Country Clubs invitation golf
tournament.
For Roger S. Peacock, Indian
Spring Country Club ace, is the
reigning favorite to win, his entry
having been announced today by
Leopold v. Freudberg, tournament
chairman.
Further Advanced
Peacock is further advanced in
his golf game than other local
amateurs, saving Dick Lunn,
Chevy Chase and Burning Tree.
And it is unlikely that the latter
will enter, having stated he will
leave for Oahnont next week to
practice 10 days there for the ma
tional Open qualifying trials on
May 10.
The Indian Spring star has
worked on his game throughout
the winter months and this early
spring. He hasn't permitted a
playable day to pass without play
ing or practicing. AS a conse-
quence, he is better primed for
tournament play now than his
local rivals. Besides, Peacock bids
fair to surpass his past tourna-
ment and championship perform
anceS.
Four public parks stars, Volney
G. Burnett, Claude Rippy, George
Molloy and Bobby Burton, loom
as threats to Peacock. Burnett

little sphere around the bunkered

Springtime Is A Lovely Season

There is looney lyric that runs along the lines of the above caption with the ac- companying instruction that "every season should be spring time is lovely season" and so on ad infinitum or while the singers voice lasts and the listeners patience holds out. The sentiment is all too true. Springtime is a lovely season. It can be made all the more lovely by the cooper ation of the citizenry of any community. For example right here in Waterbury April 9th ushers in cleanup campaign.
 We have them every year. From a com mercial standpoint cleanup and paint-up time is usually spasmodic effort to pro- mote little business. And this in itself is praise-worthy But the idea behind the entire movement is the most praise worthy of all Cities the size of Waterbury often harbor many unsightly sections that merely need a little attention to m a ke them just as presentable as those where the broom hits oftener.
 However, Waterbury plans real as- Sault on dirt this spring. 800 men will be engaged in the task of cleaning up our streets and highways. They will sweep away the accumulation of. sand on the streets left after the ice and snow of win ter. They will also do little policing along such routes as are tree and bus h shaded. Rubbish will be placed at frequent spots and picked up by teams and trucks. Two public dumps are recommended to the private individuals who engage in this campaign for spotlessness.
 We might suggest that the city go even farther than that. One of the big reasons why more private property isn't cleaned up oftener is the difficulty in getting rid of trash. Most people don't care to use their private automobiles to cart away barrel of rubbish. And it is expensive to have somebody else do it. Why not allot two or three days for property owners to collect their rubbish and to place it along the curb where city trucks could collect it? That is done in many towns regularly, the city maintaining the rubbish collection all the year round.
 Without interfering with the private re- noval concerns we'd suggest that this clean up week of April 9th be character ized by municipal drive on rubbish. Give everybody chance to get rid of some of the junk now littering yards, garages, barns, cellars, and attics. A good deal more will be done away with in this man. her than by requesting individuals to notify the Health Department that they want rubbish removed. Assign certain days to certain sections of the town and we feel sure the results will surpass all expectations.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-04-02
Streets Without Litter

The sanitation department of the New York city government has started drive for clean streets. First it sent out staff of investigators to see just where the ilt- ter was and to throw a little respect Tor the Sanitary Code into the litterers
 This was done by warning persons caught dropping paper or boxes or other rubbish on the street. Next they issued summonses against violators of the sani- tary code. On single morning, recently, more than 250 summonses were issued. They were for such offenses as sweeping refuse off sidewalks into gutters after $ a. m., for not properly tying up rubbish, for not covering garbage cans and for filling cans too full of ashes. Citizens were reminded that there are 15,000 trash con- tainers on the streets and were strongly urged to use them.
 Even without the rubbish containers, however, a good citizen ought to prefer tucking his empty cigaret package into his pocket in place of tossing it to the side walk or gutter. The clean street ought to be a matter of pride and esthetic pleasure to every citizen.

Wonders Will Never Cease

Connecticut at last has sold the Sher- wood Island state park idea to all con- cerned. At the recent legislative hearing on two bills concerning the park there wasn't one opponent. In fact all who ap- peared at the hearing were of the opinion that the park should be developed not pieceIneal, as it has been since 1914, but as unit. Full development was not merely asked of the state, but demanded. And in the face of that we do not see how any legislative opposition can crop forth.
 Of course the matter of finances may have to be taken into consideration. And thereby hangs tale. Just twenty-one years ago and state acquired the first land for this shorefront park. Instead of get ting complete cooperation then every ob- stacle was thrown in the path of the State Park and Forest Commission to prevent development. For long years it was virt- ually impossible for anybody save owners of adjacent property to get on Sherwood Island or near the state park.
 Sporadic efforts to bring the park for ward as recreation spot failed Within the last ten years came the supreme ef- fort. 1t was climaxed four years ago when the Legislature almost abandoned the ark entirely in favor of another Fair

 ghber of people attending it has in-
 leased. It would be still more available
 the state could purchase necessary land
 round out it's present holdings and es-
 blish it's own right of way up to the bach.
 
 There is no reason why it shouldn't either with former hostile factions now Agreeable to the development. We don't know what brought about this change of sentiment We don't intend to inquire too deeply into the matter. We only hope that the Legislature may find the necessary funds with which the park may be com pleted. It seems pity that the oppor- tunity comes when money is scarce. But isn't that always the case?

Five Million JolIoppies

This will be good year for the automo- bile business, and, therefore, for business in general, says an automobile man, if the obsolete cars on the road numbering five or six millions break down fast enough. Or better yet, if the owners can be persuaded to abandon them before they break down. It's funny about lot of those old timers. The owners, habit uated to them and even loving them for their faults, insist that they run as well as they ever did" Even if that is true, an expert points out, automobile manu- facture has made such immense progress since the old models were built that their 1885 successors are incomparably better. And they sell for good deal less money.
 The salesmen's game is to tempt the old car riders to take whirl in the new cars That's an almost fatal experience. Many of the people rattling around in relics of the boom years can't yet afford to pay half as much for new car twice as good as their old one ever was. But II three or four millions of them can man. age it, there's no question about the for ward kick to business And autos might run then, in 1886, into another 5,O00,OOO year. We're now about 100000 cars be- low our peak total of 25,000,000, and the old fellows are breaking down faster than ever before, leaving vast deficit.

DIFFICULT PROBLEM

The President is finding the vary widely as to the type of House secretarial staff no easy matter.
 Congressional leaders and in- ner council advisers with whom he has discussed the problem avry widely as to the type of man he should pick.
 Some of the Brain Trusters favor Charles A. Beard, the his- .tOrian.
 Another group is urging the selection of Frank Walker.
 They point out that while the wealthy, publicity-shy former head of the National Emergency council is . conservative, he Is also on excellent terms with the left wingers.
 Another group-chicny south. ern Old Guarders--have put for. ward a different choice.
 Arguing that the chief need of the president ie an experi- enced political go-between and manipulator they suggested that he draft Secretary Dan Roper from the cabinet for the job.
 To persuade Roper to reIin- quish hIs adOFed cabinet post it was proposed that he be given the title of "Assistant to the President.
 The President has indicated to several intimates that his first choice fin Walker, whom he re- gards highly, but expresses doubt that he could persuade him to
