A petition has been forwarded
to President Roosevelt signed by
Eleven italian American Socities,
one trade association, one social
club and both the Italian American
and Italian Veterans organizations
of Waterbury.
The petition reveals the intense
interest which American citizens
of Italian extraction, have in the
controversy affecting Italy and
Ethiopia. In the official state
ment to the local press the follow
ing comment was made:
considerable propaganda is be-
ing Disseminated which would make
it appear that Italians are much
divided on the Ethiopian question.
Undoubtedly there may be few
dissenters in every cause, and every
country has them, even patriotic
America.
But there is no doubt that Mus
solini has the support and conf
dence of the Italian race, no mat
ter what the result will be.
No government within our MEM
ory has done so much for a nation
and the world as Mussolini's and
those who knew Italy before Mus
solini went into power and see it
now, cannot deny the almost
miraculous transformation of a
country practically destitute of ma
tural resources.
Several thousands of applications
have been made by Italians in this
country, to join the country's SER
vice, but Mussolini does not need
them because he has sufficient SOL
1iers to meet any emergency"

Religion In A
Nutshell
By REV. HENRY K. PASMA,
Phi. D.
GAMBLERS

Some writer-I do not recall his
lname-once said: "At times / feel
glad that the Puritans in their day
killed the witches who claimed they
were able to foretell the future. For
if we really did know what was to
happen to US, much of the zest, the
eagernese, the motive for Twins
would be taken away. Life must re-
main gamble"
At first glance it would seem Holy
Scripture agrees with this observa-
ton. Of one of the most ancient as
well as most hazardous of occupa-
tons, that of farming, King Solomon
asserts: "He that observeth the wind
shall not sow; and he that regardeth
the clouds shall not reap" The farmer
needs the recklessness of the gambler
to be able to raise his harvests. Agri-
cultural experts undoubtedly are a
boon to the tiller of the soil. Yet not
infrequently Nature upsets the best
worked-out theories. The words of
Jobs friend, Elihu, have lost none of
their sarcasm even today: "Dost thou
know the balancing of the clouds ?"
The educator needs to be a gambler.
His is the sowing in soil which hides
far more mysterious uncertainties
than the upturned furrow of the hus-
bandman. The biographies of not a
few of the great among mankind
mock the intelligence quotient of the
schoolroom. The scientist needs to be
a gambler. Important scientific dis
lcoveries haye not come to scientists
suddenly in flash of revelation. They
have come about much more because
for years on end perhaps, eager minds
were willing to grope in the dark; be.
cause brilliant men were willing to
fling away profiigately the treasures
of talent, of energy, of time, Of
health. Even religion demands the
recklessness of the gambler. No one
less than Jesus Himself declares
whatsoever will save his life shall
lose it. But whatsoever will lose his
life, for My sake, shall find it."
Is all life, then, a gamble ? Not
quite. Not nearly so. There are a few
things which may serve one as a KEY
that opens an unknown future. Indus
try, diligence, honesty, trust in a
Higher Power, love for God and ones
fellowmen-if one will cast these with
bountiful hand into the hours and
days and years, the harvest of life is
not uncertain.

BUYING A FARM

Is this the time to buy farm? That question has
been asked in this neghborhood many times recently by
rural residents For sometime it has looked as though
couldn't go wrong buying farm at present prices
and although prices for farm lands have gone up the
past two years good land still looks mighty attractive
is always better to buy when prices going up than when
they coming down. lot of city people have to
the conclusion that the farm is mighty solid place in
which to have of their money invested instead of
trying to make it pyramid in the stock market Our answer
to the question: SIS this the time buy farm ?? is mo-
if you buying for speculation and quick rise But if
you want good safe investment the is Eyes"
Good land at present prices managed nteigen should
bring good return the money and at the same time
gradually increase in value
