Canadian agriculture It is the fundamental of purchasing power. Just Q few weeks ago, when the government fixed at 87h cents a bushel the minimum price for wheat, the financial return was cal culated at &241, 900, GOO, compared with $223, ,000,0 Q year ago. With wheat at a dollar, e66, 100000 is added to purchasing power, which is a third more than last year.
 Similarly, the index of farm in- comes is steadily rising due to a 20 per cent increase in the prevail ing prices of farm produce of all kinds. The urban consumer feels the adverse effects upon his budg- ct but the farmer thinks that, even

Settlers Village was created to show how folks lived long ago in Waterbury and in foreign places. Waterburians had the courage and the faith to conceive and accom- plish this great venture and they deserve considerable credit. And when the huge gates of the stock aded settlement close Sunday at sundown they can all sit back and feel that their efforts were mighty successful. Next year the eyes of the world will be focused on Water bury and its unique village.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-18

Primarily, Settlers Village is just an attraction, but in vari- Ous ways 1t is stimulating, for fertile minds cannot help but be stimulated by the innumer- erable features. People have friendlier understanding and clearer notion of the old archi- lecture and old ideas of fur nishing after inspecting the buildings at the settlement.

Hog prices were never so high since the war, largely on account of the British demand. The general up- turn in agriculture is considered most promising development.

Outside of the industrial expo- sition in the town hall, Settlers Village is page from the past. It is directly opposite to the scheme of the Worlds Fair, for at Chi- cago one saw all the innumerable machines and utilities which make our way of life so essentially dif- ferent from anything that our fath- CTS or grandfathers dreamed of at- taining. At the fair, one. obtained a sense of the boundless opportunities for further change and improve ment, for it showed up the me- chanical progress of a hundred years.

Settlers Village gave new life to Waterbury. It got people active, in- to circulation. It put music in the air. It brought back memories of the long ago and of far off places. In fewer words, it awakened us from the dullness of the long years of the depression.

The idea behind Settlers vil-

The idea behind Settlers Vil- lage, however, was simple and fundamental. It was not created to illustrate the dependence of modern development on scien- tific research although a tour of the settlement makes one think of such things. After inspecting Settlers Village one is bound to give thought to the. realization of how human opportunity has increased and how scientists have made 1t possible for men to live better, much better than our fOrebears.

Civic pride was the incentive to action. These mixed groups wanted their city to stand out among other Connecticut cities. They dug into their purses with out any coaxing.

We Waterburians are . pe- culiar people. Our roots so back to every land. In our heritage are the traditions of all peoples.

Yet, living here has changed us all powerfully and subtly, regardless of our racial origins or national in- heritances. The Irish who settled here are different in important ways from those who remained in Ire- land, So, too, are the Italians and Germans and Scandinavians and the migrants from all the other racial groups. Even the Englishmen here in Waterbury differ sharply from those who remained at home.

Rev.James r. Galley, Minister, An
nOunceS Services for the Week

Why is it that If one goes sing
ing or laughing into a room, the
tiredest workers look up and go on
more easily with their work, the
most sluggish muscles respond
anew to the burden put upon
them? No one can altogether ex-
plain it, but joy IS at work, and
joy is one of the greatest tonics
ever known. Just as music is nee
essary to the soldiers on the march
if they would keep their strength
from failing, so the music of joy is
necessary on the long, difficult
march of life. 1t is wise to seek
Joy by every rightfui means, to
treasure every ray of it that falls
across our walls. Of Jesus it was
said, God, thy God, hath annoint-
ed thee with the oil of gladness
above thy fellows" So, then, his
followers owe it to the rest of the
world to appear with cheerful
faces, radiating the sunshine of
hope and trust, of innocent fun and
laughter that rises from the heart.

sence of the pastor this service will
