$75,OOO SOUGHT
 FOR NEW SCHOOL
Institute for Blind in Farm- ingtOn Recently De-
 strOyed By Fire

An appeal for public support of the bill calling for an appropria- tion of $75,00O to rebuild the Farmington Nursery of the Con- necticut Institute for the Blind is made to-day by Gordon Hicks, su- perintendent of the institute. The nursery was recently destroyed by fire.
 Some of the children formerly cared for in the building are now in temporary quarters at the Trades department of the Institute at Wethersfield. The others for the present have been returned to their Lomes.
 The state has largely erected the present buildings under operatit T by the institute. The general as- sembly in 1909 appropriated $50,- 900 for the school department. and in 1915 it appropriated $60.000 for the trades department. The Con- necticut Institute has an excellent site on Blue Hills avenue for the new building. adjoining the school of which it is to be a unit.
 Charles J. Bennett, consulting engineer, former state highway commissioner and a director of the Connecticut Institute has carefully surveyed the plant and plans for the proposed addition and advises the inclusion of separate heat ing plant, to eliminate the danger of fires.
 The plans are approved by the state board of education of the blind. headed by Governor Cross. and have the backing of the Hart fora Rotary club and various state organizations. N

Commander
 der was interviewed in a broadcast from Station WATR by William T. Harrington, city editor of the Wa terbury Democrat.
 Casper Davis post organized on November 9th, 1894 has at present fifty members. It will close it's charter next Monday evening with an anticipated enrolment of sixty. In response to questions on conn munity service Mr DuBois answers are contained in the following statement:
 Principles
 There are ten fundamental prin- ciples expressed in the preamble to the constitution of the American Legion. The fifth of these is: "To inculcate sense of individual ob- ligation to the community, state, and nation." Translated into a term of action this is community service. It ranks close behind re- mobilization, together with Ameri- canism, and ahead of national de- fense in the four-point program, to the accomplishment of which each post of the American Legion annually pledges itself.
 Community Service
 The work of making American communities better places in which to live is one of the most lasting contributions to American life now being accomplished by the Legion. If a worth while improvement is carried out it is usually maintained and becomes a permanent part of community life, for our towns and cities seldom lose ground. Legion aires takes a great deal of pardon able pride in pointing to projects of community value which they have been Instrumental in se- curing or completing. It means a great deal to them to know that the Legion can properly be given credit for having accom- plished anything accruing to the benefit of the entire community. Community service has become so important a factor in the program of the Legion that it's posts everywhere fail to consider their annual activ- ities successful if they cannot point to at least one major accomplish ment in its name during the year.
 Leadership
 The records of posts throughout the country indicate that there is almost no limit to the type or size of the project which can be under. taken in carrying out the program. The particular needs and circum- stances of the local situation must necessarily guide the choice. Com munity betterment; safety; educa- tional and good government pro- grams: community recreation and athletics: memorials; public health activities; national defense pro- grams; city advertising and indus trial promotion; aviation and the sponsoring of work with junior groups are put d few of the broad fields of community service activity in which American Legion posts

Johnson Refused to Hush

Now that the returns are in. the administration is divided in opinion whether General John sons radio attack on Huey and Father Coughlin was the worst thing that. has happened to 1t to date or whether it was just mere ly too bad.
 Most New Dealers are sure they couldn't have made a more unfor- tunate choice for a defender of the administration against those two ebullient disturbers than the poor general. Johnson's career as a rabble-rouser is over and his pop ular following, if any, is slender one. But his best friends won't tell him.
 One of my pet little birdies tells me Roosevelt heard about the Johnson speech before it was made and hastened to send Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed McGrady to New York to call the general off. McGrady was closely associated with Johnson in MIRA and they are still good friends.
 Anyway. McGrady certainly
 went. He pfeaded With JOhn-
 son. When the general insist
 ed on going through with it.
 McGrady tried to get him to cut
 out certain paragraphs dealing
 with COughlin. But Johnson was
 fretful. He wouldn't even do
 that.
 Consensus is that he made new followers for Long and Coughlin He at least gave them chance for the most publicized speeches they ever made and by far the biggest radio audiences either ever had.
 Certain persons who run in and out of Roosevelt's office and near ly always reflect his views are be- moaning the fact that Johnson couldn't confine himself to Huey, without bringing in Ceughlin and religious questions.
 If he had to mention Coughlin, they say, he should have done it in a nice way and implied no more than that Coughlin was misguided.
