 Already one third of the clubs goal of $3000 has been subscribed and all in response to the mail ap- peal sent out the past week. The replies are steadily coming into Treasurer MerWin H. Bronson, and Waterbury citizens are daily sending in their pledges to support young ster at the Farm for at least week at $5. These pledges will be payable in June.
 The story of the Health Farm which was started two years ago has attracted the attention of every person in Waterbury interested in youngsters. The club deserves the support and praise of every local citizen. Theirs is an unselfish ser- vice. A small group of men in this service group, and yet every one of them giving generously of their time and money that these helpless youngsters may have nourishment, fresh air and renewed health.

Jokesters Pick On Poor Desk Officers

Lieutenant John Dunphy, desk officer at police headquarters from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m., picked up the telephone bright and early this morning in answer to an insistcnt ring.
 Police department" he said.
 "What?" said a voice at the other end.
 Police department" repeated Lieutenant Dunphy patiently.
 "Oh, excuse me-" said the : voice. There was 8 click.
 "He hung up," said Lieutenant Dunphy, puzzled. He pushed the instrument to one side, but just then 1t rang again.
 Police department" said the lieutenant.
 Police department?" said the caller, "Oh, ah, my mistake"
 Hardly had the receiver been replaced when there came an- other ring. The puzzled frown which creased the officers fore head suddenly strengthened out as he glanced at the calendar.
 Its April first" he said, this time into the mOuthpiece of the telephone. There was a startled gasp from the receiver, and a sharp click, as caller number three hung up.
 Early this afternoon Lieuten- ant Dunphy was answering call number 56. The jokes, if any, were largely on him, he was in- clined to believe. Today was his first day on the morning shift, due to the regular quar- terly changes.

 June will find the club farm open and ready with directors in charge and with the cooperation of local doctors, Chase Dispensary and St. Mary's and Waterbury Hospitals. Boys and girls with heart cases, bone diseases, cripples of all kinds, will be transported by members to the farm.
 Doctors and business men in the club are giving unselfishly of their money and time that this vitally necessary work of helping crippled boys and girls may go on.
 Fifty-seVen boys and girls went to the Farm last summer for vacations of from five to twelve weeks.
 The club must raise 5000 for Child Health during the coming summer. The campaign for funds is now on. The club all will make pledge of at least a week or two at $500 per week. Every dollar goes in- to child health.

Godfrey, Health Officer here, praises the work of the club as follows: "The humanitarian movement sponsored by the Lions Club is aiding crippled and under nourished children in Waterbury should receive wholehearted support from every citizen. The work is not only feasible and practical but &C., tually needed and is 8 service to the community"
 A very unusual letter was received at the Clubs campaign headquar- ters, signed "A Friend" which gives sentimental, but a thought pro- voking idea: The letter reads as fol- lows: q may not be much of a per- son but there is one day in the year when I am a WiZerd. sit down and in two minutes with few scratches of my pen on small piece of paper I make the sun shine for some needy crippled child.
 T supply this child with tempting food, with pure air fresh off the meadows. with green fields in which to play and with clean quiet place to rest.
 "The day of my miracle is the day when the Waterbury Lions Club calls for its annual contribution for their Children's Health Foundation.
 q have found that if I exert my self just little bit and feel a small momentary pain in the region of my pocketbook that tie sun seems to do some special shining for me as well as the crippled child and that have 6 sense of we'll being and well-doing that can not buy in any store.
 T marvel how easy it is for me to work this miracle"
 Pledges may be sent to Merwin H. Bronson, club treasurer, at 139 Bank street. The club is anxious to have as many citizens as possible sponsor a child for at least 8 week at $500 These pledges may be signed today and paid during the next two months. Send in your pledge today and share your health with some crippled child.

EDITORIAL.

Undoubtedly, you have read some
where, the quotations, To will Is te
win" and willing power is winning
power" The oldest and wisest maxim:
often appear decidedly obvious to the
reader-perhaps, because they are sc
definitely true. Yet with the actual APP
plicaion of some of these proverbial
expressions, we learn to realize and APP
Ipreciate their varity and practi-
cableness.
Willing power is winning power,
To will is to win" When is it that
our will enacts prominent role in our
daily lives? 1t is when we are con-
fronted with a conflict between our
ideals and temporary attitudes. We are
largely physically weak in the resisting
of attractive temptations. When we
yield to the urge of momentary desires,
we do so because our will is weak and
our ideal not clear and strong. Ideals
and will power are mutually dependent.
In the instance of some persons, there
is enough will with which to effect re-
sulting successes, but lack of an aim
or ideal cripples the agency of that
strong attribute. What is a remedial
factor in such situation 1t is un-
fortunately impossible to tranfser one
persons iron will to another visionary
individual who is deficient in that
capacity.
There is but one expediency: create
an ideal for that will and form a will
for that ideal Ideals are less difficult
to fashion than is will power Ideals
can be either fixedly implanted in ones
personality or whimsically adaptable,
according to type. Contrarily, will
must receive vohtionary effort for
strong development and sometimes it
is humanity impossible to inspire a will
because of the fact that 4men are not
created equal
People who are endowed with force
full wills and yet permit their ideals to
become negative, require access to re-
vivifying enthusiasm which will re-
store their lost human interests. For
them, an objective must be created.
But, happily, humanity is generally
sanguine, with countless irons in the
fire, and optimistic with goals to reach.
The sole obstacle often is poorly de-
veloped will power, TO make these
visions factual.
