Zenith Mine Awarded
Champion Honors by
National Safety Group
Local Mine Establishes the
Best 1886 Safety Record
for Metal Mines.
ADD HOLMES AWARD
1876, POI Man-Hours of Labor
Without Accident Cited
Enviable Record.

Superintendent Ben s. Richards and
his efficient forces at the Zenith mine
were appraised by letter on Tuesday
that the Zenith mine had been awarded
the highest honors in connection with
the National Safety competition Of 1885
and viii receive the |Sentinels Of
Safety" award.
The award signifies that the Zenith
mine established the best safety record
in the metal mine group in the com
petition conducted by the United States
Bureau Of Mines for the promotion Of
safety in the mineral industry.
The record Of the Zenith showed
1856 POI man-hours of labor without
lost time accident during the year. The
Zenith, during 1885, employed on an
average OF 134 men per working day
during the year.
The honors won viii be further ap-
preciated when it is known that the
Zenith is the only underground mine IN
Minnesota to receive such distinction
although in 1888 the mine received
honorable mention when it worked l0S,-
Isl man hours without a lost time ac-
cident.
John w. Finch, director Of the Bureau
Of Mines, in appraiSing the Zenith Of
the high honors won took cognizance Of
the record made when he stated: SAC
cident prevention in the mines and
uuarries Of the United States has been
SO marked and general during the past
decade that the success Of the individual
companies in promoting safety must
be especially noteworthy TO attract IN
usual attention. Such success was
achieved by your company in 1895, and
I therefore desire TO express my con-
gratulations to you and your employees
who made this remarkable record pos
sible"
The National Safety competition IS
widely recognized by mining companies
as an effective means Of preventing sc-
cidents by maintaining the interest OF
their employees in safety Throughout
the year" says The Explosive Engineer
issued by the Hercules Powder company.
Each employee becomes safety con-
scious and watches himself and his
fellow workers to prevent accidents from
marring the safety record.
The award Of the ~SentinelS OF
Safety" trophy is a national recognition

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations ON Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The ballot to be voted on
Monday and which will place
in nomination candidates for
the election in November is be-
ing sent out. The legislature
during the last session passed
an act whereby all the candi-
dates will be on one ballot in
stead of the voter being re-
CURED to call for a ballot of a
certain party. This was done to
give the timid soul an oppor-
tunity of hiding his affiliations
in order to hold his job.
However, the voter will not
be allowed to browse around
among the candidates. As
arranged the ballot is divided
into three columns. The first
column contains the names OF
the Farmer-Labor candidates
the second the Republican and
the third the Democratic candi
dates. Should you vote fol
candidates in more than one
column, the ticket will be voiC
and not counted.
Campaign managers every
where are cautioning the votel
to be careful and vote tn,
column of his choice, regardless
of instructions by the. boss Il

 He pointed out that when Warden Sheridan was first elected here, he, Atty. Freeman, had predicted a vic- tory for MT. Sheridan by about 300 votes and such was the case and in succeeding years his predictions as to the warden's margin were aS- tonishingly accurate.
 He then said: T predict that while you and live you will never see another republican elected pres ident again and the democratic state and national ticket will win by more than 1,co0 votes in Naugatuck next month.
 MT. McDer;nott promised if elect ed to the state senate ito remain democrat" to seek a reduction of $1 on the auto drivers license charge which is now $3 here, $2 in Massa- chusetts and 50 cents in New York state, and assailed the present syS- tenn of tavern inspection every three months, expressing himself in fa- vor of taxing the source of supply, and opposed to the present excise tax.
 He assailed Senator John F. Lynch, republican. and promised that if Naugatuck bill is present. ed to the legislature, he would bring it for hearing here and return with

the sentiment of the town to the senate.
 Warden Talks
 Warden Sheridan acted as master Of ceremonies and told of the work of the national and state demo- cratic administrations. He said that the WPA has certainly meant q great deal to Naugatuck, with the cost to the town only about 25 per cent of the cost of the projects. This is quite small considering the im- provements made, he asserted.
 The National Youth Administra- ton is helping local youths. he said and said that if the WPA, PWA and IVA were abolished now, it would mean greater burden on the well fare department and thus increase taxes to the town with return to "Hooverism."
 He pointed out that J. Warren Upson is not sponsored by the Am- erican Federation of Labor and said if elected, MT. Upson would be part of the group which would drive out government assistance. He said that the reason the labor federation is not backing him is because he is not with labor. He lauded the president highly.
 Judge of Probate Shea promised to treat all who have business with him, if he is again elected, fairy and courteously. He said it is not a

people know enough about the re- publican party fin this state to place too much confidence in what they say about the merit system. He said Congressman Smith has supported the president and will work for the best interests of the fifth district. He praised Judge of Probate Shea here, saying that one does not have to be lawyer to be judge of pro- bate. Judge Shea has good know ledge of probate law and is fair and honest, he declared.
 Swartz Speaks
 Governor Landon took money from the Kansas school fund when the school situation in that state was desperate, and transferred it to the highway department to make up 8 deficit of one and one-hah million dollars in that department, Comp troller Swartz told the audience of about 55 persons.
 Official Raps LandOn
 Salaries of teachers there had been cut 40 per cent in some cases and these salaries only amounted to $500 year, the comptroller said. A fund had been set aside, the interest from which was to be used for school purposes. Yet Governor Lan- don sanctioned the transfer of $2,- 5O0,000 from this fund to the high way department to make up the deficit in that department, the speaker said.
 T would rather have good schools for our children, he said, than good roads and the man who will juggle and camouflage expenses in such a way is not the type of man we want for president he asserted.
 He said that republican signs say, Vote for Landon and Land in Jobs" and commented apparently MT. Landon believes Il million jobs will spring into being overnight"
 He defended the EZRA and WPA on charges of waste and said that although there is bound to be some waste because of human na- ture, yet it is very small and cited a case in Norwalk of which he was once Mayor to show how careful a check-up is made on EZRA checks.
 He said he frequently sees signs of the return of prosperous business conditions, mentioning the difficulty of filling some car orders and the fact that many factories in this state are working double or triple shifts.
 The republican party is not only. dying, it is dead, Atty. Freeman said in witty talk, and predicted Pres- ident Roosevelt will win every state in the Union except six which will be used to act as pallbearers.
 He praised the courage of Presi- dent Roosevelt, pointing to his fight back to health from the time when

BLOWS HIMSELF
 BACK TO HEALTH

scotts BIuH, Neb., Oct. 2S-CUP) With one good lung and a bunch of toy balloons, Alfred Balchow, 21, literally blew himself back to good health today.
 Every half hour he inflated a bal- loon. It takes a lot of puf1ng and gasping now because his lung is in poor condition. The blowing is an exercise to develop that lung to nor malcy.
 By the time Balchow has enough wind" to blow up balloon without serious effort, pr. J. A. Phipps said, he'll be well on the way to recov- cry from an automobile accident which turned his internal organs topsy-turvy and smashed one lung. The biggest threat is pneumonia, which might set in because of Bal- chow's weakened condition.
 Blowing exercises to restore in- jured lungs are not new, Dr. Phipps explained. Ordinarily, the patient blows through 8 rubber tube to force water from one bottle or jar into another Balchow, though, found toy balloons more interesting.

 we know where we stand now" he said, "for the most part we have work and can pay our rents". In looking back, you wouldn't go through the condition of four years ago for anything and today you are in Q diamentrically opposite situa- finn" he declared.
 Governor Landon has promised the farmer that he would even spend more for them than the New Deal has, yet he says in the East that he will balance the budget, Attorney Scully said. twill he do this by abolishing the WPA, the federal housing project and other projects which have contributed to he well-being of the people?" the speaker asked.
 State of Uncertainty
 The voter is in a state of un- certainty for as yet he doesn't know what Landon is going to do to inn prove things. The American people has confidence in the honesty and sincerity of President Roosevelt, he added.
 T defy anybody to say what the republican party has to offer that is going to make our situation any better" Attorney Scully asserted.
 He asked what J. Warren Upson of Waterbury, republican nomine for the position of congressman from the fifth district. could do that Con- greSsman J. Joseph Smith cannot do. He pointed out that even if MT. Upson should be elected, he would undoubtedly be member of the minority party. MT. Upson has been talking about the merit system and although it is good idea. you
