Of the most fascinating sea dwellers.

study natures children is in their own
home town You do not exist for most
Of them. All you have to do is to take
q comfortable ringside seat and watch
their performance.
The barnacle belongs to the Order
Cirripudia, which means "curled feet"
and of the genus Balanus, meaning
sacorn shells" Don't think for
moment that the life of barnacle
Is dull or hum-drum. It first steps

he has acquired six pairs Of legs, two

legs or feet extend beyond the edge
Of his shell.
The place of residence now becomes

Another change is about to take
place in his eventful life. All this
time he has tasted or rather lived on
his fat. The bivalve is cast of. The
eyes are lost and the feathery legs and

growth from now on will be indicated
by lines found on the shell, as in
mollusks.

UP a current of water. This is always
laden with minute food matter, and Is
swept into the mouth of the barnacle.
Sometimes a rock will be so covered
With barnacles it will appear almost
white at low water mark. At this time
these expert anglers will pull in their
SCOOPS, close their doors and wait for
the tide to return. Then the surface
of the rock seems to come to life as
the shell doors open, the feathery
Scoops creep forth and begin to wave
back and forth.
Z There are three orders of barnacles
you can easily locate: Those that
attach themselves directly to rocks,
those that have long stalks by which
they cling to floating objects, and
those which pray on animals.
/ In the Spring when the barnacle
rnolts, the paper-thin glossy skin will
be found floating on the water close
to the shore line. II there is a great
number of barnacles, the water will
have a silvery border where it strikes
The shore. That Is enough evidence
Tor you-there are barnacles close by!
The ship barnacle belongs to the
genus Lepas. It's home is the bottom
Of ships. It is, Of course, a famous
traveller and much despised. They
increase with such rapidity that their
great numbers are able to lessen the
speed Of even large vessels.

he didn't quite believe what he heard.
"Why should they be starving? II
there isn't food enough for them here.
why shouldn't they go farther
South?"

You'll never know how quickly a
bad winter cough can be relieved, un-
til you try this famous recipe It il

cough remedy, because it gives more
prompt, positive results. It's no trou-
Die at all to mix and costs but tri1e.
Into a pint bottle, pour PA ounces
Of Pinex; then add granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. Syrup is
easily made with 2 cups Of sugar and

ments until dissolved. No cooking
needed. This gives you four times as
much cough medicine for your money,
and it's a much better remedy. 1t

Instantly you feel its penetrating
effect. 1t loosens the phlegm, helps
clear the air passages, and soothes the

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-09

Judging from reports and the budget
as submitted to the Board Of Aldermen
this week there will be but one major
project in Waterbury in the next year.
That will be the completion of the new
Baldwin Street bridge. This job will in
volve, as all readers will recall, much
more than merely building new bridge.
The street lines will have to be altered
and the city has acquired considerable
land to make the change possible. In
addition to that the railroad right of way
will also be affected. This is one of the few
modern bridges constructed in Water
bury in which no consideration has to be
given to trolley tracks. Had 1t been done
few years back the tracks would still
have been laid, we presume. incidentally
federal aid will be given the city in
accomplishing this much-wanted change
in the street and bridge layout. It will
be a vast improvement on the present
structure and will make fine entrance
to this particular section of the city.

Otherwise he would have found no

back to 1776 he would have discoy-

have discovered that American rev.
olutionarieS were realistic to the ex-
tent that they would mop up such

resolution that brought victory for
American democracy. He would
have learned that these men ac-
copied as a sacred responsibility

would destroy the democratic rev.
olution.

ers so 1t Is true with the Soviet

Fifty Years Hence

Passage of an unemployment insur-
ance bill this week at the special session
Of the Legislature marks an epoch in
Connecticut law-making. We may not
think so today, but our descendants will
fifty years hence Even sooner than that
the benefits of this law will be felt and
appreciated. Those who benefit and
those who merely see the benefits will
bless the day when Connecticut decided
to follow the federal government in pro-
viding proper social security for the cit
liens of the United States.
While there seems to be an undercur-
rent Of feeling that the U. s. Supreme
Court will find as much fault with the
federal social security bill as it has with
other legislation, bearing the title, New
Deal, there is just as much confidence in
official circles that here is one piece of
legislation that will not be declared void
or unconstitutional. In the event that
it is ruled out of existence, Connecticut's
law will likewise become imperative. But
if this should come to pass, there need be
no worry but what some substitute will
be found that will have for its prime pur-
pose security in old age and in time OF
unemployment for everybody.
We don't think that Connecticut legis-
lators need to worry about the back
ground or purpose Of social security.
What they might be more properly con-
cerned with is the proper disposition and
administration of the law in this state. 1t
will require half million dollars to be
operated properly every year. This is

seekers to descend upon every person

OPPOSITION TO FLOOD DAM
(Meriden JournaD

Residents Of the Vermont towns
of Newfane, Townshend and Brook
line have registered opposition TO
the West River dam project which
Is part Of a great federal program
to check devastating floods In the
Connecticut river. The townspeoplc
hold that flooding the valley IN
which their towns exist would do
them injury and damage, and would
be for the benefit Of Springfield.
Holyoke, Hartford. Middletown and
other communities which are peri
odical flood victims.
There's lot in what they say.
They have generous compensation
In mind, Of course, and none Will
say that they should not be well
paid for the loss Of their property.
But q few must expect inconven-
fence and even sacrifice for the good
OF many thousands who have no
other way Of protecting themselves
from the angry waters.
The flood protection should be
carried on as speedily as possible.
Vermont herself looked to the fed
eral government for help In this d.
rection and is now fairly safe from
floods, thanks to the generosity OF
the citizens Of the nation. She
should be helpful to those who
helped her.

Found Its Voice

Looking back at the presidents speech
In BuenoS Aires, one can see that 1t was
important not so much for what it said
as for the spirit that it evoked. For here,
at last, democracy answered the chal-
lenge of the dictatorial governments.
Here, at last, was sounded rallying call
for all men who believe that the way OF
freedom and liberty can muster the
strength and the unity which will carry
it through the worlds great crisis.
Something of the kind has been needed
very badly for long time. Actual fight
ing between the democracies and the die
tatorships has not yet begun, and-with
the blessing of heaven it may never
begin; but the verbal war has been go
ing on for several years, with the dicta-
tors on the offensive all along the line.
1t was high time that some spokesman
for democracy took the world stage and
stated the case for freedom in sharp, I'M
miStakable terms. That is what Presi-
dent Roosevelt did at Buenos Aires, and
the way in which he did it was tremend-
ously important. For we have been hear
ing, year after year, that dictatorship
was the one and only possible solution
to the kind of stress that besets human
society in this difficult postwar era.
Over and over again the dictators
have announced that democracy was
played out, too confused to find voice,
and too divided to use it if it did find it.
They have declared that the people can
escape fro mtheir troubles only by sacri-
ficing their old ideals of freedom, trust
ing their lives to strong and ruthless lead
ers, and preparing to fight and die for
their rights. And the democracies, year
after year, took it and make no answer.
Now the answer has been made, and 1t Is
crushing in it's logic.
There is, after all, something almost
insane about seeking the remedy for pro-
round economic Embellishments in
nationalistic measures which make the
maladjustment worse. There is some
thing even more stupid about trying to
get out from under the Wreckage of the
last war by preparing to fight new one.
These are the only remedies dictatorship
offers; can democracy possibly do worse
than that? It cannot With all its weak
ness, it's blindness, and it's stupidity,
democracy offers the world saner pro-
gram, more workable program. And at
last democracy has spoken out about it.
Cooperation in place of sullen rivalry,
Cancellation in place Of hatred, negotia-
ton in place Of saber-rattling - these
are the things in which democracy puts
it's faith. 1t believes that this inevitable
war need not be fought, that men need
not give up all their liberties, or any OF
them, to survive; that the great world
interchange of goods and services can
yet be restored to it's old vigor and use
fitness. 1t is good to have that program
announced by voice to which all the
world must listen
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-09

Democrats will be put in a peculiar
position at the forthcoming legislative
session when the proposed jail farm bill
is brought up. In the past they have
given considerable support to this meas
ure, although when 1t did get into the
General Assembly it was rebuffed by both
democrats and republicans. But with
Governor Wilbur L. Cross resolved to put
through this piece of legislation if it is at
all possible, democrats will have to line up
with him on this proposal or else be op-
posed. In the past they have not fallen
away from his leadership on important
legislation very many times. There were
exceptions, notably the racing bill, which
he vetoed.

To restore capitalism In the So

analogy. -.
Our good forefathers Of 1776
founded American democracy. They
loved democracy. But what did
American democracy mean IN the

mean freedom for English monar-

mean that these enemies should be
afforded the privilege to campaign

OF course not!
