SOMERSET CHORAL
CLUB AWARDED
STATE PRIZE
Organization Conducted By Mrs.
Dryden, This City, Takes
Two Prizes In 2 Years

For the second consecutive year the
Somerset Choral Club, directed by
Mrs. Benjamin T. Dryden, of this city
has been awarded the State prize for
greatest achievement in the field OF
music and greatest progress in this
field during the year.
The announcement was made early
in the week after reports had been
submittd by the various choral clubs
at the annual Rural Women's Short
Course now in session at the Univer-
sity of Maryland and was received
with a great deal of enthusiasm as a
club rarely captures a prize two
years in succession.
Mrs. Dryden, director, Mrs. Roy
Woodland, pianist, of Marion Station
and the entire personnel OF the club
are to be congratulated upon winning
this coveted place in the music field.
Their progress has been unusual and
after hearing the music rendered by
the forty or more voices there is no
question but that the award is mer-
tied one regardless of the progress
made throughout the year.
The club, however, has been most
active and has fostered the spirit OF
music appreciation throughout the
Shore, accomplishing wonders in the
development of the voice and bring
ing to the people of the community a
desire for good music.
On Thursday evening the Somerset
Choral Club presented their part OF
the program at the University which
included: "Calm AS The Night" Carl
Bohm; "Sleepy Hollow Tune" Rich
ard Kountz; "Thank God for Gar
den," Teresa Del Riego. Many addi-
tional members motored to College
Park for the occasion, returning Fri
day.

1t is expected that prior to the
broadcast of the acceptance speech,
most interesting news will be sent in
concerning what is doing elsewhere;
so, those who attend the Pocomoke
gathering will have most entertain

Close to 1000 members of the local WPA were given the day off today by order of Robert Hurley, state ad- ministrator, who said yesterday that workers all over the state should cease work for the day in order that they may vote.
 It was pointed out previously here in Waterbury, however, that there was no need of the day of, for all of the work on construction projects had been completed yesterday for the present work period.

BOWLING MATCHES
 TONIGHT PUT OFF
WASHINGTON HILL

Activities of fraternal and social organizations of Washington Hill were curtailed for the past few nights, mainly because of the nu- merous rallies which were staged in preparation for the elections, and secondly due to the untimely and accidental death of member of numerous organizations, Miss Mary K. Coughlin.
 Bowlers of the Washington Park Community Club Girls league sus- pended their schedule last night to pay their last respects to their late member, Miss Coughlin, who was buried this morning. She was killed in an auto crash Saturday night.
 St. Francis Xavier parish hall was deserted last night as the usual frequenters attended the democratic rally which was held at the home of Thomas Grady of Baldwin street. Streets of the district were bril- liantly lighted by red flares, and music of the band added a touch which distinctly denoted that the occasion was the eve of election. Usually the rally is held at the Coughlin home on South street but the sad circumstances of untimely death caused 1t to be transferred.
 The Holy Name Society cancelled it's usual Monday night "45" games last night to take part in the rally. Even the usually well attended Community House was desolate last night and no doubt will be again tonight as the Community Club Mems League of bowlers have can celled their schedule. After tonight the regular schedule of occurrences will be in sway again.

Executive Secretary

Inously and most enthusiastically selected another means in which to show their appreciation.
 The annual Red Cross roll call is about to start. It is the principal source of revenue with which the local chapter carries on much of its welfare work and general service to the community. Mrs. Ladd labors most energetically to insure the suc- cess of the roll call, appreciating as few do at times, its immense irn- poTtance to Waterbury.
 "Isig Push"
 The veterans have decided tc mobilize again and to poin in "big push" to put the annual Red Cross campaign over the top with B bang.
 The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, I'D club, Vet erans of Foreign Wars, 304th In- fantry association and various ra- tional groups are joining in a con- centrated drive to enroll every vet- eran and his family and their friends as members of the Water bury chapter, American Red Cross. It will be their way in which to ex- press their appreciation to Mrs Ladd for her splendid work here. It will be an indirect tribute, but one which Mrs. Ladd will undoubt- edly appreciate more than the per- sonal touch that the veterans in

Volunteer Services to Manifest Appreciation of Work of Mrs. Edith Ladd-PersOnaI Testimonial Original
 ly Suggested But Intended Guest Found Reluctant

A tribute that is both unique and impressive has been arranged by Waterbury's World War Veterans in honor of sincere friend and con- fidant, Mrs. Edith Ladd, executive secretary of the local chapter of the American Red Cross.
 In appreciation of her counsel and aid for many years past lead- CTS among the various ex-service- mems organizations of the city had met and had decided on Q testi- monial in honor of Mrs. Ladd. It was intended as a personal tribute to her for her many little acts of kindness that did not necessarily come within the scope of the duties of her office.
 Reluctant
 When an inkling of the plans reached the intended guest of hon. or, Mrs. Ladd very graciously, but most definitely declined to accept any recognition for her services to her "boys". She begged the com mittee to refrain from carrying out their plans. To prevent any ern- barrassment on Mrs Ladd's part the committee decided to respect her wishes as far as the personal tribute was concerned, but unani-

Eyes Open.

The pleasure of living, surely, Is en-
hanced by cultivation Of the power to
see things. In the performance of any
days ordinary routine the average indi-
vidual, if he keeps his eyes open, may
find entertainment in the passing show
of even the least colorful neighborhood.
For example, the journey from home to
Office, which is part of the pattern Of
existence followed by thousands during
six-seventhS of week, provides oppor-
tunity for inspection Of scene con-
stantly changing and, therefore, never
meaningless.
To illustrate the point, the recent
removal of the car tracks from Connec-
ticut avenue between Calvert street and
Chevy Chase Circle may be cited. The
engineers and laborers who did the work
probably did not realize the fact, but 1t
was true nevertheless that they had q
numerous audience. Over the route
each morning and evening moved un-
counted hundreds Of people, many Of
whom made it business to notice the

Localizing Civil War.

After an emergency cabinet meeting
Saturday night the French government
announced that it had unanimously de-
cided mot to intervene in any manner
whatsoever in the internal conflict in
Spain" Proclamation of that attitude
followed circumstantial reports that the
sister Popular Front regime in Madrid
had appealed to the Blum government
to authorize an extensive shipment OF
French arms, munitions and airplanes
for use against the Fascist revolutionists
now pounding at the gateways to the
Spanish Capital and who have plunged
the whole country into violent and dev-
astating civil war.
Bitter differences ragged in the Paris
cabinet over the wisdom of supplying the
hard-pressed radicals with defense and
offense sinews. Premier Blum and other
Socialist ministers were said to favor
such aid. But the grim warning Of
Rightist Nationalists that it might lead
to European war killed the project. So
France is committed, for the time being
at least, to a hands off" policy, no
matter how ardently NJ Blum and other
Popular Frontiers may yearn to go to
the rescue of their brethren across the
Pyrenees.
The decision is Salutary one. Any
active French Identification with the
Socialist Communist elements now bat
ting desperately for their political life
at Madrid would almost automatically
precipitate counter moves in both Rome
and Berlin, where sympathy with the
Spanish Fascists Is not disguised. 1t is
correspondingly conceivable that the
answer of Mussolini and Hitler-whose
community of spirit has just been sig
nalized by the action of the Reich in
being the first power to recognize the
new Roman empire" in Africa-would
be prompt Italo-German Intervention on
behalf of the rebels. Joint action to that
end might easily take the form Of mill
tary demonstrations on Frances eastern
and southeastern frontiers rather than
on Spanish soil The fat would then be
in the fire.
France has no international engage
ments that prevent her from making
arms deliveries to Spain or debar private
French manufacturers from supplying
them. 1t is exclusively a question OF
policy that is at stake. Circumstances
make it a truly burning issue-one
which, the Blum ministry is evidently
determined, shall not be permitted either
to fan into flame the smoldering embers
of revolution in France or kindle con-
fagration in Europe. Spain'S all
engulfing tragedy is terrible enough

But how do they intend to achieve itr
During the course of the campaign the
point should receive more emphasis
from both sides. It Is not dimcult to
suggest that reduced demand for relief
will permit progress toward budget
balancing policy. But it Is difficult to
promise with any degree of certainty
when, or how much. relief expenditures
will be pared down. AS general prop
osition, income will be brought to the
level of outgo. by either drastic in
crease in taxation or equally drastic
reduction in expenditures. If either
party contemplates tax program, the
nature of that program should be out
lined in advance. Certain savings might
be made in running expenses of the
normal Government establishments. But
they would be relatively small. accom-
plishing practically nothing. The big
expenditures are for the National de-
fense, the veterans and for relief Are
these the items in which budget-bal-
ancing reductions are to occur? If so,
which-and how?
The issue of mounting public debt,
heavy spending and threatened taxation
provides the Republicans with a target
for their most effective campaign ammu-
milton. Specific and detailed discussion
of how they intend to put our financial
house in order" should Governor Lam
don be elected, could well be undertaken
by the campaigning Republicans. That
is what lot Of people want to know.
