meeting of the Young Peoples Union of the First Baptist church. He told of customs in his country. A young woman, he said, never goes out with man alone. There is no such thing as love at first sight as in most cases the parents of a girl choose her husband.
 According to the speaker, 1t is the general belief that the present gov- ernment of Turkey is a dictatorship. It is different from the Relationships of Hitler and Mussolini however. Changes are made suddenly by the government but not without great deliberation on the part of the president and the assemblyf An- other difference from the European Relationships is that the head of the Turkish government is changed every four years. The people vote for their congressman and these, in turn, vote for the president.
 South Federated
 Rev. Harold E. Craw, assistant pastor of Second Congregational church expressed his regret in talk at South Federated church last night in connection with the fact that many so-called modern persons have no deep roots in life, no deeply rooted connections with home, community and the church.
 He stressed the fact that too much stress is placed on materialistic roots and that there is need of calm and stabilized outlook on life. Such a stabilization, he said, can come only through the power of God and the spirit of the universe, which is God.

late in the afternoon, they were informed that unless a verdict was reached quickly they would be locked up for the night. Immediately they decided Co settle the issue by coin-flipping. They did this. Acqulttal of the defendant won the toss, and the verdict was SO turned in.
 The jury Is an important part of the machinery of justice fin the United States. its function IS to weigh the facts pre- sented during the trial and to apply the law to those facts. The judge explains to the jury. If the jury fails to do its part faithfully and honestly, the whole effort to secure justice collapses.
 Juries make plenty of mistakes. They are sometimes swayed by emotion and prejudice. On the whole, however, they perform Q tremendously important serv- Ice for society. When they fail in their proper functioning they endanger the freedom of innocent persons and give opportunity for the guilty to escape all punishment for their crimes.

Is It Wilful Blindness?

Postal clerks in convention at Bridge port over the weekend formally pro- tested the fact that they are among those expected to pay the old age pension tax of SS annually, although at the same time the law makes them ineligible 10 benefit by 1t. This Is due to the fact tnat the Connecticut law bars any person with any income from securing old age assistance and postal workers contribute to retirement fund. By the same token we presume that teachers who contribute to their retirement fund would be sirli- larly affected.
 We don't agree with the Bridgeport Times-Star which claims that the posi- tion of the postal clerks is thoroughly urtenable". The Park City paper argues that if everyone contributed his or her $3 annually with the Idea of some day profit ing thereby, there wouldn't be enough money to go around As the editor puts 1t. (. @ relative few Will benefit" rom the annual tax paid by those in the ell. gible group. That's perfectly true, put how is any man to know in these trylng days whether or not he may not pc one \ of those "relative few" twenty, thirty or forty years hence?
 1T every Olu AEe tdxPhyeF aooAs "V s.'S plan in the light that he never IS going to need assistance, there should actually Do no need of 1t in the first place. But it is the fear or the fancy that some day any one of us might be in need Of old age assistance that is going to motivate the great majority of those Connecticut resi- deuts who have just started to pay their annual tax. That's the practical view and the one that Is going to be taken by most people in the laboring class.
 We are not contending, mind you, that groups like postal clerks, teachers, ire men, policemen, etc., who maintain their own retirement funds for benefit of nerl- bors, should be exempt from the old age tax. If all special groups were so exempt, 1t Is true that the old age pension fund would not nnaterialize very rapidly. But one can sympathize With their attitude towards the matter It's just a natural reaction and any group would take the same stand under the same circumstances This is 6 pretty material world after all.

Deceived Citizens

Two citizens, discussing a special tax levy on which voters of their community were soon to ballot, agreed that tax levies were hard on taxpayers pocketbooks. But they liked the honesty of the mayor who said frankly that safe standards of police and fire protection and decent standards of rubbish and garbage collection could not be maintained without money to pay for them. So the two citizens figured they'd probably vote for the levy. Much is said and written these days about leg islators who try to deceive taxpayers by promising to do more things for them with less taxation. As Alice Longworth re- marked in one of her syndicated articles, "The fact is that neither side, in an elec- ton year, seems to have courage to be honest with the taxpayer"
 What about the taxpayer? Does he have the courage to be honest with hiyn- self? Does he count the cost of the things he wants the government to do for him and then decide whether the service is worth the cost?. Does he study the econ- oInies he asks the government to practice and then decide which ones are wise and which are dangerous? Legislators could not deceive taxpayers if the latter were not so ready to be deceived and so given to self-deception.

Orange Leads the State

A rather dubious honor was conferred on the town of Orange this week. The State Motor Vehicle Department issued the list of annual traffic violations which showed the town leading the state for convictions. As 6 veritable "speed trap" there could be no doubt about Oranges supremacy, using the departmental fig- ures as c criterion. Orange, we under stand, doesn't care too much about this new honor. Tn fact town court officials have protested.
 7 Last year six constablcs employed by 1lie town arrested 1,240 motorists. This was just eighteen more than were ar- rested in Hartford with it's 427 members Of the police department. Only New Haven and Bridgeport surpassed Orange Aa the number of arrests. Waterbury was q veritable babe in the arms com pared to this thriving community down near New Haven. All of which might make one ask questions.
 Only e few weeks back we recall dis Eusging this topic Of numerous arrests. The point had been made that pressure was brought to bear on town and court officials too often, thus preventing con- yictions where convictions might have served good purpose in preventing iur. tlier accidents. Our contention was that ln addition to urging less favoritism by court officials there also be fewer speed traps and roadside justice courts.
 {: Orange officials may be serving good purpose in nabbing every Violator Of the rules of the road, but too many times there have been instances, not neceSSari- ly ia this town, of an anxiety or the part 6f constables or other enforcement off, cials to increase court receipts by whole sale arrests. Real violators should be Arrested and warned the first time. Ha- bitual ones should be fined. If justice ag meted on all sides, there won't be many EompIaints from offending motorists.

At present he Is engaged fin changing laws governing the islands from their original Danish customs to American ones. He predicts prosperity for the islands, which Is encouraging after hearing them termed the nations poorhouse in previous g.op. administration.

United Daughters of the Confectionery are protesting against the erection of a statue of Buffalo Bill Colonel William A. Cody) at the Texas Centennial Expo sition in Dallas, Texa:. The claim is made that Buffalo Bill was Union spy and to glorify him with statue would be unreasonable. Of course there must be more to 1t than this. It isn't just that Buffalo Bill did do 8 bit of reconnoitering for the Union troops which puts him on the spot. Probably southern heroes are being overlooked. We can understand some indignation ct this. But that Buff falo Bill couldn't be honored with Q statue, even in southern states. for his Civil War work is unbelievable. We couldn't imagine northerner protesting against statue of Robert E. Lee north of the Mason-Dixon line. If Buffalo Bill contributed to Texas history, he cer- tainly deserves place in it's celebration.
