We'll known in judicial and army circles throughout the east, an au- thor of books on the subject, Judge Beardsley is very well qualified to discuss this vital though overlooked part of American life. At this time of economic insecurity, political chaos and @ general disregard for the laws of the country, Good Cit- izenship," Judge Beardsley will point out, is some thing we all must &C., quire or suffer from our indifference to public affairs.
 A half-hour question period will follow the presentation. The Forum is open to the general public. A large attendance is expected with representatives from the Waterbury Public Speaking Club, the "Y' public speaking class and number of club groups leaders in attend ance.

Holmes 7 oIks
At National

From the relatively unfamiliar
scenes of Guatemala and the West
Coast republic of South America,
Burton Holmes, famed travel lee
turer, yesterday swung across the
Continent to the glamorous East
Coast, with those ever-magnetic
cities, Buenos Aires and Rio de
Janeiro, as the high spots Of his
tour. It was the third lecture Of
his current season at the National
Theater, where next week he will
take his hearers to Normandy and
Brittany.
Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro

but they are always new in aspect.

fashionable shops, its splendor
and riches, amaze the casual Wis
itor who is unprepared for such
magnificence.
Then Montevideo, capital of
Uruguay, another beautiful city,
and as a climax to these scenes
of urban loneliness, Rio de ia
metro, world famed for the beauty
of its harbor in a unique noun
famous setting. Here the genius
of the Latin race for art and
architecture has lowered as no.
where else in the two Americas,
and the marvels of this great cap
ital never fail to evoke gaSps of
admiration. Sugar Loaf, Corco-
vado-now crowned by a colossal
Christus-and the other peaks
that surround it are known to
many who will never see the
actual beaties of Rio, so widely
have they been publicized and
pictured.
Santos, the great coffee port OF
Brazil. and Sac Paulo, its center
of industry, are interesting, but
they suffer, naturally, by compari
son with Buenos Aires and Rio
However, a thrill of another type
