HOSE. who read the
writings Of daily col
umnists, must, at
some time have en-
ioyed the interesting
paragraphs written by o. o. Nc
lntyre. It is a custom Of his,
often, to nominate cer.ain people
for yarid things. Il may be their
particular style, or their ability
to do things just right, or any
number Of reasons that apparent
ly come to his mind for no rea-
son at all. It is said that u cat
may look at a king. so in our
own little circle and in our own
little way we will nominate a
young man and a young girl this
week, whom, we think. deserves
that distinction. The first, the
young girl, Sarah Nutter. for her
ability to carry on for her father,
Clement Nutter, who has been
confined to his home because Of
an infection following his step
ping on a nail. Mr.. Nutter con-
ducts a milk route in town. and
while he has been indispOsed
Sarah has gone each morning to
deliver the milk before time for
her school duties. Such a gratu-
ity Of strength and love warrants
the praise herewith. The sec
Ond nomination goes to Curtis
Williams for his devotion to his
home church. For the past five
years, at each Christmas and
Easter, he has been at home to
help with the choir music for
these two important services,
while studying at the University
Of Delaware and University Of
North Carolina. This Easter will
be the first time he will have
been unable to keep up his fine
record. After all. all of our
heroes and herOines are not on
the stage, nor in hooks.

drums with all sorts of ammunition cal- culated to ingratiate themselves or their candidates with the voting public. The flmpus now dates back to ten days ago when the annual message of the President of the United States to Congress was car- ried over the air to millions of listeners. Republicans were incenSed that the talk, which has only been delivered personally to Congress by the reigning executives on rare occasions, was heard by millions.
 If it was political move the radio mo- guls chose not to consider it such and have no sympathy for frenzied republicans who have since been berating them and de- manding equal time on the air to refute the Presidents remarks. And now they have probably jared the gop. chieftain's sensibilities still further by their failure to throw open the air waves to republican propaganda, which was to be dramatized to show purported failure of New Deal leg islation. Thank goodness, we'll be spared lot of unnecessary arguing back and forth over the air waves until next June. Ditto, echo million radio listeners.

Closed Meetings Of State Boards
HARTFORD COURANT

meeting without publicity, although 1t would be of great educational value to the towns and cities of the state to learn how and why policies are laid by this council and by the commissioner. In every case, when there must be discussion of person. mel, 1t is readily understood that an executive session might be advis- able, but this exception does not ale ter the larger need for direct report ing of the rest of the business of the board.
 The special commission, now studying the reorganization of the departments of the state govern ment, should certainly go into the question of public board meetings and, if the principle meets with it's approval, should recommend 1t as an essential part of its program. Pending time for legislative action on this program, all the state boards, as well as the board of edu- cation, might well give considera- ton to the benefits to be gained by opening their meetings. In the opin- ion of many members of the press. there is no better way for any pulp lie board to get complete, impartial and readable accounts of their prob- lems to the people than that of transacting public business In pub- lie. The fundamental reason why the people should have such infor- nation is that, in the words of Lord Bryce, Popular government rests on the principle that it is every citi- zen's business to see that the c0ni- munity is well governed"

Faces to Order

No longer need people go through life with "the face God gave them" It seems that, with the advance in plastic surgery faces can be rebuilt like the facade of house or store. Some of the plastic sur geons are telling the world about 1t. An advertisement observed in a metropon- tan paper reads: "NoSes changed in one visit. Rebuilt to match the contour of your face Quick, painless, safe and per, manent, without scars. Wrinkles ana sagginess replaced by smooth, youthful contour. Wrinkled and puffy eyes rejuve:- mated. Large ears remodeled and set back. Scars, moles, varicose veins removed"
 It sounds wonderful. Especially the design for remodelling and setting back ears that nature made unpleasantly prominent. And there is no question that experts surgeons, working with great skill and care, can do things like these, though hardly so painlessly, pleasantly and quickly as patients might hope. It is only right, however, to pass on word of warn ing. It is well to consult ones family physician about this sort of thing. It is very delicate business. A patient might be so made over as not to be recognizable to his friends. And with careless handling the results might be very painful and regrettable.
