Random Notes

The shrieking of the siren brought thou
sands of people into Queen Cross Street
yesterday.
A woman was cooking in the top story
of No. 8 Qneen Gross Street. The fire
caught the side of the house and soon reach
ed the ceiling. Persons on the street saw
the smoke, rushed into the house and by
quick work and sufficient water put out
the fire. Truck, automobile and ON
nibus rushed through the crowds as if
driven by mad men, The trucks can aid in
carrying water the automobiles may con-
vey persons connected with the Fire De
partment and the Police, but why the bus
should tear its way through street packed
with people just to park near the scene of
the fire we do not understand. An om-
nibus parked near the scene of
fire serves only as an obstruction. When bus
drivers are going to see fire they should
park their machines elsewhere.
z The District Court was in session yester
day.
Among the cases tried were the People
against William Petersen known as willie
Devil" He was accused of stealing barbed
wire from RI. Merwin & Cos warehouse.
He was found not guilty by the jury.

charge and also acquitted.
Alphonso Mulligan stole goat, was
found guilty and sentenced to 10 years.
The Angelica Church was packed yester-
day morning hen memorial service for
King George nf England was held.
AS the organ began to play, members of
the Colonial Council led by the Chairman,
d. c.. Canegata entered the Church.
The British Consul, MrNiles Merwinwas
there in his consular uniform. Mr.. Boyd

Business is losing its power and
that power and that power will

This nation has always been
capitaliStic. 1t still is. Although
we are a democratic nation, and
under our government, the power

have permitted capitalism to have

real authority to drift into the

have let Big Business become so
strong that it could control con-

boards.
But Big Business mas betrayed

MAYOR FIoRELLo LA GUAR
~ Ola of New. York, who was
in Washington with other mayors
to protest large reductions in
WPA rolls, is working for a con-
stitutional amendment and says
the problem Of wording it is SIM
pie. He says he has found much
support for one which would read
like this:
Congress shall have power to
regulate commerce, industry, la
Dor, and agriculture"
The most important thing, La
Guardia says, is to straighten out
the commerce clause complication
in the Constitution so industry
and agriculture will be accepted
as national, not local.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE MoRMoNs OFF THE DOLE

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
commonly called the Norman church, looks after
Its own. 1t supplies an object lesson with respect
to federal relief The story is told in the New
York Times.
Last April the church leaders launched church
security program designed to remove all Mormons
off relief rolls of governmental agencies The ba-
sic idea is that no member Of the Mormon church
should accept 'pay without work" and that means
should be found to help people to help them
selves" ".., .,s.
recent survey by the Mormon leaders shows
that their program has succeeded. About $4,000
persons have been removed from relief rolls and
81 of the church's III Stakes, administrative
units, have announced they are prepared to care
for all their own members without aid. In addi-
ton, more than 900 have been placed in private
industrial employment.
Distribution of food from weIl-illed central store
houses - 100000 items of canned food S2,SOS
pounds of -four, 1850 pounds Of meat are among
the entries-s under way. Much of the food was
raised or prepared, by the needy who take 1t from
the storehouses They cultivated fields leased OF
donated for the purpose. Women operated canning
factories on large scale.
More than $50 work projects include centers LOT
reconditionng clothing, bedding. furniture and
other necessities the operation of stores and ware
houses and the repairing of church buildings and
homes. In short, the Mormon leaders have found
work for idle hands to do.
Payment is made IN the form of non-transferable
certificates stating the amount Of the voluntary
service performed, but placing specific value
upon it. The holder of certificate takes it to
| the designated church authority and receives the
| food, fuel and clothing needed for family support
Payment IS made on the basis of need rather than
the amount Of services rendered and a single man
1 with no dependents receives only enough for his
] personal needs while the man with a large family
is given enough for all.
What the Mormons have DONE other groups can
4 do. The Mormons choose not to be wards of the
federal government but to maintain themselves by
their own efforts. 1t is interesting performance
] in a time when so many American citizens seem
to believe that Washington should support them.
The Mormans feeding themselves, but they
must continue to pay taxes for the maintenance
1 Of Americans who still on relief.
4 The Mormons have been willing to get down to
1 hard manual labor in order to subsist. They are
earning their bread by the sweat of their brows.
i The same thing can be done by Americans not of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
In South Carolina, for instance, are fields which
await attention. They would produce more plenti.

"new happened when the

graph Co., as a result Of "infor-
NAL conferences" with govern

long distance rates so as to save

year.
Traditionally, the way to get a
telephone company to cut rates is
for commission to order reduc-
ton, whereupon the company goes
into the courts with the complaint
that it is being ruined. The pub
lie pays, the, bill on both sides for
years Of expensive litigation
which may eor may not end with
rate cut,
Telephone rate cases have
dragged out anywhere from five
10 II years. The big Illinois Bell
Telephone rate case was in the
courts nine years before the SUI
preme court finally said the COM
pany would have to cut its
charges.
Under a new technique super
vised by Federal Communications
Commissioner Paul Walker, boss
of the continuing FEC investiga-
ton OF the A. T. & T., the gov
ernnent and the telephone COM
pany sat down at conference
table and finally reached agree
ment on the extent to which long
distance rates should come down.
The telephone company now
says the reduction is greater than
it ought to be and the govern
nent says it is too small, but the
big fact is that long distance calls
will be cheaper after Jan. Is.

RESCUED M
AMoLE:

THE Turkish tribe was captive
= in a valley in northern Cau-
.asia, many centuries ago, and no
way could be found for escape. A
blacksmith of the tribe, one day,
wandered away and was accosted
by a gray wolf.
That wolf became the saviour
Of the Turks, and to this day is
almost worshiped by them. He is
"Boscourt," which means "gray
WOLF"
He led the blacksmith to a mar
row opening in the mountains,
through which later the Turks
were able to flee. The blacksmith,
also, became the idol Of his peo-
pie, for he widened the pass to
freedom.
For many years thereafter, the
people of Erghene Kon, where the
original Turks had been captive
celebrated this strange rescue
with an annual festival. A stamp
issued in 1926 and 1929 pictures
both "Boscourt," the wolf ma ~.

until they had settled for damage to the corn, she said.
 Tn the argument which followed Mrs. Nearing claimed, Vinkas grasped her roughly by the arm and shook her. She showed the court several bruises on her arm. Vinkas denied treating the woman roughly, and asserted that he had only tried to defend himself when she threat ened him with hoe handle.
 Delving into the statutes, Prose- cutor Mitchell Meyers and Judge Mascolo found that in Connecticut persons upon whose property ani- mals treSpasS, may impound the beasts until the owners settle for the amount of damage. In answer to @ query by the court, Mrs. Near- ing declared the COW had caused damages "all together Amounting to about $5.

a The ramltications of Q simple breach of peace case in city court today provided court authorities with one of the most puzzling prob- leSns of the current year, involving before its conclusion, statutes gov- erning the trespass of animals on private property, the amount of damages allowed the plaintiff in such instances and the plaintiffs right to iInpound the animal.
 Charges of breach of peace were lodged against Otto Mattson, 62, of 336 Yale street, Waterville, and John Vinkas, 20, of 9hefleld street, as the result of an altercation yester- day which began when Vinkas' COW strayed into Q cornneld owned by MT. and Mrs. Edward Nearing of 445 Boyden street, Waterville.
 Mrs. Nearing told the court that the animal had broken out of its pasture and into the corn on sev- eral previous occasions, and that when 1t occurred again yesterday, she had 1t locked in the Nearing barn. When Vinkas and Mattson, the latter the owner of the pasture in which the COW grazed, arrived yestreday afternoon to claim 1t she refused to permit them to remove 1t
