Tenants Too Good

The State Housing Board responsible for model housing projects built in New York with federal aid has a curious problem on it's hands. These model tene- mentS have been filling up not with the factory workers and laborerS for whom they were intended, but with business men, lawyers, teachers and other middle class folk able to pay higher rent.
 So it has been necessary to put up barrier against tenants who would ord inarily be considered desirable. The management will discriminate against those having incomes more than five times the rental asked. Thus it will frankly prefer the poorer risks to the bet ter risks.
 This policy is obviously crazy from straight business standpoint But not so crazy from social standpoint. The low CT income families need better housing than now exists for them in most cities. They could have it, at prices they can af- ford, without government subsidy if the present log-jam in the building industry were once broken.
 New ideas, present-Gay knowledge and processes, a sensible combination of fac- tofy-pro6uctsSn and individual work manship. ought to produce better homes than most of our working people have

Selected Poem

IN MAY
 (Carol M. Ritchie in the Poets Corner,
 Hartford Times) The orchards on these northern upland slopes Are rose against periwnkle sky, The wild plum and the cherry petals blow In white profusion when the wind goes by. And mingled with the apple blossom scent So delicate on every passing breeze, The bitter smell of wilding bloom is blent, The opening buds of all The wayside trees. The bob-o-links fit in and out the shade And whistle softly in their throaty flutes, Persistent robins quarrel in the glade. And hidden thrushes tinkle fairy lutes. O. sweet are Northern Country hills today With singing birds and perfumes of the MayI

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-07

That I'm not in love with you?" Bill helped himself to the corned beef before continuing. Lots of reasons" he said. For one thing, if I were in love with you we wouldn't be here. Instead, I'd be taking you some place I can't af- ford, trying to make an impress sion. Or else I'd be trying to figure out way to take you such places. And we wouldn't be having fun, either. People who are in love never do. They're always incoming around or else having fights"

 Sure, I do." He paused, then went on, grinning, From observa- tion - and maybe, well, maybe a little from experience. But none of that stuff for me!

Let's keep them just the way they are. Always. We won't either of us fall in love; we'll just go on = having a good time"

CHAPTER HI

It was a side street down which Toby Ryan made her way = a street brightly enough lighted, but away from the noise and glare of the avenue. She walked quickly. Halfway down the block there was drug store; Toby turned and went inside.
 The boy behind the soda counter looked up at her, but Toby passed him without a glance.
 She went to the rear of the store and entered telephone booth.
 There was 8 thick directory, with battered pages open on the shelf. Toby turned the pages until she found the one she was looking for. At the top, in small black letters, was the name, "Finklewitz, L."
 Apparently 1t was not Mr. Finklc- witZ, his telephone number or street address that interested the girl. She glanced at neither. But there was something else on that page half sheet of paper on which, scrawled with heavy per- cil, were these words:
 Same time and same place. And please wear a pink geranium pinned to your left shoulder. My memory is. failing-Bill."
 There was nothing cryptic about the message to Toby Ryan. Same time" meant o'clock. Same place" was cafeteria few blocks distant. And Bill" could be mo- body else in the world but William R. Brandt.
 That nonsense about wearing a pink geraniuml Toby grinned, reading the message once more. There was always some foolishness in notes from Bill. It was one of the reasons she liked him. He was different from anyone she had ever known.
 Their system of exchanging mes sages, for instance, was one of Bills ideas. It had come about because Toby wasn't allowed to re- ceive telephone calls at the store. She and Bill had been walking past the little drug store one night, talk ing over this problem, when sud- denly Bill halted. Look" he said, 'in there. Here's how we'll do it."
 He had drawn her inside the drug store, pointing to the tele- phone booths. Then and there the scheme was born. There were two booths and they picked the one at tho right. It was agreed that when Bill had message for Toby he was to write it and slip it between the pages of the directory.
 Opening the book, Toby's eye had tighten on name at the top of the page. "Finklewitz", she said. Lets use this page. It will be easy to remember"
 The plan had worked well, too. Both Toby and Bill passed the drug store on their way to and from work each day. Wednesday evenings Toby always stopped to

had crisp, crinkly blue eyes, and she liked the way he wore his hat, the least bit back from his fore head, as though he had damned 1t on in hurry. He was tall-an inch or so under six feet-so that his square shoulders were not too broad. He was young man who might have played football Che had), but looked as though he would be better at basketball or tennis.
 The acquaintance between the two hadn't progressed beyond this point - in fact, it hadn't progressed at all. Toby left Jackson Heights after her aunt's death. She had tried a number of rooming places before she found the small third floor rear that was such a bargain. Toby had so many things to think about after that--looking for work, trying to save nickels and dimes, remembering that, no matter how disagreeable, "the customer is al- ways right"-she hadn't given a thought to Bill Brandt.
 And then one day as she was leaving Bergman's for a breath of air at her lunch hour, she sud- denly saw familiar pair of broad shoulders. The next moment she recognized them. It was the young man from Jackson Heights!
 Bill saw Toby, too, and hesitated. She had smiled and he had halted and presently they were talking. It was almost like meeting of old friends. Toby told him where she was living and few nights later he had telephoned.
 Toby enjoyed that evening. They went to movie and she learned considerable about Bill Brandt. He was "A years old, and he worked for an advertising firm. He'd done lot of other things-been news paper reporter, travelled for mag azine agency, spent a summer on a construction crew, even written short stories-which nobody bought. Toby thought 1t was fascinating, hearing about the things Bill had done. Some day, he told her, he was going to have an advertising agency of his own. Toby believed 1t.
 And so, for six or seven weeks now, they had been dining together on Wednesday nights, going to movies, riding on busses, walking along streets, of the great city where the language spoken all about them was foreign and it was easy to imagine oneself in a far-of coun- try. Grand times, they had been Riding, walking, talking-but most ly talking.
 This particular Wednesday, Toby and Bill met at the cafeteria and presently were seated at table with a red and white checked cover Toby told him about posing for the Beauty Bar" advertisement.
 Bill, breaking a roll, said, "So you're photographic model now That's swell! Some of /those girls make a lot of dough, you know"
 But told you" Toby objected, "it was only because the other girl sprained her ankle. I'm not at all sure they'll use the picture"
 Why not? Sure they will" The young man paused, studying her. Then he said, You're cute little

STATE

"The Ghost Goes West, starring Robert Donat with Jean Parker and Eugene Palette, also The Leather necks Have Landed" with Lew Ayres and Isabel Jewell, conclude their en- gagemerft at Warner Brothers State this evening. It's a grand show don't miss it.!
 A new candidate for Stardom rooms across the horizon in "The Farmer In the Dell", opening to- morrow at the State. He is Fred Stone, top notcher in vaudeville and on the musical comedy stage who was seen recently with Sylvia Sid ney and Fred MacMurray in "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" To- day he attains new heights as the hero of Phil Stong's great novel. Phil Stong, incidentally is the man who wrote State Fair" and who lives in Washington, Connecticut. In ''The Farmer in the Delr Fred Stone is cast as a kindly, lovable old farmer who is transplanted to Hollywood by stupid, provincial wife whose greatest ambition is to launch their daughter in a screen career. However, on a visit to a studio, he is high-pressured into a leading role at 5000 a week.
 Pa Boyer is q made to- order role for Stone and he shows himself as master of comedy and pathos. Esther Dale as Ma Boyer is ideally cast. Jean Parker and Frank AL bretson play the young lovers who are temporarily separated by fake Russian count.
 The action unfolds against back ground of an Iowa farm and nov ing picture studio.
 The companion feature will pre- sent the Great Karloff in UniVer- sals new super -shocker "The Walk ing Dead" This exciting story tells the tale of an electrocuted convict murderer who, after dying in the chair, is brought back to life by a scientist. How his whole character and mind changes and the things he attempts to do forms the plot for the most gripping and spine tingling screen fare seen in town for many months.
