Motor Bloodshed

Spring is here! And to millions of us, the lure Of the
open road will soon become irresistible. Then off we'll
go, for fishing trips, picnics, sightseeing drives.
Last year, $4,000 bloody corpses dotted the streets
and highways of the United States. This year, if the ten
per cent of drivers who cause 80 per cent of the accid-
ents aren't curbed, the record will be worse.
Do you belong to that 10 per cent? You'll undoubt-
eddy say you don't-its a rare driver who will admit to
carelessness or recklessness or Incompetence. And here's
hoping you really don't. But it won't do you any harm to
think over your driving practices.
Do you ever pass on curves or hills? If so, you have
been guilty of an act that has caused thousands of fatal
tiles and millions of injuries.
Do you ever drive on the wrong sid of the road, OF
weave in and out of traffic, impatient to save a few min
utes to be spent later telling your friends what a hot
shot driver you are? If SO, you are a pot initial killer.
Do you regard speed restrictions al something for
the other felow-who, naturally, isn't in your class as a
driver-to obey, and for you to break at will? Excessive
speed is the principal single cause of nc or bloodshed.
Do you drink and drive? Alcohol and gasoline mix
into a fuel that has taken a legion of people on the long
est journey Of ALTO the Great Beyond.
Do you put off repairs to your car until a tomorrow
that may never come? Bad brakes, defective lights, un-
certain steering are friends of the casket maker.
Spring is here-make sure that it isn't the last
Spring you'll enjoy on this earth.

The Nations Arm to Fight

The nations of the world continue to arm themselves
at a feverish rate. This is true of each one of the seven
leading powers, including the United States.
Some idea of what is going on can be secured by
comparing armed plane strength in 1895 with expected
strength by the first of next year. The seven leading
powers had 1850 armed planes last year but will in
crease this total to 22,4M by next January. Moreover,
further gains are planned for the following years. For
example, in the total given for next year the United
States is credited with 2200 planes, whereas there is
talk in Congress of providing the Army alone with 1900
over a ~fve-year period.
Peace-loving citizens of Sheridan county might as
well understand that increasing armies, navies, and air
corps indicates war ahead, The world situation is dam
gerous because of uncertainty regarding the intentions
of several powerful nations. The threat cannot be met by
passing resolutions, organizing peace parades, and stag
ing strikes against war; nor can it be avoided, in our
opinion, by the surrender of national or international
rights.
The prospect for peace is not encouraging. While a
majority Of the people of the world are against war, it
may be taken for granted that nationalistic feeling will
cause them to support their government in international
attitudes, and, if the test comes, in warfare.
We doubt if the United States, with its peace-loving
iself from the world peril. Whether the nations of the
world, acting in concert, are able to cope with the men
ace remains to be tested. The League of Nations. as now
operated and without the support Of powerful nations,
has not been successful but its failure does not preclude
the success OF a stronger organization in the future.

Guard Against Envy

Nothing kills a town or city quicker than a spirit of
envy, regardless of how it works. AS long as the people
OF a community are striving to keep ahead of others,
with no other goal in view, then that long will the set
tlement remain a hick village, even if it has people by
the thousands.
Fortunately, Plentywood is singularly free from an
excess Of mean-spirited envy, the low-down spite of
narrow minded souls. Once in a while one runs across
a petty exhibition of disgusting ~selfshness expressing its
discomfort by striking at neighbor or at home. Luckily,
most of the time, our people are b~road-minded, liberal
and unselish.
1t will do us no harm, however, as citizens of Plen-
tywood to guard against this insidious poison that saps
community good will. Let us be sure that we hail the
good fortune of our friends, that we strive for the COM
mon betterment of our citizenship and that whatever we
may have, or be, we are not embittered by our failure,
or anothers success.

people who are conscious Of
themselves will prove to have acting

made today by ]. A. Hatalay, man
aging director Of the New England
School Of Dramatic Arts.
Mr.. Hatalay went on TO say that
he has noticed that people who stop
to look at their reflections In store
windows and then straighten their
ties or tip their hats to more be-
coming angle are the best material
for prospective actors and actresses.

said, lis that the first requisite for
q good actor or actress Is conscious
ness Of yourself without self-con-
seriousness"
Not Cancelled
"This does not mean that o per-
son need be conceited to be q good

between consciousness Of yourself
and conceit. Consciousness means
being conscious Of your bad points

doing your best to overcome these

I feel that consciousness Of your
self, your good points, your bad
points is the first step In becoming
q good actor"
Miss Margaret Powers, studio d.
rector Of the New England School
Of Dramatic Arts which has opened
Its first annex in Waterbury, In fur
ther discussing Mr.. Hatalay's theory
said, I'VE shall be on the lookout
for boys and girls on the streets OF
Waterbury who seem to have this
consciousness Of themselves. In
looking for students In Waterbury
we feel that we are bringing to the
town the best In faculties obtain
able. It has long been the custom
for talented people from towns out
Of New York to 60 to New York
City for their dramatic training. In
stead of this we have brought the
mountain to Mohainmed In bringing
the New England School Of Ora
matte Arts first annex to Water
buy, ct Prospect and Grove streets. u
Directors Here
According to the plans Of the
newly formed nation dramatic
school, there Is no longer q need
for out-of-towners to journey To
Broadway for dramatic, singing OF
dancing instruction. The finest
faculty to bc found anywheres has
been assembled by Mr.. Hatalay and
Miss Powers to teach out-of-towners
In all branches Of dramatic arts
right III their own backyard.
Therefore, according to the New
England School Of Dramatic Arts
head, II you are the type person
who is always looking In the mirror
or II you always stralghten your
tie before going into someone's Of
fee or home, or In other words, II
you have q consciousness Of your
self, the chances are with proper
training you can become q good
actor or actress.
~ New Members
Il Is further announced by Mr..
Hatalay that two more noted per-
sonalities have been added to the

In regard to the manner In which

ough investigation of all employees
listed as non-relief, the ultimate
object being q curtailment Of the
number Of these persons so that
their places may be filled by those
now on relief roles who are not
working. @
Number Unknown
The actual number Of non.relief
employees In the city Is not exactly
known, but II one out Of every ten
workers is listed as o non-relief
case, as prescribed by the WPA
regulations, there are probably
some eighty persons whoses financial
status and the like will be looked
into by the authorities.
Another item in connection with
the local WpA set-up, one which
has been more or less in the offing
for the past two or three months,
has had to do with general cur
tailment. Some flve months ago 1t
was more or less obvious that an
attempt was being made through
out the state and other states, to
cut down on the activities Of the
WPA. At the present time, with
private employment showing an up
ward swing, 1t seems apparent that
before many months have passed,
there will probably be q sizeable
reduction In regard to the workers
In all cities.
No Instructions
AS yet, however, there has been
no definite word received here In
waterbury as to the exact nature
Of the procedure. It Is believed,
however, that within the next few
weeks there will be some tangible
evidence Of both the investigation

she boasts q vocabulary Of 1872

The 24-year-old mothers pride
in her daughters accomplishments
appears to be justified by the opin-

scribed Patricia Joan'S mastery Of
the language ct so early an age as
quite unusual"
Ten or eleven months is con-
sidered the usual age for children
to begin to talk with any clarity.
At 8 months Patricia Joan peered
