Serving Good Purpose

An organization was formally declared in existence this week at Hartford when interested persons got together and elected first officers of the Connecticut Antiquarian and Land mark Society, Inc. We don't believe that the socety's mem- bership will be overcroWded. It will, though, be quite sufficient to its own needs These are not many and are bound up primarily in insulting in the hearts and minds of Connecticut people a love and respect for Connecticut archi- lecture which distinguished 1t in the colonial days.
 It was called to the attention of those attending the organization session that every year an avarage of 100 old Connec- ticut dwellings are destroyed. If you pick up your favorite newspaper you'll likely read about such-and-such house being torn down to make way for bus mess or apartment block. Streets and highways account for many others in the course of a year And what is becom- ing more common today is the sight of old houses being torn down to save on tax bills. Many old dwellings, simply de- cay away through lack of attention
 The new organization is created to interest individuals and groups, perhaps even communities, in preserving such dwellings as worthy of it by some histori- cal or architectural value. We had the recent action of Henry Ford in saving New Haven house in which Noah Webster lived and worked. It was to be torn down, but MT. Ford intervened to save it. The Connecticut Antiquarian and Landmark Society, Inc, is not created to buy up the old houses in the state, so don't try to sell your ancestral dwelling to it.
 But 1t is formed in the spirit of irl- stilling in our hearts the necessary love

New Neutrality Law

It would be well to remember that among the important tasks facing the new Congress is the framing of water proof neutrality law.
 The existing law is great deal better than no law at all, but it is admittedly imperfect. It has served as stop-gap measure, but it needs to be replaced as speedily as possible by a well-reasoned, statesmanlike measure which will insure America, as far as any law can insure it, against involvment in foreign wars.
 Such law cannot be put together over-- night. The job demands long study and the best thought that can possibly be given to 1t.
 Since the European horizon seems to be growing steadily darker, and since pires in May, the sooner the responsible leaders at Washington begin preparing a new law, the more secure we can feel.

When you start reading the stuff" that the newspapers were printing some weeks before the election, you get a hearty laugh and often feeling of mys- tification as to what happened to all the promises and threats of early campaign days. Remember when there was a down-the-state movement to get the re- publicans to nominate a Greenwich manufacturer-Colby Mitchell Chester. That was just newspaper effort on the part of the Greenwich Press which cer- tainly fell far short of expectations. We don't even recall that the gentleman's name was mentioned at the g.o.p state convention. Certainly when States At torney Hugh M Alcorn couldn't get to first base" at this gathering how could Mir. Chester, even with Fairfield county newspaper backing, hope to procure a nomination? But like other things 1t was a case of MT. Chester evidently being the victim of well-meant planning on the part of friends. He probably couldn't have taken time off from his duties as chairman of the board of directors of the General Foods Corporation to run for governor

Now that ex-mayor Alfred N. Phillips, Jr of Stamford is on his way to Wash ington to sit with the 18th Congress we wonder what will happen to his five-cent trolley fare Last September he was quite aroused over the idea of promoting such fare rate in Stamford and then seeing it extend to the rest of the state, where the Connecticut company was op- erating trolley cars. But the Connecti- cut company is gone now and we have the C.. R. & L. company. And most of the trolleys are gone, but we still have the busses. Will the congressman-elect transfer his allegiance to five-cent bus fares?

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING DAY

Charles Hawke0 Long years ago in Plymouth town Her people met to pray. The watchnan in his tower looked down, And far across the Bay ship was coming from abroad With food they needed sore. They'd looked to sea and sought the Lord, They sought him OCT and OCT. Lord God Of Hosts, be with us still, Our empty bins and pantries fill." A while they stood within the church After that prayerful hour. A joyous cry their ears did reach, The watchman in his tower "A sail, q sail, she's heading in, She's coming to our shore" Amidst the shouts of joy and din Men fell upon the floor And thanked their Lord who nearest prayer, Who cares for all men everywhere. In opuience we meet this year, Our God has blessed the land, And gathered round the board of cheer, With bowed heads let Us stand Returning thanks for fruit and grain, For brotherhood and meat Thus worshiping tn heart and brain Before the Mercy-Seat The One who marks the sparrowS fall And cares for all men great and small. Amidst our blessings let us see That there Is food for all. The greatest grace is Charity
 That needs the suppliant call. The bird that pecks upon the sill Should share Thanksgiving Day. The horse and kline should have their fill No needy turned away. Thanksgiving Day from Sea tc Sea, In friendship love and charity.

HAPPY MILK FARMER!
(From New York Times)

One of the most extraordinary news items of recent date is the announcement that the milk farm CTS of the country took in more money during the first nine months of 1936 than for any similar period in the last five years. The sum was well over billion dollars, ac- cording to the Milk Industry Foun. dation. At that rate an amateur statistician would say the income for the whole year should be close to a billion and a half dollars.
 But the extraordinary feature of the story is not in the figures, but in the tone and spirit of the mes. sage. It reveals a buoyant and con- tented milk industry. The income js Rood the pastures arc doing fine.
