fer a place to spend refreshing eve
ming, after the trying day, with some
thing going on in the form of enter
tainment. That this entertainment"
is the same type of music heard dur
ing the formal concert season doesn't
matter so much. when there is natures
lovely setting as background. And be-
fore the scoffer can remember his dis
like of all music except that which
glorifies rhythm and melody. the quiet,
yet powerful voice of the worlds great
est music has stolen into the con-
sciousness Of the listener and gathered
another adherent to the cause.
THIS is as it should be. In general,
we are too much inclined to over
emphasize the difficulty and pro-
fundity of great music, to surround it
with halo that only the initiated
can appreciate and to stress the
necessity of a musical education in
order to have proper understanding
of it. This manner of procedure de-
feats the aim of music, which is to
stimulate and uplift through the
harmony of sound expressing the finer
vision and thoughts of specially en-
dowed minds. Technique is man
made, but melody and harmony are
a divine gift. The two must be COM
bined if music is to expand its ex-
pressiveness, but it is the divine
element, and not the human, which
can reach all types of intellect or de-
grees of education
One cannot get away from the fact
that during the Winter season it is
the expert in performance and inter-
probation that comes to the fore. 1t
is almost impossible to put aside the
consideration of the technical equip
ment of the purveyors of music in
favor of the music itself. But in the
Summertime. in union with the beauty
with which the earth is embellished,
the substance of music takes prece-
dence over every other consideration.
In some mysterious fashion all bar
rierS toward understanding are de-
stroyed and, without being able to
explain how or why, the unmusical
listener has received a message, has
sensed a communion and has received
a benefit.
The result is the giving way Of
antagonism and an astoniShment that
there is to be found a simplicity in

Portable circumstances, was what the

promises the same regard for excel

city has become accustomed.
It is of great psychological value to
remove the performance of serious
programs from the formallty OF a regu-
lar concert hall. When placed in an
environment where nature in all its
beauty triumphs, music comes into its
own. Its appropriateness. in conJunc-

stimulation of balmy breezes. is ap-

sclearer than words can express.

I citizens would certainly have had to place themselves in the same category as those people in Wash ington who have never visited some of the national capitals famous buildings. If the village is pre- served they will certainly be getting 8 better "break" than they deserve.
 Ones of the foremost supporters of any move to preserve the village is Frederick s. Chase, who states that the village is an excellent and a unique monument and that it should be by all means kept for fu- ture use.
 In regard to the educational plan that has been offered, Superintend- ent of Schools Thomas J. Condon has also said that he would be in favor of seeing it preserved as a museum for the benefit of members of history and geography classes in the local schools.
 One of the most interesting angles to the situation is the financial angle. It has been pointed out that if the village Is preserved, the up- keep will involve very little money. No more money is needed for build- ings at the present and the main- tenance, which would probably in- volve a caretaker, would be very small.

 Chairman Smith concluded by stating that the republicans have said so much so far in their cam- paign speeches that they are now forced to repeat their charges. They have used up all their criticisms, he said, and are now experiencing dif- f1culty in offering any program as constructive as that followed out by the democrats under the leadership of President Roosevelt. Governor Ali Landon, the g.o.p. presidential candidate, is now copying the pro- gram and the statements of Presi- dent Roosevelt, he said.

Removal of Liens Com plicates Immediate Pay.
 ment of $6,OOO Verdict

Attorney U. c. Church re- ported in superior court to- day that the West Side Hill Methodist Episcopal church is ready to meet a judgment of $6,000 in favor of a num- Der of Sub-contractorS em- ployed in the erection of the structure. He added, how ever, that the board of truS- tees would turn over the money only when mechanics liens held on the property were released.
 After more than an hour of dis cussion before Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan, it was agreed that the board of trustees shall turn over to the receivers, Attorney Michael Galullo and Theodore Meyer, sum in excess of $2,O0O. This, with $500 held under attachment by the receiver, will be sufficient to meet the judgment. The money will be held by the reciver until he receives assurances from all the sub-contractors that they will re- lease their liens on the church property. If all make such assur- ance, the money will be paid. If one or more refuse, the case will go back to superior court.
 The $6,000 judgment inclue a fee of $500 to the receiver, and similar amount to the receivers counsel. The sum of 5000 will remain to be distributed to the claimants on a proportionate basis.
 The case has been in the courts for several years. The $6,000 judg- ment was entered last spring by Judge Edwin c. Dickenson, in ac- cordance with a recommendation of State Referee Frederick M. Peasley, before whom several hearings were held.

DEMOCRATS LOSE
 OUT IN FIGHT

Boston, Oct. 2.-.UP)-The demo- cratic state committee today lost its fight to keep the names of Union party candidates off the November ballot in Massachusetts.
 Justice Stanley E. Qua of state supreme court, after a hearinf. today dismissed the petition of Chairman Joseph McGrath of the democratic state committee to restrain the secretary of state from printing the ballots until the validity of sigma lures on Union party nomination papers had been established.
 The paramount issue, Justice Qua declared in a long opinion, was to get the ballots printed, a task which already has been started. ' One of the Union party candidates benef1tting by the dismissal was Thomas c. O'Brien, seeking both the vice-presidency as William Lem ke's running-mate and the U. s. senatorship.

Predicts Democratic
 Victory In November
State Chairman Smith Optimistic Over Party's Suc-
 cess-Claims C. 0. P. Bankrupt for Arguments

Predicting the biggest presidential vote in the history of the United States this November, Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith asserted this noon, at meeting of the Hayes for Lieutenant-G Cover nor Club" in the City Hall, that Connecticut will be carried by the democrats "in good shape" Today's meeting was attended by large number of leading party chieftains and it was freely admitted that Mayor Hayes would again run ahead of the entire state ticket in the poll ing on November 3rd, just as he did two years ago.
 Kelly Presides
 Financial and personal assistance in the campaign to put over Water bury's chief executive as lieutenant governor of the Constitution State was pledged at this noon's session which was called to order by Thomas P. Kelly, secretary of the club, in the absence of Controller Daniel J. Leary who was out of town.
 A pickup of between 5000 and 10000 votes in Bridgeport for the democratic ticket was predicted by State Chairman Smith as he point ed to the possibility of another statewide, sweeping victory by the party candidates. He stressed the fact that one of the major prob- lems right now is to get in the

 The short history of the firm since its establishment was given by Daniel T. Driscoll and Law renee St. Louis, proprietors, both of whom asserted that they expected to continue the same service which has already been responsible for the establishment of a large trade and pleasant community associa- tion. It was explained that since the firms becoming established on Meadow street only two years ago, it has been necessary to obtain ad- joining quarters to accommodate customers whose number increased with surprising volume.
 In addition to the talks given during the evening, those in attend ahce enjoyed entertainment and re- freshemnts during the social that followed.

 Several Suggestions for Future Management

Since the Democrat first support d suggestions in connection with &le preservation of Settlers Village in an article last Saturday, there have been many varied comments on what might be done. Most of the suggestions offered by heads of various racial committees in the International Straw Vote" con- Sucted by the Democrat two days ago were for the preservation of the local contribution to the Connecti- cut Tercentenary celebration in 1935 by some workable plan.
 Educational Project
 At the present time, what with all Interested parties planning to meet end discuss the prospect of keeping the village intact, and with several leading citizens considering ideas in connection with using the village As an educational exhibit for man. ual training pupils in the public schools, very ironic point has been tnomentarily overlooked.
 From good authority the Demo- crat has learned that more than two.thirds of the people in this city have failed to take advantage of an opportunity to visit a spot which has drawn people from all parts of the state. It has been said that a prophet is never heard in his own country and that the far off hills are green. The two old adages cer- tAinly apply to Waterbury citizens who have failed to take advantage of the opportunity to visit the vil- 9age.
 Another Chance
 But local people seem to be in line X For . second chance. Now that all groups are expressing themselves in favor of working to keep the vile lage, it looks as if these thousands of people who have not been inside the village gates will be able to do 90.
 Breaking up this two-thirds of the population into two groups, it is probably true that half of them would never visit the spot under any circumstances. But there are still about 5000 people who have probably meant to visit the village but who have never gotten around to M" If the original plan of clos- ing the village permanently had not brought about a movement to pre- serve 1t, these more or less apathetic

Final Flight

A carrier pigeon which died de- spite the ministrations of Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis, rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, lies buried to- day behind the parish house. Spent and fatigued, the bird f1ut- tered down on the church lawn yesterday, and Dr. Lewis brought it inside to the warmth of the parish house, where he attempted to feed it.
 The pigeon died, however. On its legs were three metal bands, and Dr. Lewis said the bird had apparently been in the air for a long time before it succumbed to exhaustion.
