INTO sour soup-stock of religious
L and racial hatred, stir mess of
high-sounding titles, blood-curdling
oaths and foolish regalias, and you've
got a mixture with an irresistible APP
peal to parties whose average hat size
is six and an eighth and whose souls
are aslosh in the bilge-water of big
otry. Presently they're adding miscel-
laneOus murder to their mummery, as
in Michigan, where sundry gallant
heroes seem about due to suffer pro-
longed attacks of short-haired pale
ness, which is disease brought on by
wearing a close haircut behind some
high stone walls.
They say such organized intolerance
epidemics come in waves, but did you
ever notice that we never have any of
these waves when America is at war?
Then nobody objects to putting Catho-
lies or Jews or negroes in the firing
line. Nobody questions their patriotism
or their fitness to defend the nations
flag, and, after awhile, peace comes,
and all of sudden lot of folks dis
cover that those of certain creeds and
certain color are unworthy to be
classed as citizens or even as human
beings.

IN high spots scheduled for the next
four weeks, the writer failed to men,
ton the Liberty League.
The Liberty League will not hold
convention, but will have tea on the Du
Pont lawn. There may be speeches
and perhaps snappy prayer by the
rector of the Church of SIS. Midas and
Croesus, but AL Smith will positively
not speak, having already learned the
bitter lesson that fellow can pick an
awfully bad spot to make an awfully
good speech in.
And as for trying to keep a brown
derby and a silk topper alternately
bouncing off single dome-well, in
the future, I predict, he'll leave that
sort of thing to professional jugglers.
Even so, Al Smith is better qualified
than some for wearing two hats at
once, having at least twice as many
brains as you'd find under the average
politicians headpiece.

HOLIDAY REIGN
 TOEND MONDAY
Christmas Season Con. cludes With Epiphany
 Feast

The Christmas season comes to a close Monday, the feast of the Ep- iphany, or Little Christmas. as 1t Is called. In some parts of the world Little Christmas is observed as sol- emnly as Christmas day. The day signifies the coming of the three wise men from the east, who follow ed the star and arrived at the stable in Bethlehem twelve days after Christmas bringing their precious gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
 Just who the three wise men were is legendary, but they have, through tradition, become known as Mel chior, Casper and Balthasar, of sup- posedly royal rank. Their gifts to the new born saviour founded a custom of gift giving that still holds, and which Is one of the most important and common of Christ mas customs.
 The Christmas season IS conceded to be finished on Little Christmas, and at this time such outward sym bols of the season, such as trees and other decorations, are taken down. The night of the twelfth day fol- lowing Christmas has also been known as Twelfth Night.

NEUTRALITY IS
 LIABLE TO PASS

Washington, Jan. 4-(UP)-Op. position to President Roosevelt's neutrality program melted rapidly today in the face of surprisingly drastic administration proposal to guarantee this nations peace in the event of another major war. The presidents suggestions, introduced simultaneously in the senate and house, went 50 far along the road t, rigid neutrality that even the most ardent isolationists hesitated to oppose 1t.
 Supporters of the leash and carry" plan advanced earlier by the senate munitions committee, after Q nasty conference. said the admin istration's proposal represents Q great advance of historic import anee." They insisted. however, the president should not Do given too much discretion in proclaimine arms embargoes.
 They plan to press tfor enact- ment of their original program. Chairman Key PittnnaSi of tne senate foreign relations committee. sponsor of the New Deal proposal lfi the senate. said there was nc reason why the iegislation could not ke pushed to Q vote next week.
 The optimism was not shared by senators who believed some changes must be made in the pfesidcnCa program.

To-day I bring 0 brief biogra. phy of Q neighbor who is unques- tionably a self-made man. Dudley Frank Beach, president and treasurer of the D. F. Beach Company, Incorporated. He affords Q striking example of the dignity of labor for he is Q gradu- ate of the high school of expe- rience.
 Dudley Branch Beach, son of Frank W. and Lillian tHeath) Beach, was born in Tryingham, 6 farming community of Massa. chusetts, October 22, 1882. {. Both his parents were born in the same little town and lived there All their lives and died there. His mothers death occurred 43 years ago, when he was but 10 years old. Ills dad died in 1901.
 Dudley attended classes in the little red school house in the vil- lage. Pupils in all the grades were taught in the same room. At IS he became a tiller of the soil and a general all-around farmer. He ploughed. planted and harvested side by side with his father. No chores were ever left undone. He stayed on the farm until he was ie, and then came to Woodbury, Con. nectlcut, where he worked in Q feed store until he became driver of the old combination mail and stage coach, the main method of travel between Woodbury and Southbury. It was Q rickety wheeled vehicle with springs that often fell down on the job Of easing the bumps for the pass engers. For three years he main. tained regular travel service de. spite small blizzards, heavy rains and dense fog. Many times the road was inundated with water reaching the hub of the wheels. But the mail went through, and, 0t course, Lne pabbenHeTb aS well.
 In 1904 MT. Beach went to Bridgeport as an inside salesman for the Cudahy Packing company. He served in this capacity for five years before coming here in 1909 to i'll Q similar position with the E. A. Pierpont Packing company, since extinct. :. {. After c year or so he formed c partnership with an acquaintance and operated Q wholesale meat concern in the western section of the city. This partnership dis- solved ct the end of three years and Mir. Beach accepted position with the local branch of Armour Ss Company. Five years later, or in 1918, he founded the present wholesale meat company bearing his name, with headquar- terg on gperry street.
 Mfr. Beach had become c bene- dict by this time and the father Of two children. Lloyd D, end

Elizabeth. Their mother died when they were quite young. Lloyd is now vice-president in his fathers concern, while Elizabeth is O saleslady in Q Hart. ford store.
 On July 18th, 1928, MT. Beach took unto himself a second wife, Ruth Rowell, of Woodbury. She had often been one of his pass- ergers on the stage coach he drove back in the old days. They live In their own home at 90 Newton terrace, in the Bunker Hill district.
 MT. Beach weighs l00 pounds and is five feet, six inches tall, with blue eyes and grayish hair. Ills early ambition was to be a salesman, but he had formed no choice as to the article Of commerce. He is very interest- cd in horse racing, yet rarely finds time to enjoy the sport of kings. His favorite food is roast beef, cup of coffee, and ice-cream for dessert. Ills hobby is to prepare and enjoy his food in the open. Outdoor pie nics are his speciality. He thoroughly enjoys a band concert and prefers this to all other nnu- sic. He likes to visit the theater. His faVorite actor was the late Will Rogers. Only yes- terday he purchased g book on the life of the deceased comedian. Major Bowes Is his favorite radio entertainer. Mir. Beach de- votes most of his reading time to newspapers and magazines. He wears glasses while reading and never reads in bed He requires about eight hours sleep. He is Q member of the Elks, Masons, Mems League of Bunker Hill and of the Bunker Hill Improvement Association. Mr. Beach has two broth CTS; Howard, of Winsted. and Roy, of Bristol. He had i've sisters, two of whom are dead. The remaining sisters are: Mrs. Lucy Johnson and Sylvia and Edith Beach,s all of Winsted.
 MT. Beach is especially proud of his two grandchildren, Joan, three years old, and Bonna, four months old, daughters of his son, Lloyd. He worships ct the Bunker Hill Congregational church.
 And that friends brings to an end my brief biography of an- other neighbor--Dudley Frank Beach--the type of neighbor we all admire.

Further evidence of the excellent financial standing of the City of Waterbury was shown last night when, ct Q special meeting of the board of aldermen, e900,000 in fund.- ing and street improvement bonds were sold at the most favorable in- terest rate in the history of the municipality. The successful bid- ders, who made Q joint offer, were tho R. r. Griggs company of this city, Halsey, Stuart and company, Goldman, Sachs and company and Darby and company.
 The seo0000 worth of bonds are divided as follows: Funding, e5O0,- OOO; street Improvement, e400, 900. The successful group of bidders of- fered to pay the city two and one. half per cent on the SSl0,000 of both Issues that runs from 1887 to i948 and two and three-quarters per cent on the $5o0,000 of both Issues that runs from 1929 to 1856. A premium of $i60, in addition, on the sobO,00O in bonds was also ir- ciuded in the bid, giving the city e total of $000,l60 for both issues.
 Interest Rates
 The aldern -n allowed the bidders to set their own interest rates, the understanding being that the bid- der demanding the lowest rate of interest would be awarded the bonds. Bidding for the issues was heavy. Tn fact, lore bids were re- ce.ved last night than in many Recently when the city made . temporary loan the interest charged was less than one-half of one per cent. Now come the bonds sold last night, calling for payment by the city of the lowest rate Of interest in the history of the municipality.
 One bidder, Brown, Hartman and company, protested against the awarding of the bonds to the sic- ccssful group.
