Value of Cooperation

Much has been said pro and con about the value of such governmental agencies, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority and similar bodies. Their real worth to any section of a state, the state itself or the nation at large has been questioned, made the subject of court litigation, and in general pointed out as typical exam. pies of encroachment of federal govern Tnent upon the rights of the state or the community. All of which is debatable, to say the least. At least we can say that if some such agency, such as the federal government, had not taken the initiative, nothing would have been done.
 Any agency that sets out to make bet ter living conditions in definite section of the nation deserves every bit of aid that can be given 1t. It is the same no matter what river valley is given the chance to reclaim itself. In the Tennes- see River valley there was the danger of thousands losing their homes through lack of flood control Soil erosion was preventing thousands turning to the fer tile soil of the valley for a living. These two things will be corrected. In addition there is the accompanying creative ac- ton, namely, electric power produced by huge dams. We are not concerned with that right now.
 We are concerned with flood control, soil erosion, and one other problem. It is one that besets every river valley in Connecticut. It is stream pollution. If every community in every river valley in this state, and there aren't so many, would make as serious an effort to pre- vent their lands being washed away, car- ried away, and made unpleasant and un- profitable, as has Uncle Sam here and there great deal would be accomplished. But we lack the initiative to do this. And feigned importance. Individual effort must be fitted to its place in solving such problems as threaten our natural re- sources to-day.

A Thought for Today
Irving w. Harrison

In the history of Waterbury's Park Department, 1t has had only two super intendentS - George c. Walker and 1rv- ing w. Harrison, whose untimely death it is our sorrow to comment upon tonight. During the administration of MT. Walker the department was in it's infancy and embraced only such tasks or duties as were properly concerned with the acqul- sition of land for park purposes and US development. With the appointment Of MT. Harrison in 1923 the work of the Park Department started to spread out. Today it covers many fields of activity.
 Under his active supervision the Park Department offered to the public not merely a number of beauty spots, but places where every type of sport might be enjoyed amid the proper setting. To the outdoor recreations were added, also such things as municipally-maintained dance halls. Of recent years bowling green was constructed at Fulton Park. We well recall him several years ago visualizlng the day when Waterbury would have a series of parks that would all be inter- connected, yet separated by many miles.
 His talents were many and he was both accomplished and thorough 1n all of them. He was practical engineer III every sense of the word; he was an ex- pert'landscape gardener; he was familiar with plant life, particularly that of Con- necticut; he was painter Of much apll- ity as his many murals in the Hamilton Park dancetorium will testify. Losing such a man as this the city may well mourn his sudden departure from this life. He is well deserving of all that might be said of him. We know full well that It will be difficult to replace him.

Convention Prelude

It is reported by the press of the state that U. s. Attorney General Homer $. Cummings, Connecticut's contribution to the Roosevelt Cabinet, will come home Thursday of this week, day prior to his appearance at the spring convention as keynote speaker, in order to ease the tension caused by discord over selection of a national committeeman from this state. Opposition to the present incum- bent, Archibald McNeil, Jr., of Bridgeport has reached the point where the forces rallying behind Paul Connery of Norwalk are claiming safe majority of the con- vention delegates.
 It is with the intention of brushing aside any opposition to MT. McNeil that Attorney General Cummings is meeting with various democratic leaders Thurs day afternoon. At least we presume this is the cause of the conference. There is disposition on the part of many demo- crats to avoid any conflict, minor or major. This is due to the growing con- viction among democrats that Connec- ticut is going to be safe for democracy this fall. That there Is good reason to hold this belief, we think. can't be ques-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-13

tloned right now. All the signs and por- tents have changed. Ask the republican who owns one.
 We doubt if the Attorney General of the United States, however, can smooth out the differences over the national committeeman from this state. That s something that might well be threshed out on the floor of the convention without any lost of strength or prestige by the party, regardless of the outcome. Right now we are more interested in what the Honorable Homer s. Cummings will say to the assembled delegates Friday night. It took ex-Senator Hiram A. Bingham 30 minutes to keynote the g.op. conven- tion into state of speechlessness. Taking half that time we feel sure Attorney Gen. eral Cummings can bring the state to It's senses with ringing declarations and sound counsel.

Trained Seals

Seldom, if ever, when he breaches a subject, do we think James William FitzPatrick, political commentator and columnist for the Waterbury Democrat, leaves anything further to be said. How ever, in his reference last evening in his bi-weekly By Way of No Harm" column to the attitude of the the republican editors of Connecticut on MT. Farleys recent optimistic prophecies for Connec- ticut in the coming election, he regret tably omitted their greatest requisite namely, they could double for the finest set of trained seals Ringing or Barnum ever had the pleasure of presenting.
 Not over week ago the Waterbury Democrat suffered the infamy, If 1t can be taken as such, of being called Mayor Hayes "little dog" by one of the local representatives of the states mammal menagerie for approving the mayors stand as regards the Baldwin street bridge property price being asked by interested land owners. It fits in the same picture MT. FitzPatrick painted last night as regards Mir. Farleys predictions. No one knows anything but the little trained band of republican editor seals, who have been putting on the same act so long they think it's good.
 OuOrCuldCe1y 1Ol LllS llIGlS bLOuP UA warped-minded editors here in Connecti- nut things are happening throughout the length and breath of the country despite their seal-like squeals. Nothing turns out the way they predict; President Roosevelt is going to be reelected with or without Connecticut's help - more likely with - and after election the same little troupe of seals will go on with their word balancing act and get their little fish as reward, for that is about all seals really know. And that's why they are seals and nothing more Yet we suppose seals have to exist if for nothing more than to amuse the public.

The action of Bank Commissioner Wal ter Perry in asking court permission to sell certain stocks and bonds of two local closed banks is regarded by many as an indication that he is winding up the affairs of these banks as rapidly as possi- ble. Of course under the provisions of the Culhane closed bank bill, passed by the 1885 Legislature, that is one of two alternatives given the bank commissioner. The closed bank must be closed com pletely, by liquidating its assets or else opened up. There doesn't seem to be hope locally that the two banks con- cerned in the commissioners latest report will be opened now. This move by Com missioner Perry is about the most import ant he has taken since he assumed the receivership. If the court permits his request the stocks and bonds will be sold only when the market is favorable.

The announcement that the democra- tic party may revise its state rules at the convention this week in New Haven is believed to have its origin in the small towns and big cities. There is some dis cussion over caucuses and primaries. According to the present rules delegates are picked in towns directly, but in cities at conventions following primary. The dispute is over the fact that many dele- gations are selected after the deadline. Whether or not this will cause any dis ruption at the convention is doubtful. It's more or less a problem to be ironed out by the rules committee, which prob- ably will do SO to the satisfaction of all.

Selected Poem
A PLACE I KNEW

Leona Ames Hill in the Christian Science Monito I shall say of place knew,
 Where hills were folded into blue Against the east and south that there Buds of white hawthorn and of pear Were the soft color of new cream; That willows by pasture stream In slow March sun were golden fingered While the last drifts of winter fingered; That rows of apple trees were planted On windy farms where the fields slanted Toward the curved and lovely blad That a certain bend of river made. What towns were in those misted hills, What names those valleys bore where spills Forever the bright sun and the rain, have forgot. but not snow lain Across that country, fold on fold, Immaculate; not the dark gold
 Of those high wheat fields. I remember Hawthorn in May pears in September. Yellow as honey, and the sharp. sweet smell Of windfall apples: knew them well In that land when dark Ckies were ending The blackbirds south at summers ending.

A Book a Day
An English Gunman
 And a Blackmailer
(BY BRUCE CATION

There's plenty Of good, honest nelodraiia in Never in Vain," by J. L. Hardy Doubleday, Doran: $2.)
 Here we have a story about a young Englishman who emerges from the World War as Q pretty tough sort of nut. fIe had been the village bad boy, as Q lad, and the war made everything 10 times worse. So, looking restlessly for ex- citement after the armistice, he signed up to fight the Irish Repub- leans in Dublin and became one of those wild, lawless gunmen with whom Egland vainly tried to pre- serve the old order on the Emerald Isle.
 The didn't last forever. When it was over, the young man retired to the English countryside and be- came Q farmer. And there our story finds him.
 The young man is married, and happily SO; but the idol of his dreams, nevertheless, remains the upper-crusty lady from whom he rents his land. And when she falls into the clutches of Q villainous blackmailer, what more natural than that she should turn to her hard-boiIed tenant for aid? And what, in turn, more natural than that this ex-gunman should settle the blackmailer's hash by direct action2
 All this worked out with consld- erable skill. the old melOdramatic qualities of suspense and excite ment being admirably presented And because MT. Hardy slips q couple of good, old-fashioned ro- mances into his yarn, in addition the novel sums up to an hour oE so of light but entertaining reading
