Community Gossip.

4 FTER you have heard something
= from two or three persons, you
get the impression that it is known to
every one. Your attitude is they"
are saying it. No matter If the say

were sayers, differences mean moth

If you carefully study your own at
titude toward the next thing every
body" Is talking about you will be
pretty likely to discover something
about the mass mind.
You may not place much conf

but let two tell it and you begin to
take notice. Let third tell 1t and it
sounds like truth. Let fourth tell 1t
and you treat it as fact. So it comes
that four persons, equally unreliable
and really uninformed, may establish
community attitude which goes for
the absolute truth about situations.
Numbers maximize any story by the

Principal prop6 6sed changes follow:
Reduction of the employer-employe

6 per cent in II years to 4 per cent in

Sunday, September l9th. has been designated by Most Rev. ' Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of the Hartford diocese, as "a special day of Thanksgiving" to commem- crate the l50th anniversary of the formation and ratification Of the Constitution.
 "A mass of Thanksgiving will be offered and sermons suitable to the day will be preached in all parish churches of the diocese by direction of Bishop McAuliffe. The services will task His bless ing upon our country" in the spirit of thanks to God for the ] Constitution which protects man | against the usurper, the dictator and the invader of his God-given rights" according to the letter of Bishop McAuliffe.
 The episcopal letter extols the Constitution as glorious heri- tage," and "a benign and humane document reaching mans inner most being, expressing and guar arteelng his yearning for liberty and justice" It points to the benefits that have accrued to the country because of the Constitu- tion and to the Catholic Church of America, particularly today, when we see human rights trampled upon, liberty loving peo- pies enslaved and the rule of the despot the order of the day"
 The text of the letter Is as fol- lows:

Man On The Street"
Interviewing Scribe, Politically Minded, Talks to Fusionists, Hyphenated Democrats Democrats -Culhane Replaced Landon as Republican
 Standard Bearer.

It is not often that you find the man. -on- -the-street showing week. day interest in politics. But all that Is changed around election time, the inquiring reporter from The Democrat discovered today,
 There was little group of men assembled outside the fine build ing on Grand street where, among others, Mayor Frank Hayes, the Acknowledgements of Connecti- cut, has his office.
 "Ah. a group of Republicans looking over the layout" thought the reporter. Must be they're choosing their offices for the two- year term which starts after the October election. Or perhaps they are in conference about the rumor that there won't be room for them when the Independent Democrats get there. When, and If, of course"
 But the guess was wrong, For, a minute later, the group broke up and three members went into City Hall where they're giving lessons In the mechanics of the voting machine this week. You pull lever over, mark your ticket eliminate the man who holds the mortgage on the farm and pull the lever back, Presto! You have voted.
 The three stood around observ- ing the women, children and new voters at their lessons. ".s
 Nov, If you want to vote the Republican ticket, you pull this lever" the teacher was saying.
 "The lever" pointed to list of names headed by that of someone named Landon and was just below the list of names, straight across, which was led by Roosevelt.
 Well, suppose didn't want to vote for Landon, could l vote for the rest of the ticket2" woman asked. She was told that she could. You press a gadget and Landon Is scratched" in man. ner of speaking.
 Funny thing about the voting machine" one of the three ob- servers remarked. Around town I find that numbers of voters are of the opinion that MT. Culhane is a Democrat. With his name heading the Republican ticket, 1t looks like some confusion, come voting time."
 You're telling me-" responded a second observer Why, voters in Waterbury are so accustomed to pulling the top lever that 1t ap- pears like the Democrats will have a majority inside of the first few hours of voting. And about Culhane-did you see where J. Warren Upson accused the Demo- crats of trying to disrupt the Republican vote by spreading ruinors and what Chairman Crary replied, alluding to the so-called Republican ticket this year?"
 "Sure. Crary said that Upson had done the job of disrupting himself when the ticket was formed" was the answer. That was 1t, wasn't it2"
 Well, it's going to be tough on the voters who want to attempt discrimination this year." said the third man. If they vote the so- called Republican ticket, per the machines, they'll be voting for so- called Democrats. And If they want to vote only for Republicans, they'll have to spend at least ten minutes trying to find some on their ticket. You push this gad- get, ." .

 The concensu9 seemed to be that a Republican ticket would be hard to find, come October 5. Of course, the man-on -the-street who generally votes the Republican ticket, will be more concerned with the doings of MT. Hamilton, when the local election is held, ac. cording to general comment.

That, local Republicans of the left wing arc agreed, would be nice ges- ture towards their Fusion set-up, always providing that such win be the situation later in the cen. tury. "

 Bet you don't find one Inde- pendent Democrat" offered one of the pals.
 Well, 1t will be something when they put Mir. Culhane's name where MT. Landon's Is located now on the machine" said the third observer. "A rose by any other name becomes @ Republican by label, so to speak" '
 Think you're funny, don't you? I happen to know that Culhane Is a good Democrat but In a tough spot" said the first Republican. Gle may have been Q Republican, at that.)
 "Oh, take 1t easy" said the first observer, "You'll find no callouses from voting on Republican thumbs this year."
