Yesterday afternoon we
dropped n t o Mrs. Walter
(Marie) Hayes for tea, and
there was Freddie, with all six
feet three comfortably settled
into the deepest cushioned chair
in the drawing room. But
what 1 am going to do before
dusk is to take about an hours
brisk walk" he informed us and
then settled deeper into the
chair.
He cannot remember when he
didn't long to be an actor, when
he was not making juvenile
faces and strutting about the
house in all kinds Of regalia and
yet not one member of his
family on either side had ever
been interested in the theater,
nor artistic in any sense Of the
word. And he admits with deep
sincerity that he would rather
be a painter or, better still, a
writer, than anything he could
possibly imagine.
He is Completely happy in
the theater," but does not think
that actors deserve such tremen-
dous credit for what they do,
because they and their success
are dependent upon so many
other things-the playwright,
the directors, the just right at
moSphere. Then we asked if it
were not true that he was re-
hearsing hours every day, he
said. But of course"
He has not played Shake
Speare for % years and loves
the modern theater with it's re-
strained, almost "underplaying
of vital situations" and he is so
enthusiastic over Richard the
Second. where everyone gives
everything they have to the
part" where beautiful phrases
pour out like fresh torrents,
where a scene is played right
up to the hilt." He looks as
though he might have led Cru
Sades in the time Of high ro-
nance and chivalry, or stood in
the prov of a Viking ship and
watched it sail out into the un-
known.
He is a splendid figure of a
man, very tall, with an impress
sive sweep of. shoulders, a slim
waist and a naughty face. His
dark lair possesses q cap-like
Smoothness, his eyes beneath
very straight black browS are
tawny, flecked with brown, he
has a strong, well nigh perfect
nose, and a very determined
chin, and a mouth that is
rather stern in repose but is
softened by its endless mobile
changing with each and every
one of his moods.
His voice is as deep and mel
low as a cathedral bell; he has
infinite poise, there are mo-
ments when he seems almost
placid and yet one feels instinc-
lively a reStleSSneSS, a turmoil
that never appears, because an
iron discipline wills it so. Mr..
Worlock believes that to listen
well is an art and that Sir
Philip Gibbs has it to a marked
degree, but he has never found
out lust how Sir Philip got all

Florida Thinks Twice

Florida's new Highway Board has abol- ished the border patrol which, for two
 winters, gave it's attention to penniless transients, turning them back at the border so they would not become charges on the state or be driven to crime because of poverty. The move does not result altogether from a changed attitude to- ward the transients. It was found that the border patrol was not effective. Many of the undesirable" persons warned not to enter Florida succeeded in doing so, sometimes boarding a train at the last Georgia station, and riding for very low fare to the first Florida station inside the border.
 Even more important, the border patrol was costing the state $150,0OO a year without saving that much money by it's work. Finally, it is possible that Florida authorities have felt the outside popular reaction against the states exclusion scheme. Now that the ban is lifted, it will be interesting to see whether Florida is overrun by impoverished seekers of sum- shine. Perhaps this particular menace never was so serious as was believed.

capacity. Always "strong" autocratic government ends in confusion and dis aster when the strong man departs.
 Our difficulties, hopes and resolu- tions," says President Somoza, "cannot be solved by imported doctrines. We can see the problems of Nicaragua only from the heights of our own towers We lead a poor life in a rich country because we have not had patriotic exploiters, but simply exploiters."
 Too many of those exploiters, it must be confessed, have been our own enter prising citizens. Nicaraguans and other developed, so far as possible, for their own use. But is dictatorship the best way to accomplish that? It has never been so in Mexico or Cuba.

 But Blum's New Deal lacks one important element of Rooscvelt's New Deal the support of a country with tremendous re- sources and far greater wealth. France for years has been work ing much closer to the margin. It cannot afford an unbalanced budget long.
 By some French richards Blum Is considered 8 dangerous radical. But compared with the state socialism forced upon the Italian people or the socialist economy rammed down the throats of the Germans, he is as mild as rain water.
 What Blum is striving for in France is a step-by-step evolu- ton, the education of the French public in order to avoid dictator ship and class warfare. Only by such a program, he believes, can the catastrophes of Soviet Rus sia. Fascist Italy and Nazi Ger many be avoided.

We've passed the 20th of the month and it looks as if January would roll right out of the new year without so much as threatening to bring us breath of win ter. After all 1t has only breathed lightly on New England. That delightful snow storm of Wednesday did nothing more than slow up traffic for few hours. It's memory is almost gone now, just as the ground is almost bare of every vestige of snow. It was nice while it lasted, but like every other attempt of King Boreas this season 1t failed to last. If February comes in as mildly as January, we don't see how any forecaster can hold up his head and look the world in the face any rnOrp
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-01-23

There has been a lot of talk of recent days about education, school costs, and the need of more state assistance for towns. It's quite interesting to note that cities are finding it increasingly difficult to pay for the cost of educating children between the ages of four and sixteen, although school registration figures in practically every town of this state are lower than they were some years ago. Figures quoted in the Catholic Transcript this week show that if the present rate of decline in attendance in primary grades continues in few more years schools will be closed at wholesale rates. Waterbury has already closed quite few schools that ten years ago were deemed neces- sary. The explanation is simple one. Families today are growing smaller and smaller. Instead of five to ten children in one family, today it is one or two. Catholic authorities insist that birth con- trol is taking it's toll. We think we'll live to rue the day that we even discussed this topic as possible legislation.
