We mentioned something week or so ago about the unusual battle for the office of First Selectman in the Town of Avon. The rival candidates are Joseph w. Alsop of the State Public Utilities Commission, running on the republican ticket, and Philip Hewes, executive sec- retary to Governor Wilbur L. Cross, rep resenting the democratic side of It. Owing to the fact that civil service requirements allow no campaigning on MT. Alsop's part he has to sit back and entrust his campaign to friends. He can run for office as his isn't classified service, but he can't do much about his own candi. dacy. This gives MT. Hewes a chance to force MT. Alsop's friends into the fray and he has succeeded In doing that very capably. Tn fact right now he has them issuing statement after statement, all of which makes an interesting campaign for Avonites, accustomed to prosaic doings'

Selected Poem
FORESIGHT.

FORESIGHT. (Leslie Nelson Jennings in the New York Sun) Now at the turning of the year. we stand Like Janus, that sagaciouS god of old Who guarded portals and who gravely scanned Both past and future. With October's gold Yet to be gathered, we look back through wide Archways to pleasant places full of shade, Where Time forsook the dial, where, beside still waters, we were willingly waylaid Here, at the threshold of new abode, It has been given us to learn the grace Of taking what Q season has bestowed, Feeling the warmth of freight on our face, Seeing tomorrow through that open door, Ours to replenish and be thankful for.

Hath was taking no chances.
 For the first time in many years Wheeler rushed back to Montana the day after Congress closed and began stumping the State to de- fend his actions and statements.
 It Is too early to predict the outcome of the dramatic strug- gle. Wheeler does not come up for reelection until 1940. Three years is Q long time In politics and many things may happen. To reach for Wheeler's tOga, O'COnnell must first hurdle next years congressional contest.
 Meanwhile he Is letting no grass grow under his feet. He is tour- ing the length and breadth of the State, militantly drawing the issue between him and Wheeler by defending the Presidents court bill.
