Tyuck RnmblimgS Mayor McLevy of Bridgeport Wants Special Road Through City to Relieve It of Wear and Tear Caused by Heavy
 Vehicles
NEW BRITAIN HERALD

to pay for the Merritt parkway which will solve the traffic conges- ton for automobiles only. The truck situation will be just as bad along the Post road.
 The state has lacked foresight When 1t widened US and built the Milford cutoff 1t thought the situ- ation was solved for Q generation Tn reality, it's now an old-fashioned road built on old-fashioned prin- ciples, (going through all the towns and cities with traffic lights galore) And while the state was leisurely finding this out 1t failed to build d. ternate trunk lines, following the behest of It's politicians to build good roads in the country districts As Q result Connecticut has perhaps the finest small town rural roads and the least number of modern trunk roads of any well-populated eastern state. Indeed, some of the states main trunk lines are dis- graceful, such as Route 15 to Bos- ton (via Union, parts of Route in the west and east portions of the state, Route 5 north of Hartford( via Windsor) and the same road south of Hartford, particularly through Berlin.
 The state now is going to have 0 hard time to catch up.

What the trucks are doing to Bridgeport at least is deeply regret ted by the remainder of the state The Park City is on the main US route and day and night the trucks pound through its main boulevardS, through Stratford avenue, Connecti- cut avenue, Barnum avenue.
 That is why Mayor McLevy wants Q special truck road.
 Bridgeport Is as badly battered with trucks as New Haven. But both cities would suffer less if the state had induced trucks travelling north of New Haven (to and from Hartford and beyond) to use Route 6 at least to DanuFy instead of crowding upon the Boston Post road. The reason they do not use Route 6 is because the State Highway de- partment never made proper efforts to pave 1t into Q first rate road for its entire length. No federally designated highway in the state has been so consistently neglected by the state aS US 6.
 How nice 1t would be for New Haven and Bridgeport and the other shore cities which are plagued by trucks if those from the central part of the state found Route 6 Inod- ern concrete road the entire distance to Danbury; or, getting close to that city, one of the shortcut florth- south routes such as 67-were similarly modern. If that were the fact central Connecticut automo- piles, too, would not be 50 prone to use US through the shore cities and towns.
 The state is guaranteeing the pay lnent of about $30,000,000 in bonds

 Merry GO-Round
 The Presidents grandchildren, "Sistie" and "Buzzie," attracted as much public attention as he did. They were the focus of interest wherever they appeared. The youngsters listen to the speeches of their grandfather with adult seriousness. Representative Wal ter M. Pierce, veteran Oregor1iarl, is informing friends; I'm telling my folks they had better vote for me next year because it may be the last time. I'm getting pretty old. Of course, I've been telling them that long time. It's good story" Dr. J. F. Hosch, left wing New Dealer who has his eye on Gov. Charles Martins job, is Q wealthy man and one of Oregon's ablest physicians. Martin, @ re- tired Major General and ex-Con- gressman, is strongly anti-New Deal. He denounced the Presi- dents Supreme Court plan and recently assailed the National La- bor Relations Board. In his Bonneville speech the President made Q yelled but unmistakeable attack on Martins pro-uttlity power views.

This is Fire Prevention Week and as such particular care is given at this time for the prevention of serious confagra- ton. At all times the fire hazard threat ems us; and one never ceases vigilance n this matter. But 1t is thought fitting that a special week be set aside to doubly in- sure and doubly warn against the danger of fire; danger to property, and danger to life. It has been proclaimed by the president of the United States, by indi- vidual governors, and by city authorities. The Chamber of Commerce joins with the fire department in reciting fire haz- loss or waste is due chiefly to careless ness.

PROTECTING THE PIT PONIES
 (Christ Science Monitnrl

The Pit Ponies Protection society in Great Britain has drafted pro- posals which are calculated to ren- der the lives of its proteges happier, and which 1t hopes, at an early date, to lay before the British Parlia- ment. There are at present some S3.000 pit ponies ''trotting through the dark" in the country's mines, and in many cases they are over- worked, and living in conditions that are needlessly severe.
 It Is difficult, indeed. to imagine Parliament when it meets having any wodthier cause than this be- fore it: if patient, uncomplaining service, if lifelong hardship endured in the course of duty. and if useful- ness to the state, be reckoned as de- serving of reward, the pit pony has Q claim that cannot Do overlooked. Let any who conceive for a moment that this view Is sentimental, or overstrasnods eonaldeF the sacrifice

There is through traffic on Willow street. And this is quite thing since a very short time ago, matter of days in fact, one heard on all sides-Willow street will never be finished before Mo- vember. The job was accelerated last week, and even with one good rainy day, vehicles could pass through over the weekend. There are still some points that have to be rounded, some cleaning up and patching and finishing of sidewalks and curbs, and bit more cement to be ished. The corner of West Main and VII. low yesterday had the appearance of a fine wide square in one of our larger cit- les. Sidewalks have been narrowed off at the foot of Willow so that now cars can make several lanes going north or south. This week will probably see the final fln- ishing of big paving job.

FATHER DWELL
N jl,sxn q

The news of the passing of the Reverend Felix J. O'Neill brings Q keen sense of loss to The Courant, which has 50 often been privileged to print his verse. A sturdy patriot as well as Q devoted and able priest, he turned his facile pen to the ser- vice of his country and of his church. One recalls his memorials to George Washington and Nathan Hale and his reconstruction of the Battle o fFort Griswold, but three of the many poems of his that ap- peared on this page, as one remen- bers his many verses on the Chris tian's duty.
 As he implied in the title of one of his books, Poems for Many Minds", his interests were many and varied. Until the infirmities of ad- vancing years forbade vigorous exer- else, he had been an enthusiastic sportsman. A Series of "reminiscences wrote some years ago for the mag azine section of The Sunday Cou- rant revealed him as 6 true disciple of Izaak Walton, Q mellow and med. itative observer with @ quick ap- preciation of the quiet beauties that are revealed to the angler. He knew and loved the hills and valleys of his parish: "The scent of the frost, which you and I like so well, is in these verses" he once wrote 6 friend.
 For thirty-seven years he had been the beloved pastor of St. Edwards Church in Stafford Springs, known and honored by his neighbors of all faiths. His death removes not only a devoted priest but a respected citizen and friend of thousands, many of whom, though they knew him only through his writings, none the less felt the right to lay claim to his friendship. He will be mourned outside his church as well as in 1t.

Selected Poem
SHE WAITS FOR SPRING
Edith Lombard Squires in the Christian
 Gniannca AHonnitoeN

Science Monitor) Now comes late autumn when the earth is dumb And silence broods across the misty field There is no singing bird, no cricket's hum, The frost has passed and every sound is sealed But length by length flmy thread is spun, A filament of silver on the grass, And though the winds sharp scissors cuts down one New strands gleam under foot like fairy glass: For with this busyness of flying thread The spider weaves her mantle, fold by fold: When winters icy coverlet is spread, She wears Q robe of beauty from the cold, And in a crevice, wrapped in gauzy lace, She waits for spring in her abiding g-place.

that the ponies are forced to make. Nowhere outside the mines are do- mestic animals working in circum- stances so utterly alien to all that Nature intended for them. They go down into the pit, bidding a long farewell to the light of day, to face not only tormenting discomfort, but the gravest peril.
 Slowly but surely, in Britain, the dark shadow that crept over the livse of workers in factories and mines, with the coming of the The dustrial Revolution. has been lifted. The earliest legislation was devoted to emancipating the children: now, well over 6 hundred years later, public opinion is surely sufficiently enlightened to do everything possible for those who are eVen more help- lees than the children.

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Oct. 6--A musician tells about Arturo Toscanini, tempera- mental genius of the baton, who, rehearsing his orchestra, suddenly stopped and pointed at the cellist. Give me a pianissimo," he cried.
 The cellist drew his bow across the strings.
 "Nol Nol Nov' the maestro shouted. Again the cellist caressed the strings with his bow and again Toscanini shook his head.
 Nov for the last time, give me a pianissimo," the conductor order- ed. The cellist bent over his ilstru- ment and drew the bow.
 "Goodl dood!" Toscanini exult- ed. "Why didn't you do that the first timer"
 Later the cellist was asked how he had done 1t. He looked carefully around.
 T didn't touch the strings ct all the last time," he conflded. Swing on Bandwagon
 Talk about biting the hands that feed you-and one thinks of Harold Arlen, Russ Morgan and swing. Ar- len is the composer of stormy Weather" and other hits and Russ Morgan is Q top flight bandleader. Both these gentlemen have been making Q plush-lined living from music that is what the French call "le jag hot"-or swing to us. So both, through their respective drum beaters, now announce that swing is dying or dead.
 This is comparable to 8 garment manufacturer advocating nudism and would be totally incomprehen- sible If 1t were not for the old say- ing: T don't care what you write about me, only get my name in the paper"
 A musical expert who doesn't need the space, takes the opposite stand. He declares that swing can't die, though the name might change. They used to call 1t syncopation, (remember?) then "hot liclSs." Un- der any other name, 1t still si swing. Love Without Price
 Maybe love is worth $2,O00,000, as Judith Allen claimed when she de- nanded that amount as balm for loss Of Jack Doyle's affections. Your correspondent can tell you confid- entially, though, that the poor, per- secuted Irish Thrush always has placed love of Miss Allen above momentary consideration.
 Your correspondent was Doyle's fellow-passenger abroad the Nor- mandie recently, and remembers wildly the ships concert in which Adonis-like Doyle stole the show when he dedicated song to his dearly, beloved wife who ever was in his thoughts" while she fingered in Hollywood and he sailed the high seas. He sang % Sole Mic" I believe.
 It was @ sweet, sentimental mo- rnent for all who sat at the ships concert that evening and heard the heartsick pulilist make his TO- mantle avowals in public.
 But disillusion rnent set in the next morning when our ships paper callously informed us, via special, radioed dispatch, that Miss Judith Allen had just instituted suit for an annulment of marriage from her love-stricken, swain.
