Renders New Home on Highway
 Now Completed
Mrs. Kendler Is Opening Homeside Ice Cream Serv-
 ice for Summer Sunday

MT and Mrs. Joe Render have completed their home on the Glac- fer Highway at the Alaska Dairy and tomorrow Mrs. Render is re- opening for the fourth season her Homeside Ice Cream Service which she operates during the summer months in conjunction with her new home.
 Fresh ice cream and tasty cake is prepared daily by Mrs. Render and there are few youngsters who travel out the highway who can't tell their parents exactly where the place" is, and they and the oldsters from experience know the quality of Mrs Renders refreshing dishes after long drive "out the road"
 In arranging their new home, one of the most attractive and mod ern in this community, special pro- vision was made for a reception room for those who stop for ice cream and cake. This room, fitted with oak floor, Philippine mahog- any furniture, French doors and sell otex walls and ceilings is an attract i've and restful place and unique in its arrangement
 A similar novel and appealing building arrangement is carried out through the new home. The dining room is finished in knotty pine, the living room, like the public recep- tion room, is in Philippine mahog- any and has an attractive fireplace. All fixtures are in Parisian brown and the house is ir-conditioned throughout.
 Her kitchen, of which Mrs. Kend Ter is especially proud, is the latest in model Xxi hens, electrically equipped throughout, has fan to carry away the fumes of cooking, and what many housewives have dreamed about, an electric dish washer
 Plans for the new Render home were prepared by N. Lester Troast and Associates and it was built by the R. J. Sommers Construction Company.

HowAverageAge OfSupremeC Court
 Judges Has Risen

new government. The average age of the men who wrote the Consti- tuition was A. Four of them were still in their 20's, IS in their 30's, and 20 in the 40's. Only the ven- erable Franklin among them was old as we think of it today, at 81.
 Under 55 for 90 Years
 The government established young men took most of the places of power. Washington, the father of his country is looked upon today as venerable, yet he was only 57 when he beame president.
 The six judges named to the U. 8. supreme court in 1789 followed this tendency. AS you can see at the left of the chart, they averaged just under 50. For almost the first 90 years of the new government, they averaged under 55 years, the pres- ent age of President Roosevelt.
 Then the judges ages began to rise, and except for temporary re- sessions when death took away the old justices and new appointments reduced the average age, it contin- ued to rise, until, when the crisis of the impending Civil war arrived, the average age of the judges were near to 70.
 Roosevelt Aims to Effect Drop
 Lincoln's new appointments at that time shook it down around 62 again, but the age level clung to around 65 until well into the l920's. Since then 1t has climbed steadily until today's all-time high average of 72 is reached.
 The interesting revelation of this chart is not so much the short swings" where deaths or resigna- tions followed by the appointment of younger men caused the average to drop temporarily. It is the Hong term" tendency of rising age cul- minating in today's situation. The chart shows a definite tendency throughout the 150 years of the goy- ernment's existence for the supreme court to be made up of older and older men.
 One of the immediate effects of the Roosevelt proposals as relat- ing to the supreme court would be to cut this average again, per- haps to around 65, if those appoint ments should be made which have been commonly rUmored,

The average age of supreme court judges has risen, irregularly but consistently in the long run, ever since the government was estab- lished 150 years ago. For the first time, this tendency is clearly shown by the accompanying graphical chart, carefully compiled by Sar- gent B. Child and Dr. George Mo- Farland.
 Present-day readers, familiar with court whose average age is 72, find it hard to believe that the first supreme court was made up of men whose average age was under 50.
 Yet that was quite in key with the age of the men who made the Constitution and who set up the

DISTRICT COURTS
 FAVORABLE HERE
Proposed Bill Meeting With Approval of Many
 Small Towns
CHESHIRE NEWS Hubert Rigney
 Cheshir0 Phone 33s

Cheshire, Feb. 20-The bill pro- posing the establishment of district courts is not meeting with much furore here in Cheshire and un- doubtedly not in the other small towns thoughout the state.
 The present system of Justice courts has proved satisfactory and 1t is to be hoped that it will not be changed. The justice courts have paid for themselves and have been 8 source of revenue to the towns. Also a justice may hold court at any time of the day or night anywhere. Cases have been heard in the fields, on the highway, or any place which was most con- venient. They have functioned as well as thcy were held in. 8 court room at a set time.
 Having a district court sit at 8 certain set time once & week 1t is understood the proposed district court for this district would set in Hamden, would cause quite a bit of inconvenience and increase the expenses considerably. For instance if person was apprehended in the northern part of Cheshire near the Southington line 1t would be neces- sary for the officer to bring him to Hamden Town Hall, which is about 8 or 9 miles from the northern limits of Cheshire and the cost to the prisoner would be over two dollars for travel in custody. where if he were brought before a justice at Cheshire Town Hall it would be a dollar or less.
 If the arrest was not made on the day of the court sitting the prisoner would be required to come from his own house to the Town Hall at Hamden on the day of the court sitting. In the case of out-of- state motor vehicle cases 1t can readily be seen that quite a bit of needless expense would be imposed upon the person charged.
 It does not seem that this would help any in the reduction of of- lenses, on the contrary, it seems seems that 1t would leave Q. bad taste with the out-of-state people. Our justice court here in Cheshire is well conducted and has proven satisfactory to all concerned why change. for something that has not been proven to be satisfactory by actual use in this area?

 Six new members will receive the initiatory degree at the meeting of L. A. Thomas Lodge, Odd Fellows, on Monday night.

Washington, Feb. 20 - Probably there is no more important issue raised in the tempest over Roose- velt's supreme court proposal than the question whether the measure is best calculated to promote Fas- cism or preserve democracy.
 The warning cry of dictator ship" is being taken up again by those who used it against the president in the campaign, and also by others who begin to worry about expansion of presi- dential power for the first time. This includes some who favor 8 curb on the court, but who fear establishment of precedent which might help some would-be Hitler of the future.
 Rosevelt's supporters argue back that an increase of power for the preuident and congress is preferable to the supreme courts Judicial dic- tatorship" which now exercises ar- bitrary power to kill laws proposed, passed and signed by the peoples elected representatives. They say @ workable economic system is the best guarantee against Fascism.

WILLIS VAN DEVANTER is of the hardest working of the supreme court justices, though he was appointed in 1910 and is now 78.
 Indiana born, Devanter made his career in varied practice in law and later represented impor tant land and railway companies. He appointed to the federal circuit court of appeals after service assistant attorney general under Theodore Roosevelt He had been active in Wyoming republican politics. President Taft appointed Van Devanter to the supreme court
 Van Devanter's legal mind is among the keenest the court and in certain fields he is recognized as authority just as his long service makes him most fully informed on the precedents which SO im- portant to the courts activities. Though he is a hard worker and masters the details of every case with unusual thoroughness, Van Devanter personally writes comparatively few opinions.
 New Deal legislation has fared roughly at the hands of this consistent conservative. Twelve such cases met Van Devanters negative, including the gold railway pension, and AAA cases, while only gained his approval of which the partial vic- tory of IVA
