The site of the Park Road school may
be utilized for playground purposes, we
learn from the news columns of the DEM
ocrat. This would be the second aban-
doned school site to be put to good use,
for the Hopeville Community Club has
already leased the old Hopeville school
building. It's good plan, where possible,
to make use of such sites or buildings. We
wonder to what good purpose the Gaff-
ney school in the Lakewood district might
be put. Here is a modern building too
good to be torn down.

incidentally these same figures also
eliminate any chance of an argument
between Hartford, New Haven, and
Bridgeport as to which is the largest city
in the state. Hartford's claim to the title
is pretty strongly borne out by the Health
Department figures. It is some $4,000
souls larger than New Haven, while the
latter is in the neighborhood Of $4,000
larger than Bridgeport. The gap between
Bridgeport and Waterbury, the next
largest, is very wide, over 10000. And
then the next gap between Waterbury
and New Britain is large, over $4,000. We
used to like those Hartford-New Haven
Bridgeport disputes. They livened things
up.

The State Health Department figures
on Watrebury's population ought to pro-
woke arguments for some weeks to come
in those inner circles where arguments
are always welcomed. The fact that the
latest bulletin of the department gives
Waterbury population estimate OF
1857 as of July /, 1887, is cause for
comment any day in the week. However,
we are not bit surprised at this esti-
mate. The department has its means of
figuring out population figures and we
are not going to take exception to any
such rule that has consistently credited
Waterbury with good full, round figures.
When all other agencies were putting
Waterbury down low in the population
field, even below New Britain's figure,
If you can remember that incident, the
State Health Department had us well up
on the chart and usually in the 100000
class.

Big Push Ahead

From the tone and nature of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress Wednesday, it can be concluded
that vigorous effort will be made in the
coming four years to push to completion
many New Deal efforts that have been
tried and turned aside during his first
term. That the President also has a
healthy regard for the Supreme Court
and it's many adverse decisions on New
Deal legislation can also be seen from his
several illusions. So far as constitu-
tional amendments are concerned to
further the New Deal there need be no
fear
However, President Roosevelt did not
minceN any words in telling the Supreme
Court, which was not represented at the
joint congressional session when the Pres
ident delivered his message, that he
looked for a more liberal Interpretation
of the law as demanded by the times
through which we are living Whether
or not this will make any impression on
the court is doubtful. We'd be inclined
to think that little or no notice of any
such allusion to past decisions would
register on the august body, since it is
not in the custom of being influenced by
what officials, high or low, think of its
past decisions.
Assurance that the MIRA will be back
with us in some form was contained in
the presidential address, so most writer's
deduct from his reference to the same.
He admitted that the MIRA of several years
ago bit off to much, but at the same time
he was quick to point out that the prob
lens which the MIRA sought to solve were
still with us. And it has been forecast
for some time that an MIRA OF some de-
scription would surely be nodded and
enforced before the Roosevelt second adj
ministration was many months old
Recognition was also taken of the present
employment situation, which should
encourage those who are clamoring for

Selected Poem
JANUARY MORNING

JANUARY MORNING
Stripped of their erstwhile, sheltering cloacks Of
Through mist and gloom
The solitary, sentinel mountain stands
In sharp relief against the leaden sky;
Gray hills and plains,
Emerging from the darkness into dawn
Are slumbering still TO winters lullaby.
The murmuring brook.
Whose gentle voice enhanced the summer night
From snow and rain has larger grown and wild;
brook no more
He shouts defiance from his trimming banks
And laughs with glee just like q naughty child
In woodland lot
Stand gaunt and twisted skeletons OF trees
IL. Paul Brock In the Poets Corner, Hartford TimeO
green
Damp, chilling winds
Sweep fitfully DER latent, empty fields
And chase each other down the low ravines
Gray, lowering clouds
Give promise Of another storm 10 come
TO clothe the earth once more In purest white;
The earth awaits,
Content TO rest the summers labors past,
And sleep In patience through the winter night.

Of, the New York traction king,
has new backing.
Mrs. Brady has already gained
one title through her benefactions.
She Is papal Duchess. 1t was
at her Long Island estate, mis-
fada, that Cardinal Pacelli, papal
secretary of state, was entertained
on his recent visit to the United
States.
Tom, Dick and Harry
For about half CT the fifteen
senators, a biographical sketch
could be written which would ap.
ply equally well to any of them.
1t would read something like
this:
Born on farm, worked way
through school, read law at
night in law office, edited
country newspaper, passed bar
examination, served with u. s.
Army 1917-18, elected to state
legislature; Methodist, Mason,
Legionnaire."
One of the rockies whose
biography reads almost exactly
like this Is Harry H. Schwartz.
The only exception in the story
is that the state which elected
him to the legislature was South
Dakota, whereas the state that
sent him to the senate Is Wyom-
ing. And he is a native Of still
another state-Ohio.
Two Of a Kind
With the advent of Schwartz
to the senate, Wyoming's repre-
sentation in the chamber chang
es radically. Instead Of having
one liberal democrat Joseph @.
O,Mahoney) and one conservative
republican Robert D. Carey,
there are now two of a kind.
Schwartz and O'Mahoney are
the two of q kind. Ever since he
set type for a Cincinanti news
paper, Schwartz has had a pro-
labor slant. He fathered Wyom-
ing,s anti-injunction law bill
which O'Mahoney, as labor at
torney, had drafted.

The pace OF White House social
life will be faster than usual this
season. The Presidents trip to
South America delayed the OPEN

Never has the demand been
greater for invitations to the
White House receptions. Though
the affairs are far from exclu-

up to 1000 at q single party-the
socially-minded covet invitations

1t won't.

Mrs. Helm. II never open the

I SAGE TO THE LEGISLATURE

There should be no doubt in the
minds Of any member of the leg1s-
Lature aus to the attitude of Cover
1lcr Martin on radical and expert
mental projects and propositions.
In his inaugural address to the leg
stature. he asserted t'We do not
have to guess or speculate, because
the people have pointed the way.
He pointed out that by uniform and
.i.rig,istaISable 1gDajoritles. the people
Of Washington had turned down
radical proposals and are opposed
to ventures into Socialism, CON-
yrlulllSal or any strange, or unknown
philosophy of government. He
served notice frankly that he would
veto ANY such legislation at this
session. In his message, he CARRIED
the light direut to the Seattle COM
trs,s1li3stie element 1t was cheering
,ls7ws to the conservative members.
Governor Martin also called at
tantjor TO the fact that Initiative
measures we're dangerous to The
welfare of the state. AS a horrible
example, he said: II direct your at
tention to an alarming and costly
trend in one OF our major resources
aud industries-the commercial
fisheries on Puget Sound and the
Columbia river" He showed that
Initiative No. "a is not working out

detrimental, tending to throw to

Washington packed $1,000 cases 81
sockeye salmon valued at $975,OO0.
