One source of satisfaction to us was the reappointment recently of General Sanford H. Wadhams to the State Water Commission. He has been invaluable to the state in carrying on the work of this board. And whenever there is discussion of water pollution in this state or even in the nation you're pretty apt to find him being consulted or his opinion being sought.

he can be heard a block away. But Carmody never harbors a grudge, and sometimes in the middle of an outburst, he will suddenly turn off the heat and break into warm smile.
 When it comes to getting ac- tiOn, Carmody is the champion red tape-cutter of the New Deal.
 As a member of the Labor Re- lations Board, he got indignant over the action of an REC of- ficial in granting government loans to textile mills which were involved in dispute over wage cuts. The workers claimed that the operators were using the REC loans to fight their unions.
 Carmody called on the REC ex- ecutive and requested that the loans be cancelled. The REC official airly brushed him aside.
 "Of course," he wise- cracked, 'T may be just a boy from the country, but I don't see how these labor problems affect the REC"
 "You don't eh?" thundered Carmody, slamming his fist down on the desk of the now goggle-eyed official. "NOw let me tell you something. You cut out this cheap wise-cracking and stalling. You're no nick and we know it. You know what your loans are doing for these mills, and if you don't do something about it right now I'll go to certain party who will see that you do."
 THE LOANS WERE STOPPED. Hometown Fireworks
 A few weeks ago Carmody gave a group of Associated Gas and Electric company big shots the shock of their lives.
 The incident took place at Bradford, Pa, where the REA chief had gone to speak at the opening ceremonies of a coopera- tive power project. This was his first visit home in many years and a large crowd of old friends turned out to hear him.
 Upon arriving, Carmody was much surprised to learn that sev- eral A. G. & E. officials also were on the program. He was even more statrled when, in the course of their speeches, they dwelt lovingly on the Cooperation" they had given REA.
 This was too much for the fighting Irishman. When his turn came he tossed aside his prepared speech and waded into the power moguls with bare fists.
 He told the large crowd of farmers and townspeople how the company had fought IIEA's eff forts to electrify rural Pennsyl- vania, by building more than 100 miles of "spite" lines, by solocit- ing clients already signed up by REA contracts, and by engaging in other sabotaging operations.
 "Oh, yes," CarmOdy rOared, "they cooperated. They cooper ated in trying to scuttle our efforts and plans. But it be- gins to look like they have about caught up with themselves. Gov. Earle has just named Dennis Driscoll as chairman of your new State Utilities Commission. Driscoll is the man the A. G. & E. drove out of Congress be- cause he exposed its fake tele- gram campaign against the Holding Company Act.
 "Oh, yes, they cooperated all right-t0 cut our thr0ats."

Charges of assault and battery pre-
ferred against Glen and Bert Bittin-
ger by the Wolfe brothers, were dis

| the dog had killed some of his poul-
try.

resulted in higher type of training
