There's a merchant at Myrtle

a brides father just with
all the floods going on some
yokels stole every rubber boot

honest about it and buy the
boots if they'd had any money,
but the bank they'd just robbed
YIELDED nothing but a pair of
secondhand sp~ectacles.
Some Of the boys have been
knocking their heads together

We found a lass of incendiary
temperament and a gentleman
who had been too long at the
business end of a brew bottle
arguing garrulously the other
night over who founded "Memor-

knowing we had the chance
of martyr among the Roman lions
we made no comment at the mo-
ment, but from this safe distance
would inform our fire-flinging
friends that Memorial Day was
started by three lovely ladies of
Mississippi, and that the first
Memorial Day program was held
at Friendship Cemetery, Column

Down at the Ashe Nursery they
have an ebony lad who makes his
living leaning against a post
watching for birds.
r.. they call him CrowBait but
his real name is Early Rise.
Jack May says Crow-Bait's
job is really to see that the early
birds don't get the pine seed.
Crow (Tarly Rise) Bait tells
us that the other job open was
that of counting the &c million
pine trees the nursery produces
each year and he didn't want it.

 Lamp in Cottage

Investigation by Chief Edward Pracny of the Wolcott Volunteer Fire Department continued through out today in regard to the cause of the fire which destroyed cot tage and cost the life of August Meyer, 7l, at Hichcocks Lake Sum day evening, the exact cause of the fire being as yet undetermined.
 Tn the meantime, Chief Pracny took occasion to deny that an over turned oil lamp was the cause of the tragedy, inasmuch as the cot tage was wired for electricity, though neighbors of Meyer claim that he used oil lamps to light the interior of the cottage in which he lived.
 Much sor row was expressed throughout the city last night by the many friends of MT. Meyer who was popularly known as Major" His burial took place today.

law violation is Arthur 0. Keith.
 Another county commissioner, Urgele Lafrance, was charged by the Investigating committee with failure to observe the law by not calling regular meetings of the board of management.
 The investigation was ordered by the General Assembly after MT. and Mrs. Philip Provandie, an elderly couple acting as superintendent and matron at the home, respectfully, were arrested last spring on serious charges.
 Comment Is Missing
 Windham county legislators were loath to discuss what would happen ct Tuesday nights meeting. Each member of the General Assembly delegation has a copy of the com- mittee's report on the home, given him Wednesday night.
 Some talk was heard that custer proceedings may be instituted against the two county commission CTS named in the report. If success ful, Gov. Cross wolld have authority to make two recess appointments. The legislative delegation cannot make appointments as the assmbly is not in session.
 Thus was brough to a head again Q conflict which has bene raging in welfare association circles for years the problem of divided county and state control of dependent and homeless children.
 Last session, bill was introduced in the assembly giving the state welfare department sole authority over these children in homes, but 1t met death in committee.
 WalcOtt Is Silent
 Commissioner Walcott would not comment on charges he was lax in his duties in connection with the institution until he had read @ copy of the report.
 Health Commissioner Osborn, whose interpretation of his duties as stated in the statutes was called "untenable" by the Investigating committee, said:
 "The health department will con- tinue to do its best for the chill dren of the state."
 Provandie faced superior court charges of indecent assault and em-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-24

was believed he would not accept the chalrmanship. Brown, it was understood, had counted on the strength of the four eastern coun. ties with Fairfield County to win the U. S. senatorial nomination next fall. Leaders said withdrawal of Middlesex County from the com- pact might prove a serious blow to his plans.
 Working For Votes
 Meanwhile, 1t was understood both Bissell and Harwood groups were working for every available vote, with Bissell tagged" as "Buckley's man" despite the fact that former State Senator Kenneth Cramer, Wethersfleld, Is apparently com manding the Bissell forces.
 The struggle for votes will coll- tinue until Miss Katherine Byrne, Putnam, vice chairman, calls the meeting to order at the HartHoro Club next Wednesday.
