 Grandma gives me the envelope containing our family, contribu- tion. I hold 1t tight in my hand and keep my eye on the post master, who is coming nearer and nearer. And now, nere he is, at our pew door! I am consider" ably agitated-feeling that the eyes of all the congregation are upon me - as the mostmaster, with private wink for me out of one corner of his eye-rushes the corn pepper past grandma, right under my nose. . a
 And now comes sermon -time'- and a great shuffling about of the congregation to get into the most comfortable positions possible. Women and girls open their or- namental ivory-handled silk and satin fans. Men and boys seize 'palm-leafs' that are scattered about everywhere--and soon the voice of the minister and the flut- ter of the fans and the singing of the birds in the trees snear the windows and the whinnying of the horses in the shed behind the church-all these combine to make me comfortably drowsy, so I lean up against grandma, who draws an affectionate arm about me and uses her fan to keep the flies from bothering me-and thus I fall asleep.

 ! recall a particular Sunday scene in our village church:
 Again grandma and I are sit ting in the old family pew-with the congregation all around us. Through the open window comes the fine September air and frag- rance from nearby gardens and fields. Late corners are hurry ing in as the bell in the steeple is ring out the last morning call. Up in the pulpit the kind " old minister is bustling about and arranging his papers. Above This head hangs a beautiful flag. Tn front of his desk, OH the pull pit floor, stands huge bouquet < of flowers. And over there in the choir is my understanding to grandma and me with love- light flashes from her black eyes and that peculiar purSing of her lips that always sent thrill straight to my heart.
 Now the organ is playing-and everybody stands. As usual grand- ma passes the hymn-pook for me to open. She knows all the hymns by heart, so 1t doesn't make any difference to her what page I open the book at-and to me one page is just as satisfactory as another; but whatever page it happens to be when I give grandma her end of the book to hold, am very particular about turning the page

 FIXING TEXTBOOKS
Educational Project Is Proving of Good Value
 to Community

Salaries amounting to $8,2975a have been paid for the mending of textbooks In the local grammar and high schools by the Works Project Administration from November 2l, 1886, until October 3l, of the cur- rent year, according to report made available today in the office of the local Educational Projects of which Joseph Scully is supervisor. These figures represent an occupa- ton founded by former director, Miss Edna Harmon, whose resigna- tion became effective at the begin ming of the week.
 The report indicates that the City of Waterbury has furnished building for the work to be carried on as well as heating and lighting facilities. The WPA department has provided the employees and sal- aries.
 During the year in which the bureau has been in operation 8,96O books have been preserved. Relief workers who have been crediated with l3,476 hours received $7,238.01 in wages, while supervisors or non- relief workers have been engaged on the project 1876 hours, for which they have received $1,05952.

I wake up suddenly-to find the fans all still. Everybody is wide- awake and listening inetntly to the minister-who is finishing his Ser- mon with great earnestness. I hear Sobbing from over in one corner. I look toward the cholr-but my mother is not there. turn to grandma for an explanation. She points with her eyes the direction where the sobbing comes from and looking there, I see my inoth- CT. She is holding in her arms another young lady dressed m black, and soothing her. And !n the same pew are two little boys of about my age-trying, too, to comfort their mother; and each gripping tight in one hand, a little 'bold-soldier-cap' like mine.
 Now the sermon is overland the minister says: Let us pray" And he talks to God in such easy words that I can understand most everything he says. He asks Him to guide our noble President and our brave soldiers, to comfort the mothers, the widows and the fatherless and hasten the time when there shall be no more slaY- cry and no more war"

 They found what appeared to be evidence that the door handle on the right side had not been moved for long period of time, and that it was trusted into position.
 In considering that perhaps Unikas might have been responsible for both cases, police considered the door handle episode, and also the fact that Unikas went home from work each night by way of Thomas ton avenue shortly after midnight. Both deaths occurred on Thomaston
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-11-03

Police discovered last night that the door handles on the car which Walter Unikas, 46, of ShefHeld street admits caused the death of Mike Bush on Thomaston avenue, October 24, did not match.
 At once 1t was believed that there might be some connection between the car and the death of Thomas Maxwell, who was killed week pre- vious, also on the Thomaston road.
 One of the most important clues in the Maxwell case held by police is the handle of the right door of the car which killed Maxwell and then skipped, and in pursuance of this clue, a thorough investigation of the doors was conducted.

 But now comes a ceremony I especially enjoy and where I have a little role myself to play:
 Two deacons-one, a tall, wealth. er-beaten old farmer; the other, the fat and jolly old village post master Crying to look solemn and dignified)-assemble at tte vesti- bule and parade up the middle aisle in double file-to facec the minister, who steps down from the pulpit to the main floor. To each deacon the minister presents something with a long handle that looks to me like our corn pepper with the lid off.

"Has the bachelor any more

look a gift horse in the mouth?"
Continuing to speak for his

Apparently the only way to
please a man with q Christmas

The only thing you can give

peaceful assurance that as far
