RADIANT LIVING
SECRETS OF SERVICE

What startling events that had

fished, but caught nothing. And then
in the morning came that marvellous
haul when that mysterious stranger
on the beach called out to cast the
net on the other side of the ship,
Then had followed the revelation
that this stranger was the Risen
Christ. 1t was He Who had prepar-
ed for them with His own hands that
wonderful breakfast n
But now the Christ had again en-
tered behind the curtain of inyisi-
bility But before doing so, He had
placed into the hands of Peter the
commission of Apostleship. How was
he to accomplish his task in the face
of an antagonistic world?
There came to Peters mind the
remembrance Of that net bursting
with fish. In that miraculous haul
came the solution of his problem.
His task was to be accomplished by
the assistance of Divine aid.

side of the will of God; His, to fill
the net TO the breaking point with
fish. Ours 10 implicitly obey; His. to
give success.
But how was Peter TO be provided
for as he gave himself fully TO his
task? That breakfast was the ans
wer. In it Peter saw a promise that
the Christ would providentially sus-
tain his every need.
To US no less than TO Peter has
been given the commission. ''Ye

is difficult. but We also have the
promise Of divine aid and of divine
sustenance along the way. Therefore

SPRING STRESSES
NEED FOR PAINTS
Manufacturers Expect U. S.
Owners to Spend $780,
100000 This Year.

With the arrival Of Spring, the aver
age American home owner begins to
concentrate on garden plans, and the
bright green leaves of the surround
ing shrubs and the gay coloring of
flowers annually stresses the need for
painting the exterior of the home.
According to the announcement Just
made by the United States Bureau of
the Census, American home owners in
1885, the last year for which figures
are available, spent more than $780,
100000 In the painting of exteriors,
exclusive of varnishes, wall paints and
other interior finishes
With the return of prosperity, paint
manufacturers expect this year that
American home owners and the in
creased amount of new construction
will consume more than $5O0,O0o 900
in paints. Especially is this expected
because of the lack of much-needed
painting during the depression.
Painting the home is in the interest
Of economy, it is explained, an essen
tial outlay to the protection of con-
that the painting of a $1,000 frame
house costs about $3.50; with similar
brick house the painting of doors, win
doWs and outside trim costs about S85.
In the interest of economy buildings
should be painted every other year.
Frame houses depreciate in value
about per cent year, or s140 an
nually on $1,000 home. There is
comparatively little depreciation on
brick dwelling. Failure to retard de-
probation by neglecting to paint is to
lose more than the $l25 year needed
to protect wood from the elements.
Wood interiors, not exposed to the
deteriorating influences of sun and
storm, experience but little deteriora-
ton, aside from possible termite de-
struction, but it has been proved wise
economy to protect all wood exteriors,
and particularly is this true with frame
houses.

Lenient Long Enough

Mayor Frank Hayes declaration that
the trolley company operating in Water
bury should bear some OF the expense OF
repairs of Waterbury streets that have
long gone without them is we'll founded.
Speaking at the hearing before the Public
Utilities Commission in Hartford last
week Mayor Hayes pointed out that this
city never attempted to force the Con-
rlecticut Company to live up to the law
which required the traction concern to
maintain all paving within eight inches
OF each rail- That's SO we'll known here
that many people have forgotten that the
company was obliged in any way for up
keep of the streets on which it maintained
service.
Now that complete abandonment OF
rails is anticipated, we think the city
might easily indicate that it is in no bet
ter position to eXpend large sums OF
money in street repairs than the Connec-
ticut Railway and Lighting Company. We
were surprised to learn that the city was
expected to allow the rails merely to be
covered when the trolley service is dis
carded in favor of the buses. At best
this is but merely deferring to the future
what should be done now. We don't
think repair job like this ought to be
done.
If and when the Public Utilities Com
mission does permit the withdrawal OF
all trolley service, it ought to be on dis
tinct understanding between city and
town officials and those Of the trolley
company. And this understanding
should include provision for sharing the
expense of putting the streets back in AL
shape, not temporary shape for later
paving jobs. If the rail service is to be
given up, let's give it up entirely and not
have reminders of trolleys around for ten
more years in the shape of half-exposed
rails and consequent dangerous driving

Two Years to Wait

The Legislature, through its judiciary
committee doesn't think we'll Of the pro-
posal to name commission to study the
discrepancies in our present alignment
of senatorial districts A favorable report
was brought in by this committee last
week on Senate Bill 367, which was can
act raising commission to investigate
inequalities of population in the sena-
torial districts and report plan for
equalizing the same. :" Perhaps it's
Just the commission form that the COM
mittee objects to- certainly it can't be the
desire to straighten out unequal district
lines.
The Constitution of the state further is
being violated by neglect of the legisla-
tors to recognize changes in population
once every ten years. Following each
federal census the General Assembly is
required by constitution to make such
changes as may be necessitated by shifts
In population. It's years and years now
since anything has been done about the
senatorial districts. An excellent chance
to bring them up to date was afforded in
q 1881. Another one will be coming in 1941.
That's four years away, SO why not plan
today for it.
I If anyone doesn't think that the sena-
torial districts are unequal and not quite
fair, then all he or she need do is to check
the population figures of them. If that
doesn't mean anything, then perhaps the
constitutional requirements for our sena-
torial districts will reveal the fault. While
Connecticut is discussing and bordering
on reorganization of it's state govern
ment, 1t ought to take into consideration
the task of redistricting. And this could
be carried even further than the sena-
torial districts. The congressional dis
tricts could be included.

Spanking Broadcast

Nearly everything audible gets broad
cast nowadays, and the listening public
is tolerant, but perhaps there's limit.
That limit, as discovered in Canada the
other day, has nothing to do with what
we ordinarily refer to as morals. It's a
matter of sympathy for children.
The offending program consisted of a
spanking performed at public school
in London, Ont. Listeners could hear
as they were meant to- the whack of the
strap and the howls of the children What
offenses had been committed are not re-
vealed, but the performance was ex-
planned as IAN experience in school man.
agement." The school broadcast system
enabled the pupils in other rooms Of the
big school to hear it, also the parents at
home.
The results were rather devastating
Students all over the school, especially
the girls, set up howl that mingled with
the bowling of the victims. Then the
parents and the school board got busy
The idea isn't really original in Canada
1t was tried two or three years ago in a
public school in small Ohio town, and
didn't succeed there, either. It might not
work any better in prison.

Defense Policy

"our plan of national defense is all
wrong" maintains Major General John
son Hagood, retired, Speaking to private
military organization. THAT is because
1t is organized for offense rather than
defense. We operate on the notion that
we must defend American interests no
matter where they may be, when as a
matter Of fact 1t is our duty only to de-
fend America"
There was period when most of us
seemed to feel that America was
wherever there were American interests.
It was this feeling that led us to support
aggressive action which we usually
called defensive in countries quite a
distance from home, in support of pri-
vate business ventures or theoretical
national interests We had spheres of
influence" that we felt obliged to main
tain by force, when craftsmanship failed
We are less inclined that way now.
"There should be two ideas behind all
our national Defense" says General Ha-
