HERE and
THERE
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
STREET
By W. N. Smith


I stood on the corner with
friend whom wanted to direct to
my home one day and 1 said my
home is on this side of the street.
No, he interposed, you live on the
other side of the street. Nonsense,
I answered, don't you suppose /
know where I live, it's on this side
of the street. Well, he replied, I'll
prove it by yourself that you live
on the other side. Go to it, smart
one, said / somewhat nettled.
Now, said he, your street has two
sides doesn't it? Of course, I ad-
mitted. You agree you don't live
on that side across from you? AS
suredly. But you do live on the
other side? Why surely do said
l, and then we both broke into a
laugh for he had tricked me into
admitting the thing I knew was not
true and which I had so vigorously
denied.
But that was only a little pleas
antry with no serious consequences.
I have often had fun since tricking
some other fellow into the same
admission.

NURSES NOTEBOOK

Enjoyed my visit to Glen Lake
Sanatorium last Thursday. This
institution impressed me at once as
an ideal place to regain health.
Beautiful grounds, modern equip
ment, efficient service with such a
homelike atmosphere.
The director of the Social Serv-
ice Department was very favorably
impressed with the services Of
fered by this department of The

and contact with our group and in
innate knowledge of each of the
thirteen patients there made me
feel I was being taken into fam
lily group.

In Love

But saddest of all, I think, is the
marriage of two people whose
minds are not attuned to the "same
side of the mental street." Some
times they muddle through years of
disappointment and disillusion, but
more often, like the merchants who
fail to overcome the handicaps of
an untenable location, they pack up
and move far away-through the
divorce court.
Truly, living on the other side of
the street is serious gamble, in
commerce, religion or Lowell

IN BUSINESS

Just the same business success
and the right side of the street are
indissoluble, linked and bound to-
gether with psychology that adj
mits of no explanation. For in
stance, this paper moved a couple
of weeks ago across the street, a
distance of about 40 feet. But if
we were a mile away the difference
could scarcely be more marked.
The people who now pass our
door are in a different class in
thought, action and economics. The
persons who still pass on the other
side appear never even to look our
way-fortunately none of them
are numbered among our custom
ers. But one may readily realize
what a difference it would make if
they were. I know of a busy sec
ton where for twenty years there
have been repeated attempts to es-
tablish a successful business ven
ture on the wrong side of the
street, but all in vain. Across the
street stores flourish but here a
hundred or more have failed.
Many downtown business houses
despairing of overcoming this pc
culiar psychology have bodily
moved blocks away to retrieve the
error of wrongly situated site.
In Religion
But the queer thinking that oft
times ruins business finds its out
let in other lines equally incom-
prehensively. Take the various re-
igious sects that through separate
ways endeavor to reach the same
goal. How little of understanding
or sympathy for each other is
shown. Each one feels its way is
right and looks with more or less
i'll concealed contempt on the mis-
guided efforts of the rest. This is
well illustrated in the remark of a
Baptist minister's wife who re-
marked of a certain gentleman
whose Christian virtues had been
extolled in her hearing, "He isn't
Christian, he's an Episcopalian."
Both of them are now dead and I
hope the lady has realized her
error.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-20

A gradual curSailment of indoor activity of the local educational and recreational branch of the WPA will be in effect for the next two or three weeks, it was announced this morning by Miss Edna Harmon, after which the late spring and summer program will begin to take definite shape.
 The children's museum, located in the Mattatuck Historical Society building, will formally close its in- door program with 8 flower show on May 12-15, it was stated today by Joseph Anthony, director, and from that time until the closing of schools the work will be confined to hikes and other outdoor work.
 Temporary Plans
 Miss Harmon said today that 1t has been planned, as was the case last year, to have the playgrounds in the four local parks opened after school hours under the supervision of WPA staff members until the regular city playground season opens. This plan depends on the approval of the park department officials.
 It has also been planned to oper- ate the WPA in local playgrounds this summer in the same manner as last year, with more extensive I1a- ture courses, stamp clubs and num- erous recreational activities. Last year there were only. six organized nature clubs and it is expected that during the coming season there will be one at practically every play ground in the city.
 OrientatiOn
 The local director also said today that tentative plans have been out lined in regard to re-establishine the "Orientation" school, which was held last summer at the central "Y' under the direction of Patrick Kelley and which had a registration of over 300 potential high school students for the complete six weeks of the course.

MATERNAL DEATH
 RATE DECREASES
Mothers Day Has Deeper Significance Than Serl=
 tinlent Alone

Pointing out that in Connecticut an average of 115 homes yearly are bereaved of mothers by deaths re- sulting from pregnancy and child birth, the state department of health said in its weekly bulletin today that Mothers day, to be celebrated on the second Sunday of May, has taken on still deeper significance than the expression of sentiment and reverence in recent years, and has become a day when the public is reminded of the necessity of pro- tecting mothers from preventable deaths.
 Diseases of pregnancy and child birth are among the leading causes of death of women between the ages of IS and 45 years, the bulletin stated. The United States contin- ues to have a high mortality rate in comparison with other civilized countries, although the rate in Con- necticut runs considerably lower than in the United States as a whole. It is estimated, however, that 50 to 75 per cent of all ma ternal deaths could be prevented if expectant mothers would seek medical care early in pregnancy and continue under close medical super vision throughout the entire period This means that from 5000 to 10.00( of the 16,000 women who die an- nually in this country from child- birth would be saved.
 Rate Declining
 For the past ten years, the ma ternal mortality rate for Connecti- cut has been slowly decreasing. In 1926, the rate was 6.2 maternal deaths for each 1000 living births: in 1886, it was AZ deaths which is higher than 1885 when it was 4.3 deaths per 1000 live births.
 Despite this progress, at least half of these deaths could be prevented, the bulletin declared, urging coop erative efforts to achieve that ob- jective. Every prospective mother should seek medical advice very early in pregnancy and should make a practice of returning regularly for periodic check-ups on her health. If she does this, conditions that might cause trouble can be recognized and treated. Frequent regular physical examinations during pregnancy also relieve mental anxiety and give the mother sense of security. Mother hood will be made safer through better prenatal and obstetrical care and through education of all expect ant mothers as to the need of good diet, regular habits of living, and adequate medical supervision.

 Nothing could have been better calculated to arouse the millions of American laborers than this treas enable performance on the part of the Liberty League made up for the most part of male factors of great wealth." said the report, to the House. signed by Rep.
