He hated and feared Chichi as the
rest Of the natives did.
Angustias climbed on to her horse
again, soothing her weeping treas.
ure.
The Captain heaved a sigh.
WELL" he said, "are we all"
But suddenly a piercing shrek
came from somewhere, a long high
wall that ended in, "Ma-a-a-ama!"
Eulalia slipped from her jennet.
'Pedro, Pedro! What is it! My
God"
Before the Captain could reach
her, she had met the child and had
him clasped in her arms.
Mama, look! Look, mama! Al.
al! I am hurt! Al, al, all"
What has happened? What is it?
Do no cry, speak to mel"
He held out his hands to her.
Look, cactus! All the needles
ran in me! Ouch, al, al. all"
The Captain took the child from
his mother and set him on his own
knee as he squatted on the trail.
eyes, yes. What happened?"
II was back therein the bushes
"a big black something came after
me and ran, and stumbled into the
cholla-ouch, ouch!"
His face and arms were swelling
from the hundreds Of needles that
had penetrated his skin, singing
him to agony as he strove to scratch
them out. Canete took firm hold of
his wrists.
Don't scratch! Dona Angustias,
let down your hairl"
Angustias put her hand to her
scant gray locks in bewilderment.
"But-why?" she stammered.
Because you must help this suf-
fering child. Only long hair will
draw out cactus thorns. Quickly!"
But young Pedro was already en-
veloped in a flood Of black tresses
as his mothers hair turnbled about
him, soothing his stings, and draw
ing, by some strange attraction, the
needles from his flesh.
At last his cries dropped to sobs,
and his sobs to whimpers. Then he
sniveled softly in his mothers arms.
''Now, my brave little man, will
you smile at Mother? Poor darling,
poor little Soldieri"
II want drink of water,'' whim-
pered Pedro.
''He wants drink of water" said
Eulalia to Angustias.
'He wants drink Of water, said
Angustias to the Captain.
"He wants a-but, by my life
there is no water!"
''No water?" exploded Eu1alia.
''No water, Sonora. But we are
not far from the Spring of Santa
Marta. Come. Let us get on our
way before it grows darker. Come,
my Lady,"
Eulalia grew very still. Canete
leaned over her and touched her
arm to assist her to arise.
Don't touch me-" she said dam
gerously.

|L|ONS' CAMP A|CN
 FUND ENDORSED
Rev. Dr. Cryne of Diocesan Bureau Praises Clubs
 Children Program

The campaign of the Lions club for funds to carry on its program of care for underprivileged children has been endorsed by Rev. Dr. Eu- gene P. Cryne, pastor of St. Pat rick's church and director of the Waterbury office of the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service.
 The club is now seeking to raise the sum of $500 to operate its new farm for the underprivileged at Bantam. Local residents have been asked to contribute to the fund.
 Father Cryne sent the following letter to James A. Phelan, chairman of the Lions club children's com- mittee:
 "The members of the Lions club of Waterbury are to be commend ed for the program of care for un- derprivileged children which is to be carried on at their Fresh Air Farm at Bantam this coming sum- mer. To give even well children an opportunity to breath the fresh air of the country, a chance to bask in the curative rays of Gods sum- shine and to afford the mental rec reation and education as well which comes from close contact with the secrets of nature, is certainly an undertaking which should receive the support of every citizen of Wa terbury regardless of other obliga- tions and affiliations. But when we recall that the recipients are chil- dren who are handicapped by na- ture or by accident or disease, the good done is enhanced and the value multiplied. To the children it means the storing up of health and energy to enable them to with stand the rigors of the cold winter months; to the donors 1t gives the satisfaction which always comes from sharing ones goods and help ing to spread health and happiness; to the community it gives a splen- did example of brotherly love, makes for good citizens and fillc little hearts with comfort and encour- agement.
 Enclosed is a small contribution I wish you 8 most successful sea- son.
 Faithfully yours,
 REV. EUGENE P. CRYNE."

stalled? Or do you want to make this steam plant work? Do you wish me to take out all these defective parts and put in new and better ones and re-arrange the machinery a little so that 1t can resume work at full effectiveness and continue to go? Or do you wish me to leave it as 1t is, but merely patch it up here and there to get it started, even though 1t may break down again before the season is over? I can do this job any way you want. But must know what you want"
 Now then, what about this great national economic machine of ours? Clearly the people do not wish to scrap it and put in new plant - Communist, Fascist or Socialist. We want to use the existing machinery.
 But how long do we want that machinery to continue to go? Do we want to rearrange 1t little, take out old defective parts and put in new ones, make real repair job so that when the machinery starts it will continue to run at highest ef- fectiveness for an indefinite time? Or do we merely want to patch 1t, make few adjustments and get 1t started even though 1t may break down in a year or two or three - break down worse than ever?
 Tn 1883 the administration started its spending program. Any eco- nomist could have told it-and did tell it-that If this was kept up it would be called recovery. But any economist could and did warn 1t that it could not last more than three or four years. It lasted only three.
 It is now possible to produce that recovery again. The last one cost sixteen or seventeen billion dollars. Another such recovery can be pro- duced for about the same sum. But 1t will not last quite as long as the last one. This is what the admins tration IS now preparing to give us. But fear they are under -estimat- ing the cost. And that it will not be recovery any more than the last unhealthy upsurge was recovery.
 Business men, irked by govern ment taxes, spending, labor policies, regulation, want all this ended. Their theory is simple-let business alone, check the SEC, let Wall Street get busy, demobiliZe the NLRB, cut out capital gains taxes
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-19

and undivided profits taxes and watch the nation recover.
 If we do that the most we can hope for is repetition of what hap pened between 1924 and 1929. If business hopes are realized there will be 8 boom - immense railroad equipment orders, utility expansion, commercial and home building, enormous industrial rehabilitation. But it is certain that 1t will not last over four years. And then we will plunge into another depression far worse than this one. After all, MT. Hoover let business pretty well alone for three years and matters grew steadily worse.
 To sum it all up, we know that the plan of the President will not produce more than a few years release and that the plan of busi- ness will produce only a few years recovery" Both plans call for the kind of recovery which the factory owner asks the engi- neer to produce by patching up the defective parts and getting the machinery moving for sea- son or two as the prologue to an- other and worse breakdown. Be- tween these two programs - the

governments spending program and the private business program there is really not much to choose.
 And yet 1t is a profoundly dis turbing fact that what people now want is the patching process they want to get the machinery started somehow. And what is more, they want this patched-up machinery to grind out immea- surable abundance. The public mind has been utterly poisoned by the promise of abundancy- from Hoover who would end pow erty to Roosevelt who promised the abundant life for all.
 There is no use, therefore, in urging an overhauling of the ma chinery. The people will. not stand for it now. The mood for that was present in 1888; it was wasted; it is now gone.

The business to be taken up tonight includes the revision of the department policy and plans for summer program for men and boys and for women and girls. Due to the increased number of women taking part in the YMCA program it is necessary to alter the program slightly in order to make room for them.
