Honesty may be is own reward,
but the meanest man in town has
been located. Coming home from
school one day last week, nine
year-old Roy Williams stopped to
pick up an envelope lying on the
sidewalk. On its face were a name
and an address. Inside were $51 in
crisp bills.
His little heart beating swiftly
with the thrill of his find, Roy
turned aside his footsteps and 60
ing many block out of his way
sought out the owner. On his way
he pictured the joy with which
he would be met by the owners
of such an amount at this time
of the year. Finally he reached the
address he was looking for and
mounted the steps to rap on the
door. A surly individual answered
the rap. rs Mr.. ...-..... at this
address 2" Roy inquired politely.
yeah, I'm Mister ......" the
surly one replied.
Well" said Roy, producing the
envelope, did you lose this ?"
why, yes" exclaimed the man
whom Roy had walked far to find.
He took the envelope from the
child. ''Er-ah- Thanksl" he add
ed as an afterthought, and shut
the door. AND SHUT THE DOOR.

Mental Hygiene Society Appeals
 For Future Happiness Of Riddles!

losis or cancer. The patients in mental hospitals fill more beds than patients from all other dis eases put together. There are D. 900 in Connecticut alone. These patients, most of them, are being cared for at your expense, as a taxpayer. It is an appalling sit uation. The Connecticut Society for Mental Hygiene was started in 1908-just thirty year ago-to help combat this dreaded disease. It has six branches of which Wa terbury is one. The other five are in New Haven, Hartford, Bridge port, Stamford and New Britain. There are now similar societies in most of the states of the union, under the leadership of notional society with headquarters in New York. In addition there is an in- ternational committee and socie- ties have been formed in Canada, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The Waterbury Society for Mental Hygiene is part of a worldwide movement organized t oprvent mental disease and to improve the care of those who are already mentally i'll. The child guidance clinic here in Waterbury is very small-so small, it can hardly claim the name of "clinic." But the preventive work it is or ganized to do is of enormous inn portance. It could reach more children and do a better job if you would contribute to it's support.
 What else does the Waterbury Society for Mental Hygiene do?
 The Waterbury Society for Men tai Hygiene endeavors to give some sort of educational program each year, Psychiatry is the youngest branch on the tree of medicine and many people still know very little about it. Interest in this subject is widespread and knowl- edge is increasing through fre- quent magazine articles and books. Child-study groups are popular in this country and professional groups of all kinds are recognizing the value and importance of men, tai hygiene and psychology.
 This year the educational pro- gram of the Waterbury Society for Mental Hygiene is centered around the subject of Juvenile De- linquency. A statewide survey is being made of conditions which cause and prevent juvenile de- linquency. Mental hygiene is in- terested in the child before he gets to the Juvenile Court, and in try ing. if possible to prevent his ever getting there. A series of meet ings on this subject will be held this winter. Dr. Lawson G. Lowrie of New York will address the first meeting of this series at the Waterbury Medical association building, 54 Central avenue, on Thursday, January 5th at SIS p. m. There will be no charge for admission and the public is cor dially invited to attend.

 Observations On Visit to Hartford

The state prison at Wethersfield has cooperated with the department in allowing .merchandise to be stored there whereby the depart ment may purchase in carload lots and have the goods shipped directly to Wethersfield for storage. A con- siderable saving is noticed in the buying of case lots which are pllr- chased through the prison which in turn resells to institutions in the quantities required. This applies mostly to fabrics, flour, etc. Prison trucks deliver the items and the prison is allowed a handling and de- livery charge and yet the final cost to the other institutions is consid- erably less.
 In accordance with centralized purchasing of meats and allied pro- visions, an inspector of meats has been appointed who regularly irl- spects all meats purchased for the state agencies thereby irlsuring a good quality of merchandise.
 Inmate labor at institutions is also aided by the departments as use is made of the printing plants at the reformatory in Cheshire, School for Boys in Meriden, and the state prison in Wethersf1eld. By the use of the institutions facilities ein- ployment is supplied for the inmates and additional savings for the state are noted. The Cheshire reforr1a- tory furnishes registration plates to the Motor Vehicle department and the prison manufactures signs and concrete posts for the highway de- partment.
 Prompt Payments
 A large amount is saved annually by the department by the prompt payment of invoices thereby receiV- ing discount and a total of thou- sands of dollars is saved by the de- pertinent.
 Representatives of the League of Women Voters gathered wealth of material during their visit and re- alized that a great amount of work was being accomplished by the var ious departments which was most necessary for the general mainten- ance of welfare groups.

The opportunity to bring some thing more than seasonal cheer into the hearts of young chil- dren of Waterbury is now offered to all Waterburians.
 A donation to the clinic fund of the Waterbury Mental Hygiene society to enable it to carry on its magnificent work freeing children of mental handicaps and starting them on life's highway with fresh courage should appeal to many as an ideal Christmas gift to the children of the community.
 Working under expert medical direction and in full cooperation with the Visiting Nurses associa- tion, the Children's Community center, the Diocesan bureau, the juvenile court and other agencies the Waterbury Mental Hygiene seeks. but the financial wherewith to give to Waterbury families the full benefits of its program of &C., tivities.
