RADIANT LIVING
The Port of DislllusiOnment
BY Rev. c.. NJ. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor OF
Deals Island. Md.

OF the many ports of call for
which men sail over the sea- of life,
the most popular seems to be the
Port Of Money. 1t is a port that
promises much to those who arrive
within its harbor.
1t is with high hopes that all sail
for this port. expecting upon arrival
to bask in its supposed beguiling
luxuries and to be charmed by its
intriging destinations.
But instead of finding It to be a
place of pleasurable relaxation and
of happy contentment. the few who
have arrived have discovered IL to
be place that is swept by a pecu-
liar plague which shrinks the heart
and spreads over it an icy cOldness.
They will tell you that they have
found the place to be infested with
hot fevers or personal animosities
and soul killing rivalries and gnaw-
ing bitterness. They will tell you
that it has proven itself to be a
place that is cursed by robbery, muir
der and suicide. They will tell you
that il is a place where there is no
rest from crushing burdens; a place
where not one single sincere friend /
can be found.
The Port of Money is indeed a port
Of diSillusiOnment. II is a condition /
that may be described as a bound /
less desolation. a dreary solitude. a
place where tediously constructed
plans suddenly crumble down into
ruin. where expected joys fade like
willing flowers. where anticipated
pleasures deteriorate into gnawing
pains of disappointment. where hop
ID for glory turns out to be but
gilt that vaguely covers
he vanity of it all.
Declares Eccelsiastes: IL gather
d me also silver and gold. and the
,eculiar treasure of kings -. and
'ehOld. all was vanity and vexatiOn
f spirit
One of the wisest observers of hui
nan life was Benjamin Franklin.
declared he: Money never made .
ian happy yet. nor will it. Instead
+ filling a vacuum. II makes one"
To this adds Fielding. novelist '
f the early 18th century: Make {
loney your god. and il will plague :
OH like the devil"

General Robert e. Wood, Presi-
dent of Sears, Roebuck and Com
pany, has given simple explana-
tion OF why his company is selling
the Hercules Life insurance COM
pany Of Chicago" says the New York
Journal of Commerce. 1--WE can't
sell life insurance from a catalogue
he said. This statement is one of
the strongest endorsements Of the
agency system of selling life insur-
ance ever uttered"
The average life insurance buyer
looks to his agent for the knowledge
and advice that will provide the
right kind of insurance, at a cost TO
fit his budget. 1t is the agency sys-
TEN that has given America the lar
gest amount of life Insurance owned
by the people of any nation. Period
ically we hear criticism of the agen-
cy system and suggestions for sup
planting it with other systems. But
the agency system keeps right on
going ahead-because II works.

SMEDLEY FEARS FOR KOPPLEMANN
Local Lawyer Afraid Con. gressman May Lose in
 Double Try for HOnors

Representative Herman P. Kop- plemann of the first district is needed in congress and should be in the senate, Frederic c. Smedley. prominent Waterbury attorney and leading peace advocate. declares in a letter he has sent the congress man.
 The only event more unfortunate than failing to capture the sena- torial nomination, says Smedley, would be losing the congressional nomination in the trying.
 T have noted with great inter est" Smedley wrote to the con- gressman even before Kopplemann had decided to seek the senatorial nomination, "various accounts in the press to the effect that you are being boomed as a candidate for the senate to oppose Senator Lonergan in the primaries.
 T would be very happy to have an opportunity to vote for you for senator, but at the same time I hope that it will be possible for you to make the fight and still run for your present office in case you should be unsuccessful, as I would hate not to have you in either house of congress"
 Since the congressional conven- tion will be held after the state convention, Congressman Kopple- mann may still be nominated for a fourth term in the lower house, should he not succeed in obtaining the senatorial nomination.

s Chairman J. Warren Upson be- kanne "boss" in fact of the Republi- can party in Waterbury last night when the town committee, num- bering several whose support was charged part of a deal for jobs, endorsed his leadership. On motion of John J. Bergin, Rowland asso- ciate, lauding of progress of the party was made part of the minutes with Boss" Upson taking a bow and returning the floral tributes in the form of, more whole-hearted support than any chairman in many years"
 But the undercurrent of protest reached definite expression from such members as Alderman George l.. Kingston, Republican leader, and Committeeman William Christian, attacking the new rules said, in part:
 One-Man Setup
 "The new rules now make it a one-man committee. It is poor gratitude to the town committee members who have spent time and money for years to take way from them even the honor of selecting Che delegates. Any town committee member who will sell himself for the promise of a job shouldn't serve on the committee"
 Thus. over the general protest of those Republicans who have sought through the years the smaller dis tricts to make for cleaner elections, minimize frauds" the Upson Taller Registrar of Voters Albert o. Fal- ler) clique of town committee mem bers and officers chugged through on the steam-roller of political Considerations. Out in the cold of inactive part in Republican affairs are several thousand of the 5000 Republicans registered on the prim- ary list
 But not one of these, in the face of the connivings of the Upson- Taller clique, went to bat with def mite proposal that the chairman call another town convention - or else. It was hinted that the special meeting was for such purpose. Speakers made gentle mention of the meetings purpose" one and another denying that the busting of Upson had been their intention i-juEt a change in the new rules

WORKERS SEEK
 PRIMARY LISTS
Both Republicans, Demo. crats Anticipate Pre-
 Election Battle Here

Office of the Registrars of Voters was busy to day with numerous calls for copies of the primary lists, just returned from the printers, most of these from members of political clubs who contemplate at- tempting upset of Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson's "one- man party, as the new-rule set-up was described by some town com mitteemen at meeting last night.
 Some observers attribute the unpre- cedent demand to the battle that is seemingly brewing in Democratic ranks.
 Also, the registrars were re-ar- ranging office equipment prepara- tory to the busy period which pre- cedes and accompanies political events of the next months through the elections.
 Estimating cost of various factions entering primaries in party disputes, an official remarked that to enter the Democratic primary probably would cost in the neighborhood of $5 ,000, counting all costs, related and extraneous. The Republican pri- mary fight which has been threat ened by the racial groups will re- quire submission of only $10 with each list of delegates from each of the 32 districts, as against $25 in the Democratic rules.
 Mailing costs in the respective primaries, should they develop, would be in the proportion of 22,000 to 5000, taking the numbers listed on the Democratic primary list and the Re- publican, respectively.
