Salesmanship--
How about buying a sack OF
peanuts?"
William Ashbrook, a youngster
who couldn't have been more than
10, fired that question again and
again Thursday night while selling
his wares at the amateur fights.
His replies to sales resistance left
some of the valleys best politicians
speechleSS. One answered:
Sorry, but l have false teeth
and l can't chew nuts"
Fine" replied the boy. Here's
some soda pop
Another evaded the soda pop
with a firm refusal, but the boy,
undaunted, played an ace when he
said:
THE young lady looks as though
she would want some!" He bought.
That Face Again
kdella IraVers will never know
the trouble she caused by having
her pretty face in photograph
taken by PoSt-PreSs photographer
at the Rotary party. Every one of
more than a score questioned re-
membered her face but not her
name and the reporter who wanted
to write outlines was almost frantic
before John Kepley finally gave
the tip eff
Now, had RR been at the party!
o
Memory Fades
Is memors' SO short that only a
few years dim the recollection of
summers heat in Imperial Valley?
There must be something to it.
because Katherine (Katie) Weiss,
who moved to San Francisco to
live, was back in the valley Friday
on a vacation and she had appar-
emily forgotten that May in the
valley is summer time.
With San Francisco clothes on,
her life is just one long search for
another drinking fountain.
What Is It?-
The significance of this note to
RR that came through the mails
is somewhat obscure, but perhaps
the readers can figure it out:
LAS a newcomer, dote on your
different ways. For instance, up
north our men still have the old
alibi about sitting up with a sick
friend. Down here 1 was told of a
man who stayed out in the desert
with sick" truck. Just an old
Spanish excuse, I presume. The
signature is 'Raylee".
Now you know as much as we do.
Quick Delivery
Helpfulness, thy name is Bill
Strickland. Bill heard friend
wanted gopher for a pet. Bill had
no gophers, but he could catch
toadS, so he delivered two big toads
on the theory that two toads equal
one gopher.
Hope no one ever mentions that
he wants baby elephant!

Brightwood Citizens
Advocate Taxes
For Relief
Repeal Of Privilege,
Personal Property
levies Fuvored

imposition of taxes to be collected
and earmarked solely for public
relief was recommended last night
at meeting of the Brightwood Citi-
Gems Association in the Paul Junior
High School.
William NICK. Clayton presented
the resolution covering the tax sit
uation.
Abrogation of the so-called busi-
ness privilege tax and repeal Of the
present personal property tax also
were among the recommendations
approved. The resolution favored
an amusement tax, luxury tax and
also a tax on tobacco, while it was
proposed to increase the tax on
beer, wines and hard liquors.
Income and sales taxes should be
considered only on the basis of no
exemptions on either class, accord
ing to the resolution. The resolu-
ton also provided that a home
stead exemption law be enacted, the
minimum exemption to be $4,000 on
oAA Wv SAAAA1Go oSSdPACo Wy
a home-owner or his family as q

1--WE believe income taxes should
remain the exclusive prerogative Of
the National Government" stated
the resolution.
President Charles w. Ray ap-
pointed Mr. Clayton, Elmer johnson
and George r. Wilhelm to repre-
sent the association at the public
hearing December 20 on pedestrian
control.
The meeting concluded with an
address by H. H. Douglas, repre-
senting the American Congress for
Peace and Democracy, to be held
at the Rialto Theater January 6-8.
The object of the organization is to
seek to maintain peace in all coun-
tries of the world and oppose Fas-
cism which, according to the speak
er, is threatening civilization and
democracy.

Harmonizing State Laws

The public needs to know more about the work of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. Composed of three members from each state, this group, year after year, studies the great mass of statutes with the pur- pose of sitting out those which conflict and drafting uniform laws on matters of more than local importance.
 Among the laws studied at the current sessions of the conference are those on real estate mortgages, insurance regula- tion, survival of tort actions, death by wrongful act, house-trailer regulation and the aeronautical codes Marriage and divorce laws are also recognized as greatly needing uniformity, but they were omitted from the program because of the recognized difficulty of reconciling tsate differences at this time.
 Alexander Armstrong, president of the Conference, opened the recent meeting with a strong plea for more action in put ting over the body's recommendations we spend years in drafting acts," he said, land then in many instances do nothing whatever to present them to the legislatures of our states and secure their adoption" The job is one which greatly needs doing and in which progress is in- evitably slow Yet the commissioners themselves might well do more to educate the public and spur the forty-eight legls- latures to agreement.

Not New Plan

There was some discussion last week by the Fairfield County Planning Associa- tion of new state park in the Housatonic river valley. Several years ago mention of this was first heard in various circles. An effort was made to push a bill through the Legislature guaranteeing the pur- chase of vast rights of way on each side of the river for many miles up and down stream. For this state to do this it would be tremendous task and one demanding expenditure of thousands of dollars. We're not pessimistic, but we do like to face all the facts.
 It would be fine if the state had started to develop areas along the Housatonlc river It is unfortunate, perhaps, that vast areas along natural watercourses weren't acquired by the state years ago, but no one evidently toresaw the day when they would be in such demand for public use. And even if the state did get the idea, it would have found plenty of competition from public utilities and private individuals, engaged for many years in securing the best water sites and rights possible.
 It may still be possible to develop the Housatonic river valley along the line that most planning organizations encour- age. If so it certainly would acquire the combined efforts of Litchfield and Fair field counties to secure the desired re- suits. Something along this line would be encouraging to other parts of the state. Even our own Naugatuck valley might have it's face lifted. Who knows?

Rising Tide

The ebbing tide of business, according to evidence on all sides, has definitely turned. It is particularly noticeable in the industrial communities, which were harder hit than others by the latest slump The most convincing proof is the growing unemployment. Steel, textiles, shoes, glass, automobiles and accessories, building, all show it. There is no rush back to work, but steady trickle almost everywhere. It is the first upward turn iE nearly year.
 This is especially convincing because June and July are usually months of business decline. When activity can rise against normal summer stagnation, and in the face of congressional election in- volving issues that business men gener- ally have been viewing with alarm, there must be some force at work more power full than weather. politics and business precedent combined
 Government spending, no doubt, has something to do with it, but can hardly

Willard who has held the post now for quite few years. Right-hand man to J. Henry Roraback during most of the time he was secretary Mr. Willard is not done yet with his of- ficial responsibilities in the Republican party. He will very likely be strong fa- vorite to succeed himself as state central committeeman from his district in New Haven. He's securing endorsements of va rious groups and individuals. It remains to be seen if this strength can be trans mitted to the central committee when it meets for organization purposes And when it does it will be confronted not merely with the spectacle of MT.

 Luck runs in streaks as far as Jim Farley is concerned. A year ago, Jim was contemplating re- tirement from the cabinet in or- der to recoup his personal fortune adn has tentatively accepted a job to head the reorganized Pierce Arrow automobile firm.
 But the stock market slump made Pierce-Arrow's reorganiza- tion impossible, and Jim decided to eke out his cabinet salary by selling his memoirs.
 Now his luck has turned the other way again. Not only are his memoirs netting him juicy royalty, but the stock. market has shot up, and one stock which has experienced meteo- ric rise is that of Jim's old firm, United States Gypsum.
 NOTE-Before he got into poli- tics, Jim used to be known as the Nreatset gypsum salesman in the USA.
