Library Notes
BY MRS. CHESs1E NEAL,
Librarian Of Ashe Public Library

We received sixteen new books
from the state library last week.
Some of them right off the press.
But this fine weather is so tempting
to all who can get out and there is
not the usual amount of reading go
ing on.
The bad cold days and long even
ings ahead of us will find apprecia-
tive readers for the new books
which are, loaned JUS until January.
Among those received are Mary
Robert Rhinehart's last mystery
story, "The Wall" The setting is
in summer resort on the coast OF
Maine. 'Heartbroken Melody" by
Kathleen Norris runs true to form.
Murder in Newport" by Gerard
B. Lambert and "Guiltedged Guilt
by Carolyn Wells, are all what can
be desired in detective stories. "Wat-
erway," by Eleanor Dark and Seek
No Further" by Constance Robert
son are to be taken up when one is
in mood for serious reading.
We hear on the radio that at
long last" Gone with the Wind
is ready for the filming to begin,
but as yet it has not been made pub
lie as to who will take the character
parts, except that Clark Gable will
be Rhett Butler.
This summer in Birmingham, Ala
bama, three judges listened to
young women and young men from
Georgia and Alabama read a chap
ter from Gone with the Wind" with
the intentions of selecting the one
with the best southern accents to
go to Hollywood and teach the
ones for the film to talk" like them.
1t is to be hoped that the southern
accent won't be too pronounced as
is usually the case when a non
southerners take it up.
AS the film is to be in technicolor
and if the war scenes are to be de-
picted it will surely be marvellous
picture.

ing, reporting all disorder from
children riding on the bus, assisting
in keeping the children in their own
seats, calling the drivers attention
to the necessity of blowing his horn
or using the stop signal and so on.
The system was started last
Thursday morning by an appropri-
ate and impressive chapel ceremony
at which time the monitors were
installed into office, instructed as
to their duties and given red flags
made by the home economics STU
dents.
! It is already producing results.

Huge Spending In
u. S. Is Expected
Nations Plans For Re-Arma-
ment To Provide Stimulus
For Spending Program.

The same business leaders who
accurately forecast President Roose-
velt's billion dollar rearmament
plan a week in advance estimated
today the program would stimulate
industrial spending of at least S.
600, 100000 additional during the
next Is months.
The board plans now being work
ed out in conferences between bust
ness executives and government Off
Gals, they said, were designed to
boone the dominating factor in the
recovery picture.
The huge scope of the program,
they added, was not yet fully rea-
lized by the country at large.
The executives spoke candidly-
as they did eight days ago in pre-
dieting the Presidents program
under pledge that they would not
be identified.
The rearmament program viewed
economically, they explained, marks
a basic change in the governments
recovery program, a switch on en-
phasis-which many business lead
ers have long sought-from con-
sumner goods to heavy industry.
A fundamental goal will be the
removal from WPA payrolls to gain
jor portion of the unemployed by
the end of the period-in 1910.

Grand JuryResunes;
 Healey To Surrender
(Continued from Page D

Tor Governor Cross said that he would consider reappointment in the event the court grants acquitals.
 Daly, Lawlor and Thoms, are ex- pected to be arrested next week along with Rep. Daniel F. B. Hickey of Stamford and former Senator Nathan Spiro of Danbury on charges of corrupt lobbying.
 Only Phil Coppeto, head of the Abrigador Diggers and Enoch E. Borgnaes, New York auditor are be- ing sought now by the Alcorn men, with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the police of 48 states. A member of the Alcorn staff said this morning that no word has been received from either. Bonds have been set in the Coppeto case at $25, 900 and for Borg naes, $10,000.
 One source has reiterated that Coppeto will surrender here within a short time, but no word has been received with reference to BorgnaeS.
 Juryman Confused
 One grand juryman was confused today as to whether he was to start sessions at 10 a. m. or D. m. He arrived at the courthouse at 10 a. in, but left after being informed that the session would not start until 2 o'clock.
 Senator Daly's resignation was in part, to the governor:
 "Your friendship I value and esteem and I would not do anything that might cause you or the party we represent embarrassment or criticism by those who have already passed judgment without affording me hearing.
 However, l stand before my God, the people of this state and you, in- nocent of any wrongful act, and will, at the proper time and place, prove to the satisfaction of every fair minded person that I never had any agreement or understanding in con- nection with the persons, stock or company referred to in said (extra- ordinary grand jury) report.
 My record in the service of the federal government, the services of this state, the city of New Haven and the office of county commis- sioner is without blemish, but in view of the unWarranted inferences in the report, I humbly bow to your wishes and tender herewith my resignation as county commis- Sioner."
 The governor replied:
 Taking all things into considera- tion, I feel that you have done the right thing in rendering your resig- nation. dated May 31, 1888, as coun- ty commissioner from New Haven county. I trust that you will be vim dicated by the court"

Lone Ciuil War Veteran Giuen
 Affecti0nate Public Greeting
Parade of Veterans One of Largest in Years;
 EulOgies Given

The annual Memorial Day parade and services yesterday climaxed a weekend of tribute to the war dead of Waterbury. Large crowds lined the streets along the line of march of the parade, and saw more than 1000 paraders pass by.
 Rev. Francis M. OShea sang the annual memorial mass for the city's war dead at the Church of the Im- maculate Conception at o'clock. Delegations from all the city's vet erans' organizations and their aux diaries attended tne services.
 Memorial Services
 The parade was organized after the memorial mass, and passed through several of the principal streets of the city. Memorial exer- cises were held at the Soldiers and Sailors monument at the west end of the Green, at the Freight street bridge, and at the honor roll in Library Park.
 Prayers for peace were urged by Rev. J. Oliver Cronan assistant pastor of St. Margaret's church, in the principal address at the honor roll services. Peace, he said, is the wish of the American people, and they arc united against war of any kind. Tribute should be paid, he said, not only to those who fought in Amer ica's wars, but to the others who made sacrifices at home.
 The invocation was delivered by Rev. Roger B. T. Anderson of Trim ity church, and the benediction was given by Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf. Commander William T. Harrington of Corporal Coyle Post, American Legion, introduced the speakers. Wreaths were placed at the foot Of the honor roll.
 The courage of the men in the ranks was praised by Rev. w. More ton Owen, pastor emeritus of the Bunker Hill Congregational church, at the exercises for the Spanish war dead at the Freight street bridge. Praise, he said, is freely given the leaders and publicized heroes, but it should go as well to those who faith fully performed their duties. The in vocation was delivered by Albert Portman, quartermaster of Emerson Liscum Camp, Spanish War Veter- ans. A wreath was dropped into the Naugatuck river.
 At the exercises at the Soldiers and Sailors monument, Rev. Samuel c. Johnson of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, declared that all Americans should unite in seeking to secure even greater patriotism and loyalty.

 Casper Davis
 Speaking at the flag raising cere- monies at Waterville yesterday, sponsored by Casper Davis post, American Legion, Walter L.

because the controller was told oy some student of the city charter that only $200 could be paid for any sim tar civic enterprise.
 Leaders To Speak
 Capt. Thomas E. White. general chairman of the Memorial Day committee and past commander of the Spanish h-American War Veter- ans, and other leaders of patriotic bodies will appear to seek some method of payment for the expense they have incurred to give tribute to Waterbury's dead heroes, the sol- diers of '61, the soldiers of '98. There will be explained to the Republican majority on the board, who went into office with Controller Rowland, that the city's financial manager failed to find cause to cut the ex- pense for the flowers and flags until such time as it was impossible to proceed unless the commitments of committees were fulfilled; after flowers had been bought and placed on graves; and then, Controller Rowland offered $25 out of his own pocket" Gas he did in the case of William J. Armstrong, expert &C., countant. who, it turned out, was paid by various Republicans, includ- ing publisher, to instruct the con- troller in the primary requisites of his office.)

 Captain Peter Fox was parade marshal. Leading the parade were a police escort, reserve officers, Full tons American band and 8 large group of national guardsmen.
 The second division was led by Captain Franklin White, and in- cluded MT. Porter, the Gold Star Mothers and members of the Wad- hams Relief Corps.

 The fourth division was led by Da- vid Babson, local Boy Scout execu- tive, and consisted of several hun- dred Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
 At the City Hall the parade was reviewed by Alderman Patrick Per. riello, Controller Sherwood Rowland city officials and civilian leaders.
 Gold Star Mothers
 Following the parade, seven Gold Star Mothers were honored at a re- ception given by Wadhams Camp Sons of Union Veterans. The guests were: Mrs. Ellen FalloWell, Mrs. Elizabeth Cunningham, Mrs. D. F. Dunn, Mrs. Mary Phelan, Mrs. Mary Mellon, Mrs. Julia Conklin and Mrs Mary Saunders.

Controller Rowland, at great length, following the story of his actual treatment of the patri- otic organizations which appeared in the Democrat Saturday, offered $25 from my own pocket" to take care of his last-minute finding" which followed by a month his agreement to pay the bills as pre- sented to his office.
 Patriotic organizations through out the city were aroused by the failure of the controller to make known 'hls mind" at a time reas- enable enough to allow other ar engagements if the city was unable to pay" the sum set forth in the budget. So, tonight's meeting may hold different aspect rom other al- dermanic gatherings this year when the only Republican office-holder will be subject of a popular move ment seeking reprieve from his latest charter" economy.

 far toward determining the fate Of the Chinese capital.
 Far to the south there were indi- cations that the Japanese were plan- ming an attack on Canton where four days of aerial bombardment have cost close to 1000 Chinese dead and 5000 wounded. A change in the tactics of the raiding planes prompt ed some observers to believe they were piloted not by Japanese but by European flyers. Japanese troops meanwhile were reported moving to- ward a drive on the canton area where they would be likely to come into grave conflict with British in- terests in South China.
 Elsewhere:
 Spain - Loyalist armies defend- ing the road to Valencia yielded ground slowly to rebel troops ad- vancing from Teruel to the Mediter- ranean. The rebels, surrounding Mora De Rubielos, key city in the government defense line, reported that some 60,000 loyalists troops were almost caught in an encircling move ment. Airplanes and artillery again struck at the Loyalist Centers of Barcelona and Madrid but without causing much damage.
 London Britain vigorously pro- tested to Spain's rebel general, Fran cisco Franco, against the deliberate" sinking of the British steamship ThorpehalI in Valencia Harbor and demanded strong disciplinary action against the responsible pilots. A French freighter was reported hit in the raid and the French govern ment also protested the rebel bomb ing of the frontier town of Cerbere last week.
 Prague The Czechoslovakian government continued its negotia- tions with minority leaders, par ticularly Nazis, in an effort toward peaceful solution of their quarrel, but without definite progress. Both sides interpreted Sundays municipal elections as strengthening their posi- tionS.
 Berlin - Nazi newspapers strongly criticized the Czechs for continued concentration of troops in the Sude- tenn German frontier area and charged that the action was tanta- to influence voters. The statement mount to a state of siege" intended last weekend of United States Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull calling at- tention of European nations to their anti-ward signatures also was criti- cized on the grounds that tot should have been dericted chiefly to Prague.
