 Weekly Payments

"Joe" Nolan B o y h o o d Friend Mourns Death of Popular Hamil-
 ton Avenue
 Resident
(BY THE OUT EASTER)

\oA 411G OC \ Gf1O AGAND
 We of Old Out East felt sorry when we learned of the death of Joseph J. Nolan of PAS Hamilton avenue. Why shouldn't we feel that way.
 Joe and ourselves had been friends for these many years, yes, practically since boyhood days. We grew up together; we talked to- gether; we went places together, and we enjoyed ourselves together. Therefore, we think we had a fair ly good insight into the life of Joe Nolan.
 Dublin Street"
 Joe's young days were spent in old Dublin Street, before the new fancied name of Hamilton avenue was officially applied. Old Dublin street was then made up of fine old Irish families, every one of which owned the premises on which they lived We could men. tion every family, II we so desired. The friendly family relations, the old time feeling of neighborly love, and the interest in the welfare of one another constituted important factors in the life and makeup of the people of that day.
 Young Joe Nolan witnessed all of this; he remembered these good people, and as he grew along to manhood seemed to grasp the mo- ticeable traits and outstanding deeds on the part of the old time residents. It was this atmosphere of good living that made Joe one of the best of our citizens. Ask the ones who did business with him; they'll tell you in all of their deal- ings, they found him to be about as honest and as straight an indi- vidual as they had ever met.
 Admirable Traits
 We don't deny our friendship for the man, in fact we somewhat gloat over 1t. In these latter years we did not meet him as much as we did in days gone by, but we could never forget him. He was kind, considerate, and proud of the advancement of those he met long ago. He seemed to swell up with much pride as he often re- lated the accomplishments of those he had known and mingled with, a trait that seems lacking in some people of today.
 Joe Nolan is dead; we shall never see him again, but we have just reason to have his memory finger long with us.
 The old Dublin street railroad station or the Meriden and Water bury Railroad was an attraction that appealed to many of us. Joe was always along, when we went to Meriden for what we then thought was Hong trip" The railroad men made him their er- rand boy upon numerous occa- sions, as they did to others among Us, but none of US seemed to en- joy the confidence or popularity of Young Joe Nolan.
 Death Untimely
 Death plucked him too early.
 His good life, 1t seemed to us, entitled him to stay around for a number of years yet.
 He had been in the grocery bus mess on Hamilton avenue 1t would appear, almost since he left Fen ner'S small Department store on South Main street some years back.
 His fine family and a host ot friends will surely miss him.

SMITH FORESEES LIBERAL COURT
Halls Resignation of Jus= tice Sutherland as Fore
 runner to New Setup
Special to The DemOcrat)


 Washington, Jan. 6-Cong. J. Jo- seph Smith, of Waterbury, today hailed the resignation of Justice George erland from the Supreme Court bench as a consider able factor in liberalization of the country's highest judiciary depart ment. He saw the passing of Justice Sutherland, conservative, as giving the already preponderantly liberal membership of the court such makeup as to eliminate further at tempt by the President to increase the court number as was previously planned.
 The appointment of a successor to the justice appointed by Presi- dent Harding in 1922, will SC another liberal joining the bench, it was said, and will result in a "moderni- zation" of the high court which is expected to affect a multitude of rulings on current legislation.
