REBUILDING THE FORESTS

When the United States was sett-
led, it was probably the richest
country in the world in forest re-
sources. It's superb woodlands Gov
cred a great part of the nation. II
was easy in those days to obtain a
home. All the pioneer had to do was
TO go out in the woodlands with his
axe and cut down trees, and he had
the material for a dwelling which
cost him almost nothing in money
1t was rough and primitive, but the
pioneers were happy in those sim
pie old cabins.
Then in his ingenuity and re-
sOurcefulness, the pioneer built saw
mills, which converted his logs into
lumber. In his marvellous practical
ability, he gradually refined his pro-
cesses, until the homes instead of
rude log huts, became finished man
sions, and towns grew comfortable
and beautiful. Cheap lumber was one
Of the basic reasons for this growth.
It was a resource that was largely
lacking in Europe, where the refa-
tive scarcity of wood materials made
it necessary to depend largely on
stone and brick.
A good part of these forest re-
sources have been wasted. Forest
fires that rage over great tracts,
wasteful cutting in many instances,
the lack in former years of COM
prehensiye plan for reforestation,
have depleted our resources. The
material which was once so cheap
and abundant has grown scarcer.
adding to the cost of building. a |
home. This addition to building
costs in our country is one reason
why many people are out of work.
If our forests had been properly
conserved so that building costs
could be kept down. more people
would be building homes. and more
men would be at work. Every state
should be planting many trees and
taking care of the young forests
nov coming along, so that before
many years some new forest resour-
ces will have been created. j

FALL OF THE YEAR

September, October, November
are they months of sorrow for thu
summer that is gone, or of rejoic
ing for the results the past months
have brought us?
In the United States the mos
common name for this season is
the fall" When we say anyone had
a fall, it usually means misfortune
The historians tell about the DE
cline and Fall of the Roman EN-
pire," and it means decay and dis
Indignation. So a good many people
look at these months as a time of
deterioration. 1t makes them feel
sad to see the leaves dropping, fruit
rotting on the ground, flowers fad
ing, plants whitening. The world of
beauty in their thought is going to
pieces, nipped under the harsh
frosts of coming winter.
A perhaps better name for this
season is autumn" a favorite word
with poets. There is a harmony in
autumn. and a luster in its sky"
said Shelley. one of England's most
famous authors. It is a time of COM
pletion. of fruitage. of rewards for
hard labor.
The farmer and gardener has toll
ed faithfully through a hot summer.
with his spirit alternating between
hope and fear. Some days he felt
sure of a good crop and saw COM
fort and a happy winter. Then on
other days when the sun shone too
brightly, when the heavens seemed
bare of any rain, or when excessive
storms drowned out his suffering
plants, he felt all down and out, and
life seemed a failure. But when the
autumn days come, and the fields
bear more than he expected. the sun
shines again brightly. and he pre-
pares for winter in a mood of salts
faction.
Autumn brings a new tang in the
air, and brisk and sunshiny winds
and relief from the heats of summer
tell us to be up and doing. We can
no longer satisfy our conscience
with the idea that it is too hot to 1
work. If you can't do a days work

umn days. when will you be able

Members Of Local Club To Be Chosen
 As State Delegates
Reorganization Plans to Result in Change of Town Committee Personnel -Citys Delegations Greatly
 Increased By Vote Cast in l936 Elections

Haven County Young Democrats Currently, the local club is seeking to place the New Haven county Young Democrats. Currently, the local club is seeking to place the New Haven county convention al Waterbury and members of the ex- ecutive committee of the county or ganization are holding meeting here soon to select the state con- vention site.
 Thus, reports of factionalism within the Dem > ;atic party ranks were laid at rest today. That such division exists in the Independent Democratic ranks has been admitted by members of three factions within that party during the last several weeks. The feud over control of the Independent Democratic command appears to observers to have nc bearing on the general harmony of the regular Democratic party in Waterbury.
 Delegates
 Recognition of the younger ele- ment of the Democratic party at the town committee meeting next week is expected to result in naming of Young Democrats to the town com mittee, as well as offering them op- portunity to choose delegates to the conventions. Also, there will be recognition in the makeup of the primary lists.
 Evidence that the Young Demo- crats are assuming important place in affairs of the party in the state was the presence recently of Gov ernor Wilbur L. Cross at a confer ence at Hartford with the executive council of the state organiza tion The governor will be guest of honor tomorrow night at the meeting of the Fairfield County Young Demo- crats, it has been announced.
 That the increase in Waterbury's delegations to the various conven- tionS would include members from the younger units of the party was understood to be consideration ar- ranged some time ago at conferences between the local Democratic lead CTS and the Young Democrats. Re- gently, there haveen further con- ferences and complete harmony has been established between the town charman and the younger groups
 19,000 Votes
 This was true, of course, at the time of the last election when the Democrats boiled more than 19,OOC votes to defeat, in most instances the combined forces of the Repub- licans and the Independent Demo- crats, the former polling 14,OOO plus the latter faction, 4,60O. But furthe, recognition has been sought for some time and the results of the meeting of the Democratic town committed next week are expected to be far reaching in solidifying all groups of the party into a potent solidarity

Monday, July 18, the Central Va cation school, under the auspices of the Waterbury Coupcil of Churches will open in the First Baptist church. Boys and girls between the ages of and IA are eligible to join the group who will be given two weeks of directed activities in the cool, pleasant atmosphere of the church under capable leaders.

 rhe town chairman explained further that there will be an en- larged representation of Waterbury de, egates at several of the conven- tions, due to the heavy vote majority po'led in Waterbury for the Demo- cratic candidates in the national and state elections in 1886. Formerly the representation to four conventions, namely, state, congressional, shriev- ally and probate, numbered 36 from Waterbury. This fall there will be 45 delegates, to be chosen by the 29 delegates to the town convention.
 This will mean that about 40 new delegates from Waterbury may be added and this, according to Chair man Crary will allow for recogni- tiosl of Democratic groups of the younger element as sought by these units for some time. The town chair man was specific in his reference to the Young Democrats, remarking that the party has recognized the work done by the younger element but heretofore the memberships both of the committee and the dele gations to the various conventions have been at minimum figure, al- lowing fewer changes than would have been the case under the pres ent increase indistrict representa- tion

 Pointing to the extension of membership in the committee by the enlargement of the number of vot- districts from 20 to 32, Chairman John H. Crary remarked today that the 12 additional members will not constitute the extent of the changes under consideration.
