With the long driving Mrs. Char
lotte Stern of Indian Spring, re-
placing Mrs. George Hussey on the

that faces a Philadelphia team
over the testing course of Over

strength and confident of victory.
Mrs. Stern, an original choice for
the team, reconsidered her deci-
sion not to compete when Mrs.
Hussey suffered family bereave-
ment.
Mrs. Ralph w. Payne, president
of the Women's District OF Column
bia Golf Association, and Mrs.
N. ]. Waldron, team captain ex-
pressed their confidence in the
ability of the District women to
win.
Perhaps the optimism of the

by the fact that Mrs. Glenna Col

seven times national champion,
will not represent Philadelphia.
Mrs. Ware is reported out OF the
city.

Arizona's 400 Years

Arizona, which has had statehood only since 1912, is planning to devote all of next year to celebrating it's cuatro- centennial. It is the Tooth anniversary of the coming of the first white man into that part of the United States. He was Franciscan missionary named Marcos de Niza, and he assisted historians and future Arizonians by engraving his sig nature and the date - May 3, 1539 - on a rock in what is now known as Pima Canyon, in Phoenix Moutain Park The engraving is still legible today
 We hope Arizona attracts lot of at tention and many visitors with it's cele- brations, in which communities through out the state are participating. Ameri- can history books used to devote so many chapters to the settlement of the thirteen colonies along the eastern seaboard, and the slow spread westward from there, that there never was much time left in a school year to learn about the very early explor- ing and settling done by Spanish and French priests and missionaries in the West. They, too, are worth studying.
 The pattern of American history is rich and varied. It is we'll now if we take time to pay more attention to some of it's formerly neglected threads

Would He Have Vetoed It?

Republican aldermen are reported as saying that they hesitated to make or recommend certain reductions in the 1889 city budget, which would have produced a 35 mill tax reduction, on the grounds that Mayor Frank Hayes would have vetoed such reformed budget. We won- der if these same aldermen have more than mere suspicion to back up any such stand, for they certainly need more than that to convince the average person that they weren't willing to accept the Board of Finance figures and let it go at that. although they did want to save their own faces.
 We are not making charges or accuSa- tions, but certainly if the aldermen thought that changes should be made in the budget, they should have pro- ceeded to make them. If they were war ranted and not just mere slaShes for the sake of slashing public opinion would have supported them and we don't think that Mayor Hayes would have gone over their action. The idea that an increased taxrate is pleasing to the Hayes admin istration should be dispelled immediately They certainly don't desire it any more than you or do.
 With everybody pretty generally agreed that Waterbury's civic government must operate as economically as it can in 1889 we confess that we don't agree with those critics who claim that the new budget was drawn up with much brazenness and almost complete disregard for the public. Two bodies of officials, one elective, one appointive, have gone over and over the figures. If they failed to produce per- feet result, we don't see how throwing the problem to the public would be of any aid. And fear of a veto does not excuse direct action. We're sceptical of this story as so much propaganda.

Fears Dissipated

New Britain residents in the south- western section of the city should sleep much easier these nights. It has been officially proved that there is no danger to their homes from the presence of the Shuttle Meadow Reservoir nearby. This fear first arose in September following the hurricane, when ponds and other watercourses all over the state were swollen; dams were weakening and glv- ing way; bridges had been washed out; and in general great havoc wrought. AS a matter of fact people were ordered from their homes in the vicinity of the reser- voir dam shortly after the hurricane.
 But this week it was stated through the press of New Britain that even then there was no danger of the dam bursting and the released waters flooding the district nearby. Water Department Engineer Joseph w. Holden made this fact public and to substantiate it he released a survey report made by an eminent Austrian water expert, Dr. Carl Von Terzaghai, now at the Harvard School of Engineering. Dr. Von Terzaghi was amazed that anyone should think the reservoir dam was in any way unsafe or could be broken by high waters.
 All this speaks we'll for the condition of this important link in the New Britain water-works. We hope the same is true and may be said publicly of all other reservoirs, public and private, in this state We sincerely trust that every com munity which owns it's water plant and every company which supplies communi- ties with water is making sure that pre- cautions are taken against breaking of dams under extra pressure such as flood waters impose. After such an event as that of the past fall, everyone recognizes the need of preparedness and constant care to prevent disasters due to wash ing out of dams
 The 1889 Legislature may do some thing about forced examinations of all dams, whether they are keeping back the waters of an artificial reservoir or river. There should be regular inSpec- tions. Just the same it is encouraging to officials everywhere to read that one re- ported near-tragedy was just so much talk and due more to fear and hySteria than anything else.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-21

was advanced few days ago, too, by an official of state aviation group, who saw the need of developing more municipal airports. At the time we remarked how nice it would be to do this if the cities and town could afford it or could be re- assured of sufficient revenue to care for upkeep. Right now it looms as lux ury service.
 We don't know how the people of Wa terbury feel about developing an airport what with having to contend with rising taxes. A few years back we had chance to buy and operate a landing field up at Mt. Tobe if it was deemed necessary, but the city fathers turned down the propo- sition as too expensive at the moment. If it was expensive then and the need not so imperative that it transcended all cost, then surely the same condition is an objection today.
 Waterbury won't throw any obstacles in the path of aeronautics development in the state and will be glad to see more airfieldS outlined if it means big ger and wider diversity of manufacturing But it will be necessary for someone to smooth out the financial difficulties be- fore every municipality can set itself up as landlord of an airport.

Selected Poem
FAREWELL TO THE L.

(Arthur Guiterman in the New York Sun) Goodby, sweet railway since your end is fated!
 All flesh is grass, all iron comes to rust. You're not the only thing called elevated"
 That fades away or crumbles into dust Before the era of electric power
 Propelled by coal-made steam you rattled by, Your smoke expanding, and gentle shower
 Of cnders menacing the needless eye With nonchalance, giraffe of rapid transit
 Your creaking cars careened around the curves At heights great that some refused to chance it, At speeds that narrowed unaccustomed nerves Yet pretty soon we thought you indispensable. Through all the world your glories were renowned! Until we strangely deemed it far more sensible To burrow, like the moldwarp underground. Though constant progress, change fiuctuation Our isle has known since first the Dutchman came, The city's plan of public transportation
 In one essential ever stays the same: In some conveyance loaded to the gunwaleS
 We hurry on to nowhere in particular; In busses, or in cars through subway tunnels
 We travel standing up and perpendicular.
