Judge Frank P. McEvoy in super for court at Litchfield yesterday afternoon granted divorce to Dr. Harry A.

PRICE OF CREAM
 TO BE REDUCED

A reduction of two cents in the retail price of half pint of bottle of heavy cream and corresponding reductions in other grades and quantities, was announced by milk Administrator s. Mclean Bucking- ham today. The drop will become effective on February first.
 MT. Buckingham explained that the reduction passes on to the con- sumer a decrease in the wholesale price of cream and is expected to stimulate its consumption. The wholesale price of cream on the open market has been steadily de- clining within the past and appears to have settled at about the present level. Owing to this condition, it is believed that this move will be fair not only to the consuming public but to the trade.

Democracy ThriveS on Free Discussion

Under governmental institutions based on
democracy, free speech and free press are
as essential as the air is to life. Throttle them
and democracy perishes.
This fundamental principle was recently
stressed by the Supreme Court Of Canada in
a case involving the action of the legislature
of the Province of Alberta in passing a law
designed to curb press criticism of the pro-
vincial government. The law conferred upon
the attorney general of the province the
authority to decide what might be printed
without constituting a violation of the statute.
The government of Canada disallowed the
Alberta statute, and the Canadian Supreme
Court upheld that action in a decision re-
affirming the principle that under a form of
government where the sovereign power re-
sides in the people and is exercised by repre-
sentatives elected by and responsible to them,
freedom of discussion is an inseparable ele-
ment. On this point the Chief Justice of
Canada said:
Parliamentary institutions derive their
efficacy from free discussion of affairs, from
criticism and answe and counter-criticism,
from attack upon policy and administration,
and defense and counter-attack, from fullest
and freest analysis and examination from
every point of view Of political proposals."
The Chief Justice added that "the practice of
this right of free public discussion of public
affairs, Notwithstanding its incidental mis-
chiefs, is the breath of life for parliamentary
Institutions"
On this same point Justice Cannon said:
Democracy cannot be maintained without
its foundation; free public opinion and free
discussion throughout the nation of all mat
tiers affecting the state within the limits set
by the criminal code and common law"
Justice Cannon also emphasized the fact
that Canadian citizens have certain rights
under the Dominion Government superior to
their rights as citizens of the provinces.
Every inhabitant in Alberta is also a citizen
of the Dominion" he said. "The province
may deal with his property and civil rights
of local and private nature within the prov
ince; but the province cannot interfere with
his status as a Canadian citizen and his funda-
mental right to express freely his untram-
meled opinion about government policies and
discuss matters of public concern"

Gyping Relief Funds

Occasionally unemployed workers on re-
lief so far forget their patriotic duty as to
draw more relief than they are entitled to
under the law. Occasionally, also, persons
who are entitled to no relief whatever resort
to fraudulent methods to obtain relief pay
ments. When these gypers are a%pprehended
most of the daily newspapers, controlled by
the business interests who refuse to employ
the workers and thus create the necessity for
relief, resort to big headlines and sensational
articles emphasizing the allegedly dishonest
practices of large numbers of the unemployed
and call for a wholesale purge of the relief
rolls.
But when it comes to business men on the
federal governments business relief rolls de-
hberately swiping hundreds of thousands Of
dollars of public funds, the delinquency is
completely overlooked or very decidedly soft
pedaled. This sympathetic consideration for
business gypers of government funds was re-
vealed recently when Jesse H. Jones, chair
man of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton, announced that 26 per cent of the Cor
poration's past industrial loans were in de-
fault. That is to say that 26 per cent Of the
business men who have borrowed govern
ment funds from the RFC have not repaid
those loans.
In vivid comparison to the feature stories
written about the unemployed having now
and then defrauded the unemployment relief
rolls, the wholesale frauds perpetrated by
these business men in not repaying their
loans to the government received but little
news space in the daily papers and less edi-
torial comment.
It is probable that for every dollar illegally
taken by workers on relief thousands of dol
lars of public money are swiped by business
interests who borrow government funds and
refuse to make repayment. But the business
men control the newspapers, and consequent
ly silence is the watchword regarding their
speculations. On the contrary, the same
papers howl themselves hoarse over the few
pennies fraudulently taken from relief funds
by the unemployed.

turned into a house of joy every home that
harbored death. He broke up every funeral
that he ever attended by the resurrection of
the dead. There shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain" said the great voice out
of heaven that spoke to John in The Revela-
ton. Every home over which hangs the
shadow of death may find comfort in these
words.
God triumphs in the Resurrection. And in
the open tomb man triumphs too. For death
has lost its sting. And the grave its victory.
"This is the day which the Lord hath made
We shall be glad and rejoice in it.. For as in
Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be
made alive. Thanks be TO God, who giveth
us the victory"

Lei The Poor In on Anti
Syphilis Move, Health
Officers Demanding
BY GORDON BROOKS


NEW YORK. - (FP) - Venereal
disease, target of a great public
health campaign, attacks rich and
poor. But it is the poor who receive
the least warning and advice about
the terrible scourge and who suffer
most from lack of adequate medical
treatment.
1t is also into the families of low
paid and unemployed workers that
were boxn during 1887 most of the
$4,000 babies with congenital syph-
ilis-nine-tenths of whom could
have been born healthy if the
mother had known about proper
prenatal treatment and been able to
obtain it.
The figures of health authorities
tell the story Of the crying need for
more and better clinics and other
facilities, backed by an educational
campaign directed to low income
groups:
l. One out of 10 U. S. adults has
syphilis, according to Surgeon-Gen.
Thomas Parran. Syphilis causes Is
per cent of all blindness. Forty
thousand people die annually from
heart disease caused by syphilis.
Children are handicapped from
birth. Syphilis can be successfully
treated, especially in its early stages,
but not enough cases are reached
promptly. Each year there T L.
100000 new syphilis cases, treatment
of which at an average of 500 would
cost 100000
2. U. S. workers lose $168, 600, 900
annually in wages because of vener-
cal diseases, the American Social Hy-
giene Assn. estimates. Facilities for
treatment are inadequate in most
places and in the south are only 20
per cent of what they should be.
8. A local evidence of a crying
need is seen in New York City,
where thousands sought free Was
serman blood tests for syphilis as
the result of an offer of Health &
Hygiene, monthly published at 215
Fourth Ave-, New York City.
How are these challenges being
met?
l. The press taboo against men
ton of syphilis and gonorrhea has
been broken down.
2. The LaFollette- Bulwinkle bill
to give federal anti-syphilis aid to
states has been presented to Con-
gress.
3. The Twomey-Newell bill, New
York's new law and first of its kind
anywhere, provides for compulsory
tests for syphilis in pregnancy as a
safeguard to. unborn children.
4. State-aiN.ed clinics in the U. S.
increased from 537 to 679 in 1887,
the Social Hygiene Assn. states.
Thirty-six states provide free drugs
for treatment of patients who can
not afford to pay.
This is only a short step toward a
complete syphilis control program,
such as Sweden has. That there are
greater steps to be taken is indi-
Gated by DR.. Parran's words about
the unemployed worker; Having no
job, he usually has no money. If
public clinics were available every
where, he could at least get treat
ment."

Amend the Tax Bill, or Kill 1t
Would Relieve the Rich by Adding to the Burdens of
the Less Fortunate; a Proposal to GLADDEN.
MELONS Heart.

The conduct of he majority of the men,
bers of the Senate Finance Committee
combination of "Old Guard Democrats and
"Old Guard" Republicans-would gladden.
the heart of ANDY" Mellon, if that gentle
man were still occupying his old post in the
Treasury.
Boiled down to the fewest possible words,
what Senator Pat Harrison and his supporters
propose is a sharp cut IN the faces of the 0ery
rich and a corresponding increase IN the tar
burden of the poor and the moderately lUell-
TODD. That would be an atrocious proposal
at any time, but to press it now, when the
American people are still at grips with the
depression, is an objectionable betrayal of
the public interests.
When President Roosevelt proposed a re-
vision of the tax laws he had in mind the
elimination of inequalities and injusticeS. The
House committee made an intelligent effort
to carry out that idea. Unfortunately it did
not succeed. A powerful lobby succeeded
in having the House bill drastically amend
ed. AS finally passed, it contained half a
dozen provisions which smell to heaven.
One of the worst Of the changes made by
the House was the defeat of the tax penaliz-
ing family holding companies" Everyone
knows that these holding companies are de-
vices to enable the members of rich families
to dodge their just taxes. 1t lUaS put oveT
largely because the ownerS Of powerful nelOS-
papers lUouId be the chief benefciarieS. For
all practical purposes, the House might just
as well have voted to give these greedy indi-
viduals $50,O0O,0O0 a year out of the Public
Treasury.
That is only example. There are many
others. According to Congressman McFar-
lane, the lobbyists have inserted enough
'loopholes'' to deprive Uncle Sam of hun
dreds of millions of needed income.
Encouraged by what the House did, Sena-
tor Harrison and his cohorts now propose to
go much farther.
When similar legislation was put forward
by Republicans in the days Of Harding, Cool
idge and Hoover, Democrats cried: Turn the
rascals out and give us a chance!"
Well, the people gave the Democrats their
chance. They have such a majority in the
Senate it would be difficult to locate the Re
publican minority. Senator Harrison seeks
to use that majority to pass legislation which
is as bad as anything the republicans ever
suggested.
Of course, Progressive Senators will oppose
this monstrosity. If they fail, President
Roosevelt can save the situation. He can
veto the bill. In that event, the present tax
law would stand, and, whatever its inequali-
ties may be, it is a lot better than the measure
the Finance Committee contemplates putting
over.-Reprinted from Labor.

Easter Meditati0ns
By DIR. CHARLES STEELE

Executive Director, Good Neighbor League
SIN the beginning, God" These are the
first four words in the Bible. God first is
a good motto. Some of us make it very hard
for the Almighty to do anything for us be-
cause we are always getting in His way.
There is one God. He is the Lord and
Father of us all. In Him and through Him
we are related one to another. There is one
Brotherhood. In it there is no khan, no clique,
no cleavage.
We are partners with God. He did not
finish the world in creation. The world is
being completed through us, His fellow
workers. God dignifed Labor by Himself
becoming a Workman.
God calls men to be lights in the world.
Just as He swung the stars in the heavens
when the world was young, SO that men
might not stumble in the dark, so in these
later days God is sending illumined souls
into the world so that they may light the
way for troubled, tempest-tossed travellers
on the highways of life.
Comfort is one of the worlds greatest
needs, but it is one Of the worlds rarest gifts.
When sorrow enters your life the world with
draws. 1t resigns. 1t puts Grape on the door.
1t adds gloom to your heart. 1t doesn't know
what to say; it leaves you alone. At such an
hour God knocks at the door. He comes into
your life. He comforts your soul. He wipes
away all tears.
There can be no death in God. Jesus
