STATE RIGHTS RACKET

--to the injury of some Social Security clients.
In the short two years of the laws operation, few
old people have already been barred
0'"'e O"'0' from, or delayed in collecting, what
oOct0I oec"'"S was coming to them. The reason
has been that they had recently moved from one State
to another and that rigid residence requirements IN
the new State clashed with the Federal Social Sc
curitv law The Board hopes interstate agreements
TO prevent these inustices may be swiftly developed
We should think Congress could do the job faster by
blanket amendment to the Federal Social Security
law Whatever is done about this hitch it should be
done quickly. Evidently the trainers of the original
act and of various State acts overlooked the important
fact that this is migratory nation, with people con-
tnually travelling all the map in search Of jobs
and paying no attention to State lines.
Big business corporations don't operate that way
General Motors doesn't have factory in each State;
the telephone and telegraph companies, the railroads
and the airlines the oil companies and the coal oper-
ators-all do business in national field. The State
governments, like the State rights arguments are
mainly rackets for the benefit of politicians and OBJ
structonsts.

millions for relief, in subsidies to

That may be all well and good,

with regard to letting foreign

lot of this spending could have

TERRIFIC STORM
 RACES IN STATE
Waterbury Escapes Brunt of Sudden Deluge; Mid.
 dletOWn Hard Hit

The most vivid lightning of the year was in evidence last night as another terrific electrical storm made its appearance. Waterbury, however, escaped the heart of the storm, while other parts of the state suffered considerable damage. During much of the storm, the moon and stars stil. shone brightly. Brilliant forks of lightning stabbed across the sky, as thunder rumbled in the distance. Most of the light ming was in the east, and clouds were silhouetted against the Skiy for many seconds at a time. In Middletown the storm struck with devastating fury. Trees were uprooted by the score, ponds form ed in the streets, and home and business establishments suffered. This city was still making repairs today after Monday nights storm. Hundreds of homes were without telephone or electric service for varying periods. Full repair crews were on duty at both the Southern New England Telephone Co.,, and the Connecticut Light and Power Co.
 A total of 2.62 inches of rain fell during the two-hour downpour Mon- day night.

 Yvonne and Emile are outstand- ing. Yvonne is the leader. She directs, the others follow. She seems to figure things out coldly, like general, and then proceed.
 Emile Is the imaginative one, She Is probably the greatest joy to the nurses. Fantastic things go in her mind. She "hears" things.
 She will put her ear to the flowers, and says she "hears" them. She "hears" the hoptoad that gets into the playground once in a while. She makes up stories and tells them as the truth.
 She is tom-boy, and also one of the most girlish. Her pockets are always full of dirt and worms and nails( the nurses can't figure where she finds nails, but she does) And on the other hand she is affectionate. She "spots" kisses, behind her ear and in her hand and such stuff, and the nurses hays to hunt for the kisses, and get them.
 Annette is the singer. In fact, they all have remarkable ability for carrying tunes. But Annette sings best, and loves music most. Her favorite songstress is Lily Pons. Frequently Annette asks to hear Mile. Pons" on the phono- graph. I don't know whether Miss Pons knows this or not.

The Old Ranger will tell several exciting stories about this famous 14,500-foot mountain lo- cated in Sequoia National Park. Mt. Whitney was first sealed by white man in September, 1873, nine years after it had been dis covered. Subsequent efforts by man to build 8 trail to the peak were met with such unvarying dis aster and death that the people of Lone Pine, Calif., the little town nestling in the shadow of peak, grew to regard it as thing alive. Even today thets people talk to it, revere it, and frequently name their children in its honor.
