Selected Poem

SUNSET (Nancy Ann Williams in the Poets Column
 Hartford Courant) Lowering beneath the snowy hill You leave our earth quite calm and still And go to another more distant land To set light on their earth with the sweep
 of your hand. Reddish and yellow you look from my view Hinged with purple, and green, and blue ColorS Supurb crown the mountain tops AS you travel without restful stops. Beautiful sun, with your glorious shades Shining on youth and kindly old maids Giving health and light to the earth, Dancing on water, laughing with mirth. When you have set we know day is done Yet we know that tomorrow will again
 bring the sun And although it may rain, there's a silver
 lining
 For soon the sun ill its glory is shining.

Of course for long time we recom- mended tolls on the Merritt Parkway as sure and quick means of paying off the bonds necessary to finance it's con- struction. Connecticut, though, seems to feel that it has left the toll-road era bonds necessary to finance it's road era only too short time ago to return to it now in this enlightened age when we buy rights of way for fabulous sums Well, it's matter of opinion and we still think that ours has something to recommend it.

prices started dropping, this cut would be passed right back to wages, that when wages were slashed, buying power evaporated.
 '"Then we'll be right back in q first class Hoover depression" boomed John Lewis.
 "You can't expect the steel industry, now operating at g per cent capacity, to cut prices any further" he continued, 'when they begin losing money after they get below 40 per cent. The thing to do is to give them more volume through steady, constructive program. Then they can cut prices"
 He went on to cite workers in the building trades working only about 100 days 8 year, who couldn't be expected to permit wage cuts unless guaranteed 8 regular number of days of em- ployment-which only the govern ment can do. [ Many other points were dis cussed, among the most important being:
 l. The absolute necessity of coordination between business, labor and government.
 2. That previous White House conferences with business lead- CTS had resulted chiefly in pious expressions, but no actual coordination or follow-up.
 5. That the government had started laying off men (through WPA) just as 1t was urging business not to do so. Lewis de- 1nanded that there be immediate large scale government spend ing.
 4. That business should not be attacked merely because it was big, but only when 1t was vicious; that big business need- ed to be steered for the benefit of both labor and the govern ment.
 Out of all this is expected to come a sort of economic steering committee representing labor, in dustry, banks, and government. Jack Garner Sits
 In spite of the candid camera craze, certain commercial agen- cies refuse to distribute photo graphs showing a public official in an unfavorable pose.
 The other day, a cameraman caught Jack Garner as he was getting into a car. He was just letting himself down into the seat, but the finished picture looked as if he were jumping out of the seat after sitting on a tack.
 The agency destroyed the plate.

This Is only the start of gigantic

THE Civil Aeronautics Act of 1888

aeronautics to settle down and get
married" Congress, he says, wants
three kinds of children out of the
union. They must serve % foreign
and domestic commerce, 90 the

The airplane, Mr.. Noble says, is
Just as vital to our economic life of
today as were the fiintlocks to be
used against enemies and to kill
game during the pioneer era. Air
companies currently "in the red"
will be encouraged and developed.
MIR. Noble feels that flying is no
longer the wildcat of our industrial
economy; that ceiling and visibility
are unlimited" He deplores the fact
that less than one-half of one per
cent of our population is as familiar
with today's first arm of defense as
were our forefathers with the flint
locks which decided the issue of their
day."
Chairman Noble looks forward to
100, 900 civilian pilots and 125 900
mechanics in new government

about 10000 men and about 600

through the new Civil Aeronautics
Authority, which would be a great
reservoir to draw from in case of

Air defense, however, will call for
more planes in commission for

for more planes in reserve. And
particularly will 1t call for addition

United States has approximately
