DISCIPLINE FOR
 YOUTHS FAVORED
John H. GOss Advocates Extension of Public Rec=
 reatiOn for Jobless

Extension of public recreation as means of wholesome discipline for unemployed young people was ad- vocated here today by John H. Goss ill communication to members and friends of the National Recrea- tion Association, of which he is local sponsor.
 Referring to an address by Owen D. Young, chairman of the General Electric company, on the restless ness and ferment among 5,000,000 unemployed young people, MT. Goss wrote:
 Youth needs discipline. It needs discipline both in work and in lei sure. In the absence of the whole some discipline that comes from steady employment, our public play grounds and social centers provide a splendid kind of discipline that is helping to conserve the moral, phy- sical and mental stamina of our young people. What is equally im- portant, from their group experi- ences they learn sportsmanship, team work, Self-restraint and other valuable qualities. The National Recreation Association exists to pro- mote such recreation"
 The National Recreation Associa- tion is the clearing house of the community recreation movement in the United States. Dr. John H. Fin ley, editor of the New York Times, is president. John c. Winant, former governor of New Hampshire, is first vice. e-president. Robert Garrett of Baltimore is second vice-president. Gustavus T. Kirby, treasurer and Howard s. Braucher, secretary. The headquarters of the organization are in New York city.

Thompsonville, Conn, May 18.- (UP)-A mass meeting of striking workers of the Bigelow-Sanford Carpet O., was scheduled to hear reports of a New York conference negotiating for arbitration Of a ten per cent wage reduction dispute here at Amsterdam, N. Y.
 Union officials said no headway had been made at the meeting which was called by the New York state mediation board. The session was to continue today.

The ruling upheld a statute which stipulated only per- sons involved in strike, through no reason of their own, could apply for jobless insurance.

BY EDWARD J. RYAN.

The Democratic party in Thom- aston which has been long inac- tive is about to be inocculated with new life. Young blood will be injected into the party. Polish members will be added to the town committee. Polish members will be given prominent positions with the organization and that race will be represented on the town ticket when election day rolls around. All this if the plans of some of the influential mem- bers of the party arc adopted and there is great need for their adoption.
 In the past the Democratic party has been a standing joke in Thomaston. Each year the party runs weak candidates for public office in opposition to the very best that the Republican ma- chine has to offer. Men have headed the ticket in the past who actually did NOT want to be elected.
 If and when, this complete renovation of the party takes place here are the principals which it will embrace:
 1. Better highways for the town, every part of the town.
 2. Lower tax rates; a complete revaluation of the assessed prop critics in town; lower public util- ity rates and especially lower electric rates. To have the town OWN water rights; to curtail USELESS spending.
 It now remains to be seen whether the Democratic party is out to do job in Thomsaton this year, or whether it is still going to be the Town Joke" Whats the answer?
 Another aspiring candidate has thrown his hat in the political field. Dudley Manchester of Win sted is looking for the Republi- can nomination for high sheriff in Litchfield county. Manchester is not very well known around the county.
 While on the subject of Re- publican high sheriff candidates as predicted in the past there would be more than the original three who are Ernest E. Novey of Torrington; Frank T. Morse of Litchfield; E. R. Kaiser of Thom- aston. The odds are still on Novey, even more so now than when I first announced his candidacy. Morse, the pride of Litchfield, is still in running however, and lined up with him, conducting a vigorous campaign for him is Chauncy Hutchins, the mayor of HarWintcn. Hutchins recently ap- peared before the Waterbury grand jury for questioning.
 One of the finest all around fell lows to be found in the political

 And the Young Republicans want members of the organization, that is, the town committee, to "get a load" of what they are do- ing in the political scheme. George T. Mitchell, president of the Young Republican club, will report on various activities, and Harold Boyce will submit his re- port as treasurer.

 Information
 According to the announcement, an individual with whom appeals may be filed will be stationed by the unemployment compensation divi- sion in each local office. He will ad- wise claimants and employers of their rights and assist them ill mak- ing out the necessary form.

The presence of a designated person in each office to explain to claimants and employers their rights should help to eliminate many misunderstanding at the out set. In many cases a review of the claim may make an appeal nnec- essary."

field in Litchheid county IS High Sheriff Sutherland A. Beckwith. Beck" as he is known by his friends, is a wonderful fellow to talk to. He has many good plans for the coming elections and he has mapped a political campaign that is wow" Every one who meets the popular sheriff is inn pressed with his sincere manner. In the political puzzle in Litch- field county the only man who is sure of nomination on either ticket is Beckwith. If the county goes Democratic this year, it will all be due to the fine work, and outstanding personality of Beck"
 Frank w. Hogan of Torrington is still q good bet for the post of lieutenant governor. This place on the state ticket rightfully belongs to Litchfield county and the only man in Litchfield county at the present time who would carry sufficient weight on the ticket is Frank. If Hogan is nominated it will greatly help the chances of Beckwith to be e<scted. These two men should, and will cause the Litchfield Republican leaders plenty of headaches if Hogan wins
 the nomination. Let's hope he does.
 As pointed out a few weeks ago that Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone was not interested in the lieutenant governorship. That he was merely being used as 8 stalk ing horse so as to prevent too many from grabbing at the nom- inatiOn. Joe however. wants to oppose Gus" Lonergan for the post as U. $. senator. This is a po- siti0n htat Tone has had his eye on for some time. Lonergan is gO- ing to have plenty Of trouble when he seeks renomination. He has been a thorn in the side of the administration. So have others who will also look for renomina- tion for congress.
 .. Thomas Wall, ST., Torrington, :. is busy lining up delegates for the Republican convention at which time he hopes to win the nomination for congressman. The odds are very, very definitely on Wall to win that nomination. He has it coming to him. The party owes it to him. After talking with the LEADING Republican leader in the fifth congressional district it is more certain now than ever that the nomination will go to Wall.
 Democratic town committees in the towns of Litchfield county are busy mapping out their cam paigns for the coming elections and in Terryville, Watertown, Winsted, T0rrington, Thomaston, Colebrook, and Bethlehem the town committees are expecting Democratic victories this fall. Michael Dunn of Watertown, deputy sheriff., Democratic town chairman and one of the towns most popular young men, cnd Judge Harry Byrnes are burning plenty of night oil these days completing their plans with other Democratic big wigs for the Democratic campaign.
 Henry Simpson of Thomaston has just been appointed a special deputy sheriff of Litchfield county by Sheriff Beckwith. Simpson served for years as a town con- stable in ThomaSton where he has many loyal friends. From reports heard, these same friends are planning a testimonial dinner for Simpson in the very near future.
