Noted Authority on Municipal Government Howard P.
Jones, to Give Chief Address-Legslative Petit
tiOn Expected for Charter Amendment

GERS, and that way is most demo-
cratic which gives the people the
surest control. The most effective
way for the people to get firm grip
on the neck Of the governmental
organization is by sending a repre-
sentative group of citizens down to
City Hall to see what the executive
Is doing, with power to fire him and
to get another any day OF the week
If he Is unsatisfactory or insubordi-
nate.
Furthermore, a capacity In gov
eminent for vigorous effective exc
cution Of policies is essential to true
democracy. A policy desired by the
people and obediently voted for by
their representatives is often de-
feated by jelly-fish inefficiency In
execution. Administration by a
trained manager forestalls this.
This new government is not a
cure-all. 1t is capable of going in
the wrong direction like any other
human organization. A city char
ter is like an tomobile-nothing
mechanical can be devised that will
keep the owner from driving 1t up
the wrong fork of the road. The
makers must strive to make the car
infallibly obedient to the steering
wheel and completely under the
drivers control. The city manager
automobile is of all kinds the one
that is least able to defy public SEN
timent or escape popular control.
1t is the best makeand the easiest
for the general public to operate
without the help of politician chauf-
feurs or back-seat drivers"
Prior to the meeting Mr.. Jones
will be guest at dinner at The Elton
hotel. A group of prominent citi-
zens and members Of civic clubs will
welcome Idr. Jones to Waterbury.

He was invited to the museum an

year-old "Old Faithful" was much
safer.

better In the United States than any other
propaganda machine.
The answer is simple. The British know how
to be subtle. Whenever they need to drive a
point home to United States citizens Sir Wilmott
Lewis, veteran Washington correspondent of the
London Times and guide of British intelligence
in America, turns up to do a little speechmaking.
Or it might be Lord Lothian or a Lord Marley
or Winston Churchill or Lord Cecil.
Or it may be a wellplanted story abroad or
cleverly planted news pictures.
Or it might be just some of our own "blue-
blooded swells" who get sweller and sweller when
they think of their Anglo-Saxon ancestry or visit
their cousins across the sea-
It's always been wonder to me why the
other nations ambassadors in Washington never
tumbled to how to do the job properly without
being obvious about it.

Kennedy "ReloUed Irish"

Joseph P. Kennedy, our Ambassador to Lon.
don, was sworn in by Franklin D. Roosevelt
in the White House, thereby shattering all prece

The real reason for this astonishing perform
ance is:
A group Of the world savers" brigade in the
State Department had planned to use Joe
Kennedy as "table thumper" in London and
make him a dupe for their whims, aims and
fancies.
Joe, however, has no intention Of being a
table thumper for the world savers" brigade
Therefore, after talking it over with the Boss"
in the White House, he let it be known that If
any one was going to use him, they were out Of
luck.

Through blizzard and pelting
rainstorm and on bright summer
days the endless stream of Amer
leans vending their way to Mt.
Vernon is sturdy proof of the
place the mansion on the Potomac
holds in the hearts of the nation.
On the eve of Washington's S
Birthday, a Times reporter set
forth to investigate the recent as
sertion in a national magazine
that the top niche Mt. Vernon
holds in the nations heart was
being threatened by other show
places.
THE ANSWER is NO!
The answer found on the
tongues and in the shocked eyes Of
many questioned is:

Kindly o. j. Thomas, who has
lived 80 years on or near the
broad acres of George Washington
and who for Is years has guarded
the portals through which hun
dreds pass daily, was one of the
first approached.
Referring the reporter to the
office Of Superintendent C.. C.
Wall for statistics, Mr.. Thomas
said:
why, my goodness, there was
only $4,000 or so came through
only $500 or so came through
here in 1914 when first started
to be a guard at the gates. But
gracious sakeS, there are most a
million come through here every
year now."
Mr.. Thomas's eyes twinkled
when asked If as many newlyweds
came to Mount Vernon as do to
Niagara Falls and other show
places.
