SURPLUS PRODUCE
 DISTRIBUTED HERE
Three Welfare Centers in State Receive Weekly
 Shipments

Each week Waterbury's welfare de- partment distributes to needy fami- lies the surplus products of Connec- tiOut truck growers. There are three such welfare stations in the state, the other two being at Hartford and New Haven.
 Last year when apples were plen- tiful the government Surplus Com modities Corporation was a large buyer in Middlefleld, Wallingford, and Cheshire, and some of the sup plies were given out in this city.
 Meriden has been assigned to the Hartford station and the welfare de- partment of that city weekly sends a truck to Meriden. The farmers bring in their vegetables to the market early in the morning, and after they have disposed of all pos- sible to their customers, the govern ment ofiicial assigned to the task buys up the remainder at a lower price than prevails.
 Miss Grace White is in ,charge of the Waterbury welfare department.

ITALY WILL STAY WITH GERMANY

Rome, Aug. 24.-(UP)-Italy will be on the side of Germany in any war over Danzig because Italy's in- terests are involved, Virgin.o Gaydo, authoritative and quasi official Fas- cist editor, said in the Giornale DItalia today.
 Placing responsibility for war or peace on Britain and France, Gayda said that Italy's interests were in- volved in the dispute over Danzig because the free city was part of the greater Europe problem"
 "The new European war being prepared by the challenging war mongers in Paris and London would result in conflict between forces. one of which would be attempting to impose a new and more seryile Yer sailles treaty whereby Germany was mutilated and Italy left without col- onies and the other aspiring to a revision of Europe in the name of justice and balance of power which would mean a real peace," he said.

Old Cavalrymen Fail to Enthuse Over Mechan- ical Monsters" - Horses Play Big Role in
 Maneuvers at Plattsburg.

is stationed down Texas way. Now he Is detailed with the Princeton University Reserve Ofilcers Train ing Corps unit where the students have some horses and learn . little equitation, but they go deep into motors before they complete their military course.
 In the mimic war of the First Army here at Plattsburg the stac- cato notes of "Charge!", most thrilling of all cavalry bugle calls sends the men of the 3d cavalry regular army, and the 10lst cavalry New York national guard, vaulting into saddles. Then the furious gall lop. A wonderful sight and vital on rugged ground.
 Romantic Picture
 Yet even this romantic picture of the spirit of the cavalry has dimmed with the years. The flashing sab- CTS that made the charge what 1t was, have long been obsolete and the cavalryman has had to learn to fight dismounted, with Q rifle and machine gun. His speed on charg- CT no longer availing against the repeating rifle and the machine gun, he has had to leahn to meet the infantryman on his own ground. And the men of the army, who love their horses, are glad that their seeds no longer have to galoip into bazing muzzles.
 But what of the "heil buggies"? A flag waves or @ colored flare leaps into the sky, maybe sizzling wireless give the word. Mechanicians in dungarees and padded helmets chamber into their steel chambers. Not the neigh of eager horses fills their ears but a boiler room roar. Off they go. They flash no glis- tening steel in the sun but pour deadly hail from machine guns and light cannon.
 Many men of the army have had to make the hard, enforced choice give up the reins of 6 friend of flesh and blood and eyes, that has 6 human name, for a monkey wrench and @ carburetor. Some have not had to endure this revo- lutionary change that tore at cd affections-not yet. The 112th Field Artillery of New Jerseys 44th Di- vision still hitches well-tried horses to It's 75's. It has 410 horses in the maneuvers, and 1t is one of only three National Guard artillery outfits in the nation which have not hooked their guns and caissons to rubber-tired behicles.
 Bugle Call
 The 10lst cavalry brought 519 horses to the "war", largest number of beasts in one outfit here. The 3d cavalry of the regulars is here with l55 horses, and the headquar- ters, 5lst cavalry brigade. New York National Guard has 34. Then there are some horses and mules with two regular army regiments-53 with the 18th infantry and 58 with the 9th infantry service companies.
 These men wonder what new tra- dition is growing among the iron cavalrymen to replace the bugle cal that sings to them:
 Come all who are able and ge to the stable
 And water your horses and giv' 'en some corn ="

 Good Mrs. Murphy.
 Fine old soul. she was, too.
 And now she's dead.
 Its the way of all flesh, as we all know.
 But wouldn't 1t have been bet ter and nicer, if this faithful and loyal subject O. the Roman Cath olic church had been allowed to live just awhile longer, SO that she would have been able to enjoy the fruits of her own work, and others out there by attending service in the newly built church, in the heart of Q town, which once only had the Murphys to represent this great religious body, 90 dear to the many Identified with this partic- ular church.
 Mrs. Murphy just lived for the day she would be able to see q Roman Catholic church in the town which she had made hel home for these many years. The old Congregational church was the only church in Prospect for years, and save those who drove to We. terbury, the greater part of the population attended divine service there Sunday after Sunday. And 90 did we too h our day when we walked occasionally to Prospect on . cool Sunday morning.
 Am Knew Her
 Prospect will seem strange to many without the beloved Mrs. Murphy. All families knew her, from one end of the town to the other. Old Out East knew her, for in the early days Prospect was included in the parish of the Church of the Sacred Heart. And Sunday, no matter how the ele- nnents were, the old Murphy bay horse hitched to Q double seated wagon, with Q red body, was driven to the junction of East Main and Taylor streets and tied there until the services of the Church of the Sacred Heart were at an end.
 But 1t is the old, yes and the new for that matter, berry pickers who will miss this kindly old lady, because no one was ever denied ac- cess to the Murphy lots during the berry season. Men now grown to manhood will tell you of their young days, and their visits out there, and the filling of their pails with choice berries, and without
