For Coming Year

Directors Of the Connecticut So
City for Crippled Children from all
parts of the State viii meet in
Hartford next Monday ITO review
activities during the past year and
to discuss the program for the COM
ing year. This statewide organiza-
tion is now carrying on its most
extensive program In history on be-
half Of the physically handicapped
children and adults of Connecticut
Colonel D. Gordon Hunter, presi-
dent of the Society, in a recent
settlement stressed the need for ad-
ditional occupational training among
crippled people In the State. 1.-THE
medical needs are important" x,
Colonel Hunter but we also must
consider the education of these
youngsters and their vocational
problems in later life. Although
the State is doing a splendid work
through its vocational rehabilita-
ton program, there are many per-
sons too severely handicapped to
benefit by this service. 1t is this
latter group to which the Connecti-
cut Society is devoting an increas-
ing amount of their efforts"
Colonel Hunter stated that the
Society is now operating a very sue
cessful occupational workshop in
Bridgeport in charge of a trained
occupational therapist. This shop
not only works with the adult group.
but Is extending its services to
crippled children in need of cura-
tive therapy treatments.
As soon as additional funds are
available, the Society plans to es-
tablish similar workshops in New
Haven and Hartford. This project
is in addition to its present actiyi-
ties in the field of medical treat
ment and general service work.

These two communications were
first, the message sent to Hitler ir
September Of 1888, when the Mu-
Mich agreement was in the making
and, second, the appeal he dis
patched last April.
In the April appeal, President
Roosevelt told Hitler:
at is still clear to me that in
ternational problems car be solved
1T the council table.
at Is therefore no answer to
the plea for peaceful discussion
for one side to plead that unless
they receive assurances before
hand that the verdict win be
theirs they win mot lay aside their
arms. In conference rooms, as in
courts, It Is necessary that both
sides enter upon the discussion in
good faith, assuming that sub
stantial justice win accrue to
both"
That paragraph has been pounced
upon by the organized peace socie-
ties, which have been urging ever
since the first Of September that
America try to mediate the war.
