Basketball Time

Basketball season at M. & M. is again upon
u.s. Other schools throughout the county opened
their seasons week ago. Basketball as
high school game is even more popular than loot
ball, especially in this county, where we have put
one football team and there are at least SIX high
schools with both first and second basketball
teams.
Basketball is played under much more COM
Portable conditions for the onlookers than is
football where games always out of doors,
and in all sorts of weather.
Our teams open up and jump right into the
league playing their first game with CALDWELL
one Of the very best teams in the league. Both
will play their hardest to win this the opening
battle, and Caldwell rooters will be here in full
force. Let not permit our enthusiasm for our
team to forget good sportsmanship and too
have due consideration for the referee. He has a
hard place fill with rooters of both teams pitch
ed to fever heat. Any more referee who shows
favoritism does not hold his job very long.
Sometimes it is hard pill to swallow, but re-
member that the best team usually wins.
We hope our boys will be the winners at all
games-f it does it is needless to say that the
home people will back them to the limit. If we
lose, let us hope team and home people too,
will show proper sportsrnanship.
P. S.: While this may be trife late to bring

and that is to mention little incident in connec-

Following the game the losing team, and our
school band quickly left the playing field, before
the trophy to the best team was presented. This
was bit discourteous and let us hope that any
thing of like nature will not occur again.

EXPLANATION ON
 HOUR, WAGE LAWS
Minimum Wage Director Corrects Impression Cur=
 rent in Waterbury

No wages and hours law affecting beauty shops is now pending before the General Assembly, says Henry P. Scott, of Henri's Beauty Salon in a letter to The Democrat. A re- cent advertisement, he says, gave the impression that such a bill was being considered at Hartford.
 MT. Scott's letter is based on in- formation given him by Miss Vir- ginia Hawkins, director of the minimum wage division, state labor department.
 MT. Scott says: "On April IA 1859, an enormously worded adver- tisement appeared in your news paper signed by one Ann Mitchell Of 738 East Main street. There is no such bill as Miss Mitchell describes before the General Assembly. The nroposed regulations to which she presumably refers are about to be submitted to the state labor commissioner by the state beauty shop minimum wage board. This board was appointed in accordance with the Connecticut minimum wage law, which has been in effect since 1883, and is composed of beauty shop owners, beauty shop employees and members of the public"
 ''The final recommendations of the wage board will be published by the labor commissioner when he receives them. Following a public hearing on these proposals, the commissioner will either accept or reject them. Notice of this hearing will be given to all newspapers in the State."

 From Frisco

Mrs. Henry A. Hayden, of Luke street, answered her tele- phone a few days ago to find that the call was from a former Waterburian, now in California, who had won a prize of three free transcontinental phone calls while attending the San Francisco Worlds Fair.
 The caller was Mrs. Joseph Mulligan, the former May Waters, of this city, who moved to California with her husband thre years ago.
 Mrs. Mulligan said the fair was highly spectacular and en- tertaining, and chatted with Mrs. Hayden about old friends in Waterbury. She said> that the call was the second of her three free ones and promised to call Waterbury again. The call was made directly from the fair grounds on Treasure Island, in San Francisco bay.

Fundamental Orders

Connecticut does well to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the establishment of a free and independent government here in this state. This was probably the first time that any organized body of men had set up group of codified laws embodying in their constitution such freedom of liberty that they have since been the model for states and even na- tions. Let us all take pride in this anni- versary and let us all resolve to live up to and observe more faithfully the tenets contained in those original Fundamental Orders, just as applicable to us in daily life today as they were to the oppressed colonialS of 1639.
 This state can we'll be proud of the fact that it gave the world its first writ ten constitution. It can we'll be proud of the fact that it actually laid the foun- dation for the Democratic form which this nation later took. In its first con- stitution were embodied all those things which go to make up democracy ln which all peoples are free and equal; enjoy liberty of speech, thought, and con- science More than mere observance of day should crown this 3O0-year gap.
