High School Goa h e $ Meets Aldermen Friday;
 Squad of B to Be Named

One of the greatest plans for higk school sports presented in many year came to a head last night as the three local high school coaches. Bill Schofield of Crosby, Jim Lee of wilby, and Bill Tracy of Leaven- worth agreed to combine forces like England, France and Poland and put a football team on the field that will defeat the colorful, able and highly rated St. Johns Prep of Brooklyn, New York, at Waterbury's beautiful municipal stadium, Saturday after- noon, September 23.
 StandOut
 The high school football inaugural for all three schools, under those conditions, should be one that will mark a distinct notch in local sports history, and when the history and ability of the New Workers becomes generally known, there is great chance that 1000 to 10000 football fans will sit or stand in on the game, watching the best players from all three high schools compete with the visitors from the metropolitan area.
 Meet Friday
 Friday night at o'clock, the three coaches, Schofield, Lee and Tracy will meet with . committee of the board of aldermen to complete ar arrangements for use of the field and receive suggestions as to other parts of the inaugural program aside from the actual game. Considerable !r- formation relative to the visitors will be forthcoming next week while the Crosby, Wilby and Leavenworth drills have already started, with each boy anxious to be one of the squad of B expected ot be picked for the first game of football on the new field, which has stands seating 5000, parking space for 1000 cars and bleacher space for 5000 more.

A BOASTFUL
REACTIONARY
{ Minneapolis Tribune)

People do not always agree on their
definitions of terms commonly used in
politics today-"liberal, conservative
and "reactionary,' for instance. But
Charming Pollock, the American play
wright and author, has just been having
a bit of fun in calling himself a reaction
airy and proving why he's proud of it..
In recent talk at the University of Gin
cinnati, he deplored the trend against
democracy. If going back to the course
of government and affairs of % years
ago means being a 'reactionary, then
that's the label Mr.. Pollock wants, he
told his audience.
The playwright cited recent history to
show that we were a pretty happy peo-
pie up to the World war and for some
time after that. "To begin with" he re-
called, Sin 1914 the world had not known
a major war since 1871 nor a general
war since 1915. We had not arrived at the
high civilization in which whole popula-
tions were provided with bomb shelters
and trained to use gas masks" The loss
es under dictatorship today were then
traced, preceding an extended portion
of the address devoted to the relief prob
lem and the dependence upon govern
mnt largesse which has been bred in the
course of recent years.
MI. POLLOCK uSeQ ancient history al
most with zestful glee in proving that
New Deal" ideas were really centuries
old. 1--WE are not making history" Mr..
Pollock Numbered, 1--WE are merely re-
peating it. The father of RECOMMENDATION
was a Babylonian monarch 2200 years
B. c.; you will find the first wages and
hours bill in Hamurabis code. Servius
Tullious made a small portion of the
Roman population pay all the taxes,
Augustus distributed largesse as means
of ingratiating himself with the mob,
and Diocletian and Constantine tinkered
with the currency, fixed prices, and tried
to regulate production. I'm a red shirt
tailed radical compared with our rulers
i merely want to cling to what was
good 25 years ago; they want to revive
what was bad in the dark ages"
The playwright contends that we've
had enough of forward marching into
the blacklist pages of history" Legisla-
lures and dictators alike have placed
too much faith in governmental DEGREES,
Mr.. Pollock argues. A strongly serious
note tinges his satirically humorous claim
that he is a reactionary, crying: Lets
go back to the path that leads ahead"

1T WILL TAKE SPEED
TO BEAT THIS SYSTEM

Now that the Arizona lettuce harvest
ing season is over, a ruling has come
down from the Nation. Labor Relations
board in Washington that workers in
Arizona are entitled to be represented
by the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions as collective bargaining agent. But
the sheds in Arizona have passed their
peak, so the shed workers have turned
elsewhere.
The season in Imperial Valley is start
ing. The CIO is endeavoring to be named
collective bargaining agent for workers
here. This case, too, may go to Washing
ton. By the time an election is held in
the sheds, the season will be over. The
workers will have moved on.
Next year, probably, different crews
will man the sheds in Arizona, so there
will have to be another election. Results
cannot be known very long before the
end of the season. Then the season will
begin in the valley, and again there will
be new hands in the sheds here. Another
election will be necessary.

economic conditions here, please
consider such facts as these: only
one person out of every seventeen
in the world lives in the United
States: yet we have more than half
of the worlds telephones. One per-
son out of every three in this coun-
try has a savings bank account.
One out of every two people in the
United States is protected by a life
insurance policy. The sum total of
all the money spent on education
in all other countries doesn't
amount to as much as We spend
for it in America. One out of every
six people here owns a radio; there
are enough automobiles that all of

Heart breaking as relief is, I do
know this: that person on relief

than hundreds of millions of work.
ers with jobs in other parts of the
world.
And despite the depression, there
is still money to be made in Am
erica. We still have a wealth of
natural resources which are in daily
demand.
I wish all our chronic grumblers
and critics and complainers would
try their luck for a year in China,
Japan. India or most of Europe.
Probably two hundred million peo-
pie somewhere on this earth will go
to sleep tonight cold and hungry.
Yes, thank God that you live in
America, for we enjoy here the
highest standards of living that
has ever been known anywhere in
all the recorded pages of history.
And remember this astonishingly
good standard Of living has been
made possible very largely by our
Characteristic plan of mass produc-
tion in industry. For example. the
car you buy today for seven hun
dred dollars would cost. if it all had
to be made by hand twelve or
fifteen thousand dollars.
As Paul Garrett said last April
in a superb speech before the Am

Agencies:
The standard of living for all
goes up, and can only be made to
go up as the true price of goods
for all is brought down.

WHATS WRONG WITH
CALIFORNIA?

William Allen White, justly famous
as Americas outstanding small town
newspaper editor told Californians Tues
day what's wrong with their state.
Famous for oranges, the states res
taurants and hotels serve orange Juice
in the smallest glasses they've got, and
charge just as much as their fellows III
Kansas charge for the same beverage,
White declared. What California hotels
should do is prove the superiority OF
the states products by furnishing free
pitcher of orange juice in every hotel
room, he advised.
If William Allen White lived in Cali
fornia, we think he might find few
other things wrong with the state. One
of them might be state government
that goes on every year increasing IN
cost.
Governor Olson's budget, released this
week, provides for an increase Of four
and half per cent in the cost of govern
ment during the next two years. Stand
ing alone, the increase might not be SER
ious. Considered in its true light, as
merely an indication Of a trend that Is
continually growing, 1t assumes a very
serious aspect.
1t is even more serious when one con-
siders that the trend is not confined to
Statistics at the present time prove
that every two wage-earners are sup
porting one relief worker of government
tai employe. In other words, out Of the
wages you and | earn, we must support
a third person, one whom we do not know
and may never see. We pay for the sup
port through taxes.
Consider what will happen if the cost
of government keeps on going up. Pretty
soon every wage Garner will be support
ing another person, and it may not be
long after that until the wage Garner is
supporting three or four others.
If this trend were to continue, it would
be only a matter of time until all Of US
ceased to be wage earnerS in the pres
ent meaning of the term, and became
nation whose entire earnings are turned
over to the government, and who in
turn are granted the necessities of life
from the government treasury
We do not believe that point will ever
be reached. Before it is, there will be
a reorganization of governmental reor-
ganization nothing like that proposed by
the New Deal, but one proposed and
carried out by economy minded voters
themselves. And when that reorganiza-
ton comes, woe betide the reckless spend
ers whose theory is that, if you haven't
got all the money you want to spend,
you can get it by boosting taxes.

Bruce Cation Says
Expanding Domain May Solve Land Problems

just at the time when everybody
was getting accustomed to the idea
that the public domain is eX-
hauSted,' 10 and behold the public
domain starts growing again.
Public ownership of land is gain
ing by leaps and bounds, not only
as result of widespread purchase
by the federal and state govern
ments. but by tax foreclosure.
For example, in 1888 Oregon own
ed 1,714,349 acres of land, with an
other S20000,000 worth foreclosable
because of tax delinquency.
Almost every state is faced with
