 MERRY-GO-ROUND
 So the life of a new congressman during the preliminary and opening days of new session is something of a merry-go-ground, especially to one like Beckworth, who is compar- atively new at politics. Though new, he has learned fast. You have to, down in Texas. In the last cam paign he unseated Congressman Morgan Sanders, who had held the job for Is years.
 He first dabbled in politics in 1886. He was then school teach CT, still fresh out of college-fresh out of five colleges, as matter of fact; at various times he pursued knowledge at Southern Methodist University, Baylor, Texas Univer- sity, East Texas State Teachers Col lege and Sam Houston State Teach CTS College. He ran for the state legislature from Upshur and Camp counties, led field of six candi- dates by an 800-vote margin, won handily in the run-off, and decided that politics was all right.

mond Gesner, died several years ago
 Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis, rector of St. Johns Episcopal Church, yesterday paid the following trib- ute to MT. Gesner:
 Rev. Anthon Temple Gesner, one-tine rector of All Souls Church, died very suddenly yes terday in New Milford. He had only recently taken up his resi- dence in New Milford, moving there from Hartford where he had retired after his active min- istry in our church. A more de- voted, faithful pastor and friend never lived than he. He was un- selfish, energetic and had a pas~ sion for doing things for other people.
 His father, and brother were both devoted ministers in the Episcopal Church.
 It was my inestimable privi- lege to have known him from his boyhood days when they lived in the church rectory in Hyde Park, Duchess County, New York. Men like Anthon Gesner make life richer and sweeter. Life to him was most alluring. He loved people and enjoyed life to the full among his friends and with his family His keen sense of humor, his youth attitude toward life com- bined in making him a delightful companion. Everybody was his friend. We were in school together in our early days on the Hudson river and that freindship has en- dured through the years.
 like to think of him as hav- ing son in the ministry of our church as well as a son-in-law, both of whom are carrying on the traditions of this father. The lov- ing sympathy of host of friends goes out to his devoted wife and family
