Rev. Charles w. Brennan

Many members of the clergy have lab cred long and faithfully here in Water bury, their names today forming brief aspirations on the lips of those of us who came under their kindly and peaceful in- fluence. By no means least of this num- Der is now the Rev. Charles w. Brennan, late pastor of St. Francis Xavier Church. Father Brennan had served three Cath olic parishes in Waterbury. His friends were all the more for his long stay in our city.
 His early days as priest were spent at the old Immaculate Conception Church where under the pastorates of the late Monsignor Slocum and Father Luke Fitz- simons he came to be associated with the Rev. James E. O'Brien of beloved memory and the Rev. James Broderick, still active in New Haven. As curates Father Bren- nan, O'Brien, and Frederick formed an unforgetable trio of kindly and devout clergymen.
 Father Brennan was the only one to return to Waterbury as pastor and labored in the Blessed Sacrament parish before being assigned to St. Francis where he remained until his death. A familiar figure on our local streets Father Brennan was great walker. He was solitary walker, too. Quiet and un- assuming his parish life was conducted with great dignity. Waterbury can well pay it's respects to this departed shepherd.

Alas, Poor Dobbin!

Once more comes an announcement that advances in the mechanical world have doomed the horse to further retire. ment from life on the farm. This time Henry Ford, whose first automobile really chased the horse off the village and city streets, has new-type tractor which he is convinced is the last word for the farmer and will end for all time and all purposes the horses usefulness on the American farm. The new tractor is in the process of being developed and hasn't yet gone on the market.
 The tractor is guaranteed to be fool proof and what's best of all to shorten the farm working day so that the man of the soil will find his labor attractive and not mere drudgery. All sorts of difficulties experienced in operating the average trac- tor such as maintaining desired depth in blowing, despite land irregularities is automatically cared for in this new one. So, too, are obstacles met without en- dangering the implements or tipping the tractor.
 Excess weight is eliminated and a new means of coupling has been devised. MT. Ford doesn't like to have it said that he is boosting Ford company output by this new tractor. Rather he terms it boon to the farm population. He said: "This will bring about much needed return to the land by the younger generation, heretofore discouraged by the volume of work and the small financial return from agricultural pursuits" And what of the horse? The poor animal gradually be- comes luxury as demand for him is lim- tied to pleasure and sport only.

Sounds Almost Fantastic

Mention has been made on several occasions of plan to tunnel under West Rock in New Haven as one section of the proposed Wilbur L. Cross Parkway. The idea has always seemed just bit fam tastice and eXtravagant to the writer. Nevertheless, Highway Commissioner William J. Cox conferred with New Haven Park Commissioners this week on the advisability of the plan. Permission to cut through the 300-foot high peak would have to be obtained from this board as West Rock is a city park.
 We presume that such a road would cut many miles off the route between Hartford and New Haven, but would this saving make up for the tremendous cost of boring hole through solid rock and constructing road therein suitable for year-round traffic? There would be few tunnels to compare with it in the nation and as curiosity it would draw tourists from far and near. But other than a curiosity would it serve a useful purpose? We are willing to be convinced of its utility, but confess an early antipathy to the idea.
 Down in Pennsylvania a modern park way, linking Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, Is to tunnel under several mountain ranges, but these tunnels date back to an unsuccessful railroad venture and didn't have to be bored out as the one under West Rock will. Tn Europe, too, roads are cut through the face of a mountain. in Connecticut the suggestion is so radic- ally different from anything heretofore considered that it may be some time be- fore we can accept 1t without quivering violently from head to foot.

Lovely to Hear

The comments of Professor Albert Levitt of Bedding on the state of our congressional and senatorial districts were like benedictions to these ears. How many times have the columns of The Democrats editorial page rang with sim- liar remarks But all to no avail. Here in Connecticut we are rooted firmly in the soil. We don't move very often. In the instance of redistricting, we don't move unless forced to and so far no force has been applied to our lawmakers to produce the desired and urgent effect.
 Everyone who is acquainted with the situation will admit that the state should be redistricted. You don't need to offer many proofs to convince the average man that our congressman are not actually representing an equal number of citizens. The same holds true, tao, of the state senators since our Connecticut system of legislation demands a senate that repre- sents districts which are supposed to be as equal in population. At one time they probably were, but not any more.
 Of course redistricting the congress- men involves, unfortunately, bit of political maneuvering on the part of parties to sew up control of any or all of the districts. There have been number of redistricting plans advanced, but none accepted. So far as we know no one has of recent years drawn up a new senatorial district map, which is sadly needed. We'd like to believe that MT. Levitt's demand upon the governor for attention important matters as these just don't seem to attract official attention any more.

MECHANICAL SLEEP INDUCER
Boston POst)

New York's new "sleep shop" may not justly be termed freak mani- festation of. our times. Here on an entire floor, @ former Bostonian named Norman Dine has assembled world of bedroom gagdets, simple and complicated, to assist the New York insomniacs to fall into sleep The gadgets include pillow-radios so that one partner in marriage may listen to a programme while the other slumbers. There are beds that shape into various forms to meet the eccentricities of the sleep- CT and there is even an automatic electric blanket that adjusts its warmth to changing temperatures.
 The world is rapidly becoming aware that the New Yorker is sub ject to a very special metropolitan conditioning which differentiates him as human being from the rest of the species. Therefore he needs stimulants and sedatives and the humoring of his whims to enable him to keep up the pace and stand the gaff. Some time ago New York city was in the midst of a highly scientific noise investigation" and major efforts were employed to cut down the endless variety and attri- ton of its assorted clangs, shouts and turmoil. In the end probably the historian of the future will conclude that cities like New York represent the peak of civilized un- naturalness.

The trout fishing season in Connecti- cut, which normally would end on the 18th of this month, has been extended indefinitely by order of the State Board of Fisheries and Game. This will be re- ceived with cheer by those intrepid wielders of the rod and reel who maintain their interest in whipping stream or pond even into the extreme heat of July. However, everyone who plans to take ad- vantage of the extended open season should acquaint himself or herself with the streams and ponds involved. Fish ing after July IS may be enjoyed only on six of the larger trout streams of the state and in six ponds which have been stocked with rainbow trout. This extra period of fishing may compensate in part for the several days when the streams were closed by gubernatorial proclamation this spring. The woods were so dry that there was danger of fire and they had to be closed to all.

Selected Poem
THE COBBLER

(Kate Rose in the Poets Corner Hartford Times) How we'll remember when was a child
 A very old Cobbler clever and mild.
 Manytimes was sent, with cautious care To give him my fathers boots to repair. I would run up the stairs and then through the hall There was the cobbler robust and tall I would stand by his side, with curious stare, As gave him my fathers boots to repair. I remember the way he scuffled his feet, As he went to and fro from his well-worn seat; And the way that he stroked his soft gray hairy When gave him my fathers boots to repair. The clock on the wall with its worn-out face Bore marks of fathfulness to the old place. And ticking aloud, 1t seemed to declare Give Me your fathers boots to repair" I'd like to go back to those days if could, And wear the same waterproof with the hood would stand by his side with childish air And give him my fathers boots to repair.

A House judiciary subcommittee has just reported favorably on bill that would authorize Congress to reimburse the State of Vermont for funds loaned to the federal government during the War of 1912. If the bill should ever pass Congress, we are positive that the world would stop spin ming. That's how much chance such pro- posed legislation has in any congress For years various states, including Con- necticut, have been trying to get Uncle Sam to repay the money he borrowed to finance the War of 1912 and for diverse other purposes. But Congress turns a deaf ear to all such pleas. Why? We don't know

genthau the other day for pri vate session. ...
 The two new representatives were scheduled to hold Q press conference on spending, and me- ticulous MT. Morgenthau, always @ believer in preparedness, thought 1t would be a good idea to hold Q sort of dress rehearsal.
 Imagine his consternat ton, however, when the Honorable Jesse made a remark that he didn't see any great need for new lending legislation, that his Reconstruction Finance Corpo- ration was quite capable of handling ell the lending the country needed.
 Whereupon, MT. Carmody, who had been to cocktail party be- fore coming to Morgenthau's, lit into Jesse as If he were talking to Herbert Hoover. He told him he was no New Dealer, that he didn't believe in the Presidents philos- ophy, and that he shouldn't have been appointed to head the spend- tng-lending agency in the first place.
 Aghast, Secretary Morgenthau made several moves to shut off Carmody, but the hard hitting Irishman wouldn't be shushed. He talked at some length, and stop- ped only when he felt there was nothing more to say.
 That ended the dress rehearsal for the press conference. Chief question in the minds of friends of both men is whether Carmo- dy owes Jesse Jones an apology and how to get him to make 1t.

Down in the Town of Mystic the Select men are incensed at the way some resi- dents are dumping refuse and trash along public roads. A concerted drive is to be made to catch offenders and to pass out punishment to those who thus violate the health and safety ordinances of both town and state. It's the same in every com munity. Some people won't take the time or trouble to get rid of rubbish properly or have it carted to public dumps.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-07-14

NOTE-Various other advisers to President agree with Jesse Jones up to point, namely that his REC was quite capable of handling all the country's neces- sary lending. But,, they add, the reason for new lending legislation is that Jesse just wouldn't lend the money. Now, however, the Presi dent has spiked his own interests by appointing Jesse head of the new lending agency.

But be 1t true or not, I have personally loved Jim Farley since I have known him. You can always depend on his word. He always keeps his prom ise."
