GHANDI TELLS BRITAIN
PRACTICE DEMOCRACY

Wardha, India, Sept, (CNA)-Mo-
handas K. Gandhi this week called up
on the British Government to translate
into action its professed faith in de-
mocracy The Indian leader demanded
"honest action to implement the de-
clarations of faith in democracy made
on the eve of the war"
Gandhi hinted that the degree of CO.
operation by the Indian people with
Britain in the war might depend on the
answer to his appeal.
"The recognition of India Gandhi
declared" and for that matter, of all
those who are under the British Crown
as free and independent nations seems
to me to be natural corollary of the
British profession as to democracy"

The poll tax is one of the most
dangerous and effective wepons of the
internal enemies of American democ-

in "eight Southern states with poll
tax requirements only 10 per cent OF
the constitutionally eligible voters
voted in 1896" The poll tax, he says,
affects as many, perhaps more, poor
whites than poor Negroes.

MAYOR OPPOSES
FIRE SERVICE
Expresses Opinion City
Apparatus Should Not
Be Sent to Middlebury

The fire board yesterday appoint
ed committee to investigate the
merits of continuing to cover Mid
dlebury fires by the local fire depart
ment.
The subject came up for discussion
after a letter was received from
Middlebury, with :. check Of $50 in
appreciation for aid in a recent fire.
Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh said
Mayor Patrick M. Perriello called
him to his office recently and in
formed him that he disapproves of
sending local equipment to fight Mid
dlebury fires. The chief said Mayor
Perriello told him someone might
get hurt, and there exists no agree
ment covering such an eventuality.
Chairman Frank Healey reviewed
the practice of sending equipment to
aid at Middlebury fires, saying that
the local department covers all fires
there except brush and similar minor
blazes. He said it has been the GUS
tom for Middlebury to acknowledge
the service with checks Of varying
amounts.
The committee appointed to in
vestigate the matter includes Burton
H. Walker. VILLAIN Verriker and
Chairman Healey.
Applications for appointment to
the call force were received from
Frank Place and John Cristofano.

tence Suspended

Theodore Polyps, third violator Of
the Sunday sales statute, was Civ
en- a suspended sentence with .
warning by Judge John L. Gaffney

Judge Gaffney said there was no

Attorney George Crocicchia, who
defended Polyps, said q clerk at
Polyps South Main street store
made the sales last Sunday. He
declared the clerk was not aware Of
the law. Attorney Croicchia also
tried to draw a distinction between
the sale of fresh meat, and the sale
Of canned goods which he admitted
Polyp's clerk sold last Sunday.

Children Take Chances

Despite warnings by police and
the traffic committee of the Nauga-
tuck Chamber of Commerce, there
are still many children who ride
bicycles at dusk or night-fan here
without lights.
As yet no accidents have occurred
but unless the practice Is stopped,
it seems a certainty that some chill
dren will be hit by cars which do
not see them in time. The state
law requires bicycles to be equipped
with lights for night travel and now
that standard time has returned
darkness sets in much earlier and
more children are on the streets with
lightless bicycles.
Parents are asked to cooperate in
this respect and to remember that
their child IS in grave danger OF &C
cident If he or she is riding a BIZ
cycle at dusk or night without a
light.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In ancient times there were no
fast working machines to turn out
coins. The common way to make
coins in olden times was to pound
"die" against metal. The die often
was of wedge shape, and this ex-
plains why our word coin" goes
back to a Roman word for wedge" :"
Most coins, but not all, have been
Of circular shape. In ancient times
many coins were oblong, oval, square
or some other shape, not circular.
In Holland today we find square
nickel or scent piece, passing
around as money. The Island of
Ceylon also has square nickel.
In both cases the corners of the
square are rounded little 50 per-
sons handling the nickels will not
be scratched.
Designs of one kind or another
were stamped on early coins. Now
and then these were only letters
standing for the name of the city
where the coins were put out Thus
Corinth for time stamped its
coins with the Greek letter Ok"
The city of Ephesus, in Asia Minor,
issued a coin with words on it
which meant II am the badge of
Phanes."
More often the images of gods
and holy animals were placed on
coins. The Greeks had a sacred
tortoise on one of their coins, and
other Greek coins carried outlines
Of bulls and owls.
