DAD WESLEY DE WEST
TAMPA
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-06
, One Days Work

The story of the Rev. Francis x. Quinn, curate at Roman Catholic church, in lower New York City, is thrilling one. Father Quinn is the priest who was sum- moned from nearby church last Sunday to aid police in capturing young bandit. The youth had engaged in lunch-room hold-up and fleeing upon the arrival of police hid in an apartment where he cowed it's occupants, an elderly man and woman. He threatened to shoot either or both if the police burst in on him.
 It was then that Father Quinn, a short, Stocky priest, was called. He may have quailed inwardly at the task set him, reasoning with Wild--eyed gunman, but he certainly didn't show it during the long hour that he spent several feet away from him, pleading with him, arguing, cabling, praying certainly. And finally his persuasion broke down the youths resistance and he handed over his pistol and went along with the police to face charges.
 One newspaper account described Father Quinn as "small, mild man.. Recalling the Father Quinn we knew be- fore he had studied for the priesthood or had been ordained, the description seems most apt. A slender youth, low-voiced, Solitude-seeking he probably never dreamed of the day when his name would be heralded through the land as bandit soother. It is not recorded that he hesi- tated when police told him what was to be done and the danger that surrounded him. It might have been a routine sick call and after it was over he returned, no doubt, quietly to his parish church, there to continue his customary duties, a hero in the eyes of his felloWmen; in his own, still humble servant of the Divine Master, one of whose children had erred and must be shown the foley of his ways

New Taxes Unnecessary

There was quite time at Hartford this week when number of interested groups tried to persuade the Finance Committee to report favorably the bill establishing state income tax in Connecticut. The organizations that are lending the most support to this proposal include the State Grange, the Farm Bureau Federation, and number of others. But the main support is from the organizations whose members comprise the residents of the rural areas These would be the ones who are least affected by such an income tax.
 Personally we don't think Connecticut has arrived at point where it needs to tax individual incomes Uncle Sam does this and we raise considerable fuss about it. Why add to the taxpayers worries by saddling just another one on him. The idea is that the tax would hit only those who would be able to pay it. That's always the way with new forms of tax ation, but somehow or other all of us manage to become involved before the tax is very old. AS Professor Fred K. Fairchild of Yale University said you don't solve problems by lifting tax bur dens from one place and putting it on another.
 What this state should do and what organizations like tte Grange might encourage is less government spending. If we resolve that we will get along with out some governmental services we now receive, it won't be long before the high price of government would come tumbling down. Such retrenchment might be abolishing departments or consolidating them; it might even be decreasing gov- ernment personnel. But whatever it would be it would mean that the taxpayers burden could be lessened and that's the cure-all for the situation we face today.

been turned back to forest. Last year the National Forest Service supervised plant ing of 140,O00,000 trees, on 154, ,000 acres of lard in 31 states. This, mark you, is land previously cut over and deforegted. And the total acreage does not include a great deal of forest planting done by states and private individuals And it represents the work of only one year, while such work has spurted ahead tre- mendously year after year throughout the last decade.
 The mid-western shelter-belt is becom- ing reality today. It was mere day. dream few years ago, yet already there is reason to hope that it will be of defi- mite service in holding back the creeping advance of the dust bowl. All this, with areas like those around IVA, Bonneville, and thousand smaller river projects, are actually changing the face of our country before our eyes, and changing it for the better.
 We may have utmost faith that those millions of trees will represent national wealth in the future in the form of tim Der and lumber products, to say nothing of their effects on upholding the water table and preventing erosion. The land bought by the government may always be sold back to citizens should the time come when it is needed. The new lakes and dams have enriched the life of their neighborhoods. We have spent lot of money. But we also have something to show for it.

Europeans Study America

Americans used to go abroad to com plete their art or professional studies, or for a final bit of polish to perfect their education. The situation is rapidly being reversed Americans still travel abroad, but chiefly for sightseeing. Europeans are coming here more and more to study our methods in business, industry and modern living.
 The steamship companies have been among the first to recognize the new trend, and have furthered it by preparing special tours for such visitors. They have made exhaustive studies in various ir1- dustries, crafts, trades and professions and now offer interested foreigners ob- servation tours in these fields.
 The same thing should be done for travellers interested in our historical de- velopment and in our extremely varied climate and scenery. Few Europeans can take in all of this country in a single trip, but they should be encouraged to see more of it than New York and Niagara Falls

Changing Americas Face

So vast is this great country, so endless it's spaces of forest and plain and swarm ing cities that it is hard to comprehend it. During the past few years changes have taken place in the mere physical aspect of the country that would have staggered anyone to whom they had been sug- gested, say, in 1921. For instance: it is usually said and believed that the con- mon domain, or publicly owned lands, is exhausted and approaching finish Yet since 1883, the federal government has bought from private owners 26,OOOOOO acres of land costing around $218,OOO, ,OOO, an average of about $8 an acre.
 That is an area larger than Massachu- setts, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Con- necticut, Delaware and Rhode Island com- bined. It is an area almost as large as all England, and about the size of the Czechoslovakian republic swallowed by Germany. The public domain, in other words, which we thought about ex- hausted, has greatly increased, not de- creased, in recent years.
 Tremendous areas of the country have

Selected Poem
SURPRISING APRIL


 Maurice English in the New York Times) Now Winters broken the moist underfoot Is sudden with the promise of the soil Root of the alder and the lilac-root Remember Spring, with sudden sinew toll To bring green leaf and lilac to the air, Where they may hang upon the season crowned And have the Sun to be their fiatterer, Whose mingling warmth speeds riper mondays
 round.
 Regard how calmly in the crystal gaze The fluent clouds spread out the altered weather: The foreign fling of islands in blue haze Wrap as in wool, light as the braves headfeather. Flashed fairly-see you!-through the drift of cloud, And trillioned flying on the glint of waves, Dawn's leaping smile its almost-laugh- -aloud, Its bright behavior on this land 1t laves. And kindling so, the land puts on it's dear, Its glad demeanor, wassailing the day: Surprising April comes upon us here, And afterward the little month of May.
