1t is not quite correct to state there
is no Republican accord on any sub
ject relating to national problems.
All of them are thoroughly agreed
that whatever President Roosevelt
does or wants to do is wrong. With
this exception, however, there does
not appear to be a single topic on
which they can agree, which accounts
for the failure of the Glenn Frank
committee (Which is not dead, but
sleeping) to formulate even the first
blank of the platform they are suPpos'
ed to prepare.
With practical unanlmity, the Re-
publican Senators voted to deprive the
President of his authority to alter the
price of gold-that is, to devalue the
dollar This was done in the face OF
speech delivered by Editor Frank
Gannett, a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination neyt year. Mr.. Gan
nett explained that the distress OF
the farmers was due to one thing, and
one only. That was the failure OF the
president to further dcvalue the dol
lar. He pointed out. with many status
tics and much logic, that the average
price of the farmers products fluctu'
ates as the value CT gold fluctuates.
When gold is cheap. the price of farm
products is low and the farmers suf
ter accordingly, and when the gold

A Dire Comparison
Mr.. Gannett is shocked and dis

is now approximately one billion dol

how the country was aroused when

NEW CONTRACT AWARDED

A contract for the construction Of
a diversion canal anu holding ponds at

outlet structure at its downstream end

holding ponds.
The diversion canal will have bot

and whatever other groceries you
need for eating at the camp; Is cents
toll over Whitestone Bridge for your
car (leave the trailer at camp) and
Is cents toll back again Cor ride bus,
fare ten cents each); SO cents to park
in the parking grounds at the Fair;
rs cents admission for adults, rs cents
for children; Is cents each for the
Perisphere, which is a must because
it is the Fairs symbol; 10 cents for
the Town of Tomorrow, which also
ought to be must for any house
holder, and gas and oil.
We ate dinner at one of many res
taurants in the Fair grounds. My wife
had chicken and mushrooms with cof-
fee for go cents. ate salisbury steak
with coffee for so cents, and lamb
chops for the boy cost rs cents. For
lunch we had hamburgers and pie,
which ran us 20 cents each. 1t costs
nickel for pop or root beer at any OF
dozen stands. We got to the Fair for
lunch one day and had dinner there
that night. We had breakfast in camp
next day, lunch at the Fair and pulled
out late that afternoon for home.
Seeing New York
You can see something of New York
while you're at the Fair, for the mere
cost of gasoline. The night we arrived,
we took a 50-mile drive across town,
along the Hendrix Hudson Parkway
and back from the Battery up Broad
way to Times Square, then back to
camp. We had volunteer guide-one
of the officials at the camp.
The policemen 60 out of their way
to help visitor. One Of them talked
to us for half hour about things in
general while we waited for an OPEN
top bus next morning for sigktsee-
ing trip in Manhattan. In fact, any
New Yorker goes out of his way to
help Fair visitor.
We felt so much at home that when
we parked our car to catch a bus to
the Fair on our first days visit, we
forgot to make note of where we left
it; just walked away from it like we
would have done in Our own home
town. And believe it or not, we found
it when we came back in the rain
with the help of some of the passen-
gers on the bus.
Bear in mind that the cost of coming
to New York depends on how you are
willing to come. We had camp trail
er, slept in it, using a trailer camp
once, a cabin one night during pour
ing rain, using school grounds twice
with the permission of rural neigh
bors, and parking three times at fill
ing stations. It took us six days to get
here.
That $85 is an education worth
thousands, for boy of II, and worth
plenty more for his father and
mother. - Reprinted from the Ne,o Yors

Escalators and Ramps
About transportation; this fair is
great on saving shoe leather. 1t has to
be, it is so big that unless there were
lot of escalators and moving belts
the cobblers would have a field day
at every exit. You 90 up into the Per-
isphere on an escalator, and ride
around it on a moving belt; and
there's the moving belt at the GIN
building. Everywhere you find ramps
instead of steps, and the ramps are
exactly calculated to ease your legs as
you 60 up or down. Streets and walks
are asphalt, and the buildings gener-
ally have rubber composition flooring.
And if you want to ride, it costs dime

It is very hard never to be heed

one has become so accustomed to
things that they seem a part Of
everyday life. Then it is very, very
easy to forget, and SO to be needless.

The top of a tall dead weed which
came above the snow moved ever
so little, although there wasn't a
breath of wind. Reddy's eyes are as
keen as his ears are sharp. Right
close to that weed he saw a little
round doorway.
Swiftly Reddy sprang toward that
little round doorway and even as
he did so out popped Danny Meadow

and see If the way was clear.

cautiously, poking out no more of

it was wholly useless to expect to
catch Danny that way. But he kept
right on with his performance every
day. You see he was smart enough
to know that when Danny got so
used to it that he expected it every
day, he might grow needless.
Sure enough, it happened just as

Coaches To Choose All
 Star Starters On Friday
Crowd Of 5000 May Be On Hand For Big High School Grid Game
 Saturday.

Because of the keen competition for starting places on the combined Crosby Wilby-Leayenworth football eleven that will take to the turf of the new municipal stadium for the first time on Saturday after noon, Coaches 5chofield, Lee and Tracy have not picked the first |combined eleven from the three high school squads and will probably hold off their starting selections until Friday.
 That much was apparent today in discussing the forthcoming game in which Crosby, Wilby and Leaven- worth high school footballers will see action against the well-drilled St. Johns Prep team of Brooklyn, N. Y., uniformed scarlet and white lads coached by Herb Hess and pitted against the best opposition of their class in the metropolitan area.
 Probable Starters
 The three local captains. Bill Mancini of Crosby, Mike Mobile of Wilby and Bill Steinmetz of Leav- enworth, will in all probability, be among the first eleven to take the field against St. Johns, while other likely starters are Sugure of Crosby at center; A. Bartkus of Wilby and Lazesky of Leavenworth at guards; Mess of Wilby and Hunihan of Leavenworth at end; Roland of Crosby or Steinmetz of Leavenworth, quarterback; Mancini of Wilby and Traver of Leavenworth, halfbacks,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-21

Mobile of Wilby, fullback: Adomai- tis, Brown and Duncan will also see action in the backfield.
 High school bands, and St. Jo- seph's Fife and Drum Corps will provide music for the game; there are 5000 grandstand and bleacher seats set up, parking space for g. GOO automobiles. Four officials will handle the game including George Taylor, Dr. M. A. OHara, Al Nellie and F. T. Vincent. A high school student attendance of 4,000 is looked for with nearly that more of the general public.
 Tickets for the game are going well. The kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p. m.
