pat. Not a wheel turns until we're actually forced out" Meanwhile through the association they are preparing :. test case in federal court at Cincinnati which they hope will yet save these nominal nomads from becoming nomadic. TRAILERS REFUSE
 TO ROLL
 Mrs. Betty Robbins, who runs a downtown camp in which % trailers squat with every sign of perma- nency, says Were just going to sit back and see what happens. We don't hurt anybody. We aren't a public nuisance. We don't cause the police any trouble. There's no sick ness in my camp-not as much as I've had in my own 13-room house which adjo.ns it. What have they got against us?"
 Mrs. Aletha Wilkinson, who lives in the Robbins camp, goes farther. 'Trailering saved my life," she says. Healthy? Before I took up trailering I weighed 115 now I weigh 149. I'm staying right here"
 Meanwhile, anyone who has any good ideas about how to get wheels back under 5000 trailers and start them rolling can make a big hit for himself with the De- troit police department.

has said the same. The corpora ton counsel and the police chief have said the same. But the trail- erfolk aren't moving.
 About 85 per cent of those 5000 trailers are occupied permanently, estimates Assistant Corporation Counsel Nathaniel H. Goldstick. A woeful lack of up-to-date license plates on the trailers seems to bear him out.
 PROHIBIT OCCUPANCY
 MORE THAN 90 DAYS
 So Detroit passed ordinances making it unlawful to live in a trailer more than 90 days in any 12-month period in any one camp. If that w1re strictly enforced, it would put all the trailer camps out of business, for it also pro- vides a license fee of $1O per trailer space per year. So the trailerites, through the National Trailer Coach Association, asked for an injunction to prevent en- forcement of the edict Move on." Just the other day municipal court threw out their petition.
 Now, after a short period of grace, police directed by the Health Department are going to start trying to get the trailers to rolling. Practically unanimously tEe trailerites say Were standing

 No sign of a sham. Turbulent March,
 Good riddance to you, You roared and you roared, And oh, how you blew! What relief
 To write April first, After a winter that went
 From worse to worst. April the first,
 We greet you with thanks, Along with the rain
 And April fool pranks. In like a lion.

 As long as you're out.

SOUTH BRITAIN BRIEFS
BY BILL GARRIGUs

All Fools Day is probably a good time to uncork a little gen. uine poetry. Charley Bradley, ore time Keeper of the Bridge but now resident of Cheshire, got so lonesome the other day that he wrote the following in- spiring lines: "The days ere dark and dreary, The nights are long and cold. Iris easy to get weary When you're getting old. All folks have their troubles, 'Spose mine could be worse. But there's mighty little plea
 sure, Just wait II for the hearse.'
 What Charley needs is a good slug of felt boot cider. Back in the old days, Charley didn't write, as gloomy verse. He chnckled and his lines lad the verve and bite of mellOwed wine. (SOme folks claimed different, of course, but you can't please anybody. The guy who said he didn't have time to read trash" was seen with his nose in a picture book the other day. That sam day a drummer from Bridgeport stopped at Me- Carthy's store and ordered copy of "They FOun' A Way"
 Charley Bradley was keen ob- server. Mighty little got past him. If a fellow drew long bow and told yarn that sounded far fetched, Charley made note of it and reacted accordingly. Few peo- pie ever put anything over on Charley Bradley and those that did soon heard repercussions. Lots of those repercussions took the form of rather lively poetry. Something like the following:-l There are two chairs in Mc-
 Carthy'S store That are held daily to the floor By two of South Britain's notor-
 ious liars, Our Deacon Bill and Old John
 Squires."
 Charley never withheld credit. He gave everyone his due and his poetry could be either pleasant or puckery, depending on the day, the ph .se of the moon, and the price of milk. Charley scrubbed this one on barndOor:- 'NOne on the Purchase are so
 great
 As Franklyn Evarts and his son
 Nate. None in the valley are so smart As our worthy deacon and his
 son Art"
 Somebody should have promo ted Charley Bradley. Lots of big time poet,5 couldn't hold candle to him nd his collected works would have sold heavily. Charley just didn't have enough push to crowd in on the long -haired crowd and get money for his verse. His poetry was just like the man, free and easy, honest ond wholesome. There's a deuce of vacancy in this village since Charley Brad- ley moved to Cheshire.
 If Charley were here now, per- haps he would write some poetry about our zOning board. Nailed beside the South Britain Post Office sign, only twice as big and much mOr cOlorful, is soft drink advertisement that iden- tifies "C0ndOn's Store" Nobody heard anything abut meeting of the zOners to authorize such a display. Over on Main Street. in Southbury. out in front of the bull barns of the rather, quiet artificial breeding association, another over sign offered Turkeys and Sausage for Sale. Charley could have writ ten poetry about these signs, too. His verse might have caught the eye The New Yorker, or one of the big slicks from the city. Just think of the publicity Charley could bring to Britain, if he really 'ot mad and rolled up his sleeves.
