HITLER SEEKS TO
 TERMINATE WAR
Wants Finnish : Russian Fight Over-Willing
 to Mediate

Paris, Feb. 6-(UP)-The news paper Paris Soir said today that Adolf Hitler wants to terminate the Russian Finnish war and had in- structed Foreign Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop to offer mediation.
 The newspaper said that Hitler had instructed the German foreign minister to convey to Moscow the willingness of the Reich government to mediate.
 The German foreign minister was described by the Paris Soir as hav- ing previously suggested 30-day armistice in the Finnish war with provision for plebiscite which would permit the Films to choose between the Helsinki government and the regime set up at Teriokl under protection of the Red army.
 The newspaper asserted that Rib bentrop had recalled to Berlin the German ambassadors at Helsinki and Moscow to discuss Hitler'S de- sire to terminate the war. In Ber- lin it was said the Ambassadors visits to Berlin had nothing to do with any peace move)
 French official dispatches recent ly have indicated that the Russians were unwilling to discuss any set clement in Finland until the Red army wins at least one important victory. After that, some French sources believed, the Moscow gov- ernment might be willing to consid- CT dropping support of the Terijoki regime.

 The Newington Home for Grip pied Children, situated at Newing- ton, Connecticut, provides hospital. school and home care for children. suffering from all types of crippling diseases. It is a State-aided inStitu- tion and a number of children from Waterbury and vicinity as well as from other parts of Connecticut are hospitalized there. The State of Connecticut pays 8 small sum for each patient and money from en- dowments for the Newington Home takes care of an equal amount. The balance must be either paid by the parents-or in the case of those who are unable to pay, it must be pro- vided through funds donated by the citizens.
 Children over sixteen are not ad- mitted as resident patients at the hospital, but are taken care of in the Out-patient department which is handled through the Connecticut Society. The society also pays the cost and arranges the treatment of out-patients, many of whom are over sixteen years of age, furnishes braces, crutches and other ortho- pedic equipment, maintains a full time social worker. At the Newing- ton Hospital the school goes from nursery school through high school and in addition to the academic subjects there is training in music both chorus and orchestra-as well as arts and crafts, manual training etc. They maintain 8 physical therapy department which carries on the supervised work of exercise and treatment. It also has a swimming pool for underwater exercises.
 The Newington Hospital takes in and cares for patients of all denom- nations and only recently the sum of $4,O0OO0 was donated to the hos pital by the Hartford Chapter of the Presidents Infantile Paralysis committee out of funds which they obtained in March of Dimes and the Presidents Ball.

good newspaper is one of the greatest as
sets city or village can have, and FORUM
ate are the merchants who have such me-
dunn in which to spread their advertising
messages"
A newspaper, it is true, occupies a
unique place in the business pattern of our
modern American cities. Each week news
paper publishers go quietly about their
work, collecting and presenting the news of
their communities. And this is important
work Within the power of the paper lies
the ability to unity and crystalline construc-
tive programs, and to publicize and help
destroy nefarious practices. 1t is task
which can not be taken for granted. Our
newspapers have helped to make our Amer
lean cities the greatest in the world.
Advertising is a natural by-product of
newspapers Notwithstanding activities;
and it is a potent force at the disposal of
merchants to reach their clients. Those
merchants who feel that they are support
ing the newspaper when they place an ad-
vertisement should turn their thoughts in
ward, and realize that the purchase of ad-
vertising space is an investment in their
own business. The value of advertising has
been definitely established and neither ad-
vertising nor community newspapers are on
trial. Advertising succeeds or fails only so
far as it corresponds with constructive
merchandising program of an individual
merchant. Fortunately, newspapers to rea-
lize their opportunity to be of greater serv-
ice and maintain on their staffs men cap
able of assisting in the business problems of
the merchant.
No, as Mr.. Palmer so strenuously OBJ
served, neither merchants nor a newspaper
can afford to take one another for granted.
They are all partners in civic and business
activity-and they must work comparatively
to achieve the greatest measure of success.

The lobbyist Is a
Community Builder

SPEAKING IN THE SLANGUAGE OF
the day, all work and no play makes
"jack," but also, as the seers and prophets
say, it frequently makes Jack dull boy"
Phrased and re-phrased the old bromide
concerning Jack and his work and it's effect
thereon has become a catch-all to permit
happy rationalization- continuance of
ones natural inclinations.
However, it is interesting to. note that
many of Newark citizens believe that Jack
needs diversion lobbyists are found in the
city literally in droves, and their avocations
pursue many pathways. A letter of DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes, recently published
in the Leader, met with widespread inter
est; and soon it was learned that many citi-
zens had quietly pursued the practice of col
lecting Holmes data for many years. And
there are other intellectual and athletic pro-
grams being followed. Churches, schools,
and civic and social organizations find
themselves hard-pressed to keep abreast
with the lively interests of keen-minded
populace.
No doubt this inclination to construc-
lively ollluoO O1lCOCl1 1lc1o OO q HOAAONo
part in building the stability and integrity
of Newark. The man. who takes time out
to interest himself in other pursuits than
the requisites of his business or profession
al life finds it impossible to follow mar
row pathway Soon he is drawn into groups
of similar interest, and there is broaden
ing influence in mingling with people and
learning to understand their problems. A
new civic consciousness results, and pro-
grams for improvement are planned. The
lobbyist is more apt to be happy human
than his neighbor who finds no relaxation
from daily problems.
And, for those who would claim that
hobby is useless frittering of time, it
might be observed that many a hobby has
been placed on profitable basis, and that
others have developed until they became
the chief bread-winning occupation. Inas-
much as Jack and his distortions have been
introduced, it may not be inappropriate to
observe that lobbyists have disproved
another ancient quotation, for many of
them are 'now eating their cake and having
it, too" And in the meantime they are
leading pleasant, constructive lives in a
community of which they may be justly
proud.

between themselves and their community
newspapers may result in distinct loss to
the community, Howard Palmer, Green
witch, Connecticut, newspaper publisher,
now president of the National Editorial
association, commented at recent conven-
tion of editors and publishers.
Despite the close relationship between
the merchant population and the newspa-
per, there is always the danger that the
business men of community and the news
papers will come to take each other for
granted" Mr.. Palmer warned
'"Too often the merchant looks upon the
newspaper salesman as something akin to a
nuisance as somebody looking for charity,
ito be silenced by giving him an advertise
Iment, as small as he can make it without
too strenuous an argument. Many mer-
chants feel-and I have no doubt this is
true in every town - that in advertising
they are helping to support the news
papers They fail to realize almost entire
ly the real function of the newspaper or
what it can do for them and the commun-
ity.
"The real fact, of course, is that mer-
chants and newspapers are dependent upon
each other for support. The merchant
needs the newspaper as much as the news
paper needs the merchant, if indeed not
more so. 1t is no exaggeration to say that

It Is Human and
Honest to Seek Applause

THE URGINGS OF DIR. ROLAND JONES,
president of the board of education, for
a spring festival to honor school accomplish
ments in painting, music, debate, drama
! and other arts will not go unnoticed in a
! city such as Newark. In proposing such
Z festival, Dr. Jones would recognize branch
es of education that are too frequently lg-
b nored in the cities in which they are quietly
! practiced.
i The athletics of our schools are accom-
; panied by fanfare that popularizes them
. in the community. And few indeed de-
: plore the acclamation that is accorded stu
I dent teams. There is tense excitement in
! the clash of spirited youths on the grid
!, iron and hardwood court; and there is ac-
complishment, too, in the athletic prowess
: of the teams; and drama in the efforts of
= a youngster to perfect himself and make
i the team" Valuable lessons are learned in
B athletics A little bruising helps boys to
F grow into men with sticks in their backs
to buck the problems of the day.
But there is equal drama in the striving
& of youths to attain mastery in other fields.
The artist learns to seek perfection in the
exact curvature of line, the young debat-
er prods his brain in an effort to out-Wit
!, the forensics of his opponent, the musician,
( too, learns the necessity for long hours of
preparation and practice for few mo-
ments behind the footlights.
It is natural, human and honest reac-
ton for students to welcome public recep-
Il tion after they have endeavored to master
: the problems of their chosen activities.
: And it is fitting that such recognition
q should be given At heart we are all ex-
). hibitionists-an the desire to appear in a
favorable light, or to be acclaimed the win
ner, will prod many a youngster to greater
efforts. Newark high school would no
: roubt dispense with it's football team if
!. there were no teams from other towns
to provide competition. Wrestling would
become an empty sport if there were no
opponents to test ones mastery.
Likewise students in the arts will renew
!, their interest if they are given greater
& recognition. DR.. Jones is urging festival
o that will go far beyond mere honor, and
: will tend to encourage and develop greater
x activity in the future. It is hoped that the
seed he has planted will find fertile ground
{ and will blossom into gala spring festival
d that will be long-remembered.
