ofiicial told q reporter for the
Democrat today, and the city can
be assured that the circus will be
In town again next year to give
Waterbury youngsters and grown
ups the big thrill that O circus
always does.
Capacity Crowds
The circus man to whom the
Democrat reporter spoke stated
that not only was the big tent
crowded almost to capacity for
both performances, but that the
sideshow also had one Of Its big
gest days OF the season while here.
In addition to this the money
spent on peanuts, popcorn and
crackerjacks, and pink lemonade
was "the tops. "The circus had
q big day In Waterbury," the CIR
Gus man said, land Tn sure Wa
terbury enjoyed the circus" He
said that circus men consider the
present circus one OF the best In
circus history and Waterburians,
judging from opinions expressed,
felt likewise.
Waterbury Is rated In the cir
Gus world as one Of the queer
est cities" In the country and
this Is the reason that the circus
has skipped the city many years.
At one time the city jumped the
tax TO o point where the circus
would not "go for II" and stayed
out Of the city for several years.
1t was brought back here finally
when Mary 0uilfoile, young
daughter Of former Mayor Fran
els p. Guilfoile, started TO take
up O penny collection among the
youngsters to pay the additional
tax demanded here Of the city so
that the circus could come To
town.
In Decline
The late Dexter Fellows, one Of
the greatest circus press agents
Of all times, figured young Miss
Guilfoile's stunt one Of the best
advertising moves that he ever
experienced. On many occasions
after Miss Guilfoile brought the
circus back to Waterbury, for
some reason or other the crowds
fell Off with the result that Wa
terbury was CROSSED of the cir
Gus map. Il Is now definitely
back on however.
The circus, while II took plenty
Of money out OF Waterbury, left
plenty here and brought business
to waterbury merchants In vol
ume. Everybody seemed TO have
the spending spirit, II Is generally
pointed out, and pocketbooks,
which had not been opened for O
long time, were opened up wide.

crowds at the matinee and even

were as good as any since the cir

mean, however, that applications

will be called into service only for

the country Is becoming alive TO the
peril OF unpreparedness, and our

on preparedness was not an empty

overseas. Events followed fast
The President asked for and re-
ceived almost wartime authori-
ty. He asked, and got, nearly Is
billion dollars to build a two
ocean navy, to enlarge and mod
ernie the nations land forces, to
begin a program of building So
900 fighting airplanes.
Overnight Realization
Overnight the realization that
we were on the verge of war sub
merged all other considerations
in Washington. Congress enacted
the first peace-time CONSUMPTION
measure in our history. 1t enac-
ted tax measures which, though
inadequate, are the most far
reaching since our last participa-
ton in a war. It authorized the
re-eStablishment of the Council
on National Defense. And it ac-
cepted without resentment the
Presidents personal and unau-
thoriZed agreements with Britain
and Canada, for mutual defense
and for the exchange of fifty of
our fighting ships for naval and
air bases off our Atlantic coast.
Four months ago the shrewdest
forecaster could not have ven
tured to predict the revolutionary
economic. political and social up
sets that have occurred since the
first of June. 1t would be Silly
for any prophet to undertake to
say what is going to happen in
the next few weeks.
