This applies to very few cities
but to those to whom it does ap-
ply it must be hard not to have a

II. How to get the older gang
to come back to US and strength
Ell our local clubs and our Asso-
citation.
Our one greatest mistake was
that of chasing our older brothers
and sisters away instead of talk
ing their advise and waiting till
we were thoroughly able to take
up where they some day would
leave off. This problem of getting
the old bunch back confronts
every club in the Association.
Is. We lack the old Saxon sri-
rit. We must admit we are jeal-
Gus OF one another. All these
things go together to help break
up the good and install the bad.

the Group Conference and it's

Haddenlng Stories were heard
of the Saxon in general at this

and are as follows:
!. We as Saxons are ashamed
and afraid to admit that we arc
Saxons. Howe true this is. Have
you ever been guilty: If YOU
have, why don't YOU read the
book "Haxons Trough Seventeen
Centuries".
Z. Parents are beginning to
neglect their Saxon duties upon
their children.
Most children of Saxon decent
today can't speak. read or write
German or Saxon. Just stop for
one minute and think about that
how true it is.
5. Not enough SaXons sacrifice
enough time towards their people
If we stop and observe we
must admit that the majority of
our officers and Leaders in our
lodges are the same people, who
were there. when the Oreaniza-
ton was formed.
a. Conhiction of church and

How Time Flies

It seems only few years ago that the working force of the State Highway De partment was confined to small staff of men, the rolling equipment of the bureau extremely small, and the scope of it's annual operations limited. That was the day of the horse and buggy. True Connecticut had maintained system of roadWays under state supervision for few years prior to the beginning Of this century. Actually our first road commls- sion was organized in 1895, triple headed body, which only lasted two years before being replaced by one-man con- mission.
 Perhaps the real start of the Highway Department began in 1897 with this single departmental head. It IS interest ing to know that there have only been four departmental heads, including the present commissioner, William J. Cox, since that first beginning. But other changes have been many and, in fact, rather constant. A change is taking place right now. The department is growing out of the State Office Building in which it was supposed to find the answer to all it's problems a few years ago.
 Time was when the work of the High way Department could be done in a small space in the Capitol. By the time the Roaring Twenties' were upon us, though, the department was sadly uncomfortable. So the opening of the State Office Build ing in 1881 was godsend to this de- partment as well as others. But the "Terrible Thirties again found the de- partment's work demanding more em- ployes and more space. So now 125 employees are preparing to move into rent ed quarters elsewhere.
 Here's another angle of the automo- tive industry of which we seldom take account. Governent supervision of motor cars and the roads over which they are operated demands much, but certainly gives a lot in return.

 LATEST BOOKS

Books taking apart the legal pro-
 fessiOn and debunking the law
 have had quite vogue. Look at
 the Law" by Percival E. Jackson
 (DuttOn: $2.75), is more amusing
 reading than most because it is
 stuffed with concrete examples in
 which the law, if not "an asS,"
 at least ranges from the comic to
 the terrifying. Many phases of the
 question, Can you get a square
 deal in the courtS?" are examined,
 with examples, but one phase of
 the question has been stressed by
 MT. Jackson that is often omitted
 from similar books:
 The layman himself makes the law. But, unfortunately, he does not make it for himself. He makes it for "the other fellow" Though he advocates a law, and will vote for its adoption, he won't support it; he won't hesitate to break it down himself-when it serves his purpose to do so.
 The man who crosses the street cusses the taxi driver who almost runs him down while trying to beat the red light, and yells, There ought to be law" Yet he is the same person who threatens to "get" the cop who gives him ticket for passing light when he himself is driving.
 The layman talks big and acts small. He breaches the virtues and practices the vices. He advocates 8 standard of morality in law to which he refuses to subscribe in life. He calls for laws prohibiting prostitu- tion and gambling, and then patron izes brothels and race tracks. He ap- plauds the jailing of. Al Capone for income tax frauds, when he slips a bribe to an internal revenue agent to approve his own tax return.
 The layman's contempt for the legal system is boundless. He is in- censed at stupid or fixed verdicts of juries, yet he evades jury service. He clamors about the delays of the law. yet he instructs his lawyers to interpose technical and dilatory de- lenses to avoid his own days of legal reckoning. He. criticizes the vices of lawyers, yet he hires the slickest one he can find to enable him to avoid his own commitments.

The Easy Descent

Easy is the descent to Avernus," wrote Vergil, describing in his Aeneids the gentle slope down which Aeneas passed into the murky dwelling-place of the shades of the dead Easy, too, is the progression by which country after coun- try has been absorbed and their inde- pendent existence swallowed up. The last spectacular stages are easily seen, accompanied as they are by blitzkrieg fireworks. But that makes it all the easier to overlook the first easy stages by which the process was begun. It begins, believes Alexander Sachs, New York economist, with simple, harmless looking blateral trade agreement.
 A bilateral trade agreement is simply an agreement between two countries to exchange products on an exclusive basis. Other countries are squeezed out. Note that this is the very opposite to the Hull program, which extends equal treatment

 MUSSOLINI VS. CIANO =.
 Intelligence reports out of Rome indicate 8 widening rift between Mussolini and his handsome son. in-law and Foreign Minister, Count Ciano. The rift is over the Rome- Berlin Axis and whether Italy should enter the war.
 II Duce has a tremendous ad- miratiOn for the German mili- tary machine, believes it will win the war, and figures Italy's fate is definitely tied up with the Nazis. He is absolutely con- vinced, and nothing can move him, not even his sOn-in Jaw or the King and Grown Prince of Italy.
 Ciano, on the other hand, f1g- ures that in the long run the AL lies will win the war. Also he can- not help but note that all around him the Italian people speak of Mussolini with affection but as the "Old man., as if he were slip ping. Gle is the oldest of the dic- tatorS)
 AS far as diplomatic observers can find out, Ciano wants Italy to make all the money, it can dur ing the war, take whatever finan- cial baits are offered. and drive | the sharpest possible bargain re- garding new territory, but in the end side with France and Eng land. ! r

Notable Advance

A small item in the state newspapers last week may have passed by unnotlceo by those who scan the columns hurrledIy, but some must have paused to read to the end. Columns really could nave been devoted to the subject matter, for it goes back good many years in state history. The item simply stated, though, that the waiting list for our state tuber- culosis sanatoria was now reduced to 59. Why only a few short years ago 1t was up in the hundreds and officials saw no remedy for the situation. They vlsloned waiting lists down through the years.
 But an intelligent and forward-look- ing building program has done wonders for our several state sanatoria. It has transformed them from old ramshacke structures into the most modern type institution where the latest in medical and surgical care and attention are pro vided by expert hands. The original sanatoria are almost all lost behind the new fronts that have been put up, but not the original purpose and very humane management that has always character ized Connecticut's treatment of the tu- berculosis patient.
 There is good news ahead, too, for those who are patient sufferers from this dls- ease. The end of the year will find work finished at the sanatorium in Norwich. When this is over waiting lists can be abolished, so say the authorities. Their facilities will be adequate for our present needs. The patient will be admitted as soon as it is deemed necessary. And thlS again recalls Waterburys own experience in providing waiting-station for the sui ferer forced to wait long months for bed in sanatorium. It was noble ex- perience. We have contributed our bit towards alleviation of suffering. There is much consolation in this

A SHORTER BASEBALL SEASON;
(NeW York Sun)

In the first seven days of the current big league season only thirty games were played of fifty-six scheduled. Cold, snow, rain and wet grounds accounted for the post ponements. This is familiar story, so familiar that the proposal credited to Walter o. Briggs. owner of the Detroit Tigers, for shorter baseball season ought to get. a friendly reception. MT. Briggs would slice seven games of each end of the present 154-ganae schedule. At the start of the season baseball often encounters April in her most fearful mood; at the finish there is another encounter with football
 With a 140-game schedule, each major league team would play ten games at home with each other team and ten games away from home with each other team. There might be fewer synthetic double headers if shorter schedule were adopted. There would certainly be a greater opportunity for the American base ball fan to start the new season free from chills, sneezes and frozen pipes.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-04-29

The crack of baseball bat against the horsehide spheroid and the tang of a burning pile of leaves are sure signs of warm weather at hand. The first has been heard on many sand-lot of recent days when weeping clouds permitted; the second has also been seen. Of the latter there is this to be said, beware of rubbish piles that are to be burned. Heavy dam- age can be done in a few minutes by straying fire that began in pile of leaves or sWeepings.

Selected Poem
BOUNDARY OF A MOMENT

(Elias Lieberman in the New York Times) The theater behind us is dark. Indifferent violins have scraped us out; Suspense is over and doubt For heroine, villain, lover. N The play is over.
 Under a brilliant marquee We pause on reluctant feet. A fog has blurred the street. We see clammy hands of drowned men Reach out from the weedy depths of ocean Again and again.
 Under a brilliant marquee, Silence and darkness behind us, Mist with polychrome glow before us, We beckon taxi Mystery ship on Sargasso Sea, Sailing warily Gas foghorns remind us) On a spectral lane through sheen Red and green.
