is a place for carelessness in life. AS
Christians and as churchmen we
must reckon up the cost of many q
venture and I am not myself en-
amoured Of the Ill planned project
and unfinished task. But we also say
that we are less than fully Christian
if our lives do not show forth a
divine carelessness in the face Of the
anxieties and distresses of the world.
Say what you will about carefulness
and security, these are but part of
the picture of the good life.. AS DR..
w. E. Orchard, a great English
preacher who was recently at Yale,
once said, Just as there is a lower
careleSsness which means death to
the soul, so there is a higher care
lessness which is the supreme gift of
religion" And I do firmly believe
that the best way to save ourselves
from the lower selfishness and care
lessness of life is to cultivate the
higher carelessness which Jesus
praised in our text"

Johnson To Oppose
Congressman Smith
Newspaperman Wins Nomination on Fifth Ballot
Plans Aggressive Campaign in Fifth District

Frank T. johnson, who was NOM
mated for congressman at the fifth
district Republican convention al
The Elton Saturday afternoon, plans
to wage an aggressive campaign in
an effort to wrest the district from
Democratic control and unseat the
incumbent, Congressman ]. Joseph
Smith. The latter win be renominat-
ed by the Democrats at the district
convention in Torrington this Sat
urday.
The victory for johnson came on
the fifth ballot, after the contest
had settled down to q contest be-
tween him and Col. Roy Rice, OF
Woodbury., who as the candidate
two years ago lost the election by
only a handful OF votes. johnson
local political reporter and Thomas
ton resident, had strong backing in
Litchfield county. He had water
bury's eight votes after the second
ballot. The break" In the conven-
ton came when States Attorney
William H. Blodgett, Of Winsted, re-
leased his delegates and enough OF
them swung to johnson to insure
his nomination. The fifth ballot
vote was II for johnson to SO for
Rice.
Six Nominated
Placed In nomination, as the con-
vention started, were Johnson, Rice
Austin L. Adams of Middlebury
Senator Claude Badger of Wolcott
Blodgett, and Frederick w. Palomba
of Waterbury. Several votes went to

his name was not offered formally
In his acceptance speech and in
an address at a rally yesterday
johnson served notice that he will
base his campaign on fortnight op-
position to the New Deal, which he
labelled "a dire calamity"
The surprise of the convention
was the lack of strength shown by
Adams and Badger, both Of whom
were expected to get many more
votes than they did. Shifts Of votes
began to narrow down the race, I'M
til finally only johnson and Rice
were left.

DEEP, DEEP THE cR1cKETs
By THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Deep deep summer, the crickets say
AS lost as needles in the hay
they make their sleepy sound all day.
1t seems to tuck the warmth around
the NOV wherein their voices sound.
Soon the horned owl boots on the hill,
the pond ice cracks in the evening chill,
and the startling comes to the window sill
Still it is summer. Winter will keep.
Down in the hay the crickets peep
Above them the half-grown kittens creep
and with carefully measured leap
pounce on their mother fast asleep.

HAWAH-ALASKA CRUISE BLOCKED BY WAR ABROAD

War in Europe is generally re- garded as responsible for cam cellation of the planned 1940 summer cruiser from New York via the Panama Canal to Hawaii and Seward of the Swedish Am erican liner Gripsholm.
 Word received by Brice H. Howard, Fairbanks agent for the Alaska Steamship Company, re- presenting the Swedish Ameri- can Line for the projected cruise stated that the Gripsholm is now at Gothenburg, Sweden, unable to leave. The Gripsholm was or iginally scheduled to sail from New York on the HaWaii-Alaska Cruise June 28.

be financially unable to make a long -dreamed-of Alaska Cruise from that point. Now, instead of abandoning that dream, or at least being put to the expense of retracing the trip to Seattle and thence to Alaska at some impro- ba.ble date in the future they could use the travel credit plan and go the whole way at one time and at a great saving.
 Nearly all the of the railroads in the United States are party to this installment purchase plan, which permits of travel any where.

NEW TRAVEL CREDIT PLAN IN EFFECT

NEW YORK - Into the news comes an announcement that will bring cheer to the hearts of the legions of substantial Americans who want to travel but "can't spare the money just now" The announcement brings assurance to millions that the slogan, "1940 is TRAVEL AMERICA YEAR." really means something after all. From now on you can literally travel and pay later.
 A travel Credit Plan, sponsor ed by 66 great railroads, makes possible the purchase of railway trips and tours in the same man ner that you buy your car or radio-on convenient payments.
 The plan, which became effec- tive May 20 is exceedingly sim pie. The prospective user merely goes to the ticket office of the cooperating railway over whose lines he wishes to travel, or to a travel agent, and makes applica- tion for credit in the amount of the cost of the proposed trip or tour If the routine credit inquiry indicates an ability to meet monthly payments, he is notified that his ticket is ready for him. The only contact in connection with the application is with the ticket or travel agent, just as though the ticket were being pur chased for cash. The application is passed upon within twenty four hours.
 Use of the Travel Credit Plan requires no collateral-only the signature of the individual. The cost of the proposed trip however must total $50 or more to be elig ible for purchase on credit. No down payment is required. There is nominal service charge for the credit accommodation.
 A nationwide survey of the vacation and travelling practices of average Americans indicates that many persons are frequently forced to forego trips or Vaca- tions because of financial strin- gency right at the only period of the year in which they can get away to enjoy themselves. For such individuals or families the credit service is seen as a veri table boon.
 Others will use the plan, it is expected, who might have Suffic- tent cash to make a trip, but who would have to compromise on it's extent or would be forced to ec onomize too rigidly in order to meet normal expenses of travel ing, apart from the actual rail way fare. By taking advantage of the credit for the purchase of all or a part of the actual transporta ton, the trip could be made in proper fashion and with vastly increased enpoyment.
 As an example of the potential money-Saving advantages of the plan, an addition to it's conven- fence, a railways spokesman cit ed the hypothetical case of an eastern or midwest couple who might plan a tour taking them as far as Seattle but who would

ashamed Of them, so that they don't
even put them into words for them
selves. ~
It would be all right If the aver
age mans ambition was noble or
impressive. But 1t Isn't so easy for
him to admit that what he wants
Is to make his name important
enough to command respect, or to
build the finest houses In town, or
to be able to call the big shots in
his profession by their first names.
So, since most of his ambitions
aren't anything he Is especially
proud Of, a wife has to be smart
enough to figure out for herself
what kind Of success is important
to her husband.
And she doesn't have to be so
smart at that. If man is terribly
impressed by the social position Of
others, she can be pretty sure that
the way for her to do her part is
to play the social game for him.
Or, II he admires the Doolittles,
who do pretty much as they please
and don't bother with anyone they
don't consider fun, his wife can see
to 1t that they have time for con-
genial friends, whether there is time
for the fright" people or not.
It takes time, Of course, for a
woman to And out what things her
husband wants and considers Inn
portant. And 1t isn't something she
can learn once and for all. She has
to keep on the lookout for new
signs and hints. Because just as
soon she gets one thin, he Is
bound to want something else.
And If she Is to be q real help
to him, she has to keep moving.
