 The children of that captain and his wife are still here. The vast majority of Americans still work their way, whatever estates they may inherit. Most Americans who gor to college now work their way through as surely as their fathers did when they came driving their estate on the hoff, in yoke of oxen, to the college door. And those who have tried to persuade us that there is one set of Americans who work and another who sit back and live off the fat of the land and the sweat of others deserve to be hanged.

MUSICAL EXPERTS
 ARRANGE CONTEST
Winners of "Learning=tO= Listen" Quiz to COnl-
 pete Shortly

Experts of Wednesday evenings Learning -to-Listen" musical quiz will be challenged by new team of musicians over Station WATR this evening at 10:15 o'clock.
 The participants of tonight's quiz will be the Wednesday night champions, Miss Helen Schauster, Teddy Meyers and Joseph Breen versus the challengers Alexander Wolozin, Murray Liebowitz and Miss Mary Feest.
 The quiz, conducted by Walden Trimble and Miss Pauiette Wolo- gin, is presented under the aus pices of the WPA Adult Education Program of Waterbury. The pur- pose of the program is to interest MT. and Mrs. Waterbury in the new Learning -to-Listen" music series which opens Monday night at 7:15 in the music room of the Bronson Library. The course, it. self, is especially directed to those people who don't know thing about good music but who would like to know. It is taught simply, without technical probing into those things that chiefly concern the musician and the composer, not the listener, without long -winded lectures-in short, largely by lis tening to great music itself.
 Historical and descriptive notes accompany each program with musical explanations given by MT. Trimble and Miss. Wolozin. Soft lights and floral decorations en- nance the atmosphere of the Learning g-to-Listen" classes.
 The beginners course, to be giv- en each Monday night, is designed to give the layman a keener under standing of what the composer is saying in tone, and will acquaint the listener with the instrumental voices of the symphonic orchestra. The great orcheStras of the world, directed by master conductors will be brought to the Learning to- Listen" class, via concert grand photograph, which reproduces the music perfectly.
 Each Tuesday night, the advanc- ed class will meet at 7:15 and on Wednesday night, the Waterbury Pops" concert series will be reSum- ed. The Pops" concerts, which was attended by WaterburianS from all walks of life, proved to be much needed musical activity in the Brass City and this year, more than ever, every effort will be made to honor requests.
 Learning -to-Listen" and the Pops" concerts are two of many outstanding adult courses, spon- sored by the WPA Adult Education Program. For complete information concerning the courses in swim- ming, cooking and fancy pastries, sewing, badminton, arts and crafts, piano, photography. and interior decoration, call Crosby high school
 Attention is called to anothe. musical quiz program which will be held Sunday over WATR, the time of which will be announced

OFFICIALS SEEK RATE REDUCTION
Conference With C. L. &P. Co. Officials Planned in
 Near Future

Controller Thomas Conlon and Budget Director Thorvald Olsen to- day planned an early conference with officials of the Connecticut Light & Power Co.,, to seek reduc- tion in the charge made against the city for lighting of streets. The two were appointed by the board of finance yesterday to attempt to secure 9 lower rate.
 The two-man committee was ap- pointed after MT. Olsen had pointed out that charges for new street lights, instead of being made only once, are instead added to the city's annual bill and must be paid year after year. MT. Olsen said that if the city spent in full its appropria- tion of $1,000 for new street lights, the bill for next year would be $1 900 more. The annual cost is now about $110,000, he said.

keepers, be proud of it, and work and grow tough in our muscles and minds once more.
 We have allowed a few snobs to talk about racial superiority in 8 country built in its beginnings and through it's history out of score of different nationalitieS and strong with the strength of the best in them all.
 What we need to do is to recover our old solitude, our old assurance, and great pride. We need to get back to our fathers belief that any man who works hard and stands up straight and independent and bosses his own soul, no matter what race he comes from, is worth all the machines and kingdoms and theories of statecraft in the world Faith in working manhood is what we have grown by. If we keep that faith, Democracy will be safe from all the buzzards of Fas- cism and Nazisrn and Communism on the face of the earth. For those buzzards feed on carrion, where tht people are dead or marked for death Where people are really alive they are never found.
 Let's be Americans again.
