MADE ON BRIDGE REPAIRS
Project Nears Completion Says Engineering
 Department

Repairs to the Washington avenue bridge will be finished within the next three weeks, Assistant City Engineer Henry Whitlock told the board of public works at a meeting last night. The bridge has been closed to vehicular traf1ic for the past several months.
 When the bridge was first closed, only temporary repairs were planned. Then it was claimed that an entire new structure. was needed. and the subject was debated for several weeks. Finally it was said again that temporary repairs could be made, and they were started. The repairs are supposed to make the bridge uSable for another two or three years.
 The Nv Haven Road Construc- tion Co. was given an extension of time to October 27 to. complete the Watertown avenue paving project. Hearings on the installation of curbs and sidewalks on the east side fo the street will be held Oc- tober IS.
 The Hopeville Community clubs request for extension of sewer on Tracy avenue and continuation of the layout of Edgewodo avenue was referred to committee. Also referred to committee were complaints by James VerraStro of Wolcott street concerning low water pressure, and Joseph Longo of Court street of lack of sewer facilities. The same course was followed with renewed complaints about extension of the Wayland avenue sanitary sewer be- yond Midland avenue. The request of Austin Drouin of Benefit street for permission to connect with nearby sewer was referred to the plumbing inspector, with power to act.
 Installation of new street lights, subject to approval of the board of aldermen, was voted. The lights are to be placed as follows:
 Oakville avenue, Bennett avenue, corner fo Lyman; Elliott street, Congress avenue extension, Sudbury street, PlattS Mills road, Piedmont street extension, Hill avenue, Nev- file, street, off Washington, Kramer avenue, back of Raymond, Shelton street, Macauley avenue, Walnut street extension, East Farms street, 1896 North Main street, Chase parkway, Stephana lane and Gar den Hill road.

shining symbol of what America is and what she may become.
 Now rises the question - how much does the possession of this bowl mean to us? It is all we have. How much do we stand ready to sacrifice to preserve a heritage for our children? Thieves are abroad. If they should take this bowl of owns, it would not be to use for themselves, even, but to destroy it utterly. The best we should get in its place would be a factory product, one of many dealt around the world like fiat, unmarked metal disks, from a thick and heavy pack. If we should lose our bowl, shaped in freedom, there would be no material and no free hands, any, where, ever, for the making of another. If we should lose this. ..
 But we are goin gto keep it.
 They asked me to say what the American way of life means to me, what I think it means to all of us. This is what I say (and as I know and love you all, I swear it to be true):
 It means everything. If we are ever forced to fight for it, we shall understand fully that death, in its truest sense, will come to every American man, woman, child-un- less we win! Set against the loss of all we have, or might ever have, no cost will be too great. They ask whether we are prepared for sacrifice.
 I say to them:
 Call on us! Ask us for sacrifice! We have been ready and waiting a long time. When you ask US you will see.

lPlease, God, help me to do itD With the first declaration of our Independence, our forefathers be- gan making a bowl. They had never made one before. They had nothing to make it of but the brown earth of America and the blue sky above, nothing to make 1t by but the fires they had kindled with flint and fagot.
 But they were through forever with impractical, unbecoming En- glish china. So they knelt together, mixed, shaped, patted. baked--and produced a bowl of their own. It was not perfect. It may not even have been beautiful, but it seemed so to them. It stood up sturdily on its pale brown base, and when they looked over it's blue rim, down into the deepest part, the very heart of it, they saw brave, bright colors, in stripes, and a Self1eSS, deathleSS shine of stars, which stood not only for what America was but for what she was going to be.
 We still have this same bowl We have altered it constantly in shape and size, sometimes as much as we felt it needed, sometimes only as much as we were able. It is stiN not perfect. There are those now quick to tell us that it is still not beautiful It has never yet held all the good things we should like to find in it.
 Sometimes, of our fish chowder, baked beans, corn meal mush, the greedy at the table have taken a glutton'S share. But gluttons come naturally by their punishment. The important part is that the bowl is ours, that all which has gone into it is ours, that, nothing has ever made change in it except our own hands-your hands and my hands directed by our own hearts-your heart and my heart. And not only Americans but the whole world now sees in it, more clearly. than ever, that brave, bright,

Former Deputy Aspires To Be State Comptroller John M Dove One of Connecticut's Best In- formed Men on States Finances Democratic
 Nominee for Ofice-World War Veteran

John M. Dove of Danielson. Democratic candidate for state comptroller, is no stranger to the. duties of the office he is seeking. From 1885 to 1889 he served as chief deputy to Comptroller Charles c. Swartz. By virtue of his experience, he is acknowledged to be one of Conencticut's best in- formed men on the administration of the comptrollership.
 In addition to his working knowledge of the office, Dove can point to a Connecticut heritage that few candidates can match. His family has been prominently identified with civic and business affairs in Wilndham County for many generations. His great grandfather, Amasa Dove, was a Democratic representative in the General Assembly of 1859, and his grandfather, Marshall P. Dove, was postmaster of Danielson dur- ing President Grover Cleveland'S administration.
 Born in Killingly September l, 1896, Dove graduated from the Killingly High School. He was a student at Brown University when the United States entered the World War. Like the Democrat gubernatorial candidate, Robert A. Hurley, Dove left college to enlist in the army. For eighteen months he served overseas with the 1O3rd Field Artillery of the famed Yam kee Division.
 In 1881 and 1893 Dove repres- ented Killingly in the State Legis- lature. When the Windham County Democratic Organization was organized in 1881, he was elected secretary; later that same year he was advanced to the pres idency, a post which he still re- tainS.
