Without Meddling

Henry Ford says his huge automu-
bile plants can in six months be
gcarcd to production of Il thousand
airplaneS Il week if given the right
To work without government med
ding. And what an if that is. So
much 50 that under the condition
the motor magnatc lays down, the
chances lOr such an achievement are
practically nil.
Given the right of way Mr. Ford
would require, business and industry
III this country very likely long ago
would nave reduced unemployment
to vastly smaller proportions than
exist today. But no, the bureau
Gratis must have their little fun even
4, the expense of human misery.
And il remains to be seen whether
they are to be allowed to have their
way at the expense of speedy and
adequate arming for national de-
tense.
Instead of relaxing controls. every
indication points today to the prob
able tightening up Of government in
reference and mcddling under the
excuse and the alihi of coordination
of effort. Henry Ford is not likely
ever to have the chance to prove the
accuracy Of his statement.

Youth Fares Forth

Exercises at Henderson high
school tonight. in which diplomas OF
graduation will be delivered to
Lightweight students who have com
pleted their courses OF study, find
their counterpart in every city and
town at this season Of the year. Many
will 90 away to college OF unlver-
sitv to pursue their studies in the
higher arts by way OF preparation
for life work in a chosen field OF
endeavor.
For ten years young men and Wo-
men have been finishing their edu-
cation to step into a world that
seemed not too willing to receive
them and in some instances gave
them a cool reception. In measure
that is still true this year. but as
youth fares forth in 1910 it finds Il
new problem on its doorStcp-thc
threat Of total war. and the roper
cussions of that menace in the pro-
fcssions and industries where live
lhood ordinarily might be expected
to be found.
Verify our days arc full Of labor
and sorroW-at least SORROW if not
labor. 1t is no wonder the wide
world appears 10 youth as 4 barren
waste and 4 beWildcrmcnt. But not
all is lost: there yet is hope and
there is opportunity, even in these
times in which we live. People still
grow old and die and their, vacancies:
in life must be filled.
Let youth take heart; let it ac-
quirc courage These and hard
work, mixed with Il whale Of lot OF
determination, form Il combination
that brooks no failure but almost
inevitably brings success.
1t is much the same old story over
again Commencement orators have
pcalcd it forth these many decades.
Even the young graduates know it in
! advance; indeed know it so we'll they
are prone to overlook it. and therein
! they err.

 CONTEST STILL ON
Second Days Competition August "A; Winners for
 Opener Announced

The second day of competition for the anglers among the employees of the Scovill Co. will take place on Saturday, August 24th, whatever the weather may be. Like the previous day of competition, which was held on the 10th of this month, Satur- days fishing festivities will be at the Woodtick reservoir, and will last from l o'clock until dark.
 Prizes will be awarded in several categories, for the largest black bass, pickerel, perch, and calico bass, and there will also be a special consola- ton prize for the longest bu,lhead caught. James Harmon will act as scorer, and Leslie Hart will be judge, in the event that any disputes should arise among the various dis ciples of Izaak Walton.
 There will be two more days of competitive angling this season, on the 14th and 28th of September, and at the end of the season grand prizes will be given.
 Winners of the first contest were John Powlitis, for the largest black bass; Richard Capald, for calico bass: John DeLucia, for pickerel;

 The ordinance would forbid not only sidewalk stands, except news stands approved by the police, but bans along any street or sidewalk any cart, wagon, vehicle, box, stand, container or sign or any other h. ticle or thing whether for the purpose of selling or offering for sale, display or advertising of any article of food, merchandist or for advertising an. businerr or amuse- ment, or place of such business or amusement"
 The board voted a transfer of $3,O0O for repairs to the iron work of the Washington Avenue bridge, as requested by the Board of Works, Alderman Burton Walker criticized the board of works and the street department for inefficiency, charg- ing that an earlier transfer of $6, 700 had been secured though the department and the works board did not know the extent of the necessary repairs. MT. Walker said he would vote for the transfer only because closing of the bridge has caused great inconvenience.
 The board voted to accept an offer of $20O by Michael Jacobson for city lots on Simsbury street provided he pay sewer assessments recently levied.
 The offer of $50 by Joseph Hench for a lot on Matthews street was accepted.
 The committee studying revision of the city ordinances reported that an appropriation for the purpose should be provided in the budget for next year.

BOROUGH JUDGE
 URGING SUPPORT
Wants Probation, Juvenile
 Courts of State Expanded

Support for the development of probation and juvenile courts, spon- sored by the National Probation association, is asked in letter by Judge Thomas Neary of the Nau- gatuck borough court addressed to residents of Naugatuck. The let ter has the support fo other bor- ough court officials.
 The letter follows:
 Sitting as I do and seeing youth ful transgressors come before me from homes where they have never had 8 real chance, I appreciate greatly the importance of good pro- bation work.
 "The courts of our state, which have well-manned probation serv- ice, are able to deal intelligently with delinquent children, youth in the stage of adolescence, domestic relations problems and major crim- inal offenses that effect the indi- vidual and society. Many of them are saved from blighted, prison stained lives. They are given a needed chance to make good. In dollars and cents and in human values this work has more than justified itself.
 "The National Probation asso- citation is working to develop in every community well organized juvenile courts and probation de- partments, which will not only re- build tens of thousands of indivi- dual young lives but save the city, state and the nation every tax payer in fact - the enormous ex- pense of maintaining an ever-in. creasing criminal population.
 "The association has given ac- tive assistance in developing pro- bation in Connecticut. This con- tinued assistance is needed here and should be extended to other cites in this and other states. Every dollar spent now in this preventive work will save money in the inn mediate present as well as in the dangerous future.
 T hope you can send a gener- ous contribution for this important work. Kindly make check payabei to the National Probation associa- ton and send to me-"

.DR. WESTRICK IS
 GOING BACK HOME
German Agents Who Cre= ated Stir in N. Y. Sail=
 ing for Germany

Los Angeles, Aug. 20.-UP)-Dr. Gerhardt A. Westrick, trade coun- selor to the German Embassy, was en route to San Francisco today aboard the Japanese liner Nitta Maru, and it was reported that he was going home, via Japan and Si- beria.
 He refused to discuss his presence on the Nitta Maru or his deStina- tion. All he would say was that he was going to San Francisco" It was learned, however, that he had booked passage to Yokohama, Japan, and probably would not dis embark at San Francisco, the liners next port of call. He reportedly planned to go from Japan to Russia thence to Germany. Dr. Westrick obviously was annoyed by questions.
 Accompanied by his wife, his sons, Fred and Nicoloss, and Baroness Irmgard Won Wagenheim, his secre- tary, he came here secretly from New York by train, it was said. Shortly before the liner sailed yes- terday he locked himself in his cabin and refused to open the door.
 Dr. Westrick had gained consid- erable publicity in New York when he was charged by newspaper as a super-propagandist, promoting Ger man-American trade relations. Many prominent businessmen were enter tained at his Scarsdale, N. Y, man. sion. One of them, Capt. Torkild Rieber, chairman of the board of the Texas corporation, resigned be- cause of publicity detrimental" to the company.
 Until his appointment by the Nazi government as counselor to the em- basSy, Dr. Westrick was legal rep resentative for many American firms in Germany.
