The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-06-21

laying tramc,
and perhaps some day you will
read their findings.
The youth Of Connecticut are
now employed making traffic sur.
veys. They spread out o string Of
yellow signs and red flags and
then halt folks just when they
are busiest, going 10 or from reg
ular business. The youngsters
want 10 know where you've been
and where you're going. They
would appreciate your cooperation
In the discovery Of the route you
take from here 10 where you hope
10 eventually be. And It's oil done
80 that highway funds can be
spent more intelIlgently :.
Well, we've wanted TO see more
brains used In spending for some
time. We have wondered about
that guy who paints the signs for
brooks about the state, and the
fellow who closes S0uthville
Bridge without letting IN know
anything about II until we're
halfway 10 Brookiield that way.
(The brook sign on the Seymour
road reads Eight Mile Brook
49,. Meaning Eight Mile Brook"
we suppose.)
Probably oil this excitement
about finding out more regarding
the flow Of traffic started when
our experts were studying the
evacuation Of Paris. Probably
Yale will start q traffic course
and graduate some Of her stu
dents with the rating OF Doctor
OF Traffic" Folks have been
wised-up on the "Ph.Ds" 80 the
colleges have TO use different let
tiers now or they cannot sell O
POSTCARD course 10 anyone.
Youth has to be served, but II
would serve some Of them right II
they were taught TO serve guns
rather than hold UP motor traf-
fic. America has INDUCED In far
too much socio-economic PLAN
ming and not enough real work.
New Horizons, the Walton Es-
tate on Paradise side, Ia open for
the year. The Waltons have leas-
ed their New Canaan home for
the summer and will live In
South Britain until October.
The maddest man In town Is our
barber. Tony had to attend TO
the shop on Circus Day. while
everybody else attended the show
The loneliest collie In town Is
Jim Fieming's dog. None Of ~
know his name but everyone calls
him Rover. whenever a car
stops anywhere near McCarthy's
store, Rover bOunces right up 10
rec II Jim has arrived back from
hospital yet Rover IA handy on
woodchucks and unafraid Of any
thing on four legs. Ills assOcia-
ton with Jim FLEMING taught
him honesty, integrity, and gem
uine friendiiness. You can usual
~ tell by mans dog what sort
OF person nc N. Jim's dog does
his master proud.
Lyman Green Is blowing the lot
below The Wood Of the Burlap
Bags, seemingly unafraid Of gyp-
sy moths or anything else, You
can always tell when Lyme Is
working hts team because he yells
so loud at those horses that all
the crows fly over from his farm
to this side OF the hill.
"Red-E-Nix" concrete Il arriv-
ing In town from Bethel, trans
ported by . fleet Of Fairfield
County trucks. Sand, stone, grav-
eli, and cement from Fairfield
County has the call ON the new
state Job up the valley. All the
local observers are watching TO
see where the cattle for the new
state farm win come from, and
what they will cost the taxpayer.
Haying Is away 10 q slow start
here beside the Pomperaug. The
crop Is good and barns are empty.
Help u not 80 plentiful - Usual
and there's some talk OF organ
izlne a Clio. Haytossers' local
10 boost wages and rcdlstributc
wealth.
