Pigeon Pie-a-la- Silver City! Pigeons, Not Starlings, Create Annoyance in Railroad District of Meriden-Bird-Lovers
 Health Authorities Battle It Out

admirably when a Meriden business man interferred and released one trapload of birds. The trapper was warned to stop running his line of traps in the Silver City.
 Whereupon the Health Depart ment told the bird-loving business men that if they wouldn't feed the pigeons around the railroad station, there wouldn't be so many com plaints from property owners about them. He emphasized his remarks with a threat of prosecution for spreading garbage in the public thoroughfares.
 And that's the way things stand today. The pigeon trapper has what looks like nice flock af birds neatly lured toward his cage, when some body in the neighborhood manages to scare them away And morsels of food to attract them to their fam iliar haunts are still being provided.
 There's one recourse-make the bird lovers place the crumbs, etc., on the roofs of their own automobiles, hoods, etc. That'll cure 'em.

terests of small minority or even of one individual can cause endless difficulty and delay. Our task as mayors must be to lift the level of all proceedings and all policy above personal ambition, prejudice and party interest"
 New Pattern of Government
 This statement in turn reached distant millions throughout the world with new pattern of government It was printed on the front page of the Vatican newspaper, Osservatore Romano. It was also the basis for a proclamation by the mayor of Ran goon, Burma, who was invited as a result by the mayor of Calcutta India, to send an MIRA contingent to help solve city problems.
 In the words of a Dutch Socialist leader: Moral Re-Armament has nothing to do with politics, yet ii has everything to do with politics because it means a revolution in all politics"
 This city can lead the way in ap- plying the spirit of Moral Re-Arma- ment to her civic and industrial problems. She can export this spirit to a world market. She can become pattern city, peacemaker and a pacemaker for America.

 Complaints being made to the Health Department about the nuls- ance the pigeons were making in the vicinity of the Meriden railroad sta- tion, action was taken to abate it. A pigeon trapper was hired to get rid of the birds and he was succeeding

In New Tory. Mayor La Guardia reported: "A new deter imitation has come to the life of this city as a result of Moral Re- Armament. We must make sure that our own house is in order first"
 The results achieved in city coun- cils inspired unanimous resolution passed by the Canadian Federation of Mayors which states in part: Moral Re-Armament will bring honest claims for relief and re- duction in administration costs.

work together for the common good. With such spirit our cities will go forward with confidence to set a pattern of government for commun- ity and nation"
 National government depends on the quality of the smaller units of government-the city councils of the nation. How does the spirit of Moral Re- Armament work in these testing grounds of the quality of our citizen" ship?
 East Ham in the workers section of London is a center of extreme labor agitation. It was in this dis trict that the British labor move ment was born and there in East Ham city hall that MIRA was laun- ched over a year ago.
 Harmony In Council
 Tn this city council one councillor had not spoken to the mayor for 20 years, though they were in the same party. He was so violent and ob- structive that police had to be called in to throw him out of council meet ings, which were scenes of factional warfare, wasting time and taxpayers money. The unemployed used to chain themselves to the gallery rails in protest against the councils &C., tions.
 Yet this council has become a pattern of sane government for the nation and news of it has gone thru the world. Over third of the coun- cillors now gather before the meet ings to plan the application of Moral Re-Armament to city problems. The difficult councillor is so changed and cooperative that he is known as the councillor with the changed face" The police costs, which had risen thru riots, now remain steady at a normal level.
