was honorably discharged from the navy in 1919.
 Re-enlistS in 1921
 After sixteen months of civilian life, the lore of the sea and navy life, strongly beckoned him on, and he reenlisted in 1921 to make the navy his career and according to MT. Miranda, 1t was @ wise decision and he never regrets the years put in the service.
 MT. Miranda has served on prac- tically all types of ships in the navy, but mostly on destroyeTs and cruis- CTS. On reenlisting in 1921, he was ordered aboard the U. s. s. Beau. fort, supply ship and transport, supplying outposts of the navy throughout the West Indies, includ- ing ports in the countries of Cuba, Haiti, San Domingo, Puerto Rico and the Territory of St. Thomas. He served on board this ship until honorably discharged in 1928.
 He reenliSted In 1925 and re- quested duty in the As1atic Station which was granted, arriving at Manila, P. T., in September 1925. While in this duty he was attached to the U. s. s. Noa (343), c de. stroyer attached to the Asi&tic squadron. He served on board this ship until 1929 and saw many inter. esting sights as China was then experiencing @ civil war.
 While on this duty, MT. Miranda visited 0 great many ports in the Orient. which include the countries of China, Japan, Guam, the Philip. pine Islands, Straits Settlements, French Indo-C China, British 1ndo- China, Dutch rdo-Chlna and Java.
 On his return to the United States in 1929, he reenlisted and was order. ed aboard the U. s. s. Cincinnati, 6 light cruiser, on which he travel cd up and down the east and west coast of the United States, until discharged in 1883, in Long Beach, Cal.
 He reenliSted in 1883 and was or dered by the Bureau of Navigation for fitting out and on board on commissioning of the U. s. 6. New Orleans, 6 heavy cruiser. While awaiting the commissioning of the U. s. s. New orleans, the Cuban instruction broke out and he was immediately transferred on board 0 destroyer and rushed to Cuban waters to await any emergency that might arise. He stayed in Cuban waters until January, when he was ordered back to the U. 8. s. New Orleans.
 Shake Down Cruise
 He was aboard on the commls. sloning of the U. 8. s. New Orleans and made the shake down cruise to Europe on her, visiting the coun. tries of Sweden, Denmark, Holland and England. He was attached to this ship from 1883 until recently, when ordered to his present duty.
 According to MT. Miranda, the wisest decision that he ever made was when he reenlisted in 1921 and decided to make the navy his career. He has had an interesting and col. orful life in the service and enjoy- ed all the years that he has served He states that the young man of today who can meet the require rnents, and who is willing to work and study, should consider the U. s. navy as Q career.

 Trailer Camps are providing one at least tenn porary answer to the problem. have seen several of them in this section of the country.
 At one near Hartford, Q woman whose husband is construction engineer told me that, in moving about various defense-industry centers with their small daughter she usually had been unable to find house or an apartment to live in, even at prices they couldn't afford.
 So they had bought trailer, just as had hundreds of other people. Sometimes they were obliged to park In camps where the streets were muddy mess and the sanitary facilities inadequate.

Hartford, Conn, May 24-What most of the boonn- Ing defense towns throughout this smallest but busiest Army Ordnance District want are defense contracts without the defense workers that 90 with them.
 They are already fearing that if the national ener gency ends in year two they will be left as deht- ridden ghost towns.
 That's the reason for the lag in defense housing in this section of the country Among i've New England cities found more slum clearance developments be- Ing completed than there were defense housing pros jects in any stage of construction.
 DON'T WANT MORE RESIDENTS
 In East Hartford, real boom town, the FILA con- sidered a 5o00-family development. Alarmed, the town turned thumbs down the idea. The added population would have required doubling school police and fire facilities and other services and utilities.
 The town feared that when the emergency ended 1t would be left holding the bag. Most other small cities take that same attitude
 But the housing problem must be solved. At the Hartford Chamber of Commerce, was told that not

THE HORRIBLE WAR

How sad are the days when we think of the war, Of the loved ones gone away. The mothers sons that have gone to camp, And perhaps to fight some day. We pray for peace and we hope that God will grant 1t to someway, And we will be free in this land of ours, The good old U. s. A. I wish I could help in the Red Cross work; Help that our land will be free. So let us all look to the God of Love Who will give us our liberty. When we think of the ones who have gone away That fought so bravely and true, Let us all give thinks for those noble men Who wore the Gray and the Blue

Good Evening.

LITE IS JUST BowI, or CHERRlEs2 Though the world is full of things depressing, And what's coming next keeps one guessing, We know there will be no shortage of berries And come Decoration Day we'll be beating cherries. We cringe and shudder at the thought of bitzes That level town and country to little bttses, But as summer accompanied by the hum of bees We know there will be the usual quota of garden peas We weep indeed for world sort of lost Shudder at what the debacle will cost May gave us lilacs, violets and greens, And soon our garden will give us string beans. We feel distrait at hell-bent world bosses, Wonder about the inSurmountable losses. As youth marches on we say, my goshl And think of midsummer corn and squash, Headlines daily grow awful, The pattern followed is anything but lawful But come June, despite our worries, Life somehow is a bowl of cherries
