SMITH TO PRESIDE
 AT FIRST SESSION
Newly Appointed Federal Judge to Sit in Hart-
 ford, November 2I

Back from Washington, D. O., where he recently relinquished his congressional post. in order to as- sunle e, federal judgeship in Con- nectciut, J. Joseph Smith of Pros- pect yesterday visited with Judge Carroll c. Hincks in New Haven, federal jurist in that city.
 In the afternoon, Judge Smith went to Hartford, visited the federal building. and conducted a tour of inspection of his third floor suite of offices. Accompanying the former Congressman was U. S. Atty. Robert F. Butler, and his assistants VaIen- ttne J. Sacco and Joseph P. Cooney.
 Later in the day, he paid his re- spects in call on Coy. Robert A. Hurley. Judge Smith said that plans for calling Q special election to select a successor for the congress si0nal post had not been discussed at the meeting. Some expressed che view that the election would be call- ed in the near future, but other opinion voiced the belief that the elections would not be held before the first of next year.
 Judge Smith yesterday revealed that his first appearance in his new post will take place on November 2i In Hartford. On that date he will preside at a naturalization hearing. He will continue to reside in Pros pect. and plans to commute daily to Hartford.

By EDWARD JOHNSON General Manager, Metropolitan
 Opera

Written for NEA Service I New York--It is not for me Go prophecy, but I will hazard . guess that among the coming great opera singers, the CarusoS, Pattis, Frem- stadts and de ReszkeS of tomorrow, there will be many a Smith, Jones or RoblnSon--diligent young Ameri- can men and women who, today, are working hard for careers.
 War abroad has created wider opportunities for careers in the 1 musical arts here, since it is no longer possible t0 look to Beireuth, Milan, Vienna, Paris, Salzburg, Munich, and Berlin for their cus- tomary guidance and contributions. We are on our own, and that is good for us.
 Through the Metropolitan Audi tionS of the Air, we are bringing new opportunity to young talent. Already this year representatives of the Metropolitan have held prelim- mary regional additions in Kansas City, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Minnea- polls and St. Paul.
 AUDITTONING SINGERS
 FOR OPERA CAREERS
 Some 800 young singers have been auditioned, and about ten of these will be brought to New York for the Sunday additions of the air. Even those who do not come to New York will be stimulated and encouraged to pursue their work in developing their talents.
 Out of these additions come some students who may join the Met ropoltan Opera-just as Mary Van- Kirk of Ohio, Mona Paulee of Cali- fornia, and Lansing Hatfield of Vir- ginia are becoming Metropolitan Opera artists this year.
 After being cut of from Europe, We started developing our own American system of teaching, and out of this system we will find with in ourselves, on our own shores, something entirely our own. It should parallel the development of an indigenous American 1diom in composition.
 Tn times of national crisis we al- ways turn to music to bulwark our morale. For instance, there are the many concerts and entertainments for the men of our defense forces which are now being conducted by the U. 8. O., and every one these affords young artists an opportunity to test and develop their talents. In England, factories today utilize Music While You Work programs sent out by broadcast.
 Our own defense production may be furthered by music.

Election Day sidelights. Police officials estl- mated more redfire was burned Monday and Tuesday nights in rallies and parades than on any such occas- ion before Democrats imparted novel "twist' to their Victory Parade by placing the band in COnnec- tiCut Company bus instead of an open truck |. Polls of sentiment among school children were popular on Monday and Tuesday with couple of surprisingly accurate forecasts being made.

 We continued thus to wander Up and down those little hills Some great big oaks stood wonder The very thought our memory thrills. And the last but not the least Of all these wondrouS scenes Tn that splendid silyery fountain, Always shining so 1t seems. But I'll cherish in my memory Those little hills and runs, And go down there next year When springtlme once more comes Tn every kind of weather, Be 1t very hot or very cold, Most surely you will find 1t, For 1t never does grow old But 1t always is a living. Th0iSh at times a frozen mass, Jtsg just awaiting a sunbeam To wake 1t at the last. So let us say goodbye for now. To all these lovely scenes And go back there some other time.

Benjamin ID. Trevor, vice chair
man of the Monroe County De-
Tense Council, told Key West
Lions Club at their meeting
Thursday night what that organ
ization, other groups and in
dividual citizens would be ex-
pected to do in the organization
of this work in Monroe County.
Selection of committees as out
lined in instructions sent out by
the governors office will be the
first duty of the present organ
ization, stated Mr.. Trevor.
Briefly he outlined the duties
of the following committees: FL
nance and budget, power and
fuel, water system, fire, food,
communications, transportation,
information, health and housing.
President Gerald Saunders
pledged the Lions wholehearted
support in this work.
Letters from Governor Holland,
Representative Papy and Senator

Lions blind bill now before the
legislature were read by Secre-
tary Rodman Bethel.
Carleton Sawyer, lecturer of a

an interesting talk on the tobacco
industry.
He brought out the fact that as
much money is spent in this coun-

hundred million during the past
twelve months.
Mr.. Sawyer stated that this
country derives six hundred mil
lion dollars i'm taxes from tobacco,
representing 10 per cent of the
national income.
He divided the industry into
five classifications, snuff. chew
ing tobacco, pipe tobacco, cigars
and cigarettes, and explained each
in detail.
