Still Democratic

Come fair weather or foul, regular or
special election, Waterbury continues
to remain Democratic. Only once in
recent years has it displayed any serious
defection-that the year Dr. Wilbur l..
Cross was defeated for the governorship
through the third candidacy of Mayor
Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport But year in
and year out for as far back as many
voters can remember the city has been
faithful to the Democratic Party and it's
candidates, whether they were local, state
or national
Such a record is really phenomenal
when you come to consider it. There are
few cities the size of Waterbury which
can say the same Perhaps they wouldn't
want to have displayed such answering
loyalty to one political party but for her
own part the city apparently has little or
no regret. Certainly it will not complain
that is was the only community in the
Fifth Congressional District to offer the
Democratic candidate in Tuesdays special
successful opponent, Congressman Elect
Joseph Talbot.
A lot of reasons have been ascribed for
Waterbury's consistently De m oc ra tic
trend. Probably the one to which the
most attention should be paid is the
existence of strong party organization.
BY strong we mean that it is we'll versed
in the art of getting out the vote; is
familiar with the voting districts OF the
city; knows what means are the best ways
to get the voters to the polls when it is
necessary. This was even apparent Tues
day in the extremely light voting, which
would have been far less than that record
ed had it not been for the efforts of
loyal party workers necessarily urging
men and women in their districts to vote.
In this they perform real civic respon-
sibility and deserve every bit of praise
for it.

Selected Poem
WINTERTIME IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

GBy Herbert Durrcll Smart in the Boston PosD
In old New Hampshires clustered hills
The driftcd SHOWS lie deep;
And In grandma's posy bed
The flowers are asleep
No more the wildwood may roam,
Nor hear the Whip-poor will call
Only winds signing In the pines
When evening shadows fall.
Like diamonds glistens the cruStcd snow
And the air Is thick with frost;
With snow the trails covered DER
And In the distance lost
Gusty winds whistle round the farmhouse caves,
And creaking is the gate;
Above the chimney wood-smoke curs
And Is TO dssipate.
Now natures magic carpet Is spread
Ger the silent hills all about.
And In the moonlight the lonesome pines
In silhouette stand out
Coasting and skating and skiing, too.
In Wintertime Is great;
But glorious at anytime
is our native Granite tSate.

ICE CREAM MAKERS
Boston POST

(Boston Post)
Men and women who know lot
about popular American institu-
ton are attending the 32nd annual
convention OF the New England Ice
Cream Association here. They've
gone long way since the days of
their first convention, when a cere-
monial rite In many a New England
home called for rock salt. ice, plenty
OF elbow grease, and mothers own
formula to produce a weekly miracle
called Ice cream.
Modern methods make that rite a
thing OF the past In most homes to-
day. Yet because America Is Amer
lea we consume many tons annually.

When the America First cham
pion wrote TO Lt.-Gen. Hap" Ar
mold, Army air chiefs, offering
his services TO the Army, he was
very hopeful Of regaintlg the COZ
onelcy he had angrily discarded In
the heat of his isolationist cru
SADIE. He wrote this letter, in
stead of formally applying for re-
instatement OF his commission, on
the advice OF certain friends, some
OF them in the Air Corps.
They counselled Lindbergh that
he first feel out his prospects be-
fore going on record as asking
for a commission.
The reason for this advice was
that they had good reason to
believe that the Army did not
care to re-cOmmissiOn Lind
bergh In the Air Corps.
That was why no formal APP
plication was ever received from
him; also why he did not dis
cuss the matter of commits
sion In his interview with Secre-
tary Stimson. Lindbergh was
expressly cautioned not to men
ton the subject
The talk took place IN slim
sons office, where the balding
flyer, hat in hand, sat across the
desk from the veteran cabinet
member, who has grown white In
the unstintinp service Of his
country. Stiinson opene d the
conversation.
For fifteen minutes, in pre-
else. cutting words, he outlined
his concept Of Americanism.
Stimson never mentioned Lind
bergh. When he finished, the
flyer picked up the conversation
and Stimson listened without in
terruption. Lindbergh stated
that he was engaged In secret ex-
detrimental work with a COM
mercial concern, which the Army
knew about and was interested
in.
At Lindbergh's offer to con-
t;nue in that capacity, or any

On the other hand there is another
theory which has for its basis the recent
efforts of various groups of city employees
to secure pay raise in the current city
budget Without proof positive some OBJ
servers have been claimed that groups
like the teachers, firemen, police, etc. abb
solutely refused to support the candidate
of the Democratic candidate for Congress,
because Of his position as President of the
Board of Aldermen, member of the FL
nance Board, and his close utilization
with Mayor Scully's administration. If SO,
then all we can say is they achieved one
OBJECTIVE, but whether they came any
closer to another is doubtful.

Jesus Himself. II at any time we
are overwhelmed with disappoint-
ment, we need only remember that
the Son OF man was frequently
overwhelmed in like fashion. When
we recollect this, 1t makes 1t easier
for us TO understand how disap-
pointment Is of the essence OF all
human life.
But God used the disappointments
Of His Son for the salvation Of
mems souls. Our Lords disappoint-
ments led Him To the cross, but the
cross led humanity to salvation.
Turned aside In what we want to
do. we are often led into what
God wants us TO do, and then
when we look back upon 1t In later
years. we see that 1t was better SO.
Someone has said that we need
TO spell the word disappointment
with an III" instead OF with ID.
1t then spells disappointment. The
destroying OF our plans very often
opens the way for the carrying
out of the divine plans.

about it.
''Where do you think MIR.
Lindbergh would he the most
useful?" asked Stimson.
Lovett and McCloy promptly
voiced the opinion that the fly
err should continue his civilian
work. Both said firmly they were
sure this would be most suit

That ended the interview
and Lindbcrgh's hoped for re-

that Mayor Scully has tried to be fair to
all concerned in this respect, but we also

West opened the deuce of clubs,
East played the ten and South won
with the king. Despite the lack of
entries to the South hand, declarer
knew the enemy could not shut him
out of his hand without giving
dummy enough tricks. The real
trouble was that he could count
only eight tricks-fve diamonds,
two clubs and heart. Where was
the ninth trick?
All of this had flashed through
his mind before he played the first
card from the dummy. So imme-
diately after winning the first trick
he led the three Of hearts. If West
were foolish enough to play low the
ninth trick could be won by finesse
of the nine.
But West put up the queen of
hearts and dummy had to win with
the ace. East in the meantime
signaled with the three of spades
South could now safely play for
down one by returning the nine of
diamonds. Instead he risked a three
trick set by returning low heart.
West looked at the jack of hearts
with deep-dyed suspicion. To take
the trick would set up three more
heart tricks for the dummy; to re-
fuse the trick would shut the rest
Of the suit out, for East had COM
pleted a spade signal by playing
the spade deuce-thus showing
command of the suit. So West re-
fused the trick and South could
begin his diamonds with the ninth
trick safely stolen!
