Proposes National Tour
For Liberty Bell.

To the Editor of The Star:
While Americans are patriotic. would
it not be mighty good thing for the
Government to send the Liberty Bell
throughout the country with banner
reading: Preserve the Liberty Bell" "?
The significance of this priceless relic
OF the Revolutionary War, now in In
dependence Hall, Philadelphia, would
thus be made more vivid to the younger
generation and to older ones as we'll.
1t would stir up patriotism as nothing
else would do. AS a result, there would
be an increase in the sale of War bonds
and stamps.
realize that the Government is averse
to taking any chances in having the
bell further damaged-it already con-
tains a crack sustained when tolled on
the occasion of the death of Chief
Justice John Marshall-or possibly de-
stroyed through sabotage, but 1t is owned
by the people and represents their inde-
pendence. Uncle Sans soldiers are
well able to guard it. There are count
less thousands of young people who
have never seen the bell, and likewise

Comments on immigration
Laws of Australia.
70 the Editor OF The Star:

TO the Editor OF The Star:
In a recent radio broadcast a promi-
nent Australian official, speaking from
Washington, lamented the small popu-
lation of his country, hence its inability
to defend itself against aggression.
Now the reason Australia finds itself
SO thinly populated is due in part, if not
entirely, to the attitude taken by England
and the Australian government as re-
CARDS immigration laws, the purpose Of
which have been to discourage immi-
would think that, in a country as iso-
lated as Australia, all English-speaking
immigrants of the white race would be
welcomed with open arms, but such has
not been the case; in fact, the opposite
attitude has been adopted
A few years ago, and before the war
started, several members of my family
and myself applied to the Australian gov
eminent for permanent residence there.
We are Americans of English descent,
having lived nearly all our lives in the
United States; and We were provided with
sufficient funds to finance ourselves in
any venture, but what was our surprise
to be told that our application for per-
manent residence had been turned down.
These United States, the most powerful
Nation In the world, was built up to its
present status by the OPEN door policy.
The ports were thrown open to everybody
who wanted to enter, no questions asked.
Immigrants f1ocked in from all parts of
the world and built up the country More
people create more work More of every
thing is needed to clothe and house the
newcomers, and this creates more work
for everybody
But what happens when country
adopts closed-door policy2 The laws of
Australia and South Africa require that
an Immigrant must show provision for
his entire future in the new country,
which excludes any possibility of immi-
grafton for the masses. Who of us who
lmmigrate can guarantee in advance our
future living expenses? We expect to
earn as we go, like the great masses do
everywhere at home
1t might be said that the United States
has adopted strict immigration laws. but
our case is different, as we are thicklv
populated, which is not the case in Aus
tralia and South Africa.

Democratic Ideals
At this period of the life of the
Boys Club of Waterbury, uppermost
in the minds of each Of us is the
tremendous impact of war and its
relation to the lives and conditions
facing us. This is the third conflict
faced during the life of the Club,
and having survived the other two,
we feel quite certain that our way
OF life will continue in the future
when the war clouds have cleared.
Groups Of boys, chiefly of foreign
parertage and OF many nations.

well for our American system OF
Democracy. They are growing up

layout each room and corner has
its particular use and after years of
cutting and changing around we
have reached a condition where only
new areas will relieve us. Our library

appreciate the generosity of the

the use OF this property. Each year
shows some new addition In the
development of the camp. An arte-
sian well was added last year as
our major move--one found absolu-

and requirements were curtailed and
put off until this past year. This re-
suited in a deficit Of $813.35-the
reason for which can easily be seen
In the comparison Of 194l repairs
of $5,024.74 and 1910 repairs of ST.

items as gym floor, swimming pool

carry on the democratic ideals of
America.
We deal primarily in boys, but
we still have many of them after
they have grown into men. To some
the question is For What2" In this
day and time 1t seems so pointless
that when they have reached their
majority there Is but one future
open to them-that of armed forces.
But, to us In America 1t Is something
thrust upon us and can only be met
in one way. We are faced with the
defense of our homeland, and we
feel justifiable pride in knowing
that our program contributes in a
large measure to providing youth
with a basic training In health,
cleanliness, sportsmanship and abil-
ity to live and play in social con-
facts. In peace or war, our job is to
promote desire on the part of the
boy to see that we in America can
provide a means for him to grow up
happily, developing desirable traits
and contacts, improving his leisure
hours and definitely keeping him
from harmful influences. If this
can be done, without a question Of
doubt, we have developed young
man who believes in America to the
extent that he Is willing to bear
arms in its defense. And many Of
our boys, chiefly Of foreign parent
age, have enlisted or been called
and are now serving our country to
help to continue the way Of life that
has been established for him by our
far-see.ng forefathers. We trust
that this ideal will prevail when this
smoking wreckage of world conflag-
ration finally lifts.
We have now passed our fifty
third year in Waterbury's history.
The purpose Of the establishment of
the Boys Club is we'll known-that
of providing a method Of interesting
a boy during his leisure time. Our
work then was with boys 1t is still
with boys, even though some have
carried through to young men.
Methods and types of interest have
changed but the basic principle of
providing the boy with activity has
not. It all hinges around enjoy
ment in his work or play. Member
ship in our organization is yolun-
tary and he joins to develop or en-
courage an interest.
Gym Chief Attraction
Youngsters have an abundance OF
physical energy and 1t Is only ma
tural that the gymnasium should be
the chief attraction. And with the
increasing interest in basketball, 1t
is only natural that this Is the chief
attraction during the winter when
the game Is at its height. 1t is a
magnet that attracts boys from the
time they are able to hold a bas-
ketball. Competition in play is de-
veloped early with squad groups
which later are developed into
leagues for the different age classes
Here boy must learn to work and
play with others because in mass
play it Is not every man for himself
but a united coordination or team
work to get the best results. These
leagues are composed of either six
or eight teams in each class group,
each team showing about ten play
ers. With M,dgets, Juniors, Inter-
mediates and Seniors each having q
league upwards of two hundred and
fifty participants take part in this
particular gymnasium activity. This
also affords an attraction to others

''Can Win" Fall Election
He Claims Party Policy
Is Discussed

Congressman-Elect Joseph
E. Talbot of Naugatuck, who
broke a 10-year Republican
hold on the fifth district in
the special election hast
month, told the Republican
;tate central committee at
Hartford last night that the
COP. "can win" the state
election this fall but must
start now = tonight" He
gave high praise to ex-
Governor Raymond E. Baldwin for
the support he gave him in the
campaign, and indicated that he
would back him for denomination
and reelection this fall.
State Chairman j. Kenneth
Bradley introduced Mr.. Tolbot as
a young leader with "a great flu
ture". Talbot's victory, said the
state chairman, shows us the way
to victory in November"
In executive session after the
open meeting, the committee dis
cussed matters of party policy. The
new treasurer, Harold Mitchell of
West Hartford, was authorized to
solicit funds in anticipation CT the
fall campaign.
Mr.. Talbot told the committee that
voters who have pulled the Demo-
cratic lever in recent years can be
brought back to the Republican
ranks. The support of new voters,
he said, should also be sought in a
determined campaign.
