wasting his time listening over and over to the same dreary bleat- ings from successive flocks of stu dents, when he ought to be out in the world, battling for civic right eousness? That's what his wife Peony kept asking, and, reflected the Dean, she was dead right. THE Planishes' rented house was | the first of the charming small white houses, cheerful and clean and realistic, with wide clap boards and built-in garage and automatic oil heat, that had been erected in Kinnikinick.
 The weary Dean came up to it, admiring the small sleek lawn - moved by Peony before break fast; inspired by the crazy pattern of the walk the stones had been picked out by Peony; impressed by the white painted solid oak door -Peony had repainted 1t after the workmen had made 8 botch. He edged the door open and remarked, "Oo-hoo!"
 His Wife answered, 'OO-nOo!
 "How's the baby?'
 "Oh, she's just dandy -- shes swell-shes just slick she's so cute. Want to see her? But first
 Peony led him by hand through the small living room. She stopped in front of their major treasure, the Chinese Chippendale cabinet, splendor of gold and scarlet and carved mandarins, which they had bought in Chicago on their honey moon, and which had cost approXl- mately 10 times what they could at- ford. AS always, she breathed, "lsn it slick It's the swellest cabinet. ] ever saw!" and as always, ne agreed Certainly is; it lights up the room like house atire."
 She led him on into their bed room, with it's wallpaper Of silver sailboats on a green sea, and lt' twin beds, of which one was more hollowed than the other. She lee him to the farthest corner, a! though it were a secret niche, anc kissed him convulsively. There was in their young and parochia love something dark and hldder and fierce, dissolving him to water
 She led him to the second bed room. It had been planned as guest-room - here, Father anc Mother Jackson would often bt staying. But Father and Mother Jackson had, after a surprisingly short period, been compelled tC stay at the Kinnikinick Inn, fol this had become the place sacred to the baby.
 At the age of 3, Carrie PlaniSf was cheerful and active, genuine grocers' calendar baby.
 Carrie was likely to be darker than either of her parents, ant more slender.
 She rose from her business in terests - nine leaden soldiers, decayed doll, and water-colol portrait of the family cat - sht sprinted across the floor ant yelled, "Daddy!'
 That's a darn smart baby, Car rie is," the Dean said, as they re turned to the living room. "Shel be dean of women, some day
 She will like hell! She'll be contented wife and mother. Lik me"
 Whats the plans for supper You didn't tell me to bring any thing home"
 Nope. It's the hired girls nigh out, and were going batting. IV' got Mrs. Hip coming, to take car of baby. We's going to drive down t' Mabel Grove and eat at the Apple ton House"
 That's swell - fine and dandy, said the purist.
 Their car was a powerful ney Maxwell, with a maximum spec of not much less than 48 miles a hour. The Dean was behind ol his payments on the car but onl a month or two.

Political Bandit Ganqs
Keep YugosIav-G
Frontier in Turmoil

! BY the Associated Press. 4.
FLORINA, Greece, Aug. 18 Dev
layed) "A strange sort of war is in
progress against political bandit
gangs in the mountains of West
ern Greece and Macedonia, while
the rest of the world celebrates
peace. !
! Although traditionally friendly,
Greece and Yugoslavia have turned
their common border in the wild
and stoney Macedonia hills into
an armed barricade. The frontier
area is taut with fear and Fremont
ton of approaching trouble.
| Many Greeks think frankly that
Marshall Tito's Yugoslav Army is
preparing to attack. The Yuogoslav
press is conducting an anti-Greek
campaign, Troop concentrations
are evident along the frontier.
Some estimates say 500 bands,
operating in groups of 10 to so, are
rowing Western Macedonia. They
are difficult to catch because they
simply hide their rifles and tommy
guns and blend into the civilian
population of villages.
| Many Are Bandits.
| Some bands are truely bandits
who are returning to an old anc
profitable business. Some few are
extreme Rightists, who still are
| seeking revenge against the Left
But the greatest number appear
| to be the residue of the Elias, who
took to the hills rather than sur
render when the Leftists lost the
civil war last year.
A British soldier was killed and
two others were wounded severa.
weeks ago when vehicle was am
bushed on an isolated mountain
! road.
One British officer said the situa-
ton was almost Identical with his
experiences on the northwest
| frontier of India.
With circumstantial evidence tc
support them, the Greeks insist
that the armed bands are receiving
assistance and, in some cases, are
being instigated from Yugoslavia
In the past few months, the frontier
| has been 10 times more heavily
armed on the Yugoslav side.
Greeks say the Yugoslav guare
is so heavy that cross border traffic
would be impossible without theil
| connivance.
Many Wear Red Stars.
The Greeks also maintain that
some bands wear red stars in their
caps like Yugoslav troops, and carry
| similar weapons.
British officers said that on several
occasions when large bands were
/ pursued closely, they retired toward
the frontier before breaking up and
disappearing.
There have been several cases OF
firing between frontier posts, always
without casualties.
One really serious incident has

Vandalism Assuming Alarming Proportions
Waterbury Authorities Confronted With
 Unusually Serious Situation; Youths Blamed

Vandalism in Waterbury is as- suming proportions which may threaten to get out of control Property damage, curtailment oi private businesses and other serious results have been noted.
 Latest activities of this nature to be noted is a rapidly spreading prac- tice of destroying daily newspapers of the city as the latter are delivered in bundle form to the news car- riers.
 Hundreds of Waterbury Democrats and Americans have been subjected to this treatment News carriers re- port daily of finding their bundles of papers for their routes broken open with the individual subscriber papers torn in shreds.
 The city already has paid out over $500 for damage done during the last two months to windows in the Mulcahy school which is now being renovated for use as a trade school. Over $1 1,000 was paid out last fall for similar damage to other public buildings The sum of $5 ,000 has been allocated for 1946 to meet such emergencies.
 Rare and expensive shrubbery in public parks and private property has been callously uprooted by youths.
 Appeals are being made to the police and juvenile authorities of the city in an effort to stop this practice. Residents are urging that some stringent prosecution be placed into effect so that perpetrators of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-11-21

these wanton acts may be fully pu-:- ished.
 One authority today expressed the opinion that current prosecution practices are not severe enough to frighten or discourage those who are conducting these Yandalistic acts. Expensive lawsuits against parents of the youths have been urged as a means of discouraging the prac- tice.
 The greater share of the vandal- ism is apparently being conducted by youths who travel in small groups. Few eases of individual practices of this nature have been found.
 The youths found committing these acts have proven to be of all ages, ranging from a few in their early twenties to youngsters of g and g years. In some instances girls have been found as members of these groups.
 The actual act of vandalism as practiced locally seems to have no purpose other than one of wanton destruction for the sake of destruc- ton. Park authorities have dis closed that rare and expensive shrubbery has been pulled out of the ground with others being de- liberately trampled upon. Public buildings such as schools, etc., and private property have been severely damaged without any other motive than the desire to destroy, deface or damage.
