-Wa"N"

We're in business be- cause Waterbury h a s shown in the past that it approves of the way we carry on.
 So we "carry on" like showmen: ringing up the curtain on new merchandise, adding new services to our program, putting on special events that literally bring down the house. And we know that we're playing to the most critical "house" in the world our old friends here in Water bury. We know Water bury we'll enough to tell when our current pro- duction is going over; and Waterbury knows us we'll enough to tell us when it isn't! That's one of the things we like about being in business in Waterbury.

Leonard Frebes
Retires After
Yrs.

Leonard Frebes, commonly known
as dean Of Down River officials, and
who has held the office of village
clerk since 1916 will retire from
that office come April J.. 1sl5, &C
cording to a recent announcement
made by himself after failing to file
as a candidate for re-elsction to
that office in the coming primary
election.
"A desire to devote my time to
other things" was Frebes only COM
ment as to the reason for his re-
tirement.
1t was in 1904 that Mr.. FFebes
began his public career, at which
time he was elected to a four year
term of Monguagon Township JUS
tice of the peace.
In 1914 he was elected Mongus-
gon Township clerk, which office he
held until 1888. He was elected TO
the village treasurer's office for 1914
and IS. In 1915 he was elected vii
lage clerk, the position he still
holds.
During his public career, Frebes
has witnessed many changes, al
though they came so gradual, that
1t seemed as if no change in effect,
was really taking place
Most interesting Is the villages
growth and present form of gov
eminent compared to that when he
first started his Official career At
that time, law and authority was q
one man proposition, vested In the
village marshall; with 4 volunteer
crew for the fire department, which
had to operate a single push cart
and hose which someone grabbed
from its housing on Maple Street
while others eongregated to rush
it to the scene of the fire.
1t was those days, Frebes recalls,
that the fire siren was heard from
the bottom OF the hill, unpaVed
streets, single street ear running
through the small village, and Gus
pldors in the town hall.
During his tenure of village clerk
he saw no less than ii village presi-
dents, among them were Lyman
Llley, George Amiot. Sam Hender-
son, Joseph Anderson, Hjalmar
Bloomshield, the two McFaddon's,
father and son, william and Ed
ward, Fred Affalter, the late VIII
liam r. Teifer, Charles G. william
son, and the present president DR..
Gordon l.. StFohm.
When Frebes first took office in
1915, Ffentons tax lAll figured
around $4,000. The last levy tetaled
1901. O25.s0.
During his long term as clerk, the
days that Mr.. Frebes has been abb
sent from his duties could be
counted on one hand. Trenton Of
ficially is losing a good and faithful
servant.

To refuse to seeTn others that

their parents and demanded that
they support Mr.. Mac Farlane.
They have threatened to get certain
leaders who have the timerity to
oppose Mac Farlane. If they are as
angelic as is alleged, these manifes-
tations would not occur. Certainly
they would not be parading the
streets threatening law-abiding cit
liens with violence.
1t is silly to argue that removal of
Frederic C. Mac Farlane from the
principalship of Dunbar High
School, is reflection upon all Ne
gro schools in the country. In the
first place Mr.. Mac Farlane him
self is not a product of a Negro
school-the only time he has ever
been in one was as teacher or prin-
cipal. Most of the members of the
Citizens Committee with formal
training have had direct experience
in Negro schools and are proud of
their cultural background in them.
These schools however, did not ma
jor in RACISM nor did they counte-
nance laxity in discipline and sec
ond rate scholarship. Indeed many
white students attended and grad
uated. Howard University h a S
had to limit its quota of white stu
dents to reserve adequate space for
Negro students. The day is long

However, at that the suggestion is
not a bad one. She couldn't do any
worse than the present occupant
has done. Conceivably she might do
better. She is his peer, scholastically
and in respect to human relation
ships, superior.
The only defense offered by Mr..
Richardson is the "a" rating of
Dunbar. Yet that rating is pred
icated upon teacher qualification,
facilities, curricula and school or
ganization. 1t has nothing to do with
Mr.. Mac Farlane. 1t does not en-
brace the question of adequate
preparation of students. 1t does not
cover the practice of upgrading
without merit nor of student dis
cipline. It assumes that the work is
done properly because the teachers
are qualified, classes and curricula
are organized and building facili-
ties are adequate Dunbar is class
"a" but credit does not go to its
PRINCIPAL. Dunbar will be class
CA when he is gone.
If Mr.. Mac Farlane has the un-
equivocal support Of his staff, he
must have secured it LATELY. In
eleven years, he has discounted
them and subjected them to humil-
iation. He has told everybody about
their disloyalty. They may trust
him but he does not trust them and
must now whisper in his office lest
some Judas betray him. (No teach
er told me that He knows that
they are not free to associate with
their friends, to attend the church
Of their choice nor to belong to a
community group which he sus-
poets of hostility 1t is to emanci-
pate them and recover their indie

said about that the better. That

exceptions, are intolerant is public
knowledge They have even gone to
class rooms and challenged the

Negro worker must sell his labor
only to Negroes? He would starve
to death.
Previous arrows shot at the
Chairman of the Citizens Commit
tee have been ignored as the mirror
of an ungallant character. It is dis
maying to find Mr.. Richardson in
dulging in this unchivalarous art.
Now if the author had been other
than the one whose signature is at
tached, it would not be surprising.
For it has long been Mr.. Mac Far
lanes habit to discredit or destroy,
if possible those whom he could not
control. He has even led children to
active hatred of people who never
did them a single wrong. But, as
suming that Mr.. Richardson really
wrote, his attack on Marian Smith
Williams marks him as utterly lack
ing in chivalry.
Why all these attempts to under
mine the strength of Marian Smith
Williams leadership. Why was it
necessary to perform the ghouish
act of desecrating the dead to forti-
fy a hopeless cause? Why was it
necessary to invade the sanctity Of
the family to justify puerile ar
gument. For whoever did it, did it
as a destroying angel who feared
the clarity Of her mind, the courage
of her compassionate heart and the
brilliance Of her pen and tongue.
Only fear could have produced such
vehemence. For Marion Smith
Williams can match the best that
Mr.. Mac Farlane or his cohorts can
offer. Indeed she has surpassed
them as she has not had to employ
indecency to secure public support.
It is absurd to insinuate that self
interest alone motivated Marian S.
Williams. It is social concern
which is hard for many ego centric
people to grasp. In Dayton, it is
imprudent to assume risk unless one
works for profit Thus the prepos-
ferrous rumor that she is seeking the
principalship Of Dunbar. Yet she is
neither a candidate nor an appli-
cant, which she made quite clear to
the Superintendent some time ago.

pitched in to help neighbor. SO
must we pitch in for our country:
To help make hundreds OF
battlefield and home-front es-

needed than are on hand. City
folks are trying to make up tne
deficit Of over 1,2O0, ,0OO, ,OOO
pounds. But their fats aren't
enough. a..
Women in small cities, towns
and rural districts must also save
every drop of fat. Not Just blg
amounts. But scraps on plates,
