In MemOriam

In loving memory of our darling
Joyce, who passed away two years
ago, Jan. End, 1945.
"Twixt you and US, beloved dear
Deaths hung a mystic screen,
Through which they say no human
eye
Hath ever, ever seen.
And yet we hear your loving voice
In every wind that blows;
We see your eyes in morning skies,
Your face in every rose.
And when at twilight time we walk
Within our garden fair,
We're not alone-ah, no, beloved
We know your spirits there.
We feel your kiss upon our cheek,
The pressure of your hand,
But only those who've loved as we,
These things can understand"
Sadly missed by parents and sister,

Mrs. r. z. Mumma

Mystic News

Bill Langdon reports that aside from Mystic's need of having 8 couple of atomic bombs dropping on her to start little action there abouts, that he would like to state that HIS FLYING CLOUD THAT GARAGES THE OUTSIDE OF HIS ESTABLISHMENT IS NOT FOR SALE!
 The Cottrell Company of Mystic is going right ahead tearing down the old eyesore buildings on Cot trell treet, to make way for their new, super de luxe department store! FLASH! Above the store will be constructed new. modern apartments, the latest thing in swank in Eastern. Connecticut. Per- haps their move will awaken oth- CT property holders to the fact THERE IS A REAL NEED IN OUR SECTION FOR MODERN. UP-TO- DATE APARTMENTS
 Most of the Mystic gang going by Carl Schaefer's place these days are getting quite a kick out of the notice appearing in his display windows. We are not quoting for fear of infringing on copyrights.
 Quinto, of Mystic, who was re- gently dispossessed by the raising of the buildings on Cottrell Street, purchased the building across the streets from the Robinson Tire Co. ou West Main Street. His appli- cation for the reopening of his tav- ern has run into a Snag. for the opposition has gone as far as get ting out petition to have his re- quest refused.
 Max Shapiro has gone to bat for Quinto and represented him at 8 hearing that was held at the Hear ing Room, State Office Bldg, Hart ford, Conn, on Monday, March Il, at 2 D. m. Fireworks were pre- pared by the opposition for this hearing, but we understand that our genial Representative from Stonington, Earle Lyon. was there to lend moral support to Quinto. The case is rather involved be- cause the locale of his old business was Stonington, and by moving on- to West Main Street he has set up in the Groton Township.

INJUNCTION ORDERED

A significant blow against ex- ploitation of child labor in Dixie has just been struck by the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals of Allan ta, which has jurisdiction over six southern states.

 Both companies had employed children as young as 10 and 12 years. The children's bureau of the department of labor, over pro- lcnged peried, collected detailed evidence of the infractions. Where upon, the homogeneous promised to cease and desist, but no sooner had the bureaus inspectors turned their backs than the companies went right ahead evading the law again.

The odds are in favor of a

This, to my mind, constitutes an
open incitement to perjury. Every
ward-heeler in the land, if the ma
ton accepts such counsel can now
claim immunity for all of his sins
whatever they may be, on the
grounds that those who challenge
his acts, their honesty, or their
worth, are just engaging in a politi-
cal argument.

B. Fall, who was involved in the
teapot dome oil scandal, and 9TH
ers would never have suffered
any curb on their activities"
The former cabinet member also
said he did not believe, as Presi-
dent Truman said at yesterdays S
news conference, that President
Roosevelt had intended to appoint
Pauley for the Navy Undersecre.
taryship.
'The fact is" Ickes declared,
THAT President Roosevelt did not
appoint Pauley to the Navy De.
partment.'
He had not talked with the late
President, Ickes said, about the
Improper proposal he contended
Pauley had made to him on Sept
4, 1914. At that time, Ickes saio
Pauley, then Democratic Nationa
COMMITTEE treasurer, had suggest
ed that 100000 in campaign funds
could be raised from interested OF
men if the government would moi
push its claim for title to the tide
lands area.
Certainly" the former cabinet
member said, Il would have gone
to President Roosevelt with my OBJ
jections to Mr.. Pauley if there hac
been any danger of his making the
mistake that President Truman
persists in. I do not believe thai
President Roosevelt would have ap
pointed Mr.. Pauley."
1ckes declared that 'the one
great regret he has in the present
controversy lis what I regard as
the Presidents lack of adherence
to the strict truth"
Perhaps, 1ckes suggested, the
Presidents memory lis at fault
even about the recent incidents, -
adding that II want to be as chari-
table as I can"
Alluding to Mr.. Truman's news
conference statement that Ickes
would not dare to reflect on the
Presidents integrity, the former
cabinet member said:
after all, the President of the
