 Cometh the dawn; indications are that the Negro leaders of tn. two major political parties in Con necticut are lowering political bar riers and are organizing for the common good.

 Many veterans as we'll as civil. ians of Connecticut who would like to go into business for themselves but are hampered by faulty and discriminatory zoning laws may find their wishes soon possible. Gov. Baldwin has recommended a survey for revision of these faulty laws. Interested parties should contact their civic repre- sentatives to support this survey to see that fairer zoning laws are passed.

 Through Hartford's budget is strained, it is encouraging to see efforts being made to keep some of the day care centers here. It is only in planting the seeds of good citizenship and conduct in early childhood that we may ex- pect the best supporters of democ- racy.
 The cyclotron, a machine which has brought about much informa- tion for the makings of the atomic bomb, has now been surpassed by a machine called the synchroton. It is we'll to realize that more hor- rible weapons may be expected. However, if we better the rela- tions and understandings between ourselves, we may look forward to easier and better living conditions as science goes ahead in it's con- quest of nature.

 The confirmation of Judge Will liam Hastie, former dean of How ard University Law School, as Governor of the Virgin Islands is as victory in race re- lations. However, the success of his appointment lies not alone in his achievements but in the Sen ate's recognition that Negro abll- ity is no more limited than that of any other race.

 As Congress debates on loan to Britain and while Americas bread supply has been shortened to aid starving Europe, no sug- gestions seemed to have been pro- duced by Congress to limit the possibilities of famine and strife in India and Indonesia which are being increased by Britain's dis regard of the common man and in it's attempts to suppress these rights to independence.

THE PROVERBIAL CHAIRMAN By George W. Goodman Director, North End Community

 'Waste not your time in idle ness and indolence, and occupy yourselves with that which will profit yourselves and others be- side yourself"
 Those are words of great wis dom that were uttered long years ago by a Holy Prophet. And yet they are as potent in their reality today as they ever were.
 Strangely enough though, there are thousands and thousands of men and women in the world to whom that wisdom is like so much chaff before the wind. Interesting 1y enough that wind, is usually propelled by them personally and goes under the heading of hot air. Such people unfortunately are real ly suffering from an inferiority complex, which means they have absolutely no faith in their own ability and therefore resent every one else who does not seem to suffer from the same disease.
 All you have to do to get these evil creatures into action, is to have an idea or project that they do not believe in personally; or one that they never in this world would have had enough sense and Judgement to create themselves. From that point in their ability to be purely objective goes flying out of the window. They not only do not like the project but they begin to dislike you personally. They hope and work with all of their might to see that you and the project come to grief.
 Of course people of wisdom in any community gradually learn to know these knockers and there fore give very little attention to their opinions. So these malicious individuals build up other tech niques to convince. They scout | around the community spreading | fabrications, not in their own name but supposedly as the opinion of l others.
 That is exactly what some evil individuals are trying their best | to do with the new venture that | is known as the HARTFORD | CHRONICLE. They do not like the idea of some individuals de- ciding that they want to invest their own money as they person. ally see fit. Of course they could not have possibly prevented these people from making up their own minds, but now that you have, they can devote themselves to try ing to convince people that the project is hopeless. So they speak disparagingly of every effort that is made to put the CHRONICLE over and even drag in extraneous reasons for it's existence. Like one or two weakminded persons who want to dub it a political organ.
 I am personally ashamed of the fact that we have people like that within our group, who seem to live and thrive only on their desire to discourage the initiative of others.
 I am not mindful of the fact that every man is entitled to his opinion. That right comes under the heading of liberty. But there is also a thing called license that is frequently confused with liberty. This thing called a license can easily oe an excess or abuse of liberty.
 As a group we certainly cannot afford to be loose and free with this dangerous confusion of liberty and license. We cannot afford to

the first time what she always felt
afterward whenever she entered
the great old house-the .ense of
splendid and forever vanished
past standing just behind her
shoulder.
Henrys wife was a handsome old
lady who was fond OF poetry and
travel. Sawn was the only grand
child OF their two daughters, only
Sawn's mother had had child. She
had married a brilliant young en-
gineer upon whose vitality and
grasp Of life she had come to de-
pend utterly by the time he died in
a railroad accident. She had killed
herself a year later. when Sawn
was six. She was spoken Of often
by the old people, but in such
euphemistic way that only through
| Sawn himself had Victoria learned
that his mother had taken her own
life. Victoria got the feel Of a dead
woman in whom the old strength
! had run so thin that one disaster
had been too much. Great quiet
rooms and Henry's ship models and
finishing school had not prepared
I her for what life had finally given.
SO her room, remodeled, had be-
come Sawn's. Around the mirror
where her cotillion favors had
hung, his triangular felt pennants

the nineteen-thirties, the calm self

sat at dinner parties made up Of
old friends and distant relations,
and nothing Of the present ever en-
tered there. For all Of them II was

turning pages Of a snapshot album
filled with views and faces distant
in time. Once. when Victoria intro
duced the subject of strike which
was filling the newspapers, there
was a profound silence. Then Aunt
Jessie spoke Of them all when she
said, reasonably and gently, These
people don't know what real trag-
edy Is. The limited scope Of their
lives makes them regard such mat
tiers as hours and wages as impor-
tant." The butler poured the wine,
the heads nodded and the light
from the candles was reflected In
the hanging tears Of the chandelier
above the long table with its dam
ask cloth.
Sawn, however. was of another
generation. In college he learned
enough to see for the first time the
tragic contrasts Of the system OF
which his family was one product
and the striking miners another
He went through period Of ruth

people much suffering, and was
