AMERICAN MOTHER l946 IN BOSTON

Boston, Mass. Mrs. Emma Clarissa Clement, the American Mother for 1946, was the guest the past week of the Armstrong Hemingway Foundation in Bos- ton.
 Mrs. Clement gave her form ula for successful family, in the following concise terms :: Hove your children, discipline them and pray with them.
 The American Mother for 1946 is 72 years of age, though she looks at least twenty years younger. She has raised seven children, four boys and three girls who now represent edu- cators, scientists and minister.
 Mrs. Clement had the follow ing to say about discipline i: "When a child needed it, he got a spank or a slap but no ac- emulation of resentment. They were not allowed to stand on street corners with the "gang" and they had no latch keys until they were grown. We wanted to know where they were were and when they came in. But the home was big and children always welcome. A child could bring a friend home for a night or month"
 Mrs. Clement is the first wo- man of the group to be honored as American mother.

Late Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 18th a very impressive observa- tion was held at Camp Bennett in Glastonbury, Conn Members of the Hartford Rotary Club as- sembled there to mark the com pletion of the renovation of the third oldest house in Glaston- bury.

TEACHERS IN BID
 FOR PAY RAISE

Close to HOO employees of the Hartford Board of Educa- tion are preparing a statement for wage increases to be sub mitted to the Board. in order to meet the rising cost of living. This represents about a third of all those on the payroll of the city.
 It is expected that these de- mands will be presented by a committee and that the basic suggestion will be that salaries be revised upward in order to bring the salary schedules here in line with other communities whose wages exceed those of Hartford.
 The whole matter is supposed to come up at committee of the whole of the Board of Edu- cation Thursday evening at Y 80. This is to be a closed meeting.
 This problem has not gone un- noticed by the Board where there has been discussions of these discrepancies in salaries as compared with industry and business. Some of the members are of the opinion that this de ficiency has been directly re- sponsible for the loss of teachers from the system in many in- stances.
 The real problem involved in any such upward revision is the fact that it would necessitate a deficiency appropriation and there is already such a request before the Aldermanic Expendi- ture Control Committee. based on ble deficit of '$56,O00

IN ANOTHER WORLD

There are ever so many phases of our complex economic system that we little folk rarely have the accession to glimpse or really know anything about. One of these is the regulation of buying and selling on the Stock Exchange. And yet, what happens there, if 1t is wide spread enough, will have it's re- percussions on the lives of mill ions of little folk all over the nation. In fact the reactions can blow hot and cold on our lives like the winds of a ty- phoon.
 Recently the Stock Market has been acting very much like a man suffering from malaria. During this process, billions of dollars in stock values have dis appeared into thin air. The learned in this field have at tributed these things to many different sources but the fact remains that the values have been lost.
 In the midst of this hysteria though one complaint keeps coming up and is known as a MT. Eccles, Federal Reserve Board chairman. The first part of this year, this gentlemen put ban on margin trading. Which means that there is no. such thing anymore as borrowing to cover losses. All the losses suf- fered now have to be carried by the investor with their own cash. Which means that MT. Eccles is the number one un- popular individual in the nation among some people.
 But all of these doings are in another world as far as the ma jority of people who read this paper are concerned. That Is, another world as far as actual participation is concerned ,. :. though in principle, it is the same old thing: On the Stock

market, men are buying and selling commodities and equip ment, sight unseen in fact they are not interested in sec ing them, they are concerned only with values.
