Miss Marie Russ, stan member Of the National Board, Young Wouiefia Christian Association, has been in Waterbury for the pest few days consulting with members of She Board and Staff of the Waterbury Y.w.C.A. about organizatlonal prob- lens such as btidgetlng, planning, public relations and membership.

 She expressed the opinion that the Y.W.C.A. in Waterbury, ore ganized in l045, k of to a fine start and moving forward on q sound basis.
 Miss Russ is a member of the Ad- ministrative Affairs Staff of the Di- vision of Community Y.W.C.A.'s National Board. who visits commiif- ity and district associations, answer- ing calls for assistance with all types of administrative questions.
 Program planning, to be carried out in an orderly, productive fash- ion by Association membership and leadership is the foundation for strengthening the work of the Young Women's Christian AsSocia- tion,' says Miss Russ.
 In addition to program planning, Miss Russ stresses the importance of the part the Y.W.C.A. plays in relation to the work of other agen- cies and other community plans for service. Administering an effective Yw.C.A. depends upon a flexible program to meet the needs of women and girls in any community and a readiness to cooperate with other agencies concerned with sirili- lar problems, she believes.
 As an expert on administrative ] affairs, she aids the statfs or local 1 Associations on membership, budget and personnel problems.

Through this pooling of national and local Y.WC.A. experience pro- gress is made together in the de- veloping of a truly democratic Christian membership Association. in which administration plays a most vital role''

homes, they hold tens of millions of share of stock, and 65 per. cent of the country's bank accounts. Furthermore they buy 30 to 85 per- cent of all the goods sold in this country.
 Even after enjoying the privilege of voting for more than a quarter of a century, Mrs. Van Valkenburg points out that women are not known for forceful, intellectual and political leadership.
 And it is practically that reason that our nation today is founder ing to establish a stronger foreign policy, is not more confident about the way to peace.
 T have never met a woman who condones war. So let us see that we elect to Congress men who re- fleet our viewpoint. Our vote is the most valuable weapon we have to be sure our sons and grandsons won't again go to war-and our homes won't be demolished by the atomic bomb. Furthermore, the women'S vote will bear great strength in deciding whether the lady of the house will continue to shop endlessly for meat, struggle with shortages, and worry about rising high prices.
 If women will go to the polls to- morrow after a careful study of political issues, and candidates, it will be a big step forward in mak- ing better country and a better world in the months to come" Mrs. Van Valkenburg said in conclusion.
 Rule Through Candidates
 Centuries ago Socrates said, He who refuses to rule is liable to be ruled by one who is worse than himself In a democracy, the people rule through their chosen candidate. The citizen who is not sufficiently interested to vote on election day cannot complain later about inadequate laws or any cor ruption that may creep in"

tell her the truth: Sorry, my pet;
we can't foreclose on Old John for
a very simple reason: He's never
borrowed a penny from the First
Farmers.
With foreclosure out of the ques-
ton, there was only one thing for
Lolly to do: She stopped buying
from Old John, and saw to it that
every woman in town stopped also.
If the Bank couldn't make it hot
for Old John, it could make it hot
for anybody who did business with
him.
LoLLY put the bee on Old John on
a Tuesday. 1t took him until Friday
to catch on. Saturday he didn't APP
pear at all, and it seemed Lolly had
won again. That Sunday she wore
what could be described as victory
number, huge pink straw affair on
which were balanced four roses and
bird with a wing spread of thirty
inches.
That bird should have been
vulture," Seth Bigbee opined - but
softly, as behooved a man whose
farm was in his name only so long
as Lolly Lumpkin did not hear him.
Old John sat in the Amen Corner
as usual, and no one noting his
watery eyes and droopy mustache
guessed that he'd already gone to
his battle station and manned his
guns. He opened fire next day. ).
On Monday morning. he in his
faded denims and Samanthy in her
straw hat came down Main Street
as usual, with fruits and vegetables.
The fruits and vegetables. though,
were not in the wagon. They were

" run JOnn higgins out ol DuSi-
ness, the whole town held its breath.
For Lolly was a determined woman,
and Old John was stubborn man.
Old John was as poor as a man
could be in 1906, and looked like
last years scarecrow. But he was
the envy of everyone in the county
for two reasons: First. he lived with
an angel. Second. he'd never been
in debt to the First Farmers Bank.
BY. an odd coincidence, both the
angel and the First Farmers Bank
were constructed of the same high
grade white marble.
The angels nose was gone. and
her heavenward pointing finger was
broken off. That why Old John had
been able to buy her. greatly re-
duced. from the Rest Ye Monu-
ment Company. They even gave him
small refund when he reported
that her right wing fell off before he
got home. What he didn't report
was his embarrassment when, at
tempting to tie it on with a rope,
he'd faced the problem of whether
to run the rope above or under the
angels slightly draped bosom. 1t was
his first contact with celestial
body, and he was mortified to dis
cover how uncelestial it was.
He told the Rest Ye people that
he was buying her to mark his grave
when he died. but he wanted to get
acquainted with her before that time.
He didn't believe in putting things
off until the last minute. He had
too many other things to do. and
he was tired old man.
That's why it seemed even more
of a miracle when Old John came to
the relief of Peck County and put
Lolly in her place. Younger minds
had worked on that problem for
years: Old John solved it almost
singlehanded.
For Lolly Lumpkin was a big
woman, and did things in big way.
Somewhat on the bosom-y side. she
possessed the energy of well-oiled
road roller. What she had ever
wanted with pompous, little Art
Lumpkin was anybody's guess, and
this guess was always the same: He
was president of the First Farmers
Bank.
ART was a two-pen executive with
nervous mortgage finger. and there
was scarcely a man in the county
who didn't owe him money. In those
days mortgages ran on and on for
years, unless the hapless victim
stepped on Lolly's toes. Then it
was amazing how quickly they fell
due.
"Once Art loans you money, Lolly
never let's you forget it, somebody
groaned.
She never let you forget. either.
that she could afford to be the best
dressed woman in town. Her dia-
mond sunburst was enough to make
a rooster crow at night; but her hats
were the real keynote to her char
acter. They were not made; they

were brewed. Immense at times,
they lay at anchor on her pompadour
surmounted by sheaves Of milliner's
wheat and satin poppies. Or they
were small turbans bearing up brave
ly under their burden of birds, bows
and butterflies. Lolly managed to
wear a different version to church
every Sunday, even if the change
was only substitution of flora for
fauna. Her arrivals at the Lumpkin
pew were always signal for craning
necks and discreet whispers. She
loved these moments.
HE war between Lolly and Old
John started with an innocent
enough incident, as do most wars.
Every morning for years she'd Sc
lected her vegetables and fruits
from Johns wagon when it stopped
in front of her house. Suddenly she
decided that for woman of her
position, he should 60 around to the
back door instead. She phrased her
request in the form of a command,
as usual. and it got Johns back up.
Sorry, Miz Lumpkin, it can't be
done. Me and Samanthy is set in
our ways. She's used to the front
road, and l reckon she wouldn't
know what to do if was to change"
That was true. Samanthy, Old
Johns horse, knew the route as we'll
as John himself. She knew where to
stop, how long to stand, which Gus
toners liked to smell and pinch the
vegetables and which ones always
complained when Old John failed to
throw in a bunch of parsley free.
Doubtless she could have carried
on the business as we'll as John if it
hadn't been for making change. She
was scrawny and slow-moving, and
her body looked as if it hung to-
gether from sheer sentiment. Actual
ly, however, she was well cared for.
In winter her launches we're warmed
by an old blanket; in summer she
was protected from the suns rays
by a battered straw hat, slipped
down over her ears and tied under
her chin.
That night. when Art came home
for dinner, Lolly had that foreclosure
look in her eye. 1t was like taking
candy from a child when he had to
