Grumman of East avenue. had a narrow escape from death while crossing the New Canaan avenue bridge early yesterday morning. Blinded by the lights of an ap- proaching car. his machine crashed into the bridge railing and tore away twenty-five feet of it. before he could stop it. That he didn't catapult into the water to his death was a miracle. The Board of Estimate and Taxa- tion. following a series of accidents at. this bridge. recently appropriated the sum of $3,000 to make very ne- cessary improvements and altera- tions. Unfortunately this amount will not be available until Septem- ber 1. A fair quession is: How many ac- cidents and deaths vfill occur at. this crossing between now and Septem- ber 1? It is a fact that the bridge is un- safe. It is also old~fashioned and inadequate. Cars coming from three different directions must cross it. The lighting to its approaches is not sufficient and the guard rails have in three instances lately been proved to be anything but strong. The New Canaan avenue bridge should be condemned and sufficient money appropriated to build a new and modern span in its place. if this is not done it is freely pre- dicted that in the near future there 'will occur a catastrophe at this pélnt which will shock the city. A car loaded with six or seven people, including children. will crash .lll’ough the rail carrying its occu~ pants to instant death. (Which is cheaper a new bridge or such a catastrophe? . Ban the Bill Board 1A move in the right direction is jinn Just announced by Tristram &. ,Hyatt. local merchants. it is that In)! bill board signs carrying the jilrm's name in the loan of Wilton ,uillbe removed. 1 g’l‘his was in i-vsponsc to a request OJ the \Vilton Garden Club. which his been carrying on a persistent campaign against all bill board ad- ._"'" Mr. ~vevu.-. .. --e-.: ,‘ e..i.he elimination vertlscrs along its local highways. Tristmm informed the Club that his concern had made its de- gaion out of respect and friendship for the town of \Vllton and his per- sgnal pride in that community. There can be no fault found with every legitimate means which may be taken to stimulate trade. But bill board advertising infringes on the rights of the many for the bene- fit of a few. In driving or walking along the open road it is now occasionally possible to glimpse the landscape by cramming one's neck out of the line of vision of shaving soaps and auto- mobile tires. The far-sighted in important busi- ness enterprises are today realizing that increased trade can only be ob- tained by encouraging and not cs- tranging popular support. Many have decided to discontinue entirely bill board advertising. Others will do it in slow stages. Norwaik should follow Wilton's example and discourage the erection of all new signs-along its streets and roads and gradually work towards of all those now standing.

How long would he rcmuln uneducated? Not five minutes. “Nature would begin to teach him. through the eye. the. car. the touch. the properties of objects.

The effect of this remarkable scene on Lure. can be imagined from what transpired when she and Bob were alone, much later. But at the time she managed to maintain a merry niein: for she knew that Mary. and Dunn. too. were trying to guess what she thought of it. and she did not care to,aid them in their furtivo obser— vations with facial luctrayals. On the sleepy ride homoward she spoke but little: yet she took ad- vantage of every opportunity to smile or laugh. Secretly. she. was amused by Bob's boldness. She would never have suspcctcd that he had in him what she would have described as a streak of delightful wildness. It does not aggravate a young wife to know that her husband has something of a devil-may-care spirit. \\'h.-o she disliked most about the sccnr- was its public con- spicuousncss. She knew that after the people who saw it laughed at Bob. they.turned their eyes on the women with him: and their in- fluences would be guessed. She herself was curious as the effect of the scene on Mary. It wast nearly dawn when Mary left them at Che door of her apart- ment with giggling whispers, and Bob and Lure. ploddcd to their own rooms. Lura did not‘ feel sleepy . now. She stood and susveycd Bob as he dropped into a chair with a "whew!" He surmised ‘what was coming. “Where'd you get it?" she queried. to "Get what 1’" “Your liquor. You must have had several drinks this evening that I didn’t; know about." He grinned he couldn't help it. "Gee. I don’t know what made me do that. I just did it—that’s all." he tried to explain. "I don't think I'd try to explain it if I were you," ' ’ She threw at! her cape and sat deg: opposite him. ' ‘ wss‘sosshamed.

She was getting angry now. "Oh. well, I didn't go running out into the garden, alone with someone else's wife." He realized immediately how ut- terly foolish and tactlrss it W“ for him to have said that. Lura flamed. " ust what do you mean?“ " h. nothing." But she knew what he was re- ferring to. “You're centemptlble to make such a reference." Her words- hit him like acid. for he truly re- gretted what he had said. "Dear, I didn't mean—" he be- gan, weakly. She waved off his words. “You need not explain?" She arose and left the rooms dragging the cape after her. ' He followed. “Please. dear. what I said." She turned and faced him. “You did mean what you said. That's what you thought. You had it in your mind all evening. It may have caused you to kiss that —-that woman." These conclusions delivered. she disappeared into the bathroom. leaving him staring after her. POEMS THAT LIVE THE COUNTRY FAITH Here in the country's heart. Where the grass is green.

OPINES DANGERS' HEAD There are thos among us who re- gard the present as a period con~ fronted with unprecedented prob- lems. a period best by perils hereto- fore unequaled. There are those who express doubt of our ability to make further progress—some even who profess to forsee the destruction and disintegration of our social. political and economical structure. In the light of achievements that have been » wrought in the past by firm adher- ence to true princaples. in the light of the tremendous resources our country now controls, what justifica- tion can men have today for express- ing doubt of America's future? said \Valter J. Head, president of the American Bunkers‘ Association re- cently. “W'e have today 110,000.000 peo- ple. Our total bank deposits aggro- gnte approrimately 40 billion dollars. Outstanding life insurance amounts to more than 70 billion dollars. Our 500 million acres of im'prOVed farm linds are valued at 77 billion dollars.

"These things are our material re- sources. They constitute the basic material clement—but the real foun- dation of our progress is not mater— isl. It is that other, more valuable resource—the capacity and charact- er of our people. To that we owe the discovery and development of our 9 last the University of Maine grant- ed him his honorary degree of Dec— tor of Science. ’ After his academic training had been completed he worked for a time in an electric water power plant in Maine, then considered a position at Niagara Falls.

Despite every other influence. the strong and steady current of the Pil- grims' faith has persisted through generation after generation. “It is this invaluable resource— the capacity and character of our people-—that has made America great in the past. that will make America. greater and more powerful p the future. As long as we uphold our established standards of belief and conduct. we need have no fear for the future of America."
