THE MILFORD SCHOLARSHIP.
(New Haven Journal-Courier.)
There is something so old fash~
toned about the gift which George
M. Gunn has made to Yale Univer-
sity in behalf of the school. boys of
the town of Milford that it calls for
comment and emphasis. The gift
is a sum of money the interest from
which is to meet the scholarship
needs of some Milford boy who
might otherwise be denied a college
.educatlon. ‘
The old-fashioned spirit to which
we refer lies in the reason Mr. Gunn
gives for making the gift. He has
searched about for a fitting way in
which to express his gratitude to
the people of his tqwn who haxe
honored him so signnll yfor so many
times during his life. especially in
recognizing him as a fit man to J‘-
rcct the affairs of the local board of
education all those years, Years ago
a common piece of news was the
gift from a former resident of a.
Connecticut town who desired in
memorialize his happy boyhood
days in a manner to benefit its pop-
ulation. He had found his sutuess in
life elsewhere but the old-fashioned
notion of it was that its foundation
was laid at home in the town school
and the first church. which of itself
constituted an obligation. Should
one find oneself interested in the
subject one would be surprised to
discover to what an extent this gen-
tie emotion has enriched, town life
in the smaller communities. '
Mr. Gunn has retained the love of
his town throughout a life which
has given the state and this city
the fruits of his citzcnship and in-
terest in public affairs

PHILADELPHIA. July 25.—
The sweet singing of a senti-

penitentiary convict and broad-
casted from. I. local radio sta-.
tion. won a parole for convict C.
1412. who had three years more
time to serve on a bandit charge,
it became known today. The
name oi. the convict Was with-
held.
Several months ago musically
inclined convicts broadcast a.
concert from the penitentiary
through station ~WIP. Hardly had
C. 1413 finished when the peni-
tentiary telephone became busy
with rewests for the identity of
the man. Many letters were re-
ceived and a lawyer who inter-
ested himself in the case through
the convict's slums. and. others
succeeded in obtaining n parole
yesterday. Governor Ritchie of
Maryland was said to have been
one of those interested in the
case.

DARIEN', July 261—There are
ways and ways of spending vaca-
tions, but William, Lewis Coon, sec-
ond son of Bridgeport's health com-
missioner. has picked out one ‘lh-t‘S
a wonderful opportunity—that is,
for somebody else, but not for every
body. Some people swing a golf
club, and call it exercise. others
swing a tennis racquet, and call it

lie is working when he doesn't
ilfl\tt to and he's doing it on the
new state road through the well-
known town of Darien.
The reporter started on an inves-
tigation. He found the road going
through Darien. Real estate was fly-
ing—most of it. through the air—-
Strum rollers were ruling. mortar
mixing. éxcavators were excavating,
tuni what not.

“WatnnnmeTg queried the engi—
neer. or driver. or chauffeur, or
whatever he was.
"William Lewis Coon, second." we
repeated.
"Nobody like that name here——
not unless maybe ya mean Bill
Coon."
Looking at it that way maybe the
driver was right, Anyhow. he fin-
ally found Bill Coon. Dressed in a
faded blue shirt; Khakkpants, and
canvas gloves, Bill was working.
Some sort of an infernal machine
was excavating the road. I‘. gobbled
up several square yards of fill.
hoisted ii on high. carried it over
to a waiting truck. and then Bill
pulled the rope. Out dropped the
load, and the huge shovel went root-
ing and grovelling along for another
mouthful.
This was only child's play, though.
A truck got. stuck. and Bill made a
flying tackle of a railroad-tic. a
mere 200 or 800 pounds, it looked.
and helped jack the tuck back on
the road. Two or thrc more mouth-
fuls for the machine, and then Bill
got into action again with a pick.
The reporter waited for a lull in
business to talk to Bill. but there
doesn’t seem to be any iulls in that
business. One truck after snot,
came along. The . shovel grove ' ‘
and swung and Bill yanked on the
rope. Every time the» shovel swung,

"It isn't Just pulling the fope."
said William Coon. '3 you see, there's
quite a lot; to it. You've got to have
a good eye. and a strong arm too.
1‘: you pull too late. you keep the
shovel Waiting, and if you pull too
soon. you spill the load, and then
the boar gives you smoke. '
"Sure, the work's all right. The-
only’ihlng I don't like is the lack
of mental effort. You don’t have to
thing about anything and your
mind goes wandering."
Coon scoffed at the idea that
there was anything unusual in the
son of a. professional man rolling up
his sleeves and swinging a pick.
"Not at all," he said, “Why young
Egan and Monahan are somewhere
on this job. Both their fathers are
doctors in Bridgeport. It's good
healthy work, and I bet in the fall
my old brain will be so! tired of do-
ing nothing that it‘ll work twice as
hard." .
Coon. who is a husky young chap.
is a graduate of Bridgeport High.
He was a candidate for guard on‘the
football team. and any coach who
sees him sling railroad ties would
qualify him for All-American with-
out hesitation. This fall he goes to
the University of Pennsylvania. "Al-
