titude of the men towards the wo-
men from the time. the latter entered
politics to the present time.
REGARDED WITH RESPECT.
“When women first entered poll-
tics the men, fearful of Just what
we might do In our great ardor. net-
ed very strangely." she said. "They
didn‘t know Just how to take us. so
they just stood off and watChed for a
while. But. afterwards. when they
found that wehad no intention of
working against them and every in-
tention of Hvorking with them. that
strange attitude gradually altered.
Today the men took with respect
upon the. woman in politics. and it
in up to the women to be worthy of
that respect.
"Let‘s work harder than ever this
November. Let us put every effort
into ferreting out the best men. for
the offices here in town. There are
plenty of good Republicans and. if
we find the best and back them.
there will be no need of split tickets
this fall. And last. hut not least.
let's not put a mayor into cities and
then its his hands down. as we have
done for the last two years."
Mrs. George F. Belts. who is a
member of the Board of Education
in Norwalk. was the next speaker.
"One of the biggest assets which
our city can boast of at the present
time is the young people now in the
schools." she said. "And we want
l0 do the best we can for them in
every way possible. They must have
good teachers. proper equipment.
and we want it) get the best we can
for the. money expended.
"The members of the Board of
Education are very conscientious
about the spending of your money
and our own. too. for that matter.
since we have to pay taxes, even as
you do. In September you will be
called up to vote for a fair sized ap-l
propriation of money for the schools.
We want you to back that approprih
tion with your vote and to rest as~
snreri that the money will be used
to the best advantage possible.
"in September. also, three new
members of the board must be ap-
pointed. Now is the time to look
over the field and to weigh the mer-
its of each and every candidate, so
that when the proper time comes you
will know just who is best fitted for
the position.“
M r. Dow, who was the: main:
speaker of the afternoon discusnedl
the question oi."child welfare in the
State of‘Connecticut. Four years
ago. in the General Assembly of
1921. it Department of Public Wel-
fare. was created. consisting \of five
members. These members. who are
unpaid, meet twice a month. Under
that department is the Bureau of
Child Welfare. consisting of a com-
missioner. ii deputy commissioner
and a staff of field agents.
"That legislative act. of 1921 plac-
ad Connecticut in the front row of
the. States in the care of its chii~
dren." said Mr. Dow.
“Our Legislature has also provid-
ed for the establishment of tho Ju-
\cuile Court, that most necessary of
corrective elements.
"The child who has committed a
crime. and by child I mean any
male or female under 16 years of
age, should be dealt with neither as
825
in but the. formative stage and not
accountable. Juvenile courts are
necessary because through them
the child is removed from the glare
and the glamour of the general
courtroom and his case is tried in
strict privacy,
Mr. Dow stated that {good proba-
tion officers were the backbone of
the juvenile court. for on them de-
pended the checking up and follow-
ing up of every child on probation.
'l‘he \vcli'al'c worker also discussed
the problem of boarding homes for
children and baby farms. He stated
that licenses were now absolutely
necessary for those who desire to
board children add that during the
past few years 100 plat s in the
state had been closed as being unfit
but that 200 others had been li-
censed as being everything they
should be.
“Just to show you the sort of con-
ditions we sometimes run up
against, I might cite an instance
which was discovered in this coun-
try." said Mr. Dow. “During our in-
vestigation of boarding homes we
discovered that a. w0man. who was
without questipn quite insane. was
.caring for seven children in her
house." .
The welfare worker praised the
eight county homes which the state
maintains, claiming that they were
a vast improvement over the old
time almssouse where unfortunate
children were formerly lodged.
L'uder the direction of the Child
Welfare Bureau. children are placed
from the county homes in private
homes when possible. either by
adoption or as workers. if they are
old enbugh. of course. Ten thousand
dollars has just been appropriated
for the boarding out of children
who are too old for adoption. but
too young to work and who for var-
ious reasons should be put in pri-
vate homes. _
The board hopes that in the near
future it will be possible to give
more attention to abnormal and
mentally deficient children in the
county homes. In Fail-field county,
it has been estimated that 25 per
cent of the children are normal or
of superior intelliclmt 39 per cent

HAVE RAISED HOUSE TAX AT SUMMER
COLONY FROM $25 TO $40 THIS YEAR
Extra Amount to Be Used to Meet Interest on
Bonds for New Bridge—Discuss One-way
0r Two-way Roadway
The house tax at Harbor View
this year has been raised from 8:5
to $40. This extra Slb from the so
or so cottages goes toward meeting
the interest on the bonds for the
new bridge. That the new bridge
will he a great asset to the com-
munity. everyone ugre.-s.
When the bonds were
for. the bridge could have been Luilt
at the price set. Construction prices
and labor prices have changed so
much. that it is now impossible to
get it completed for the original
sum named.
Another factor under discussion
is whether it one way or a two way
bridge can be built. A two way
bridge is much more convenient. as
it does not hold lip traffic. More-
over, it lasts longer and needs less
arranged
repairs. as the automobiles do not
all run in the same rut. Another
point. is whether steel or concrete
cylinders should be used on the axis
of the 100 foot draw which is
planned.
These changes could be made
without any further ado. All tidal
waterways are in charge of the War
Department, and must be kept op-
en. It is this that necessitates a
drawbridge. The permission given
by Washington is an elastic one.
however. and would allow of many
changes on the original bridge
planned.
The matter will come up again
before the Board of Trustees of the
Island. who will probably meet some
time‘ in July. At all events. there
will be nothing done while the sum-
mer residents remain. as it is not
wished to inconvenience them. Any
work commenced will start in the

HICKORY BLUFF
ROBERT L. CORBY
BUYS A HORSE
FOR DAUGHTER
Wild Yarn Told of
Time When Bull Was
Moved From Shef-
field Island
Robert I.. Corby. of Sheffield
Island. has purchased a. three-) ear~
old horse for his daughter. which
will not. be taken to the island. but
will be kept at the Westport Coun-
try club. The last time an animal
——it was a. bull—was moved be-
tween the island and the mainland
it endedjataliy for the animal.
Several years ago when Corby
first purchased the island. there
was a bull that had been kept there.
It was decided to move it ashore.
and so a tin army barge was so-
cured for the purpose. This was
roped off and the bull was also
roped. What happened after that
is an afternoon to be remembered.
'l'he bull would go quictly onto the
barge. but the moment the waiter
began to show between the island
and the barge, the bull would break
of! all the ropes. crash through the
light railing. and go overboard.
lie was recaptured several times.
and every time the procedure would
be repeated. On the barge would go
the bull. the barge would begin to
leave shore, and the hull would
break away.
The final ending (at least. as the
story is told at Ilickory Bluff——
where all good fish stories emanatel
is that the amateur cowboys gave
tip the job. and the hull was shot
and slaughtered.
