(Bridgeport Telegram)
The Telegram is glad to join Its
contemporaries throughout the state
in welcoming Maurice Sherman of
the Springfield Union to the ranks or
Connecticut Journalism. it is a real
acquisition.And Mr. Sherman for his
part. we know. will find the atmos-
phere of Connecticut not less bracing
than that of the state which he is
leaving.
For over 80 years Maurice Sher-
man has been associated with the
Springfield Union and has perhaps
done more than anyone to bring
that paper to its high standing in
the field of journalism. His ability.
his training and his background
are Ill needed to fit him for his new
part. for he steps into big shoes
when he replaces Charles Hopkins
Clark. whose trenchaut pen has been
temporarily stifled by advancing
years and illness. It. is with real sad-
neu that the newspaper frsternity
in Connecticut sees the gradual dis-
sociation of that powerful combina-
tion. "Clark and the Courant" and

produce a mixture just as heady. and

One night at a theatre I witnessed
an amateur Charleston contest. By
the time we got in the affair was
ball over and all I,‘lc contestants had
been eliminated but. four. After s
while two more were voted out and
that left one couple. a boy and a girl
about sixteen years of age.~
I think they had been dancing for
an hour. The evening was warm.
Their faces were flushed. their
shoulders heaving. There was an al-
lurlng prize of a hundred dollars one
a trip somewhere.
The two started again sud danced
for five minutes. The voting was done
by the applause. The house was
divided evenly, They danced again!
