TAKING INVENTORY.
Whut greater Christmas gift
could one ask for Norwulk than an
awareness of its own advantages
‘. and defects? And a. determination to
correct the latter.
This community has many won-
derful factors which should further
its growth. its prosperity and the
’happincss of its residents. It. has
major natural advantages. as har-
bor and shore and proximity to big
cities. It has an excellent climate. un
industrious people and a healthy
diversity of industry.
Its defects are many. It allows it-
self to be administered under an un—
Itiquatcd and bothersome form of
government which is a partial bur-
riervto its natural tendency to ex-
1 pend.
There is no adequate central check
on its finances. more than 16 sets
”of books being kept. instead of able,
full-time officials paid a. salary com-
mensuratc with their ability to di-
,. root the affairs of this city. which it-
sclf is the large-Si and most import-
‘ ant cmpomtlon here, we have part-
time office-holders compensated on
a. mlserly scale and with rare excep-
19 tion giving not more. service than
they are paid for.
We have men bent on political
' careers and men in politics whose
I aim is not their fellow citizens' best
, interests. but how much in pull and
‘ favors they can get out of the game.
_ When we as a. city rcuch’thut rare
; state of awareness of our own blem-
ishes and bouiliies. we will cut the
’ knot of complications which perniit
1 us to frame :1 sickly smile at graft
-. and corruption and condone overly
'. much infltlenco secured for their
,own selfish ends by public- service
corporations.
We will stamp out thievery in
places high and low and compel men
"of bruin and ability to be the leaders

to secure them.
We will leil‘rn the joy of being part

“of a growth which is

99tabillty and indus.‘y of its people.

1 month -75 ENTERTAINMENT.
The regular monthly meeting held
in the Rowsyton Hose company‘s
quarters. Tuesday evening, was of
real interest to the entire member-
ship. With Chairman Fred Btaboll
presiding a lively discussion was
carried on regarding ways and
means of morli' thoroughly promob
ing thybest interests of the com-
munltYlsby making the hose. oom-
pnny's quarters as attractive as pos—
sible. especially to the younger
members of the company.
The thought was expressed that
inumuch as it is the present young-
er membership of the company who
will have the management of its at.
fairs in the years to come, every 1-
fort should be made. along the
right lines to keep them interested
in all the company's activities.
It was accordingly voted that the
next meeting should be a special
one. A real feed is to be provided
by Stewards Itnckett and Arnold
with something pretty snappy in the
way of entertainment. to be furnish-
ed by the new entertainment com—

lntcrnutiondl Crime?
The reg rug of Communism is
waved the moment any country
which our American investors wish
to exploit. in their own privutu in-
terest, takes any steps to maintain a
government which does not take its
orders from Washington. or to pro-
tect its wealth and natural resources
from foreign plundering. it is lcgiii-
mate for the United States to take
sides. but an international crime
for other nations.
And we who support the Marines
and who give our sons to its servicr
are the ones who pay the prlcu of
this exploitation.
if Mexico and Nicarauguu are
making laws that infringe on the
legal rights of American invest-nus
in those countries. why not let an
impartial court sit on the question?
That is what the Permanent Court
of international Justice is organized
to do.
Right here in our own town wv
have seen a sharp issue raised be.

forces to curry their side?

both sides said. "and we will settle
it according to law."
The group who dared attempt to
settle a question of property rights
by armed force within the Republic
would be jailed and forever ostraciz-
ed from civilised society.
