TOWN OF OAKVILLE BADLY INNEED OF A DUMP FOR DEBRIS

Lazy Lines

By Kristal GazaWith regard to undertakings there

are, in general, four classes olpeople. First, there are those whonever try to do anything that theyare not forced to do. They makeup the never-do-wells or hoboesconcerning whom some people arealways talking. Second, there arethose who work hard at making arespectable living, but, having ob-tained food, clothing and shelter,and having been assured of physi-cal comfort, look no further. Third,there are those who try to do severaltasks beyond necessity, such as thekeeping of a diary, the following ofsome hobby, adult education of somekind, perhaps a bit of poetry orstory-writing, but who never finishany of these things. Fourth, thereare those who not only try to dosomething extra, but succeedaccomplishing much beyond theird^'ly living necessities.

In -ii\ i robaVi'lity most people to-day arf in class two or class three.To class three let us turn our atten-tion for a while. They start agi-iat many enterprises, and then,for some human reason, are notable to carry them through to anysatisfactory completion. Thosethe second class are quite apt topuinl scornfully to such failings asa sort of defense of their own smugways of living. However, jt iswell to remember that it is betterto try and f^il, than never to try atall. People in the third class arequite liable to have periods of severedespondency when in memory theylook back upon many brave begin-nings. In their homes are the signsof such beginnings, tucked aroundm various corners, to rebuke thefailures.

But, after all, the future hope ofthe race lies with those who are, atleast, willing to try some hobby.Many times a mere hobby turnsout to be more important to theworld than the main lines of workwhich one follows. Paul's mainwork through which he madea living was tent-making. RobertLouis Stevenson was educated tobe an engineer and then seriouslystudied law. Pasteur went for fromthe conventional work required ofa physician when he delved intothe secrets of the microbes ac-companying fermentation. How Earfrom the accustomed path he wand-ered is proved by the reaction oftraditional doctors of his day to hiswork.

A word of encouragement to thosewilling to get behind activities whichHe outside necessity is in order.What most of us ought to do isto push a little harder toward com-pletion.

K. G.

The merchants in Oakville woul<particularly welcome some sort olaction relative to a suitable spot towhich could be taken the Town'sdebris, and which now has to becarted to either Watertown or theWaterbury City dump, and which ineither case requires loss of time ancinconvenience, and they feel thaiOakville should have it's own com-munity dump.

It is no doubt a good thought andone worthwhile thinking about, infact, one worth taking action on,and it has even been suggested thaiit would be a mighty good idea iithe Pin Shop Pond were filled inand one made there. This woin the summer particularly, removethe terrible odor from the ponefrom which one can smell anythingfrom a dead dog or cat to any kindof fish.

Oakville although part of Water-wn seems to be somewhat behind

in many respects on certain thingssuch as the one mentioned here, butthe fact remains that they have topay taxes just the same despite thatfact, and it might be a good ideafor the powers to be in Oakville loat least mention the desire for sucha project as cue can never car. ret)what, might develop into an actualrealization.

But if one were to dwell on thesubject sanely for just a few mom-ents it seems perfectly logical toassume that possibly Oakville shouldlave its own community dump, infact, ought to have it.

Here's hoping the matter may bebrought to a head by the actual\appening of a dump, which would>e more than appreciated by thenhabitants of Oakville.

CAMEO TO HAVE SPECIALKIDDIE SHOW SAT., JAN.30The Cameo Theatre will be the

scene of another one of those pop-ular selected shows on Saturday,an. 30, at 10:00 A. M. sharp. Fromime to time these shows have

WHO'S WHO IN THE NEWS

Officer Louis Jordon

At this writing it is unfortunateindeed to announce that Officer Jor-dan went to his home on Tuesdaylast, feeling ill, and upon summoniii]the doctor found that he had atemperature of 102 and was immedi-ately ordered to bed. Officer Jor-dan is being; attended by Dr.Royal Meyers.

Since being appointed to the forceon March 28th, 1936, Officer Jor-dan has done his job ably and faith-fully, and is very well liked in thecommunity, and has figured promi-nently in several arrests all of which/ere justified.

A policeman's life is not alto-gether a pleasant one and especiallyin a small community such as Water -

'ii where lie is on duty subject to24-hour call, and after all one mustbe fairly good natured and con-genial most of the time in orderto be called at any hour of the nightor day, and still be termed a goodfellow.

Officer Jordan has been a resi-dent of Watertown for a long timeand is well known, also well liked.and his appointment seemed to be andeal one when made, and he has

accordingly lived up to expectations,fact, exceeded them, and it is

noped by all who have occasion toje in contact with him that he willcontinue to carry on in the samesuccessful way and that he will ral-y quickly from his present sickness.

GOLF SCHOOL OPENS

A unique golf school has beenopened in the Kingsbury hotel>uilding in Harrison Avenue underthe supervision of J. J. (Bud) Geog-aehan, popular managing directorand professional at the HighlandClub, Meriden, where many Water-burians play during the summermonths.

"Bud" will give individual lessonsand instruction day and night, butonce a week he plans a class forboth men and women golfers atwhich they can solve their linksproblems by asking questions.

Behind The Scenes £n>iih

Raty Beauty - Bob PalmerCounted out of the race for

Western Connecticut League honortwo weeks ago, Coach At Defend'Watertown High School Indianhave brought followers to their feetby two consecutive triumphs osuccessive Fridays over Litchfieldand Leaven worth respectively.

After beating Litchfield 31-18 tw-•eeks ago, fans were still not willing

to consider the belated bid forlaurels seriously. They had heardhow Lcavcnworth had upset Therry-viile, a team which had whippedWatertown earlier in the season.Now the dangerous Tech Tigerswere coming to the Silk Town toclaw the Indians down. But theRedmen had different ideas, theyknew that their win over the Cow-boys was nothing ftuky, they alsohad a pretty good idea that Leaven-worth would not be able to solve its

v tricky offensive attack. Theywere confident from the start thatthey would beat the Waterburycrew and they were going out toprove it.

Last Friday evening found themdoing just that, for they beat backthe savage attack of the Tiger andeked out a well earned 17-13 victoryfor their second win in league com-petition. Leavenworth's defeat threwthe league into a wide open raceand it's every man for himself fromnow on.

Captain Vinnie Krull played hisbest game of the season tossing inseveral long hoops at critical mo-ments. Johnny Werenko, youngfreshman star played another finegame scoring five markers and toss-ing in what proved to be the decid-ing hoop when the score was dead-locked at 13 all. Johnny Slasondid a marvelous job of bottling upPeaches Evans, the feared coloredthreat of the visitors. Evans failedto score from the field until the finalminute of play when his basketocked the score.

The game marked the final ap-pearance of Johnny Drodvillo rangycenter who will be ineligible becauseof the age ruling which will comento effect on him this week. Thismeans that Captain Krull will beshifted back to the pivot post, butwe have reasons to believe thatGeorge Pierce would fit in nice here.During the course of a struggle,'icrce rarely loses the tap. Atwood,nd Slason have been doing most•f the guarding this year and doing. good job of it the past few weeksvhile Werenko, Palmer and Piercetave been doing the front court play.

This week's game offers no let-down for the DeJand Charges forthe league leading Terryville sharp-shooters come to town. This meansthat the Injuns will have had severalstiff drills during the week to shapeup their marksmanship for the im-portant tilt. After last month'sleeting with Terryville, the Deland-

_ien have been playing inspired bas-ketball and Coach Joe Jablonowski'sboys are going to find them plentydifferent and will have their hands:ull in attempting to stop the on-slaught of the Tribe.

WATERTOWN ARGUS

JUSTICE IN THE SMALL COURTSThe best possible way for one

receive Justice in our Courts today,especially our small town courts,is to be in the form of strictly aforeigner or else one who has notbeen made a citizen but who hasbeen in this country for a number ofyears.

The word JUSTICE seems to beobsolete these days, in that goodAmerican families cannot allow theirlittle boys or girls out to play ontheir own property without havingsome degenerate come along andentice them into some secluded spot,committing a crime that the statehas obtained enough evidence onto hang a person, but when the casecomes to trial before a supposedlyintellectual and long time Judge, thecase is dismissed on the grounds cfinsufficient evidence.

Two doctors made examinationsand their evidence when presented,unless somewhere along the linesomeone had waved a good sizedcheck in someone's face, would havebeen enough to convict the de-

idsnt for at least from one to fiveyears, but is must have been thatsomeone did wave a check for thecase was dismissed and the guiltyparty set free, only to possibly ina short time to commit the samedeed all over again.

But this is, of course, what istermed JUSTICE and the good cleanliving, hard working parents of thechildren in question just go on withan injury tingling in their veinsthat any human being would havea hard time living down, especiallywhen the crime committed involvedan innocent little child, and whicheven the defendant's attorney wasunable to break down ' when theyoungster was placed on the stand.

A tremendous and remarkabletask for a big strong husky attorneyto be doing, trying to break down abeautiful little youngster who iseven too young to tell anythingbut the truth, and does not knowwhat it is all about, but still hopingthat he would be able to find someflaw in the child's testimony.

And up on the bench sits a greatbig Judge listening to the case aspresented by the State and by thedefendant's attorney, and after threedays of trial dismisses the case onthe grounds of insufficient evidence,but which in actual facts the stateHad enough facts to crucify thedefendant, but the proud and cleanliving parents are still trying to findout who threw the monkey wrenchinto the works, and which was nodoubt thrown before the case wentto trial

It is hoped by those who knowthe facts concerning this particular

case that even in view of the resultup to the present time, that theparents will not stop here, but fighton until they have obtained a justdecision in this very obvious reasonwhy the dismissal case that it was.

As a warning to all parents ofchildren who really care about theirchildren, teach them to trust no oneand above all never to go with astranger when asked, for the worldis full of just such characters thatcommitted the crime referred toherein.

BETHLEHEM NEWS

CLEVELAND MAN TO PRESENT BUSTTO REPUBLIC OF SAN MARINO, JULY 4

"Dr. Kenneth Scott, professor ofclassics at Western Reserve Uni-versity, who first learned of the mostserene republic of San Marino whenhe began a stamp collection in hisboyhood, will present on July 4 abust of Lincoln to this least andoldest Republic which has recentlybecome a reality to him.

"Until 1932 San Marino was justa place which issued stamps. Butin the summer of that year,, whenDr. Scott took his family to Rimini,Italy, he discovered that the strangelittle country of the stamp bookwas within walking distance, andwas visible high among the cloudson the top of Mount Titano like adream country.

"He climbed up to it. In scholarlyfashion he dug into the archivesand studied the government of the14,400 inhabitants, and discoveredthat San Marino is a sort of Utopia.It has neither labor troubles norunemployment, nor debts, and since

its founding in 301 A. D. has hadexceptionally long periods of peace.Refused Opportunities.

"Its people do not want wealth,"Dr. Scott said last night at his homeat 2555 Kenilworth Road, ClevelandHeights, "for that would make theirrepublic worth conquering. Twicethey refused opportunities to turntheir republic into a resort likeMonte Carlo.

"Napoleon offered them lands,but they refused them. As a re-sult, when Napoleon was out, thesanctity of their independence wasstill respected. With almost un-paralled wisdom and renunciationof worldly things for the ideals offreedom they have kept free fromstrife and bloodshed."

Dr. Scott wrote a monographon the government of San Marinowhich will soon be publsihed. Thecitizens opened their ancient booksand recounted their traditions so

BEHIND THE SCENES

Continued from page 2Hills Awaiting "Break"Anxious to Play Hockey

As this is being written, it doesn'tseem likely that Frankie Hlavnaand his band of Chestnut Hills willplay much hockey this season, butby the time you're reading it (ifanyone does) it will probably haveswitched to zero temperatures.

However regardless of the weath-er, the Hills have assembled one ofth strongest sextets ever to repre-sent the Silk Town on any rink.After winning the Waterbury Ama-teur Title last season Mgr. Hlavnafigured the boys good enough toenter in the State League, playingail games on the road, but becauseof the warm weather (anyway itwas a couple of days ago) theyhave not been able to do much skat-ing as yet.

Frankie is confident that old JackFrost will come to his aid in all hi:old time glory before long and hashis boys lined up as follows. BabeSherwood, former Connecticut Yan-kee standout, will coach and playwith the Hills this season. He hassecured the following to play underthe Hill banner this season. FreddyBurr, former Yale star, LarryHamilton, one of the best goaliesever developed at Taft School,Freddy Wilson, Johnny Cowperth-wake, Johnny Atwood, Townshend,Huston, Beere, Hanning, Thompson,3 Sherwood boys, Johnny, Bob andBabe, Charley Wells and FrankHlavna. Bob Lawson takes careof the secretarial duties and doesa good j°l) of it in the bargain.Well here's hoping, Bob.League Ball Hereabouts

Whether this latest effort to re-store league baseball to Waterburyand other cities formerly of thedefunct Eastern League will bearfruit is doubted, at least until JoeCarr is through with his missionarywork lining up a six-club circuit,but there can be no dispute that theidea has more promise than it pos-sessed in years passed.

Unfortunately, in Waterbury andother cities there are few high-tottedmen who are willing to back upa ball club. Years ago there weremany men willing to be in on abaseball franchise because they wereardent lovers of the game and wili-ng to sacrifice a slice of their roll.

Whenever a movement, made toreorganize a baseball league, isbrought about there are many mcet-ngs that are necessary and it re-

quires business-like men and soundbaseball experience with skill inconducting new ideas. No doubtthere will be no league unless theepresenting cities can give full

financial support to their club andwithout this there will be none. Itcannot be a take-a-chance circuit.

Waterbury has an excellent op-portunity to enter now that theywill soon have a new closedin parkon Watertown Avenue with a 4,000'eating capacity. Night and Satur-

day and Sunday ball .would benefitmost in Waterbury. Week-day ballwould not be much of a success asthe Brass City is a manufacturingcenter.

We feel that failure to get a:aguc going this year with business

conditions so good would absolutelymean no more attempt would bedirected toward this league formany years to come.
