His new book, "B. F.'j Daughter," is being hailed as "the best of Marquand's five novels of our American way of life." "B.

Mr. Marquand is a skilful writer who knows how to. tell a story. His hook holds your interest from the first page to the last. He knows his people. In fact, as bnc critic on the distaff side commented, he shows an understanding of women that makes one downright uneasy.

Tlie coal strike over, Tor the time | being a t least, and the "dim-out" restrictions lifted, the Christmas lights, festooned across Main street all the way from Bradloj' avenue to the- Town Green a t Hemingway avenue, a re bringing Christmas cheer to the cente'r of the town.

AN EAST H A V E N D E N T A L CLINIC

I t is an cneuurat'iiij,' sitrii of n developing community spir i t when a n or{janizatioii, the IJotary-c lub in tliis ins tanct , is ciuTciitly ex­plor ing the possibilities o£ developing a Dental Clinic tor the school chi ldren of East Haven. At, last week 's meeting of the well kiiowai I transforming the shopping center service club the speaker , ^vho directs the dental hygiene program ofjnightly for the remainder of the tlio S i a t e l l e a l t l i Ueparlniont was invited to discuss a program such LeQsbn Into a real Chrlstmas-tlmo as might be provided in the schools of thin town i t .sulllcient funds ' a rc forthcoming. Members of the Denta l i irojcct committee of tho B o a r d of Educat ion also a t tended and cvndenced much interest in the plans .

Those I'amiliar with public health problems have long realized t h a t one of the wide areas iii which funds can well ho applied to­w a r d the future well-being of the citizens is t h a t of dental hcillth.

sAU too many children, for one reason or another , [ail to obtain the denta l corrective measures and t rea tments before' i t is too late. The

record of the draf t examining boards i n the last war toUl the story nil too vividly of the disastrous effect of dental neglect. J l any en­terpr is ing communities Inivc a l ready init iated p rograms for dental work among their school children.

AVo do not know w h a t action will be taken by the Rotary club or other public spir i ted local organizat ions in sponsoring the s t a r t of such a program in Eas t Haven. The fae t however that such a pro-,iect is being explored by the Rotiii'ians is indicative of tho interest which is being t aken in the public welfare. Should the club, possibly

' wi th the aid, ot other organizat ions, find the W a y s and means of launch ing such a program here it will b e in line -with the tradit ional aims and ob.iects of this pioneer service ^organization.

scheduled to be turned on December 1, the situation was Indeed dark, dark literally, with even the usual stoic fronts and advertising signs blacked ou t by the emergency orders. The Business association's s t reet lighting and decorations com­mittee headed by Eric O. Curry had even considered the use of a dlesel generator to provide current had the "dim-out" continued.

Then, over the radio Saturday afternoon, came the glad news, and plans went into the works Im­mediately to give East Haven its long anticipated Christmas Illum­ination. With the $1,400 fund which has been raised through contribu­tions by the town, the busness men and various organizations, It has been possible to provide a much bigger display than the one last

PASSING "STOP" SIGNS

One of our East Haven neighbors, 1 long Identified with the safety pro­gram In this area, suggested to us this week that we speak out a few words about the all to common

, practice of autolsts In Ignoring "s top" signs. He expressed the opin­ion tha t altogether too. many car di-lvers have gotlien Into the habi t of "zooming" Into through traffic s treet without giving a thought to the "stop" sign which the police and traffic authorities have p u t up for the motorists' safety.

We. agree with our neighbor. We too, like so many others must con­fess t ha t a t t imes we have grown Careless If there Is no car In view, as we move from an intersection into a through street, many of us, un­consciously, move on past the "stop" sign, and thereby do become a violator of the very law which we

4uto^^(;easofle3-^pa(ii''MorgansJiftyc.l arranged colorful dtsplays. Nearer to the Town Hall the Gift Shop, and Flora Sherman's have also arranged delightful Christmas windows.

All in all, a bu.sy Christmas season scams assured for Main street.

The followliig public s ta tement was made this week by Martin Olson, building contractor and de­veloper;

"Here Is one reason why Veterans can not got housing. On August 22, 1940—1 applied to the zoning Board of East Haven for ,a change In zoning which would permit the con­struction ot a permanent apar tment building to be known as the Garden Apartments. Tho plans called tor 57 complete one-family apar tments to be built a t 308 Main St., west of Bradley Ave., on what was formerly the Klrkham property. ^

"Two of East Haven's highest of­ficials did everything within their power lo block this application. And, they almost succoded when a vote was finally taken on the a p ­plication by the Zoning Board de ­spite t h a t fact t h a t a t the public hearing no opposition was voiced. But, this sanction wiis stlir subject to tho approval of the Town Board ot Health. ,

Hero again—the delaying tactics of the two highest officials wore divulged by the tact t ha t the State Board of Health approved our a p ­plication promptly on October 2 ^ but It was not until December 7— exactly 86 days later—that the Town's Board of Health got a round to notifying us ot the approval and finally granting us permission to start building.

'This long and, unnecessary do-lay was very effective In preventing the s ta r t of construction until winter weather made It lmpract(cal to s tar t . And, now there Is no way of knowing what further (Idtaysmay be encountered before constriictlon [begins next Spring. ^. 1 "Meanwhile—an apar tment for 57 families wovild have been nqurlng

If "stop" signs are placed where many believe they should not- be, as for Instance the "stop" signs a t Forbes and Klmberly avenues, the remedy is not to Ignore them, but to petition the public safety au­thorities to reconsider their action. Traffic rules are made to protect the public, and any violation of these traffic rules should properly be the subject of police warning, which If not heeded, should be fol­lowed up by a summons. When the police, as they often do, s tar t c a m ­paigns against "stop" sign violators, cooperation and not censure, ought to be the public response. /

The new frontage will later be extended to the full fifty feet of the property frontage and will provide commbdlus display windows and salesroom for the growing busi­ness.

Since opening for business a year or so ago the store has been housed in the dwelling where a large dis­play front had been temporallly a^ded. The pi:oprletor contemplates a complete stock of furniture, floor coverings and household appliances.

judges—along with Dorothy Canficld, Clifton Fadiman, Henry Seidel Canby and Christo­pher Motley—had two books-of-the-month to Ills credit—"IT. M. Pulham, Esq.," and "So Little Time."

His new book, "B. F.'s Daughter," is being hailed as "the best of Marquand's five novels of our American way of life." "B. F.'s Daugh­ter" tells tho story of Polly Fulton, who has money, glamour and intelligence, and who still cannot find a happy life for herself. It is also the story of the disruption on the civilian front that came as the backwash of the war.

Mr. Marquand is a skilful writer who knows how to. tell a story. His hook holds your interest from the first page to the last. He knows his people. In fact, as tine critic on the distaff side commented, he shows an understanding of women that makes one downright uneasy.

Lctitia Preston Osborne, author of "They Change Their Skies" and "Through Purple Glass," claims to be the only living lady novelist who is loved by an iguana. It seems that recently when she vacationed in the Honduras, an iguana, a dreamy, Latin type, kept watching her from a neighborhood tree. Finally one day he showed up in the family bathtub

with a hopeful and admiring look on hii li'/.ard's face. He was removed by the hired man. .

Members of the Dental project committee Board of Educat ion also a t tended and evndeneed much interest the iilnns.

Those familiar with public health problems have long realized that one of the wide areas iii which funds can well he applied to­ward the future well-being of the citizens is t h a t of dental heillth.

-All too many eliildren, for one reason or another , tail to obtain dental corrective measures and t rea tments before it is too late,

Wo do not know wha t action will be taken by the Rotary club or other public spiri ted local organizat ions in sponsoring the s ta r t of such a program in Eas t Haven. The fact however that s\icb n (iro-.iect is being explored by the Rotar ians is indicative of the interest wliich is being t aken in tho public welfare. Sliould the clnb, possibly

The au thor of " M i r a c l e of the B e l l s " is a press a g e n t turned riovelist in his la t te r years , and it is the story of a tiress agent , who, before he knows it, has become an unwittin<r public relat ions repre­sentative to no other than tha t Mighty AVarrior of the Heaveidy Host, Sa in t Michael, tho Archangel .

By all means read "Mi rac l e of the Be l l s . "

For a time, after the lights were scheduled to be turned on December 1, the situation was Indeed dark, dark literally, with even the usual store fronts and advertising signs blacked out by the emergency orders. The Business association's s t ree t lighting and decorations com­mittee headed by Erie G. Curry had even considered the use of a diesel generator to provide current had the "dim-out" continued.

Then, over the radio Saturday afternoon, came the glad news, and plans went into tho works im­mediately to give East Haven Its long anticipated Christmas Illum­ination. With the $1,400 fund which has been raised through contribu­tions by the town, the busness men and various organizations. It has been possible to provide a much bigger display than the one last year which at tracted so much fa-vorablle attention, vorable at tention. Tlie lights were turned on Monday night by First Selectman ames J. Sullivan.

Merchants, on the whole, an tlcl-pate a big Christmas business this season and never have East Haven stores been so completely' stocked. Every effort has been made to en­courage buying locally and to a t ­t ract shoppers from the eirtire shop­ping • a r ea i , which, surrounds..: tho town. ' '

PASSING " S T O P " SIGNS

One of our East Haven neighbors, long identified with the safety pro­gram in this area, suggested to us this week tha t we speak out a few words about the all to common practice of autolsts In ignoring "stop" signs. He expressed the opin­ion tha t altogether too. many car drivers have gotten into tlie habit of "zooming" into through traffic street without giving a thought to the "stop" sign which the police and. traffic authorit ies have p u t up for the motorists ' safety.

We. agree with our neighbor. We too, like so many others must con­fess t h a t a t times we have grown Careless If there Is no car in view, as we move from an intersection Into a through street, many of us, un­consciously, move on past the "stop" sign, and thereby do become a violator of the very law which we

The following public s tatement was made this week by Martin Olson, building contractor and de ­veloper;

Here Is one reason why Veterans can not get housing. On August 22, 1940—1 applied to the zoning Board of East Haven for .a change in zoning which woidd permit the con­struction of a permanent apar tment building to be known as the Garden Apartments. The plans called for 57 complete one-family apar tments to be buil t at 308 Main St., west of Bradley Ave., on wha t was formerly the Klrkham properly.

"Two of East Haven's highest of­ficials did everything within their power to block th i s application. And, they almost succedcd when a vote was finally taken on the a p ­plication by the Zoning Board de ­spite t h a t fact t h a t a t tho public hearing no opposition was voiced. But, th is sanction was still subject to tho approval of the Town Board of Health. ,

If "stop" signs are placed where many believe they should not- be,

for Instance the "stop" signs a t Forbes and KImberly avenues, the remedy Is no t to Ignore them, but to petition the public safety au­thorities to reconsider their action. Traffic rules are made to protect the public, and any violation of these traffic rules should properly be the subject of police warning, which if not beeded, should be fol­lowed up by a summons. When the police, as they often do, s t a r t cam­paigns against "stop" sign violators, cooperation and not censure, ought to be the public response. /

Prank CrKwri and Vlnny Castel-lon tossed In 22 and 13 polnls, re­spectively, with the former making several amazing and sensational shots. Bill Thomson, Jimmy Glynn and Johnny De Flllpps al.-io played brilliant ball.

De.?plto the score, the contest was well played, with the visitors al­ways a threat due to the agresslve play of Blarke and Farquarson.

The Beach Heads face their first real test of the season on the same program when they square off against the Hotel Talmadge five, formerly known as the' Branford •Vets. This should be a hum-denger.

Charlie Coyle, the Barbers mana­ger. Is working on a schedule whereby the strongest teams In the state will bo shown here In the near future. The Barber Boys Insist' on a tough menu and from all indlca-catlons their appetites will be satis­fied. ,'.,.

The balcony bleachers will bo in­stalled for next Sundays game, and there will be more seating capacity to accomjnodote those who hpd to stand.

Both the Barbers and Beachles are waiting tor their uniforms which are due, for delivery this month, possibly before Christmas. A delay at the factory to secure good material htui been the cause of the latness ol*' delivery.

If you see the name of East Ha­ven Townles announced in the papers from now on, remember that it is the same Barbers team, same 'Sponsors. Due to specific rea­sons. It has been deemed necessary to change tlie name and wo hope you'll like It.

100 Years Of Christmas Cards Ky John 1', Morgan

I..tt3t Christmas Season, over Three Billion Greeting Cards were mailed In this country. Of this the far larger partlon was Christmas Cards. Proof Indeed that there Is plenty of jienilment these days In this world of oursi Compare this with the dis­tribution of the first known printed Christmas Card, lOO years ago.

Tlic first known published card was one etched In England In 1842, but of Its distribution little Is known. A copy has been found and turned over the British Mu.seimi, (Note; a picture of this same card can beseen at my store.). A highly decorated card, flat style, as differ­ing from today's folder, and ,show-Ing several scenes at once, ot people rcasUng, dancing, visiting and skat­ing, A space Is provided at the top with the work "To" and also at the bottom with "From" The message pictured on a banner in the center reads simply "A Merry Christmas A Happy Now Year, to You, This card was'etched by W, M, Kgley,

In 1840, J. C, Ilorsely, another etcher, published and sold 1000 hand colored Christmas Cards, This, though In England, Is the first known published card with a wide distribution,'. Gradually the Idea caught on and others published cards. The custom got Its start In this bountry a few years later, and the earliest known published cards In America,; were those, of, Louis Ptang, of RoxWiry, Mass In 1874. For luwhilc ho led the field In this en­deavor, and added Easter and Birth­

day numbers. However, he had t meet competition from cheap card imported from Germany an, Austria.

The Industry as we know It today had Its start shortly after the tun ot the century. Most of the carlle Cords wore the flat single stylo. Th' "French Fold" typo of card came In­to Its own here sometime In tht Twenties.

In olden times, the sending ol "Greetings" was limited to those whr. were literate, such as noblemen clergy and scholars. King Henry VIII, among other things was fond of his artl.stlc ability, and would design and write out his greeting;; to other Monarchs ot Europe. Earliest among "Greetings" were those used to express love and af­fection on St. Valentine's Day, but then that Is another Iplcresling story.: , ,

The main purpose of a Christmas Card Is to Inspire friendliness, remen brance and good thought ot this time of the year They are made for many more purposes than usually seen, as well as for all friends and relatives, but even to greet the family doctor, nurse, or a fisher­man friend. During the recent war, cords were exchanged all over the world, and mony people here re­ceived cords made In many far off lands. The Christmas Spirit Is truly universal. The Chrlstma.s card has earneH Its place In the lives of all tho.se who like to keep their friend­ship n repair.

Boughs are daily rifled By the gusty thieves. And the book of Nature Gctteth short of leaves.

Thomas Hood The Study Group met at the

home of Mrs. John H. McCabe on Friday, December 6 at 2:30 p. m.

Miss MadoUn Zacher spoke ot the Christmas corsages brought by the members, and read the list ot shut-ins to whom they would be sent, the remainder to go to the Newlngton Home for Crippled Chil­dren. The corsages were very artis­tic and attractive in bright red, sil­

ver and green. Mrs. Scott W. Gilbert read an In­

teresting paper, subject: "Getting Ready tor Christmas." Mrs. Gilbert said, "The old saying 'Ijet's moke a wreath for Christmas' has been changed to a newer phrase, "Let's decorate'—and, oh, how far afield those words have taken us garden­ers."

Faced with the fact that, for an­other year at Icost, Laurel cannot be used for legal garden club en­tries, ond that the Ground Pine, the Club Moss, the Black Elder ber­ry, the Bittersweet and the Holly

But first, before we take up the discussion of the various decorations, let us consider our doors and doorways. We hear It said, "But my door Is nonde­script It will not lend Itself to dec­oration!" That may be a problem, but what a successful one if you can so arrange your decoration as to make it seem outstanding 1 Study your doorwoyl Make use of Its geo­metrical proportions before at­tempting any decoration. For plain wooden panelled doors ot our own New England type, stick to the out­lines of your door ond keep your decorations simple. In keeping with the architecture. Use out-of-thc ordinary evergreens for your decor­ation, but keep the wreaths or .swag proportlonotely simple and even austere!

Keep your blue greens and true greens together—and remember that the yellow greens have made a place for themselves—but be sure of the harmonizing cITect when placing those dllTerent greens to­gether. Hemlock Is more eflcotlve and graceful than the Running Pine ever could he, ond Rhododen­dron, the evergreen Barberry, the Leucothe all give the same glossy grene effect as did the Holly or the Laurel.

. -^ ••] Stefan Zwclg devoted the last ten years of ' his life to a study of the mani his sUperb blog- J

nphy, "Balzac," is the Book-of-tiie-Month I Club selection for December.

What a childhood Balzac hadi At his birth,! his mother turned him over to his nurse. When | he was four siic farmed him out to a family' of strangers. At seven, he was pacited off to' boarding school, where for seven more years; he was starved, beaten and even, on one occa- ,

/.(^j^imM' ^ """< P"' u"" stocks. These harsh years were ^?Wy^ vv^ to color all his life. 1

- •!-•' TBffl At 20 lie wrote his first work—0 ponder-' ously dull tragedy called "Cromwell." After

this failure, for several years lie wrote sensational stories that could find immediate sales, anil in such epic quantity that no complete record has ever been made.

Only after this curious apprenticeship, and as a result of a woman's love and confidence, did he feel suilicirntiy secure to start writihg the masterpieces for wliich lie is known today.

B.\lzac was always a man of extremes. From turning out drivel, to which Jie never gave a second glance, he became the most exacting critic of his own work. He rewrote and rewrote each of his stories from tiie galley sheets, until tlic cost of the corrections ate up his profits. He entered inio.a gigantic publishing Speculation and ended up with debts from wliicii he was never to be freed. He made and spent more money than any writer of his time. Plebeian in his appearance, and a man of the people, the great love of his life was an enormously wcaltliy Russian aristocrat. "In my live-foot two-inches," lie once wrote, "there is com­pressed every imaginable contrast and contradiction."

Speaking of biograpliics of great French writers, Mattiiew Joscplison has written an excellent both about Stendhal, one of the greatest., Stendhal was born in the d.i'ys of Louis XVI, died in tlic early years of Queen Victoria's reign. He lived in a time of war and revoJutiqn, not' unlike our own, played his role in Napoleon's army, and went into exile' when Napoleon fell and tlic Bourbons returned to France. His two cliief' novels, "The Red and the Black" and "The Ciiartcrhouse of I'amia," are amazingly contemporary. Stendhal always bragged about being ahead of his time. "I am taking out a ticket in a lottery whose winning number is 1S3S," lie said a'hundrcd years afo. He was right; he liad the winning ticket for immortality.

tors to be considered. Study the naturalistic harmony

of the greens before attempting to combine them. The blue-green of certain Pine and the Blue Spruce

combines with our native Bayborry and proves o good foil for the red of the Sumoch berry or Japanese Barberry. The yellow greens and the bronze greens can well be mode to

go hand In hand. Separate your different greens—work out your green color scheme, according to your color chart. It you will, and evolve that which Is'beautlful to you and to the Judges.

REIWEIWBEB the old story? Wliere the teacher said: "Jimmy, how would you divide three

apples among four people?" And Jimmy answered: "Make apple sauce!"

We wish Jimmy could solve our problem that easily. So far we've led the whole world in production of postwar cars . . . delivering thousands of 1946 Fords. But we still have unfilled orders for over a million more.

• You know the reason for the lag in filling those orders. . . the labor shortages, the material shortages, and all those other hitches in getting back to normal.

That doesn't leave us many apples to divide. And as fair and square as we try to be, we just can't make apple sauce from automobiles. But what we can do is tell you what a great Ford you've got coming up in your future.

And while you're waiting, one other thing we can do is urge you to let us keep an eye on your pre.sent Ford to protect your safety, comfort and investment.

]^urFordDealer

WE REALIZE... tliat the present abnormal demand for automobiles will not last forever; that the day will come when WE SHALL BE KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR asliing for business. There­fore, as in the past, wo are endeavoring to so conduct our business that we may always merit your confidence and respect.

Why Bert Won First Prize

Tolka weren't surprised when Bert Childcrs won first prize for his corn at tho county fair.

Yet the judges ndmit it wasn't just because Bert had the fineafc ears of corn, lie knew how to rfifl-plajf them: neatly nrrangcd, with the husks cleanly trimmed, and tho booth white and spotless.

"Trimmings" sure make a difTcr-cncc no matter what you're offer­ing—as Andy Dotkin, keeper of tho Garden Tavern, well knows. Andy doesn't just sell good beer. He sells it in a place that's clean and attrac­tive... in nice surroundings that

belong with tlie enjoyment of a wholesome hevera( c of moderation.

And Andy, of course, is a whole­hearted supporter of "Self Regu­lation." That's the system by which tho Brewers and tavern keepers themselves make sure that taverns selling beer are clean and orderly.

From where I . sit, people like Andy also rate a "First prize.** Not just for the quality of the product —but for the "trimmings" too.

STRICTLY LOCAL A LITTLE ABOUT THIS AND THAT

BY PAUL H, STEVENS

TRAGEDY BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Tragedy is no rcspeclor of seasons, Deatli stulks the highwiiys even lit Chrjstma,s-tinie, .

The synipatl\y ol' tins entire oonnmniity goes out warmly llns, tlie weel5-before Clwistnnis, lo Steplion T, and Bertha Onltley of 11 Lindbergh street, whose beloved oldest daunbter, Carol, a beginner in Grade 1 o£ Laurel school, and only six years old, died of a frac­tured skull late Monday afternoon in Grace Hospital, Her four year old sister, Judy, scarcely old enough to realize what is happening in a home turned s\iddenly from gladness to sadness, still wails, starry-eyed, for the cominR of Santa, about whom her sister had had so much to sav during the past few weeks.

On the day of the tragedy a freshly-bought Christmas tree-stood in the back yard awaiting the time when it would be brought into the house and decorated with tinsel and bright lights, Doll houses, furniture and toys had been hidden away, safe from prying, inquhsi-tive little eyes. There was a spirit of gay anticipation in the little home on Lindbergh street, as in so many other East Haven hoinles these passing days. Then to the mother and father came the sicken­ing, shattering news!

Carol was on the way home from school only a block or so away. She was other children, romping and gay oiie minute, and crushed beneath an automobile the next. Tragedy had struck once more. The driver of the car, Joseph N, Potvin, 7", of 10 McLay avenue, took the crumpled form to Dr. Taylor's office at the center, .and w.itlim minutes the child was being rushed to Grace Hospital in the Ambu­lance which notary gave to the Town a few years ago. Everything that mediiial science could do was done, but without avail.

This was East Haven's second trailic fatality this year. It there are lessons to be learned from this tragedy, pray God, we a heed them.

FROM BEACON HILL AT CHRISTMAS

No more beautiful scene can be imagined than the view eastward from the., summit of Beacon Hill on a clear cold December evening when, just after twiliglit, the lightij begin to come on in East Haven.

At that time the dusk gathers quickly and spruce-covered Sal-tonstall ridge is soon lost to the eye. A shore line train speeds across the flats north of town, lights glowing eheerilly from its string of ears, and a long wreath of smoke, trailing behind, a gray smudge in the background. Far above, in the vaulted dome of the heavens, the stars have begun to come out, bright and sparkling. Then, in a twink­ling, the street lights hurst forth, and from' north tp south and east to west,;East,Hayenisfleeked with myriad, points of 1ight.,ThedweU

• liiigs, indisiinguishable'Ta the darkness, and dwarfed to lilliputian •size from the height and distance of Beacon Hill, show tiny, glow­ing windows, that tell of comfort and Christmas cheer within the homes. Cutting a gay swarth of brightness througli the center of the picture are the multicolored Christmas lights of Main street reaching as far as the darker blot which murks the Town Green beyond.

There are mflny view's in. and around East Haven tluit delight us at other seasons of the year, but one has to stand, as we have, on the summit ol Beacon Hill at twilight in the Christmas season to en-,ioy a scene long.to be remembered.

PITFALLS FOR THE UNWARY

The News Letter of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce points

The Lights Are On Again-But Not For All

Hy Virginia S. Hcpbo

Looking back to Christinas two years ago we tind a grelit contrast to this, our Christmas of 1!M(), Hack In Iflll many of lis had preiiarod for Christmas long before Thanksgiving, That was when we sent our jiackagcs early, so our boys would have their gifts by Christinas Day, assuring them of a measure of the Yule-tide spirit.

We did not look upon Christmas that year, or in 194!!, or 1012 or liMl as a sea.son of bright lights, AVc were then more in-torcslcd in the news (lashes than the Hash of the gay Christinas lights, • .

We are all pleased with the gala holiday spirit here in East Haven for this 1946 Christmas season, Y es, we can truly be proud of our town this year. The lights are, in a way, a symbol of what our'boys fought for.

The llgh;s are now on agiun all over the World, But let us not forget, even for a minute, that tor some of our boys the lights will jiever go on again. The boys who died to make it possible, for Us to have our gay lights at Christmas time will never see these lights again, •

All too many are inclined to take our lights for granted. They probably have never been to the hospitals where those who served are blind, disabled and otherwise cut off from the cheer­ful world we know. They are thu.sc for .whom the lights have not gone on, ••

Public Meeting Arranged By P.T.A. Council

out in its eurreut i.ssue that shortly after tlie first of the year mer­chants and industrialists can expect, the annual visit of out-of-town outfits selling advertising in what is purported to be a directory. The presentation is usually made over the telephone or in person in such manner, the New Haven Chamber of Commerce states, that the busi­nessman believes he is renewing his advertisement in the city direc­tory or the cla.ssified section of the telephone directory. Obviously this is not the case and in most instances, there is neither inerchaiidis-ing nor goodwill value to the advertisements purcJiased, The direc­tory of one of these groups consists solely of a desk blotter circulated among those who advertise in it.

East Haven merchants and business people have found to their sorrow in the past that there are numerous advertising pitfalls into which they can throw their money. When asked to buy advertising or to contriljute to some cause or crusade, especially when the sell­ing voice is an appealing one over the telephone, it would always be wise to ask questions and think twice.

The East Haven Business A.s,sociation, although only a year old, has done a swell ,iob hi protecting not only its members.from the in­roads of our-of-town advertising schemes, but it has also pointed the way to many local organizations that participation in such plans, where most of the money-goes into the hands of tlie imported solioi-tor,s, is not mutally beneficial, AVe have heard dissatisfaction express­ed regarding some of the Bii'siuess association decisions regarding program and similar advertising, but feel that 'as time goes on both business men and general public will find the adopted policy the wise one.

• The East Haven Memorial and G,I, Welcome Home Committee has been duly organized, and has started planning lor a celebration to be held probably in the late spring of next year to ofRoially wel­come home the more than a thousand townsmeii who served in World AVar II, Each organization has been invited, either by letter or through the press, to bo represented on this committee, anr' it is to be hoped that at the meetings which will be held monthly from now on there will he a generalaiid enthusiastic response. It is fitting and proper,that this community should provide a suitable celebration and one.,whieh can be long remembered with pride and pleasure.

As one of its first acts Die committee has asked for an expression of ideas from the general public as to what form the celebration should take and what features should be included .in this welcome-liome to our boys. These ideas will be gone over at the meetings, dis­cussed, and out of the discussioiiii should come such an observance as will be momerable.

We hope that those who have ideas on the matter, especially the boys themselves, will nuike them knoivn to the committee. Many towns have already had affairs ot one kind or another to welcome their G,I,'s back to the liorae community. Here in East Haven we can profit by the experiences gained elsewhere. The main thing now is to get the ideas in, so if you have ony ideas on what you would like to see done as a part of this ofBcial welcome-home celebration, write a letter to the secretary of the Eflst Haven Memorial and G.l. Welcoirie Home Committee at the Town Hall.

By Fay Garvin Well, here I was! I stood in a

small corner absently tapping my linger on the window sill at my left Wouldn't she ever get here? It never occurred to me that I might be a little early. I watched the ever Increasing crowd shove through the doors to find seats at the Follies. Suddenly, I heard my name being called. I turned to find a strikngly beautiful woman, >the person I was to interview.

"Hello, Fay. I'm famished. Let's go get a bite to eat."

We found a seat In the restaur­ant and I found myself siting with Evelyn Chandler ot the Ice Follies, the greatest feminine skathig acrobat In the world, having lunch. Gosh, what a wonderful feeling.

In response to my questions of where she was born and how she fli;«t began skating, she said, "I was born in Brooklyn, Fay, and believe me when I tell you that I learned skating the hard way. At that time figure skating was a rarity and whenever I saw anyone doing a figure eight—why I thought it was the most marvelous thing ever and my parents would hear about 'the man down at the pond, ma. Gee, you should have seen him'—morn­ing, noon and night. I was eager and ready to learn but it was dis­couraging too. I had clamp skates and every time, never to fail, when because the English didn't

would come. It used to get me so mad smetlmes I thought I would sit right down and cry."

"One day it occurred to my parents that skating was also done inside the arena so they carted me down-town. It was there I met George Gimer who helped me a great deal v/lth my skating, I have always -found that people who really know how to do something never hesitate to give valuable ad­vice, and that was how I learned by good sound advice,

"What was your earliest ambi­tion? Was It to become a profes­sional skater?"

"Believe it or not. Fay, my ambi­tion was to become a teacher and I even started to college but Instead of ending up as a teacher I ended up, a wife, I married Bruce Mapes and later he skated with me, A few years previous to this I went In competition for the National Juniors Champinshlp and came in secnd. Determination and hard work with Mr, Reed, who helped me Immensely, led me on so that the foUowing year, In 1929, I won the National Junior Championship,"

"Did you travel—to foreign countries, I mean?" I querrled,

"I did go to England and brought my two little boys, Bruce and Jerry, who Incidently, are quite grown up now. Ice shows were very popular In England but my two boys were terribly disappointed

for racing. Just figure skating, Bruce, the oldest, was by far the most stubborn. While Jerry sub­mitted to figure skating, Bruce wouldn't, I let Bruce sit for a couple of hours to think it over while we went to the arena,"

"What happened?" I asked with Interest, , ,

"Bruce took up figure skating," she said with a smile.

"I understand that you have a little four year old girl. Tell me, does she enjoy the Ice Follies?"

"Oh, Susan loves the Follies but she is very shy of Dumbo, Susan likes to look at him but firom a distance. Every time he comes on she begs to be taken up a few scats higher,"

"What are your favorite hob­bies?" I quizzed.

"I'm crazy over horses. Go riding almost every day and I enjoy good music. At one time my husband had an orchestra."

"Lastly, what is your greatest desire?"

"To have a huge ranch In Coll-fornla;-wlth lots and lots of horses."

As everyone must work so must Evelyn Chandler and so a very pleasant interview came to a close.

Here's wishing a most wonder­ful woman continued success In the Follies. •
