East Haven Remains In G. O. P. Column
Foxon District, However, Is Captured By Democrats—Approximately 5,000 Kotes Are Oastr—Gerrish and Mrs„ Miller Returned to Legislature In Hartford,
Approximately Ave thousand voters, 200 of whom were soldiers whose ballots came by mall, signified their choice of candidates In the State and National Election Tuesday, and as usual East Haven stayed In the Republican column. A total of 2,159 East Haveners voted tor President Roosevelt for a fourth term while 2,481 favored Governor Dewey. Tl^cre were 34 votes for the Socialist candidate for president, Mr. Thomas, but 76 went on record for Bridgeport's Jasper McLevy tor governor.
Robert H. "Bob" Gerrish and Mrs. Charlotte Miller were returned to the General Assembly In Hartford. The total combined vote as shown in the number cast for Judge of Probate John L. Gilson who was unopposed was 4,611.
The election moved smoothly and
with Utile trouble under the capa-jble direction of James Malono, I Democrat who was chief modora-itor. The moderators In Momau-Buln and Foxon districts were Otto Bath and George Beckett, both Republicans. Although the Center and Momauguln districts went Republican the Foxon district gave a majority to the Democratic candidates.
Edgar Bacon and Alexander Dort an were appointed to cast the soldier and other absentee votes and the added burden on a heavy voting day delayed for nearly an hour after the closing of the polls, the opening of the machines.
Below Is given a break-down of the vote for the various candidates In the three voting districts as well as the total votes for each:

I hea rd somebody say last week t l iat th is guy acncrn l Knox whoever h e Is certainly romps right In where t h e angels Icar lo trend. Neighbors you ain't seen nothing yet. Wal t till I get going. I've been casting my peepers around this way and t h a t tor quite a while now and believe you me I've got a lot ot th ings to say when I get around to It. Now I don't mean t h a t wha t I say I hadn ' t ought to say, I t ' s jus t t h a t so many lolka think things they, don't have the nerve to come r ight out and sny. Now t h a t a in ' t the way with me. When I th ink something ought to be said I come r igh t out and say It. Ot course you don't have to agree with me If you don't want to. Everybody to his own taste as the old lady said when she kissed the cow. Well folks today I am going to take for my text the fence around the Orcen Lawn Cemetery In Tyler s treet or what there Is left ot It. Now t h a t fence Is something t'o be proud ot a in ' t It. I don' t know who's responsible but whoever is In my opinion ought to ge t busy jus t about as soon as materials and labor Is available. I t would be difter-pnt if Green Lawn Cemetery was away out In the wilderness somewhere but it ain't . I ts r ight In the middle of a residential area and why should the folks who live around t h a t section have to look out a t such a deplorable eyesore as t h a t fence h a s become. Now a few years ago they tell me after the late Lawyer Grove J . Tuttle died he left money for a fine new ga teway as a memorial to his folks. T h a t memorial gateway Is fine but It ought to bo supported by a fence tha t would do It justice. A nice white picket fence would be • all r ight seems to me. But anyth ing would be better t h a n the decrepit broken-down old fence t h a t tries to enclose the cemetery a t this wr i t ing. Let's hope somebody gets busy and takes care ot .this. So long till next week.

Noted Lecturer Giving Address
Under the Joint auspices of the Zionist Organizations of New Haven a Balfour Day Program will take place a t the Commercial High School auditorium. New Haven, Thursday evening, November 10 at a P.M.
Atj this time Pierre van Paasisen, internationally celebrated author and lecturer will be guest speaker. An invitation is extended to Branford and there w.ill be no admission charge.
Pierre Van Paassen was born at Gorcum, Holland, in 1805, ot a family that Included a long line of clergymen on both sides. He was educated at the Erasmlan Gymnasium In Rotterdam. As a youth in his middle teens he emigrated to Canada with his family. He served in the first world war as a volunteer with the, Canadian Expeditionary Force, and participated in the campaign in France.
On his re turn to Canada he became a reporter for the Toronto Globe, then feature writer. From Toronto he went to Atlanta, Ga., where he was an editorial writer and reporter for The Constitution. Then he was called to New York by the publishers of the late New York Worker, and al ter a short period In the metropolitan area he was sent to Europe as a feature writer and roving correspondent tor the Evening World.
Among his Journalistic scoops in Europe was tlie announcement of the termination ol the Roman question six months before the reconciliation between the I tal ian State and tlie Vatican became an accomplished tact. Ho was the personal guest of Signer Mussolini for three weeks, and toured the country of Fascism in the company ot the Duce's brother Arnaldo.
In addition to crossing and re-crosslng Germany since the Hitler regime cwnelnto power, Pierre van Paassen visited the Soviet Union several times. He was with the Ethiopian forces in the resistance against Italy, and in Spain after the outbreak ot the civil' war there.
It is his experience in Europe between wars that P.lerre van Paassen described In Days ot Our Years, which was published • in January 1939. I n the fall of 1940 van Paassen added three chapters dealing With the present | .war, for
READING & WRITING
JL he first two white women to cross the Rocky Mountains, and thus insure themselves undying fame in the annals of American history, were Narclssa Prentiss Whitman and Eliza Hart Spalding.
They were alike only in that they both were intent on bringing the Gospel to the poor benighted Indians. Narcissa was blonde, beautiful and high-spirited. Today slie might be called a glamour girl. Eliza was plain, less brilliant, but had a' more steady temperament.
These ate two of the pioneer women whose stories Nancy Wilson Ross tells in her book, "Westward the Women." You'll read here also of Bcthenia Owens, an ex-milliner who became a doctor, and who, in spite of scandal and opprobium, performed the first m.ilc autopsy ever done by a
NANCY WILSON noss ^,^^^^^, ^f .^^ gentle Belgian nuns who braved the terrors of ciic unknown to go to Oregon and teach needlework and litnnics to the "children of the forest"; of Sacajawca, the Shoshone Indian girl who acted as guide to the l.ewi.s and Clark Expedition. There were almost no hardships which these women, and others like them, did not Icirn to endure.
Women were scarce in the Far West in those days. Many eager men, anxious to escape the stigma of being labelled a "bachelor," thought nothing of riding their ponies right up to the doors of respectable Portland houses, remaining on their saddles, rapping on the door with a stick, until the housewife appeared. "Goocl morning to you, ma'am, arc you married?" they would ask. If the reply was yes they i tipped their hats and rode on. If it was no they immediately proposed.

An Objective View By GEORGE S.BENSON
Fresident of Harding College Soarcy. Arkansas
:m: IT IS most rogrcltable I think when persons in positions of honor inside the field of education lay hold of false standards and set them up as essential principles. The allegation, fori example, that a teacher ought never to have a fixed opinion is one that I resent. Can it be true that a man'.s ability to make up his mind proves .him unsuited to instruct others?
Few higher compliments, can bo paid a man than to say he has ;an open mind. It is a joy to meet people of perfectly clear mental vision, persons not blinded by prejudices, men and women who don't get warped and lop-sided views with new ideas. The right approach in thinking about anything is an .honest wish to find facts, measure them and accept them for what they are worth. Academic ON THE other hand, Attitude refusing to accept a
fact when you see it is worse than not seeing it. There are mental giants who aro moral cowards, no doubt, but don't let anybody tell you it is necessary. Intellect and shilly-shally do not have to go hand-in-hand. Hostility to the truth marks a nit-wit, certainly, but indifference to the tnith produces the same result — nothing
Recently I addressed an audience well salted with men of my own calling; teachers, school executives and men of degree in formal education. I talked about things I believe in, such as constitutional government, Umf/s made by representatives of the people, free speech, unshackled ffiith, and
open competition. After the meeting one of the educators told me I was not objective, did not have an open mind.
Need Fixed HK WAS ashamed Principles of me for having
convictions. What a spectacle I was in his eyes, a college president with my mind made up. I spoke of representative, constitutional government as better than state socialism. I defended man's' right to own proj)* erty, to create ,ind operate a business with a hope of profit, as better than government management of industry. "If wc lose these principles," I said, "we will drift to lower standards, surely as water seeks its level."
These are facts. Experts in political economy can prove them to any open-minded listener. Or a student can travel the Earth and see for himself as I did. Where does labor get the highest wages? Where does agriculture enjoy the highest living standards? It is in America, only in America. The reason is our system, not just our resources or our people. These facts need to be taught.
Europe's outcast philosophies, wrong as they are, make progress in America. Why? Because too many of our young men leave college believing they must have an objective attitude toward every-thing. They get no firmness of purpose at school. In my opinion It is high time educators get some fixed principles on vital matters like government, mor&U and religion.

Seventy-seven split ballots were accepted, while twenty-seven were rejected for Irregularities.

LET'nSH FROM A STRANGER Today my neighbor came In with
n. letter fiom her boy. Ju s t yesterday, it seems to me, I'd see Mike's, red head at least twice ,a' day going by my window. Always munching an apple, with a football or a pair of skates — occasionally a school book — in one arm.
"X dont mind the combalj stuff," ho wrote, "but who wants to practice? So Car we have 15 missions to our credit. We nced^ 50 Jn this theater .
" I have flown over Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Yugoslavia, Roumanla, Hungary, Albania, Greece and Franco. Homo has them all stopped I
"The flying Is very tiring, as
But thinking about Mike h a s left mo with the curious sense t h a t h u man beings are s t rangers to me. I don't unders tand a t all how they work!
Because the Mike I know couldn' t bo flying ovor all those places. He couldn't be so brave or so wise.
The Mike I know will be 20-on his next bir thday.
Children under the direction of their teachers will par t ic ipate in Book Week activities.
Arnold Schlocmann, Louis Mar-rone, and Ralph Marrorle have each received the promotion from Pfc. to" Corporal in their part icular branch of the service.
they're long tr ips (eight-nine hours) a t high alt i tudes. Arid when I get back I 'm starving. Otherwise. I 'm well."
Otherwise he's well! Is this a letter from a battlefront or a summer camv)?
Mike's Jaunty letter h a s given me a strange feeling—almost a feeling of awe. Wliat really goes on behind those disarmlngly frank eyes? Is every deadly mission ac tu-aily a boy's game, from which you race home "starving"? Or Is all th i s gay, impatient talk calculated to fool his mother?
What Is Mike feeling as he s ta r t s out on his twentieth mission? Per haps his mother knows. Her ha i r has turned white.
Reservations should bo made with Mrs. John Ross for the h a r vest supper to be given by the Women's Auxiliary of t h e Church of Christ, Stony Creek, on Thursday, NovombcrlO. There will be two servings, one a t 0 and the other a t 0:30 o'clock.

Horiicy McKenna writing of Bran^ Herald says, "The epitome of in ford's "Tot" Owens in the Boston formal football was read ied at Fenway Park yesterday before a slim crowd of 0500 when a pair of third string backs, Bow Owens of Branford, and Tom Carney of Laurence high-l ighted a two. touch down, third-period rally tha t car rled Boston College to a thrilling 10-12 victory over Syracuse University . . . Tlie next time the Eagles got the ball, Owens flipped another pass for a 20 yard gain . . . Until Owens, a typical sparltplug, was inserted t h e Eagles were being outplayed by their capable rugged foes i . . Owen.s accounted for 04 yards himself . . .

Since Bob Lancaster told us t h a t he had a system tor fishing v/hero-by he tied his line to a span of the bridge and never botliored unt i l lie felt the bridge shake, our County Commissioners investigated and have discovered tha t ' t h e bridge has been pulled out of line unti l it almost forms a crescent and they have notified him tha t he mus t stop making such use of the bridge or they will be compelled to make him pay tlio cost of Its repair; "But," says Bob, "all I need do Is to flsh from the o ther side and draw the bridge back Into line."

Now General , I am well acquainted with a pas t member of the Board of Trustees of the Green Lawn Cemetery Association, and he agrees with me tha t It Isn't a l together the fences fault for looking as It does or altogether the youngsters fault who frequent this hallowed spot, but rather he believes with me tha t It lies with the training of those children.
I happen to know tha t this association has a fence fund on its books. At this time the amount in this fund happens to be very small, .so should anyone be moved to contribute to this fund, I am very sure the trustees would greatly appreciate their donation, and should the fund grow to the full cost of building "a little white fence" be

Most of our personalt ies subjccU thus tar have been men or women. Well known and active for long periods of lime in th i s community. This week we depar t from this custom and Introduce a man , a newcomer, comparatively unknown to East Haveners, yet one who has built an enviable recprd In the city from whence ho came. Although
j living In East Haven not much more than a year. James C. Moody who with his wife, resides a t 65 Martin road. In one of the charming now homos of the Riverside Development, has bocoine endeared to a growing circle of friends.
On April 1, 1942, Mr. Moody retired after 52 years In the teaching profession. At tha t t ime he was head of the Moody Secretarial School In New Britain, an Institution he had founded 15 years earllec.
One of the best known educators In the famed Hardware City, Mr. Moody had gone to New Britain In 1902 to become head of the commercial depa r tmen t In t h a t city's Senior High School. He was a factor In the development of t ha t school with which he spent a quarter of a century. I n tha t period he rose to the post of vice principal. Upon leaving the public school post ho founded the Secretarial Institution which bears his name. In his years as teacher and adviser, he has furnished t h e , Inspiration tor many young men and women seeking their place in the big world of business and many of those whom he counselled and t a u g h t now occupy responsible positions In the commercial life of t h a t city and other par ts of Connect icut .
Betora,going to New Bri ta in , Mr. Moodyhad'taUglirin/'Vfraft?, Chlco-poe and Springfield, Mass.
Mr. Moody recalls t h a t his a p pointment to the faculty of the Now Britain Senior High school, as an instructor of _ penmanship , climaxed a controversy which raged for several mon ths between exponents- of s lant and straight writing. In the end the typewriter put an end to the 'controversy. For the flrst two years he was employed on a par t - t ime basis, but ,hls zeal and Interest In young people won for him the direction of. the commercial depa r tmen t on a full t ime schedule. At t h a t l ime he had the a.sslstance of one teacher only but on re t i rement from public school life 25 years later the depar tment was stal led by ten teachers so great had the expansion been.
In 1923 Mr. Moody gained s ta tewide recognition when he was elected president of the Connecticut Business Educators ' Association. Many of his s tuden t s became highly proficient and some of them won state championships In stenography and typing.
Since coming lo East Haven the Moody's have taken an Interest In many civic activities. They have become taxpayers and voting residents of the town and are otherwise participating In community life, being a t t endan t s a t the Old Stone church. This was only na t ural because In New Bri tain Mr. Moody had wide civic, fraternal and social Interests. He was a char ter member there of the\ Chamber of Commerce. He served as president of t h e New England High School Teachers club and of the New Britain Teachers Club as well as president of the New Brit-

Members of the Harry R. Bar t -lett Post, No. 80 of the American Legion and the auxiliary at tended Armistice and Pence Day services In the Old Stone church, Sunday morning. Special music was sung by the Junior Choir' directed by Mrs. Carl Rosenqulst and the In termediate choir, directed by Miss Dorothy Evarts, and Mr. Nathan Downs, orpanlst.
"What arc the Conditions of Permanent Armistice?" was sermon topic of the Rev. William' G. West, the minister of the church Ho assorted that Armistice 1018 Is meaningless opar t from a future armistice In 1045 or 1040. "When the end of conflict does come, wo shall have an armistice, sha l l It bo temporary lasting only until defeated powers can form another coalition to. send armies out again In a fanatical a t t empt to conquer the world? Or shall It bo permanent In the sense of being more than an Interlude? The present situation reminds me of wha t my uncle used t odo on his farm In Maryland. Ho worked the horses In tho heat of tho day, but occasionally would call a hal t for wha t he termed a "breathing spell." Tho horses didn' t stop working; they simply rested so they could later continue working. Tha t ' s wha t na tions do.
