ONE YOUTH WAS
KILLED IN CRASH
Bdgartown, Mass., Aug. 13—
(UP)—one youth was killed In
stantly and two companions were
critically injured when their auto
mobile skidded and crashed against
a house last midnight.
. The trio were returning to their
cottage here after a Ashing trip.
The driver, Archie Smith, 17, a
student at exclusive St. Mark's
school at Southboro, was killed.
Stuart Rhodes, 18, another stu
dent at St. Mark’s, was unconscious
at a hospital today. He reportedly
suffered a skull fracture and a
brain concussion.
Malcolm Muir, 18, of Bhort Hills,
N. N., a college student, suffered
a skull fracture and internal In
juries, but regained consciousness.
Names of both youths were on
the danger list.
The United States is expected to
be Nicaragua’s biggest coffee cus
tomer this year.
The national jamborie which was
to have brought together 30,000
Boy Scouts from all sections of the
country and from several United
States territories next week at
Washington, D. C„ has been defin
itely cancelled, authorities at the
local council office In the Brown
building said today.
It had been hoped that the pro
nouncement last week was only in
the nature of a postponement and
that the Jamboree would be held
later in the season after the infan
tile epidemic had been checked. An
outbreak of new cases in the sec
tion, however, has caused national
officials to completely abandon
plans for the huge encampment.
Hospitals Dismantled
The thousands of tents erected
within the sight of the Washing
ton monument will be taken down,
sewage disposal systems and com
missaries and hospitals will be
dismantled. Scouts from other
countries who had already arrived
in the national capital and others
who are on their way will be en
tertained at Washington as guests
of the national committee in order
to make up for the disappointment
of missing the Jamboree, while
plans are already in progress for
some sort of substitute observance
for the thousands of .boys who
comprised the Jamboree contin
gents of cities in every state of
the country.
Until further information Is re
ceived from national headquarters,
it Is not known what will be of
fered the local contingent in the
way of a substitute. The 32 mem
bers of the Waterbury troop were
given the latest news from Wash
ington today in letters from the
scoutmaster, Milton Hultman and
John Burrall, president.
Taking It Hard
According to Miss Charlotte
Henry, secretary at the local of
fice, the boys are deeply disap
pointed, and are by no means hes
itant in saying so.
"After looking forward to the
Jamboree for several months, it is
hard to make them see the un
doubted necessity for the cancella
tion,” she said. Miss Henry said
the opinion of the entire troop was
well illustrated the other day by
one of the lads who dropped in at
the council office.
"They can’t do that to us!" he
said.

Settlers’ Village Itemettes
Do mine eyes deceive me? Is that
it there?
If I sleep let my dreams he happy.
The age-old struggle for the com
mon fare
Of life, and attendant ills have
robbed me
Of the finer feelings, the artist’s
touch.
The beauty of life. But the feeling
That nothing new in this earthly
orb
Could prove so sane, so calm, so
healing,
Has been dispelled from my wordly
mind '■»
And I feel after all perhaps life is
kind.
With your white-washed wills and
low-thatched roof )
Tou bring me back the job's of
childhood.
For too long years I have held
aloof
From memory’s walks 'n the wild
wood
Of my native heath, and the stone
in the hearth
Where God deigned me the right of
birth.
You've recalled old scenes, old
times, old views,
You’ve brought back my youthful
vision.
Imbue that hillside with unselfish
love
And earn the reward that comes
from—Above.
If I miss the smoke of the old turf
fire
And the moo of the homing cow
It’s >too much to ask that life's en
tire
Hopes be filled in the wink of a
brow.
The colleens have danced upon
your green
To the strains of the tunes of their
race
And that is a sight, I hope, I ween
Memory shall never efface.
A toast to you from my soul’s
highest dream.
You seem somewhat noble, be what
you seem.
In good company there in an alien
soil
Chastened and broadened by sor
rows
Your next-door neighbors have felt
the toll
Of the pillage, the scaffold, the ar
rows
That tyrants used to gain their
power.
But now you are all within Lib
erty’s tower
Prove yourself worthy of the
higher ideals.
Your blood has oft flown to let
Freedom sway.
Your nature, your history, your
heart, appeals
For the liberties inherent to the

congressional election will not be

on Governor Curley and addressed
the state legislature here yester
day while enroute to Great Bar
rington to visit a college class
mate. He ascribed the election of
Charles F. Risk, republican, to a
consumers' revolt. "The Rhode Is

blow at the mismanaged New

It w.is conceived. You can't damn

he have a large family."
In regard to the proposed walk
out, credited in news dispatches
today as a “prediction by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor," Mr. Quinn
said he heard nothing from either
state or national headquarters of
the council.
The Federation of Labor is wag -
ing a determined battle to have all
WPA building and construction
projects be transferred to the
wages prevailing in each commun
ity.
In the states of New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, building
trades workers are refusing to
ers on WPA projects. It is claimed
that if workers accept the secur
ity wage on WPA projects they
will lose the prevailing rate of
pay when employed by private
contractors.
The security wage rates range
inthe various localities from ISO
to as high as 185 monthly. On
WPA projects, according to rec

wage rates will be paid.

An increase of 27 cases of
measles was noted by the state de

health authorities that the increase
in diphtheria deaths emphasizes
the necessity of continual effort to
protect children by means of toxoid
Immunization. Iufluenza was more
prevalent in 1935 and is believed
to have had much to do with the
Increased mortality credited to
broncho pneumonia. A slight in
crease was also noted in tubercu
losis mortality. The department
does not feel that the Increase in
cancer deaths 1b as yet serious. It
is expected that there will be at
least 2,000 cancer deaths when
1935 is completed. The department
is gratified with the reduction In
deaths dueto diarrhea in children
under 2 years of age.
