cd their administrative and vote-get
ting ability. ,
Equally important, is the general
awareness that the Democratic can
didates have an enviable and appeal
ing record of public service. For in
stance, last year the Democratic ad
mnist ration reduced the tax rate to
Id mills. Then too, the City-wide ex
tension of the sanitary sewer system
a'one should be a compelling reason
for the support of the incumbent
candidates who inaugurated the pro
ject. In addition to the sewer pro
gram. the present administration
has installed new street lights, im
proved City highways, and has been
nstrumental in the rebuilding of
many new sidewalks.
In brief, one ardent supporter
said, The present administration has
devotedly worked for a better Put
nam."
John N. Dempsey, the Democratic
candidate to succeed himself for the
office of Mayor, has the longest rec
ord of service in the City Council
of any candidate. Mayor Dempsey
has served as Ward Alderman, Alder
I man-at-large, and as Mayor since
, last August. He is a graduate of
! Putnam High School and attended
I Providence College. He married the
} former Marv Frey and they have four
hildren. Prior to last August, he
I was closely associated with the pre
) vfous three-term Democratic Mayor,
Wdliam P. Barber, now Judge of the
t f'ity Court. Mayor Dempsey is also
a State Representative, having been
first elected to that office in Novem
ber 1948; and is held secretary for
Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, a mem
ber of Congress from the second con
gressional district.
In the short time Mr. Dempsey has
served as Mayor, he has demonstrated
his adaptability and fitness for the
office.
William J. Desaulnier, who be
came a member of the Common Coun
cil last August, is the Democratic
candidate for Alderman-at-large.
Mr. Desaulnier is a registered
pharmacist, who made his political
debut two years ago when he was
elected a member of the Putnam
Board of Education. He has a host of
friends and is considered a friendly
honest and capable office holder and
public servant.
The Mayor and the Alderman-at
large are the only members of the
Common Council in contested offices.
Democratic City Chairman, Israel
G. Frechette, today said: "The Demo
cratic candidates have wholeheartedly
earned the support of Putnam citi
zens and deserve to win. I believe
their majority will be decisiy-e."

NEW AUTOMATIC
LAUNDRY SERVICE
W!LL OPEN MONDAY
"The I.aundermat", first automatic ,
self-service laundry in this area, has
announced the grand opening date
will he Monday. December 5. It will
be located at 19 Furnace street in
Danielson, next to the American Le
gion Home and the Chamber of Com
merce public parking lot.
The proprietor of "The Launder
mat", Irv'ing Fetterman, has already
installed 15 automatic washing ma
ch nes, one extractor and a 40 lb.
drier. The machines operate auto
matically and the entire washing can
be done in 30 minutes.
Anyone who has even used an auto
matic laundry service needs no intro
duction to this convenient, time-sav
ing method of accomplishing an other
wise tedious job of washing and dry
ing clothes, getting them ready for
ironing.
The uninitiated will be amazed at
the simplicity of the arrangement.
Each person hr ngs his or her own
laundry to the Laundermat; puts
his or her own laundry into an auto
mat c washing machine in which
the water is completely changed not
! only for each new batch of laundry,
, but a'so several times during the
i process of washing one set of laun
'dry, namely, for the soaking period;
I the washing period; and the rinsing
! time. The clothes are next damp
dried, which makes some types of
clothes ready for ironing.
For clothes that must be thorough
ly dry before being ironed, the next
step wou d be putting the clothes
through an extractor, which is free
of charge, and which extracts a high
percentage of water before the clothes
are put into the drier from which
i they come out bone and fluff dry.
This is particularly noticeable in items
such as blankets and chenille bed
spreads and all articles of such a
nature.
The entire process would take 40
minutes for a 9 lb. bundle of washing
to be thoruoghly washed and dried.
The near proximity of the public
parking lot in Danielson, is a fea
ture, which will undoubtedly prove
a very important factor contributing
to the popularity of this new self
service automatic laundry.
Disregarding popular belief, the
World Book Encyclopedia tells us
that most octopuses are about the
size of a man's fist. However, this
creature has a horrible appearance
and the largest octopuses may reach
twenty feet from tip to tip of the
tentacles.

No Short Cuts !n Education
Airlines Maintenance Chief
Speaks to Tech Students
Modern educators wouid be among
the first to concede that the present
generation has made remarkable
strides in the never-ending <[ue*t for
short-cut methods which are efficient,
economicat of time and money, and
labor saving.
Advances in technologies) proces
ses and trave! are among the first
to come to mind where the saving
of time does not detract materiaiiy
from the quality of performance, and,
in fact, justifies the short cuts.
Who can, for a moment, experi
ence any nostaigia for the days of
the clipper ship, which required weeks
to span two continents, when today,
modern airiines can make of any
earth-bound mortat, a winged Mer
cury, who swoops in the space of eight
hours from New York to London.
Much as modern educators appiaud
such feats, they as vociferously con
demn a system whch attempts to
apply the short cut technique to
the education and training of the
maintenance chief, that vitai crux in
the whole scheme of air travel. Upon
his trade judgment and skiii rests
not only the lives of the passengers,
but those of the pitot and navigator
as well. Here everyone agrees there
can be no skimping and cutting of
corners and seeking after short cut
methods. We as Americans are no
toriously fond of iiving. and so, with
educators, we must concur in main
taining that in education there are
no easy and simple roadg to skit),
whether that skiii is t<. be displayed
by the carpenter, who bunds our
comfortable home or the maintenance
chief, who takes our iives into his
hands when he appi ves a piane for
an ocean crossing.
The faiiaey of sh ut ruts in edu
cation was admira''y demonstrated
to the aviation stud' tits and severai
members of the facutty of the Put
nam Technieai scimoi recentiy. On
that occasion, H. H. Kliis, director
at the schooi, introd t <<i to these stu
dents, Peter Sakeiiai h s, maintenance
chief for Pan American Airiines. Mr.
Sakellarides, who graduated from the
schooi's aircraft ctiurse in October,
1943, vis ted the school white on a
months vacation fiom his station of
duty in New Deihi, ituiia. He deait
a crushing biow to visionary youth,
not for its aspirations toward suc
cess, but for aspirat ons which do not!
have a sound basis in hard work,
study, and acquisition of skii] and.
"know how".
In an interesting account high
lighted by remin scences of two
years in Dakar, At ; lea, Mr. Sakella
rides reverted again and again to
the foliy of abandoning an educa
tion in mid-passage. The ephemeral
giamor of a remunerative job at
tracts too many young peopie today,
and the oniy reward for an education
cast aside haif-completed ties in the i
self-admin stered recriminatons which
iater years bring.
Curiousty enough, reported Mr.
Sakeiiarides, a targe percentage of aii i
Republicans
tCantinued from Page One)
years and since 1942 has heid execu
tive positions at the local ptant of
Belling Hepiinway Company. His
employment was interrupted for
twenty-eight months of service in the
United States Army, eighteen of
which were served overseas as a I
Sergeant in an Infantry Division
which took him through many of the {
major battle of World War II. He
is well known in all veterans' circles j
and he has been mainly responsible
for the advances made by the Forest-,
ers of America in fraternal life. Hon-!
est, ab'e and possessing integrity [
to the highest degree, he will cer-!
tainly impress the voters by his
pleasing personality, good manners
and especially by his reputation for;
getting things done. He is not with
out experience in city atfairs. He
has served as City Clerk for one term
and made an enviable record in that!
capacity.
r or Aiaei man-at-large, the Kepub-!
lican cand date is Waldo E. Chase,
a local merchant engaged in the print
ing business. A graduate of PHS and
a former student at Brown Univer-,
sity, Mr. Chase has been successful
in business since 1923. He has been
close to public atlairs and appreciates
and understands ad problems of a
j public nature. He has been repeatedly ,
reelected an assessor for a period of
I nine years. For two years, he was
^ Deputy Judge in the City Court. He
j aspires to be of service to his com
j munity as an aiderman-at-large and
his many associations, his past politi
cal successes and the enviable reputa
tion he enjoys as a leading business
man all combine to assure his elec
tion.
Among the ward aldermen, it is
noted that three of them are veterans
and this make-up of the ticket plus
the status of the candidate for Mayor
as a veteran should constitute a strong
appeal to the veterans. All but two
of the republican candidates are vet
erans.
The elimination of two contests and
the select on of the ticket with a
make-up of four veterans to one for
} the democratic party, bids fair to
attract a maximum of support for
these candidates and for the entire
republican ticket. The responsibility
of any political party is to present
: to the voters the best possible can
didates for contested offices and
without such candidates a party
cannot well expect to receive support.
The Republican Party is convinced
that its candidate for Mayor, be
cause of his background, will best
serve the interests of all of the peo
ple of the City of Putnam. Likewise,
Mr. Chase as candidate for alderman
at-large, because of his experience
in public affairs is better able to
administer this important office.
. Republicrfn voters are urged to go
to the polls and all voters are re
spectfully requested to consider the
superior qualifications of the republi
can candidates before casting their
votes, according to the Republican
City Committee, ehairmanned by
Frank B Stanton.
classes of people in India can speak
Hngtish with varying degrees of per
fection. This is diue largely to the
long years of British rale and influ
ence. Mr. HHis was presented with a
replica in miniature of the famed
Taj Mahal, the exquisite architecture
of which, Mr. Sakellarides remarked,
defies description. In concluding he
reaffirmed, his belief that the rogress
lie has made in his chosen occupation
was due in a large degree to his
determination and tenacity in pursu
ing the advantages which educat on
offers.
