An attempt is k'iny made to repair the damage immediately.

The manpower situation and the shortage of materials of this nature make the damage particularly at this time as it diverts labor and materials badly needed for war work. Members of the tin It' club are particularly disturbed due to the fact that they have lowered Green tu a bare making available tu tiie younger clement the facilities of the course. The police are being' asked to resume patrolling of the property in order that future lawlessness can be reduced to a minimum. The volunteer workers who are endeavoring to keep the course alive are particularly incensed at the action of these young' hoodlums in nullifying their efforts to improve this lung established course and retain it for future use of the large number of servicemen golfers whose return is anticipated in the near future. Tin's latest act of vandalism is DO YOU REMEMBER? Prom The Files of The News 20 Years Ago and Mrs.

Around the Clock one of manv only that such inisdemeMTioi have be-on committed here over of some months and is typical of other depredations reported in numerous communities, in Connecticut and other states. Persons who are shocked and saddened over the tendency of so many youngsters to damage destroy property are asking how much lunger this vandalism is likely to continue unchecked. They believe it is time in on; vigorous measures were taken to stop it.

Heretofore warnings and threats of punishment, special educational programs designed to make the vandals see the error of their -ways, and numerous other experiments to bring about needed reforms, have failed to accomplish their purpose. Now that the public's patience with the miscreants is well nigh exhausted, there appears to bo a growing sentiment Jn favor of adopting stronger disciplinary treatment of the culprits who seem to feel that they can do whatever they please Some students of the problem of juvenile delinquency are of the opinion that both the delinquents and their parents should be compelled to share in the punishment; that if the parents had to pay for damage done by their wayward find destructive children, they would exercise their parental authority much better than many of them do at present, find that the delinquents, finding such authority had actually been restored in the home, would begin to mend their ways. At any rate, the problem is one that must be solved for the most part in the home, if it is to be solved at all. When a determined and intelligent effort is made to master it there, we will be well on our way toward bringing about a rel'omi, the urgency of which is plainly apparent.

there any ex act scientific test to prove which is right? Yes, a method had been devised by some Navy from which I infer that it may bo important for the armed forces to know whether overweight men can really Ktnncl the gaff or not. It should be 'called the "Eureka test," because 'It goes right back to the description of our old friend Archimedes on about page 270 of Myers' Anciont History. For the benefit of those who have forgotten or who are so young they never had the cultural advantages of that inspiring text book, let me remind thorn that Archimedes was the ollleial scientist of Syracuse about 250 B. C. He was the government researcher for the tyrants of those parts, and on one occasion Heiron.

the tyrant pro tern, who was thinking of indulging' himself in a new crown, asked Archimedes to determine whether the. proffered article was pure gold or alloyed with silver. Specific Gmcity Test Offhand Archimedes didn't know of a way, but being a researcher he look his problems to his bath tub where he noticed that when Archimedes got in a certain amount of water slopped out. He realized that this was in accordance density, or specific gravity, and- that gold and silver would-displace different amounts'of water, so'he- did a nudist marathon to: palace crying "Eureka 1 1 upon which Heiron was very to him and gave him a eleah toga to go home in.

They said that was a swell, piece you wrote three weeks ago last Tuesday. They poured smooth, half hidden criticisms of Other vice presidential candidates into casual remarks about the weather.

The best V. P. story happens to be a true one. A certain Washington correspondent who continues to believe in Santa Glaus came rushing oIT the sleeper and ran into a southern senator who at the moment was but a southern senator to him and nothing more. Said the "I think, my boy, that you ought to know the president is cooling off a little on 'Henry ThercV a dark horse in the race now.
