They have prevented the elec tion of Democrats, as representatives of the pepple of Greenwich, he said. Only one Democrat, I.V.H. GUI, had ever been elected to the town board, Mr. Starteri pointed out. That occurred in 1905.

The 'animals were apparently stolen ,over a ten day period. “ Zoning could be good and it could be bad, ” said Mr. Karp, noting that \each new regulation takes away another little bit of freedom.” On taxes, Nick ac knowledged the fact that they “ are hard to keep down,” but pledged to attempt to do so. Congressman Pattison followed up with- his remarks on government. Hé stressed the impor tance of freedom of choice, and urged voters to exercise that power: “Politics are not bad, although some politicans areb a d .. . we all ought to be involved in the political process. It is what dis tinguishes this nation from the others. We can differ.” “Apathy is only a thin crust,” said the congress man. “ We are a country that govemsjîseif. People don’t want leader# Who will govern them, they want someone who will help them govern them selves,” he concluded, Mayor S tarteri ad journed the program with a reminder for all in attendance to vote on November 8. “ And when the votes a re counted, ' * he predicted, \the Republi cans will weep, while the Democrats sweep!” S c a b i e s e p i d e m i c ?

According to - the doctor, the swapping of clothing is a major cause of communicating scabies., The illness is causedby parasitic mites. Dr. Young notes that “almost every fall there are some cases reported. ’ ’ He blames the sharing of clothing, and suggests that students refrain from that practice if they wish to escape the scabies. Anyone who d oesdetect , evidence of scabies would do'best to seek immediate attention, he adds.

Mr. Fitzpatrick empha sized the need for repre- . sentation of the village on the town board.

Introducing Mr. Karp, Mayor Starteri character ized him as “a real winner.” Mr. Karp ex pressed his hopes for a town board which would be “energetic, produc tive,” and responsive to the people.

Slowly, two engineers, one' on; either end of the bridge, directed the placement of the beam. ! o v e r C l e a r , c h i l l y A frosty Halloween closed out October.
