"Religion must be the source of fel

nearness of God to man. If it rouses
hatred and strife it is evident that
absence of religion is preferable and an
irreligious man better than one who pro
fesses it. Religion should be the cause of ’
love and agreement, a bond to unify alt
mankind, for it is a message of peace
and goodwill to man from God."

AN ALASKAN IN CONNECTICUT j
By CARRIE McLAIN
Indianapois, Indiana
March 17, 1958
It is almost a month to the day
since I left New York for Con
necticut and the snow is still
following me. The day before
I had arrived at the railroad
station 700 folks were stranded
there overnight, and not even
able to get a cup of coffee.
I was very much impressed
with Connecticut right from the
start for the beauty of its hills
and valleys and winding roads
and many brooks. It must be a
picture in the summer time. The
cousins I met here were on my
Mother’s side and whom I had
not seen in fifty-two years. It
was a real get-together meeting
their children and grandchild
ren and they were as interested
in my slides of Alaska as I was
in their colonial surroundings.
This is a great place for vaca
tionists, especially from New York
City. There are historical pla
ces of interest such as the little
red school-house that Nathan
Hale taught in in 1773, retained
just as it was at that period.
Everywhere you see the old homes
of narrow clap-boards and win
dows of small panes with twelve
to upper sash and twelve to lower.
Most of the shutters are green
or white but yellow, red, blue,
and black are seen on later built
houses. We visited a small ani
mal hospital where dogs and cats
also are cared for while their
owners are down in Florida. On
top of a hill, we saw the Gil
ette Castle, now a museum piece.
Wm. Gillette was a great actor,
having played Sherlock Holmes
on the stage, and a great trav
eler.
Stony Hedges
Something that took my eye was
the stone hedges or fences made
in colonial times to keep the cat
tle from wandering. Connecticut
has a great deal of stones and
the flat ones would be chosen
and laid so skillfully that many
of these fences remain so, today.
The drive to Norwich gave me
my first glance at some good
sized factories. The section made
me feel the atmosphere of the
18th century. A large factory
making rayon is closing unless
it takes over some other manufac
turer.
Going to Hartford, we passed
through small towns in the rich
Connecticut River Valley where
tobacco raising and truck farm
ing are principally handled. Be
fore you reach each town, there is
a sign stating when the town was
established-G-lastonbury for in
stance, in 1650. In East Hart
ford I was amazed at the ex
tent of the buildings and grounds
of the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft
Corp. Some 30,000 are employed
and thousands of cars are parked
on location. Nothing but plane
motors are made by this outfit.
For the thousands who migrate
to East Hartford to work in this
factory, during war years, the
government constructed the many
many homes. These are called
the projects and are easily detec
ted as such, as the houses are all
built alike but painted different
ly. There are even some city
owned and rented to the workers.
Toll Bridges
On the road to Hartford
you cross what is known as the
^Charter Oak” Bridge (histor
ical site) where a toll of 25c is
collected. In fact even a toll
of 10c is collected on most every
large bridge regardless of the
necessity of the toll: As you
near Hartford you see the one
big skyscraper—some insurance
company building and the yellow
dome of the state capitol gleams
in the distance. You take a sec
ond look at the peculiar dark
blue Turkish Mosque like dome
of a brick building once used by I
the Colt Revolver people. This
was presented to the company by
a Turkish Sultan for some revol
ver especially designed for him.
The capital building, used for
state, county and municipal gov
ernments is a very imposing one
with a sort of portal close-by,
reminding one of the medieval
portals or gates in German towns.
Hartford is a very old city and
so is Middletown Press that ser
vices most of these neighboring
towns for news.
Tfye big stores like $afe Way
on the Western Coast are A-P
(Atlantic-Pacific) and First Nat
ional. These are fast supplant
ing small businesses and are a
boon to the shopper.
On the way to Torrington, in
Western Connecticut, you drive
by the state institutions-the larg
est one to me, was the mental one.
What is classed as one of the rich
est towns in Connecticut is Litch
field where large Colonial homes
that were built by sea captains
flank one long street. One home
that looks as English as Shake
speare’s home and is reputed to
contain 129 rooms, recently sold
for $175,000.00.
Congregational Churches
The’ Congregational churches
seemed to have preference in the
Colonial days and one that was
built in East Haddam in 1796,
except for refurnishing, stands to
day as it was built. Your feeling
as you enter carries you back a
couple hundred years, for the,
architecture of the doors and
windows and the whole interior
painted white except for, the
blue dome in the middle showing
the stars as they were positioned
in the firmament at the time the
church was built. Each pew has
a little door and is nothing but
a hard bench with a straight back
so constructed so people would
not fall asleep during a long ser
vice. The galleries or balcon
ies were for the colored help.
The pipe organ and choir sit in
a loft ,in the rear of the church.
When the black-robed elderly
minister stepped forward on the
dias, I closed my eyes, imaging
myself back in Colonial times, j
However, these old buildings are j
costly to repair; the steeple of
the Christopher Wren type cost
$10,000 to strengthen and stabil
ize it.
It was here in Connecticut
where I saw the Town-Hall in
stead of our City Hall and Select
men, instead of Council-men are
elected. I would have made
the acquaintance of New England
town government had I been able
to stay longer.
I won’t have time to write about
Massachusetts in this letter so
shall send this on. My greet
ings to all in Nome.

Bartlett Asks
Shipping Firms To
Use Present Rates
WASHINGTON, UR— Delegate
Bartlett (D-Alaska) today asked
four Alaska-state shipping com
panies* to continue present freight
rates until the Maritime admin
istration has time to act on a re
quest for a 15 per cent general
increase.
The companies are Alaska
Steamship Co., Coastwise Line,
Garrison Fast Freight Inc., and
Alaska Freight Lines.
Each asked the Maritime ad
ministration last December for
a Hi per cent increase. The com
mission suspended the request
until April 2 but granted the car
riers an emergency IV2, per cent
interim increase.
Unless Maritime acts on the 15
per cent increase by April 2,
the carriers are free to put it in
to effect the following day.
In letters to the companies,
Bartlett noted the final day for
filing briefs has been advanced
until tomorrow. Because of this,
he said, it is “obvious” Maritime
could not reach a decision by the
April 2 deadline.

A long stay in the hospital can
strike a financial blow thdt may
take months, even years, from which
to recover. Fortunately, improved
medical techniques, quicker diagno
sis, and new drugs help get patients
home in record time these days. Av
erage' hospital stay has bf e
duced from 12.5 days in 1C'A +o
about 9 days now, according t-- tue
American Hospital Association.
Hospital services are improving
around the world, too, but costs h .
[gone up at. t e
same time. Oddly
enough, a recent
British survey
suggests that a
good way to re
duce hospital bills
is to use higher
priced medicine. A
writer in the Brit
ish Medical Jour
nal reported that “it costs . .. mere
to treat patients with a lot of cheap
medicines than with fewer expen
sive drugs.” According to a survey
of several hospitals in the Manches
ter area, “the hospital which spent
least on drugs and dressings had the
longest average stay (and thus the
biggest total medical bilt)per case.”
While new drugs such as antibi
otics and sulfas may cost more than
old-fashioned medicines, they can
quickly cure many diseases which
went unchecked a quarter-century
ago. Luckily for patients, many of
these drugs have come down in price
over the years. Penicillin, for ex
ample, sells today for only a frac
tion of the price at which it was
introduced, and the newer and more
powerful antibiotic Terramycin has
dropped too — by nearly 40 per cent
since 1950.
Better still, by using antibiotics
to stop diseases before they cause
serious trouble, physicians can often
treat diseases at home, saving pa
tients millions of dollars in hospital
bills every year. And they save
thousands of lives, too.
