DELANEY Of some men it is said that remain steadfast in their friendships in fair weather or Such’ a man was William F. Delaney, whose death occurred yesterday. Loyalty to friends with him was a religion and his loyal- ty did not waver with the expedien- cles of the moment, = From fits earliest days New Britain haa been a prolific mother 6f men who rise by their own efforts. Tt can truly be said that whatever advancement Mr. Delaney gained was due to his personal efforts, Born without the proverbial silver spoon, he decided early in his youth to go out and get one of his own. By industry and per- severance he succeeded in gaining an education in law and by turning that education to good advantage he rose to a high place in his profession. Standing before the bar of justice pleading for his client, Mr. Delaney was aggressive and tireless, He had contempt for petty legal points, al- ways proceeding along the lines that justice to humanity was the aim of court proceedings. It delight to observe his bold His favorite weapon was the broadsword; he held the rapier in mild contempt. Few men in New Britain have been s0 keenly interested in the moral and physical welfare of the city's youth as Mr, Delafiey was, He contributed liberally toward the success of high sehool track athleties by his advice and encouragement and the construc- tion of an athletic field at Wiilow Brook park was the culmination of one of his dreams for the promotion they foul. was a conduct, of outdoor mports, In polities Mr, Delaney was an as. tute leader, The democratic party, in 1ts infancy, looked to him for guid- ance and this he gave without stint, He was not so intensely partisan that he could not se the good in the other fellow but he was completely sold on the principles of the democratic party and his determination to win was eommensurate with his convictions on this point. e could he gracious In victory and In defeat his head was “bloody but unbowed.” Mr, Délaney was in demand as an after dinner speaker, belng quent, witty, forceful and interesting. As postmaster Mr, Delaney did his best, and that best is reflected in an improved morale among the working forces at the federal building and in the business like methods he inaugur- ated when he assumed office, New Britain ecan 11l afford to such men as William F. Delaney. lose EMITORS COMING HERE Raturday the spring meeting of the Conneetiont Editorial Association will be held In this city, a business meet- at The select- ing in the afterncon and a dinner the Burritt i thg of New the evening is organiza- nidening o8 Britain by tion s a sphere of this city, a of material, these eolumns The tion is ¢ Connecti omposed associated newspapers of th rise an charact te other tha A the American i NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD,‘MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1924, character, the American habit of thought and action.

And by what peculiar process of reasoning or interpretation does our neighbor get the idea they have discussed editorially Hartford polities, unless, indeed, it considers discussing the New Britain republi- can machine as touching upon matters which are distinctly Hartford's and not New Britain's affairs?

He declared that such practices soon lead to crime and that crime Jeads to prison, The quarters of the club were ‘packed with youngsters, when “Jimmy” was introduced by Dwight Skinner, director of the organization. Mr. Skinner described “Jimmy" as a man who has been in many prisons, The director told a little of the ex- convict's reputation in New York, and ended by declaring that “any man who at any time at any place becomes a trusty is a real man, “Jimmy"” spoke about mothers. “If you're on the level with mother, you'll never go wrong,” he declared. “I know you don't like preaching, so I'm not going to preach but just tell the facts,” He then enumerated his various steps toward erithe and told something of his punishment in re i formatories, Mr, Curran argued that shooting craps is one of the first steps towards serious offenses and warned the lads against being dishonest with their friends, Little was said about life in Jails but he drew a vivid picture of the death house at Sing Sing prison.

Polsons in his system, they swid, had infected and apparently de- stroyed the optic nerve. They advised an operation on the lone chance that the infection might be kept from other parts of the head, I'ollowing the operation, the pa- thnt's eyes were given an antiseptic treatment, and after three weeks the doctors held out hope for partial sight Last week Atwell observed shadowy forms moving about his hospital reom and knew that his sight bad in part returned.
