Christmas, 1955 I see n bright star twinkling

In the fnr blue sky above. It Just shines and smiles

upon me, But speaks no word of love.

The night is chill and lonely As I wander on. my way.

It is silent all about mo, And I wonder why I slay.

Have you finished your last minute shopping? It Isn't worth the few cents you save to travel to New Haven in this rush per­iod, (although I hear they have a- wonderful Santa Glaus at Sears in Hamden). Tho stores here in town have wonder­ful gift s(5!ections to fit the fussiest person onj-our Christ­mas list. Every store In town, loo numerous to mention, has many lovely gift Ideas. Visit them all.

Personalities Build Biggest Story Of ''55

Five political personalilics captured the Umellght during 1955 on the local scene, taking part in the swirling cross­currents of the town's torrent of politics lo put together East Haven*s big story of 1955 . ,

Fur Ww: pasl fow clcH^Uoiis town politics have Icnncd lownrdFrnnk . . oUlicrBnrker or Clancy. As the ycnr stnrlctl Frank S; Clnncy wns tlie town's expeilGuced, suc-cessfvil rirst sclcclninn nnd Frank A. Bn(;kor, third selectman, wn.s hi.s GOP counterp'arl. Both want­ed nomination and, from early reports, the two were CNpccled to carry the standards of Iholv ros-pocUvc parlies In the October eleclton.s.

Evklenliy, both wonl Into train­ing early expeclUig to battle each other.

East Haven's two town chair­men, however, gazed Into differ-enl directions, Mathew Anasta.slo .fining up with,several alternate candidates and Democratic Chair­man James Gartland settling on second KOleclmnn Dominlck H. Fcrrai'a. In the Republlcon camp Gcofgo McManus, Harold Mall and Ilctniun Ilackbarlh wore a-moiig Uiose considered as replace­ments for Barker at the head ot the ticket.

• Apparently, the number of op-pononls helped Barker to win his way to the nomination, wlUi .supporters of other candidatfes rallying for and against^ Anasta-slo in the" rinfll'*biJLtlle'*' belwcen' Barker and McManus. .:,,, ...

Fi'ank Baj'kor -won out, but Frank Clnncy faced a more con­solidated foe. James Gartland had one candidate and with single purposG lined np his forces lo, nominate Doinlhlck Ferrara, long lime proprietor of the East Ha­ven Green Gnrage, and a veteran of one term on the board of se­lectman. In a biltei* showdown Clancy was sidelined in favor of FeiTara.

Came the October elections and many were sui*prised to see Fer­rara win oui as the Democrats swept the town. Frank Barker .staled soon after election that he would never run for office again and blamed sevei*al members of Ihe Republican town committee for "actively working against liim," ,

As the Democrats reorganized behind their winner they-'coiild-n't refrain from •. needling the Clancy supporters-;'.byassiiUing their party's prcvlpug'arijjnfnlstra-tion. That cut deeply';on^the Clancy side and. his : supporter's; have organized and Incorporated; llle En.sl Haven .DemDcratlc, As-? soclalion, quietly mustering forc­es for a future showdown..

Meanwhile, Frank Barker, lime and again has lashed'out at the new administration, calling for public censure with every step the new officeholders lake.

While Barker's renomlnatlon was supposed'tj_6 shake Anostn.sio out of his poslUbn-os Kepublican Town Chairman, ."Little Matty" is holding on with enough grasp to get a town comhilttee state­ment lo mildly rebu"ke Baj'ker, while not mentioning rj'ames. •

On the other side "of the fence James Gai'Uand Is faaifd at work stirring up public interest in juvenile deUnquehdy, which, while it may be sincere, also,, helps to riolract from the public's Interest in what Barker and the Clancy supporters have to say.' ^

While insiders report Gartland is keeping a tight rein on, the admlni.stratlon, there arc rumb-lings to show Clancy has not been forgotten. Loudest rumble Is on the Board of Education, where rpKifitered Democrats outnumber Hepublicans six to three, yet by factional strength Is organized undor a coalition of Clancy Dem­ocrats and Republicans, leaving thf? town .administration out In the cold as far as the school sys­tem Is concerned.

As of now,-the town .has two panics In the- open and on the 1 •'lUi i>iii in •i.'*ntlment there are

IHutJicw Anusta-iio about four paitlei-Uj.S.

The night is chill and lonely As I wander on, my way,

It Is silent all about me. And I wonder why I slay.

Just beyond I soon discover There arb shepherds in

the Held, And by light ot siai-s are

watching. Their sheep and lambs to

shield.

I heoir an angel singing, O hark! How sweet the song.

From beyond tho stars I hear him.

And I'm breathless with .alarm.

"Fear not"—so sang the' angel, "To you this day Is born—"

And the sky is filled with .angels

Singing the self-same song,

"Is 'born to you a Saviour. A Saviour, Christ the liord."

I ,hear the gold harps ringing, And bells all In accord.

And organ tones, deep rolling. Make rich the glorious song.

Sung by a choir of angels On that happy Christmas

morn.

O pause, my goul, and worship In the lowly cattle shed,

Wheure the Chrlsl-Chlld smiles and gurgles,

And the star shines overhead.

The holy time is here again, And because ot that dear

Child. The chorus of the angels

Still echoes soft and mild.

And other voices catch the tones. And other organs roll.

And we're here, tonight to honor One music-loving soul.

For forty years, they tell me. She has served this church

so well. Words can't express our

gratitude. To our one and only Nell.

Wednesday the new apparatus truck and firemen responded to a house-garage fire on Harbor Street. A '49 Ford had Its com­plete Interior gutted. Holes had to be chopped in the roof of the building in order to get at the flames. The cause of the fire Is still unknown.

Have you finished your last minute shopping? It Lin't worth the few cents you save to travel to New Mavon In this rush perr iod, (although I hear they have a- wonderful Santa Claus at Scars in Hamden). The stores here In town have wonder­ful gift seilecllons to fit the fus.slest person on'jTOur Chrlst-nia.i list. Evei*y store In town, too numerous to mention, has many lovely gift ideas. Visit them nil.

Personalities Build Biggest Story Of '55

Five political personalities captured the limelight during 1955 on the local scene, taking part in the swirling cross­currents of the town's torrent of politics lo put together East Haven's big story of 1955 . ,

For tho pnst Tew elections town politics Imvo leaned toward Frnnk . . eilhof Btii'kcr or Clancy. As Iho ycnr storied Frnnk S. Clnnc.v wns tlie town's experienced, suc-cesslul first, selectman nnd Frnnk A. Bn^'kor, tlilrd seloctnmn, was his GOP counterpflrl. Both want­ed nomination nnd, from early reports, the two were expected to carry tlie standards of their res­pective parlies in the October cloclions.

Evidently, both went into train­ing early expecting lo battle each other.

East Haven's Iwo town chair­men, however, gazed Into differ­ent directions, Malhew Annstnsio coming up with several alternnle candidates and Democratic Chair­man James Gartland sellUng on second selectman Dominlck II. Kerrarn. In the Republican camp Gonrge McManus, Harold Mall and lleiman llackbarth weie a-inong those consideied asieplacc-nionts for Barker at the head ot the ticket.

Appaicntly, the number of op­ponents helped Barker to win Ills wny to the nomination, with supporters of other candidates rallying for ohd aganist Ana«JtR-slo in the final'"batlle"'between' Barker and McManus.

Frank Barker won out, but Frank Clancy faced a more con­solidated foe. James Garllandhad one candidate and with single purpose lined up his forces to nominate Dominlck Ferrnra, long time proprietor of the East Ha­ven Green Garage, and a veteran of one term on the board of se­lectman. In a bitter showdown Clancy was sidelined in favor of Ferrara.

Cnnie the October elections and many were sui-prised to see Fer­rara win out as (he Democrats swept the town. Frank Barker stated soon after election that he would never run for office again and blamed several members of the Republican town committee for "actuely woikmg against him,"

As tho Democrats .reorganized behind i\\f\v w'nnei" they could­n't refrain from,, needling Jhe Clancy siippotlors by a^isalllng Ihoh' pal ty's pieviouq admlnlstro-tion. That cut deeply on the Clancy side and his siipporlehs have oigani/ed and incorporated' the East Ilnven Demociallc As­sociation, ((uletly musteclng forc-o.H for a future showdown.

MeanwhUe, Fiank Barker, time and again has lashed out at-the new administration, calling lor public censure with every step the new officeholders lake.

While Barker's renominution was supposed to shake Anaslaslo out of hli» position as Republican

I 'I'own Chairman, ,"LJtlle Matty" Is holding on with enough grasp to gel a town committee state­ment to mildly rebuke Barker, while not mfentloning r>ames.

On the other side of the lence James Gartland is hai^d'at work stirring up public interest in juvenile delinquency, which, while it may be imcere, also helps to rlclraci fiom the public's interest in what Baiker and the Clancy supporters haye to say.

While insiders report Gartlapd is keepuig a light rein on the ndmin'sti'ntion, there are ruhib-ling.s to show Clancy has not been forgotten Loudest rumble Is on the Board of Education, where rpgislered Democrats outnumber Repiihln uns six to three, yet by factional sliength is organized under a coalition of Clancy Dem­ocrats and Republicans, leaving the tow-Ti administration out In iho cojd as far as the school sys­tem Is concerned.

A.s of now,'the town-has two parties in the open and on the iKillut. iniJ in s^inlhnpnt there are
