French Financier Admits Five>
YearPlan Success; Wants War

In the United States, France and
Germany the anti-Soviet war front
is being strengthened. A cable by
the International Press Correspon-
dence from Berlin to the Daily
Worker today says:
"Germania," official organ of the
Center Party, quotes an article by
the French journalist, Sauerwein,
published in "Matin," a leading
French newspaper, signaling the
danger of the Five Year Plan to
capitalism. The Five Year Plan is
being carried out by at least four
fifths, admits the French financial
expert, Parmentier. Sauerwein is
the mouthpiece of the French for
eign office and calls for a united
European front against the Soviet
Union. "Germania" supports the
call and reproaches capitalist firms

Birds Egging''

One of the favorite pursuits of the boys OF
former generation consisted of BIRDS
egqing''. Country boys used to make col
lections of such eggs and it was fascinating
game to make an excursion through the heldS
and groves and orchards and hunt for birds
nests. Many boys would spend about all their
spare time in this pursuit, tracking the birds
down to their most secretive and clevely con-
cealed retreats. 1t was with great sense OF
triumph that they found some of the less
easily discovered nests
They found many nests SO cleverly hidden
in the bushes or grasses, their color and form
would so closely approached to the surround
ings, that even the sharpest eyed kid could
not locate them
Many boys were very cruel in this pastlme
and would completely rob nest, taking every
egg They would keep one specimen tor
their collection. and then use the others as
trading stock at the birds egg exchange that
met down back of the barn. 1t was pltlful
to hear the plaintive chirpings of the bird
parents when their cherished little home was
thus rifled.
Some boys would take only one egg out of
a nest, thinking that the parents would never
miss the loss. But taking any of these eggs
was most miserable idea State laws gen
orally forbid it in these times, now that it is
realized that we depend upon bird life to pro-
tect the crops. Probably this old custom had
much TO do with the decline of bird life that
has been such damage to the country. Par
ents and teachers should tell their children
that robbing birds nest is about the meanest
kind of stealing, since the poor little birds
have no means of defense from such ruthless
attack Every school child should be taught
to protect the birds as their friends, and
shelter their little homes, and keep them sacred
from intrusion.

WEDNESDAY, JULY s, 1881
Another Moratorium

New Havens Board of Aldermen received
quite shock this week at their regular meet
ing when proposal was made that the board
60 on record as favorng two year moratori-
UNI on mortgages held by banks of the city
where the mortgage was unemployed and
unable to meet interest or principle payments.
The resolution was tabled and undoubtedly
will die natural DEATH although it may meet
with favor among other cities of the state
and be proposed in similar legislative bodies
There seems to be general movement towards
more lenieney in mortgage payments during
these hard times. We are we'll aware of the
situation here in Waterbury if we care to take
note of the increasing number of foreclosures
in the last year.
So However, we are more inclined TO agree
with State Bank Commissioner Bassett that
neither the state nor the municipality should
.legislate in this instance. 1t is matter for
the individual bank mortgage company to
decide for itself. The bank that lowers its in
terest rates too may be forced to also lower Its
interest rate on savings accounts. It's tick
lish issue and one that must be approached
cautiously. A number of Hartford banks
have found it possible to lower interest rates
on mortgages. Probably other banking inst-
tutions will follow example with all the sem
timent being in favor of it.
However, a two year moratorium is perhaps
more than the banks could stand and certainly
if the banks were asked to do this loan COM
panies would not be exempted. One institu-
ton cannot take the step and not the other.
The same idea holds good in giving the bene-
fit of two year moratorium to unemployed
and not to employed. Perhaps the latter class
would believe that they were entitled to as
much consideration as the former. They prob
ably find it as hard to pay their interest and
principle as do those without source of in
come. They are being asked not only to sup
port themselves and their families, but in most
instances the unemployed as well.

New York-St Calogero, patron
saint of Palermo, might be some
what surprised tt witness his hand
somely adorned shrine being carried
along Houston and Sullivan streets
to the blaring strains of the maine
Stein Song"
However, the transportation of
old world rituals to New York has
produced many an anonymously
Manhattanized product. Changing
the setting of typical Italian fiesta
to the cluttered, tenement-filled ave-
nues of the East Side involves a
complete surrender to surroundings
and revision of all traditions.
Thus, upon a recent evening, a
replica of the favored saint of New
York's Sicilian colony actually was
carried through highways, gayly
lighted by arches of red, white and
blue electric bulbs, while two bands
played the more popular march
songs.
1t was a night of sporadic show
ers. The shrine that was to con-
tain the saint adjoined a bakery
shop. The shrine was of vari-col :
ored bunting. Someone had placed
large bouquet on 1t.
Just across the street, tenements
that ordinarily present shabby fronts,
fire escapes and windows in which
blink reflected gas lamps now were
gay with lights and humans. Heads
prortuded over every window ledge
for a block or more. Fire escapes
suddenly became ringside seats at

Sea.Going Yep

The Graf Zeppelin has demonstrated that
it is sea-gong craft as we'll as an alrshlp.
In a test the other day it settled successfully
on the surface of Lake Constance, resting on
two small alright gondolas which had been
specially affixed under the control room and
the rear motor gondola.
sea anchor was thrown out. then mem
bers of the crew left the alrshlp in small col
lapsble rubber boats and padded around
while to show the possibility of leaving the
ship by this means in good weather. With
four motors running the Zeppelin rode on
the water distance of about mile. Then
water ballast was released and she rose easily
and returned to the hangar. The arshp had
been brought down in the first place by low
erng six tanks from the Zeppelin and filling
them with water.
The experiment was made with the pro-
posed Arctic flight in mind. IF we shoot
seal we can safely go down and bag him,
DIR Hugo Eckener suggests But sealing is
minor matter 1t is important to know that
the Zeppelin can light on the water, without
special water crew to assist. So far the
arship has had better fortune than the sub
marine Nautilus, but they may yet carry out
their program of meeting near the North Pole,
one emerging from the icy water and the
other dropping down out of the sky.

The Atlantic County Chapter of the
American Red Cross has received permission
from the New Jersey state highway commits
sion to establish five first aid stations along
White Horse Pike 60-mle stretch of road
which has the reputation of being the most
dangerous road in that state. The stations
are to be equipped and manned by the Red
Cross 10 take care of motorists needing first
aid. They will be located in suitable garages
or service stations at strategic points along the
road.
1t is doubtless fine thing to have lntell-
gent and skillful first aid work available in
case of accidents 1t is rather shocking
comment on traffic conditions, however, to
find such serious need existing. The road in
New Jersey isn't alone in needing this help,
either There are many known dangerous
stretches of highway in other parts of the
country where careless driving and poor trait
hc regulation have left bad record of motor
accidents and fatalities.
