All Up In The Air

The fiscal year beginning July will be a big one for the Aeronautics Branch of the De- partment of Commerce. Construction of 1000 miles of new airways. surveys of pro- posed airways, the installation of lighting and navigation equipment on various routes. and completion of work begun during the cur rent year are among the items on the govern ments program Much of this work will consist of tying up eross-country routes and connecting large industrial centers with more important airways.
 A special appropriation of S20,000 has been granted for a preliminary survey of the long proposed northwest airway connecting Chicago and the midwest with Seattle and the Puget Sound area. Airways under con sideration for the l932 program are San An tonio- Houston New Orleans. Dallas-Birming- ham. Minneapolis-C Canadian border. Amar- illo-St Louis, Chicago-La Cross, Poeatello Idaho) - Great Falls (Montana), Albany Canadian border, Dallas Nashville, and New Orleans-St Louis. It is proposed to establish 10 additional airways radio stations, 30 bea cons and 40 radio markers beaeons as we'll as ,4,400 miles of teletype communications systems.

Feelings Hurt

We rather imagined that the legislative disussion last week on the proposal to have the governor memorialize October l1th as Pulaski Day would arouse some hard feelings throughout the state. Of course. Polish resi- dents of New Britain were more concerned over the measure than were perhaps those in Waterbury or in other cities of the state. The bill was introduced by Representative Lucien Maciora. democrat of New Britain. It was rejected last week because the legislators con- sidered it bad precedent that would only give weight to similar demands for other days dedicated to Revolutionary heroes, etc.
 The manner in which the Legislature dis cussed and rejected the bill, however. struck us as rather curt and unfeeling. If we recall correctly in the House Representative Epa- plfoditus Peck of Bristol called attention to the fact that General Kazimir Pulaski only commanded 300 men in the Revolutionary War. A New Britain banker. Paul Nurczyk. af an indignation meeting Sunday night de- dared that Mir Peck was misinformed about Pulaski's activities in the Revolutionary War. It wasn't to that we referred but the statement in which Mir Nurczyk pointed out that in l775 300 men were fairly large force. although they might be mere handful in the recent World War.
 Furthermore, we learned that General Pulaski paid the men who served in his regi- nnent out of his own pockets and never re- lceived one cent compensation from the colonies. Of course, had he survived the war undoubt- Sd1v f11e new government would have recom- pensed him. But that is beside the point. He not only paid his own men but he drilled them in the rudiments of warfare and led them into battle. He is also said to be the father of the American cavalry according to MT Nurczyk which in itself is an honor that should be recognized in fitting manner. We aaree witt, the Polish residents of the state tlaat it is high time that fitting respect was paid to the great Pole who died in our cause.
 Connecticut is bit conservative in many ways, but 1t has never been said of her that che lacked in patriotism. If fifteen or sixteen states have seen fit to honor Pulaski, not to mention belated federal respect. then certainly Ccnnectieut could fall in line. Even if the state did establish this precedent it wouldn't he bad one. We can't pay too much honor ko those dead heroes who fought so bravely in the Revolutionary War. And since this is nation of many intermingling races we should not hesitate in an instance like the present. From the very beginning the Demo- crat contended that the bill to create Pulaski Day should pass, if not out of respect for the Polish patriot, then as mark of esteem for the large Polish population in the state.

What, No Cherry Tree?

George Washington did not chop down his fathers cherry tree. There wasn't any cherry tree. These two important historical facts have been announced by Representative Sol Bloom of New York. after conversation with an elderly lady, who as young girl had visited the Ferry farm where the chopping was supposed to have occurred. At that time. she asked to see the cherry trees, but was told by the family then on the farm that there were not and never had been such trees there.
 However. there are numerous cherry trees on the farm now. At the same lady's sugges tion. the family occupying the place planted some and sold the cherries in cans as products of the descendants of the actual tree chopped town by George Washington Representative Noon. who is director of the George Wash ngton Bicsntennial Commission is happy to stport that slI these trees wefe planted at ls3st Sxtv y<sxs after Nszhinasoa's boYhood

Modern Spring Tonic

Persons whose memories go back to the days of sulphur and molasses may think spring tonic has gone out of fashion. As matter of fact, we have an up-to-date substitute for the old vernal dosing which is so natural and pleasant that we don't know we're taking it. Dr Louis Staley of the Federal Bureau of Home Economics says fresh vegetables have supplanted the old-time remedy for spring fever se
 Fresh vegetables if they are not over cooked, will do everything the spring tonic was supposed to do. Incidentally, the custom of eating fresh vegetables all the year around keeps us in such good condition generally that we don't even think of spring tonics or any ancient need of them. So heres to the crispy salads, the spring onions and carrots and greens! Let us temper our yearning for the good old days with pleasure in the good new days of foodstuffs that are both delicious and healthful.

Exemption For Service Men

A recent measure vetoed by the Connecti- cut General Assembly focused attention up- on the fact that few states have recognized the right of their veterans to personal or property tax exemption, Take. for instance, this state. Today World War Veterans, that is. those who served in the United States service, are entitled to personal tax exemption and also property up to the amount of 1000. There are only six other states in the Union. as far as we can ascertain, which have similar statutes.
 These states are Arizona. New Mexico. California, Oklahoma. Wyoming and Rhode Island. The amount of exemption usually runs from $l,000 to S2000 of property valuation. In Oklahoma there is an exemp- tion of S200 taxes regardless of valuation. Tn one state only 60 days service is required; in New Mexico only 30 days. In this state the service men need only file his discharge riapers with the town clerk. Of course, he. must also state in his claim for exemption this reason.
 Coming back to our original statement we wonder how many service men noticed that the Legislature last week turned down the appeal of veterans who served in foreign armies dur ing the World war There aren't so many Connecticut men who were in Canadian, Brit ish or French service. but what the state could give them the same privileges that their fellow American soldiers are receiving today. In most instances Americans who were in other armies and didn't transfer when we entered the conflict have a longer service record than our own soldiers. The least the state could have done was to give them per sonal tax and property tax exemption.

Mexico Deports Us

It gives Americans curious feeling to learn that the Mexican government has decided to expel more than 1000 of our fellow-citizens who are residing illegally in that country. Most of them seem to have got into Mexico properly enough, by way of tourist permits. But they have overstayed their time. Probably "expeP isn't the word. In this country we call it "deport.'
 Mexico's action is inspired by our own zeal in the deportation of Mexicans along with other nationalities for illegal residence. We have right to do it. Mexico has right to do 1t. But in our zeal for national purifi- cation we seem to be running into unexpected difficulties. Isn't there some way of getting rid of undesirable aiients without inviting disagreeable retaliation?

Boys and Baseball

What, can it be true that the boys are los ing interest in baseball? It seems a terrible heresy against one of our most cherished insti- tutions. to even whisper such an idea. Yet the Federation of Boys Clubs says that base ball is losing its hold on the American Boy. In many places the boys are quitting the game, because of few places to play and cost of equipment.
 Boy baseball should be encouraged. There should be kid games in every neighborhood. Back yards should be opened to them, even if the ball does come into the kitchen window occasionally and hit the cat. Every neigh. borhood in Connecticut should have some playground or vacant lot where the boys can play the game that is the normal heritage of each youth reared under the stars and stripes
