Editors note. When Amer ica was young her frontiers bred large families because they were necessary. Now America has become "citified," and families are becoming smaller. What this means is disclosed in this, the second of three articles, showing how America will likely have stationary population in 1960.)

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-03-02
Quigley Is Encouraged

Mayor George A. Quigley of New Bri- tain is quoted as saying he is encouraged at the attitude Governor Cross has adopted towards recent actions of the New Britain Common Council relative to special seS- sion of the Legislature. At the behest of Mayor Quigley the Council on February l7. despite democratic opposition. went on record as favoring legislative session to dis cuss the present economic situation and to enact. if at all possible. measures to relieve municipal finances which are admittedly in poor condition throughout the state.
 Of course the entire procedure IS gradual ly becoming more or less of personal mat ter with Mayor Quigley. When he orig inally came out for tax reforms he met with enthusiastic support. Doubtless he will continue to receive it as long as he con- fines his activities to the recently organized Connecticut Municipal League. but as soon as politics begins to play part in the issue it loses its force. Recent events seem to show that the New Britain executive might have displayed more activity last year in the interest of the same idea had he so desired.
 Governor Cross il may be recalled, spoke for tax reforms in his inaugural address. Democratic Minority Leader Citron also pre- senied measure calling for survey of mus nieipsl and state finances with the hope of providing additional means of revenue. but received merely the support of the demo- cratic members of the Legislature. There was no great demand from towns and cities for any study of the situation. such as Mayor Quigley evoked last fall and which resulted in formation of league to conduct lbe same survey that commission named by the Legislature would have done,
 All of ns gre fonyineed that real estate is beating more than iIs fair share Of lhs tax burden today lt Is high lims tbar ibe state and lb esssf branches sssed lbe burden of ths property owner. li Is high time ibsi ihe state regarded certain fields into which it has not psnsifaisd but which offer form ol revenue ihaf might be incorporated into any fasafion sfhems. There should be sn investigation and dissHssion Of ihs same. aoI merely by public officials bui by ssiusl

COUNTRY DOCTOR ENCOUNTERS WATER
 ON THE KNEE

| Two weeks ago a boy aged 12 bumped his
 His ma says she showed the bump to the vl- lage doctor at once, and the doctor said 1t was
 deep flesh bruise and instructed her 10 ap- ply cold wet cloths Later she took him to
 the doctor again and this time the doctor gave
 her something to rub on It, so-

 so, the mother goes on with the history.
 we took him back the third time You see tho salve worked just right-and thls time Dr Jekyl was submerged and Mir
 Hyde was taking care of the practice, sort of
 a locum tenens, as we might say If this were

 told us our boy had good chance of Q stiff knee. He said to take him home and put him to bed and put on plasters of mud for or 5 days

 fore the assurance of the affable travelling | salesman with the attractive little souvenirs
 and pretty picture books that smear of the nostrum applied hot and thick will cure
 whatever the victim happens to have, from "incipient pulmonary tuberculosis to such trifiing complaints as water on the knee. l | reckon our correspondent has found the clas-
 scal village doctor of fiction. l didn't believe he really existed.
 --and if that didn't relieve the swelling he
 would have to be taken to the hospital and nave the knee operated on.
 What the boys mother wants to know is whether there is no way of preventing stiff
 knee, and do think it is all right to let a small town surgeon operate. The doctor says the knee is filling with water .. What of 1t? That is the natural course of such an injury. Small town surgeons are quite
 as skillful and often more considerate of the patients and familys welfare than are the over advertised operators in the big town. But warn this mother not to let that asinine vil- lage doctor have anything to say about an op- aratiOn. referred trum makers.
 That western mud is just effective in any case as mud from up north or back east would be if applied in similar fashion and mixed
 with similar quantity of glycerin and pleas ant scents We can't wonder at the gulblity of the laity about such glorified mud poultices, but when physicians resort to such hocus- pocus in cases where they wish to procure the
 effects of moist heat, they're betraying their patients and their profession too. As rule with few exceptions water the
 knee in young person requires no surgery.
 Just sufficient rest in suitable spnt or other | supporting dressing to prevent motion of the joint.

Although the Yale Daily News some time ago decided that Assessor Conlan of West Haven was apt to lose his office because he actually figured on collecting some taxes from the Yale University for property in West Haven it begins to look as if Mir Con Ian might have the last laugh. The prop erty, part of the Yale golf course and the baseball field. were assessed for S60.000. It was assessed because the town declared the property had shown an income of $28, 900 last year which automatically removes it from the non taxable list. The only resort for the university is an appeal to the su- perior court. There is growing opinion that much tax free property is actually in- come producing.

We're inclined to think that both demo- crats and republicans in Congress are be- coming too worked up over the coming presidential nominations and elections. Charges and counter charges are flying back and forth so rapidly today that it is hard to keep them separated. When the 72nd Congress convened it was urged to tackle the important problems that. confronted it and upon which the economic safety of the nation rested. To date it has progressed rather we'll with both parties cooperating and forgetting about politics. However. the
