Children Need Camps

Angelo Patri, who gives American parents much sound adivee, has recently spoken good word for summer camps Modern liv- ing he points out, deprives children of old fashioned chores which were good for their mental and physical growth. It is much harder to teach youngster self-rellanee, and the satisfaetions of inventiveness and simple tasks, in the modern, electrically equipped home set in small yard on city street Harder still, in an apartment house suite The sammer camp. with nature study. cook ,ng over outdoor fires, getting wood teteh- hg water. and myriad of pleasant tasks upplies indeed thrilling field of activity.
 The trouble IS that so many children can lot 90. to summer camps. Privately man. lgcd camps cost too much for many families, and those run by philanthroplc organiza- ions are too crowded Parks and play grounds are the city $ nearest answer to the need, though they must necessarily fall short of the ideal It is a problem which should concern not only individual parents but civic leaders as we'll Modern youngsters have real grievance here which their friends must seek to mend

Philippine Independence

The most surprising thing about the vote for Philippine independence in the House of Representatives was the size of the majority. The lower house of Congress in considered close to the people. When it decides upon any question by vote of 306 to 47, more than six to one, the phenomenon is to be explained by national psychology rather than Washington politics. This impression is strengthened by reports that the Senate also is prepared to give the measure big majority.
 The idea, of course, is not new. When the United States took charge of the islands, as unsought spells of philanthropic war. it promised them their freedom as soon as they could be got ready for 1t. Similar pledges formal and informal, have been given repeatedly. But in the past, indepen- denee was always set Tn the indefinite fu- ture. Congress now fixes date. The Phil ippines are to be free on the Fourth of July. 194O.
 What has caused this sudden decision by both political parties to turn 100000 Asiatc islanders loose on their own3 Prob ably two new factors. One IS that, since the World War, the Americans are fed up on the imperialism which swept them after the Spanish American war. They have seen too much of imperialism and its Dead Sea fruits, and they have new respect for the ideals on which our own liberties were founded. A more immediate factor is prob- ably the recent outburst of miltarism in Asia. with Japan running amuck on an im- perialistc adventure. The present national mood is to avoid Asiatic entanglements and dangers by staying on our own side of the Pacific

Wind-Electric Plant

The Germans whom we used to accuse of slavishly following leaders and submitting to authority. but who seem willing to try anything are building in Berlin the highest structure in the world Height is no novelty and no treat to Americans, but the use 1t IS being put to in this case is arresting, as book reviewer would say.
 There are going to be windmills on that building. It is tower of structural ron. The general effect of 1t, when completed and equipped. may be that of the familiar wlno mill used for pumping water in American farmyards. But 1t will surmount all other landscape features. will have several wind mills instead of one. and will use its wind power to develop electric current, to be used for heating hothouses in the vicinity.
 It is strange that America. with its early start and notable development in high build ings and electric equipment, has never done this. Charles Brush, the inventor of the carbon arc light. used to light his house from dynamo driven by windmill'in in the yard nearly half century ago, but little has ever been done with the idea.
 Wind-motor combinations might be prae- tcal in many sections of the country. Steel towers might be covered with windmills tor light, power and heat. Why does not some American manufacturer put on the market a practical wind-eleetric unit?

No one can say that the Naugatuek val ley isn't getting its share of attention from the state highway department Of recent years two of the most important projects of the state have occurred in this district. Oddly enough Thomaston shared in both of them. We refer to the new Reynolds Bridge which adds so much to the pictur- sequences of the upper valley and removes a traffic hazard. In addition the department is now ready to start an immense task on the other side of Thomaston namely, elim- nation of the treacherous grade crossing at the foot of Plymouth Hill. This will in- volve construction of concrete and steel bridge as well as removal of great section of the grade of the lower part of the hill. Owing to the steepness of the hill at this particular point the work is doubly diff cult. When completed it will vie with the remarkable viaducts and cutoffs that the department has been building of recent years. Incidentally the new passover at Milldale which is enjoying its first year of existence is another job in which Water bury was vitally interested. All in all we certainly can't complain about the lack of attention from the highway department. Now if it would only take over supervision of Thomaston avenue. But that's too much to be expected, we suppose.

Official House Cleaning

Spring housekeeping IS bad enough in America, but in some ways worse in Japan. There is really less to do over there, because there is less furniture and other junk in the house, but the job has to be done with ap- palling thoroughness.
 There are two official eleanings year in Japan, the Lesser and the Greater.
 The Greater Cleaning is now under way. Public notice is sent to every home that it must be thoroughly cleaned and put in order by certain date. Absolutely every thing removable is taken out of the house. The interior is cleaned relentlessly. and SO is every item it contains. The yard is scene of devastation for day or two. When everything is replaced, public official ap- pears to inspect the place and, if he is satis- fled, gives the housewife a certificate of cleanliness
 That would never do us. Imagine any mere man trying to boss an American woman housecleaning! All that men can do about this terrible ceremony in America IS to keep as far away from it as possible.

This Messy Music

Don't blame the crooners says charitable Walter Damroseh. Many of them might be artists if they didn't have to earn their bread and butter. And don't blame the radio sta tions too much. They are at the mercy of those who sponsor the commercial programs.
 The latter. Damroseh is sure. under-esti- mate the taste of the American public. That is why they offer meaningless succession of music of which any conductor can listen to any four notes and guess the next four" Also why they mess up their programs with incongruous stuff until a listener of taste tunes them out or smashes the radio set.
 The blame falls back finally upon ihe public itself. which stands for the kind of sfuff it is given, The tsstelcss and ignor- >nf may applaud. Those who have taste usllzIIy say nothing but ignore radio more ,nd more. No wonder the commercial

The Chase Ends

Too much credit cannot De given Assist ant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald and County Detective filling for their prose eution of the case of Alfonso Russo, missing banker, who was arrested in London, Eng land, last Friday Although the two off cials did not move far from their aeeus- toned haunts they managed to keep the eul- prit on the move around the globe. he chase was one to exhaust the patience of any official, but the reward was the capture of the missing man. That it was due to the indefatigable efforts of the local prosecutor and the county detective IS apparent.
 Many have joined in complimentng them upon their coup. Foremost in the van was States Attorney Lewis who had assigned to his assistant this tremendous task of tracing down person of whom the law had no idea of his whereabouts. To some the task might have appeared hopeless but to the officers of the law nothing IS hopeless. Faced so carly in his career with this Job of returning to Waterbury a fugitive from Jus tiee Attorney Fitzgerald acted swiftly and methodcally.
 No effort was spared in tracing Russo from city to city as he attempted to throw the police off his track No clue was too insignificant As a result the pursuit heightened into weeks, then months. But the result was apparent to all who were eognizant of the fact that the local officials were bending every effort to catch the miss ing man. With his appointment less than year old Assistant States Attorney Fitzger- ald has more than lived up to the reputation that was his when he was thus honored.

Further more, several nearby states are contemplating similar statutes.

The Supreme Court of Errors has ruled that automobile drivers cannot beat traf- fife lights and expect to have the law side with them in event of collision. Speeding up to catch the green light is the favorite pastime of most drivers. For no apparent reason most motorists believe that the min- ute delay caused by the red light is vital. Hence, there is always mad dash to catch the green light, often resulting in accidents or near ones as one car careens madly around a corner on the yellow flash. So watch your step. you motorists, who constantly claim the law is with you as you speed ruthlessly along the streets.
