Jobs Multiply

One of the cheering bits of news lately is that young men are leaving the Civilian Conservation Corps at the rate of 7,5OO a month to accept jobs. This competition of private employment began last October, continued through the winter at the rate of 5000 or 5000 a month, and rises higher as spring comes on.
 The CCC projects are recognized as worth while in themselves, for their con- tribution to the value of forests and eroded lands and for their wholesome building of the young manhood enrolled. But there are always new candidates available for the CCC ranks, and there is all around satisfaction when trained and toughened forest workers can be absorbed into private enterprise. They will be bet ter workers for their experience, they will make more money, and they can be, for the most part, at home with their own people again.
 It is still big task for private busi ness to absorb the millions squeezed out by the great depression. It may be years before all those who want and need work have regular jobs again. But the process is more rapid now, and may continue ac- celerating for months.
 As the ranks fill up, people learn over again the old truth that there is not merely fixed quantity of work to pass around Work makes work. People work for each other in a thousand ways, jobs making more jobs, and total employment rolling up - as long as earnings keep pace with production and provide consum- ing power accordingly.

Washington, April 19-Gener- al Johnson's new MIRA reorgani- ton is provoking loud cabinet explosions behind the scenes.
 The liberals in the official fam fly don't like the looks of the new machinery. Particularly they object to two things:
 1. Installing an army officer in the person of Colonel George A. Lynch, one of General Mac Arthur's henchmen, as a sort of top sergeant over the Blue Eagle roost.
 2. Establishing industrial re- lations boards on all code authorities to handle labor dis putes. The effect of this action is completely to junk the long established and experienced conciliation service of the labor department.
 Secretary of Labor Perkins has been drowning on this last move. She and Johnson have been on the best of terms, but now they may not be. Johnson did not consult Miss Perkins when he set up the new labor boards; also his move tends to put labor more under the dom- ination of industry.
 ON THE QUIET
 Miss Perkins is doing some. quiet investigating preparatory to raising the issue at an early cabinet session.
 Johnson justified Lynch's ap- pointment as MIRA administra- tive officer because he was the ''most advanced thinker in the army" Possibly more important, the two men were West Point class mates.
 But this effusive laudation failed to impress critical cabinet members who most emphatically challenge JohnsOn's judgment in putting an army officer in such an important civilian post. Lynch, they point out. knows nothing about MIRA, has had neither labor nor industrial ex- pcrience.
 They view his appointment as setting an unwarranted prece- dent, certain to give foes of the administration fodder for their charges of "dictators" and mil itary rule"
 OLD STORY
 To Ferdinand Pecora, fighting general counsel of the senate bank Investigating committee, the tactics and spacious argu- ments of the Wall street lobby against t he administration stock exchange bill are an old story.
 He compares them to the fol- lowing situation:
 A young lawyer, fresh out of college, solicited advice from veteran of the bar. What rule, he asked, would a successful lawyer lay down for the guid- ance of one just starting his legal career?
 "My boy" the old timer re- piled, "tlle rule to follow is very simple. When your opponent has you licked on the facts, go into court and talk law. When he has you licked on the law, go into court and talk facts.
 "But if he has you licked on both the facts and the law, then go into court and raise hell gen. erally."

Stratford started Monday it's annual cleanup week" campaign. Six trucks were sent all over the town to collect rub bish that accumulated during the winter months. Not only was this to be taken from the city streets, but from private property, too. Owners who wanted refuse removed simply had to pile it in convenient bundles or containers along the curb. This is splendid idea, naturally one that would work. better in smaller town than large city, although not impossible in the latter. We often thought that Waterbury ought to encourage just some such work as this. There is general tendency in April to inn prove ones property, but too often there are many localities that get little or no attention. In these days most property owners believe it sufficient to pay their tax bibl without improving their property materially. The city might be able to help out some by originating some sort of a cooperative scheme with the aid of Mutual Aid or EZRA workers. If private buildings can be razed, surely private grounds can also be improved to the ex- tent of cleaning up rubbish, rocks, trim ming out trees, etc. It may not be exactly legal to authorize such work, but it cer- tainly would be extremely worthwhile.

within that area lay the street now known as East and West Main streets, the northern part of Bank street, and the southern part of North Main and Cooke streets" These did not extend, so it is ex- plained, to the length they later and now include, but a picture may be mentally made of the general appearance with the common or Green at the central point.

What would you do if somebody pre- sented you with 10000 plants about this time of year? It didn't cause any con- fusion down at the New York Botanical Gardens when 10000 rare specimens of British New Guinea and Brazil plant life arrived this week. It took two expedi- tions to obtain them. They'll delight North American visitors to the botanical gardens in the future. Many of the plants have never been recorded, so should be worth seeing.

Nobody can ever forget ''The Birth of a Nation," the first, and still regarded as one of the greatest, spectacle movies pro- duced. It brought screen fame to Lillian Gish and Wallace Reid; it made the name of Griffith resound through celluloid land. The picture was based on the novel, "The Clansman,", written by Thomas Dixon. Today as he hears 80, he is pen niless, but admits to no regret that during the last 27 years he spent $1,250,000. This he realized through 21 novels, 9 plays and 6 motion pictures. He began writing at 40 after some years in the ministry. ''The Clansman" still remains probably his best work and is still good seller.

The historic old village of Appomattox may be restored if efforts of citizens of Virginia prevail. Appomattox is famous as the scene of the meeting of the gen. erals of the Union and Confederate armies to end the Civil War. Present plans would restore the village, now crumbling away, and also the battlefield. The entire spot would become national park. Efforts have been made along these lines before, but no definite action was ever taken. There was some feeling that perhaps such a move would create ill feeling between the North and South. However, there now seems to be as much sentiment for this national park in southern states as in the north. Congress may get request before it convenes to take the necessary action to create a national park at Appo- mattox. Considerable money would be in- volved in the work of restoration.
