Relief Still First

Harry Hopkins's warning that the fed eral government may have to spend bil- lions of dollars more than it has spent for unemployment relief and public works projects is sharp warning that one of the most important jobs of the New Deal is long way from being finished. What ever else the present administration may seek to do, and however widely its vari- ous policies may be criticized, there is one point on which all hands are agreed. Peo- pie who can't get work are not going to suffer from hunger, cold, and homeless ness any longer.
 So far the federal administration has spent $1,500,O00,000 on unemployment relief. Relief Administrator Hopkins was given $950,000,000 this spring to carry him through the summer; but it is going fast, and there is every indication that it is not going to be enough. For there is one disturbing fact in connection with the recovery program. Unemployment may be shrinking, and payrolls may be going up; but there are today some 4,700,- 900 people on federal relief rolls, as com. pared with 4,500,000 year ago.
 Tn other words, an increasing number of jobless people, unable to date to hook themselves up with jobs, have come to the end of their resources and are obliged to turn to Uncle Sam. In spite of business improvement, Uncle Sam is directly sup porting more people now than he was sup porting year ago. There is no reason to believe that the present rate of revival will materially reduce the number in the immediate future.
 This brings us up against the key factor In the whole equation. Back of all our talk about codes, reform measures, mone- tary policies, and the like there is this large. solid, and interesting body of peo- ple who will starve if the government

Political discussions around the state indicate that there are going to be some lively contests for nominations in both parties. It doesn't look as if any position was assured definite person, save per haps few of the present incumbents who come up for election again this fall. There are a number of congressional members who will stand again in their respective parties, but only the top place on the dem- ocratic ticket in the state election seems assured right now. Among the republi- cans there seems to be a wholesale rush for other positions by those now holding office. The present g.o.p. congressman will be renominated without a doubt, although at one time there were rumors that Dr Higgins might be asked to step aside The slate looks pretty safe for re- nomination.

A Valley Problem

1t is particularly unfortunate that there is no Naugatuck valley planning board or regional group in existence right now. It would be the ideal organization to foster a movement, suggested in a news article in the Waterbury Democrat this week, whereby stream pollution would be elim- mated. Some years back we recall an effort was made to coordinate the towns of the valley for just such purposes as this, but if memory does not fail us this first beginning fell rather short of it's admirable purpose.
 The intent of this organization, com posed of civic groups like the Chambers of Commerce was to restore the original beauty of the valley from source to mouth. It, demanded naturally the complete CO., operation of the officials of the several towns in the valley. Stress was laid on cleaning up rubbish along the river banks, designing certain spots for develop ment by the highway department, and like projects which entailed little expenditure of money, but consider able work on whatever volunteers might be enlisted.
 We don't doubt that if this league could have flourished, it would have included in it's scope of activities the elimination of stream pollution. As General Sanford II. Wadhams, director of the State Water Commission, wrote to the editor of the Democrat some time ago correction of the pollution evils in the Naugatuck valley or any river valley for that matter cannot be limited to one community. It. must take in all centers of population where stream pollution occurs.
 In the Naugatuck valley pollution starts at the headwaters in Torrington and eX- al~ n1f 4l.~x f.N4 4Ea tsnvn Nf the stream with the Housatonic, where the industrial centers. Ansonia, Derby, and Shelton stand. To combat success fully, to eliminate entirely pollution of the river by sewage the towns from Torring- ton down to the three-named above must enlist in the fight and strive to keep pace in their plans for proper sewage disposal To this end the creation of a valley au- thority would certainly facilitate and ac- celerate plans.
 We know from what was printed in the Democrat this week and from what has been in print prior that Torrington and Naugatuck are ready to build their dis posal plants, the latter waiting on Water bury before actual construction work starts. Waterbury must lay another trunk line sewer and hitch laterals to it before reconditioning her half-built sew age plant. The cities at the mouth must build their plant, now merely in the wis., ionary stage. The other valley commun- ities have no public sewage systems and whatever sewage contributed to the stream is from private sources, a matter easily remedied.
 It is clear that group, similar to that formed in the Connecticut river valley, might serve a good purpose right now. Funds are necessarily lacking to push million dollar sewer projects. But some central group working to attain the com mon end - complete elimination of polA lution in the Naugatuck valley - is re- quired to keep one town from casting aspersions at another.

Here's Bitter Study Of Life's Madness

Of ali the cries of despair and
 rage which have filled postwar literature, Journey to the End of the Night" by Louis- Ferdinand
 Celine, is the most shocking and
 the most strident.
 Here is a book which is less a novel than q long, savage snarl
 against the cruelty. the injustice.
 the ugliness, ani the stupidity of l modern life.
 The author does not merely take | the lid off the pit and let you see the fires; he asserts that all of life Is lived in those fires, and that unless you can die or become rich
 there is no possible escape. His story tells about a young French student who joins the army
 at the outbreak of the World War. He serves in the front lines, loses | his nerve, is invalided out, goes down to Africa to represent some | trading firm, suffers from fever, wanders to the United States, drifts back to France. finishes his studies.
 becomes q doctor and winds up on the staff of vaguely shady asylum for lunatics on the edge of Paris. All this is not so much the story | of a mans career as 1t IS n study
 of a progressive and aimless ex- ploration of misery and degrada- ton.
 our doctors looks for love. sym pathy and hope and finds only meanness and despair. In all this long novel only three kidiy and admirable people appear - French sergeant in Africa. a De- troit prostitute, and a 10-year-old boy in Paris.
 All the rest is darkness, filth.
 and hopelessness. The book is well
 named; the doctor. truly. makes q Journey to the end of the night. It isn't a pleasant book. but 1t
 is a terrifically forceful one. Read
 1t, and you won't soon forget 1t. It is published by Little. Brown
 and Co for s2.50.

In his summation of the chronological order of the early schools, Dr An- derson says: "At meeting of the joint board held September {, 1860, it was voted to establish a primary school in the basement of the old Episcopal church on East Main street--a building belonging to the Roman Catholic parish of the I'm. maculate Conception, and after a number of years, superseded by St Patrick's hall. On September {. 1861, tho joint board voted to es- tablish a scnool of intermediate grade on the upper floor, and in 1862 tho district committee hired the building from the representa- tives of the parish at a rental oe $500 . year." It was here that a school for Catholic children was conducted with Catholic instructors and established by Rev T. r. Hens drickcn, pastor of that parish.
