Storm Legends Revived

This generation has a new snow storm on which to base countless legends. For long years every story of fierce snow storms always ended and began with the blizzard of 1888 Now we must date every thing from the blizzard of 1884. It is fitting counterpart to that devasting storm of many years ago. When modern transportation and business can be dis rupted as they were and still are this week then truly snow storm can be termed as possessing remarkable influ- ence
 The storm influenced our daily lives ill many ways. It drove us back to the ori- ginal means of travel-self locomotion. More people walked to and from their places of employment this week than probably in ten or fifteen years. Certainly the percentage was higher over longer period of time Recourse was had to dis carded garments of different style age, such as the most useful stocking-cap, fur lined ear-muffs, storm boots of all de- scriptions, mittens, and what not. It was revelation to study the wearing apparel of passers by if you could summon the courage to do it while braving the wintry blasts or the drifts.
 Waterbury was not alone in being crip-
  wasn't sudden as it was predicted on most weather calendars. Checked up the period from February 20 to 23 was scheduled to produce storms of much intensity in New England with traffic blockaded. And that's just what happened. When the State Highway department crews are unable to keep roads cleared and open to traffic, we know there's been storm. All the more credit to the city in calling upon every available man to dig the city out of the drifts.
 There will be hardships for several days. It won't be possible to open up side streets for some time. Deliveries of food stuffs will be interrupted. Fuel will be limited We must make the best of the sit uation and do all in our power to cooper ate with officials and with business in get ing back to normalcy. Modern day effici- ency will prevail and we'll be discussing next week the storm just like the old timers still reminisce about that of '88.

stated that at his own institution the au- thorities would be ready to drop football if the game ever proved inimical to the high scholastic standards demanded of all who attend there. Father O'Hara believes that it is false belief that football, even as played today in our colleges, under mines studies. Incidentally Father O'Hara showed that receipts from all sports go into general fund that aids in great part the academic support of the university.

Camps. For Idle

The camps for idle men that were pro- posed this week by Representative Schuy- Ter Merritt of Stamford are not quite the same as the ones the federal government is establishing in this state and in every other state for the feeding and housing of wanderers. That proposed by the veteran Stamford legislator would care for men released from CWA activities in May. Unfortunately for most of them these camps would be but second home, be- cause the majority of CWA employees are men and women with dependents and with homes.
 Representative Merritt would pattern the camps on those now in existence ln Canada. Men are paid 20 cents a day at them, but must contribute to their up- keep in some way. In such fashion, the congressman believes that the incentive to get out and find real employment will not be killed. He thinks that the CWA is de- stroying initiative by offering easy money" to men and women during hard times. It's just form of government dole, in other words. We don't agree.
 With all it's faults and perhaps its taints the CWA has served good pur pose and undoubtedly will continue to do so. It has many more advantages than the idle camp plan In the first place it appeals to a greater number and more diversified group of workers than do the camps. At most the camps would only be patronized by men without dependents. To our way of thinking it is the family man who must be protected at this stage of the depression. If he can find work, then his small earnings are going to do more to start the nation back to normalcy than anything else.

The Foundations At It Again

The latest report of the Carnegie Foun- dation holds Notre Dame University and the University of Southern California up to the glare of pitiless publicity due to the fact that three-year grid contract has been entered into by the two institutions. Dr Henry s. Pritchett, president-emerl- tus of the Foundation, declares that this contract is not in keeping with the intel lectual ideals of schools. He also terms football grossly demoralizing" as played today, meaning its commercialism.
 Evidently the good doctor does not know of the high scholastic standing of Notre Dame. We cannot speak for South ern California, but we presume that it's standing is sufficiently impressive, too. However, the school at South Bend is well known for other things than the calibre of it's football team. Any modern educa- tor would know that And quite few ordinary businessmen are finding it out.
 It remained for the Rev John F. O'Hara, acting president of the university, who was a speaker in Waterbury in Jan- uary. to set the nation right on the com mercialism of football by colleges. He

 Platt's Mills was laid out in 1740, and began somewhere near the south end of Town Plot. There was also a short road in Northbury built in 1740. The original layout of road from Watertown to Mid dlebury was surveyed in TAI, be- ginning on the Woodbury road at Break Neck hill, and there was also a. lower road from Westbury (Watertown) to Woodbury built that same year. Village highways and cross highways were laid out in 1746, and in 1748 the Waterbury Pennington line was adjusted. An derson states in his history that

 FRINGE OF GOOD FELLOWS
 Were it not for the activities of ex-Postmaster Walter Brown, or had not Senator Black popped his investigation so soon, prob ably Big Jim Farley's outfit would have been smudged.,
 For Farley, always a genial soul, always anxious to please, had been a little too willing in this case to please the aviation companies. He had given the job of fourth assistant postmaster to Silliman Evans, vice-president of American Airways.

Berlin Letter
BY PAUL KECSKEMETT United Pres SStOff COrresDOnder

\
 Berlin - (U.P.) - Penal law is one of the things the Nazi revo- lution proposes thoroughly to re- form.
 The days of ''liberar' justice, the German public is told. are gone. A new code, replacing liberalism by the sterner principles of blood and soil" is emerging.
 So far only a small part of the legal innovations planned by the Nazis has gone into effect. How ever, some of the new criminal laws adopted are very significant as they reveal the NaZis' legal principles.
 ''Treason' Penalties
 Thus, penalties inflicted for va rious kinds of treason" Ga delict which. in German law, includes everything possibly violating the countrys interests, down to spreading unfavorable news). have been increased enormously, eliminating in the death penalty.
 This reform illustrates the Nazis' main principle, namely, that the interests of the commun- ity as a whole are infinitely more important than those of the indi- vidual.
 To Prussian Premier Goering, for instance, this principle is so self-evident tha he expressed in- disgnation at the Leipzig courts "liberalistic" methods when the court did not content itself with examining the question whether Torgler, Dimitroff. etc, were pub lie enemies, but took pains to es- tablish whether they actually par ticipated in the burning of the Reichstag.
 "Public Enemies" Thus. the Nazi law aims in the first place at hitting public ene- mies." However. not only political offenders are regarded as such. A significant Nazi reform declares habitual criminals as public ene- mics, and prescribe their deten- ton for an indefinite period (nor- maily, for life), after repeated condemnatlons for grave offenses. Death for 'traitors," and in- definite preventive custody for habltual crlminals. are the two most striking reforms already in- l trodueed by tho Nnzis. Another important innovation will bo tho legal defense of the purity of the race.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Explains Failure Of Victorian Era

In "The Victorian Aftermath, Esme Wingfield-St -Stratford brings to a close that thoughtful and ironic triology in which he examines what seems to him to be something very much like the collapse of a civilization.
 His book is an account of the closing phrase of the pre-war era in English life; but it is, in it's broad CT implications, commentary on European civilization as a whole.
 It looks on that civilization as noble social effort wsich failed to solve a fundam enta1 error, and which, because of that failure, fell to pieces.
 This volume tells what hap pened in England between the death of Queen Victoria and the outbreak of the World War. It is an earnest and valuable bit of history.
 Victorian civilization, says MT Wingfield- -Stratford, was like a great palace built entirely without foundations. It looked fine, and for a while it sheltered a lot of people; but sooner or later it was bound to cave in.
 Scientific and mechanical ad- vances, he continues, put in mans hands the implements by which he could destroy himself, and mo- thing was done to keep him from exercising that privilege. Politics, domestic and foreign, degenerated into a skin-game. No one troubled to understand the inn plications in the new scientific and industrial era.
 The blind led the blind; in 1914, as was inevitable, all hands tumbled into the ditch. "The Victorian Aftermath" is an excellent book, and it is recom- mended to you without reserva- tion.
 Published by Morrow, it is pric- ed at $3.50.

The newspaper world is mourning to- day the death of John Raphael Rogers. To the printing trade he was the one man who was mainly responsible for the per lection of the linotype machine. Some 39 years ago his inventions and all his rights in the linotype were bought by Ottmar Mergenthaler. Since that time MT Rogers has devoted himself to new linotype in. ventions. The sight of many men setting type by hand away back in 1880 led him to invent practical machine-setter. There were three similar patent applica. tions filed about the same time-Rogers Mergenthaler's and Jacob D. Schucker's. Rogers bought out Schucker's working plans and won the patent rights. However, Mergenthaler secured a patent on nec- essary item -the slug caster. The only solution was combination of all efforts and that soon followed. The rest we know You read these lines because John Rogers made it possible.

Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia of New York city was mentioned for the presidency recently A group of Massachusetts, leg islators called on His Honor and among their remarks stated that they expected to see him in line for the presidency within ''eight years" Let's see, that would be about 1942. There's no presi- dential election then. It would have to be either the 1886 or 194O fight. It'll prob ably be the latter, because we doubt if anyone will dispute President Roosevelt's right to be renominated or reelected in 1886 In 194O almost anything might happen, even Postmaster-G General Farley might be the candidate of the democrats.
