A Costly Winter

New England has suffered more this winter than in many years. This is not news. Still it is news to many people that there will be bills to pay other than those contracted for the removal of snow. There have been frequent complaints about holes in the pavement of various main streets in Waterbury. There will be more before the street department is able to repair such damage. Connecticut will pay mill lions of dollars in damage bills this spring if her towns and cities can find the money.
 It was quite an expensive job digging ourselves out of the recent snOWstorms. Now that the weather has combined to remove the last vestiges of the blizzards we are face to face with the traces of the storm the cracks, the holes in the hard surfaced streets and highways They can be patched at little cost other than the labor and material involved. But such patch jobs require constant patching. Motor traffic today is so heavy that even the best of pavements only are given q definite period of years to survive.
 Perhaps some one of these days some individual will perfect material that can withstand not only the passage of many wheels, but also will be weather proof. Snow, ice, and water have accomplished in three months what auto wheels require twice three years. It almost makes us wonder if it is right to spend so much money on streets and highways. If one winter can ruin such expensive projects, why indulge in them? Still if cities and states didn't pander to the demands of their citizens there would be new set of officials in all of them confronted by the same problems. We simply have to pay for our climate even as we capitalize 1t for advertising purposes

Sugar Imports

One of the administration jobs, right now, is to find workable and equitable way of dealing with the Cuban sugar pro- ducers. But there is an angle to this problem which deserves a little more at tention than it has been given. While we are under moral obligation to see that the Cuban sugar industry is not wrecked, we also have an obligation with respect to the territory of Hawaii. If the Cuban sugar quota were put at too high.a figure, grave injustice could be done to the Hawaiians.
 Hawaii, it is well to remember, IS American soil, peopled by 380,OOO ener- getic and industrious folk who are look ing forward to the day when they can at tain full statehood. More than three fourths of the value of Hawaiian exports is drawn from the sugar trade. Nearly a third of Hawai's inhabitants are connect ed directly with that trade. It ought to be possible to arrange things so that justice can be done to both Hawaii and Cuba. In any case, the Hawaiian claims cannot be overlooked.

Less Speed, More Safety

The wisecrackers probably will get a good deal of fun out of the fact that the Northern Federation of Civic Organiza- tions, in California, has adopted resolu- tion urging legislation forbidding the pro- duction of autos which can exceed speed of 45 miles an hour. But when you stop to think about it, this resolution. isn't nearly as ridiculous as it might seem on first glance.
 Excessive speed is contributing factor in the majority of fatal auto accidents. We pass elaborate traffic laws and hire whole battalions of traffic policemen to see that speed is curbed - but we go right ahead making cars which can travel at speeds that are genuinely safe nowhere but on regular speedways: On the whole, we don't seem to have sense enough to handle these high-speed cars properly; 1t is not in the least surprising if some peo- pie are beginning to suspect that more radical restrictions are necessary.

HISTORY

The tavern of Captain Samuel Judd for some time was the only one between the northern part of Waterville and Salem Bridge (Naugatuck). It's position was i'm portant because it was on the main road between New Haven and Litchfield, over which road produce was brought from Litchfeld coun- ty. It continued until 1925. It was visited during the Revolutionary war by American forces. It Is of historical interest to know that La fayette and other distinguished of- ficers passed through the (then) village and perhaps were greeted by mine host at Judas.
 Judd's Tavern has been describ- ed by Charles Burton and given in Anderson's history as follows: There stood upon the north side of West Main street, a short dis tance from Centre square, q house known as the old Judd house, which was for a long period of years the only inn of the village. The house was red, and capacious stoop extended across it's front; at one corner was venerable weep ing elm. Tn immediate proximity to the house; extending along the line of the street, was an ample horse shed. in accordance with the fashion of those days. Altogether the establishment was a good rep resentation of the New England inn of the olden timc." Apropos of the horse Shed which dates back pretty far. it might not be amiss

Our Folk Music

Miss Jean Thomas, founder of the {. American Folk Song Society, warns everybody to "keep jazz out of the Ma tional Folk Festival" This event is to occur in St Louis as part of the dedica- tion program for new municipal audi torium.
 "Unfortunately," she says, many things which are considered folk songs and music and which are frequently present. ed over the radio as such, have little in common with the pure ballads which originated in Elizabethan England. Jazz has no part in pure, folk balladry or mli- sic, and it is hoped all the influences of jazz will be barred from this folk fes- tival."
 Listeners may have noticed the queer ideas of some radio broadcasters on this subject. Classics written by sophisticat- ed poets and set to music by scholarly musicians are often referred to as folk songs," merely because they are simple or popular.
 Certainly jazz is not folk music, any more than the words of songs hammered out is New York's Tin Pan Alley are folk songs. Jazz is civilized disease. All our crooners and their stock in trade

Here Permanently

President Franklin D. Roosevelt has written the second chapter in his attack on the forces of depression. It is a plea for the permanency of the MIRA in the United States. In perhaps the longest speech that he has made publicly since entering the White House the president delivered in no uncertain tones an ulti- matum to business in general to conform to the particular terms of it's own code. There is no denying the appeal. It is a direct one It must be needed if we are to smooth out the problems that now vex our social and economic orders.
 Last week President Roosevelt asked Congress for such far-reaching powers as to amaze that body, if not the entire na- tion. He asked that to him be entrusted the right and the means to negotiate treat ies with various foreign nations for the sole purpose of improving trade condi- tions. He is perfectly right in calling at tention to the fact that our policy of lso- lation has ruined perfectly good accounts in Europe and Asia. We have raised our tariff walls just once too often. Now we must go afeld seeking business if our farmers are to make living; if our fac tory workers are to have a roof over their head.
 At home the problem is different. We have our broad fertile fields. Our fac tories are there awaiting the orders Such business as is contained within our own borders will not suffice to keep us all i'll clothing, to feed us, to enable us to live as we have for years. Either we must lower our standard of living or change existing social and economic levels It is along the latter line that President Roosevelt works He declares that strict application of the MIRA with it's major codes is bound to produce conditions ac- ceptable to all of us. It looks as if those men who thought that time would kill off the MIRA underestimated the man down in tine White House. The "big stick" may wave threateningly in their direction very shortly.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Describes Flight Over Mt Everest

First. over Everest" tell how British airmen of the Houston Mount Everest expedition last year flew over the top of the world s highest mountain--the peake that never has been climbed. And 1t Is book that will make you sit up nights.
 Written by members of the ex- petition, the book describes in graphic detail the accomplishment of one of avaiation,s most danger ous and thrilling feats.
 The base camp from which the two airplanes that made the flight took off was 150 miles from the mountain. To go over the mountain It was necessary to buck winds of almost unimaginable force one gale of 120 miles an hour was encountered, and a terrific down. draft of air carried one of the planes down 1,500 feet in few seconds.

 And they made extensive photo graphic maps of the unknown ter rain south of Everest.

There is much speculation through the state as to the reasons behind the an- nouncement that former Mayor Angelo M Paonessa of New Britain does not desire the democratic nomination for mayor there this spring. He made this state ment last week, publicly at that It rather puts the democratic party there on it's mettle. From our observation we'd say that the democrats of New Britain were rather counting on their former heavy vote-getter to end the Quigley regime. We presume the latter will be the candidate of the gop. once more, although there has been mention of competition for him in securing the nomination. MT Paonessa gave as his reasons for not seeking the mayoralty nomination his present connec- tion with the state labor department. He believes he can be of more assistance in furthering the Roosevelt program by continuing this work than by trying for the mayoralty. That may be so, but then again it's barely possible that with Pao- nessa in the saddle the New Britain dem- ocrats might be able to reclaim New Bri- tain. It's the one large city of the state that has refused to remain consistently democratic of recent years, although Hartford and Bridgeport are now desert CTS from the fold

w. H. P. Squires, secretary of the state public welfare department, believes that our statutes governing the poor may have to undergo radical changes in the near future Federal relief is gradually re- placing state and local aid. This is di- rectly opposed to the Connecticut scheme which has always been local maintenance. Of course of recent years it has been impossible for either the state or the com munities composing it to care for the number of people who are destitute. Still that may be due to the manner in which we render this aid. Direct appropriations in the past have sufficed to care for in- digent residents of Connecticut. We're fast approaching the time when there must be definite fund set up against the day when anyone of us might become ward of the state Call it unemployment insur- ance or old age pensions, it amounts to the same thing. We must keep pace with the times

(By c. T. Lanhem in the New

 down the sky And watched blue swords Of light

 ever die stormed upward in an ecstasy of
 flight. She found death wheeling like Q
 white- winged god Over the crashing cataracts of the
 storm, And saw deaths eyes that they
 were beautiful. And felt deaths lips that they were young and warm. But all that night her kinfolk
 dreamed of skulls And deati1's communion with the
 blinded mole, While up the laundering reaches
 Of, the sky krrpwsa thn nav d4ad's zziid.
