A Thought for Today
Big Push Begins

Faced with an alarming increase in motor fatalities and accidents state oftl- cials this week have launched another of- fensive against careless and reckless driv- ing on state highways. Every enforce ment official in Connecticut will receive special warning immediately to be on the alert to enforce the statutes. As spokes- man for the State Police put it, Every highway is going to be partolled. Every violator of highway rules is going to be arrested and every arrest is going through the courts"
 We trust that this does not mean that the Connecticut motoring public, in the main pretty law-abiding, is going to be subjected to anything out of the ordinary. Motor laws are supposed to be observed today. If there are violations that are be- ing overlooked, then the officials are at fault. If there are highways which are not being patrolled, yet on which 1t is common knowledge that accidents occur because drivers are too often prone to ln- dulge in speeding or worse still tatlcs that endanger the lives of occupants of other cars, approaching, passing or being passed, then the authorities and not the motorists are to blame.
 < This sudden intention to bear down can get out of hand. The most careful driver in the world, the man without single ac- cident to his discredit, may be shared in some foolish little manner by custodians who believe they are enforcing the law. Too often we find strict attention paid to enforcement of laws that enrich the town, but do not cut down the number of accl- dents. Right now We should have more healthy regard for the driver than before. On his or her shoulders rests the burden of ending this terrible series of mishaps.
 We must continue the educational work which has been launched so auspiciously in this state. We must speed up the job of removing from the highways the me chanically unfit automobile. We must also pay attention to the driver who is obviously unfit to operate. The whole program of highway safety must be maintained at an even pace. We should not let the past weekend destroy our bal ance or cause us to believe the ground gained wasn't worth the effort. Never have we had more opportunity to educate the motorist.

Down To $20, ,ooo, 900

The cost of the Merritt Parkway is down to $20,O00,000 now or should we say up to $20,000,0o0. No doubt it all de- pends upon whether you were contern- plating road at the higher or the lower amount. When the Legislature adjourned this year it was with the definite knowl- edge in peoples minds that the Fairfield county road was to be built at cost of $15,00O,0O0 However, that wasn't quite, true. At least so we were recently in- formed by the Bridgeport Telegram.
 It seems that the $15,000O00 was mere ly the amount to be secured by floating a county bond issue. In addition to that there was to be a 45 per cent federal grant, which would bring the sum total of the project up around $27,000,000. But even down in Fairfield county they knew that highway built at such a cost as this would meet with much criticism and loud were the denials that the estimate was right. Now after a conference at Hart ford the cost is placed at $20,000,000.
 The Hartford conference also decided that the route will be 36 miles long and will be for the present, anyway, four lanes wide Colored concrete was suggested for the surfacing. In the event this is too costly penetration macadam will be urged. There will be 63 intersections with most of them being converted into overpasses. A parkway will divide the traffic lanes. Now everything is settled but acting on ten specific recommendations made by the Fairfield County Planning Association this week and which came practically simultaneously with the Hartford an- nouncement.
 This latter was the result of confer ence between Governor Wilbur L. Cross, Highway Commissioner John A. Macdon- aid, and twelve Fairfield county residents, representing the parkway commission and the county itself. If this last announce ment does not settle for once and for all the question of this project then the state might as well reconcile itself to a dreary fight. Fortunately it is restricted to the county concerned right now. If other counties should take up the fight, we don't know what would happen, but certainly fl1e road, much needed and approved by aII motorists, would never be built.

Room For Improvement

Many resident of large midwestern city the other day undoubtedly read with a combination of doubt and shame some figures taken from a survey of the city made by the government with the aid of CWA and EZRA work-relief people. The figures showed: 8,8O5 families in that city's metropolitan area are living in homes unfit for human beings to dwell in; 29,258 families without tubs or shower baths; 3,867 families are without run ming water; 5,702 families still light their homes with kerosene lamps; there are I4,1O8 families without the sanitary necessity of private indoor toilet.
 All this is no reflection on that city, which was Cleveland, Ohio. Official fig ures on conditions elsewhere show that there are many cities which do not stack up so well. In fact, Cleveland is one of the better cities in regard to its general standard of living. Of course there were also redeeming features, showing the eff forts that are being made to advance the standard of living.
 For instance, there are 88,151 wage earners in the city who ride to work in automobiles. There are 57,201 families using electric refrigerators. There are 14,203 families with two or more automo- DlleS. It IS nOC ueCeSSdTlly DldCk plCCuIS . at all, for it shows clearly that many, thousands of workers are living in com fort that could scarcely be imagined by workers in any other country in the world.
 Nevertheless, the inadequate standard available to even small minority is blot on any city and danger. Surveys like this are the first step toward improving the conditions they expose For unless we first get clear picture of our short comings, it is hard to move toward better things.
 Every city would do well to think about these statistics, for no city can afford to allow such conditions to exist without making determined effort to better them. Further, the potential domestic market for housing, plumbing, lighting, and similar improvements is clearly shown. It waits for the time when the people lacking those vital things get enough money to buy, them.

tions as the above hypocrite has employed to disparage my character which I consider to be unjust, unqualified, and uncalled for. l expect in 8 very short space of time to make him prove his in- situation that he cannot substan- tiate. I have no authority to speak for the present Administration, but I hope they will be in office when their accusers will be dead and gone. Furthermore what can be expected from group that bands together for the sole purpose of furthering their own ends and who have within their ranks animals worse than beasts, whose minds seems to be as perverted and cor rupt that they are not capable Of forming one honest idea, whose only ambition in life is to go about condemning others and villifying their characters, which is the most sacred possession a person has.
 But nowadays we have so many societies springing up in our midst. some of; them mushroom growth. that will soon vanish like vapor and die the death they deserve.
 Now let us take a look at the isms-communism for instance, which seems to have nothing to offer but love of country and hatred of God. Socialism stands for dividing the wealth of the na- ton equally, so that we could all remain idle. What philosophy people are confronted with today within the midst of depression brought about by people who seem to worship nothing but money and their friends, the devil.
 Now Fair-Play I demand a pub lie apology with your real name submitted or if not you will have to take the consequences. It seems your occupation is a poor one when 1t took you a week to pry into my life, private and public, and then when that diabolical mind of yours was overwrought with hatred you gave vent to your ly- ing feelings not caring one iota what injury you might infiict. You ought to know, that Is providing you know anything, that the de- famer of ones character is worse than the worst criminal that pol- lutes the very air he breathes and contaminates the very ground he treads upon and now that my vo- cabulary is exhausted and having spent too much time refuting the charges of a perverted and corrupt mind I am longing for a glass of Clock ale to quench my thirst and to drink a toast to the health and happiness of its vendors.

Through the efforts and courtesy of the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce Tangier Island, that legendary and almost mythical island set in the middle of Chesa- peake Bay will be brought within the scope of the tourist this fall. Three trips to the island, the center of the soft shell crab industry in the East, will be spon- sored. Busses will carry those making the trip from Richmond, Va, to Reeds vile, where the parties will embark on launches. The ride to Tangier Island will take two and one-half hours. Tangier was first visited by Captain John Smith in 1908. Even today it's only means of loco- motion is carts, few bicycles, wheel bar rows and boats. Many inhabitants have never seen an automobile Fishing is the major industry with boats peculiar to the place being used in the trade. The trips are being anticipated with eagerness by many people who have long had hanker- ing to visit the spot.

ECONOMIC LAWS WILL FORGE ALIENS INTO
 CITIZENSHIP
Waterbury. Conn.
 August IA. 19S5.

Waterbury. Conn.
 August 14, 1885. Editor, the Democrat:
 Aliens in the United States who have been lax in taking out citizenship papers are becoming alarmed. The recent orders from the government instructing con- tractors on certain kinds of gov- ernment work to employ only American citizens is the cause for alarm. It has long been advocated by various groups that the United States pass laws giving aliens the choice of applying for citizenship within a period of s years after entering the United States or the alternative of returning to their native land.
 There are thousands of aliens who have been in this country for period of ten years or more who have not applied for American citizenship. But the fault is not entirely theirs. The government has been lax in its requirements and extended practically all privi- leges to citizens and non-citizens oiAASs WAtA IchCA TOAiS Sc ASdVy and employment so scarce 1t has irked United States citizens to see foreigners getting benefits which in some cases were being denied to citizens.
 Even so wealthy and liberal minded country as is the United States has to protect its citizens in times of stress. If the United States has not seen fit to pass statutory regulations regarding non-citizens in the past, it is be- cause of never having been con- fronted with the serious problems that face the country at present.
 In the growing competition for jobs and the lessening of relief ex- penditures citizens will force the government to give them prefer ence over non-citizens. And this may be extended into the fields of private industry. The natural laws of economics will force aliens to become citizens much more quick ly than any set of statutory laws. CITIZEN.

ing advantage of the situation tc make a quiet drive for senate passage of the stymied Bland Copeland Ship Subsidy Bill. {. k
 The proclaimed purpose of this measure is to replace the existing scandaI-smeared Ocean-mail contract system with an open and above board program of government sub- sides.
 Actually the bill contains pro- visions that are more vicious than some of the evils 1t is sup- posed to eliminate. Senator Bennett Clark charged 1t would enable a ship operator to mulct the government of $10,00Q,000 on a $75O,000 investment.
 So unsavory is the legislation that despite the endorsement of the House Merchant Marine committee and a tremendous un- dercover campaign by shipping interests, the measure barely squeezed through the House by an eight-vote margin.
 In the Senate 1t fared even worse. s
 Royal S. Copeland, carna- tion-wearing chairman of the Senate Commerce committee, twice has tried to jam it through the chamber but each time the strength of the oppo- sitiOn scared him so that he hastily withdrew the bill.
 This is the situation the ship lobby is seeking to remedy un- dercover of the water power hullabaloo.
 It hopes to be able to bring /up the bill in an unguarded moment; jam 1t through the Senate berore its numerous foes can unlimber their well-loaded guns.
 The background situation on the legislation Is complicated by a curious inner Administration conflict.
 President Roosevelt has inc dicated sharp disapproval of the bill. But his Secretary of Go m m rec, smooth.talking Dan Roper, is giving 1t his open support.

Mayor Charles c. Swartz of Norwalk finds his duties as State Comptroller too arduous to permit him to continue as chief executive. He will not be candidate to succeed himself he announced this week. He has already shown a preference for George Cooke, Federal Housing Commits sioner in Norwalk. Some months back Mayor Swartz was subjected to consider able criticism for holding two position, mayor and comptroller. But after all the people elected him to the two positions, so we should say that the official was quite competent to make his own choice in this matter.

Selected Poem
LATE FLOWING

tAgnes Kendrick Gray in the Christian
 Science Monitor) In stark design against golden sky A plow-horse and his master mount the hill cutting the red clay furrows clean and true. The evening air is still The sunset deepens into breathless light, And while the western clouds dissolve and change The yellow moon at full floats up and burns Above the mountain range Perhaps the plowman driving in the dusk Is unaware of and moon and cloud Only intent that falling night shall find The last field corner plowed. Yet it may be he loves the sky that glows Like New Jerusalem's gold and jasper gate I cannot read his heart-but this remains. That he is blowing late.

Last nights mass meeting at which plans were discussed by various speakers for objecting to persecution of Jews and Catholics in Germany was a striking les- son in the force of public opinion against oppression. The history of the Jewish race and the Catholic religion is replete with instances of persecution. Both now might find themselves united in the com- mon cause of war on oppression.
