It's been quite few days now since we last heard from the Merritt Highway. Wonder if after all the fuss and bother Fairfield county is going to let this much discussed project drop out or sight. We don't suppose, though that the State Highway Department will lessen it's ef- forts. Right from the start the depart ment maintained fairly even pace with regard to construction of the road It proved just a bit too slow for the Fair field county boys and as a result we now have $15,000,000 bond issue in the offing, this sum, however, representing only part of the total cost of construction. In these days a $20,O00,00O highway would, in this writer's estimation, consti- tute luxury, but we refrain from throw ing any hindrances in the path of con- struction of the road. If it isn't built pretty soon, something will give or some- body will burst blood vessel.

WHY CHANGE? WRITES REPUBLICAN DISSATISFIED

Waterbury, Conn. .... Oct. 3, 1885. Editor of The Democrat:
 Where will we find man more honorable, upright and more in sympathy with our financial diffi- culties than Mayor Hayes?
 He is the soul of honor and what he states is the truth.
 From what l nave gained, (not mentioning the hundreds of others he has kelped) his wise-counsel has helped me and many who have needed it.
 Did. the republicans try to help me? No!
 When I asked one of your repub- lican aldermen for work for, my son, what was l told? He was not heavy enough, and still, week or so later, that same honorable re- publican hired two young men, not nearly as heavy who, were re- p blicans, and had other means of g pport. while my husband has been without employment nearly 4 years due to illness.
 have always been a republican, but have observed that they are not .n sympathy with the working clas:.

 Mayor Hayes Is the man.

Saw Reds Busy Even In Nazi Prison Camp
 BY BRUCE CAPTION

Enough books have been print ed about the Nazi concentration camps to stock a fair-sized library. by now; and Rubber Truncheon," by Wolfgang Langhof, is worth reading, not because it records frightful brutalities, but because it shows how Nazi discipline af- fleets the mental attitude of pris- oners and keepers alike.
 Langhof was an actor in Dussel- dorf. His offense seems to have been an incautious friendship with certain radicals; at any rate, lie was thrown out ofter the Reich stag fire, and was locked up for an extended period in a concen- tration camp near the Dutch bor- der.
 In this book he shows how this camp actually served to cement the feeling of solidarity and de- termination among the class-con- scious prisoners. A Communig- tic organization was set up and operated in the camp itself.
 Plans were laid for anti-Nazi action ;and while they were weak, hopeless plans, they did serve to foster the spirit of rebellion and to keep alive the very thing which the camp was supposed to crush.
 The author traces. also. the slow disillusionment of the storm troopers themselves. Slowly these AA prison camps were full of ordinary workingmen, instead of the prof. teers and politicians who were to have been punished.
 They began to fraternize with their prisoners, to talk revolution with them-and, in the end, the police and to turn out to keep the storm troopers from rebellion. Rubber Truncheon" is one more interesting sidelight on the German revolution. Published by Dutton, 1t sells for $2.50.

The Difference

They gave everything and asked little in return, And in that lies the essential and un- bridgable difference between them and the office boy editors of the Pape-lican press, who give nothing and demand everything. Only the newcomer to city re- gards as valueless the good name of the place which tolerated his residence in it. Only the man without social background de- spises the possession of it in oth- CTS. Only the upstart parvenu of the present sneers at the glory of the past. Only the office boy editor of the American could be guilty of reprinting the comment from the Manchester Herald on the local city campaign. apol- ogize to the readers of this col umn for calling attention to 1t.

'Many years ago Waterbury achieved far fame for the ex. traordinary tOughness of that among It's purlieus which bore the incxplicable titlc of The Abrieador.

Five years ago he was asked to resign as professor of history at Princeton, and came to the State Department to look for job. Assistant Secretary Castle whom he interviewed, asked him: z.
 "Whom do you know around hcre?"
 "Well," replied Green after some hesitation, 'I know Mir. Hoover"
 That might help" smiled Mir. Castle. How well do you know him?" @
 Green then told how he was assisting Hoover in Belgium dur ing the World war when er- roneously accused by German army officers of espionage. Hoover investigated the charge, found it completely groundless, went to bat for his assistant in a big way, and forced the Ger man officers to retract. ,
 MT. Hoover, at the time Green applied to Castle. was occupying the White House. Green got his job.
 Lucky Joe
 When MT. Hoover left the White House in 1883, naturally Joe Green was bit jittery. He talked at great length to news papermen about the sanctity of the career service. And through some whim of fate he remained unnoticed by MT. Farley.
 By this time, Green had begun to specialize on the subject of munitions. In fact he was the State Department official who OK'd the departure of four bombing planes for South Amer ica, which his superiors later grounded in Peru as violators of the Bolivian-Paraguayan arms embargo.
 But because Mir. Hull had no one else who knew anything about munitions, he continued to lean on Mir. Green; took him along while appearing before committees of congress when che Neutrality Act was under discussion.
 One day during this discuss sion, ncwspapcrmen covering the State Department rushed word 10 Joe Green that the Neutrality Act Gin the form opposed by the State Dcpart- ment had just passed the Senate.
 "Oh mo-" replied Green, "that couldn't be so. I was just up talking to thcn."
 JOc Is now the State De- partTlcnt official chiefly re. sponsiblc for the adminlstra. tion of the Neutrality Act. Project Editors"
 There has been marked change recently in the descrlp- tion of Work-Relief projects given in official press releases. The titles have become sonorous and important.
 Reason is that the wise-cracls- ing about boon-doggling and leaf-raklng got under the skin of the White House. So one day Steve Early, presidential press secretary, called up Harry Hop- kins and demanded a change.
 Tho WPA boss turned the job over to some of his bright young assistants. They evolved the plan for creating a staff Of project editors" to go over the titles of State and local Work-Rclicf projects and eliminate anything savOring of bOOn-doggling.
 Tine result has been some fancy word juggling.
 For example: A New York city item listed as 'recreational facilities for internes and nurses was metamorphosed into "pro- ject in adult education" An Ohio project designated as stump and underbrush remov- aF' became development of park and recreation area" In southern county project for the construction of out-houses was transformed to: "canitation Improvements"

The Abrigador

It was once known as "The Abrigador" and from the Abri- gador came many of the greatest characters the city has ever known or will ever know. They were almost entirely of Irish stock and they contributed to the life of the city the finest gifts of the Irish heart, the Irish head, and the Irish soul. They were strangers from a land afar off where the ideals they wor- shipped with an unquenchable devotion, Justice and Freedom, were unknown. They were grate- full for the new home they had found and they proved the quail ity of their gratitude by giving. to that home type of citizenship which is beyond the ken >of the office boy editors of the Pape- lican press. The Irish who lived on the Abrigador. their children, and their children's children GAVE to Waterbury. They gave of their energy. They gave of their fierce eagerness for a larger life than that which they had been forced to live abroad. They gave of their ceaseless craving for the education, the culture, and the advancement which they had been denied for centuries. They ANIMATED Waterbury. Their lives were inconspicuous, devoted family lives, regulated by the religious observation of the human and the divine law. They worked hard, they played hard as becomes men, and when at the end of their simple days they died, they left to their fam flies an example of true citizen- ship to be followed and a record of fine achievement to be emu lated.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-04
Still the Same

The essential sturdinesS of character that made the Abri- gador an invaluable contributor to the development of Waterbury still survives and flourishes on Washington Hill. The refusal to be patronized by their interiors that marked the settlers of the Abrigador is just as strong in the present residents. They know their friends even as did the "Abrigadorians." They know genuine regard from fake esteem. Tho name of the section has been changed it Is true but Washing ton Hill is still the Abrigador in the very best sense. Its spirit is the same. And by the same token so is its just anger when aroused by such unmitigated in- suit as the Americans reprint of the Manchester Herald's clipping. It preserves its political "tradi- tions." One of them is to stick to their proven friends. Another Is to the punish their defamers.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-04
No Excuse

Washington Hill is the Abri- gador under an altered name. It is still the dwelling place of many of the descendants of those Irish pioneers who settled it even though the office boy editor of the American thinks warranted for quotation a description which pictures them as cousins and uncles and aunts of Fiji Island- CTS. The A m eri c a n thought enough of the Manchester Her aids libel to reprint 1t. Any paper really interested in Water bury would have denounced it.
 We may be prepared in view of the Pape-lican eagerness to re- peat the canard, to read in Connecticut state papers that a head hunter from Scovill's Bridge has been arrested while drying out the skull of a neigh boring tribesman from Magill street.

The Real Culprit
 I have not the energy nor the time to treat the Manchester scribe-perhaps I should say pharisee-as he should be treat ed. old time residents of New England are familiar with simi- lar expressions of social and cul- tural snobbery from the products of ciassless educational institu- tlons located in the tall grass of Americas hinterland. The most charitable characterization of the writer of the cheap slur re- printed (with renewed apol- ogies) below Is that he is just the victim of invincible iSnor- ance.
 But the office boy editor of the American knows better. He should by this time have ac- quired, if only by friction, some knowledge of the history of the city from which he gets his liv- ing and some sense of appreci- ation for that city's oldest folk.

them during the day. Even the
iovial Theodore Dammeyer. board
president, has been seen lately NUT
tering threats.
1t all started when the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly de-
cided that from now on the city
would have to pay for the treatment
given people bitten by dogs. Be-
fore that time the state had paid for
the anti-rabies serum.
If it was going to cost the city
money every time some citizen got
a chunk taken out of the calf of
his leg, the smart thing to do was
to get the stray animals off the
streets. Mayor John w. Kern start
ed such a drive three months ago.
Now the dog pound isn't very
big building. and when you start
drive and put 400 assorted hounds
in the place-well, it seems like a
lot of dogs.
