Let's Be Hopeful

We sincerely trust and hope that the winter and spring of 1888 do not bring to Connecticut the same type Of flood waters which caused so much destruc- ton in 1886. We were fortunate this wear in that the annual freshets in the Connecticut river valley failed to reach the proportions of the preceding year. Of course we may never in our lifetime have a repetition of 1886, but on the other hand we might have successive floods just as bad or worse. Scientists tell us that until reforeStation reaches a certain level and loss of valuable sur face soil can be prevented, floods are apt to veX us.
 We say all this because we feel that flood protection for the Connecticut river valley is far, far away. Congress adjourned without approving the four state pact whereby storage reservoirs would have been built high up in the Vermont and New Hampshire hills to inn pound waters that would cause property loss and death farther down the valley The plan did not meet with administra- ton approval because it failed to take into consideration power rights. Natur- ally IllS AOuk oVatSS WSASAA SS SSAASSAHASS about them as they were flood control.
 However, no system of flood control is evidently going to be inaugurated in this country right away unless consid- eration is also given the generation of electric power under state or federal management. That was the nub of the rejection of the New England plan by Washington officials after the war de- partment engineers had drawn up all the plans and the four states had ap- proved 1t. And with such rejection it Is highly improbable that the plan, re- gently advanced, to have the four states concerned attempt the project on their own accord, even if all legal difficulties were adjusted, can succeed
 Washington isn't going to let any state or group of states put such an ann bilious plan into execution without first sewing up the power rights. And that's something that we're not concerned with at the moment. We believe that flood control is the primary interest and should motivate all action locally, state- wise, and by the federal government

How About e Little Drive?

If you happen to be out driving during the Labor Day weekend and your drive takes you into the state of Pennsylvania; and if you have radio turned on in your auto and tuned in at the right station, then you will learn via the air about the traffic situation. You will be told that Highway 6 is overcrowded, as is Highway 422, and you will be advised to turn off at the junction of Highway 8 and proceed IT miles westward where Highway 94 is much less congested, although not in as good repair.
 Pennsylvania will employ six state- owned airplanes during the Labor Day weekend to help untangle its traffic sit- uation. The planes will fly over the main highways and report back to broadcast ing stations on the relative over-stuffed conditions of various roads. The broad casting stations then will go on the air with words to motorists, advising in most instances of less frequented roads. When those are all filled up, presumably, the country lanes will get turn.
 All-White loudspeaker autos will tour the roadways to worry the poky drivers and hike them up to a 30-mile-an-hour speed, warning them at the same time not to go over 50. If you don't happen to be in Pennsylvania, as is quite likely, then you will just have to ferret out the traffic jams and the crowded highways for yourself, which shouldn't be too diff ficult. It really doesn't make a great deal of difference. Neither traffic jams nor detours are conducive to the most enjoyable of holidays
 It all boils down to the simple sum that taking the family out for drive over the Labor Day weekend is not only hazardous enterprise, but ar unenioy- able one. Without counting the several hundred persons who will be killed or maimed in auto accidents in the United States during those few days, the cost in strained nerves and tempers from acci- dents that almost happen will be terrific Think of the thousands of wrong hand signals that will be given, of the guy who always insists on pulling out of line, Of the screeching brakes, of the irascible traffic cops and of the roadside inn that has sold out of chicken dinners long be- fore you get there.
 Maybe the best idea is to have picnic in the backyard with homemade ice cream and watermelon preserves. Or pray that 1t rains gully-washer.

Automobile drivers had better start re- hearsing old Dr. Coue's recipe for suc- cess early this week. Labor Day is com. ing with it's customary holiday highway traffic toll. It may be recalled that both Memorial Day and the Fourth of July this year brought death and accident tolls that were lower than previous ones. The good record should be continued this weekend. Officials would like to see a new record established. It isn't impos- sible to eliminate accidents entirely, al- though many may think so. That merely requires the extreme in caution by every driver on the highways and every pedes- trian crossing them.

Must Work Both Wave


 Much has been made of a recent pro. test voiced by New Britain city officials over the fact that there is a long waiting list of tubercular patients in New Britain, unable to get admission to the various state sanatoria. The same condition pre- vails in Waterbury at the present time we learned several months ago when an ef- fort was made for the steenth time to interest the state in the unused 1sola. tion Hospital on Watertown Avenue, At one time 1t was used as waiting station for local patients who were on the wait. ing list at the Sanatoria.
 The state Sanatoria are among the var ious institutions that will benefit in the coming biennium under the big building program adopted this year But officials are pointing out that in many instances the capacity of the institutions are not being expanded. The money that is to be spent on them will build quarters fol employees. This is regarded, evidently as unwiSe in the face of waiting lists ip many cities and towns. At first glance it might seem unwise, but anyone fanil jar with the situation knows differently.
 Up to now everything has been done for the benefit of the inmate in the r1a ture of new buildings, modern equip ment, etc. But to administer an institu- tion of this type qualified help is also re- quired. Doctors, nurses, orderlies, and laborers must be hired and must be cared for. Their needs in the past have been pushed to the background and 1t is only of recent years that efforts have been made to take care of them. Surely If the sanatorium'S own personnel IS over- looked, what can be expected of the patients themselves? They don't get well. just lying in bed without proper atten' tion
 A survey of quarters assigned to off, cials and help in general at state insti' tutions might convince even the harshest critic of the present building program that the thousands to be spent in provid- ing proper living quarters for the enl- ployes is warranted. And people should remember, too, that 48-hour week has been instituted in all state institutions, which not only increases the payroll, but makes necessary the addition of several hundred new employees. Criticism of the building program can be brought, per- haps, but we think this is one instance where it may be misdirected,

Closing of two state CCC camps is a serious blow to the State Park ana Forest Commission. No branch of the state gov- ernment has benefited more by the pres ence of the CCC camps in Connecticut than this one. And naturally the benefits accruing to the department go to the res- idents of the state, for they enjoy the wider areas of state parks and forests that are made available. There has been a steady reduction of CCC camps in the east in the last year and we hope that sooner or later level will be reached. While there may be need of more camps in other areas of the country, still in such thickly populated regions as New Eng land you can't eliminate too many and still attain results. We could make a page-long list of the many splendid things that the eco boys have done for this state. Some day history will be compiled and 1t will be impressive.

40kS bO 0AAJ farther commenting on the blurb for the so-called Merit System contained in this particular re lease I would like to say something about "The March of Time" flea. ture itself. I have looked ct its various output since 1t first became part, of motion picture theater programs. In the beginning It struck me as an excellent Idea with we'll made, interesting pie lures and despite the fearful voice and blatant vociferousress of the broadcasting gent who interprets the "shots" screened, something well worth viewing. But after the second issue 1t seemed to me to be departing from its original pur- pose of impartially revie wing world happenings, sometimes against the background of the past, and was becoming nothing more nor less than . propaganda me" dlum for certain political and soc ciaI elements. That impression has been strengthened as each suc- cessive issue was thrown on the picture sheet. The one shown here from August 25th to August 2eth has crystalized my impression into a conviction. "The March of Time" from being a fascinating review of world events has degenerated so far as can see into 6 special
 pleader for special interests. Take It's picturization of the "spoils sys- tenn" in politics which MT. Brodie recommended as an argument TOT the so-called Merit system.

Boiled down the Idea sought to be impressed on the audience was that any candidate for public ofilce while publicly campaigning for good government was secretly plotting against it. What particu- larly struck me was the name, and evident race, of the featured poli-. tician, r. x. McGONNtGLE, who prated on the stump his deter- mination to destroy vicious ad. mlnistratlon of public affairs but who, in the backroonn of Q saloon over Q scuttle of beer, was busily engaged taking care of the poll. ticaliy faithful in the matter Of jobs at the peoples expense. Now there may be Mc0onnigles who are not either Irish or of Irish descent. l have not met them nor heard of them. Neither have known the initials r. x. to stand for anything but St. Francis xa. yier, the Jesuit apostle to the Indies." I can conceive of c Nc. 0onnigle whose family roots and racial strain runs back to the mountains of Carpathia. But ! cannot conceive of . McGOnnigle whose initials F. x. stood for Frederick Xenophon or for Fer. dlnand Xantlppe. The inescapsble effect was that r. x. McGonnigle, ''The March of Times" liar, poli- teal faklr, hypocrlte, cheat. black. guard, eorruptlonlst and arch.type Of everything low and despicable in public life was Irish and that he belonged to the religious per- suaslon to which Irishmen south an west of Belfast, generally ad- here. To me. who thank God. am neither thin n-skinned, nor seeing ofiense when none is intended nor racialiy and religiously hyper-sen- sitive. the personification of the political parasite in "The March of Times" plea for the so-called Merit System as an Irish Catholic named Francis Xavier Mc0on. niele. was an appeal to the most nefarious, the most vicious. and the most reprehensible kind of racial and religious blgotry l have encountered In long time.
