According " special reports IN the

fiEtd county has finally completed plans

Judging by what we have been read.
ing In the papers 0f recent days the
spectacle in Hartford tomorrow may re.
solve itself into an approximation OF a
football contest, At least We presume that
the adherents Of both major political par
ties will be observing the participants IN
the proceeding 10 hold those lines. Party
lines are 10 be maintained at all costs
seems 10 be the motto OF the day, II
doesn't seem 10 be very good motto for
this year OF 1887, Ammo D0mini. We need
less adherence and more conference right
now.
What the people OF Connecticut expect
and want from the legislators who gather
at Hartford for four or five month ses-
sion are results, There are many In the
0ffing 10 be attained only by cooperation
and foresight. We hope that party lead
efs will see beyond the horizon on just
tomorrow. We could cite long list OF
important pending measures, but the
news columns have been filled with them
for days. Suffice II 10 say the financial
status OF the state must summon from
every legislator all the ability at his com.

greater responsibility. II IL newly come
into power, Republicans will be wait,
ing and watching for mistakes. The
party cannot afford 10 make them;
neither can IL afford 10 jgn0re the PRES"
ehce OF minority party If republicans
are going 10 consider VI alselyes In this
category. What must be done this year
in Hartford is not for the advancement
OF any one political party but for the
state at large All will benefit or mons
by the good laws coming out OF the
legislative hopper,

Message OF Confidence

The annual message OF Mayor Frank
Hayes 10 the Board OF Aldermen last night
was confident one one that feckohsd
with the future and saw the days 10 CONS
dealing kindly and Df6spFf6Isly with the
citizens OF Waterbury, AS IN the past
Mayor Hayes was quick 70 point out the
accomplishments recorded during The
past year as we'll AS the setbacks, We
can be extremely thankful here in Wa
terbury that in the latter class there we're
few. Our city fathers have made no mis-
takes, they have proceeded along The
theory that 10 err these days Is costly.
Attention was called ~ the tact that
this is the first time the Hayes admins"
tfatioh has not dropped the tan rate, but
explanation tor this Is easily forthcoming
and has been dealt With IN these columns
on several previous occasions, The Health
Department wins the merit that II should
for It's enyiabif record, Waterbury
should take exceptional pride IN the tact
that this department has been eyer
active ~ protect the lives and health OF
every citizen from the multitude Of Ills
and ailments that 80 often affect Wh0le
communities, High praise, indeed, should
be bestowed on those responsible tor our
continued good health,
The matter OF securing legislative per-
mission 10 refund city bonds Is one pre-
yioHsiy discussed by this paper. II Is
nothing new 10 Waterbury, but is finanr
cfaI faeans adopted by BUSINESS corpora
tians 10 aid bond redemption, No oblec~
ton can be raised at This tine, Mayor
Hayes also pointed out that tan collec-
ti0ns are showing better returns, That
il the best indication anybody could ask
6f better times All IN all The mayors
message viii be well received. II contains
no rash promises, no eztfayagant claims,
II Is simply stated and is a lucid ezposl~
lteB OF the eity's affairs,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-01-05

does II protest against the huge sum,
about one billion dollars, eaFmaFked s0F
national defense IN the next budget. In
spite Of our large and still rising national
debt, people realize that with the world
IN IT. present unsettled state we must
continue armed, particularly by sea, as
long as the other powers refuse 10 disarnp,
And hard as IL Is on our pocketbooks, we
can afford II better than they can.
Increasing numbers Of Americans,
though, find themselves wondering
whether II Is wise 10 spend 30 much
money on huge battleshipg and 30 little
comparatively on the air service, At time
when military aviation Is making such
rapid progress. The new battiesbips are
expected 10 cost far more than ever be-
fore, about 800 900, 900 apiece. A power
fui air fest could be built for that money,
For our purposes, which are almost wholly
home defense, many experts think we can
buy fn0re protection, dollar for dollar, in
the air than on land or water.

The report OF Police Chief Roach show
ing that almost 5000 tags wefe handed
out for illegal parking in 1895 Is an inter
esting one, Some student OF statistics
could probably show that fully rs many
tags rs this wefe withheld in 1885 out OF
kindness OF ths patfolmah's hsaft, How.
eyer, IL Is noticeable that there are feWef
tags being issued and thsn "kilied" today
than thefE were few years back. That's
probably a good thing, for II one man
realizes that his friend doesn't hays 10
pay for tag, but he does, trouble Is soon
bffWfd, The activities Of the police in
cheeking illegal parking have not been
obnoxious, The regular drives against
pafkffs wefe usually pretty effective in

CHILD TROUPER
PREFERS DOLLS

NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-Peggy
Romano doesn't want to be an
actress. She wants to be o doll
manufacturer, because she loves
dolls and because she is just eight
years old. But Peggy is a trouper
like her mother and her late
father. Charles Romano.
80 I am going to appear in
the show, Virginia which is
rehearsing here and will open
Soon," Peggy said today, back
stage at the Center Theater in
Rockefeller Center. MY father
died as he was rehearsing the
part Of Captain Somerset in it.
SO, they thought it would be nice
to have me play q part.
I played with father in The
Great Waltz and 1 loved that.
He wanted me to be a sort of
shirley Temple. He always
laughed and said he was % years
Old. But I know he died at 80.
! would so much like to do what
he and mother would like me to,
but, although I have lived in
hollywood, I couldn't stand the
movies. They are so phony,"
