Requests Still Pile Up

f H wasn't enough that there are so many new buildings required for the Statc Of Connecticut to carry on its work and services adeq 1ately, it is again called to the attention of our legislators that they have Aot dealt fairly with the teach CTS of this svate of recent years. That may be subject to debate, but the fact remains that the state has not kept its part of the bargain with regard to teachers pensions. In short while teachers have been contributing their share annually so that reserves might be main- tained, the state has not. It is now de- linquent $1 ,522,029.
 The state knows and realizes this. When it asked in 1882 that as an emergency" it be allowed to discontinue making it's contributions to the retirement fund.- it did so with the knowledge that this might imperil the future of the system unless efforts were made as soon as better times returned to reestablish the original agreement. Teachers continued to do- nate their per cent annually, at least those who belong to the retirement sys- tenn did. The state only has made bien- nial appropriations, but it has not set aside at the retirment of a teacher enough money to pay his or her pension for life as stipulated in the original agreement.
 Rather than risk the loss of pensions teachers are urging that the state now return to the original agreement so that the pension system may be conducted on permanent reserve basis. We don't blame them; neither should the legisla- tors. And we simply point out that to the many millions needed for building state hospitals, soldiers homes, sanatoria, etc., must now be added the million and half owed the teachers retirement fund.

Over My Dead Body

We can almost hear State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald saying that as he prepares to oppose measure in the Legislature this week which we know every city and town official will jump through hoops to support The bill calls for the highway department to cease it's practice of ordering all state blows to elevate their scrappers when passing through city or town, as they now do. For example, blow is proceeding along a state highway and comes to the line where state maintenance ends and town begins Up goes the scrapper and re- mains up until back on state highway once more.
 Of course, that enables the state blows to cover lot more miles of highway than it might if it kept the blows working right through the city and out onto the state highway again. In Waterbury it might mean that all East Main and West Main would be ploWed before the truck reached the highway it was supposed to service. Or it might mean some other street that local help is supposed to take care of had received attention from the state.
 There's no question about it, but what the highway department would have to dO lot of extra blowing if this bill should be approved by the legislative committee on roads, bridges, and rivers and then pass the Legislature. But we are willing to wager that sufficient fig tres and pressure will be brought to bear o1 the committee not to report the meas ure favorably. If the State Highway De- partment would take care of few city streets we'd be almost willing to say it deserved to get out from under this bit of legislation. &a

Postponed War

The almost daily crises which arise in Europe, threatening another World War, are fully as serious as they seem. Yet somehow, so far, each has been passed without the dreaded result. There may be several reasons for this. The most sbelligerent nations are not so ready for aggression as they know they must be to win. So they bluff >and bluster without actually, taking the final step.
 Another reason is suggested by young Rhodes scholar who, after completing his Oxford course, studied in other European countries and travelled widely before re- turning to the United States Conditions are just as bad and as dangerous in Europe today as they were in 1914, but :, with this differences "The people know < the danger now and are resisting it."
 It looks as if the lessons of 1914-18 had not been entirely forgotten. Hugh Bail lie, president of the United Press, recently returned from London, says: "The his tory of the last 18 months has shown us that wars are not so lightly entered into by major nations as they were prior to 1914. For many months now we have witnessed parade of international epi- sodes, any one of which might have been sufficient to start big war back in the days of the Kaiser" Is there not little hope in this situation? While the war makers delay, the peace-makers still have chance.

YANKEE WEATHER
(New Haven Journal Courier)

N@NS" AAAVSAA ODA@ As&A" OSAA A~AI
 "One of the outstanding features of New England's climate is its changeableness", says Phil E. Church in the current Yankee, though 1t isn't really news: "Only @ few people realize that these same in convenciencing weather antics are helpful to them. That last state- ment, of course, is somewhat more novel to most New Englanders; who have had far too much funcursing the weather and secretly taking pride in its didoes to comprehend it's therapeutic properties. Church then proceeds ca popularized re- cital of pretty much what Profess sor Huntington of the University has been telling us all along. Changeableness. it seems. keeps the blood moving and also the brains.
 We believe all that, of course, for it's so obviously true, once you stop to think of it. Professor Hunting ton has compiled a fascinating map showing the distribution of civiliza- ton on the earth. Te United States Is square in the middle of this belt of maximum culture. and our part of it is among the peaks. The countries following us closest are those which come nearest to weather like ours: and tho also- rans trail off in a descending scale where government. business. social habltude and indeed philosophy grade steadily down ~ the balm and ateadine6A of the weather rises. It all makes even February more en. durable.

Loan Racketeers

The Commissioner of Accounts of New York City, making detailed study of judgment against city employees, found that nearly per cent of them have gar nishment executions against their sal aries. Among these are highly paid off, ficials. Department of sanitation work CTS are first in the list, with policemen, firemen, sheriff's office employees and others following closely.
 The worst feature of the situation is that most of the judgments come from "unscrupulouS installment racketeers" 'jewelry lenders" and other loan sharks City employees are said to have become involved in these tolls because they do not know where money can be borrowed most cheaply" The result is that they borrow most expensively, mourning end less difficulties.
 Mayor La Guardia, in his usual ener- getic way, proposes to appoint a credit counselor to advise city employees in this matter. Such advice might help few borrowers avoid the usurers, but 1t would not get at the root Of the trouble and 1t wouldn't hel pa lot of other victims to

We note that State Highway Commis- sioner John A. Macdonald is asking bids for several stretches of the Merritt Park way. Also four bridges on the proposed new route in Fairfield County will be built soon, judging by the department indicate that work on the highway would continue despite recent criticism that the road and in particular its bridges are archaic, antique, and outmoded even be- fore they are built. Voiced by the designer of the Hutchinson River Parkway in Vest chester County, New York; this criticism evoked considerable comment in this state among high officials. We are surprised that there were no repercussions before this. And unless we miss our guess it will be brought up before this year has passed out of existence and we get into 1888 when the parkway is now scheduled to be opened for motorists.

BASKETBALL MUCKERIsM
(New Haven Journal Courier)


 Bert Keane, sports editor of The Hartford Courant notes a distine- grafton of the older notions of sportmanship at Connecticut basket ball games. This correspondent has listened to boos-yes, great big loud BOOS-directed at officials for call- ing fragrant fouls and at players who had been fouled and were att tempting to convert the free losses into points," Whats worse, "the boos have echoed from the rafters in scholastic gymnasiums, semi-pro- fessional halls and even in the col- leges?." Are you sure, MT. Keane, the colleges? But then, of course you are, for we've heard them there ourselves!
 What it all means we don't at- tempt to say, and neither does MT. Keane. Of course the whole ten dency of the day is against the older formalisms. Maybe the fel- lows who don't give up their seats to ladies on the buses; who don't take off their hats in the elevators, are part of the booing crowd. From one premise dearly beloved by every modern, the symptom of the boo would undoubtedly be hailed; we mean those bright young things who insist against dissemblement and want only candor all the time. If you don't like the winner, boo him down, they might argue; but they hardly convince the rest of us that sportsmanship is mere hypocrisy.

Stirring Tribute to Coast Guards
BY BRUCE CATION

Like so many other good things, we take the U. s. Coast Guard for granted. Not until someone complies it's full record do we realize what a remarkable organization 1t is, or how faithfully 1t serves us.
 The record has ben compiled in readable forrl by Karl Baarslag, in Coast Guard to the Rescue" (Far- rar and Rinehart: $2.50)), and the book is well worth couple of hours of your time.
 The coast guards slogan is "You have to go out-but you don't have to come back, and the organ ization lives up to 1t admirably. Over and over again, in MT. Baar- slag's record, one sees the coast guards taking risks with 8 quiet, ynspectacular fidelity to duty, a sort of inbred heroism, that is simply beyond praise.
 The coast guards functions, as MT. Baarslag outlines them,, are manifold: life-saving, ice patrol, law enforcement, destruction of derelicts salvaging of ships in distress, polio ing of remote waters, and so on. Annals of the organization contain some exploits that are fairly hair raising-and MT. Baarslag, a gra- phic writer, does them ample jus tjce.
 And you finish reading this book with new aspect for the fine things of which mankind is capable. For here we have @ great organiza- tion--supported by the taxpayers whose prime function is to make the sea safer, Go rescue the, dis tressed, to render services that or- dinary folk coud not do for them selves; and the organization does 1t with great efficiency, with admir- able bravery, not for gain but sim ply from fine conception of mans duty to his chosen job.
 A world that can support an out fit like that is not lost yet.

When the health department launches it's annual spring cleanup, it might be good time to check up on complaints from such sections as Waterville that there are no public dumps available for refuse. The city closed the dumps on Huntingdon Avenue recently and also the big one on Chase Avenue. Water vile people complained in the early win ter that they had no place to take their ashes and other debris and were forced to dump them in back-yards. Perhaps the spring cleanup will show where such dumping places may be located or where people are making them without any ones Say-So.
