Beautiful Tableaux; Splendid
Music

Beautiful tableaux scenes of the
Nativity were enhanced by splendid
choral numbers sung by the Main
Street Choir at the Christmas pro-
geant given in the Junior High
School auditorium last week Wed
nesday evening. A large audience
enjoyed the program. Solo parts
and chorus numbers were excellent
ly rendered, and reflected great
credit on Supt. w. A. Kohl, the
leader. Presentation Of the tableaux
numbers was under the direction
of Miss Helen Henkels, and the
various scenes were presented by
students of the first six grades.
The tableaux numbers coincided
with the chorals sung by the chorus
of thirty voices. The program in its
entirety was beautiful and it de-
served the great amount OF favor
able comment it received from the
audience.

Scared lLittIle Natio,nrs RI

Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands has just dedicated" her country to a new rearmament program for stronger defense. Both the German and Belgian frontiers have already been strengthened. It is proposed now to increase the army and navy 50 per cent. This is typical of the recent attitudes of the small nations of that region. Alarmed by the growing anirnosity and threat of war among the big powers, Belgium, Switzerland, Hol- land and the Scandinavian group have abandoned their disarmament plans and diverted funds from social programs to defense
 In 1929 Denmark announced that it would abolish it's army and navy. It could not hope to compete in military prepared ness with its big neighborS Safety lay, its leaders argued, in complete demilitariza- tion, complete neutrality, minding it's own business, devoting the nations energy and resources to promoting the general welfare In 1886 the government felt compelled to reverse that program gram and resume military defense meas ureS.
 So it has gone with others of that group of enlightened small nations that wanted to concentrate on peace, trade and so- cial progress. Possibly they can protect themselves if another great war breaks out. More likely, in spite of costly pre- paredness, they will be the victims of the war juggernaut.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-04
The Record Or Vague Promises

the critics of Mayor Hayes told us how they can or will make any change for the better in these depart ments? Not a word.
 Take a little trip through our streets, as Judge Mascolo suggested the other night, look at Exchange Place, East Main Street, Willow Street and others. True it is that all the work isn't done yet, but it soon will be, and isn't it something to be proud of?
 We do not think there is another city in Connecticut that can show so large tax reduction and so many public improvements in the last few years, as our own city. It is some. thing to point to with pride, not to find fault with. ..,
 It isn't party issue at all, there is no Republican ticket. If you don't believe this, look it over, certainly no Republican should feel any obliga- tion, out of loyalty to his party, to vote the ticket deceitfully labeled Republican,; and we know that very many of them feel that way. And we also know, as does everyone else, that hundreds and hundreds of jobs have been promised to gain SUD- port for the Independent Democratic ticket, by the leaders, ex-Democrats, who are really running the campaign.
 So, voters of Waterbury, that is the issue for you to decide. Use your reason and do not rely wholly on your emotions. And remember the fact which speaks the loudest of all and which no opponent has been able to or can contradict, the one-quarter reduction in the tax rate. No business concern would fire corps of com petent officials who had reduced their operating expenses 25% in a few years and substitute an inexperienced crowd whose only qualifications were indefinite promises. Nor do we think the voters of Waterbury will. Think it over.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-04

Tomorrow the voters of Water bury decide who shall be at the head of our city government, for the next two years, Mayor Hayes or Senator Cu1hane. The campaign has been an interesting one, but really the only definite issue is the record of the present city administration. Has it been good or bad? That is about all there is to it, for the packers of the Culhane ticket have offered no defi- mite or constructive suggestions. Only promises of the vaguest sort. No one has been able to pin them down to anything. They do not say how, when or where they will serve the city any better, or save any money.
 The Democratic administration clearly and definitely says that it stands upon it's record. And what is that record? Here are some things to be borne in mind and which can not be contradicted. They are clearly matters of record.
 A constant reduction of the tax rate, amounting since the administra- tion took office to substantially one- quarter. Isn't this something during the years of depression?
 A decrease in the bonded indebt- edness, as shown by the checking and the certificates of certified public ac- countants. They are not the figures of the administration alone. They are the conclusions of an independent authority that has examined the city's books and accounts. They are &C., countants of high reputation and would never certify to a statement that wasn't true. ...
 Unquestioned efficiency in our Po- lice and Fire Departments. Who can or will deny this? Go through our principal streets during the busy hours of the day and see how eff ciently our uniformed officers handle the heavy traffic. And when there is fire our companies are promptly on the spot, energetic and efficient. Have

A Thought for Today
Highway Progress

{. Speaking last week to engineers who had just inspected the newly constructed portion of the Merritt Parkway which will be opened to traffic this fall State
 Highway Commissioner John A. Mac donald indicated that before 1940 efforts
 would be made to remedy traffic condi-
 tions in the Naugatuck Valley. No sec tion of the state is subjected to such heavy truck traffic as is our own. And authorities have recognized this, for Com- missioner Macdonald stated last week that relief for the Naugatuck Valley must be provided.
 It was 1bitious program of high way develC nt that MT. Macdonald discussed. Not only are there plans for caring for the needs of the valley, but there are also plans for parkway expan- sion across the state in other directions, notably across the northern part of the state, carrying into Litchfield county from Hartford. We only hope by the time these plans are advanced to the stage where they can be put in operation the Legislature won't have cold feet and re- fuse to go along with them.
 It is proposed to seek permission and authority from the 1889 General Assem- bly, for such highway expansion plans as are now contemplated. By that time, too, probably something will be in the works for the $100,000,00 parkway that is to cut the state diagonally and be part of a super-road linking New York and Boston. We sincerely hope that when it comes time to do all this magnificent building, it won't be the poor motorist who will be forced to put his nose to the grindstone in the shape of new and higher assess mentS.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-04

Well, well, well. It's done. The state now has complete possession of the de- sired land for it's seashore park at Sher- wood Island in the town of Westport. The deal was completed last week with formal sale of 20 acres of land by realty com pany and eight individual owners to the State of Connecticut. We presume by this time the State Park and Forest Commis- sion is gloating in it's ownership. Well, it certainly ought to. It waited a long time to get this desirable shore-front property. It should be allowed to expand its chest in pride now that it has been accomplish ed and the state park can really be deveI- oped as it should and so that tkc'lsands O. people may derive benefit from it every year. We hope that Sherwood Island State Park becomes one of our best-known and most widely patronized resorts. It is, af- ter all, our oldest state park.
