The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-10
In The Field Early

The first real political declaration of the 1887 campaign in Waterbury came Thurs day night when Mayor Frank Hayes accepted the offer of Town Chairman John H. Crary to lead the party at the polls again. Already elected for four successive terms his election this fall would give Mayor Hayes an envlable record in local politics. No mayor has ever been returned to office for five Suc- ceSsive terms.
 Political observers have been waiting for just some such espousal of candidacy from members of the Hayes administra- tion. The testimonial banquet given City Sheriff Angelo Nardona was an oppor- tune moment for it to be made. It comes during the height of the legislative ses- son with Mayor Hayes in his official posi- rion as Lieutenant-governor presiding over the daily meetings of the State Senate. It comes, too, at time when there is and has been much speculation on the attitude ot the administration towards the 1887 election.
 Thursday nights statements by Mayor Hayes, Chairman Crary, and also by Con- Iroller Daniel J. Leary leave no doubt of their intentions and plans for this year and the rapidly-approaching election. They will be in the fight and in to win naturally. This should be good news to democrats throughout the city, as it ends definitely any thoughts of the admins tration setting up successor to Mayor Hayes. It may be regarded, too, as fairly certain that all members of the present Hayes administration will be in the field with their chief.
 He seems destined to set political his- tory this summer and fall

Congrats, Uncle Toby!

Congratulations will shower on Cover nor Wilbur l. Cross today from every part of the state; from every part of the nation Elected for four successive terms to the highest office in our state he con- tinues to wax as the days pass and his nge increases Having reached the fine age of 75 today he may well pause and look back over life of extreme useful ness Truly Wilbur L. Cross has given his best years to the state.
 Some one may say how is that, for he has only been governor since 1881, when he first assumed the gubernatorial robes. We'll, in his long years down at Yale University he was doing good for thou sands of Connecticut boys, too, giving them a firm foundation in the subjects entrusted to his department. During his schoolmaster days he strengthened many character, laid out many life's course.
 Since coming to the governorship Will bur Lucius Cross has proved himself to be popular politically, as we'll as most capable of holding his own in the arena with those who have made it their life's business. For man who stepped from the school desk to the political rostrum he did it's as completely successful as any man we know ot Connecticut can in- deed be proud of her four-times governor. Let everyone pause long enough today to cry, "All hail the Chief! Long life!"

Food and Years

We now know enough about health and nutrition, according to pr. Henry c. Sherman, professor of chemistry at Co., lumbia University, to increase the aver age life span at least seven years. It used to be said that the way to achieve long life was to pick out long-lived grand parents. Heredity is no longer regarded as the principal factor in longevity. Proper nutrition is also essential, not merely to longer life but to "buoyant health" for the added years.
 This theory puts good deal of re- sponsibility on the meal-planner of the family. Tn the everyday choice of food" :" says the authority, i've are dealing with values above price for the health and eff ficiency, duration and dignity of human life" The low purchasing power of large numbers of people prevents taking full advantage of the new knowledge.
 The. theory puts responsibility on all of us. If we are to live more years we will want to live them with satisfaction. To save ourselves from boredom we will have to improve education and recreation and cure the social and economic ills which so often make old age miserable and tragic.

Spring Fishing

A nature lover, wandering along a charming little stream one of these early spring days, came upon several fishermen and their families sitting on the bank ostensibly fishing. He asked one of them what kind of fish he expected to catch. The answer was that de did not expect to catch any at all.
 That's what spring does to us. We have to get outdoors and do something. Some of us make gardens. Some of us ramble in the fields or woods and look at wild-flowers or listen to birds. And some of us play at fishing, with no hard feelings toward the fish.
 It's mostly a need for the serenity of the quietly flowing stream and chance to dream and mediate. Hauling in . fish now and then probably eases some finger ing conscience-pricks. Without the poles and an occasional catch, the spring fisherman might seem to be loafing.

reasons. Justice Roberts pointed out, In his dissenting opinion, that this action will get up tax exemptions for millions of employees.
 Apparently it will, if not changed. Already vast numbers of public servants are exempted from federal taxes, includ- ing nearly everybody working for or paid by any branch of federal, state or local government. Obviously 'the govern ment" is going to be a much broader term hereafter than it ever has been. More and more people are destined to be in public employ. They are usually regarded as fortunate in their jobs, even though their salaries may not be large If none of them can be taxed for the s1p- port of governmental agencies, the rest of the people will have great and growing burden of taxation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-10

We can imagine that cities and towns will go in big way for the proposed state law on falls on defective sidewalks, whereby the municipality or town would be exempt from suits. It is hardly likely that the Legislature will pass any such law, but we can just picture officials fighting to get it passed. It would save their governments plenty of money annu- ally. Right now Waterbury has law whereby it is exempt from suits for falls on icy sidewalks, but this concession was secured solely because of the city's hilly nature. As to sidewalk defects most of the cities will have to check them to pre- vent actions

There is much ado about the Green these days. It's going to be divided in two, so that the c. R. & L. Company may use it for bus parking. It's also going to be used for automobile parking, so that free central site will be available to thou sands of motorists. Neither of the proj- ects will appeal to the average man who still takes some pride in his city and who regards the Green as inviolable A few years ago there were similar proposals and there was even an engineers draw ing of street across the Green, linking Leavenworth and Prospect Streets, but when it came right down to digging into the sacred soil of the Green, well, that was different thing. We rather imagine the same feelings will prevail now If the Green has been preserved all these years, and preserved rather well, too, it will take a revolution at least to cut it up in strips to make parking places in it.

The tremendous appeal of motoring right now must be taking it's toll in many ways. We're not referring now to high way casualties, but how about shoes? Certainly shoe leather must be lasting longer today than it did in the days when every man and woman walked to and from work; to the store; to church; and to call on friends in the evening Few do this today; they take their car in- stead Surely it must make some differ ence in shoes alone

A Book a Day
No Buffalo in Bas-Relief Has First Escalators
BY BRUCE CATION

In the great Tennessee Valley project Americans are doing job which has a profound and far- reaching significance they them selves do not understand. All things considered, 1t is probably one of the most fateful experiments being con- ducted in the world today.
 So says an alert journalistic Frenchwoman, Odette Keun, in a provocative little book entitled "A Foreigner Looks at the IVA" N,ong- mans, Green $l.25).
 The ignorance of Europeans con- cerning America, says Mime. Keun, Is appalling. It was to help remove a bit of that ignorance that she visited America; arriving, she found herself completely bewildered by the nations contrasts and contradic- tions. Not until she visited the valley did she see ray of light that might be a signpost for the future.
 For IVA to Mime. Keun, repre- sents an effort ito adjust capital ism to the present realities and the actual trends of thought" - an effort which, if 1t succeeds, may actually provide the blueprint for a solution of the seemingly insolu- ble problems of the day.
 The worlds chief question today, she continues. is whether these problems can be settled peacefully, in . middle -the-road manner. If any people can find that solution, she believes, Americans can; 1t is he- thesis that in the IVA they are finding, 1t, putting 1t into operation, demonstrating that 1t can and does work.
 You will find this slim book, ex- citing and thought-provoking. You may not agree with all that Is in 1t, but you will find 1t well worth raadinn

Answers To Questions
By Frederick M. Kerby

o. Which states require only one license plate on 8 motor vehicle?
 A. Arkansas, Florida and Mis- sissippi.
 O. What is the Jewish Passover?
 A. A feast in commemoration of the night when the Lord, smiting the first born of the Egyptians, passed over" the houses of the children of Israel. It is celebrated during the full moon of Nissan. By extension, 1t includes the entire fes- tival of seven days following the paschal supper.
 o. What is the origin of the be- lief that oysters should be- eaten only in the months whose names contain an r?
 A. It probably dates back to medieval times. There IS an old Latin phrase. "Mensibus cratic vos ostrea rnanducatis," meaning "Oy- sters should be eaten only in certain months" which would indicate that they were seasonal with the Romans. Oysters harvested during the sum- mer months are entirely edible, and many people living along the sea- coast eat them at that time. Their non-use during the summer in early times, no doubt, was due to the fact that, lacking proper refrigeration, it was somewhat difficult to trans port fresh oysters far from produc- tion centers, and to the fact that oysters taken from many localities are not as solid and plump in sum- mer, which Is the spawning season.

married sister, Mrs. Emma 0uffey Miller, who is democratic national Committeewoman for Pennsyl- vania and one of the most effec- tive stump speakers in her party.
 One of the best dressed men i'm Washington, Joe mingles in Washington society, but takes his senatorial duties very seri- ouly. He Is on the job all the time.
 His secretary, Richard Bailey has his desk, in Joe's private of flee. It is Q rare day when Bailey does not interview more than a score of callers and dis pose of several hundred letters.
 Joe's recreations are reading, fishing and hunting. He Is also fond of wandering about Mrs. Miller's large farm in Pennsyl- vania.
 An intensely loyal party man, Guffey has 8 100 per cent pro- Administration voting record. When two Pennsylvania demo- cratic congressman bolted the President on several issues last year, Joe exerted his influence against them in the primary and defeated them both.
 Joe is fond of telling stories about Wilson. One of his favoriteS is about a talk he had with the late President when he was head of Princeton. Wilson was seek ing support for tutorial system he proposed instituting and had explained his plan to Guffey.
 "As I understand it, profess sor," said Joe, "what you are trying to do is to create . cole lege of 800 thinking students"
 "Guffey," replied Wilson fer- vently, "give me 50 thinking students and I will revolut0inize the world"
 History Maker
 Joe's first appearance on the na- tional stage was in 1928, when he led 8 tremendous drive to carry rock-ribbed republican Pennsyl- vania for Al Smith. The effort failed, but 1t started movement that was to make political history eight years later.
 In 1892, he soured on Smith be- cause of his desertion of previous liberalism, Guffey threw his sup- port to Franklin D. Roosevelt. In fact, he was 8 powerful behind the-scenes force in Jim Farlcy's victorious fight ct the Chicago convention.
 Joe was firmly convinced that Roosevelt would carry Pennsyl- vania against Hoover. To this day he believes he did.
 Western Pennsylvania went heavily for Roosevelt, and he came to Philadelphia with over a 100000 majority. But the old Ware machine still controlled the City of Brotherly Love. When the results were an- n0unced Hoover had the lead by small margin.
 That was the last victory the fast-crumbling g. o. p. was to taste. Two years later, the demo- cratic ticket headed by Guffey for senator and George Earle for governor, swept into office. In 1886 they completed the job by capturing the staet legislature and 27 of the 34 congressional seats, piling up a majority of more than 500,000 for Roosevelt. Philadelphia alone gave Roose- welt 300.000-plus majority.

North American Unity

A remarkable evidence of Canadian sentiment toward the United States comes from London, Ont. A question naire sent out by IT university publica- tions to students all over the Dominion is reported to have brought this response: 'The majority of students advocated that Canada's war policy in the event of an- other world war should be 'pro-American' rather than pro British"
 The students were almost unanimous in denouncing conscription, says the dispatch; but if they were involved in an- other general war, they would rather go along with us than with the British. May the occasion never come! But the atti- tude is cordially appreciated It is an- other striking indication of the growing unity of this continent in essential things.

Selected Poem
DREDGING

(Charles Malam in the New York Sun) The lizards of the marshes feed On marshland muck and matted reed, In the early morning air Lean and ugly through the mist Lifting iron necks to stare. They stand and listen, row on row. Where the black creek waters go They steam and snort against the mist, Nosing down the smoking earth. Passing travellers rouse and twist To watch them through . window pane. Travellers passing in the train Comment on the modern-mannered Cord and pulley of crane.
