Protecting Parks

New Britain is being hit by the same bug that was floating around WaterDury some months ago, just about the time It seemed as if there would not be sufficient room in and around Exchange Place to permit bus stops and loading zones over in the Hardware City it seems there IS movement afoot to cut up Central Park so that there would be no sidewalks on both north and south ends. There now provides safety aisles for pedestrians, but would be converted into bus terminals.
 The New Britain Herald commenting on this plan says, "If the bus interests are so eager to serve the interests of the public. let the various busses make a loop around the business district-letting off and taking on passengers at deSlg- mated bus stops - thus making it possi- ble for the public to obtain more diffused downtown transportation; and again II so eager to serve the public, what about transfers between the independent lines = and again, if still eager, what Of gong to the expense of providing thelr own terminals? ="
 Added to the complaints that were voiced earlier when there was some talk, we don't know how serious it was, of cut ting up the Green to make bus terminals are the present-day ones that too much curb space is being allotted to the busses here in Waterbury, It's just complaint but one that won't solve any dl11lcultles. It is far better for the busses to nave a spot to pull into the curb than to nave them stop right out in the middle of the street. The whole trouble lies in the fact that we haven't sufficient curbing in the center of the town for all the cars that want to stop by 1t.

Britain at South Pole

The Imperial Conference in London, just ended, by it's few accomplishments demonstrated that the independence of the dominions is the real thing Beyond agreeing on cooperation for defense, the prime ministers found they had little in common except the English language and enthusiasm for South Polar real estate. In surprise move toward the end of the conference they adopted unanimously the report of the Polar committee which recommended expansion of British Sov- ereignty in the Antarctic. The purpose, hardly colonization, seems to be posses sion of rich deposits of coal and other mineral resources located there.
 British and American expeditions have been in Antarctica in recent years. Both have claimed certain sections of that frozen region for their governments. So, too, has Lars Christensen, who dropped a flag from an airplane to claim small piece for Norway. Immediate use of the Antarctic mineral wealth is clearly out of the question. No one knows how long it may be before serious exploitation will be either needed or possible. Therefore, there is no reason for nations to quarrel about 1t. Admiral Richard E. Byrd, who has spent four years down there, says there is enough land to go around for all claimants, without injuring any of them
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-21
Local WPA Share

The Senate appropriations committee proposal to make local communities pay 40 per cent WPA costs under the new federal relief bill would be hard on many cities, but might have a good moral effect. The federal government expects to provide $1,500,000, ,00O for such works That would leave $1 ,000, 100000 for local ities to pay making possible $2,500, ,000,- 900 expenditure if all the funds were used.
 There is pretty sure to be some modifi- cation of this plan, to make 1t easier for the hardest-hit cities to benefit by federal liberality. It has, however, the great merit of recognizing the local protests against lavish federal relief methods, put ting it up to the local authorities them selves to take a hand in the game, stop ping the waste and eliminating unworthy projects and beneficiaries.
 If, as people everywhere have been in- sisting, relief should be localized again as far as possible, here is one way to help along that reform. And later on, as bus mess recovery and unemployment pro- ceed, the local ante could be made still larger, until Uncle Sam became a minor instead of major contributor to local improvements and relief projects.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-21
Exported Slang

American slang travels everywhere, but we are surprised sometimes to find the extent to which it is adopted in dis tant lands greatly different from ours in race, language and custom. Here are some examples of the way the Japanese language is being enriched, if you can call 1t that, by American importations.
 The all-conquering "OK." is said to be heard frequently in Japanese cities, and is part of the everyday vocabulary ot taxicab drivers. Various other terms are not so clear, yet recognizable enough when you have the key. Thus the odd response, "orai', is often heard from girl conductors on busses, and perhaps clerks in shops or walters in restaurants. It is nothing less than our familiar American "all right. We ourselves tend to pro- nounce 1t "aw-right", and the Japs simply drop the final "t" The Japs, indeed, tend to drop any consonant that is unpleasant or hard to pronounce, thereby following the French example. Thus pamphlet" becomes "pamfu", department" store becomes "departo" and agitation" be- comes "agito".
 Similar changes are probably going on in nearly every country in the world That is largely result of American travel and American films. With little coaching in linguistic changes, we can soon find our way around almost anywhere, even If we don't know any language but our own.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-21
Danish Eggs

The Danes are credited with having solved the problem of cooperative mar keting better than any other nation. Ihey practice standardization in their export trade to degree not approached any where else. According to an American inquirer in Copenhagen: "The Danes boast that should anyone find bad pan ish egg in London or Berlin, the exporter could trace it back through the Danish cooperating organization to the farmer who sold it originally, who in turn could identify the hen that laid it.
 It sounds like tall story, but may be true. At least, the general evidence points in that direction. Eggs, butter, milk, bacon, and so on - everything IS highly standardized, and grades and qualities are maintained in a way almost incredible. It has paid, too Half cenury ago Den mark was poor and backward, the soll almost worn out, agriculture in great dis tress Organization and cooperation have revived agriculture and done much for industry and trade. On the whole, the country is surprisingly prosperous, contented and happy.
 This doesn't mean, of course, that a nation like ours, great and varied, with vast differences and varied soils, climates and population, could do what Denmark has done, or should try. But doubtless we could apply more fully to much ad- vantage, some of the methods worked out in Denmark.
