MARIONETTES
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

MARIONETTES Little figures on a stage Controlled just by string, They talk and walk and they dance As nice as anything. Curtain: lights: the show is on, What cunning stage! The king enters, then the queen Followed by a little page. Then the princess trips lightly in, The program says her name is Maud, Leaping nimbly from the opposite wing Comes the prince-how they all applaud! Little marionettes on little stage Acting with a most subtle art, In the string pulling play game each Has an important part.

Constant Vigilance
Price of Liberty

Those who would stimulate dicta-
torship can gain no ground if we adj
here to the principle of exact equality
to all and to the maintenance of free
dom of conscience, Of thought and of
expression But let us deviate from
that principle even to hairs breadth
and we make breach through which
enemies of liberty can pour.
Loyal and devoted citizens of our
country, liberals and conservatives
alike, must join hands in their fight
against any abridgement of civic and
religious liberty.
1t can't happen here" has become
a much-used slogan. The lesson
learned from foreign lands serves as
a warning of what can happen when
people are supine or Indifferent.
But "it will not happen here" pro-
viding we value our liberties highly
enough to be ever vigilant and ever
militant in their defense.

Chamber Offers Reward Of $25 For Information

The Waterbury Chamber of Commerce today offered a reward of $25 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who has been using the chambers name without authori- zation in seeking personal infor- nation.
 Announcement of the reward offer was made this afternoon by Secretary Frank Green. He de- clared that the person sought has been annoying the Chamber of Commerce for some time. and that the situation has become almost intolerable.
 The person sought, according to MT. Green, makes it a practice to telephone individuals or officials of business houses. He says he is calling for the Chamber of Con- merce and then seeks to elicit in- formation about the private af- fairs of neighbors or business as sociates.
 On some occasions, MT. Green said, the person sought has also claimed to be calling for the Wa terbury Credit Rating Bureau, which has its office in the Cham Der of Commerce building.
 The reward is offered in the hope that the unauthorized use of the Chambers name may be stopped and the person responsible arrested and prosecuted.

Somewhere out in the Atlantic ocean. the enemy warshipS, carrying speedy attack planes, bombers with loaded racks, and many troop units, were steammg swiftly towards this thickly-p -popu- lated area. A merciless bombing of Connecticut's airplane and arms fac- tories was feared. The population was warned. An attack may come within the next four or five days. But, in this extremity, Washington came to the aid of the threatened area. Army war planes droned into the state from throughout the coun- try.

 Three Cities Get Them
 They came to Hartford, New Ha- ven and New London. Tent villages sprang up miraculously, provisions were rushed in. City mayors and other officials greeted the army men with hope The defense was ready, It was all in fun, though. There were no warships, planes or troops on the y to devastate the commit nity. The factories will not be bombed. The U. S. army air corps merely was working out tactical maneuver-just ill case There were at least A attack planes and seven bombers stationed ill Connecticut to- day, and more were expected. Pre- liminary details were being worked out i'll preparation for the mythical attack, expected early next week.
 Try Out Equipment
 The maneuverS. army men said, would give them the first opportun- ity to try out considerable untested equipment. Some of the planes will carry portable photographic labora- tories, sealed-in air food containers, photo flash bombs for night photog- raphy, field bomb loading equip ment, and many other portable de- vices recently developed. Recon noitering squads already were in the air in preparation for the attack At least 30 officers and more than 300 enlisted men were quartered at Hartford, New Haven and New Lon- don. They came from as far as Cali fornia.
