AND AMMUNITIONS

Governor Hoey told the delegates
that unless schools served more
practical purposes, graduates would
be i'll prepared to earn living.
Learning how to make living
is still a most essential part of edu-
cation the govdrnor said. 'The
cultural training should not be
minimized, but the practical should
be emphasized and given the same
rark in credits as is accorded the
purely scholastic work"
He reiterated his support OF the
addition of 18th grade.
The resolution opposing junior r.
o. T. C. units said "militarization"
resembled "the Hitlerizing of Ger
man youth" and was ''repugnant to
our ideals of democracy"
eve believe the effect Of offer
ing free uniforms to boys in high
school and the social pressure OF
the boys who enroll and even OF
the girls of high school age will
induce unwholesome socials elements
into the life of the secondary
school," the resolution said.
In asking for salary boosts, the
teachers said the basic minimum
wage scale should be at least as
high as in 1929.
sTTe minimum restoration for
1939-4O should be 10 percent" the
resolution, stated.

Improving Our Parks

1t was good news that Congressman ].
Joseph Smith brought the city this week
when he announced from his local office
that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had
approved the plan whereby some 100000
would be made available for development
of park areas within our city limits. This
is something that the city has needed for
a great many years. Too often COM
nunity's recreational needs are over
looked by heavy dennds for other services.
We trust too much to the philanthropy
of our citizens for the development of
park systems. Waterbury has been for
tunate in this respect, too; it has bene-
fitted by the beneficences of many
thoughtful citizens, living and dead.
But park areas cannot subsist by them
selves. Like private property they re-
quire care from one end of the year to
another. And Waterbury is not large
town any more. It's big city with
metropolitan population. The needs of
the growing generations are many and
diversified. We try to supplement them
with a supervised recreational program
that makes for better American citizens.
In the past the city has been forced to
build up park areas and recreation fields
piece-meal. This government aid, which
Is to come, will enable a tremendous
amount of work to be accomplished at
one fell swoop.
Many people probably have their own
ideas on what should be done in the par
ticular park in their immediate neigh
borhood. But the city has really worth
while park board which knows so much
better than most of us the situation 1t
realizes full well what can be done and
what should be done. All of which means
that we should trust to the good judg-
nlent of these officials and the directors of
the park and playground systems when it
comes to disposal of funds.
We could mention many respects in
which the city is deficient in recreation
The accomplishments of other towns
might be pointed out. Our own situation,
however, Is unique. So is every city's. We
have problems that other cities don't
have. They must be taken into considera-
ton. One enthusiast might see ire
rnendous upswing in the number of ten
mis- courts; another might clamor for the
modernizati0n of such courts. Baseball
diamonds, football gridironS, soccer fields,
cIub-houses, all sorts of athletic enter
prises come to mind Immediately. There
are many other things, too, that must be
taken care Of and that few of us realize
enter the picture.
All In an the outlook Is most favorable.
The city faces fine prospects In It's recre-

Missing a Catastrophe

Waterbury was particularly fortunate
in the recent hurricane that visited TINS
state. True many householders suffered
the inconvenience of lack Of It's ana
telephone service for some few days tol-
lowing the storm, but that was minor
occurrence compared to what happened
in other parts of the state. Perhaps there
were more inconvenience than this, lack
of water where electrically operated
artesian wells failed to operate. But in the
main our troubles we're slight and merely
temporary. Down in the eastern section
OF the state many homes are still without
services, those homes that are now
habitable.
Surprising the city's water pipe line
from the Morris reservoirs had been
crushed by falling tree. The city would
have been dependent on it's water sup
plies at East Mountain and Prospect. We
don't know what such a condition actu-
allv would mean to this city of 100000
people or more, but undoubtedly 1t would
have resulted in rationing of water until
some means had been provided for bring
ing the water here from our other sources
of supply. All of which shows how de-
pendent we are on this solitary pipe line,
now old in the city service.
We have started work on second pipe
line into the Morris hills, which will enter
the city not from Thomaston as does the
present one, but through Watertown
Certainly the recent storm should center
attention on the fact that the city ought
to speed up, so far as humanity possible,
it's work on the second pipe line project.
res one of those must" jobs that we have
fooled around with for so many years that
the seriousness of the situation has been
submerged for other considerations
which should not enter into it at all.
We don't think the citizens of Water
bury realize themselves how dependent
they are on pipe line that has withstood
the rigors of time, but which might fail
In the twinkling of an eye when we are
least prepared. An alternate line not
only would increase the efficiency of pres
ent service, but would remove all fear OF
water famine.
