and new communities in this delight-
ful part of the country.
Since those days you good people

Oklahoma Is natural resources con.
SciOus, and am glad that Oklahoma
also appreciates 50 well that natural
resources are national resources and
that in their conserving and develop

from the national point Of view.
Slowly but surely we are developing

 Then, too, this group points out that the German is two years older and has looked far from impressive in his last starts. They say he can't possibly possess even the ring weary legs he had two years back.

 Schmeling adherents. on tn Q other hand, make much of the pSy- chological edge Der Uhlan will have over his youthful opponent Joe, they say knows that Max knocked him out once and this knowledge will cause him to tight en up. The Bombers jaw, the ar gument runs, is vulnerable as shown by the result the last time they fought. If Schmeling, whose punch is still potent, gets that one opening again, history will repeat itself in the Yankee Stadium ring
 Another incentive in Schmeling 5 favor, is said to be the great store the German government is putting on his triumph If he loses Max knows he must forfeit much of the esteem in which he is held in Ger mans official circles.
 Controversy is at fever pitch.

Canadian Boosts
 Alaska Highway

A Canadian booster of the pro- posed highway to Alaska who sees in it a means of bringing America and Canada closer together eco- nomically and socially is c. Will mott Madison of Vancouver, B. C., who was in Seattle on business, says recent Seattle Post-Intel- ligencer.
 Self-termed a preacher of the gospel of mining consciousness" :" Madison is the general manager of the Silver Association of Canada. One of his hobbies is the road
 The road to Alaska will be of as much benefit to Canada as the United States" he said. We are asleep in Canada, and we should be awake to take advantage of the developments which the United States government is planning.
 "If the road goes through it will bring American and Canadian peo- pie together in neighborly coopera- tion. And it will enable business developments to exist which would be beneficial to both countries"
 Early this month President Roose- welt signed a bill authorizing a commission to study the possibilities of such a highway to Alaska. The general route will probably be from Seattle through British Columbia and the Yukon Territory to Fair banks.

Know Whereof You Speak

William ONeil, prominent rubber tire manufacturer. handed out some timely advice the other day when he spoke before the Advertising Club of New 4orK. He told people not to pay too much atten- tion to the statements made about national and international policies ana issues by persons who actually are un- familiar with the topics on which they are talking. He expounded the idea that, because a man has risen to the top ot ms own profession or business, does not qualify him as an expert in all matters. And Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau seems to have been one or MT. O'Neil's victims.
 For he said of the former, Secretary ot the Treasury Morgenthau is quoted on the first page of most of the newspapers as saying that because tire manufact- urers quote low bids for government tire contracts, that he hoped the same prices would be given to the ordinary consumer: He surely knows that when tires are sold to the government, it is not necessary to pay the 14 per cent Federal tax that is assessed on other tire sales, nor is it nec- essary to allow for the "A per cent that tt costs the dealer to do business. ..."
 It is, of course, unfortunate that Amer leans nave come to accept as gOSpel IIuCu everything that we print in our daily newspapers. It would be well if all Of us stopped and analysed the remarks of our political and business leaders. In most instances their utterances are de- signed to accomplish some purpose. Oftentimes it is for the public good; many times it is for selfish design. We do think, though, that the American people are becoming more and more used to extravagant and wild statements from officials and privately toss their opinions aside as worthless.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-12
Just Like That

President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter to Governor Wilbur L. Cross places upon Connecticut the necessity of hold ing a special session of it's Legislature. It develops that the states housing bill doesn't conform to U. s. standards, as of 1887. And those Connecticut communi- ties, Bridgeport in particular, which have been counting on federal funds to start housing projects in their midst, must wait until the state laws are brought into conformity with the federal de- mands. Nothing else but, mind you!
 All of which is rather discouraging at this late date. It would seem as if Con- necticut could have known long before this that it's housing act, supposedly framed to conform with federal restric- tionS, wasn't orthodox. Had it known it last year it could have rectified the faults when there was much ado about Connec- ticut sharing in federal grants for hous- ing. There is a S5OO,OOO,OOO housing fund at Washington, but it would seem as if states must surmount tremendous obstacles to share in any part of it.
 Unless the state and federal officials can straighten out the Connecticut hous- ing bill without recourse to further leg islation there will be need of a special session, such as was called in 1886 to get Connecticut under the wire for benefits under the Federal Social Security Act. We thought we were safe then, but we had to call special session and pass an unemployment insurance law. Now amendments for the housing bill are pro- posed Really we must be just a bit slow about some things or else official Wash ington is proving bit exacting in this states case.

Place Names

It is said that Kennebunkport, Me-, has been Kennebunkport for one hundred years But there seem to be people who have looked up the records and say that it was originally Arundel. They pro- pose that the older name be restored now
 The final decision will be reached in town meeting, but the preliminary dis cussion is pretty warm. Kennebunkport's famous authors are divided in opinion Margaret Deland wants the name Arundel" revived. Booth Tarkington finds the present Kennebunkport "an old and honorable name, full of character" :" and confesses that he would regret it's change.
 Here is an example of present-day in- stability cropping out in stronghold of tradition. There must be some point in the life of a community when it's name and the spelling thereof should become permanent. The many changes in the maps of Europe have become annoying to persons whose days of studying geog- raphy are past and who would like to find what they learned still useful. It is not the changes in boundary lines that are most distressing, but the revival of na- tionalist spelling and the reversion to ancient and forgotten names.
