High Cost of Movie Fame

Hollywood salaries at the top are high, but maybe they have to be. Joan Blondell, movie star wife of Dick Powell, also movie star, tells an interviewer that their two children have cost $100,000 apiece. good share went to the attend ing physicians. Some went to the hos pital More, doubtless, went for baby clothes than would have been so spent by family not in the klieg lights. The $100,000 also includes the wages she lost while she was not working. The actress does not complain. She thinks her two youngsters are worth whatever they cost, and more She can't help wondering, however, whether the principle of charg ing what the traffic will bear isn't carried too far in Hollywood
 There are other examples to illustrate her point. Her sister had an appendicitis operation in New York, with an excellent surgeon and good hospital service, at a cost of $250. Miss BlOndell had similar operation at a cost of $3 ,500 Some recent dental work, not very serious, cost as much as if her mouth were full of diamonds and platinum. "Just because you're in the movies everything costs more" she says.
 It makes an interesting topic for argu, nlent Many will say that the movie stars have plenty to pay these bills. Others will hold out for reasonable standard charge for certain services. What do the movie stars say? Would they like to have their pay reduced so that they could per- Suade doctors and others to reduce their charges?

It's All Too Confusing

The issues attending the motion for a change of venue in the alleged munlclpaI conspiracy cases and the subsequent rul- ing of the court that the trials be trans ferred to the New Haven court were apparently solved for the layman. But now comes Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn seeking return of the trials to this city, the inference being that New Haven is not suitable to him. It is hard for the average person to understand just what underlies all this legal maneuvering. After all is said and done a group of pub lie officials and citizens stand accused of serious crimes. Their rights are such as to protect them from indefinite delay in proceedings.
 We thought that when the court grant ed a transfer to New Haven that 1t was an admission that facilities in the local courthouse would not be adequate for an orderly and proper trial. And reading over the finding of the judge, again the same idea is obtained Therefore what is to be gained ny returning the trials to Waterbury, where now admittedly pro- ceedings would be held under cramped conditions? The answer is very obvious. Nothing is gained, therefore the reason for the switch back here is for reason, heretofore unexplained Either that or no transfer back to Waterbury is desired.
 It would be far better, we think, for everyone to know that the evident pur- pose of the original motion for change of venue was to put the trial in Hartford. But we can't see how the state could con-. scientiously argue that holding a trial of Waterbury officials in Waterbury was preiudicial, when the same might easily be said of trial held in Hartford where the Special Prosecutor is States Attorney. When you come right down to it, what can be accomplished in New Haven or Hart ford, with regard to a just trial of the accused, that can't be done right here in Waterbury?

A Thought for Today
Up to the Voters

Nothing can be said now to change, the outcome of the voting tomorrow one way or the other. We sincerely hope that a goodly majority of the Connecticut elec- torate feels the same towards Wilbur h. Cross and his fellow Democrats as It mas in the past eight years. Democrats ol Connecticut and Independent voters who have aligned themselves consistently with the Democrats throughout the Cross re- gime have a lot to be proud of, for since the day that Wilbur L. Cross entered the governors office at Hartford change has come over our state government.
 Let the political orators rave and rant all they want even Jasper McLevy down there in Bridgeport, but Uncle Toby has given good government where 1t was With in his power to do so. From position ot rlbber-Stamp, which was all the otf1ee virtually was back in 1880 when he was first elected he has made it vital force in the state government. Think of the progressive and liberal advances made by this state in social welfare, labor, tax, and other legislation. It speaks well of Governor Cross and his party that Con- neeticut has kept pace with national trends under the most trying of condl- t.ons and with the hostility of Republican controlled Legislature.
 We spoke above of Jasper McLevy accusing Governor Cross of many sins ot commission and omission. Yet it wasn't so many years ago that Mayor McLevy was pleased to beStoW his Socialist bless ing on our governor and refer to him as a far-sighted and progressive executive. Ne is no different today than he was then. And we can't help but point out that the governor has with him as running mates this fall as fine group of candidates as could be mustered. We could mention each and everyone of them from Senator Augustine Lonergan down, but repetition sometimes irks The names and the fac.s have been constantly before you through a hectic campaign. No better sign of desire for better times could be seen than vote for the Democratic ticket tomorrow.

October, resulting in saving of at least 1000 lives for the twelve months.
 That gain can be visualized by looking att town of 1000 people and considering what terrible catastrophe it would be if they were all wiped out. The American public has virtually given life to that many men, women and children in one year by not killing them as usual.
 How has this wonderful gain been made? By driving more carefully; by making better cars and better roads; by keeping the cars in better condition; by nearly everybody, including pedestrians, being more cautious. With the impetus and confidence gained by this achieve ment, the nation should be able to make as much additional gain next year.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-07

It has always been claimed that the of-year elections, those in between presi- dential years, result in many voters stay ing at home. With so many important issues confronting Ns locally, state-wise, and nationally, these days it behooves everyone to exercise his or her right to the franchise We can't conceive anyone staying away from the polls tomorrow to exercise peeve or to show any independ- ence of thought. It shows quite the opposite from independence. You mani fest independent thought by voting, not by staying at home. If the nation were to do this universally, what fine represen- tative government we'd have
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-07

Too much can't be said for the several Waterbury candidates who are among those seeking election on the Democratic ticket tomorrow. For some years past now Waterbury has been undivided in it's allegiance to the Democratic party; we don't expect that there will be change tomorrow. There shouldn't be, for the candidates of the party who ask the cleo torate's endorsement are of high calibre, some of them untried in political office, but all capable of giving honest and sin cere service. Naturally the city wants "Joe" Smith returned to Congress He ought to go out of Waterbury with whooping big majority and we hope that common sense will prevail in Democratic circles and enable this big lead to be set up. The same is true of Attorney Pat" Healey who will make such fine suc- cessor to Probate Judge D. J. Slavin. And our legislators, too-George T. Culhane, Edward Egan, Hugo Gustaferri and "Dan" Mahaney. Don't forget any of them to- morrow fellow Democrats!

Safer Driving

At last the automobile fatality curve has turned sharply downward And it has happened rather suddenly Figures show that in the ten months ending last August the fatalities were almost 6,000 less than for the same month the year before. This is gain of 20 per cent.
 The most reassuring thing about it is the rather steady sinking of the death curve, or mounting of the safety curve, during the months referred to. Starting in November of last year with saving of 300 lives in comparison with the previ- ous record, the gain rose to 560 in March, 780 in May, 300 in July and 860 in August. It is reasonable to believe that continued gains have been made in September and

Restoring The Chestnut South Carolina Experiment Has Cheering News for Lovers of That Great American Tree.
 and Its Once Famous Fruit.
NEW YORK TIMES

nymph when the lightning struck the grand old elm out toward the edge of town?" Or, "Who read the burial services" Or, Why is it nowadays so few fresh sprigs are placed upon tree-stumps for the spirits new hone?n
 We do not place such sprigs in the old Grecian or Hindu manner. In our practical, scientidfic age we en- deavor to save and resurrect in lieu of mourning over death. One of the most conspicuous instances of this is that recently related of F. Bert Morgan of the city of Greenville, s. C., who for fifteen years has been interested in the restoration of the chestnut tree which was rapidly be- coming extinct. Two-score years ago, smattered all oyer the mount tains of western North Carolina, it was admittedly the most durable of tinbers and the most generous of grewths.
 The disappearance of this famous tree appeared to MT. Morgan as a great calamity. In truth, it was. Every one lamented it, but no one appeared as its savior. Beauty, fruitage, durability, all passing away because of neglect. Here was a chal- lenge. The young Greenvillian &C., cepted it. By perseverance, and as instigator of prolonged research and study by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, tree was found in China which it is believed will withstand the blight. Within few years, say those who should know, it is not too much to hope the chestnut will soon again be climbing over the mountains in and around and about the Blue Ridge and Smokies.
 No one today writes poetry or composes music dedicated to the mystery of the harmony of human life and of plant life. No note is struck to the divinity of vegetation. In our scientific age we find such supplanted by what we usually term practical reality. But as exem- plified in this case, 1t ranks along side bringing in the Yule Tree

INDEPENDENTS ARE BACK IN FOLD NEW LEADERS
 PROVE UNRULY

Editor, Waterbury enaocrat:
 I would like to say word about some of the so-called leaders of the Independent Democrats who seem to think they can speak for the rest of us Independents and can lead us around by the ear to vote the way they think we should-just to satisfy their own peacock vanity. These fellows are in for a rude awakening. They do not represent or control anyone but themselves and in some instances could not even control themselves. They may be able to muster up a handful of support but it is for grudge pur- poses and not for good government. The great group of Independent Democrats of the last few years are still independent to the extent that no few leaders can control them but they are still Democrats in their loyalty to Governor Cross, Senator Lonergan, Congressman Smith, and the other honorable candidates put forward by their party.
 
 A few puffed up and overrated individuals may think that their candidates are going to back up their grudge fight against J. Fran cis Smith by cutting his brother, J. Josetph Smith or Edward P. Egan, but they will discover they are wrong. What a vicious trick that would be on two honorable candidates of whom the party can be proud. No one has {; bad word for either of them-yet a few sore heads would have you believe that, just because they say so, a lot of decent independent. are going to join in such a dishonorable act.
 No, sir, the Independent Demo- crats as a party are all through, because they have accomplished their purpose and are back in the regular party with the exception of 8 few of them who are still work ing for the Republicans. but who are not fooling anyone but them selves.

Press Comment
THE TREK TO LITTLE TOWNS
 IAaf-iden .Inllrnall

(Meriden JOurnaD City losses are towns gains-in population. School registrations are something of barometer in this re- speCt. New York city has a falling oil in pupils of over 16,000 as com pared with Q year ago. Other pop ulous centers report substantial de- clines.
 Here in Connecticut we see in the trend in the larger cities in the lat- est issue of the State Register, giv- ing the registrations for 1886 end 1897 in the four largest cities as follows; Hartford, S2.002 for .e36 and S0.525 for 1887; New Haven, 3l,- 362 and 30,7Sa; Bridgeport. 2D.079 and 28,050; Waterbury, iS.62s and 19,l75.
 Not severe drops, 1t is trus--a total of 3,636- but a big change from the many years when school popula- tion always increased, If the old ratio of 45 citizens for each school registrant prevails, 1t means a loss of over 16,50O in these cities. Meanwhile there have been small gains in many of the towns, more especially those nearest larger cities. Their increases in population prove a hardship to cities which must maintain expensive service and con- tinue high taxation.
