WHEN IS IT PARKED?
(New Haven Journal-Courier)

(New Haven Journal-Courier)
 When, precisely, would you say a car was parked? We'll bet good many habitual parkers can't answer that one, and as for the fellow who doesn't drive, you might as well ask him to translate the Rosetta stone. The state traffic commission, how ever, had to have an answer. Draw ing up standardized rules for the use of local traffic authorities all over the state, it called on various au- thorities for their ideas. The attor- ney general had already assured the members that the statutes and the common law were innocent of any embracing and conclusive definition, So one expert up and promulgated this:
 "A parked vehicle is vehicle purposely brought to rest and not a part of the flow of traffic" Pretty good, we call it, and including most of the possibilities we can think Of. And yet if you want to be pernick- ety, we think there's room to be. A vehicle which is brought to rest can hardly be part of the flowing traf- fic because flow, by very patent de- finition means movement, doesn't 1t? But if you lop of the phrase that seems redundant. you have only "a vehicle brought to rest" which ob- viously would include the car mere ly waiting for the traffic signal. etc. Why not just add which keeps on resting?"

We Get An Example

Waterbury should take notice of what is being said about sanitary conditions III the Naugatuck Valley. Torrington has been set LID as an example for all com munities in the valley to copy so far as elimination of sewage pollution IS con- cerned. Speaking in that city this week Warren J. Scott, representing the Bureau of Sanitary Engineering Of the State De- partment of Health cited Torrlngton as typical of what can be done today to com bat the evils and dangers of stream pol lution
 Of course Torrington isn't the only city in the valley that is aware of the dlStaste- full conditions brought about by utlilzlng the river as an open sewer. Practlcally every community in the valley which has a sewer system has made plans TOT an elimination plant which will obvlate the necessity of emptying raw sewage into the stream. Unfortunately the job ot set ting up this system is expensive and III our own case extremely costly. It has proved so much so that we are stagger- ing the costs over period of years.
 Engineer Scott among other things said, Public support is needed to force the installation of necessary additional sewage treatment plants and also to pro vide the necessary funds and qualified personnel to operate these plants effec- lively The protection of our bathing beaches, shellfish areas, and possible tu- ture water supply streams, the avoidance of nuisance conditions, and the con- serVation of our natural resources all de- raand this. City and town governments, naturally reluctant to undertake ex- penditures for new undertakings, even when for the public good, can be heart ened to do so with encouragement from the public. ."
 Ali of which has been discussed many times, but still remains good advice. Communities must continue to move to- wards elimination of stream pollution, no matter how costly Waterbury, we think, is keeping pace, although criticized at times for failure to speed up it's program. That's debatable, but the saving factor is that we have made beginning, have definite plan, and eventually will achieve the goal of pollution elimination.

HaIl-Marked Houses

The English Master Builders Associa- tion has decided that it is time to pro- tect sound building and curtail shoddy building. There has been good deal of the latter since the World War. Begin ming in Birmingham, the home of hall marked gold and silver products, the association is going to hallmark we'll built houses.
 The plan provides for thorough inspec- tion of house during it's construction and after it's completion. A builder .Who has met all the requirements of good materials and good workmanship will then be given a certificate and permitted to insert in a prominent position an air brick of special design as a hallmark Of excellence.
 This plan assures the builder recogni- tion of the quality of his house. It tells the buyer what he is getting. It is hoped that it will make things so difficult for the ierry-builder that he will mend his ways and improve his houses There has already been start at this sort of thing in some cities of the United States. The certified" house not only meets the local building code requirements but possesses guaranteed quality beyond literal, legal specifications.

We don't notice this department until there comes a "Panay incident" in China, or question of naval cooperation with some friendly country in time of war. Then all at once the public realizes the power and responsl- bility vested in those Spats, canes and plug hats

Court Reforms

! Last year it was reform in the United States Supreme Court; today it's reform in Massachusetts, courts. At least the special judicial council of the Boston Bar Association is endeavoring to have number of changes made in the existing court set-up It's perennial question, of course, in this state and we presume that next year when the Legislature con- venes again therell still be efforts made to have the district court plan adopted. It's bitter pill to swallow for those who regard minor courts as political spolls, but eventually we aren't going to be sur prised to find the change made.
 In Massachusetts there would be con- solidation of several courts, notably Superior, Probate, and Land; enlarge ment of the State Supreme Court from seven to nine justices; and lastly, eStab- lishment of county court system to re- place the present district courts. On this latter suggestion our legislators might pick up some ideas. While we do not know the extent of the district court rlan in the Bay State, still it is obvious that it fails in some respects.
 We say this, for the councils recom- mendation says that the county is the proper unit for organizing district courts, s'becauSe each county has come through long years to acquire sort of personal ity so as to be the natural focus for any kind of judicial organization. :" In Connecticut it would seem as if county courts might cover too much territory and defeat the original purpose of the dis trict courts, designed to serve large com munities and their surroundings smaller towns. The full report of the Boston Bar Associations report is well worth study ing in this state.

Diplomacy

It is just as well that attention has been called to our State Department at Wash ington lately, even though the occasion was a sort of congressional hazing party for diplomats, with some senators afraid the country was being given away. The State Department is too little known to the public. We are inclined to forget nowadays that it is the oldest and most honorable of our federal departments, that the Secretary of State heads the Presidents cabinet, that the department is regarded as our first line of defense" = the Navy being second and the Army, third.
 It costs us less than per cent as much as the army and navy. For about $10,- 100000 year 1t keeps on friendly terms

Faced by the prospect of not having licenses renewed in some instances or meeting with rebuffs from the Federal Communications Commission m any broadcasters are taking steps to improve the general tone of their programs. More than 500 broadcasters held a na tional conference in Washington, D. C., this week to discuss their mutual prob lens. One of their first steps was to out line ways and means of cleaning house.. As a means of exercising close control over their industry they also plan to name "boss" similar to Will Hays in the motion picture industry and Judge Landis in baseball. There is room for improvement in radio broadcasting, even as there is in the newspaper industry. The former, though, is young and am- bilious and hasn't as yet mellowed with time. Upon it's shoulders rest a tre- mendous responsibility for there is no doubt of the influence it yields in the lives of growing children.

"Fifty-Cent" Feeling States Rights Preserved in Vermont, Says Gov Aiken, Only by Fighting Utilities,
 Federal Government
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

Governor Aiken hits the mark both in feeling and philosophy. In feeling he would turn his party back to Lincoln. He objects to the bank er-broker-lawyer majority on the national Program Committee. He wants party leaders to win the peo- ple's trust by knowing the people as Lincoln did. He declares it would do no good for the Republicans to have fifty-cent Lincoln Day dinners if the fifty-cent feeling is not in the hearts of the Republicans partici- pating."
 AS to philosophy, Vermont's gov ernor says that to preserve states rights he has had to fight both pub lie utilities and the Federal Gov ernment. As a nurseryman Governor Aiken knows that hemlocks can grow into giant trees or be kept trimmed in a hedge. AS a political leader he insists that there is diff ference between federal leadership and federal domination. He would resist domination but he recognizes that leadership need not grow into domination.
 This man of the soil is no doctrin- aire, he makes essential distinctions. He thinks there can be social re- form and federal leadership with out collectivization and he asks his party's leaders to stop theorizing stop crying Fascist" or worrying about Reds. He asks them to come down to earth. Best of all he asks them to stop hating. This kind of thinking comes nearer to the Lin- coin leadership than anything re- gently manifested in Republican i ranks.

 OLD TIMER

Editor, Waterbury Democrat
 The communication in last nights Democrat signed by A. L. c. was well worth reading, but don't think the writer has the proper commun- ity or Chamber of Commerce spirit. Why should Rev. MT. Bobilin go out of town to select subjects for his moralizing? He doesn't need to se- lect Governor Cross for his next sermon, why not ask the reverend gentlemen to consult some of the elders of his congregation and ob- tain data for an address on the last Republican Administration i'll Wa terbury. Maybe he would become a more charitable neighbor and sub scribe to the Elks' principle of writ ing the faults of our brothers upon the sands. Maybe the Moose have better saying. It runs something like it does not behoove one to speak ill of another. That goes for Repub- licans as well as Democrats.

Edwin Hunt of the Waterbury Savings Bank pointed out that lack of a building boom in Waterbury can be attributed to several factors. Among them are high costs of materials and labor. These are not limited to Waterbury, however, but seem to be fairly general throughout the country, if what we read in the papers can be accepted as reliable. And there is no reason to believe otherwise. Being a national problem it's up to all forms of government-fed state, and local to tackle it and solve it. If we're going to launch big building program we must do so under favorable circum- stances.

A Book a Day
Frazier Hunt Views a Changing World
By BRUCE CATION

There must be some significance in the fact that the best books are being written these days, not by the imaginative novelists, but by the hard-headed man of facts-the reporter.
 We live in a world where. prac- tically everything seems to be hap- pening at once. Somehow, human history is taking a new turn; one era is sending and a new one is be- ginning and we understand very little of 1t. So the newspaper man steps into the breach and helps us to see what is going on.
 Frazier Hunt does this job very capably in his new book, "One American" (Simon & Schuster: $3D. Many other foreign correspondents have put their recollections and their meditations into book form, but in many ways MT. Hunts book strikes me as being the best of the lot.
 For one thing, MT. Hunt is at no point unduly impressed with the magnitude of his own achieve ments( although he might well bel, or with the profundity of his thoughts. Throughout, he remains 8 typical mid-westerner, who knows the Indiana cornf1elds and the brown Illinois rivers and the winter storms of the lake country, looking at chaotic world, reacting to it in the light of the best of Americas traditions, and interpreting it for people like himself.
 And what a lot of it he has seen! AS a war correspondent, he covered the American army's doings in France. He covered the confused and abortive American expeditions in Archangel and Vladivostok; he got into Russia just after the armis- tice and interviewed Lenin and Maxim Gorky (and came near get- ting shot as Spy); he interviewed Sun Yat-sen in China, Ghandhi in India, Panch Villa in Mexico, and crowned heads and stuffed shirts without number.
 Of all Of these experiences he tells in this book, and the telling makes absorbing reading.
 Several years ago MT. Hunt took rowing assignment" to cover the Unilted States for NEA Service. Inc. He has been reporting the American scene for the papers served by that organization ever since.

Legion Lane-sounds pretty nice, doesn't it? We just thought of it in con- nection with the idea, advanced some months ago, for World War memorial in Waterbury. Freight street could be easily transformed into such a thorough fare by bit of landscaping, tree-plant- ing, etc. Then there'd be the Harrub Memorial at one end and the World War memorial at the other. Or is that just too fantastic to come true.

Selected Poem
THE SILVER LINING (Perley A. Gilmore New Haven, in the New Haven Journal-C Courier)

If the morning be dark and the clouds dull and gra And towards trouble the mind be inclining, It will brighten your sky and tighten your days To look for the silver lining. If cares come in bundles and worry and fret, And the muddle would tempt you to whining, This one thing I'll promise you'll never regret, If you seek for the silver lining. To look for the cheerful is better by far
 It's trick of old Satan's designing To blndfod our eyes to the blessings that are
 In the cloud with the silver lining. So don't be cast down. but look up and smile,
 And cease all your foolish repming, The sunshine will break ere you travel mile
 Towards the clouds with the silver lining.

Fresh and earthly as the soil Yer mont's nurseryman Governor likes to work in is his Lincoln Day advice to the Republican Party. The out look for his party may be brighter than Governor Aiken indicated in his speech to the National Republi- can Club in New York. But to thou sands of Republicans and scores of independents this voice from Yer mont carries basically more hope full appeal than any that has been raised in recent months.
