"Armistice day should be the day we take inventory of citizenship, rather than the day we talk of pre- paredness," Lieut.-Col. Clarence M.
 McNIurray, commandant of Boston's university's reserve officers training
 corps unit, declared yesterday, com menting on the significance of this national holiday.
 "It is citizenship preparedness
 that is needed today" he declared.
 We can arm as much as we nke' l but if the man, and especially tne young man, is not prepared in body and mind for leadership we will not
 be entirely prepared. Not only IS this important from a military standpoint, but from a national viewpoint, leadership is valuable m
 any crisis"
 The Boston university military
 head pointed out that 21 years ago on Armistice day there was an army of four million men. These veterans are now inaccessible through age and physical requirements.
 "We now have skeleton of re- serve officers and National Guard ] on which to build." Colonel Mc-
 Murray pointed out. We have yet, however, to reach the masses in de- veloping sense of responsibility o1 citizenship. This is one of the greatest problems of our national
 defense.
 Leadership has been expanded, he continued, through the National Guard. the R. O. T. c. and the c. M. T. c. The national defense act of 1916, as amended in 1920, provid- ed for from 75,000 to 100000 reserve officers. who would be college and university graduates in the 20 years following the passage of the act. Each year nearly 170,00O boys re- ceive training through the R. O. T. c. or the 0. M. T. C." Colonel McMurray cited these flg- ures to show how the training agen- cies of the army were teaching a
 wider knowledge of government and inspiring confidence in the gov- ernment to thousands of youths
 each year.
 "The- greatest necessity at the
 present time," he stated, lis that Of
 strong central idea of the oblga-
 tion of citizenship. This will enable
 the men and young men to under
 stand better the principles of gov- ernment and make them willing to
 defend the ideals for which their government stands"
 Colonel McMurray served in France during the World War and
 has been in. the army for 2o years.
 People seek peace by every possible means" he said, but some of the methods used are weaknesses. They
 shun discipline because it smacks
 of militarism. but that discipline is valuable in any crisis. A good citi-
 zen has had developed favorable state of mind toward constituted authority and recognizes the neces- Sity for law and order.
 we are better qualified today" he concluded, because of the ad- vance in schooling of trained men

reduction of 3T jobs is recom- mended.
 There are some differences be- tween the two sets of recommen- dationS, eight years apart. One concerns the office of the fire mar Shal. In 1930 the report recom- mended that the fire marshal's power be enlarged. In 1888, the report recommends that his duties be taken over by. the deputy chief and his position eliminated from the department.
 Both reports claim that costs of fire protection in Waterbury are too high and that the fire depart : ment is overmanned. Both also recommend that only Il pieces of apparatus be kept in service in- stead of IA.
 Disappr0val Looms
 The 1888 recommendations of Griffenhagen & Associates will be studied by the board of fire com- missioners at meeting Wednes- day. It is expected that virtually all the recommendations will be disapproved as they were in 1930.
