Old Stuff Now

It's no longer news when state de-
partment Is taken to task. These at
tacks come with such regularity now that
the citizens expect them and are a bit
disappointed when each passing week
doesn't produce a new sensation. The
probe of the State Hospital at Norwich Is
still with us; there1l be more probes
along this line in other institutions where
mental cases are treated. But an Off
cial Of the Young Republican Clubs OF
Connecticut decided to diversity the at
tack. He Is taking the State Highway
Department to pieces and he isn't putting
1t together again.
He claims that, through no fault Of the
present commissioner and Gov. Raymond
z. Baldwin, the department Is spending
more money than 1t should, that its per-
sonnet Is bulky, and that 1t operates on an
outmoded system. He believes that If the
department were overhauled, an immense
amount of money could be saved every
year All of which Is nothing new. If
our readers will recall correctly another
State Commissioner Robert A. Hurley
of the Public Works Department - called
attention to conditions In the Highway
Bureau in his now-famous report on the
Merritt Parkway.
There was o lot of talk then about
Commissioner Hurley taking "shots" at
the late John A. Macdonald, then High
way Commissioner. And later when the

According to ruling by the office Of
the Attorney General Of this state the
Highway Department cannot be held liable
for injuries to persons hurt while walk
ing along sidewalks that. abut on state
air or trunk line roads. The Highway De-
partment, the finding stated, has never
had the duty of maintaining such side
walks, this brings primarily the duty Of
the town within which they are located.
This brings up an interesting discussion
Of highway sidewalks or paths For years
efforts have been made TO have the state
provide them in many sections where i'm
portant routes pass through congested
districts and people are accustomed to
pass back and forth from their homes or
places of business. Up to now the High
way Department has not succumbed to
the pressure. Maybe one Of the reasons
1t has managed to fight off all such at
tempts has been in this very knowledge
that 1t might fall heir to slew Of law
suits from falls and other accidents.

Merritt Parkway opened and everyone
liked 1t, there was more talk about the
Hurley report But even the present
Highway Commissioner, William. ]. Cox,
has indicated hy his actions IN the past
wear or SO that something has to be done
in his department to bring 1t up to date.
And there have been frequent. glarces
given to the Hurley report, so we under
stand. SO the proposed Highway De-
partment reorganization isn't exactly
new and Hartford is probably aware that
something is to be done in this respect.

AN EXPLANATION

In n recent answer 10 the
question "Does the phrase
1000 Pure Pennsylvania or
have any particular signiff-
cancer" our Washington Bs-
reau stated: IT Is q slogan used
by the Pennsylvania Crude OIL
Association, Oil City, Pa, and
actually has no meaning, except
as o trade mark"
The answer was intended TO
convey the fact that the oil so
marketed Is not necessarily
produced exclusively In the
State Of Pennsylvania, but the
statement that tho phrase has
no meaning except rs q trade
mark was not accurate.
In the petroleum industry
the phrase 1909 Pure PennsyI-
vania OIL" Identifies the lubri-
eating oils made from the crude
petroleum produced In the
Pennsylvania Grade Region,
which includes not only the
state Of Pennsylvania, where
oil was FIRST produced In COM
mercial quantities, but also,
western New York, West Wiz.
ginia and southeastern Ohio.
THE latter state also produces
other crude petroleum which
Is essentially different from the
"iOO% Pure Pennsylvania"
grade). The crude oils pro.
duced from the various fields
throughout this general area
are similar in character and
uniform In quality although
produced from different sands
ana by various methods. All Of
them are wax bearing paraiilne
base crude oils. This grade Of
crude oil Is usually quoted Ut
q higher price than any other.
The phrase has been popular
lied through the efforts Of the
Pennsylvania Grade Crude Oil
Association, and definitely
means oils produced from this
region.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1939-12-11

We have apparently learned that there
Is no need to worry about sudden and
sharp price rises because Of the war: The
acute fear that possessed many Ameri-
cans when war first broke out in Europe,
causing them to rush panic-stricken into
stores to purchase abnormally large
stocks of staples, soon subsidized.
That Is all to the good. There Is not q
single logical reason why prices in this
country, so far as basic commodities are
concerned should zoom. Prices may 60
up - but the increases should take place
slowly, gradually and naturally. And,
of vital Importance, the consumer Is pro-
tected by the finest distribution system
in the world.
The little towns of this country are
served by stores which, from the stand
point Of variety, service and price, can be
found only in the great centers Of popu-
lation In other lands. The modern nler-
chant, like the modern manufacturer, no
longer seeks to charge all the traffic will
principle - small unit profit and big
turnover. He Is continually striving to
undersell and out-serve the merchant
down the street.
The American system Of free, open COM
petition Is responsible for this. When a
chain store, for instance, puts into effect
some new innovation, progressive indie
pendent adopts and improves It. And
when the independent gets bright idea,
the chain follows the lead. This Is true
of all kinds fstores -" food, clothing,
hardware, drug and so on. II"
The government, 1t is reported is ready
to crack down II and when profiteering
rears It's head And the retailers Of Amer
lea, large and small, chain and tndepend-
ent, are working harder than ever before
to hold the cost-of-living down they
know better than anyone else that high
prices mean few sales. And the con-
sumner reaps the savings.

The State Highway Department was a
busy spot last week. There were all sorts
Of calls from four different sections Of
the state wanting to know about those
new bridges that were to be built. It
seems reporter picked up release"
at the department offices In Hartford and
the story Travelled around the state via
APP wires. However, the reporter had
been Just bit too ambitious He didn't
realize probably that most Of these stories
from state departments are dated for
release. This particular one was Of an
cient vintage It had actually been re-
leased and used year before. The
reporter simply dug up an old story. But
when 1t came out, 1t produced results.

NOT SO GOOD
AS AT MAx'S
Here the Revuers came 70 put
on their little show twice or thrice
a~weeks In q metropolis even Of
New York's size, 1t does not take
long for the word to get around,
and soon II was being bruited
about Times Square that the
Revuers were okay.
This got to the ears Of the man
who scouts talent for the svelte
Rainbow Room. After the Re-
vuers auditioned for him, unsus-
pectingiy, In Max's place, he sign
ed the six anonymous kids up for
the Rainbow, one Of the towns
smartest night clubs where, per-
sonally, ! thought they were mis-
placed.
What seemed so funny in
Greenwich Village did not appear
at all laughable amidst the GRIM
son plush and the snowy converts
Of the lofty Rainbow Room.
Neverthele SIS, they received
their sunburn In the hmelight.
Kyle Crichton, the magazine
scribe, celebrated their new
found fame In an admiring article
that was circulated nationally and
the sons and daughters and dow
ages Of Park Avenue went slum-
ming at the Rainbow Room to
see what this new phenomenon
was like. ..
This started what now appears
to be the first symptoms OF an
epidemic. II one set Of six could
do It, then why not q couple Of
hundred others?
so q few weeks later, there
emerged q group describing itself
as the Nite.Wits, which was
quickly snatched up by another
midtown oasis. To the night clubs
chagrin, however, the Nite.Wits
turned out to be a contingent
which laughs at the folly Of folk
who spend their good money for

the satire often Is 50 thick and
often 80 blunt that the customers
start to resent 1t and the man

thinks 1t isn't cricket.

The social Ills we are most In dan

origin In the false belief that we can
