mean a lot Of food. It's a kind OF
food that isn't consumed IN the
body, but leaves a soft bulky
mass in the intestineS and helps
a bowel movement.

Age of Drama

Americans nowadays are certainly ex- pressing themselves. There are orators and actors in almost every neighbor- hood, and almost any person you know, male or female, may suddenly start sounding off" and get away with it. The urge to crate, born in almost every man anc quite few women, seems to have its big break when the Rotary and Ki- wanis clubs were organized. The poli- ticians were already in the field It be- came second nature for men to stand up, collect their thoughts if any, and tell the world.
 Then, after the slaughter of the old Legitimate stage" by the movies, came the "little theater" movement, giving an outlet to thousands of men and women who have always wanted to act. The growth of this movement in recent years is remarkable. There are hundreds of small theaters around the country pre- senting plays, old and new, and the num- Der grows right along. Almost anyone with real dramatic ability can now get a chance to show it. If no established outfit will admit him, he can start a theater in another neighborhood. And anyone with a play worth anything can get it performed. This may turn out to be the Golden Age of American drama. Even now the amateurs are having their revenge on the professionals.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-10
Increasing Divorce

In New England, where marriages and divorces have been recorded since 1880, the records show that the average dura- tion of marriages that end in divorce is seven years. The rise in number of di- vorces during the last 50 years was steady up to our entrance into the World War in 1917. After the war, in 1919, divorces suddenly increased extraordinarily No single cause for this has been discovered.
 In part, the increase may be accounted for by the fact that many of the divorces had been considered before then but were postponed until after the war. The war itself may have had disturbing effect, in spurring many young couples to nasty and ill-considered marriages which could not survive in the postwar years. Also, high war wages are thought to have made both marriage and divorce possible to more people than usual.
 The next jump in the divorce trend occurred in the prosperous years follow ing 1922. The third sharp increase ap- peared in 1884. These may have been sspoor mems divorces", the result of abandonment and non-support. There must be other underlying forces in the social structure which work toward in- creasing divorce. It is important to dis cover them and to check the trend.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-10
Strong-Arm Statesmanship

Germany is evidently feeling the pres sure brought upon her by the American policy of peaceful encirclment". This amounts to an economic boycott, intended to cripple the Nazis' power for conquest, and is supported in various degrees by many other democratic nations Walther Funk, president of the Reichbank, says: "The world is standing at the parting of the ways. Either it must surrender to the gold power of America, or it must accept the new methods of young, strong, progressive nations"
 By those fine words he seems to mean the ways of military force, sort of inter national gangster policy comparable to the individual gangsterism we used to have in this country. That is what Hit ler's recent operations in Czechoslovakia and elsewhere amount to. The noble terminology that the Fuehrer gives to his predatory deeds doesn't fool the world. Perhaps it doesn't fool Germans, either, so much as the Nazis seem to imagine. Evidence grows that most Germans, like most honest people in other civilized countries, believe honesty is the best policy, for nations as for individuals.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-10
County Reforms

Down in Fairfield County the legisla- tors have been checking over the bills chargeable to county government costs and find that by the process Of elimlra- tion efficiency and economy could be attained. AS the legislative committee named to do the probing into county expenditures started its work 1t com mented that the job was non-partisan one, which it certainly is, and that the object was to eliminate 'non-esSentlal services. There's stumbling block, for what may be "non-essentials" to some are essentials to others, notably those vitally affected by the removal.
 One of the first things under consider ation is the Danbury jail. If it should be reported back that it can be discontinued, the first step in the gradual breakdown of the country system of government Will have begun. Its basis today can be found right in the county jails, for most of the remaining county institutions are gradually being absorbed into state or local systems. But in the jails we have today what primarily and principally constitutes your county government.
 Eliminate the county jails and without establishing some other means of caring TOT prisoners aWa1L1ng JrlaIS, as we'll as those sentenced to short terms for var ious misdemeanors, and you necessitate the creation of the state jail farm. It's really up to the individual counties if they are going to support this idea or stick to the present system. Ultimately the cost of fixing up county jails is going to be SO high that the people will just up and demand that they be abolished. The better jails may be retained, but some are bound to go. That we know without looking to Fairfield County for aid in such movement.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-10

It's one thing for town or city to get an expensive sewage disposal plant and another to get plant that will continue to function properly down through the years. Milford has just had such an experience. A year ago it put into oper- ation a fine new sewage disposal plant that cost almost million dollars to build. Today the town finds that the system requires expensive repairs to the tune of about $115, 5,OO0. The plant has worked at full capacity despite the fact that only one-fourth the number of connections it is supposed to service have been made. What would happen if all the connections were made the town officials don't know. But one thing is pretty certain. We'll wager that Milford has an accounting with the firm which put the plant into operation before many months or the townspeople won't be the same doughty Connecticut citizens that we know about.
