Clubs try to attain. That is, they sys-
tematically examine their youths
physically, undertake to build up their
bodies, to give them sports and rec
reatlon, to find their occupatlonal
bents and to give them encouragement
and faith in the future But it is COM
pulsory And with it all, they inces-
sanity pound the Nazl and Fascist
mode of thought into these children.
They build for egimentation, for SUBJ
mission, and for mental and moral
subjection to their masters. They build
the egotism of race superiority. They
deny the right of criticism and free
expression. Their concept is: every in
dividual simply molecule in mass
directed state. 1t all has military
complexion of the deepest dye.
That is not what America wants.

More light conserves energy.
We do not see with our eyes
onIv. We see with our entire
body, heart, muscles, nerves;
all are a part of the seeing ma
chine. We can understand this
very easily if we consider the
every day experience OF drlV-
ing an automobile. If you drive
YOUR car 20 miles on a clear
day over a good road you are
Mt the least bit fatigued after
the drive. But, take that same
drive at night with darkness
around you and heavy fog
on he road and contrast your
feelings at the end of 20 miles.
You're all tired out. The same
applies when you try to read
with improper and insufficient
lighting. It is a strain on your
whole body as well as your
ewes and it tends to make you
nervous and irritable.

MORE RAIN DUE
 OVER WEEKEND
Rise In Temperature Con.
 verts Snow, Ice Into Slush

Slush and puddles formed by cars washing the slush into cleared catch basins providing further clogging, made Waterbury pedestrians take to the high road wherever possible today. The low road was wet-werra wet.
 Milder weather, coupled with .56 of an inch of rain, made downtown streets reminiscent of the spring freshet season in Hohokus, Kas. Ex- cept, of course, for the element of winter that remained in the sloppy slushy going.
 Motorists with no regard for the public-at-large, sprayed many pair of silk stockings with the cold musf at street intersections. Un- wary pedestrians bore the brunt of this aggravation.
 Some puddles were unfathomable, in the sense that appearances of depths were deceiving and many a water crevice was dangerous aroundo the ankles.
 The temperature by the official guage of Plumbing Inspector James R. Walker was 70 degrees at its high mark for the last twenty-four hours, 39 degrees at noon, 29 degrees early today. when the low mark was re- corded.
 The forecast is for more rain, to- night and tomorrow morning, with probable colder temperatures there after.
