The Law Still Holds

The ruling of Judge Frank P. McEvoy last week in Superior Court on the con- stitutionality of Connecticut's birth con- trol law differs from that of Judge Ken meth Wynne in only one respect. Judge Wynne held that the law was unconsti- tutional where it interfered with the rights and duties of physicians to protect the health and lives of patients by pre- scribing birth control methods. Judge Wynne did not attempt to rule that this state should not have a law against birth control. All of which means Supreme Court test sooner or later.
 Proponents of law against birth con- trol, and there are many in addition to the thousands of members of the Roman Catholic Church in this state, will never give up their efforts to convince their neighbor that their belief in a law out laying legalized birth control is founded not solely on religious beliefs or feelings, but upon natural laws as well. And there is more logic behind their claims than there is in those advanced by birth con- trol advocates.
 The taking of life in the embryo form may seem quite different than murder, homicide or manslaughter, but there is just as much moral responsibility on the individual We can't duck behind the skirts of science or excuse ourselves on the ground of inconvenience or economy. Birth control demands of the individual a complete surrender of so many moral qualities that we wonder it's advocates quite have the courage to preach it as openly as they do.
 We hope Connecticut never surrenders its stand, an old one, on this all-important issue of an age that is fast becoming solely materialistic.

AN EARLY THANKSGIVING?
 (Hartford Courant)

There is doubtless merit in the Presidents observation that Thanks giving this year comes inconvenient- ly close to Christmas and that it could better be celebrated a week or two earlier than the customary date. Certainly no sanctity sur rounds the last Thursday in Novem- Der except as attaches to it from the fact that Lincoln happened to choose that day for "devout ack- nowledgement to the Supreme Be- ing, of thanksgiving for "the signal success that Divine Providence has recently vouchsafed to the opera tions of the United States fleet and army in the harbor of Mobile, and the reduction of Fort Powell; Fort Gaines and Fort Morgan, and the glorious achievements of the army under Major General Sherman in the State of Georgia resulting in the capture of the city of Atlanta" The seceltion of the day was merely hap pen-stance and there is no reason why national day of thanksgiving should fall each year on the last Thursday of November merely be- cause 1t suited Lincoln's convenience to set tha time to celebrate the battle of Mobile Bay and the fall of Atlanta.
 But If a change is to be made, 1t should come after an adequate pub- lie discussion and after the fullest consideration has been given to all the interests concerned. It may be deplorable that 6 homely festival like Thanksgiving has extensive commercial association. but 1t is a

No More Nice Reading

One of the pleasurable parts about the biennial reports of our various state de- partments has been in reading the re- ports they turn out Some of them in the past have been extremely lengthy and quite detailed to say the least, but we always enjoyed the subject matter. We refer in particular now to reports of the State Park and Forest Commission, the State Water Commission, the Fish and Game Commission, ard a few others, which we really took the trouble to read from front page to back.
 There won't be any more of these long reports in pamphlet form issued by the state departments. State Finance Com- missioner Olin Glenn Saxon has decided to pare printing costs and the biennial reports are the first to suffer- Their cost must be cut in half and to do this means elimination of lot of features of these reports that hitherto has transferred them from a bare recital of facts and figures to readable stories of what has been accomplished in the past two years and what is to take place in the coming biennium.
 Of course 1t may be that some depart ments can get within the 50 per cent reduction in printing expenses by elim- mating other matter throughout the year, but those departments whose heavy printing bill Is the publication of bien- flial report will find it necessary to change their entire style of report. We're sorry

At the present time there is state wide survey of traffic signals being con- ducted in Connecticut. It's good idea and one that ought to be done fairly reg ularly until we have established such uniformity throughout the state that no motorist fears to travel in any part of it. Of course the situation now is lot bet ter than it was some years ago when you'd find a different kino of signal in every town. Today at least we have made sufficient progress so that the general type of traffic control indicator is the same. We have the flash-type warning lights and the red and green signal lights. But there are other devices, too, that need to be put in shape, notably warning signs about speed limits, etc. Once the state falls into line on such procedure therel be a noticeable trend towards fewer accidents and certainly less confusion among operators.

Views of The Press

fact that cannot be denied. The first reaction to the Presidents an- nouncement that he will proclaif Thanksgiving a week early this year came from the turkey growers, who fear that their raising and marketing schedules will be disrupt- ed. Before the turkey growers had quieted down, the football mana gers raised howl; the Thanksgiving game, for many colleges, is the big game of the year and it is now too late to rearrange their schedules. At this writing, the cranberry pickers, pumpkin-raisers, walnut shelters, pie-makers and florists have not yet been heard from, but their protests may be expected any moment.
 Although 1t is celebrated in every state and in the District of Colum- bia, Thanksgiving is not 8 national legal holiday. Only one day. Armi- stice Day. is set aside by federal statute for celebration. All the oth- CTS are provided for by state laws. Tn Connecticut, Thanksgiving is taken care of by a provision that "any day appointed or recommend ed by the Governor of this State or the President of the United States as day of thanksgiving, fasting or religious observance shall each be a legal holiday" and customarily the governor as well as the president proclaims 1t. In practice. the selec- ton of the day is, in most states, the joint responsibility of the gov- ernor and the president. and prop crly the states whose laws make the celebration e public holiday ought to be consulted before the tra- ditionaI date is changed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-28

A long time ago we talked about the need of erecting new street signs all over the city. That need is still imperative. About the time we last discussed the Sit- uation the city was having street numbers painted on curbs. That wasn't a bad idea, but, of course, like everything else it had to be kept up. Painted numbers eventually are worn off and must be re- painted. The same is true of street signs. They can't last forever. Some day we hope to see an entirely new type of street mark patented and put into usage here. It will be durable and legible, both at night and under other poor conditions of visibility.
