A Thought for Today
No Waiting Lists

One of the most enheartening state
ments yet coming from Governor Ray
1nond E. Baldwin in Hartford is that OF
recent date announcing that no longer
are there waiting lists at any of our
state tuberculosis Sanatoria. Following
recent inspection of the five hospitals
the governor announced this. All OF
them have been affected by the huge
institutional expansion program which
the state is rapidly completing and for
which the Legislature authorized big
bond issuance several years ago.
For years it has been impossible for
tubercular patients to secure immediate
admittance to the several state hospitals
we maintain. This was no fault of au-
thorities, but due to the fact that our in
situations had not expanded as rapidly
as was necessary. 1t was also due to the
fact, if we may say so, that continued
COP administrations refused to drop
what they termed their traditional pay
as-you-go method for short term notes or
bond issues to defray the tremendous
cost of building up and undermining the
existing institutions.
When it finally came to showdown
the state at one fell swoop went in for
institutional expansion on tremendous
scale, simply because years of refusal to
spend the money on our tuberculosis
sanatoria, our mental hospitals, and
schools for the predetermined had col
lected everything to be done in one huge
pile. Now that this program has been
almost completed all of us can take great
pride in the fact that the state has
accomplished what it set out to do. The
statement that there are no waiting lists
at the sanatoria is one of victory and
achievement.

40 Years Ordained

All Connecticut is proud of the fact
that early this week the Most Rev. Maui
rice F. McAuliffe, Bishop of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Hartford, completed
forty years as priest. In his customary
humble and retiring way Bishop Nc
ALliffe passed the occasion as just
another milestone in his priestly career
to which should be attached no special
significance. That is entirely typical of
this man whom so many of us in the
state of all denominations have come to
love. -
Connecticut has been very fortunate in
the calibre of the men who have served
as diocesan heads of great cross-section
Of our people. Bishop McAuliffe's name
certainly takes rank with those of his
distinguished and holy predecessors. No
greater tribute to him could be paid this
week than heartfelt expression of graft
tude from all of us that his health still
permits him to shepherd his flocks. On
this anniversary silent prayer for con-
tinued service is demanded.

Workers of the New KenSington plant
of the Aluminium Company left no doubt
where they stood when Communists bit
terly criticized settlement of wage dis
pute in this vitally-importan defense
Industry. The organized workers had
asked a 10-cent-an-hour increase. A
strike seemed imminent. The govern
ment was naturally concerned, for much
aluminium goes int oairplanes. The Ma
tional Defense Committee strongly urged
settlement. Finally the CIO-organized
workers agreed to take 2 cents an hour
increase. There was no strike.
Communists then began distributing
pamphlets criticizing the unions action
and insisting that they ought to have
struck. So the union formally resolved:
"We, the members of Local 2, AVA, ques-
ton the right of an outside political party
to come in, distribute disruptive trash,
and criticize action voted by majority
of our members. -.
eve stand on our record as members
of an American organization, devoted to
lettering the living standards of Ameri-
can workmen - within the boundaries
of the U. S. Constitution"
Without going into the right to dis
tribute "disruptive trash,' it should be
remembered that there is also the right
to throw 1t in the ash can.

so my creed, If I were asked to
define it, would run something like
this:
II believe in America because in
it we are free-free to choose our
government, to speak our minds, to
observe our different religions;
Because we are generous with
our freedom-we share our rights
with those who disagree with us;
Because we hate no people and
covet no peoples land;
Because we are blessed with a
natural and varied abundance;
Because we set no limit to a
mans achievement: in mind. fac
tory, field, or service in business or
the arts, an able man, regardless of
class or creed, can realize his ambi-
ton;
Because we have great dreams
and because we have the opportun-

of this issue so it doesn't explode

Perhaps even more difficult

COUNTING THE REINDEER AND
THE FISH
(New York SUM


The 1910 census Of the human
population of the United States
having been completed, attention
has turned to counting of quadru-
peds and fish. What the Depart
ment of the Interior describes as
"the greatest out-of-doors census Of
all time" has just been made in
Alaska. It consisted of count of
the reindeer in the Territory not in

enumeration is preliminary to their

of the Alaskan Eskimos. Herdsrnen,
dog teams and departmental agents

The national income for 1889 was near
ly 10000, 000, 900, the Commerce Depart
ment has announced. That is still well
under the peak of $82,900,000 200 for
1929, but because things produced in
these times bring lower prices than in
1929, actual physical production is prob
ably about equal to that year. Yet unem-
ployment is still with us. This points
again to the well-known fact that pro-
duction must be increased far above any
figures yet known in this country.
The armament wave will probably
cause a further increase in national pro-
duction in 1910 and for several years. But

be construed as valuable in "repelling In
Vasion."
This is q thing on which the states
ought to go slow. There is no war. It is
possible that state projects undertaken
in this way might not dovetail in with
national plans. And there is also always
the possibility that money from bonds
issued this without a vote might be used
for purposes whose defense value is most
dubious. Generally speaking, we will do
well to look to the national government
for our defense plans. State taxpayers
probably should look hard at any efforts
of their state governments to issue "war
bonds.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-08-02

The mere fact that the recent federal
census of Waterbury shows that we are
still just short of the 100000 mark proves
quite conclusively that the methods OF
computing population used by various
public or semi-public agencies can't be
accurate. For ten years now some of our
state departments have been using popu-
lation figures which placed this city well
above the 100000 mark. This figure
never correspondent to the federal census
figure and many of us would hopefully
accept the state instead of the federal
estimate. But after the current census
failed to break 100000 for us we should
be convinced that the true count is that
of nose by nose.

without a vote of the electorate "to repel

Those provisions are undoubtedly aimed
at cutting red tape In case of a war. Maine
has Just sold $1.000,000 worth of such
bonds, and the state Supreme Court has
