Taeoma's city finances were in
better shape by s1z6.210 at the

ment over last year of nearly 5
per cent of the amount levied.
There was $1,000. 1924 to be

The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-23

Would that more of us who are so aware of the value of the Visiting Nurse would acknowledge this service as we should. A small contribution if multi piled by the thousands of Waterbury men and women who actually benefit through healthy community would easily enable the association to balance its books for the entire year. It was only year or so ago that the continued efficient service of the Visiting Nurses was threatened by lack of sufficient funds to carry on the program set up and actually demanded by conditions locally.
 We urge our readers at this holy sea- son of Easter to keep the Visiting Nurses in mind and to render unto them the only reward that they seek - the con- tinued operation of their organization along lines that bring the most content ment and health happiness into Water bury homes that need them.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-23
No Haste About It

We were more than little amused if not actually amazed, to read recently that U. s. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson was not going to act hastily in filling the vacant federal judgeship in the Connecti- cut district. Of course Attorney General Jackson has only held his official position for few months, but the vacancy existed long before he succeeded Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy. In fact, the vacancy has existed so long that a SuSpi- cion is gradually creeping around the state, particularly in COP. circles, that actually there is no need for another fed eral judge in Connecticut
 This would hardly seem, though, to be true, for everywhere you may hear or read complaints about the Slowness of diSpo- sition of cases pending in federal courts. The justices complain that they are unable to keep pace with the number Yet right here in Connecticut we allow but one justice to continue to preside. Congress just the other day, in the face of con- siderable opposition, created batch of new federal judgeships all over the coun- try. If this be the case, then all the more reason for rounding out the Connecti- cut district court.
 We do not see anything gained by pro- 1onged delays in filling the Connecticut judgeship. AS it now stands there are more active candidates for the appoint nent than there were right after the resignation of Judge Edwin S. Thomas. If Washington believes that delayed ap- pointment will be accepted with more aplomb by the political forces of this state than one made immediately when the vacancy occurs, we're afraid it's in for surprise. The long delay has neither enhanced the dignity of federal court appointments nor has it removed any belief that ultimately politics will decide the successful appointee.
