The Roxbury Citizens Committee is
closing its drive to aid the st. Mark
Gymnasium Fund with a Mammoth
Basketball Game and Dance, to be held
Friday evening, Feb. 2, 1910, at the
South Armory, Dartmouth Street.
This Committee has already, through
its various projects, turned over to St.
Mark well over 5000 towards the build
ing fund. The committee is being
aided by the 372nd Infantry, MING.
in presenting the Washington Omegas,
composed of some of the collegiate
basketball players of the Middle
Atlantic Region.
On the Washington Omega lineup
are Willie Wynne, ex-Captain Of How
ard University Basketball Team, who
was All-ClAA forward for four years.
Willie Wynne is acclaimed by most
of the sports writer's as the best bas-
ketball player ever to be produced by
a colored school.
The Washington Omega team con-
sists of the following: Woody Gwalt-
ney, 1888, Boot Williams, 1897, Herbie
Jones, 1886, Willie Wynne, 1885. all
ClAA for four years, (all ex-captains
of Howard W Wilmeth Sidat-Singh,
Syracuse U. l-American), Otis
Troupe, Morgan College, Captain 1884,
all-ClAA for two years, Wendell Shell
ton, Union u, Tim Irving, Lee Bridges
and Ham Johns of Howard, u, Eddie
Davis, Va Seminary, Coach.
The 372nd basketball team to date
is still undefeated.
This will be the greatest aggrega-
ton of collegiate basketball players
ever to play on a Boston court and
this game will top all amateur basket
ball games in this section of the coun-
try this year.

Proper Functioning

The Board of Aldermen was recently
called upon to take an active part IN Inc
question of establishment OF q six-oay
week In our Fire Department personnel
So far as The Democrat can ascertain
there is little or no opposition to the IN
stallation of this more equitable form OF
employment. But it does seem as II the
matter is one primarily coming under
the jurisdiction of the Board OF Fire COM
misSioners. Whether or not the alder
men should interfere is perhaps purely
academic, but certainly involves board
courtesy as well.
Oftentimes it requires the influence
of some outside agency to compel or
secure action on a matter that Is open
to discussion In this instance, however,
it would seem as if the matter was not
being pigeon holed, but rather was being
worked out by the proper authorities so
that when the plan was presented 1or
formal adoption no loose ends would be
left to tie up. We believe in allowing our
city boards to function in their own do
main and to discourage any poaching.
It should be kept in mind, though, that
setting up of six-day week for the fire
men in the 1941 budget will probably
also mean similar provisions for the
Police Department. The movement to
conform with general labor standards is
not going to be accomplished at saving
in departmental costs. There will be
budget increases to care for forces that
must work seven days week on slx-day
shift.

Coordinated Action

There need be no cause for alarm nor
any furry of excitement over the fact
that Connecticut towns are called upon
to set up local national defense commit
tees. It is but natural that some such
action should be taken here in Connec-
ticut where so many industries import
ant in rearmament program are located.
Citizens who have the best interests of
their community at heart will accept the
request without any fanfare of comment
other than that necessary to bring about
proper compliance.
Waterbury is like good many other
Connecticut cities and towns in that it is
open not merely to sabotage, but to the
crazy schemes of crack-brained enthu-
siasts and sentimentalists. No one wants
to be responsible for putting in front OF
some disillusioned individual the thought
or idea of Gripping towns vital utilities,
vat it's difficult to avoid doing so when
lust such a situation as the present one
arises. We are all aware of what might
happen, yet we hesitate to point out
wherein lies our danger.
Connecticut can continue along its
orderly patch of procedure these days
secure in the knowledge that all our
officials, national, state, and local, are
cooperating to insure US OF continual
fiori Of the American way Of living.

DIR. Frederick Cook

The death of Dr. Frederick Cook brings
to mind most wildly the conflict that
ragged all over the United States back IN
1909 when he was advancing his claims
as discoverer of the North Pole. DR.. Cook
was acclaimed on every side and by every
one until Commodore Robert Peary re-
turned from the Arctic wastes and stated
that DR.. Cooks claims were false ana
that the latter was taking" his discov-
ery stories. What a controversy this pre-
cipitated. People talked of nothing but
the rival claims for months and months.
In the end it was poor DR.. Cook who
suffered the humiliation of disgrace. Al
though he was never able to substantlates
his claims through long lifetime OF
persistent effort to do so, there were
many people who always believed in him
and who gave him their confidence and
trust. It was probably these few friend
ships that kept him alive of recent years.
He was more or less lonely figure OF
man and it's safe to say the resentment
that was expressed thirty-one years ago
had all but died out in the United States
We wonder if this century will ever
hear the end of the DR.. Cook-North Pole
episode.

The Drive Is On

Down in New York City Court OF Do
nestle Relations justice is trying to 90
something about summer vandalism in
the public schools. He is waging cam
paign among school-children to educate
them to the fact that all the windows
they break in the schools is just that
much more money out of the pockets OF
their fathers. A tremendous amount OF
damage is done to school property when
sessions are out, all the more so where
communities are thickly populated. In
a small town the youngster has less
chance of breaking pane OF glass and
certainly less of not being detected.
But in New York and in other large
cities, even right here in Waterbury, Win
dows are broken, doors are often
smashed, and where admittance to a
building is secured all sorts OF damage IS
done inside to desks, blackboards, and
other appurtenances. In New York last
wear it cost $21 500 to replace broken win
dows and this was much less than the
amount of damage in the previous year
when it went up to $60,000. It's easy to
say that large city can we'll afford to pay
such a bill, but it can't any more than
small town can't afford to put Jew num-
dred dollars in glass replacement:
Anything that can bring children 10
understand just what they are DONG
when they damage public property Is a
lesson well taught. Often we think that
too few of our public officials and men IN
high places take the trouble to caution
children or to advise them on the subject
of civic pride.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-08-07

The recent ultimatum OF Governor
Raymond E. Baldwin that merit system
employees in the state government not
be asked for political contributions this
year is timely It's about time, we be-
iieve, that some effort was made to dis
tinguish between those who feel obliged
influence and the ones who think that
qualifications enter into the matter. If a
man is qualified for post and fulfills 1t
very capably he should not be placed un.
der undue embarrassment along about
election time. However, that does not
prevent the voluntary donation OF con-
tributions to the campaign fund OF a
party or individual. What this s state ate
wholesale solicitation of department.
for funds to put the party in power back
into office on the theory that everyones
Job is in danger. What career is the
one that must depend regularly on sop
thrown into the political patronage

GAG Years of Freedom

Like an immovable little rock in the
middle of the flooding stream OF totall-
tarianism stands Switzerland. In days
when MANY things are being swept away
by that flood, it is pleasant to look upon
SO firm, even if so small rock. People
of Swiss extraction all over the world
have recently been celebrating 649 years
of Swiss freedom. They have been point
ing out some of the virtues that nave
enabled Switzerland to survive When
others have fallen. Switzerland has every
disadvantage that is supposed to go WIN
democracy. 1t is, in many ways, tne
most democratic country in the World.
Yet it thrives.
It's population is mixed. Seventy per
cent of them speak German. But Filth
Columning" is negligible. Why? Because
the regime is so just, so advantageous
that practically every SWeitzer knows ne
is better off than under tota!ltarlan
system. Switzerland is poor IL depends
on export and import, from which II mas
been largely cut off by the war. Yet SO
rugged and independent are us people
that they have simply pulled in their col,
lective belt and settled down to walt until
conditions clear up.
Switzerland is small and weak. There
is no question that it could be overrun
by neighboring conquerors. But SWltz-
erland is prepared and resolute. The cost
of any such invasion, in the face OF the
natural ruggedness of country and PEG
Die would be out OF proportion to the loot.
So in the midst of war, Switzerland re-
mains at peace. Switzerland is a living
demonstration of the principle of live and
let live.
There are four distinct cultures, Ger
man, Italian, French and Romansch.
People of each are allowed to live cultur-
ally as they wish. Yet by cooperating
achieved country without great wealth,
yet without dire poverty either. They
have achieved country in which every
male citizen is trained soldier, and yet
which is not militaristic. They nave
achieved a country in which freedom can
and does live side by side with patrlotlsm11'
military effectiveness, industrial ef1l-
cheney, and social progress.
