POstIude to Armageddon

First there's the quick death = burst ing bombs and strafing machine-guns. Later, when the echo of the guns and roaring planes has died away, the other kind of death comes along = malnutri- tion, outright starvation, disease, deSola- ton of all hope. Nearly every nation in Europe faces the bleak prospect of that second kind of death, made more tor turouS by it's slowneSS. Governments will do what they can. But continent, cut off from sea lanes and ravaged by military conquest, can scarcely be expected to pro- vide adequate food supplies for everyone. Before the Hitler boot Stomped down on the still hopeful peoples of Europe'S lesser powers it was not so bad carrying ration cards and subsiSting on meager allotmentS of food Now that war has come and gone through their towns and fields, the sur vivorS must regard what remains of their lives and their dreams as empty utilities. VanquiShed France will feel the pinch Of winter as never before. Drastic conserva- tion orders have been issued by the V1chy government in a desperate attempt to minimize the human suffering that seems inevitable
 Bread may not be served until it is "A hours old to discourage anyone from de- veloping a taste for it. Restaurants may not serve coffee with the evening meal. Cheese may not be eaten with meat. Baths may be taken only on certain days Pa irons are discouraged from asking for paper wrappings around their purchases Shoes and clothing are scarce. Razor blades and toothpaste will not last long, Saccharine is being used widely as sugar substitute. The soap supply is nearly depleted.
 In Itay, the government has banned new spaghetti factories. The present out put, it is explained, is far greater than raw materials available. In Jugoslavia, there is no war. Crops were reasonably good. Nevertheless, strict food control was recently decreed because Germany and Italy still expect this little nation to keep up the arge exports to the Fascist countries
 The formula will always be the same: First war, then famine. One may be more spectacular than the other, but the end is the same The sufferers will be those who never sought war. They will be the women and the children and the poor - the survivors among the civilians who were targets for aerial raids. There's so much that must be done; so little one can do.

Third Term And Unwritten Law

Everyone knows that no written law forbidS President to serve third term. Many people do not know that there is no unwritten law against third term, though all lawyers know that unwritten law is something far different from what some anti-third termers claim
 A custom or tradition which has come repeatedly before the United States Con- gress for enactment into law and which just as often Congress has refused to enact into law has just that often been rejected as the law of the land and as custom binding in law upon the nation. No Congress is ever likely to make it law since the time may come, whether or not the present is an instance, when the safety of the country will depend on retaining president for three terms and the positive rejection of his opponent.

We're beginning to get bit alarmed about the proposed new road up the Nau- gatuck Valley There has been so much mention of it during the last few months that if it doesn't come true now the sky is apt to come crashing down on us. The latest mention of the route and the neces- sity of improving the existing highway between the industrial centers of Bridge port and Waterbury, as well as other i'm portant Naugatuck Valley. manufactur- ing towns, was made by Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin in a campaign address in Nau- gatuck recently. He spoke of the plans that the Highway Department is mak- ing for this new roadway, which caused the Bridgeport Telegram to comment: ''The Naugatuck Valley road at one time was second only to the Post road in the number of cars it carried daily. Whether or not this is true today we do not know. The road by modern standards is now outmoded. It is narrow, winding, and dangerous. The fact that so many large industrial trucks must use it going and coming from the great factories in the valley have made travel all the more diff ficult for passenger cars .. -

. Britain's Toll - And Ours

We continue merrily on our way, killing each month with deadly automobiles more Americans than the Germans are killing of British with deadly bombs. The July toll was 2,76O, probably more civil ianS than have been killed by all the Ger man mass raids on England to date.
 But we can get some crumb of comfort from the thought that at last, after an unbroken nine-month rise in that toll, July showed per cent drop from the figure of a year ago, 2850. To accomplish this in the face of increased traffic and the vacation travel season is something. Local campaigns in many cities, and the continuing pressure of the National Safe ty Council give hope that we have at last arrested the upward sweep of the toll of the automobile, invented and developed for our pleasure and profit, but so often carelessly turned into a scatterer of tragedy and death.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-31

How familiar those words sound to us. We don't know when it was we started to sound the cry for better valley route. Despite all the improvements made along it's length from Ansonia up to Torrington, in many parts it is still typical of the highways of the early twenties It isn't modern in many respects, save where it has been widened to modern require ments near the several valley towns. The section from Naugatuck to Beacon Falls is particularly unsafe for speedy driving by pleasure vehicles. After dark, too, it ee more df tyS by virtue n Of the route. It does merit prompt attention from the Highway Department.

But the main point is this: the
 choice is the peoples, and it is a free choice.
LET THE FAIRIES RULE
(New York sun)

(New York Sun)
 Science tells us that the coloring of the foliage in the fall is caused by thus and so; that each flaming leaf is the result of a chemical process. However, old-fashioned folk will continue to believe that color loving fairies are responsible for the painted leaves; indeed, that color mad fairies concocted the chromatic brew. In process that so smacks of magic as does the transformation from green, russet and brown to gold and scarlet one is firmly convinced that it must be explained on the basis of unscien- tific fairies Let science with its causes and effects give way for Octo- Der to the little nseen artists of the woodlands. Let the unseen col orists swing their bright brushes to their hearts content and to ours without rule of chlorphyll and sugars and the rest. Let them rule the day uncontested in the corridors of autumn color. The scientists should speak softly, if at all; they should not rush in where angels fear to tread. Besides, were not the fairies here first?

White House with William Knud- sen and other Defense commis- SionerS to sell the President the first 100 new National Defense" stamps which come in 1c, % and Sc denominations.
 "This is d strictly cash on the line proposition, MT. Presi- dent," said Walker. Have you got six doIIars?"
 Roosevelt reached for his bill-
 fold. It contained one five dollar bill, no more. "Hmmm- short dollar, he unused.
 Borrowing, as Shakespeare said, may dull the edge of husban- dry" but on the other hand not everyone gets the chance to lend the President buck. Everyone in the room grabbed for his wal let simultaneously. But Walker was the first to produce the dol- lar.
 Grinning, Roosevelt promised to repay Walker on cnry next pay day" @
 NOTE Since all personal needs are handled by his aides, the President has virtually no use for spending money, but usually carries $5 in his pocket for emer- gencies. D. s. BUSINESS AND NAZIS
 Amazing but little known fact is the way American business firms are contributing to the Nazi propaganda and infiltration in tin America. Their contribution is indirect and probably unwitting, but nevertheless harmful to the United States.
 Officials have found that U. s. firms engage German business houses in Latin America to act as their distributing agents, due to the fact that the Germans have excellent sales connections, with branch offices everywhere - par ticularly in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico. Also the Germans have sought American lnerchan- disc to sell, being cut off from for mer sources in Germany.
 But the German merchants are not solely merchants. Either because they are members of the Nazi party, or are under. Nazi pressure at home, pr because they expect Germany to win the war and want to back the win ming horse, they contribute to Nazi propaganda agencies in Latin America. q
 This may take the form of ad- vertising in pro-G German papers, contributing to the local German
