Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
To do a good or wicked deed
A hint is all some people need.

- ~~~@eS
There is nothing slow about Reddy
Fox. 1t is very seldom that Reddy's
wits need any sharpening. You see,
it is by his wits that Reddy lives,
and when any one lives by his wits
the latter are usually very sharp
indeed.
Reddy sat on the snow in the
Long Lane and watched Bully the
English Sparrow fly back to Farmer
Browns Barn. Reddy's tongue
hung out of the corner of his mouth,
and a little water gathered on it.
so the Bob Whites are fat and
fine, eh? That means that they
have been having a good living. It
must be that Farmer Browns Boy
is feeding them. Yes. sir, that is
just what it must mean. These are
hard days for most folks to get
enough to eat, and If those Bob
Whites are fat, it is because they
are being fed regularly.
Nov, what did Bully come down
here to tell me that for?" Reddy
puckered up his brows and stroked
his whiskers thoughtfully. That
fellow didn't do it for nothing.
know him we'll enough to know that.
He wanted me to know that the
Bob Whites are being fed every day
up there at Farmer Browns. Prob
ably he is jealous and he thinks
that If I know where those Bob
Whites are I'll try to catch them.
He isn't far wrong in that. I don't
care what he did it for. I'm much
obliged to Bully A hint is all I
need, and he certainly gave me
that"
Reddy turned and trotted over to
the Green Forest to a certain secret
place of his own, where he felt sure
he would not be disturbed. He
wanted to think and plan, did Red
dy, and there is nothing like being
alone when you want to think and
plan.
If those Bob Whites are being
fed every day at Farmer Browns
they are living somewhere near
there" thought Reddy. TT is a
very sure thing that they are not
flying any great distance. The
thing for me to do is to find out
where they spend their time when
they are not up at Farmer Browns.
1t is of no use for me to try to
catch them while they are feeding
because I would very likely get into
trouble. BoWser the Hound is likely
to be around. and so is Farmer
Browns Boy. I won't bother to
hunt for those Bob Whites today,
but tomorrow morning at feeding
time I'll hide behind the old stone
wall in the old Orchard and see
what I will see" Reddy smiled
wickedly and licked his lips.

Don't Take Nv
Word for 1t

C0nfonmenf

Contonment
Noun. A place where troops are
assembled and sheltered.
Cantonment is the super surprise
word of the week.
Do you say "can-TOAN- -ment,"
rhyming the second syllable with
loan, moan?
If so, hang on for dear life, for
here comes real shock. All set?
Very we'll. Hark to this:
I have been unable to find a single
dictionary that lists the second sylla-
able to rhyme with loan!
Some dictionaries rhyme it with
bun; some rhyme it with don; others
rhyme it with boon! But none
rhymes it with loan.
Another curious fact about can
tonment is that find myself unable
to list first and second choice, so
evenly divided are the reliable die
tionaries. This has never occurred
before in the history of this column.
The reader, then, is left to select
as first choice the pronunciation
that appeals most to him.
Confession. Yes, I too always
said "kan-TOAN-ment, until the
day I wrote this article. I'll still
be red-faced when this appears in
printD
Correct pronunciation: First or
second choice, either: KAN-tun-
ment, kan-TAHN- -ment. Third
choice: kan-TOON-m -ment.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented)

POLICE BOARD
 PRESSES PROBE
Action to Continue to Be Independent of Alder-
 manic Inquiry

The police board plans to con- tinue its own investigation into poe lice department discipline whether or not the board of aldermen vote Monday night to begin police probe. Chairman William Verriker said that the police board, whose members yesterday spent several hours with Superintendent William J. Roach, will continue to consider matters of discipline within the de- partment.
 We didn't miss much, said Chairman Verriker in discussing the police commissioners conference with Superintendent Roach. Were taking up the whole thing from top to bottom, and additional confer ences will be needed"
 Republican aldermen will caucus before the meeting Monday night to discuss proposed resolution calling for an aldermanic investigation of the police department. The seven Republicans would need at least one of the eight Democratic votes to secure passage of such resolution. There are persistent reports that the police board plans shake-up Lf personnel as means of improving discipline, but MT. Verriker had no comment on these reports.
 The discipline question came to a head following the injuring of a policeman in f1recracker explosion at headquarters and the theft of $l1 from a contribution box for a bene- fit fund.

Sincerely,
 MICHAEL RUSSO.

I disagree with MT. Smith on number of things in his letter to you. I also am one who put his hopes on collective security to keep the world at peace. I think MT. Smiths most absurd state ment is that in which he claims that the World War was 8 war for Democracy. Of course nobody believes such nonsense.
 We cannot forget that the last war was fought for the same all legged reasons as this one and against an equally detestable ty- rant. And though victory was se- cured by the Allies the causes of war were not removed but aggra- vated by that very victory. What can be said today of the ruling clique in Germany can still be said of the rulers of England both are imperialist minded.
 Noble Products
 MT. Smith cites the League of Nations, Poland and Lithuania as noble products of the First World War. The truth is that these countries and the League were created in the same spirit of ven- geance as the Versailles Treaty and for the same purpose.
 The League of Nations was or- iginally created to enforce the status quo of the Versailles Treaty. Disregarding the original purpose of the League the advo- cates of collective security and the Soviet Union worked hard and in- cessantly to convert it into an in- strument of peace. Unfortunately neither the rulers of Britain or France ever accepted the latter attitude. British imperialism chose to pursue its own treacherous for- eign policy of giving encourage ment to aggression. It wrecked the League of Nations, collective SC. curity and the peace of the world. Now it has plunged its own people into a mad war against the mon- ster it created.
 MT. Smith is immoderately gen. erous when he speaks of Poland and Lithuania as democracies. If Poland's disgraceful government must be put in any category it is that of fascism, next to Germany itself. In the case of Lthuania its independence was refused rec ognition by a principal allied power, the U. S.. until four years after it had been established. This is only a sample of the huge mockery the Allies made of self determination and democracy in Europe.
 In the diplomatic language fol- lowing the World War the Bal kans and Battles were known as the "cordon sanitaire", 8 safety belt to maintain a strangle hold over the defeated imperialist rival, Germany, and to harass the rising young giant of socialism, the So-

The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-08-17

With today as the final day in Waterbury,S Safety Week a week set aside by the Citizens, Permanent Safety Committee for the observ- ance of safety at home, at work and at play, statements of thanks were issued by two of the men re- sponsibe for the success of Water bury:s first Safety Week.
 Patrick J. Wallace, chairman of the Safety Week Committee, states:
 We bring to a close Waterbury's Safety Week and in doing so I and other members of the Citizens Committee feel that well worth while job has been done. The re- ception given to the week dedicated to safety in all of its phases has been remarkable. I believe that the safety promotion done this week has gone far in making safety practices habits which will be car- ried out from day to day.
 Our purpose in creating this week dedicated to safety was for the direct purpose of making Wa terbury a safer city in which to live. I believe that this has been done. The public of Waterbury has taken to the idea that personal safety is their own responsibility with such sincereness that we of the Safety Week Committee feel a great step forward has been made in creating safety consciousness for the future.
 Alan c. Curtis, co-chairman of the Safety Week Committee says:
 "It is hard work but the efforts put into Safety Week will pay dividends. To create the impression that people have to shoulder the burden of their own personal safety is a difficult task but I believe that this has been done during Water bury's Safety Week.
 T, and members of the Safety Week Committee, wish to thank the entire populace of Waterbury for the splendid cooperation given to make this first week ever dedica- ted to safety in Waterbury, the suc- cess it was. Without the "coopera- tion we received from all branches
