"The Big Pond"
Makes Hit Here
(Bv HAROLD NuTTERl


"The Big Pond" a successful
Broadway play, made a big
splash at the high school audi
torium last Monday night and
the fortunate ducat ho' Iers were
carried away on a wave of en-
thusiasm. However, the only
feeling of dampness among the
buoyant audience was their de-
sire to throw the villain in the
drink. This was clearly shown
by the vociferous applause at
the end of the second act when
the villain was told off and at
the finish of the third when he
got his just desserts.
Yachts to the ladies of the
Business and Professional Wom-
ans club for sponsoring the
Collins Entertainment Festival
who presented a well-rounded
series of four entertainments of
which "The Big Pond" was the
last.
The play was a comedy writ
ten by George Middleton and
Augustus Thomas and it's humor
was at times as light as a ruff
ling breeze on the water and so
strong at others as to make the
audience roar like a gale with
laughter. The story is about an
American business man travel
ing in Europe with his family
and aid. The daughter falls in
love with their romantic French
courier and he will not tell of
his love because he lacks money.
The angry father brings the
Frenchman to America to show
him up against American ways
but it is the foreigner who
comes out on top.
The actors were well cast in
this tempest of human emotions.
Marcus Mensch plays the faith
er who plows through like a bat
tleship. Jean F. Ancona is the
mother and she leads her hus-
band around like a quiet title
tug. Otto Imig, the villain, rides
the waves like a surf boat and
Edward M. Rowley, the hero, is
usually as low as a submarine.
Patricia Bryant, the daughter, is
like a yacht, a prize worth get
ting. Of course the submarine
sinks all other craft and cap
lures the yacht.
If the Festival comes back
next year, get your bathing suit
and dive in.

Drunken Driving
On Railroad
Is Encouraged?

The First Division of the Ma
tional Railroad Adjustment
board recently rendered decis-
ion, whereby they restored the
full seniority rights and nearly
two years back pay to a loco
motive engineer who was dis
missed in February, 1889, for
reporting to work while intoxi-
Gated.
The Pennsylvania Railroad
claims that the man in question
was considered unfit for duty by
both members of his own train
crew and by a physician who ex-
amined him.
Railroad officials made the
following statement: Drunken
driving, although universally
condemned on the highways and
airways, is apparently to be con-
doned on the railways"
The company also says that
under the law of the state in
which the offense took place,
the Railroad is subject to a fine
if it permits a drunken man to
operate a train.
According to the company it
was the third offense committed
by the engineer, yet the adjust
ment board re-instated him on a
technicality. Officials claim that
the decision places the Railroad
in a dilemma.

horse on which you have wagered $2 crossing the finish line first. If you are among that group which still believes race-track fans are made up mostly of lovers of fine horseflesh you are in a minority. Parimutuel machines may do a lot to assure the bettor of an even break, but they also encourage betting among those who never before even dared bet on horse race.
 Even such a great track attraction as the Kentucky Derby is an occasion now not merely for the gathering of notables at Churchhill Downs, but for wagering of a stupendous amount of money all over the nation. It's time we recognized the fact that horse-racing is being made a legitimate form of gambling, Not to do this is to close our eyes to what actually is happening around us.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-05-02
Collection Of Rubbish

Just as many were quick to endorse the idea of having the city collect rub bish, here are those who feel that this should not be done and present good reasons for their stand in opposition. They claim that it costs lots of money, which is, of course, quite true. Here It might cost $100,000 year, which IS about tWo-thirds of a mill added to our present taxes when we are trying to lower the tax rate and encourage people to build or own homes. The service is not free.
 Another thought is that of competition with private business. Public collection of rubbish may put lot of little fellows out of the picture and it is generally admitted that private business can operate more el- ficiently than public enterprise, although this does not need to prevail at all times and everywhere. Another argument ad- vanced against public collection is that of rolling out can of rubbish to the front curb and having it emptied one day week.
 It means just one more thing to re- member to do around the house and most of us have enough to think about already. Rubbish is not as big health menace as garbage or organic matter, although it remains bigger fire hazard. We have some good ordinances to elim- mate unsafe, unsanitary, and unsightly conditions due to rubbish accumulation and if needs be the strong arm of the law should be enlisted to enforce them strictly.
 We have heard people comment after passing through Bridgeport or other places where they have public collection days what an unsightly thing it is to see the sidewalks filtered with cans of rub bish Waterbury, perhaps, could stand more public dumps where people would deposit their accumulations of trash and not just put them in some convenient neighbor's lot to become an eyesore and menace.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-05-02
More Appeasement?

While Britain spars slowly for an open ing in Europe, groping for an effective way to carry the war to Germany, in Asia she is also doing a little sparring. A recent speech by Ambassador Robert Craigie suggested that Britain may aban- don opposition to Japanese plans in China if her own interests in the Far East would be kept secure.
 It is useless to criticiSe. The British are in no position to get tough with Japan. They have plenty of other fish to fry. Not so long ago they had the closest relations with Japan, and even when Manchuria was first invaded, they refused to join the United States in protest, Whatever policies the United States adopts in Pa cific affairs, there are plain hints that we shall be alone in carrying them out
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-05-02
Finland Rebuilds

The courage that the Films showed in their short but disastrous war with Rus sia is being shown equally in their brave effort at reconstruction. If the United States had suffered losses proportional to those of Finland, 600,000 of our best men would be dead, 10000 wounded. There would be 20,000000 homeless after hay ing been driven from five states and property losses of billion and a half would have to be faced.
 Courageousy, Finland is developing whole new sections of Helsinki, resettling her homeless rebuilding the homes and factories bombed and shelled to ruin in the war A world which admired Fin land at war is likely to admire her equally in peace.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-05-02
Races or Wagers?

Par-mutuel machines at the first of the New York State race-tracks to open this season have been clicking merrily the past week or so. Anyone who had an idea that the people wouldn't flock to the track with the installation of the ma chimes or that the N. Y. populace would not take to them after long years of fra ternizing and patronizing "bookies' soon was disillusioned. Not only were attend ance figures broken this year, but also new thighs" for betting set.
 One wonders if this outpouring of track fans is to take pleasure in the run ming of great thoroughbred horses or to derive enjoyment from the sight of the
