Highway Safety

Highway safety is the theme OF the
session that is being held at Yale Uni
versitv this week with state and local
officials cooperating in one great move
ment to make this state conscious OF the
dangers that exist at all times along
our roads and streets and how best they
NAV be met and overcome. There have
been preludeS to this very important
session. Standing out among these pre-
ludes were the critical comments OF the
present governor and a past one on the
breakdown in law enforcement through
Influence" welded by persons OF prom
inence or position.
"Ticket-fixing" was the particular
bone of contention. 1t covers multi
tude of weaknesses in human nature.
But primarily it shows a tendency on
the part of all of us to duck our respon-
sibilities, to escape penalties without
paying. The sooner we become educat-
ed to the fact that we must all share the
unpleasant features of motoring as well
as the enjoyable ones, the quicker we
will arrive at a solution of problems that
prove so costly today.
Motorists who know that they must
paw for parking tickets no longer break
parking ordinances. If we know that a
Speeding case can't be fixed in certain
town we are less apt to break the exist
ing speed laws. The sooner all OF us
come to the realization that our high
ways are only as safe as we individually
make them, the sooner We'll start to see
accident tolls diminishing. We've got to
share alike in this common fight to end
death and disaster on the road. 1t begins
right with the first time ticket is put
on your steering wheel for parking too
long or in forbidden spot. Don't con-
tinue the chain of law breaking by
demand for enforcement breakdown.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-28
Just for Practice

According to Mayor Jasper McLevy
he's in the gubernatorial race this year
"iust to keep in trim. And also to be
elected, if this is his year. The Bridge
port Socialist who has created his own
party within this state, since it no longer
can be properly said to correspond to the
Socialist Party that vieS in the nation
for political honors, will be making his
eighth consecutive endeavor for the gov
ernorship He made the best run OF his
long career two years ago when ms loo,-
600 vote total spelled defeat for DR.. wilbur
L. Cross and pushed Governor Raymond T..
Baldwin into office as minority governor.
Don't be confused by the jocular re-
marks of the Bridgeport executive He
is in earnest about this job of becoming
governor. Mayor McLevy would like to
apply the principles which have contln-
ued him in office in Bridgeport to our
state government He honestly believes
that the state needs and is entitled to
rule by an executive and party that
has not had finger in the political pie
of Connecticut for years and years. He'll
make a determined fight this fall, for he
must live up to the reputation acquired
in 1888 and to do this he has to have
lots of votes.
The abnormal run of the Socialist
Party in 1888, however, is not likely to
be duplicated this fall. There are no
extraordinary circumstances to influence
voters. And we doubt if the Socialists,
even with McLevy at the head, can keep
the 10000 votes that were theirs in the
last state election. 1t has been rumored
that Mayor McLevy would not seek the
governorship for this very reason. "A
small vote this fall might harm his
chances in Bridgeport, but it didn't be-
fore 1888 so probably won't if it occurs
next November.
You can rest assured the McLevy
forces are going to do everything in
their power to run up high vote =
win the election, if they can. It behooves
Democrats and Republicans to remem-
Der this and be prepared to meet the
test of party solidarity better than they
did two years ago.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-28
Views of The Press

standing so accurate and sympathy
SO acute that he made literary his
tory.
Thus he was twice a pioneer.
Many other writers have since fol-
lowed the furrow that his pen may
be said to have traced across the
Middle Border, as he called it,
Emerson Hough and Bess Streeter
Aldrich, Villa Gather and iona
Gale, Cinclair Lewis and Theodore
Dresser, Ruth Suchow and William
Allen White. Nor has the intensely
cultivated field yet shown signs OF
becoming exhausted. The recent
works of such writers as Harold
Sinclair, Donald Culrose Peattie
August Derleth. to name but three
of many, show that in a literary
sense the Middle West is not suffer-
ing depletion of the soil from which
novels spring. The windy reaches Of
the Dakotas, the sod houses of Ne
braska, the groves Of Illinois, the
neighborly towns Of Iowa, are still
provocative settings for the teller OF
stories.
:, If the Middle West seems likely
to become one of the most enrichly
documented sections of the nation
in fiction, credit must be given to
Hamlin Garland for having shown
the way. His life was long, his in
terests were many. his harvest was
great.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-28

Maybe Lees surrender at Appomattox
didn't solve everything. The battle over
states rights has broken out again, and
it looks as if ". no, no, grandpappy,
don't go for your musket. This thing can
be settled another way. Governor E. D.
Rivers of Georgia is mumbling something
about the violation of his states Sover-
eighty because United States marshals
arrested him for ignoring federal court
injunction. The governor twice had
ordered State Highway Commission
Chairman w. Linton Miller removed
bodily from office by state militiamen.
Miller got state injunction, which
Rivers ignored Then Miller got federal
Injunction, and the governor said the
squabble was none of Uncle Sans bust
ness
In Oklahoma, the federal government
obtained an injunction to prevent Gov
ernor Leon C. Phillips from prosecuting
a state restraining order against the gov
ernor and ordering Phillips to remove
state troops from the sec, 000, 900 Grand
River Dam project. Phillips says states
rights are involved because the federal
government has failed to pay $869, 900
Indemnity for roads and highways which
would be inundated by the dam.
There's lot of comfort in the thought
that we've learned something during the
past 80 years - that whatever sides may
be right in both cases, Well be able to
settle things without again resortlng to
war, even though the national guard has
been called into both pictures.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-28

The official landmark for map-makers
on the North American continent is
small concrete block sunk in the earth
on ranch in Kansas. This concrete
stone, protruding about six inches above
the surface of the ground is almost at the
geographic center of the United States
and probably is one of the reasons why it
was designated as the one point from
which all official maps would be calcu-
lated Not only do United States Off
Gals use this stone, but also Mexico and
Canada have adopted it, too. The center
of the stone is exactly in north latitude
80 degrees, 80 minutes, 26 seconds, 1886
and its longitude is SO degrees, 80 min
utes, 80 seconds, 500 west of Greenwich.
Every survey that is made, consequently,
in the United States or Canada can be
tied right up to this Kansas Landmark.
Uncle Sam could tell you just how far
your own house is from it, provided your
house rests on a recognized lot in your
respective city or town. Every time new
development is laid out the lines refer to
the Kansas stone. Eventually all world
maps may be tied up with this little block
of concrete.

Kite Time

1t is a welcome relief from the bitter
controversy revolving around public
ownership versus private ownership OF
the electric industry, to read an adver-
tisement displayed by the Oklahoma Gas
and Electric Company. 1t contained no
word of electric rates, no technical data
of any sort, boosted no accomplishments,
promised nothing, made no effort to sell
electrical appliances. 1t showed young
ster enjoying the rapture of kite flying.
Kite flying within the next few weeks
will approach the proportions of ma
tional pastime. High tension wires and
kites are a potential source of tragedy.
Each year there are cases of electrocu-
ton from kites entangling in power lines.
The Oklahoma utility, in its advertise
ment, gives sound advice on kite flying.

Selected Poem
THE ICE STORM


pearl Emrnons in the Poets Column,
Hartford Courant)
Last night King Winter went riding by
In a chariot made of ice;
His carriage was pulled by northeast gale
AS he gripped the world in his wee.
His joy gave vent to a scornful laugh
At the damage he had wrought;
But little did he know that its beauty
Was something which could not be bought
For this morning the world was palace
The roads were its marble halls
The trees were the royal gardens g
Outside of the castle walls.
The whispering birches bow low and lower
Till their tip-tops kiss the ground,
AS faithful MoslemS called to prayer
BY the greatest Muezzin of all.
The stately pine and the chunky spruce
In their frozen capes were clad;
The maple and oak were weeping willows.
But the sun could make them glad.
The regal splendor OF tropical ferns
With care on each window was etched;
The finest wires were heavy cables
AS over the poles they stretched.
Next day the palace had vanished,
Melted by sun and rain
Twas the Waterloo of Winter
For the spring was here again.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-28

35-mile maximum on a few streets.
State Traffic Commission approval
is required before the order becomes
effective, but such approval has
been granted in practically every
case as far as can be recalled.
The rates set in the Capitol
City will strike many Elm City mo-
florists as more reasonable, as gen.
eral thing, than the top limits set
here. But whether 1t is a. high or
low limit, perhaps does not matter
so much as taking the limit, what
ever it is, and making 1t mean bus
mess.
In comment on the new regula-
ton the Hartford Courant observes
that "it does no good at all merely
to set up a regulation establishing
speed limits, even though the regu-
lation has the force Of law, unless
something is done to enforce 1t
it will be worse than useless, for not
only will it not restrain speeders but
1t will help breed contempt for traf-
fic regulat tons generally"
Isn't it the truth? If anyone
doubts, we know where they can
find a bit Of proof.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-28

Talking about the ice storm that did
so much damage early this month brings
to mind the report that officials of Pail
sades Interstate Park in New York re-
Gently submitted They claim that the
ice and sleet broke so many trees within
the Bear Mountain Hartman Park sec
ton that growth there is set back twenty
years. we can readily believe that for
with trees not merely denuded of
branches, but actually split down the
length of their trunks by the weight of
ice and snow entire plantations are prac-
tically ruined The only solution in many
parts of the wilderness is to chop down the
remaining stumps and severe pruning.
Recovery from this is a long process.
