Sidelights On '.R-Day"
 Registration Locally

class-rooms and teachers forever many years ago walked back through the familiar halls and into memory crowded rooms to register. Teachers seemingly unchanged in the years that have passed surprised many of the registrants with greetings signi- flying they had not forgotten them.
 Where registration rooms were located in grammar school class rooms it was a bit difficult to squirm into the seats which were much too small to accommodate the grown person.
 Repeated in many polls was the remark when the registration was completed Docs this make me a captain tco?"
 Volunteer workers who were on duty on the first shift, from ! .. m. to 12 noon, thought they had the easiest shift; they mistakenly thought there would be few in dur ing the early morning hours. How ever, the registrants poured in from the opening bell and the registrars found little time to rest from start to finish.

Women Republicans. Hear Nominees Today
Paul Cornell, Frank Johnson Address Luncheon
 Meeting-C Criticize National Defense Policy

from all sections of New Haven county. A number of prominent women Republicans from other coun- ties were also present.
 Frank T. Johnson, Republican candidate for Congress, charged the Roosevelt administration with neg lecting national defense. He de- clared that production of defense ornaments and materials had been unnecessarily delayed.
 Cornell Speaks
 "Here in Waterbury, and in every hamlet, city, and village through out the land," Cornell stated, young men are registering for na- tional defense. It is wonderful and inspiring thing.
 T shall always be proud of the fact that was privileged to serve my country in the last war in the Italian campaigns in the Alps. It was there I grew to know and ad- mire the Italian people.
 "The fact that these young men of our great nation are registering today should bring home to every one of us the fact that the people and the government are not dis connected. We are one. We must be brought to realize we must all pull together as one.
 "These boys are registering with one thought: America must be de- tended, that America must live, not die.
 These boys will have answered this call in rain unless behind their spirited sacrifices lies an expand ing national production and sound economy.
 JOhnson's Address
 Said MT. Johnson:
 To-day those of us who are more than twenty -oneyears old and not yet thirty-six, registered for the first peace-time draft in American history. It is my conviction that the youth of America wants to be prepared to defend their homes and their country and believe that the mothers of America do not want LIlelT SOIlS IO Dc CdllCu IO-dCGAOlA LII" prepared. There is much more to preparedness, however, than merely training men. We are in a mechan- ized age when tanks and guns and planes are of primary importance. This mechanical equipment so far as America is concerned is still in the blue print stage. Our admins tration in Washington has failed to equip us with even rudimentary armaments. It will do no good training us to defend ourselves if we have to use broom sticks and trucks instead of guns and tanks.
 T have said this before and will say it again so all may know. When in Congress I will never vote to send American boys to fight on for eign soil. It Is one thing to be pre- pared for defense and another to make plans for aggression. The American people want peace. We will fight no wars of aggression but we will be ready to bat down the ears of any foreign power which presumes to invade our soil.
