A Lot of Conferring

With the House setting up some sort of a record by passing universal con- scription bill after a weeks debate, whereas the Senate used up nineteen days for this purpose, it now remains to be seen what the two houses can do about the measure in conference. There are several noticeable differences between the respective bills. But the main one would seem to be the element ot time. The House still sticks to the two months trial for voluntary enlistments before drafting the youth of the nation.
 The House also widens the age limits. There shouldn't be too much arguing over the ages, but over this voluntary en- listment period, we can't quite see how the House justifies such stand. Even the latest Army enlistment figures show that there is little or no chance of meet ing the quota for the trial period. It's just an excuse, so it would seem, to post pone conscription until after election, perhaps after the first of the year.
 This is a serious mistake if Congress IS going to endorse compulsory military training for various age-groupS. The Dill should go into effect within very few days after it's passage and the Presl- dents signature. But there are points of difference between the two bills that need to be handled very carefully. Our own congressman, Rep. J. Joseph Smith, has apparently solved the problem of draft ing industry as well as youth and for the Senate to accept his amendment would be good solution.
 Actually in twenty-five days the con. scription bill has passed two houses of Congress and is now in the process of being ironed into a sennblance of some thing pleasing to all This is highly commendable and indicative of the feel ing of our senators and representatives on this vital matter. We feel sure that the United States will never regret this unprecedented step it is taking to preserve our ideals of democracy.

Peter FitzHenry

The death of Peter FitzHenry followed a long illness from which, it had been in- dicated at various times, he was recover ing very nicely. There were many in- quirieS, too, about his health the last year or so for MT. FitzHenry had hundreds of friends throughout Waterbury who felt very keenly his absence from accustomed hauntS and circles. MT. FitzHenry was well-known wherever he went and in the last quarter of a century he had widened his movements considerably.
 He was familiar figure along our cen tral thoroughfares for many years just as he was in various sections of the state during hunting or fishing seasons. He was an inveterate sportsman from early life and never lost his love for the great outdoors. He was interested, too, in many different sports and although he may not have been an active participant in all of them, nevertheless he was sufficiently in- tereSted to encourage and develop where hG had the chance
 We regard his death as untimely for those who knew him surely expected to find him back in their midst before long. It is real regret to comment on his pass ing and we can only add to the many words of commendation our own in- adequate ones.

On the grounds that national defense has precedence over everything else President F. D. Roosevelt recently vetoed bill calling for creation of De Soto Exposition Commission. The 400th anni- versary of the discovery of the Missis- sippi River by Hernando De Soto is fit ting occasion for grand celebrations throughout the Midwest and very pro- perly our federal government should join in them. The President however, jus tifies his denial by virtue of the fact that funds for such commemorative event might we'll run into a lot of money in view of the fact that the congressional bill passed did not specify any definite amount to be spent There is such a thing, though, as keeping too tight a hand on the governments purse-strings. A vast area of this nation would be in- volved in the celebration of this great discovery. We think, too, that it's back CTS would be deeply appreciative of the nations need for heavy concentration on defense plans.

Save the Skeets!

Nothing is sweeter these warm summer mornings than the song of the skeet. How often, walking across a stubble field, we have heard that rippling call and seen the skeet flutter anxiously from it's nest. Wait minute! The good lady was so earnest about it all that for a minute we felt it must be true She had written to the Ohio Con- servation Department, all worried by reports in the papers that they were shooting skeet all over the state She feared the skeet must soon become ex- tinct unless protected and placed on the songbird list with quail. Cant we do something about this?" she quavered anxiously.
 It's really too bad that skeet is a sys- tenn of shooting flying clay targets, in- stead of songbird, and thus closer to the clay pigeon than the quail Maybe the lady was spoofing But we hope not With so many real terrors to be anxious about, it's almost relief to see one good lady so gravely and sweetly concerned about something that doesn't exist at all Somehow it makes things easier

Our Two Jobs in One

The United States has before it two jobs. You can almost feel the tightening of the collective belt of the American people as they gird for the effort. On the way those jobs are done depends the future of America and not only the America of our children, but the America in which those of us now living will com plete our lives. The jobs:
 l. To build as quickly as possible such defenses as will not only make direct attack on the United States
 unattractive, but such as will compel respect for America in those who respect nothing else.
 2. To dedicate ourselves anew, every man, woman, and child of us, to freedom to the way of life that insists that mans institutions exist for man, and not man for the insti- tutions he has created.
 Two tasks - and yet they are one task. The Citizenship Educational Service shows this clearly in it's call for revital- izing the ideals of democracy: "The par amount need in national defense is the strengthening and invigorating of de- mocracy." This co-ordinating committee of national organizations with mem D6TSIllp OI OU,UUU,UUU IS ScChA14S OAAAAOAAS of signers of pledge:
 'To join wholeheartedly and with personal sacrifice in strengthening the work of our organizations and of @eher civic and social activities in our community, our state, and our
 nation.
 ''TO be vigilant and courageous in maintaining human sympathy and respect for the rights of others.
 STO be aware of the enemies of democracy, whatever their passwords or places of birth, and wherever they may be found.
 "TO stand united with all lovers of freedom, whatever their tongue or origin.
 ITO keep our nation strong in valOr, and confident in freedom, so that gOv- ernment of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth"
 Through the Boy Scouts of America and score of other great organizations affiliated with this committee, these pledges are being distributed. It is good 10 sign and display pledges like this, but it is even better to think them through, Co burn them Into our hearts, and to act upon them. No effort should be spared i6 train and equip the best defensive forces we can muster But it .s not alone bv tanks and planes that democracy b defended. but by the heat Of tfs fire Of freedom that burns ln the heart or every 1lllnen of free land

It's quite coincidence that both Wa terbury and it's adjacent community to the south, the Borough of Naugatuck, have both experienced at one and the same time epidemics of school strikes. /" Closing of two schools in Naugatuck brought protests from parents who ob- jected to sending their children to other institutions. Naugatuck, like Waterbury, has been consolidating it's schoolhouses in the face of declining pupil popula- tion. School strikes" are not unusual throughout the United States, where the public school is very zealously watched and guarded, but each one reveals some new situation or demands some fresh ap- plication of principles of good reasoning and common sense

THE KATY-DIDs ARE NUMB
Bridgeport Timos-star)

Those upland sages who, 6 few days ago, heard their first katy-dids and then ventured to predict the date of the first frost in September, have been curiously silent for the past few days. In fact, from their section of the weather front, there has been in effect what seems some thing like g censorship, unquestion- ably designed to bolster their own morale in the face of prematlrely falling temperatures.
 They predicted frost in September.
 In the absence of authentic news from them. we are left to our own suspicious, and to our own deduc- tions. And, as we broke the ice in our bathtub the past few mornings, there was only one deduction pos- sible: if it freezes in Bridgeport, it must be below zero in the hinter- lands. Censorship alone preserves the honor of the katy-dids and their followers. On the scheduled date in September, We shall probably re- ceive bulletin triumphantly an- nouncing the official arrival of frost. If the cold leaves our cheek bones by that time, we shall smile politely.

The need of more tennis courts of the type that have been in use at Fulton Park the last few years is frequently expressed by players. All of them are agreed that with the growing interest in the game in our parks it is necessary that better playing surfaces be provided both for or dinary playing as well as the many tour naments that now dot the summer sea- son. It's something that well could be fitted into any recerational development program.

the children of God.
 Now the difference between the liberty of the children of God and liberty of the world is the difference between liberty of spirit and liberty of action. The Christian is free be- cause he is free on the inside of his life. The worldling craves the free- dom of doing what he wants to do, his will operates within the larger will of God. The man who insists on having his own way is not free. but wilful. The man who submits to God knows the only liberty that Is worth having.
 Paul in chains. Bunyan in prison. Knox in the galleys, were free men. The swaggerlng pleasure seekers Of their day were slaves. The man who has learned how to say NO to his evil impulses, his passions, and his seliishness. ia the man who has won the only victory that bflngs real sAts Isfaelion,
 There k no freedom but freedom Of the wlll, and the wiil Of man lb never free until lt operates within the iAra-r viii Of God (All rights reserved Ilnbson MeWes paper eyndieaie)

ROAD TO ALASKA

Alaskans are asking for Q high- way to connect them with the rest of this continent and they are seek ing 1t as c measure for defense of Alaska. It sounds reasonable and 6 to be one of the things to which the new defense committee Of Cas nadIans and Americans will give It's first attention.
 It would branch out from the northern tip Of rail or read in BElt- ish Columbia and curve through the Yukon territory to Seward, perhaps to Tairbans and Anchorage.

fact, then the Treasury con-
 tends that the plant should not
 be torn down immediately after
 the emergency or converted to
 something else without the ap-
 proval of the government.
 This, private industry says, threatens to put the government right in the middle of the muni- tions business, and the National Defense Commission, without call ing 1t a "sit-down", has warned that such threatened control might prevent capital from flow ing into the national defense pro- gram.
 THREAT OF NAZI CONTROL
 Apparently industrialists seen to think that these government owned plants might be held over industry's head in the future, and that once the government has its own factories, Congress might go ahead and operate them in com- petition with private business. Tn fact, the definite fear is that the United States might do what has been done in many European countries, such as Germany, Italy and France, where the munitions industry is virtually owned and operated by the Government.
 NOTE-To some War Depart ment observers it would even seem that they feared this possi- bility almost more than the pos- sibility of the Nazi control of in- dustry in the United States-a situation which might eventuate if our national defense program is delayed.

Views Of The Press
SMALLPOX VACCINATIONS
(Meriden JoulnaD

For parents, it's just one thing after another, and Waterbury'S health officer doesn't promote their peace of mind by noting that only 49 of Connecticut's 169 towns re- quire vaccination against smallppox before a child may be admitted to school.
 So what? Well, Dr. Edward J. Godfrey warns: Just because smallpox has fallen to the bottom of the list of contagious diseases does not mean we should become lax in our vaccination laws. This would be a false security and small- pox would be with us again as soon as there is no more law for vaccina- ton against the disease"
 State law gives towns the power to adopt measures for vaccination and among the 46 communities re- curing pre-schoca vaccination are Cheshire, Berlin, New Britain, Plainville. Middletown, in this vicinity.
 About the only chance of small- pox here would be when 1t is brought from elsewhere, which has been known to happen here, to be followd by wholesale vaccinations.

Judge Robert Patterson, newly appointed assistant secretary of war, is to let the government erect the factories, keep them permanently in case of future emergency, but lease them to pri- vate industry.
 This also would solve the tax problem, because industry would have no need to ask for early amortization on its emergency expenditures.
 The duPonts have been high ly cooperative under this plan, and are going to operate gOv- ernment- built powder plant in southern Indiana. However, some other industrial leaders are op- posed even to this compromise plan, and there has been some lobbying around the National Defense Commission to keep government out of the muni- tions business in any manner, shape or form.
 Although private industry looks askance at the idea of the gov- ernment building too many muni- tions plants. this opposition is a mere bag of peanuts compared to its vigorous. 100 per cent dis approval of the tax reservation placed in the new tax bill by the House of Representatives and the Treasury.
 This reservation would give tax benefit to private manufac- turers who had expanded plant facilities; but in return for those benefits the Government would exercise 8 certain amount of control over the future dispo- sition of the factory. In other words, if it was built for the emergency and if tax benefits Uara wranfad hAnauSA nf that
