Coincidental with the campaign
initiated here by the various Com
munity clubs of Waterbury to have
the city adopt a uniform system for
the collection of refuse and ashes,
comes an announcement of interest

collections and reads as follows:
Definite sanitary programs by the
management of built-up communi-
ties for the satisfactory collection
and disposal of municipal refuse to
prevent nuisance conditions and
breeding of rats and flies is advo-
Gated by Warren ]. Scott, director
Of the Bureau of Sanitary Engineer
ing, in a report published in, the
July bulletin of the State Depart
ment of Health of a recent survey
made of refuse disposal methods in
all of the larger cities and towns
in Connecticut.
The percapita cost per year for
collection and disposal of garbage,
rubbish and ashes varies from AZ
cents to $2.73, with an average cost
of about SIPS. These figures are
exclusive of treatment plant depre-
citation and amortization cost. The
costs of collection and disposal of
garbage alone appear to range from
81 cents to As cents per capita per
year with an average figure of about
40 cents. Such comparative cost
figures represent varying degrees Of
service rendered and widely different
conditions.
Trend Toward Incarceration
The study indicates a trend to-
ward high temperature incarceration
with plants for this type of refuse
disposal either under construction
or being actively considered in sew
eral communities. Incarceration at
temperatures usually in excess OF
10000 degrees F. is the most sani-
tary method of disposal known, &C
cording to Mr.. Scott. Advantages
claimed are that the disposal plant
can be located fairly close to built
up sections without odor nuisance.

For Larry Mullen

Because of the war, coal and
fuel oil prices are on the rise,
but a South Main street res
taurant manager was Thankful
today that a brief midsummer
fire in his gas furnace did not
cost him the hundreds Of dol
lars that it might have.
Larry Mullen, well known
ball player and gas serviceman
for the Connecticut Light &
Power Company, was cleaning
and making a routine inspec-
ton of the gas-fired heating
system in the basement of the
restaurant when he saw the

mace flue. Reaching in, he felt
a large roll.
The restaurant manager was
out, but Mullen called the
cashier and in front of her ex-
tracted the roll Of bills-S72O

YOU CANNOT BLAME THE
SCANDINAVIAN NATIONS

Why do Sweden, Norway and Denmark
guard their neutrality SO jealOuSly when
Russian triumph in Finland would
almost certainly bring Red invasion
OF their territory or-at the Very least
Soviet domination Of their internal
political life?
Why does Sweden, for instance, refuse
to allow Allied troops to cross her ma
tion on the way to Finland, if the Allies
Join the war against Russia?
1t almost appears, ON casual consider
alton, that the Scandinavian nations are
sitting back contented!y and letting Fin
land fight a battle that is as much theirs
as Finland's.
Perhaps they have been forced into it.
If England and France were not at
war with Germany, it is highly probable
that Sweden and Norway, and possibly
Denmark, would long since have joined
Finland in the contest with Russia. 1t
is not toward Russia the ScandinavianS
are looking when they consider their
neutrality, it is toward the western bat
tlefrOntS.
Consider what would happen if the
Scandinavian nations declared war on
Russia.
England and France almost certainly
would do likewise That would make
England, France and the Scandinavian
countries allies. AS allies, they would
be fighting for common cause. Ger
many would be forced by the squeeze to
combine with Russia.
As result, England and France
would send troops, supplies and muni
tions to the Russian front through Nor
way and Sweden Germany. as an enemy,
would be bound to attempt to halt trans
port of these men and materials. Bombs
would rain on Norway and Sweden from
Germany as we'll as Russian planes Re
taliation would be natural. France and
England would move in with reserves to
launch new attacks on Germany. this
time from the Scandinavian front. Nor
way and Sweden would become the Dat-
tleground for the second world war
Stymied on the Western Front by the
strong German line, the allies would
find new method of attacking Ger
maryland Norway and Sweden would
provide that method.
You cannot blame the people of those,
nations for not wanting their towns
turned to ruins, their farms to shell
holes and their life to nightmares.
Perhaps they cannot help it, in the
end, but the longer they can delay their
entrance into the war, the better off
they will be.

ONE GOOD PROVISION

Unless the Workers Alliance takes to
bootlegging, it is doomed in California.
The state legislature, in overriding
Governor Olsons veto of its temporary
relief bill. approved a provision that no
relief client can use the money he gets
for relief to pay dues to any group or
organization.
The Workers Alliance. radical Ia
Dor" union. has existed because it col
lected dues from relief clients on the
pretext of representing them, nobody
seems to know exactly where. Actually,
the Workers Alliance has paid mighty
good salaries to a few of its executives,
stirred up considerable trouble. attempt
ed to pressure the legislature. and ac
complished nothing. 1t has been an eco
nomic drain on the pocketbooks Of those
who could least afford to contribute to
anything but their own welfare
1t is possible, of course that the Work
ers Alliance will continue to exist-but
if it does we suggest an investigation to
determine where its money is coming
from That would be intensely interest
ing-and possibly quite startling.

LAW THAT IS BLIND
w all Street JOurnaD

Mr.. BUNDLES assertion, The law is
an ass" was not intended to indicate
statutes, much less any particular one.
But it could find no better application
than when the needless hand of Il central
governments law falls on the ShOul-
ders of precisely those people whom it
was designed to help.
Prescription of minimum wages and
maximum hours is an objective which is
accepted by most people in this country
as socially desirable 1t is not so widely
accepted that it may be imposed by gov
ernmental fiat in defiance both of econo-
mic experience and practical sense. Still
less is it welcomed when it blunderingly
affects adversely a socially desirable
plan already in effect to the satisfaction
of thousands Of workers.
This is by no means an academic ques-
ton. A few days ago G.. B. HatterSIcy.
vice president of Sears, ROebuck & Co.,
pointed out that the company's "constant
wage" program is not only in serious
danger but Is virtually certain to be ;tban
doned in the impending circumstances.
There are other plans which have been
worked out by progressive managers Of
industry in COM JUNCTION with intelligent
~ cooperative employees to the mutual
advantage of both And many Of these,
too, will be compromised by the new law.
And the tragedy Of this is that these very
plans are designed to give to employees d
security which labor. both organized and
unorganized, has long sought as a pri-
mary objective stabilized annual
wage.
