The Production Clinic

Governor Robert A. HurleyS production clinic which will be held at Hartford later this month can hold out some hope to manufacturers of Connecticut, particu- larly those not sharing in big government contracts, for the future. Right now there seems to be problem of supplying industry with many basic materials from which they gre expected to turn out fin ished articles or at least articles that must go to some other plant for finishing touches.
 Here in Waterbury the last week we have seen and read ia division of the Scovill company being forced to close down because it did not have the copper on hand with which to continue opera tions on which it wa Sengaged. Manu- lecturers of the So-called "Small" class, declare their existence is "hand-to- mouth" procedure because they can't lay up stocks, but must get along with just about enough. to carry them along from day to day.
 This situation isn't confined to Water bury. It's true everywhere. It's some thing that can and must be solved. That's why this clinic the governor has called for later this month is so important and so vital. Out of it should come at the very least encouragement for manufac- turers and certainly for labor. Here in the United States, land of great initia- tive, it can't be said that we are baked "a situation has us down. There's way out and we know it will be found.

E. Kent Hubbard

In the death of E. Kent Hubbard the Connecticut Manufacturers Association loses an indefatigable worker in it's inter- eStS. No one ever doubted where MT. Hubbard stood on matters affecting the industrial life of this state. And vet with his positive position for Connecticut man. ufacturing he was not so one-Sided that he failed to recognize labor'S position. But it was his belief, we think, that he was engaged in furthering manufacturing enterprise in Connecticut and this was his job at all times.
 During the thirty or more years that he was head of the association it became very much the spokesman for Connecti- cut industry. It waged battles in legis- lative chambers and in labor conferences. Thanks to the unceaSing vigor of MT. Hubbard it retained respect and conSid- eration at all times, although there may have been differences of opinion as to the course it adopted. We don't suppose very many people knew that Mr. Hubbard was Democrat in politics and at one time ran for the nomination as Lieuten- ant-governor. He also served on the old State Board of Finance.
 He wasn't native of this state, hay ing been born in Chicago. Probably he came to like Connecticut when he at- tended Trinity College from which he was graduated in 1893 Once resident of this state he became an active one. His career reveals an immense number of business associations to which he gave close attention despite contsant demands Dn his time. Few men could have man. aged to engage in so many and achieved 20 much success. Certainly an outstand- hg trait was his unfailing vitality, enabl- mg him to do much more than the aver age person would ever hope to do.

Scholarships for Miners

A new scholarship has just been estab- fshed at the University of Illinois. We dont know whether it has a specific name, but it ought to be called the Amer lean Scholarship. There is something deeply American about it. This scholar ship goes to some young miner now actu- ally working at that trade, or the son of such miner. The Illinois Mining In- stitute has set up series of such scholar ships in order to provide mining engi- .neering training to young men most likely to profit by it.
 It was Woodrow Wilson in "The New Freedom" who said something to the effect that if country is good for those who are on the make, it doesn't matter so much how it is for those who are already made Every time someone opens up an opportunity like this for young men on the make, we feel proud that we are in and of America

The New Competition

Silk mills are now added to the plants that may have to shut down for lack of raw materials. The jobs of as many as 100000 may be endangered in the auto Industry if production is shut down 50 per cent because of lack of metals. Alum mum plants making kitchen ware, silver plating plants, face contraction, perhaps tloSing, for lack of their basic metals. Throughout smaller industries the pinch lS felt. Needless to say, the government Is going to do all that it can to see that ways are found to keep these plants open, by giving them contracts for defense material, by reducing their supplies of metal and material as slowly as possible.
 But the government can't guarantee to do this in every case. The defense pro- gram is a great national effort, and it comes first. It doesn't matter much whose fault it Sthat there is a shortage of certain basic materials. The fault, in any case, is probably spread widely over great many people and factors. But it is fact. Face to face with the fact, whot is American business going to do? It could whine and say, "The government is doing this to us, let the government find the way out" But bus mess won't do that, if we know Ameri- can business. It is not "the government" that is doing these things. It is the American people, acting through their government.
 Director of Purchases Donald Nelson has made it clear that business, if it has not lost the aggressiveness that made it world famous, must do several things First it must conserve such material as 1t has, and by ingenious use of substi- futeS, changes in design, reduction of un- necessary models, make it go as far as possible. Second, it must go aggressively after the government business taht is and will be available. The Lord still helps those who help themselves, perhaps more emphatically so in abnormal times like these than in easy times.
 The government market must be sold 6s aggressively as the competitive civil aan market ever was. Salesmen who used E go out in the market for orders in competition with one another may now .46 themselves in Washington or re

 The indorsement by the Republi- can and the Fusion clements of MT. Frank s. Hogan for the office of Dis trict Attorney Is more than tribute to that young mans fine qualities and excellent record. The whole episode of MT.

Dewey was able to name not one but four assistants, any one |of whom would be we'll qualified to i'll his post-is itself measure of the new standards which he set for this office.
 Under MT. Dewey the district ate tOrney's office has been courageous; 1t has been efficient 1t has been un- tainted by fayoritisrn or corruption. and is has eschewed politics. Mir. Hogan, coming away from the talk in which the mayor indicated his friendliness for the new candidate, declared simply that he would canl- paign on the record of the oflice it. self, without regard to politics.

It is strictly confidential, with each detail transcribed on a wax recording and filed so there shall be no mistake about the promises being made to the United States or Britain.
 At the head of the table is a slight-mannered man with thin ming grey hair, General G. M. Barnes of the Ordnance Corps. Seated near him are Ed Hunt of Chrysler, H. B. Ensign of Ameri- can Car and Foundry, Charles Wright of Pullman Standard, H. s. Colby of Baldwin Locomotive, s. Bechhold of the Pressed Steel Steel Car company, and several others.
 This is the Tank Committee.
 And to the men around the
 table has recentnlly come word

 Already the members of the Tank Committee and their fac- tories have 4,700 light and me- dium tanks on order and are turning them out at the rate of about 300 a month. Tn addi- ton to the American orders, this group has a British order for $2o0, ,O00,G GOO worth of medium tanks.
 However, Germany has re- serve alone of $500 tanks. And with every battle on the Russian front showing the ever increas- ing importance of the tank, Roose- welt has now written identic let ters to Secretary of War Stimson and OPM bosses Knudson and Hillman, demanding that tank production be rushed full speed.

fact is that we can have heaven or hell if we want it. The choice is up to us. In fact, we go to one place or the other because we want to go, and for no other reason. Dante said, People are in hell because they want to be there. They have but found their place. !" The people who want to, go to heaven and bestir themselves suf- ficiently to get there, can rest as- sured that their efforts will not be in vain. People slip into hell, both during this life and for eternity, simply because they will not meet the requirements of heavenly existence.
 People often say that we get our heaven and our hell here on earth. We can be sure heaven and hell begin here on earth. although the Bible teaches us that both are consummated in the world beyond. But the important thing is that we decide our spiritual destiny for all time. Heaven and hell are abso- lutely within the sphere of personal choice. No one is predestined to either place. We 90 to where we choose to go. It is up to us.
