with the old
The same unrest and dissatis-
faction is existent here in our own
country but thus far we have
managed to make the changes by
peaceful and gradual means.
We have only to look back over
the past ten years to see shat the
United States of today and the
United States OF 1880 are vastly
different things We have reshuf-
fled our national mind or attitude
toward a dozen vital things. We
have centralized power and gov
eminent control. We have seen
the growth of labor movement that
possesses a potential power Of
controlling our whole industrial
life. Aid conventions have tumbl-
ed down and we are walking along
in a new freedom that is so diff
ferent from the old that IL startles
us when we stop to make the
comparison But il has all been a
gradual. slow and peaceful change.
WHERE DO WE co FROM
HERE
Where we will end up nobody
seems TO know. In fact the reyo-
luton peaceful as ii is and has
BEEN has all our outstanding
leaders muddling around. wonder
ing what they are going 10 do
about IT, We have cut loose from
the past and are now in the mid
die of the stream. We THINK We
know our direction. If we can
hold TO the direction We will may
be work the thing out.
Consciously or unconsciousiy,
willingly or unwillingly we are
having 10 adapt ourselves to the
changes. Sometimes we DO not
even konw they are going on. We
just wake up some morning and
discover that the change has been
made.
One thing is certain-our whole
complicated civilization is beyond
the comprehension OF any one
man. Almost of any group of men.
We are going to have TO work II
out in patches. We will expert
ment here and there. Some will
work and some will not. That
calls for more discard and more
experimentation. But it will be
worked out eventually. II will not
come in one great conyulsive
event but by slow processes. The
biggest fun OF being alive today
is in being able TO watch the show
as it happens.
NEVER THROUGH
But there is no end TO the pro
cess. Every time we put one
problem behind us another rises
up TO take it's place. Each ad-
vance brings its own responsible
ties. That is why each age thinks
il is the most rapidly changing
age in history.
II you come back to earth
thousand years from now, Cif the
human family lasts that long0 you
will find the human race still
struggling on. bowed down with
problems and situations, faced
with unrest and change. reaching
out for that better something that
each generation, in its time, has
ever sought to obtain.
The Ultimate is a succession oil
achievements strung out thru the
centuries. If it were otherwise
we would have vanished from the
face of the earth long ago.

MISSED THE BUS
BY TEX HANCOCK

When Hitler failed TO invade
England Immediately after Dun
kirk Churchill said he had missed
the bus-or boat Another way OF
saying that he had passed up his
golden opportunity.
We are beginning to wonder If
maybe England hasn't also missed
the bus in the Russian situation
There is an old saying that If
you don't risk anything you don't
get anything. IL would seem that
England's time TO strike at Ger
many is while Germany has her
greatest job of taking care OF
Russia. OF course we have been
given TO understand all along that
Germany would whip Russia
eventually matter OF time. II
this is true it would seem that an
attack on Germany by the English
would be easier now than after
Russia has been wiped off the
map. England is not going TO de
feat Germany by waiting on her
own soil. Enough attack on Ger.
many to compel her to divide her
forces would be big help to Rus
Sia and not endanger England as
much as waiting will.
According TO the way things
are going. or have gone. the tale
will be about as follows: Russia

A Big Job Ahead

Appointment of Democratic State Chairman John T. Mccarthy as Motor Vehicles Commissioner has aroused a barrage of speculation around the state. Much of 1t has to do with the fine work that the retiring commissioner, Col Mi- chael A. Connor, has performed in the eight years that he held the office. A good deal of it concerns the type of ap- pointment, most commentators terming 1t purely political in view of the fact that MT. Mccarthy was close ally of Gov. Robert A. Hurley throughout his cam paign last fall
 All Of which doesn't prove that he won't or can't do good job in the Mo- tor Vehicles Department. If your men1- ory goes back to 1883 1t may be recalled that ex-governor Wilbur L. Cross replace ment of Robins B. Stoeckel by Com. Con- nor aroused considerable criticism in Re- publican circles and rather generally Throughout the state. MT. Stoeckel had held the office so long that he was vir- tially regarded in some quarters as hay ing life tenure. But the facts certainly prove that Com. Conror did a remark ably fine job in his post.
 Just think back and recall some of the improvements that he has advocated and put into operation, notably the elimina- ton of red-tape in the issuance of new licenses, both for car and operator All of which is an indication that any man can be a political appointee and still be quite capable of turning in a good job for the state government. We admit to a sense of real loss in seeing Col. Connor depart, but we are in no way dismayed or fearful of the consequences. Mir. Mo- Carthy comes highly recommended and should acquit himself with honors.
 All this, of course, is dependent on good llumor in the Senate which must ratify the governors choice for the office.

food, when the Surgeon General says that 90 per cent of the people are not properly fed2 Will there be no friendly neighbor- ing countries to whom we can lend tech nlques and money to raise their standards of living with our own? Are there no more schools, recreation fields, and cul. tural centers to be built? Is it conceiv- able that men, once shown the facilities and the techniques for building all these things as they have never been built be. fore, will then be denied them?
 To ask questions like those is to answer them. The only question Is: 'How?" The answer in turn by no means implies public provision for all these things. Builders of things, constructors of buildings and works, are already turn ing their minds to means of drawing pri- vate capital on vast scale to such prof ects. The Urban Re-Development Corpor- ations law in New Work state is only one such plan. This provides easier con- demnation of blighter areas, and certain tax concessions on improvements (in- stead of immediately taxing improvement, as we do now). The New York law Is only @ forerunner. There will be other plans, all addressed to solving not the question "What?" but the more vexatious problem "How?"

No Provision Made

Although the Socialists may control the government of the City of Bridge port Republicans down there don't think enough of them to want to give them equal representation in the office of Reg istrar of Voters. During the early part of the legislative session they proposed that the Legislature name Democratic and Republican Registrar, but now there is an effort being made to substitute for this bill actually naming individuals to the positions of Democratic and Re- publican Registrars of Voters.
 The bill, If we interpret 1t correctly, would give representation to each of the two major political parties in the office of Registrar. Nothing seems to be said about the other major political party in Bridgeport, the Socialist, save that third Registrar may be named All of which probably won't sit very well with Mayor Jasper McLevy. But 1t would seem to be an easy matter to overthrow such pro- posed piece of legislation as this, al- though Bridgeport has secured some "rare" pieces of laW-making down through the years.
 Personally we think 1t might be better to let the Bridgeport voters have some say in who is going to be Registrar of Voters. If the parties can't elect and be represented by their own Registrars where there are more than two strong political units in community then sonne- thing Is radically wrong with the sys- tem. Off hand this would appear to be just another of those attempts to ham, string the McLevy administration with local partymen looking to the Legislature for help.

There Will Be Work to Do

Lots of people are throwing their brows over this question: When the defense boom collapses, what shall we do with our productive facilities to keep them busy and to keep men in tobs?" It is a very real question, and one which Will require our very best efforts to solve. It's nature ought not to be misunderstood, however, at the start. The real question is not: "What work is there to be done" It is: "How shall we do it?" There will be plenty of work to be done when the war emergency is over, plenty of work to create here in our great America the kind of country 1t ought to be.
 :, Have our cities no slums and blighter areas to be torn down and replaced with dwellings really fit for men and women to live in? Are our roads, built for the lorse-and-buggy era, sufficient for the motorized era? Are railroads crossing travelled roads at grade mark of we'll designed community? Are there not even now too many people living without electricity, without ordinary minimum sanitary facilities? Shall not the air. plane be as common as the automobile is today, cheap, easy means of transport for the average family? Shall we ever be able truly to say that we raise too much

TRIMMED PIEILATELY
(New York sun)

Parisians are reported to be going in for stamp collecting on a grand and indtscriminate scale. It iS not, however, by way of having an ab- sorbing and instructive hobby with which to while away the grim hours of Nazi occupation, but rather, we are told, because postage stamps seem to the French to possess a more certain and more stable value than their national currency. It is, In short, Q kind of flight from the fran: to the frank, the underlying hope being the realization of Q pro- 1t or ct worst the avoidance of Q loss.

Anybody want a nice golf course? There's one going a-begging over in Mid dletown because city officials there don't think they'll be able to take advantage of the offer to buy the Highland Country Club, one of the oldest clubs and courses in the state. It was operated for years as a private course, but the last few years has been public course. Now it's all dolled up for new season, but no one IS playing over the well-kept fairways and greens. Roy Wilcox, head of the realty firm which owns the property, offered 1t to the city. Mayor James F. Connery said he didn't think the city could afford a municipal course, so there's the situation. Back few years you couldn't pick up an established golf course; you had to de- velop your own, which is tedious and ex- pensive process. The plight of Highland Is due to the fact that throughout this state many clubs and courses have sprung up rapidly and are now being played by countless of new golfers. Still there ought to be room for one more.

Justice and Mercy

The problem presented by the peculiar sect known as Jehovah's Witnesses, whose children are taught to refuse to salute the national flag in school, has met with various attempts at solution, none final. It is encouraging to see that one attempt at solution has been blocked in the courts It was bad solution. A court at Nashua, New Hampshire, sentenced three such school children to a reformatory for school delinquency" growing out of this offense.
 It is highly unlikely that sending chil- dren to reformatory for complying with religious scruples taught them by their parents would ever solve anything. The state supreme court apparently felt that way, for 1t reversed the sentence. Within the limits of mercy thus assured by the court, the local school authorities may now seek their own solutions, which are almost certain to be, if not completely satisfactory, at least better than the re- formatory.

AUTO INSURANCE IN NEW YORK
lHartford Tivnes)

(Hartf0rd T1mes)
 Governor Lehmann has signed Q bill which will put into operation in New York State next January Q law similar to that of New Hainps shire for the financial protection of victims of automobile accidents.
 Under the law, as It VIII, py agreement, be amended later, both or ell parties to any accident involv- ing personal injury or property damage to the extent Of S2S or more, are required to file reports with the Motor Vehicles Commits sioner. Driving licenses and regis tration plates of those involved ID such accidents will be inli1lediately Suspended unless evidence is given of ability to meet liability growing out of any future accident.
 Tn addition to that-and this is where the law differs materially from Connect cticut's--drivers' licenses and registration plates must be sus- pended if there is any failure to set. tie within i6 days Q court Judgment rendered because of personal intur- les or property damage in excess fo e25.
 In other words, in New York state hereafter, a man who causes personal injury or property damage must settle for 1t or lose the right to drive or register a car.
 The law Is based upon the theory that the privilege of owning or drlv-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-15

ing q car Is 70 highly regarded that no one would Do willing to foreso t. Therefore practically everyone to whom the use of c car is essential will take out insurance.
 The weakness of the Connecticut law is that on uninsured person, without property which can be seiS. cd can and often does escape pay. ing for his first accident. He E obliged to furnish evidence of Si- rancial responsibility as to the tu. ture, but that does not protect the victim who has already suffered in. jury or property loss because of him.
 It will be interesting to observe how the new system works in great state like New York with many populous communities.
 The many objections to compul- sorry insurance have caused Connec- ticlit to refuse to adopt 1t. Yet there is arl admitted need for improve ment. Tho New Hampshire and New York plans appear to point the wMy to 1t. Connecticut may well study their operation.

You don't often read of Connecticut in connection with the manufacture of fire crackers, but one of the largest manu- lecturers in this field Is located in the state at Wallingford It's the third larg- est in all the country. Whether 1t will do much for the boys who can still cele- brate the Fourth of July with lot of noise and color, remains to be seen. Uncle Sam's defense program is curtailing the output of the ordinary variety of roise- maker. The supplies are short and execu- tive heads of the Connecticut firm expect that whatever fireworks there are this year will be fewer than ever.

 STEEL SHORTAGE
 These "buslness as usuaw chick ems of the $i-a.year men are still coming home to roost - and to plague the progress Of armament production.
 Everybody now knows about tho grave shortage in aluminium, due to failur, to get new plants start ed in time. Recently this column also revealed that an 800, ,O0O-kilo. watt power shortase was expected by 1042, when defense production Is scheduled to reach it's peek.
 Latest inside word Is that c similar situation is developing n
 steel -- a commodity vital to every phase of the defense pro-
 gram. A serious steel shortage would be disastrous to both the
 United States and Britain.
 Like aluminium, the question Of steel capacity has been e hot be- hind-the-scenes controversy for months. As early as last summer, some defense experts urged iIl- nedaite expansion of plant faci- nties. The industry, backed by One Dollar Men denied that this was necessary. insisted there was ample productive capacity to meet demands.
 Finally, after many weeks of argument, Qano Dunn, head of the J. c. White Engineering Cor poration, was asked to make an impartial report on steel, and his findings, in effect, upheld the steel Ynakers' contention that new plants were not needed.
 However, as 6 hedge, he prom ised another report in three months to keep abreast of de- velopments. This report is due in c few weeks, but meanwhile Q lot has been happening in the steel front.
 so,oooooo TONS SHORT
 Dunn's report estimated steel requirements in 1922 ct 0i,0OO, 600 tons. But the private estimates of OPM experts, based on the ex. pected expansion of the defense program, now go as high as l2o,-

FACTORY SCENE
(Nell Frances Nahunchk in the Poets Column.
 Hartford Couran)

Overalls and grimy oil
 Men intent in earnest toll. Before from blowing backs were bent But now in shops their days are spent. Through centuries of mans invention The artisfn has gained perfection. Swift precision 50 intense = Produces hawless hardware gems. 4 united group of corporations, Gaining strength by close relations; Making wheels of progress spin By man and power from within. The staccato pounding of the press Like jungle drums when in distress Throw out scraps of metal chips Or finished products Of wire whips. The ceaseless roaring of machines Help to carry cut mems dreams. The clamor, roar and constant pounding Mass productions din reSounding Expresses all its rest in smoke That turns out black as workmanS cloak. 4 dirty face, c calloused hand HeIpg to make us understand That Overails and grimy oil And men intent in earnest toll Produce the hum of industries- The scene within our factories.
