Mondays short story:
Nuisance Value" by Pat
Adam.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-15
Then And Now

News stories say that a committee named by Mayor Scully to investigate the need of a rubbish removal system ln Wa terbury at it's first meeting this week seemed to be of the opinion that there was no need of such municipal service at the present time, provided the city could ere ate number of public dumps. Naturally there will be more meetings of this group and there will, presumably, be final re. port to be submitted to the Board or Aldermen before whom the problem orig inally was laid.
 The wisdom of the rubbish disposal system and even garbage inclnerator plant has been under fire from the very outset. There were those who believed that they were real necessities. Consider able time and thought were put into pres entation of the argument for such services by various representatives of number of community clubs. There was sentiment for among various city officials. But now it would seem as if only the com munity clubs remain to wage the cam paign for the above services.
 Public dumps are not the complete answer to the situation we find here In Waterbury, but they certainly are means whereby we may relieve unSlghtly conditions in many sections of the city. They do, to a certain extent, prevent the careless trespass on private property, such as can be noted in many sections where residents choose an empty lot on which to dump their accumulated trash. It's haphazard system at the most we enjoy now, but it so happens we have been ed- ucated to it.
 There may be soundness in the position now being taken by city officials and others that to spend thousands to educate the public to a new system nay not be in harmony with these times in which we are living. Opinion will divide evenly on this; augmentation may clear the mists.

Laws And Licenses

Controversy over the erection of a large billboard on the former Peck prop erty on East Main Street will continue for long time to come. The matter may eventually find it's sway into the civil courts. But there are several facts brought home clearly to citizens of Wa terbury by this situation. One is cer- tainly the fact that Waterbury's jurisdic- ton in such matters as this is apparently of no account. The state, not the city, makes it possible for such a building activity.
 All of which is not quite clear to most of us. If the city has no control, and we don't say it hasn't for the fact may be proved that such huge structure in its present immediate proximity to private residence violates is illegal, then one might be led to ask how it can control other types of construction elsewhere throughout the city. This is one consider ation. Another, of course, is the expansion of our business section and the inevitable loss of residential areas close to or right in the midst of this section. Here is typical example of business expansion right in the middle of residences. We doubt if it can be stopped or Ii anyone will try to do so.
 Most people are not apt to think about this latter phase, but are more concerned about waking up some morning and tlnd- ing former unobstructed view closed off by an enveloping piece of construction. That's somewhat disturbing. How many of us could it happen to? Or what other complications could there arise? There are all sorts of rights guaranteed to per sons under our code of laws; we have corresponding duties. Where they begin and leave off is often argued. Right now, though, there seems to be some need for clarification from the city of its status than that of taxpayers.

More Inter-American Ties

There are 21 nations in the Pan-Amer- ican system. The relations of all of them to each other are included in Pan-Amer- icanism, not merely the relations of each to the United States. Pan-Americanism is given a boost every time an American nation links itself more closely to other American nations, for such ties tend to make all concerned less dependent on Europe and Asia.
 Thus when Chile and Peru get together on a mutual defense pact and trade agree ment, as they did the other day, it strengthens the hand of both in resisting any possible aggression from the west, and that is a good thing for the United States. At the River Plate conference at Monte video, just concluded, some 16 different agreements were made between and among the countries of southern South America, all tending to build up their economies It is good to see these devel- opment fthe independent strength of all the countries to the south.

Taxing SOIdiers' Cigarettes

A nice legal problem has arisen with regard to the operation of post exchanges in the numerous military posts scattered through every state. Has the state right to tax cigaretS and other similar supplies sold through such agencies? It depends whether a post exchange is an mstru- mentality of the federal government con- ducted as necessary part of army oper- ation. A post exchange is usually volun- tary, unincorporated setup, virtually a ron-profit cooperative, supervised by, but not actually run zy, army authorities.
 If it is federal institution tied in as an indispensable part of army operation, states probably cannot tax supplies sold through them. But if running store is a mere convenience to soldiers, and its stocks are not the property of the United States, states may assert (and some of them have) their right to tax. Army canteens and post exchanges are likely to be around for long time in increas- ing numbers Their volume of business will be an item. So there's one for legal wits to whet to themselves upon!

Press Comment
THE U. s. sUPER-HIGHwAY
(New Britain Herald)

If the U. s. Super-highway be- tween Boston and Washington is run through Connecticut along the route mapped out it will put the Cross parkway almost out of bus mess as the best route between the Merritt Parkway and Boston.
 The super-highway = as de- fense measure = would cost $25O,- 100000. The link through Connec- ticut would cost $52.000,000.
 You have guessed it - Uncle Sam would pay most of the bill.
 The Connecticut link would extend from the northeastern corner of the state direct as the crow flies to the Middletown bridge, and thence di- rect to Fairfield county, north of Bridgeport. and would parallel the Merritt Parkway. It would not touch at New Haven, Hartford Meriden or any other city except Middletown.
 Manifestly this would be a shorter route between Boston and New York than anything the Cross parkway and connections north of Hartford would offer, and would be a free way" = meaning it would be for all kinds of traffic. It would be so wide that the existing parkways would seem old-fashioned by comparison The road through New Jersey, for instance, would have 12 lanes.
 Well, we'll wait and see.

Massachusetts is taking up problem that has been more or less successfully solved here in Connecticut. It has been proposed in the Bay States that a six year program of acquisition of public bathing beaches be launched. Massa- chusetts recognizes; as do most of the New England states, that one of their chief assets is recreational advantages. Every one of the six states does con- siderable amount of self-exploitation throughout the entire year. This is not a six-months business but year-round one. And SO certain facilities have to be found for the various seasons. Certainly swim ming in salt water is one of these for those states with a coastline. Massachu- setts is fortunate in this respect, yet the fact remains that it is noticeably behind Connecticut and Rhode Island in prov1d- ing public beaches for its own residents or visitors It proposes now to correct this situation with a program Of ex- panSion.

When You Drank a Tulip

Back in the days before the World War, there was song which began, ''When You Wore Tulip, Sweet Yellow Tulip :" Well, that's all over. They're drinking tulips now in Holland, and per aaps in Germany, too. A private letter from great Dutch tulip-grower recently revealed that nearly three million bulbs of his 1889 crop are now being treated for use as a coffee substitute
 Whether the Germans are taking the coffee from the Dutch and leaving them their own tulip-bulbs to drink is not IS now drinking tulip-bulbs and acorns as made clear. Possibly all central Europe "a now drinking tulip-bulb and acrons as their first instllment of the great new era promised by their conquerors. In any eaee. one irreparable injury has already haen done to Holland.

We wonder if the proposal that the section of the Town of Trumbull known as Nichols be made separate township will ever be fulfilled. The subject will come up shortly. But only the other day we read where another section of Trum- bull had turned down proposal that 1t be joined to the City of Bridgeport. Res idents of Sylvan Crest held town meet ing recently and voted down the sugges- tion. Of course if TrumbEll lost tnls section of it's township it would be de- priyed of some very fine prospective building sites near the Merritt Parkway. This proved too much for those interested in keeping the town on it's feet and 1t may work that way for Nichols, too.

 High-ranking War Department officials are much distressed over the situation and frank in their own self-criticism. Particularly are they distressed over the fact that delay in camp construction is holding up the housing and training of the new army.
 There are four chief reasons for delay: rains, slowness of Congress in passing legislation; politics; and the fact that the job was not supervised by the Army Engineers.
 How much politics entered into the picture is not known as yet. Some time ago, the War Depart ment was rife with politics, but 8 Republican has been Secretary of War in this Democratic admlnis- tration since before the canton- ment program began.
 So far, however, inquiring eOngressmeu have found that the head of the Walsh Con- struction company, which IS building Camp Edwards, Mass, \ contributed $2,5OO to the Demo- cratic campaign fund last June and another $2,5O0 to a Roose- welt organization in New York in October. Total $5,O0O.
 The Walsh Construction com pany is located at Davenport, Ia., and 1t is customary to favor lo- cal contractors. However, the Walsh Construction company Of Iowa, rather than 8 New Eng land firm, gott he contract to build Camp Edwards, Mass. There Is no competitive bidding on any of these camp construtcoin con- tracts.
 WORST RAIN IN YEARS
 Rain also had lot to do with the delay in certain parts of the country, particularly California, California, which experienced the worst rain in Is years, and ln Texas, which had the worst in 50 years.

 It was also discovered that one group of men on the Camp payroll never showed up for work. One of the number an- swered for each of them when the roll was called, and the others spent their time going to school in Boston. In the end they were detected and jailed.
 One large item of additional ex- pense was paint. Originally 1t was planned that the shack would be unpainted. Then, be- cause of the importance of army morale and the attention which the women of the country were paying to the new draft army, War Department officials finally decided to paint the buildings in every camp.
 This paint bill alone cost $10,0OO,0OO extra.
 General Marshall, hard driving Chief of Staff, has been greatly disappointed with the cantonment program and has been one of the Arny'S harshest critics. However, he now feels that the program gradually is getting out of the woods-though it has been a hard winter.

Those were the days of derring-do! Love, be my Valentine again! Iris long since contributed, Long since to love bid adieu, Of late I've been low-spirited. Where is the love that entre nous Blossomed to beauty impromptu? Where are the hours we used to pen In many happy rendezvousp Love, be my Valentine again! Time moves along with steady tread. Gone is the bloom of ingenue; Gone Is the hair from of my head; Beauty is SO in transitul Still, there's an urge I can't subdue, An urge to please you now as then With tinselled card rose or two Love, be my Valentine againl

 Dr. Carver keeps @ copy of the Bible on his desk and continually refers to 1t. believing 1t to be the divineiy inspired Word of God. If the old fallacy that scientists are always atheists still needs to be re- futted, Dr. Carver is an outstand- ing refutation of such Q statement. He does not believe just in "a higher power; he believes that this higher power Is personal, righteous, loving, and purposefui. To him God works through natural law. He s sure these natural laws constitute Gods habltual policy in dealing with the material world.
