The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-15
Important Industries

It really didn't take the Secretary of War of the United States, Henry L. Stim- son, to tell us that Waterbury is one of the key cities in our national defense program. Most of us must have realized that long time ago. But the mere fact that Secretary Stimson felt impelled to write Mayor Vincent Scully to urge that nothing be left undone to protect this city in its cooperation with the War De- partment is something of which we can be at the same time proud and little concerned. We have certain duties in this respect. They must not be over looked.
 More than that it has been confirmed officially that war orders are being pre- pared here to go overseas to Great Bri- tain. This has been common talk for some time, but official Washington re- strictions have prevented confirmation of it. The War Department head removes those restrictions while at the same time pointing out that an adequate and we'll protected water supply is necessary at time like this. All of which is but one of the many reasons why the new reservoir in Morris with it's linking pipeline to the city becomes a matter to be rushed to completion, not allowed to go along in haphazard fashion.
 We feel confident that legislative ap- proval being voiced Waterbury will wit ness completion of this big-order contract as rapidly as it can be done without sacri- ficing permanency and durability.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-15

The Waterbury bond bills fared ex- ceedingly well at the hands of Connec- ticut legislators, proving conclusively, we'd say, that the city administration held nothing back in advancing it's claims for them and revealing completely its plans for their use, As a matter Of fact only on principle could one argue against the bond bills. If you don't approve of this city issuing any more bonds, then you can develop an argu- ment along this line. On the other hand the negative approach to this argument is that without bonds the city fathers are forced to maintain an exceedingly high tax rate over great period of years. Debt service today is probably our great, remain so for some time to come, but the fact remains that we are deriving bene- fit from the public functions which this bond money provided.

Oh, Give Me a Home

Some one of these days members of the CCC will probably be warbling some such tune as this if bill now facing the Legislature is approved. The proposed legislation would allow CCC graduates" the right to settle down in Connecticut forests in log-cabin homes of their own. The bill has the support of State Forester Austin F. Hawes and calls for mere appropriation of $28,000 with which to get such settlement work started.
 There might be one drawback to It. applicants. We don't know how many boys who have gone through the rigorous training of the CCC will want to live in the wilds for year or even for six months There will be some, of course, who have developed deep and satisfying love for the great outdoors. To this select group the thought of having as small cabin tucked away in the pines far from the tt sv city streets will be very appealing
 And certainly if there were number of these well-trained youths scattered around the state they could do a lot of good for the State Park and Forest Con- mission They undoubtedly would be glad to contribute their services towards removal of fallen timber, watching for forest fires, ana such related tasks. AS an adjunct of the CCC which has been one of the finest ventures in youth train- ing we've undertaken on national scale the scheme is worthy of serious legislative consideration.

Second Biggest Gold Pile

The vast treasure in gold buried at Fort Knox, Ky, naturally occupies the thoughts of all who are gold-minded, and most men have been for at least 2,000 years. We forget that the second largest gold pile in the world is also in the Vest ern Hemisphere, buried under mountain in Martinique. picturesque Caribbean is- land where Napoleon's Josephine was born.
 The Caribbean has seen dramas before on the theme of gold, when English naval raiders and free-lance pirates preyed on the golden stream that passed through the Panama bottleneck on the way from America to Spain. The French, it now appears, got billion dollars worth of gold aboard cruiser in 1940 just ahead of the invading Germans, and after some thrilling adventures, landed it at Fort Saint Louis de SaiX and Fort de France at Martinique, where it is now buried. We knew that the United States had most of the worlds gold. But this story makes it plain that the Western Hemisphere has practically all of it.

used against the NaZis without first undergoing substantial over- hauling in British factories.
 In fact few of them have been used at all.
 we nave shipped some of them around to the Mediter- ranean, where they are plenty good enough against the Italians" explained one high British air ace. And we are now preparing one squadron of your pursuit planes for action over England, hoping they will prove satisfactory
 And this after months, In fact years of delay.
 It has not leaked out yet, but the performance of American fighter plane engines has been so disappointing that the British have proposed to lend us the "Sabre" their best engine for fighter or pursuit planes, together with en- gineers to supervise It's production in American plants.
 So far William Knudsen, De- fense production rlogul, has op- posed this. He claims that Amer ican models already are in pro- duction and 1t would be unecon- omical to break step and intro- duce a new model. The British, not feeling free to go over Knud- sens head, have hesitated about opening negotiations direct with an American company, through Chrysler is reported to be anxious to start production of the Sabre. GUNS, ARMOR. MOTORS
 The defects of American planes boil down to guns, armor protec- ton, and motors.

cOmpleted ana the result is illumin- ation.
 We must have faith, of course, that there is power-house, and that the incandescent light will glow. If we are skeptical about either we will never throw on the switch. So 1t is with prayer. We have to believe in the power -house, which is God. and we have to be- lieve in our own spiritual capacities, which glow like the incandescent lamp when Gods divine energy runs through them. Faith leads us to approach the switch, and the actual closing of the circuit is prayer. Gods power-house is waiting to give, and our hearts are made to glow. All that is needed is faith on our part that the switch will do the work.
 Jesus spent much time urging His disciples to try prayer. He never reasoned philosophically on the val ue of prayer. He urged men to try it and find its value by use. He even went so far as to say that men ought always to pray, by which He meant that they should always maintain a completed circuit be- tween their needs and the power of the Most High.

The announcement of the plan to put two of the largest U. s. liners into service between New York and Lisbon is encour- aging news to the American shipping ir1- dustry. With all the foreign powers de- voting their energies to war there is no reason why Uncle Sam shouldn't try to gain place in the eyes of those who go in for transatlantic travel. Of late years American ships have gained con- siderably in the public fancy, but the M the great majority go for ocean passage. Even under such circumstances as war time we ought to push our ships.

Selected Poem
THE PATTERN MAKER OF THE WEST RIDING

 (Pear Strachan in The Christian Science Monitor) What are you weaving. Mary Thornton? You haven't any warp in your loom. There's nothing for your weft to move in-under And why do you stay in this room? Don't you know the weaverS are on khaki? There are no bonnie colors any more. The pattern makers had to leave this section They didn't even stop 70 sneck the door What am I weaving, Arthur Gre2sonP What am using for warp? Did you never ramble in the moonlight Out across the moor beyond the thorp? Did you never ranble through the heather, Winding up the thread of words that fell Shining on the purple and the silver Words that you might keep but never tell? Sometimes there two who go together. What one says the other stores away. I have to warp to weave on, Arthur Gregson, Warp at last me many long day. Go back to the looms you thread with khaki. Let one woman daft enough to weave Woof across the words that she remembers Stay where none may watch her come or leave"

man engines fly away from 1t.
 All of which is why the Bri-
 tish have suggested to both the Army and the OPM that we build their Sabre motor in- stead of our own. It is claimed i. that the Sabre can do 425 miles an hour when placed in the Ty- phoon, the latest British pur- suit plane. A more realistic es- timate, in view of armor and guns, is probably 405 miles an hour.
 Even this, however, is very, very fast. British pursuit planes do. ing 370 miles over Dunkirk were able to save the retreating Bri- tish army only because they were faster than the Messerschmitts.
 The Messerschmitts have since increased their speed, but so also have the British. And that is why American pursuit planes so far purchased by the British have been sent to Italy and North Af- rica or have been rebuilt.
 BRASS-HATS vS CIVILIANS
 U. s. Army and Navy officers say their biggest handicap has been lack of aviation research. All airplane experimentation before the war in this country was by commercial companies which were not interested in tremendous speed, guns or armor plate, but in econ- omy and reliability.
 AS 8 result, the Army and Navy were so far behind that at times they no sooner sent a new de- sign to the manufacturer than they learned of some important development in Europe. Then they had to pull the new ship out of the factory just as the manu- facturer had set his dies and ma- chine tools and spend months more getting ready for production.
 Yet in 1888, when the House of Representatives appropriated $l5,000,000 to permit the Navy to conduct general laboratory re- search, the admirals appeared be- fore the Senate and testified that they did not need the money. They said the research they were then conducting was sufficient.
 It is not often that any gov- ernment department turns down money already appropriated by enc branch of Congress. But in this case the admirals knew that civilian scientists would be brought in and the Annapolis brass that's might not be able to spend the money. Rather than have that happen, they scuttled
 the vital program.

 Sounding its trumpets, comes March. Now loud. Now low. Changing its cymbals. Blowing its bugles. Springs symphony of sound.
 To its music, tree-tops bending. To its rhythm, dry leaves whisking. To it's measure, gray clouds march, ing. To its tempo, fur folk scurry- ing.
 Swamps parading pussy willows. Towards the blue, the boys kites flying. With the sunset, peppers pip ing.
 March music calling forth a cro- GUS. Signaling Q srlowdrop. Sum- moning a scylla. Stirring sap in all the branches. Winging north wild- geese formations. Heralding a rush of robins. Accompanying song sparrows' trill. Challenging the larks and red-wings. Mingling with the melody of bluebirds at the dawn. Making merry running water. Sending shadows out to sun.

MT. Henry Has the Floor

The Lend-Lease Bill is law. By demo- cratic process, after two months Of strenuous debate in which every oppor- tllnity was given all sides to be heard over and over again, the peoples repre- sentativeS in Congress have passed 1t, two to one. It is the nations policy, for good or ill. The armament effort must now go into high gear. We have decided that the national safety and future now rest in our ability to arm, not only ourselves, but those other countries where the battle for their freedom is actually raging.
 We arm, and the mind turns back to another crisis. One hundred sixty-six years ago, there was also an appeal for preparedness. In the provincial assembly of Virginia resolution had been intro- duced to put the colony in a state of defense, fit out and train militia Dele gates hesitated. Defense? Defense against the homeland of Britain? True, there had been shooting on Lexington Green and at the Concord Bridge, but New England was far away from Virginia. Far away, and peace was pleasant. Patrick Henry, whose resolution was being de- bated, heard with mounting indignation the objections as the debate dragged on. Then on March 23, 1775, he took the floor, and all his pent-up feeling rushed forth in a flood of oratory which, for long time, every Schoolchild knew.
 "There is no retreat but in submis-
 sion and slavery" Henry cried. "Our
 chains are already forged. Their
 clanking may be heard on the plains
 of Boston. The next gale that sweeps
 from the north will bring the clash of
 resounding arms. Our brethren are
 already on the field. Why stand we
 here idle? What is it that gentlemen
 wish? What would they have? Is
 life SD dear or peace so sweet as to be
 purchased at the price of chains and
 slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!
 know not what course others may
 take, but as for me, give me liberty or
 give me death!"
 Today the clanking of chains is heard in Norway in Holland and Belgium, in Poland and Czechoslovakia and the Bal kans. Today our brethren are already in the field. It is not asked or suggested that we do more than put arms in their hands, meanwhile perfecting and strengthening our own. This we will do. We want no war, and will wage none against any people unless it invades our territory, denies our rights, or immi- nently menaceS our vital interests. But in world which hears ever louder the clank of chains, we are resolved to create that strength which will keep our bodies and souls free.
 We want no war But today's world has given short shrift to other nations which also wanted no war and thought that to do nothing was the best way to keep aloof. We are at last convinced that the best way to keep war away is to create strength for ourselves, and to share it with like-minded nations and peoples. Though we hope it will not, this course may lead to war. So, we have learned, may any other course; so may mere drift ing. We now muster our strength as the best available insurance against being drawn into war. Here we stand, and we stand no longer idle.
