NO SOVIET BOOKS IN SCHOOLS HERE
Present Controversy in Bridgeport Has No Local
 Connection

The city of Bridgeport controv- ersy over school textbooks used in the public schools at Bridgeport and described by educators as "transpar- ent propaganda for Soviet Russia has no bearing on the text books used in Waterbury, Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools stated today.
 The text books under fire are Americas March Toward Democ- racy," The Conquest of America, ' and Changing Countries and Changing Peoples" all authored by Harold Rugg, professor of education at Teachers College, Columbia Uni- versity.
 Charges that the text books, some of which are used in the lower grades, are nothing more than out right propaganda were made last night by Rev. John J. Bennett, as- Sistant pastor of St. Mary's church in Bridgeport, before a group of Bridgeport Council of Catholic Men.
 As result of these charges, the vigilance committee of the Coun- cl of Catholic Men will appear be- fore teachers and school board con- mittees today to oppose any fur- tfer purchases of the books in ques- ton.
 Dr. Corldon, in commenting on the controversy in Bridgeport, stat ed that Waterbury does not use any of the books under fire, and that so far as he knew, the text books used in this city have met with the unqualified approval of everyone concerned.

Quidi Vidi, Newfoundland, March 13-Uncle Sem is taking no chances, lest history repeat. Once before, during the French and English wars, the North American continent was attacked by the landing of French troops at Quidi vidi. To prevent a potential enemy from launching an attack from this point again, the U. 8. Army is building a permanent outpost for American defense on 400-acre site here acquired from England last fall.
 Quidi Vidi, lake and village, is just north and a bit west of the narrows that form the entrance to St. Johns harbor. It is where the people of St. Johns hold their an- nual boat regatta, one of their most important sporting events. There is a little settlement on the shore of

the lake, mostly fisher folk. There is a church and store.
 QUIDI VIDI IS
 ! VACATONLAND
 Newfoundlander consider Quidi Vidi the choice spot of all sites Se- lected for American bases in their country. Within walking distance of St. Johns proper, 1t is rolling ground with some hills back of 1t, and plen- ty of good water for boating, swim ming or fishing. It also has 8 golf course.
 Just beyond Lake Quidi vidi are two rough, weather-beaten barrack buildings. Until Q week ago they housed 28 interned Germans. The Germans were moved on to a prison camp in Canada. And now the Americans have taken over. If they ever find out what Quidi Vidi means as a name, they'll be one up on the average Newfoundlander. HEADQUARTERS FOR U. s.

enter the picture here, as 1t does at Argentina. The biggest ques- tion for the people of St. Johns is how they are going to absorb all. these Americans into their scheme of life. The normal pop- ulation of St. Johns is less than 10000. Already they have thou sands of Canadian and their own soldiers to think of, in addition to the Americans.
 Until the adjustment takes place, the work going on here will upset things. Already there is 8 shortage Of apartments and houses. The Americans who arrived from the States to act as key men have been placed in boarding houses. I asked one of them how he liked it. 'Mis- ter" he told me, "1t's not 8 board- house, it's home. I'm from Alabama and these people could really teach the Southerners something about hospitality"
 Some of the Americans think the rates rather high - room and meals run from eight to thirteen dollars @ week. Some of the men complained of the price of beer and ale - twenty-five to thirty cents a pint. Generally living expenses are about 65 per cent higher than in Canada, according to government officials. That Is one of the effects of the war and interrupted transportation.

 AMERICAN SOLDIERS
 LIKE GREAT OUTDOORS
 I got my greatest surprise when I talked to some of the enlisted men who are to be stationed here the ones who are now quartered on the U. s. Transport Edmund B Alexander. They were not talk ing about the "hot spots," the beer joints and the like.
 They wanted to know the price of hunting and fishing licenses what was the best kind of tackle for salmon and trout. From their talk 1t sounded as though every man had brought along supply of fishing gear. And they're all excited about the prospects of killing a moose or @ caribou.
 It's no wonder. Just over the hill from the camp they can fish in the ocean for cod. Within a few minutes walk or drive they can fish in some of the finest trout mad salmon streams in the world. The hunting is fine.
 And they're welcome to their fun. The people of St. Johns and Newfoundland are eager to make the American soldiers at home at Quidi Vidi. For Quidi Vidi is a part of St. Johns and, as long as American troops are quartered here, the people know they have 6 bulwark between them and the enemy who is only eight hours away by airplaIie.
