MT. LAKE PARK

It's a small place, but do they have
big ideas? Anyhow this coming cleo
ton in July has just about finished
your correspondent. Nevertheless, we
still get plenty of candidates. Some
one has given US the name of John
Bayless for council. John is good ma
terial. But then there are so many
aspirants that it's rather bewildering.
The only lady council candidate is not
sure that she will run. She has a
great many supporters, but like all of
the female species" she would APP
preciate having a lady running mate
sort of a companion, as it were.
Somehow we are all for the ladies.
They seem to be able to get to the
root of things. Mountain Lake has
plenty of supporters, all good and
true, but as Mrs F. P Aronld says,
81 should like to see what woman's
council will do. 1t is hardly probable
or possible that there will be or could
be a council of women, but if we had
two representative women on it that
might mean a great deal to the town.
Then we have heard the name of
Mrs. Belle Nine suggested-a very
fine person. It's a pity that there is
really so much material here and that
we, as citizens, can not utilize it.
However, this is the first election
since the town was Incorporated that
there has really been any interest, all
of which augers well.
Any person coming out for any Of
flee at the present time can be as
sured of absolute election if they will
solve for the citizens of the Park the
dog question. A very good citizen Of
the Park (and they do pay their
taxes) said to a group: Lets call
Mountain Lake Dog Town"-that's
really what it should be called. We
had to agree; there are more loose
dogs in Mountain Lake than ever be-
fore. Just about three citizens keep
their dogs on a leash.
There are at least fifty dogs run
ming at large in the Park There just
isn't any use to try to grow flowers.
And so we say if any candidate, no
matter for what office, will assure
the citizens that they will enforce
that dog ordinance believe it OF not
we have one) they can be sure of cleo
ton.
We have many friends VINO have
dogs, and we venture to say that if
they were notified by the town Of
ficials that they must do something
about their dog, they would do it.
Many of these dogs are our friends,
but after all, when one has worked
trying to make a flower garden and
these "dog friends" come in and tear
it up-well, it's a bit too much.
We read quite an article ON dog
laws in many states. You'd be sur
prised at all we discovered. 1t wasn't
all in favor of the person. If dog
takes bite at you that's OK, if it's
the first bite, he is entitled to that.
If you don't believe US look it up.
Anyhow, what we are saying is,
what are the citizens going to do

Give It Back to the Indians?

Descendants of the original Mohegan Indians who once roamed the eastern prairies of Connecticut are in demand ing mood. Their representations were made known to the Legislature this week. They want something done about land that, according to their claims, was taken, probably by force, from them away back in 1880. That's the year they say treaty was entered into with the Legislature and whereby the state agreed to compensate the redskins for land taken by the state.
 They now say that most of New Lon- don County and parts of both Holland and Windham counties were once their lands over which this tribesman roamed and from which they eked out nomadic existence. Who of us is there to dispute the claim? He who does so must be "up" on his history of the 17th century in Connecticut. Incidentally this land the Indians now claim is valued by them at 50,000,000. If the state doesn't give it back to the Indians, where will it get the cash?
 However, we presume the issue won't ever get beyond the sacred halls of the Capitol unless the Mohegans are obsti- nate enough to carry the case into the courts where no doubt they might win a Judgment against the state for failure to carry out its part of the treaty, but where they never would be granted any thing like the full value today of their land. The courts, might appraise the land as of 1880 which would eliminate a lot of fancy do-dads, like state parks along the ocean, Connecticut River drives, etc.

Virginia recently told the Senate that the Defense Mediation Board should have the power to take Jurisdiction over labor disputes without waiting for Secretary Per- kins 10 certify them, he was say ing out loud what members of the Board have been discussing privately among themselves.
 It was on Miss Perkins in- siStcncc that her certifying auth orlty was included in the Presi- dents order setting Up the MedI- ation Board. OPM chiefs op- posed 1t for fear that the Labor Department would use 1t to hold on to cases in the hope of get- ting credit for settling them. This IS exactly what happened in the coal strike, which could have been avoided had the matter been promptly certified to the Media ton Board.
 After a month of practical eX- perience, members are convinced that this is the biggest single ob- stacle to their effectiveness in averting defense strikes. They want authority to take charge Of controversies without waiting for the Secretary Of Labor to give them the green light.

Athletics Forgotten

It's funny how everything that might act like a binding influence between 11a- tionS of the earth is completely forgot ten when war rages. Take, for example, the Olympic Games. The 1940 series was originally scheduled to be held in Japan and marvellous preparations started right after the 1936 event. But Japan went to war with China and asked that the games be held elsewhere. So little Fin land made her bid and was awarded the games. Helsinki started to get ready for the great event, but just thirteen months ago Helsirlki became an enemy combat area.
 So therell be no Olympic Games until 1944 when, according to the records, they are scheduled to be held in London. Whether therell be London or not we don't know. The summer games, though, are still listed for London and the winter sports for Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy. Much may happen before these events are run off and athletes from all nations of the earth gather to pit their skill one against the other.
 And by the same token, too, there'll be no competition for the Davis Cup, symbol of tennis supremacy, this summer. There wasn't any year ago, because Australia, winner of the trophy from the United States in 1889, was at war. During the last World War there was five year gap in this international tennis play. No one hopes for a repetition, but anything can happen with such terrible conflagration in Europe today. One must only hope that when the war is over and God grant that this may be soon, nations may again vie on the athletic field with no rancor or feeling other than that of true sportsman ship.

the defense economy will be with us in- definitely, perhaps permanently, in prep aration for the lonely last-ditch defense which will be our only alternative
 Some day all that will end. Then the United States will be squarely up against the problem of whether it can run a 55,000, ,000-job economy or whether it must slump supinely back to 45,000,- 000-job economy with 10,0O0,000 unem- ployed Nobody has the blueprints in simple terms of just how that is to be done. But it will be done. America is getting into mood in which it believes that what is necessary to be done, it can do, and will do.

Unemployment Melts Away

The blanketing unemployment prob- lem, which spread over the whole coun- try for the past 10 years like the glaciers which came down from the north aeons ago, is beginning to melt away as those great glaciers melted under a warmer sun. The sun today is the defense pro- gram. The change in national climate may not be permanent, but at the moment, the glacier is melting into streams of men flowing into the chan nels of industry.
 The unemployed today are estimated at 6,142,0 by the National Industrial Conference Board. A year ago the cen- sus found 8,500,00 unemployed. By next spring, there is every reason to believe that another 3,000,000 will find work. That would leave only 3,000,000 unem- ployed. That would be another 1929. In that boom year there were almost 2,0OO,- 900 without work. Three million now would be only in the same proportion to our increased working population. Prob ably at least million more men are working today than in 1929
 Once more let it be said that the sun of defense activity which is melting away unemployment does not necessarily mean permanent change of climate. This sun is a heat wave. It will return behind it's clouds when the emergency is over, as 1t will be some day, though not as soon as some people seem to think. If Britain and It's allies win the war, it will certainly take them two years more to do 1t, perhaps longer. If they lose it,

It Costs to Serve

William McChesney Martin, president of the New York Stock Exchange, took a salary cut of $3,979 month when he went into the army. That's the differ ence between his Wall Street salary and the $21 a month he will draw as recruit. It is quite sacrifice. It is spectacular in terms of money, and thus it draws at- tention.
 But it is not greater sacrifice, perhaps it is not as great as the sacrifice which many other men are making who never drew down in year the salary which Martin drew every month. Sacrifice is not measured in terms of money, and many others are giving up quite as much in terms of their dependents, their careers, and their lives as Martin. All credit to Martin, of course, for accepting willingly what has come to him. But it would be ungracious to stress Martins sacrifice unduly, when it is no greater than that of almost every other man who joins the colors. All honor to every one of them!

Plans are being made for construction of an unusual airport up above Hartford in the tobacco country. It will be the most completely camouflaged landing field in all the United States. Everything will resemble a peaceful countryside. A tobacco barn will be repair-shop; planes will be moored under trees; a roadside restaurant will house workers. A nearby church steple will become a radio arl- tenna. Army engineers now working on the project promise finished article that will surpass anything that ever has been devised in this respect It's close to home; we hope 1t will be more of movie" prop erty than anything more deadly.

TAX BILL OF TODAY GIVES NEW HOPE TO HOME
 OWNER
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Noting the reduction on my tax bill I cannot refrain from express ing my sincere thanks and appre- citation, as e home owner, for the efficient and economical method used by Mayor Scully in transacting the business of the city, resultant in great savings in all departments to the taxpayer.
 This continued saving will again reinstate real estate and home own ership to It's proper status in this community. The discouraged home owner, who previously displayed pride stability and character by purchasing Q vital, valid, and valu- able stake in his home city, has reason ftH renewed hope by reason of lesseried and lessening tax rate. Mayor Scully should be congratu- lated on the result of his efforts against waste and extravagances of taxpayers money. No further evi- dence is necessary than the finan- cial report of the Comptroller to convince the citizenry that we have at the head of city government conscientious executive ever mind ful of the economical expenditure of city funds, yet never minimizing nor jeopardizing the educational health or civic needs of the people.

Talking and Voting

Practically everyone Is for hemisphere defense and closer relations with Latin America The average legislator will sing the praises of such work to the skies one moment, and then turn and vote against this accepted national policy by support ing some measure which actually hamp- CTS trade with those countries
 Many of the Latin countries are in a precarious state economically these days, with the normal European market cut off. Their political stability may not last unless means are found to increase their sales in the United States. We can't eat our cake of hemisphere defense and have it, too, in the form of tariff or other bar riers again South American products. Yet some of the loudest shouters for improv- ing such trade relations are the first to vote for barriers to restrict 1t, blind to the woods of hemisphere defense because of the trees of some local or special interest.

Little New Hampshire doesn't do lot of talking about It's pari-mutuel racing bill, but when 1t comes time for the state to take action on whether or not 1t will continue to allow legalized betting at race-tracks, there's always enough votes to carry it through. Right now the issue faces the Legislature and one obstacle has already been crossed. A Legislative committee has already approved a bill which would allow betting for ten more years within the state. Originally the franchise for racing had only called for an extension of four years. But within the Legislature 1t was extended to ten years. All of which would sort of indi- cate that New Hampshire may be small and she may be rocky, but she relies on some of the revenue from horse-racing to make up for other things. The state seems almost paradox in this respect, located as 1t is right between the rock ribbed Vermonters and the straight-laced Maine Staters.

 There must have been something about our Lords preaching which had Q similar effect on mems hearts. So many thoroughly bad men became thoroughly good men after months Of contact with Jesus, that He must have stabbed their minds and hearts with the realiza- ton of their own unworthiness and held before them the profound privilege Of sonship to God.
 A good friend seldom hurts any ones feelings, but he continually stings the conscience of his fellows and, without appearing to do SO, goads them on to better deeds.

And 1t is not always kindness which turns the trick. As often as not .t is some word which stingS the con- science ard starts US along diff ferent pathways.

People still comment favorably on the use of parking meters here in Waterbury. They're Well-liked for the most part and we presume their operation here will be indefinite. Motorists who make frequent calls in the business sections of the city now can find parking places and when move along to make room for the next parker. It works out well for everybody, but, perhaps the all-day parker.
