At a treacherous time like this, with
an epidemic of contagious colds all
around you, what you do today may
save you and your family a lot OF
sickness, worry and trouble later.
Follow these simple rules ofhealth:
Live normally. Avoid excesses. Eat
simple food. Drink plenty of water.
Keep elimination regular. Take some
exercise daily-preferabiy outdoors.
Get plenty of rest and sleep.
Then use these two time-tested
treatments when needed.
AT THE FIRST SNIFFlE, shEEzE OR
NASAL IRRITATION :. put few drops
of VickS Vd-tro-rol up each nostrll.
This helps to prevent many colds
from developing, because Va-tro-nol
is expressly designed to help Ma
ture's own defenses against colds.
Of a head cold causes stuffiness,
you'll find that a few drops of
Va-tro-nol helps clear the clogging
mucus and makes breathing freer
and easier.)

Senator ConnaIIy
Named President
OF Alfalfa Club
Funsters Nominated Him
In 1881 as Least
Likely TO Succeed

The Alfalfa Club, composed of
men prominent in Government, leg
islative and business affairs, held its
28th dinner at the Willard Hotel last
night and elected as president a
member who had been selected by a
f1ve-man nominating committee
back in 1881.
That member was Senator Tom
Connally of Texas, the Alfalfan the
committee decided 10 years ago was
the least likely to succeed in life
and who would know less about
Alfalfa affairs.
Last nights ceremony opened with
salute to the colorS by a detach-
ment of marines with bugles and
drums. After the opening number,
Joseph H. Hines, outgoing president,
made tWo-minute speech in which
he paid tribute to alfalfa, the weed
that goes farthest into the ground
for moisture.
After the new president had been
elected, the retiring officer named
Thomas w. McKneW. former Repre-
sentative Bertrand Smell, Henry B.
Spencer and Lloyd Wilson as a COM
mittee to induct Senator Connally
into office.
Hogan for President of U. S.
The club nominated Frank j.
Hogan, Washington attorney and
former president of the American
Bar Association, for the presidency
of the United States on the Alfalfa
ticket.
In an acceptance speech in which
he recalled that it was the second
time in year that man who never
had sought public Office before had
been nominated for the presidency,
Mr.. Hogan declared that IT care not
who Is right or wrong, just so I am
member Of the American Bar
Association.
He said he was making a speech
to end all acceptance speeches, that
he would retain certain of the ad-
ministration's present personnel,
particularly Secretary of State Hull,
because you've got to have a Hull
to keep ship of state af1oat." He
| concluded with a promise to leave
foreign policy to President Roosevelt.

IFA CHEST COLD OR COUGHING COLD
DEVELOPS (some colds get by all pre-
cautions) use Vicks VdpoRub to re-
lieve miseries. Rub VapoRub on
throat, chest and back and cover

stimulates surface of chest and back
like a poultice. At the same time it
releases helpful medicinal vapors
that are breathed direct into the irri-
tated air passages.
Both Va-tro-nol and VapoRub
have been tested through years of
use in millions of homes. When you
use these two medicines you are not
experimenting, you are not taking
needless chances. Remember: If the
condition of the cold fails to respond
quickly to treatment-or If more
serious trouble is indicated-call
your family physician right away.
In the meantime be prepared Get a

Too Late Now

The New Britain Herald finds the con- dition of the Pequabuck River through the territory near Plymouth, Terryvllle, Bristol and Forestville deplorable. We don't doubt it for similar conditions exlst in many other localities where manu- featuring establishments empty their wastes into nearby streams. The Herald finds that the Pequabuck often exhibits all the colors in the rainbow due to the presence of acids and other substances in the water.
 It calls upon the State Water Commis- sion to "get busy. Or busier''. All ot which is a big order. The State Water Commission is pretty busy every day ot the year now just trying to get the re- maining communities of Connecticut without adequate sewage systems to ln- stall them. Even our own fair city IS included in the list of those places which pollute a nearby watercourse, in our ln- stance, the Naugatuck River.
 The case of the industrial plants pol luting watercourSeS, though, is slightly different and calls for an entirely diff ferent solution of the problem A city or town can build sewage beds or some other type of disposal plant and utilize it, but it isn't as easy as all that for the factory that utilizes the nearby stream In the first place for some types of fac tory waste there may not yet be any means of rendering it fit to be emptied into the stream. For others the cost ot controlling waste flowage is prohibitive.
 The commission, We know, from past experience is doing good job to end stream pollution. And even before 1t has succeeded in getting every community to mend its lax ways it is considering the special problem of the mill wastes.

Easy Does It

The current epidemic of influenza, grippe, head colds or what have you re- calls very wildly the terrible days of 1918 when people were actually dropping at their work But there doesn't seem to be a similar resemblance in the present outbreak of the disease. Where the 1918 Scourge was actually that in every sense of the word, claiming many victims here as well as elsewhere, the present epidemic is widespread but the disease itself IS not as serious one. Either that or med ical science has made tremendous ad- vance since 1918 in the care and treat ment of influenza cases.
 No doubt the last reason is true to considerable extent but it is also quite true that the type of influenza now wide spread throughout New England and eastern United States is not the same virulent disease that terrified people twenty odd years ago. Waterbury like so many other New England cities was on warlike basis at the time. We had been in the great conflict almost year when the flu started to sweep through entire communities. The war was over, however, before the epidemic had ceased to become cause for alarm.
 And that's one thing we shouldn't ex- perience now. There is no cause for alarm whether or not you are suffering from a slight cold or a bad one. But there is cause for concern at the man. ner in which the cases are spreading. It means that too many of us are not exer- cising the most ordinary precautions in preventing this rapid spread. We are either exposing ourselves to contact with persons with colds or else we're passing the germs alon. At time like the present there are few simple rules that everyone ought to adhere to very reli- giously. Most of us know them and merely need to be reminded to put them into practice right now.

matter of state action. States are tightening up. The North Carolina Su- preme Court, for instance, has ruled that property owned by an institution must be used for institutional purposes to be exempt from taxes.
 The National Association of Assessing Officers has noted the trend toward such tightening citing properties as valu- able as the ChrySler Building in New York, which belongs to Cooper Union ana cies in times of higher government costs are inevitable and they suggest that in coming years assessors and legislatures will have job cut out for them to make rulings that will be alike just to the gen. eral taxpayer and those who have be- come accustomed to a privileged position.

Safety An Anchronism?

The National Safety First Association in London is thinking of changing its name The style Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents" has been. Sug- gested as more in key with the times. It is easy to see why Safety First is pret- ty empty slogan in Britain these days. For Britain definitely chose to put safety last when it chose to side with Poland. The safe way would have been to ignore the Polish invasion.
 But Britain chose to take the danger ous way. It had seen that for many the way that had seemed safe at the moment turned out to be fatal in the long run. In that sense, there is no longer any "safe way" for any of the worlds peoples. It is just as important as ever to curb un- necessary accidents. But to people like the British, whose every day of added life is in itself an adventure, the term safe" can no longer mean what it was meant to mean.

A Million Men

The old-fashioned orator used to glory in shouting that, should the United States face any emergency, "a million men would spring to arms overnight" The o. f. O. never bothered about whether there would be any arms to spring to, or whether s-ybody would know how to operate them But there was a glowing, comforting ring to his oration in an easy world.
 The United States has been face to face with an acute international situation for more than year. Thus far 5000 men have sprung to arms in the army, navy and marine corps We haven't quite reached the million after years effort, and when we do (which will be shortly) it is only beginning, merely foundation on which to build such forces as are found necessary.

Gambling With Credit

The frequenter of New York gambling houses may soon be losing more than merely his money - he may lose his own credit standing Mayor La Guardia has ordered the names and addresses of all patrons in gambling houses taken down by raiding police, and plans to turn this information over to institutions which specialize in credit ratings. One nationally known rating house has already indicated that it thinks this in- formation is pertinent, and that it will be glad to receive it.
 Mayor La Guardia counts as lost that day on which he fails to do at least one spectacular thing. It will be interesting to note how he fares with this new plan. It is just possible that it may cut some of the cream off the top of the take" of gambling houses, for to risk ones credit along with ones money doubles the odds against men whose chance of winning is already microscopic.

Gov. Robert A. Hurley gave indication in his inaugural address that he might not look too favorably on an educational expansion plan that includes two or three new trade schools in Connecticut. The governor isn't sure that we'll need them once the present industrial boom, the result of the war and our own na- tional defense program, tones down a bit He wonders if perhaps we may not have lot of empty institutions on our hands when that day arrives. That must be given serious consideration, to be sure. But even Dr. Alonzo Grace, State Con- missioner of Education, thinks there is need of three more trade schools right now, one of them to be located in the Naug gatuck Valley. Waterbury is vitally concerned with this problem and while the city won't pine away and die for lack of such a school, nevertheless it would supply long-felt need. Lack of skilled factory help is noticeable today and will be even more so in the years to come, what with lack of facilities to interest growing boys in the crafts.

number who couldn't get jobs be- cause of inability to meet rudi- mentary qualifications for phySi- cal condition, aptitude and back ground.
 The schools also have diScov- cred that the program is a lot bigger than they anticipated and is interfering witht heir regular activities. Some now are demur- ring at keeping their shops open on 23-hour basis, even if the federal government pays the freight.
 The Defense Commission is now studying a strongly -worded con- fidential report from the Inter state Conference on Defense En- ployment recommending drastic changes of thetraining program. Among them are:
 l. Training should be con- ducted separately from regu- lar vocational education activi- ties.
 2. Type of training and trainees should be based on specific industrial needs and should be approved by the U. s. Employment Service.
 3. Private defensee train ing" schools and finance com- panies that are advancing funds for tuition should be investi- gated by government agents. STOP, LOOK

MOTHER OF AN AMERICAN SON ASKS EVERYONE TO TO BEG CONGRESS NOT TO REPEAL
 NEUTRALITY ACT

WdGc1Uu1y, NOllIA', January 16, 1941. Editor of The Democrat:
 There are great many people who advocated aiding Britain be- cause they are told that Hitler will invade America if England loses. If Hitler had to seize Holland and Belgium to get bases nearer Eng land to invade her, how can he in- wade our country over 5000 miles of ocean, especially after being ex- hausted by the war he is fighting? These people believe that we can do this without being drawn into active participation.
 The next step, however, will be the repeal of the Neutrality Act and the Johnson Act. That means sending arms in our ships with our navy conveying them. Then we are really in the war. Secretary Knox's paper had an editorial which stat ed that if we entered the war we would enter it to win, and, if necessary to win, who would send an expeditiinary force. And he should know!
 If you want to save our young men from death in the air, on the water, and in trenches write now to your Senators and Con9ressmen, begging them to oppose the repeal of the Johnson Act and the Neutral ity Act. Defend America first! Sincerely,
 MOTHER OF AN AMERICAN SON

like. She has no worldly ambi- tions, desires no fame, seeks no romance, asks no reward offered on this earth. She is poor. chaste, abedient, anxious to be always the maximum of service to her Sisters and to her neighb0rs; and a min- imum of annoyance. She has the lOvelieSt manners existent in the world; is modest, soft-vOiced, i'm variably gay. Laughter comes to her as easily as sunlight.
 She is a member of what seems to me to be one of the strongest proofs of hereafter on this earth. I speak not as member of the Catholic church, or sectarian, but as a person who has always ad- mired these holy women. u
 A nun gives up all she possessSA in this world, her wealth, her home, her heart and her life. She devotes all her time, energy and attention to the rearing of others children, to the guiding of youths and to the turning of mature minds to lOftier sentiments, with no hope whatever of any reward except that which she hopes for in the great beyond.
 There is no more potent demon stration of the existence of God than the work of the Sisters. Their trials and tribulations are suffered in silence so as not to add burdens on the world. They are the cOun- try's greatest patriots; and are de- serving of the title Angels of Mercy"
 Of such are the Sisters. Of such will be the Sisters-until the end of time and the cOmmencement of eternity.

We're making all sorts of efforts these days to improve traffic conditions throughout Waterbury. We've got me ters to control all day parking in cen tral areas We've got ban on all-night parking to prevent trouble in the event of heavy snowstorms or bad fires. Now it remains to do something about the individual driver. Even before this ex- tremely cold weather started there was a great tendency on the part of the aver age driver to ignore the car behind or ap,, proaching. Few if any drivers use hand signals any more. They turn right or left without any warning whatsoever. A few check-ups along this line might not hurt anyone.
