His Hearts Not In 1t

!. According to all reports from New York City Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia will run for office again this fall, but he won't do so with the characteristic vim and ,vigor that has been his in two previous campaigns. The doughty executive won't enter into any primary battles and prob ably won't do much but go through the motions of seeking the office That ought to be enough for him to win, though, but mot in a Walk-away. In the Democratic candidate, William O'Dwyer the Brook
 lyn prosecutor, the mayor will have the best opponent he has yet faced.
 Furthermore he will find himself facing
 Democratic Party that will be more united behind O'Dwyer than it has since the days of Jimmie Walker Not that
 this is sure proof of Democratic success at the polls. It can't be argued that a united Democratic Party is now enough to insure victory in New York City mot when the opposing candidate is Mayor sLaGuardia. He'll not only be the candidate .of the Republican Party but he'll have the backing of most of the city's inde- pendent voters
 This should be an interesting contest flor it will pit against one of New York's real outstanding executives, probably it's hardest working mayor in history, q hard
 hitting prosecutor who fought his way up
 from the foot of the line to an enviable
 role in the nations crime-busting history.
 Win or lose we think New York City will get good government.

Use Some Judgment

During the next few days Waterbury is going to play host to tremendous number of members and friends of the American Legion and its allied organizations. There are actually four different conventions going on in this city right now, represent /. ing the Legion proper, it's auxiliary the fun-making "40 and 8" and its auxiliary. Not merely are these different groups rep resented by delegates, but hundreds of others will be attracted here by the &C., tivities This imposes certain obligations . on all of us.
 No one plans to suspend normal bus mess operations throughout the remain der of the week. but we should take into consideration conditions existing, such as increased traffic on our main streets. For the different social activities that are scheduled it would be wise for residents to leave their own automobiles at home and utilize busses or else do some walking, This would be tremendous help to all concerned. It would relieve congestion in and around our business section, bad enough in normal times, but bound to be ,doubly so for a day or two.
 :, If it's necessary to drive in to town each day parking places should be found off the city streets or at great distance from the more heavily travelled arteries. Saturday when the parade is to be .Gneld is going to be extremely busy DO your weekend shopping early and avoid the rush and crush. Cooperate with the police at all times and accept their orders Or directions without quibbling. Whole hearted support of plans that should be looked up in advance will save lot of {. wear and tear on the nerves of all Of us.

War CasuaIties in U. S. A.

Nobody doubts any longer that the United States is tremendously affected by the war in Europe. It now has begun to touch every phase of daily life. But would you think it was actually causing traffic deaths? Colonel John w. Bos- worth, state police superintendent of West Virginia, says it is. Highway acci- dents actually increase in West Virginia with Hitler'S movement, Bosworth says, and warfare in Europe is spilling the lives of Americans thousands of miles away from it. People feel uncertain and in- secure, he thinks, and thus they grow careless and reckless.
 It seems far-fetched, but there might be something to it, at that. It is surely true that the long months of uncertainty wear some peoples nerves thin. Trying to pass that car ahead on rising curve, however, will do Hitler no harm whatever; much more is accomplished by staying be- hind, arriving two minutes later, and being on the job the next morning instead of on slab.
