is the old school tie, though there
are fewer of him. The issue is open,
sore and dangerous, but really
irrelevant.
Certain diehards of the right and

Request Filed 10 Double

Request for authorization to double
air transport service between the
United States and Alaska was filed
with the Civil Aeronautics Board
yesterday by Pan American Airways
The program filed with the board
provides four high-speed schedules
weekly between Seattle and Juneau,
reducing mail and travel time from
the present so hours by steamer to
six hours by air. Through co-ordi-
nation Of schedules between Pan
American and the lines Of United
Air Lines and Northwest Airlines at
Seattle, 20-hour through service will
be operated from Washington and
New York to the capital of Alaska.
BY the fastest surface transporta-
ton the trip requires week.
Using Lockheed land transports
especially equipped for the service,
Pan American proposes to operate
nonstop schedules over the 950-
mile coastal airway between Seattle
and Juneau. Daily one-stop service
will be operated between Juneau
and Fairbanks, in Central Alaska.
Service between Seattle and Ju-
neau was operated last summer by
flying boat on schedules calling for
two round trips a week.

Defense Stamps at Stores

A number of the principal retailers are now planning to place Defense Savings Stamps on sale in their stores. This is being done at the request of Secretary Morgenthau, who wrote to one chain store association: We will indeed well come the type of cooperation outlined. Knwing, as l do, the group of retailers you represent, feel they will render a great and permanent service to the Ma tional Defense Program"
 These stores should prove one of the best possible outlets for the stamps. The purpose of the stamp sales is to secure money for defense expenditures from broad cross-section of the public, rather than from a reltively smal humber of large investors. And the stores patrons are families of average and moderate means. The stamps sell for ten and twen- ty-five cents, and the typical customer can afford to purchase one or more when doing his shopping. When a sufficient number of stamps have been accumu- lated, they may be exchanged for an ln- terest-bearing defense bond at banks and post offices. :.
 The retailers are to be congratulated on this new activity. Tens of millions worth of defense stamps and bonds must be sold weekly if the defense effort is to be financed on a sound basis. Keep that in mind when you do your shopping = buy as many stamps as you can afford. Every purchase you make helps to build you financial cushion for the future.

Old Landmarks Vanishing

The reports that the Lake Quassapaug amusement area will shortly be razed to make way for realty development are somewhat disturbing in that they spell, very probably, the end of what has been for long years one of Waterbury'S favorite summer resorts QuasSapaug is very definitely a resort that has been with us down through the years. It is not of recent vintage, but goes away back even beyond the days when the Connecticut Company started to develop It. Many Waterburian can recall visiting Quassa- paug afoot or perhaps in horse-drawn buggy or some other equipage.
 It probably enjoyed its greatest pop ularity, though, with the advent ot the Quassapaug trolley line. All summer long 1t was rendezvous for young tolks and for a great many fathers ana mothers who wanted to take the chll- dren out for an airing by the cool waters of the lake. Its distance from Waterbury made it particularly accessible Of late years for motorists. All in all 1t enjoyed popularity through the various phases of transportation, many of which spelled the doom for other such resorts, notaply the old High Rock Grove area.
 So 1t was with some feeling of sadness that we read the area to which most Waterburians have gravitated at some time in their lives will be no more shortly. All the concessions, expanded consider ably of recent years, will be razed to make way for modern realty development. Eventually the lake will find itself still as popular with summer vacationers as ever, but minus the general meeting place for vacationer and casual visitor Some other spot may eventually become such a mecca, but none will bring back the memories as does the present amusement area nor recall such figures as those of the late "Nfike" OConnell or rom" Kelly.

 But since then a large nun. ber of U. S. military and naval attaches have been flying secretly to Moscow. How close they are getting to the Russian front is not yet definitely known, but at any rate they are leaving for Rus sia with the understanding that they will get close.

Well, 1t begins to look as if hope springs

We'll, 1t begins to look as if hope springs eternal in the human breast after all: Or maybe we're just too gosh-blamed optimistic. At any rate there's life in the Waterbury Republican Party yet although "Eddie" Udelowitz doesn't think so At any rate "Eddie's" latest blast at the COP moguls, high, low, and In between, had scarcely died away in the distance when out came announcements that eX- mayor Patrick Perriello and Alderman Burton Walker might be persuaded to accept the Republican nomination for mayor. There should be little doubt left in the mind of anyone that either of these estimable gentlemen would refuse the nomination If 1t was offered to them. That seems to be the rub, though. Here the party seeking to rehabilitate and re- establish itself in the eyes of the elec- torate of Waterbury, has two perfectly good candidates and yet a person might get the impression that 1t Is shying away from both of them. Why, it's not too hard to say, but to do so merely reflects little credit on the good judgment Of the present party leaders.
