might have taken years to develop under normal circumstances. Many of these require adjustments that may become permanent, will remain even when Europe comes back into the trade picture. For example, if the United States equips itself to Smelt Bolivian tin, trade should become permanent in that metal between the two countries. If Brazil rehabilitates it's rubber industry, this, too, might form a permanent trade link, no matter what happens in Europe or Asia. Many changes and adjustments are being made which, once made and found good, will be hard to dislodge.
 Quietly but steadily, Canada is moving into the orbit of the western hemisphere. Most Americans of the United States do not realize that even today, as result of changes made after the World War, Canada is an independent nation. That independence will be even more marked after this war, again regardless of it's result. Now Canada puts an exclama- tion point after both it's independence and it's hemisphere interests by exchanging ministers with Argentina and Brazil; Chile and other South American countries are expected to follow suit. These direct diplomatic links to the southern part of the hemisphere will serve to bind Can ada still closer to it's destinies, and give her a more active part in shaping them.
 It has long been proposed that Canada become one of the nations of the Pan- American Union This, too, appears to be a development that is merely matter of the time and the occasion. Canada has large interests in South America, and many of her people have gone there, Canada increasing industrialization sug- bests that it may well increase those in- terests, as it did not long ago in building a new airplane factory in Mexico. Just as it is only a question of time until it will be possible to drive car on single highway from Alaska to the Argentine, so one day all the peoples from Yukon Territory to Patagonia will perfect the machinery of living together until it shall be an example to the world

Press Comment
BEST SAFETY EDITORIAL
Bridgeport Post)

Millions of words have been written on the subject of safety during the past year, not to men, tion the preceding years. Placed end to end they would doubtless cover all the paved roads of the country.
 Connecticut has had its share of these safety editorials and a full quota of them has appeared in these columns. However, the best of the lot to date was not written by any editor or professional writer but by student in Winsted High school, Miss Mildred Oliver of the class of Al.
 The editorial appeared recently in the high school publication and we quote it herewith in full. It speaks for itself:
 Safe driving is restful, refresh ing and fun but it wouldn't be if roads were not smooth, reasonably straight, kept in repair and well marked. Our state provides us with these facilities for enjoyable, safe driving. It is only fair, then, for all drivers to cooperate in lowering the accident rate.
 Tt is certainly not difficult to drive safely in Connecticut. People have only to obey the laws and traffic signs. In a democracy like ours laws are never made that are impossible. Yet every year the state publishes statistics about in- juries and deaths which occur in the state highways. The mere un- emotionalized figures are rather ap- palling. They show that probably 365 persons will be killed this year in traf1c accidents. They show that last year one person was killed

Over in Meriden recently judge in the police court brought up nice ques- tion of parental responsibility duties, etc The case involved youngster of IT, a high school student who was charged with speeding and driving car while his license was suspended. It was the judges contention that a high school boy should not be allowed to drive back and forth to school, even though he had car of his own. To this the father en- tered the plea that the distance from his home was too great to require the boy to walk. T walked twice as far to school and I bet you did, too," retorted His Honor It was then argued that we are living in different times and that chil- dren today have more privileges and are allowed more material things than those of previous generations. The outcome, though, was imposition of fine for the law violation, which is as it should be. If parents do thing the times have chan ged and children should have more priv ileges, then, too, they must accept the responsibilities going with them. That's fair, isn't it?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-12

It must have been bit of disappoint- ment for Connecticut folks to read that Congress had turned down the appeal for more funds for the Coast Guard Academy at Avery Point. Of course it was quite a sum that was asked-$3, 100000, but this amount would have gone long ways toward making the institution one of the finest of it's kind. It is rapidly becom- ing a fine training school for those boys who desire to enter this particular branch of service and certainly it should be en- couraged in a material way. At such a time as this when we are defense-minded, some effort surely should be made to aid in expansion of the school facilities.

of any other nation. In the third place, he would listen thought fully to the counsel of thoss who opposed him and would often shape his policy on the basis of their advice. Last of all, we can be quite sure that he would try to make his every act contribute to the firm establishing of democratic principles.
 There was nothing in Abraham Lincoln that was not simple, honest, and courageous. He made quite a few mistakes, and no one knew this any better than he. But his ann bitions were all for the welfare of his country. and he had a passion to spend himself and burn out his life completely In service to his fellows.h To this day as we look at his picture. the deep and under standing eyes gespeak a man who loved humanity and who was very sure that goodness abode in the hearts of his fellows and in the purposes of God.

The American Boy Scout

While the nations industrial machine labors at an ever-increasing pace to arm us, other important factors must not be overlooked. Building and maintaining the countrys morale is as important to national defense as expanding produc- tion.
 That is why it is encouraging to note that the theme for Boy Scout Week IS Strengthening and Invigorating Democ- racy." Positive measures are the order of the day. The million and one-half boys and men who make up the American Scout Movement are pursuing nation wide program of action to make scouting a signal and effective asset to our country in this national emergency. By emphaslz- ing doubly their regular program Of edu- cation and energetic activity the members of the Boy Scouts of America hope to per form an important part in the task Of re- vitalizing the ideals and practices of Amer ican democracy.
 In the week of February 7-13, 1941, the public will be able to judge the results so lar of intensive intra-organizational actlv- ity which the Boy Scouts have carried on calmly since early in September. A nation wide roll call and inventory, completed ln December in every one of the forty seven thousand Scout units, is the basis of an extensive plan designed to make Scouting more effective with those already enrolled as Scouts and to extend the benefits ot Scout Training to the thousands and thou sands of boys who are eager to be better equipped to serve their fellow men and their country.
 In many communities older Scouts are making ready to act in Emergency Serv- ice Corps, trained to apply Scout training in assisting the Red Cross and other existing agencies in times of disaster. In many of the 545 Local Councils, too, plans for rapid and efficient concentra- ton of Scclt units for community ser vice on short notice have been adopted and put into practice. In countless minor ways, members of the Boy Scouts are helping to make democracy living, vital creed.
 The Boy Scout motto is Be Prepared" It is healthy hign, one that bodes well for the future of our nation and the Scout Movement, that they are living up to it in every sense of the phrase.

Housing Plans for Waterbury

A profusion of public housing arrange ments for this city seems imminent, judg- ing by the news of the day. Right now there is underway a survey to determine the number of vacancy units existing throughout the city. There also IS ap- parently an effort started to give Water bury a 3OO-unit defense housing project. These are new departures from the ted- eral housing projects of several years ago which never caught the pubic tancy ot this city, despite a definite amount or support here for their furtherance.
 Some confusion may exist over these several types of federal endeavor, none or which seems to be related. The older housing plans, sometimes referred to as federal loW-cost projects, demanded de1- mite amount of local cooperation, Such as money and tax exemptions. The newer projects defense, and housing-are l0O per cent federal supported. But even Ill this field there may be certain demands made upon a municipality. No one seems to know just what, but everyone IS con- vinced there will be demands.
 Just what means were taken to de- termine the 300 housing units that wa terbury IS SalQ 10 neeu Il we heeP UAio defense program moving smoothly here is as yet unknown. But by the press we note that the same number of units are required also in New Britain, where a similar project is to be launched. And only yesterday news came of survey to determine the vacancy units in the city which would certainly throw some light on what might be needed in the way ot new homes or rents
 We certainly hope that Waterbury will emerge from this situation without any complications. The city is most willing to do all in it's power to further the de- fense program It will lend a willing hand to everything designed for such purpose. But there does seem to be need for clarification of programs, state ment of purpose, mode of procedure be- fore plunging into all this blindly.
