Shall Soldiers Lose Their Votes?

Governor Lehman of New York is talk ing the lead in presenting to his state leg islature the problem of the soldier voter. For many years, perhaps, hundreds of thousands of Americans will be in military service at election time. We need to revise our old views of soldier voting in view of new conditions. Time was, with a small professional ramy, that it mattered little whether soldiers voted or not. But with peoples armies raised on today's scale, Governor Lehman is right when he re- minds the legislature of his state that 'it is important that their right to vote be preserved" The New York low is deficient in this respect, and Governor Lehman wants the matter remedied.
 Every state has different laws on the subject of soldier voting, and every one ought to re-examine those laws. The guiding principle is written in marble on the Apphitheater in Arlington Ma Eional Cemetery at Washington: "When we assumed the soldier we did not lay aside the citizen"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-28

The perennial horse-racing bill made it's appearance in the Legislature last week There wasn't much fanfare to this introduction, though. No one seems to know just what attitude both the major political parties or Gov. Robert A. Hurley will adopt towards such proposed legisla- ton this year. Two years ago short shrift was made of similar efforts. Not since 1887 has there been any organized effort behind the movement to legalize betting on horse races in Connecticut. In that year, but for the want of one sigma ture, pari-mutuel betting would now be legalized here. That signature was Will bur L. Cross. He wouldn't sign the bill passed in both legislative branches. With national defense the key-word of Gov. Hurley's administration we don't know if he'll have much time for horse-race bills and probably will tell the legislators to adopt the same attitude.

Discuss It Now

City officials are considering ways and means of making capital improvements ir. Waterbury. The cost is so great, though, that to insure speedy accom- plishment a huge bonding program IS proposed. There are several good reasons why such a plan is worthy of adoption If given the complete approval of those officials on whom falls the reSponSlbll- lty. No doubt many citizens can ad- vance reasons why they think such program should not be attempted now or at any future date. If so, let's have the arguments now, for and against.
 On the score of capital improvements there certainly can be no just complaint. If anything we think the program falls short of some expectations. For example, where is the proposed sewage disposal plant? We suppose it is such costly project in itself that it probably would dwarf all the ones that are mentioned in the plan for civic improvements. But even so it takes rank among the most important of the jobs the city really has to finish. We are very much afraid that if Waterbury doesn't actually do something on the disposal plant, the State Water Commission will take the necessary steps to compel us to do so.
 Other big jobs must naturally be headed by the completion of the second pipeline from our reservoir system Ill the Morris hills. One antiquated pipe is not enough to guarantee an unfailing water supply for the rest of our lives and those of our sons and grandsons. Other than that don't forget that this second pipe line should insure efficient service to all sections of the city, some thing we don't get now, but which is too often overlooked by those who never have experienced the discomforts of low pressure service.
 There should be some serious study of the proposed method of bonding, for this is something that does not merely concern the Democratic or Republican parties, but each and every one of us. Now is the time to voice praise or critl- cism, constructive and otherwise. With out 1t no comprehensive program of capi- tai improvements could hope to escape the label of politics.

Winter Driving

Rules of winter driving are just about the same as those for the summer time, but at no time of the year must greater caution be exercised than right now. There are a number of reasons why mo- torist has to be more cautious now than six months hence. One of these is cer- tainly the fact that the period of daylight is considerably less than it will be in June, July, and August. Dusk falls quickly and early at this season of the year; car lights are more in use.
 Highways and streets are never in as good condition in mid-winter as they are in late spring and summer If there isn't snow in the roadway, there may be ice, It's just as easy to brake your car in winter as in summer, but the chances are that the car won't come to stop in as short a space of time and distance. Skidding on slick pavements is apt to oc- cur. And studies also reveal that our eli mate produces more fog in winter than ln summer All of these climatic conditions impose penalties on every driver.
 Tn addition to having a car that is mechanically sound, the driver must be alert to actual road conditions. He must know what to do immediately when his car goes into a skid or slides forward down an incline. Frequent checking of tires, brakes, windshield cleaning equip ment, lights, heaters, and defroSters aid greatly in helping overcome the handl- caps that nature imposes on your New England winter driver.

The humble home-owner who gets a bit tired some times with radio re- ception or the programs he tunes in nightly probably won't be surprised If you tell him that there are now 881 broadcasting stations in the United States and 87 in Canada. And if there are that many there certainly must be all of the 50, 100000 sets that radio trade 3OO,OOO American homes. All of which shows quite clearly that radio is big time industry one whose ramifications have not yet been clearly marked out. Radio may spread for many years to come. It certainly looks as if it would surpass all business records in time.

Better American. Coming Up


 Not long ago Professor Merriam of the University of Chicago raised considerable speculation by series of lectures in which he said we are just entering period when life and people are going to be consciously improved by scientific means not available before To small extent these tech niqueS are already being practiced; enough to suggest their future course and effectiveness. An annual report" on the nations children by Parents Magazine indicates what is already be- ing done, in reports by Katherine F. Lenroot, chief of the U. s. Children'S Bureau and by Surgeon General Parran.
 Miss Lenroot reports: The baby death rate has dropped 20 per cent in the five years from 1884 to 1889, but 50,OOO babies still die each year between the second and twelfth month of their lives; 10000 before they are month old. The material death rate dropped 32 per cent between 1884 and 1889, yet nearly 10000 maternal deaths were registered in 1888, at least half of them preventable. Such things show how much has been done, how much remains to do. Improvements in both are attributed by Miss Lenroot to maternal and child-health services in states and counties.
 Dr. Parran joins in the hopeful pre- view of the future. "We have new gen. eration of children" he writes, who are both taller and heavier than their par ents; whose chances of going through the first years of life without attack by the communicable diseases of childhood are greater; whose general health care is far superior to that of a generation ago. Scientific discoveries (and their application) did it. Improved city Sani- tation and milk supplies; prevention of certain diseases; new knowledge of nu- triton, have largely come into effect within one generation. The word vita min came into the language in 1911. The cause and cure of pellagra was an- nounced 24 years ago. The same for rickets, IS years ago. NutritiQnal science is even today in it's mere infancy.
 National defense means that in 1941 additional attention will be devoted to the health of youth, military and indus trial. Mass production of yellow fever vaccine, for instance, means likely Secur- ity against exposure to yellow fever areas as defense zones move south. "NeW horizons are ahead of us in the attain ment of national health" Dr. Parran be- lieveS. New horizons are ahead of us III every field, and the builders of better health are only one group among builders who must address themselves to the task of building better world.

In Today's Mail

gun, tank, plane or ship will ever leave our beloved land, because there is no such thing as democ- racy in Europe or Asia. Surely the government of MetaxaS in Greece cannot be called demo- cratic. Metaxas is an avowed dic- tator, and has been for years. Then, if China is democracy it must have through a recent trans formation, because at the time of this writing, she certainly was not. Now, for good old Britain. If there is anyone with information to the effect that Britain is a democracy, they would do well to inform the native slaves of India, for THEY do not seem to be convinced.
 This is not move on my part to condone the actions of the Axis powers, but a condemnation of all false propaganda to the ef- feet that this is war for free dom, for democracy, or holy war whether they are the utteranceS of a president seeking dictatorial powers while pointing the accus- ing finger at foreign parties, or others, with selfish interests at heart.
 The war in Europe today, is a war between two imperialistic powers whose interests are of conflicting nature because Bri- tain and Germany cannot both be rulers of Europe and Africa. One must give way to the other. There is not enough difference between the aims of the two con-
 f1icting powers to justify the sac rificing of a single American life. Aid on our part to either of the conflicting parties can only serve to prolong the war, with the re- suit that more lives will be sacri- feed to the Gods of War, more famine and suffering altogether for the common people who must fight because few in power can- not agree as to where boundaries should lie or what economic sys- tenn should prevail.
 An America with strong defense
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-28

ISSOI u Ou was pretty broad, and it is just beginning to occur to people that Wheeler isn't necessarily limited to examining pos- sible German controls.
 If he chose, for instance, he could direct the inquiry at the question of British controls-not just patent agreements with British manufac- turers or sales and price restrictions on any aid to Britain, but prac- tically anything that affected, U. s. production for U. s. Defense. And the thought of determined isolat- ioniSt like Senator Wheeler, who is one of the ablest investigators in the Senate, getting turned loose in that field is enough to make any administration man quail.
 There's no very good way to head Wheeler, of, either. Money for the investigation could be withheld, but he could go ahead without money if the had to. Probably the only chance lies in a bill introduced by Senator Pepper calling for special board to control patents which affect the national defense If extensive hear ings could be arranged on that bill, the German controls which await Wheeler's investigation might be tired enough to steal some of Wheeler'S thunder.

 One of the most significant fea- lures of the hot controversy over the supply of aluminium is the fact that the figures cited by Defense Commissioner Edward R. Stettinius to prove there is no shortage were supplied him by none other than the Aluminium Corporation of America, which has a monopoly of the industry.
 In fact, Alcoa is also provid- ing StettiniuS with the estimates of aluminium requirements for the defense program. In other words, when Stettinius issued his recent denial of an aluminium shortage, he was merely echoing what AL coa officials told him.
