An Industry At Hand

We read much these days of the milk industry in Connecticut. A satisfactory milk control act has never been put into effect here. We have one on the books right now, but 1t has only resulted in constant pickering Governor Robert A. Hurley has proposed fixed price level for the producers with the dealers conl- peting in an open market The Legisla- ture decided even this needed some tinker ing, so it has its own version at hand, which the governor accepts, but all con- cerned parties fail to agree upon. All of which is simply by way of showing that despite it's importance as an industry milk is hard to regulate.
 It shouldn't be, though, foN its one industry in which Connecticut has rap idly forged to the front of recent years. We were never regarded as much of dairy state half century ago or even at the turn of this gentry. But we are now and Connecticut herds are ever on the increase. Which makes one wonder If a milk by-product, cheese, could not be made a Connecticut main product. It does seem as if the market is open now to the domestic cheeses. Connecticut milk producers might well consider ven turing into market that has great potentialities.
 One of the reasons for this wide-open market right now is the failure of foreign cheeses to glut the markets as in former days. The war has clamped down on cheese imports; 1t may go even further and destroy age old industries in which the familiar names of SwisS Limburger, Erie, Roquefort, Parmesan, Gorgonzola, Edam, Bleu, Camembert, and others pre- dominate. Only recently Germans ir- vaded the champagne regions of France and plowed under the priceless vines on which cluster the grapes from which is pressed the wines that are made to ef- fervesce. It well may be that Europe's cheese industries will also undergo ex- tinction. We hope not, but ...
 New York and Wisconsin are note worthy in American cheese-making cir cleS. They are ranking states in dairy products. Tiny Connecticut has no req son to doubt that she couldn't do the same. Here is an avenue that may need some exploring by a hardy adventurer.

Housing In Waterbury

Many agencies and individuals in Wa terbury are concerned over housing con- ditions here. They are endeavoring to have the city commit itself officially to policy, perhaps program, of rehabili- tation that probably would include ellm- ination of many dwelling units now being used and substitution therefor of what are regarded today as more suitable liv- ing quarters. We went through a period of such demands few years back when there was a well-defined effort made to have low-cost housing project launched here. It's probably just as we'll that the city failed to put through this plan judg- ing by experiences other cities have had, although this, of course, isn't true every where.
 It's very easy matter to say that there are slum areas in Waterbury, but it's another matter to prove such a claim After all there is difference between what constitutes real Slum and what might be considered inadequate quarters. There are inadequate quarters in Waterbury just as there always have been. And people have been forced to get along with them. But there are cer- tain features of all the modern housing movements that catch public fancy. Be- hind them are concealed other things such as a desire to experiment perhaps with human nature by giving it new environment.
 There probably isn't any one person in Waterbury who wants to deny the latest and most modern facilities in home life to our citizens And with working condi- tions so good right now it seems like an opportune time to make any necessary changes in modes of existence. The change being made now, what could oc- cur several years from now if this bubble of prosperity broke and Waterbury, like, many other communities, suffered an industrial depression? It's well to i'm prove the lot of our fellowman, but when we undertake this humanitarian effort we want to make sure that we can carry on indefinitely.

It's the same old story! In Massachu- setts Democratic congressmen are up in arms over proposed redistricting plan. They claim that if the plan now under consideration is adopted in the General Assembly four Democrats will lose their seats in Congress. One of the proposed new districts would include the towns from which now come three of the pres ent congressman. One of the critics called it "diabolical plot" That's just another way of saying "ger1rymander" which is the political expression for de- scribing any redistricting plan that pro- duces distinct advantage to some one political group through regulation of the lines. Nothing is harder to produce than a generally satisfactory redistricting scheme. No matter how fair 1t may seem to the man who draws it up it's bound to produce feeling of resentment elsewhere We don't think any redis- tricting plan ever was worked out that pleased all concerned. If it did, 1t was a marvellous piece of engineering.

The many forest fires now occurring throughout the state have brought to light an old statute that had to be in- voked. Over near Stafford Springs a couple of men were asked to aid forest fire fighters, but refused to do so. The Fire Warden obtained warrants for their arrest and they were fined when pre- sented in court. There is a state law that obliges any male between the ages of 18 and 50 to answer call for help in fighting forest fires. Of course there would be exemptions and no warden would call on an unfit person to aid. But any able person can't escape such call if 1t is made. Wardens make them only in dire necessity. ....

Press Comment
SHERWOOD ISLAND
Bridgeport Telegram)

Passage of the Sherwood Island bill by both houses of the Legisla- ture assures an appropriation to complete the purchase of short- front property necessary to round out the state park holding on the Island and make a usable beach which will give pleasure every year to countless thousands of Connec- ticut residents.
 This is a long way from saying that the park will be complete, however. The purchase of the de- sired beach frontage to supplement the present state holdings is only part of the problem. There must be physical development of the park with appropriate buildings, roads and the like. At first the accommo- dations will be somewhat primitive but even. with 6 minimum of such accommodations the beach itself will be a great attraction.
 It is to be hoped that the present session of the Legislature will also pass the bill which would empower the state highway commissioner to build a suitable road connecting Sherwood Island park with the Bos- ton Post road. The further devel- opment of the park for wide-scale public use and the building and planning of this road ought to take place simultaneously so that there will not be lag on either side. There would be little purpose in building the road if the park were not to be developed. On the other hand there may be serious trafilc bottleneck if the park is developed and the road not constructed.
 The town roads of Westport were not planned to carry the trafiic which will flow to and from Sher- wood Island in the summer when the park is fully developed and 1t would be an imposition on the townspeople of Westport to subject them to this trafic. Fortunately, land is available for @ special road which will solve all problems and keep the island trafiic away from the huit-up residential portion of Westport, at the same time elimi- hating dangerous traffic hazards at the intersection of the Post road and other important highways.
 The state of Connecticut has had a large investment in Sherwood Is- land for nearly quarter of cen- tury without any adequate return in the way of public recreation and enjoyment, merely because at no

The Wyoming Is the oldest bat tleship in the Navy, and came near being scrapped at the Lon- don Naval Conference in 1880. However, the Japanese wanted to keep one of their old battleships as training ship, so the United sStates countered that 1t would keep the wyoming. Otherwise she would be scrap iron today-and probably sold to Japan. As a training ship, her big guns were removed, but the Wyoming still can serve as an effective airplane carrier especially in the North Atlantic.
 Another development Is the plan to take over the French luxury liner Norlnandie as another afr craft carrier. Incidentally, the Normandie will be used not by the U. s. Navy, but will be under Henry Morgenthau as part of the Coast Guard. It will be the big gest vessed used by any Coast Guard in world history.
 The Nor1nandie was secretly de- signed by the French for con- version into an aircraft carrier. A huge sports desk was built 50 that 1t could be quickly changed into an airplane landing deck. Two elevators were even installed at each end of the ship for the hoist- ing of planes. NAZI SUBMARINE TACTICS
 The use of airplanes in spotting submarines in the North Atlan- tic was worked out partly as a re- suit of Nazi tactics in locating British vessels. For some time the Nazis have used airplanes to spot British conveys, then radioed their location to nearby submarines, usually lying in nests of three or four, awaiting signals.
 When the submarines attack, one usually acts as a decoy and draws the British warships off to one side, while other Nazl subs drive in for the kill. That, plus the fact that 20 or 90 merchant vessels now travel in convoy train, Is one reason why ship

keep their eyes too far ahead. These are the dreamers. Sometimes they make considerable discoveries and call the attention of their fellows to noble objectives which were out so far on the horizon that the work-a-day type of folk never saw them. But most people err not by looking too far ahead, but by not looking far enough chead. We drive machine best when we are acute ly conscious of what is close at hand but not entirely unprepared to meet different conditions Q few hundred yards ahead.
 The far look in business, in the raising of children, and especially in things having to do with the en- richment of character, is a mighty important factor. Don't spend so much time thinking about how you are going that you forget where you are going If life has become a bit drab, raise your eyes a little and look farther down the road. If you do, you'll drive both along the high ways of your state and the high- ways of life with more assurance and considerably more satisfaction. (All Rights Reserved Babson Newspaper Syndicate.)

Canadian government protested, exchanged a long series of notes with the State Department, and in the end the sinking of the ves- sel was submitted to international arbitration. Supreme Court Jus tice Van Devanter was the ar- bitter for the United States, and joined with the Canadian jurist in finding that the Coast Guard had exceeded Its authority in chasing the "l'm Alone" beyond one hours cruising distance from shore.
 So Canada got @ monetary award, and the ships captain got damages, despite the fact that the "I'm Alone" was found to have been owned by American, not Canadian, bootleggers.
