"City Getting Nice FIeecing On Parking Meters "--Kingston
Aldermen, However, Vote Approval; Ratify Actions
 of Police Board

Installation of more parking meters went ahead with aldermanic ap- proval today, following passage by the. Board of Aldermen last night of the ordinance legalizing meters and of motion "ratifytng" the ac- ton of the Board of Police Com missioners in having the devices installed. The eight Democrats on the board, joined by Alderman c. Arthur DuBois, Republican, voted for the ordinance and the ratif1ca- ton motion, while six Republicans remained steadfastly opposed.
 'The city is getting a nice heec- ing on these meterS," charged A. derman George L. Kingston, Re- publican. "The Rhodes Go. has in- slalled these same Mark-Time meters in other cities for much lower prices than Waterbury is paying. We're paying more than $40 for some of them, but elsewhere they've been installed for $23.95."
 Before passage of the ordinance Alderman Kingston failed in a move to have it referred to a com- mittee of the whole for further study.
 The ordinance, whose passage a month ago was blocked by the G. O. P. alderman, was taken from the table on motion of Alderman Pa trick Shea, majority leader. Alder man Kingston then made his motion

greater conception the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike with out fear.
 Since the beginning of our American history we have been engaged in change-n a perpetual
 peaceful revolution-a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing con- ditions-without the concentration camp or the qu.ck-!ime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in friendly, civilized society.
 This nation has placed its deS- tiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women: and its faith in free dom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is in our unity of purpose.
 To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

constantly rising standard of liv. ing.
 These are the simple and basic things that must never be lost sight of in the turmoil and un- believable complexity of our mod ern world. The inner and abiding strength of our economic and po- itical systems is dependent upon the degree to which they fulfill these expectations.
 Social Program Improvement
 Many subjects connected with our social economy call for imme- date improvement.
 As examples:
 We should bring more citizens under the coverage of old age pen- stonS and unemployment inSur- ance.
 We should widen the opportu- mites for adequate medical care.
 We should plan better system by which persons deserving or needing gainful employment may obtain 1t.
 have called for personal sac- rif1ce. I am assured of the will- ingness of almost ai' Americans to respond to that call
 A part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. In my budget message I recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than We are paying today. No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in &C., cordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation.
 If the congress maintains these triotis1n ahead of pocketbooks, will principles, the voters, putting pa- give you their applause.
 Four Human Freedoms
 In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look for ward to world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
 The first is freedom of speech and expression-everywhere in the world.
 The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way-everyWhere in the world.
 The third is freedom from want which, translated into world terms, means economic under standings which will secure to every nation a healthy peace time life for its inhabitants-every- where in the world.
 The fourth is freedom from fear which, translated into world terms, means a worldwide reduc- tion of armaments to such point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in ---'- tion to commit an act of physical aggression against any neIgnoor- anywhere in the world.
 Not Mere Vision
 That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a. bomb.
 To that new order we oppose the

aments alone. Those who man cur defenseS, and those behind them who build our defenseS, must have the stamina and courage which come from an unShakeable belief in the manner of life which they are defending. The mighty action which we are calling for cannot be based on disregard of all things worth fighting for.
 The nation takes great satis- faction and much strength from the things which have been done to make its people conscious of their individual stake in the pres ervation of democratic life in America. Those things have toughened the fibre of our people, have renewed their faith and strengthened their devotion to the institutions we make ready to pro- tect.
 Certainly this is no time to stop thinking about the social and economic problems which are the root cause of the social revolution which is today a supreme factor in the world.
 Basis of Democracy
 There is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong Democracy. The basic things expected by our people of their political and economic sys- tems are simple. They are:
 Equality of opportunity for youth and others.
 Jobs for these who can work.
 Security for those who need it.
 The ending of special privilege for the few.
 The preservation of civil nber- ties for all.
 The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in g. wider and

 Alderman Shea at once moved for immediate passage of the ordi- nance. Alderman Kingston then made his charge of "heecing" be- suffered by the city.
 "I'd like to explain why I'm vot- ing as am," said Alderman Du- Bois." have found opposition whatever to the parking meters in any source. There have been efforts made through the press to build up an opposition but they fizzled"
 Referring then to Alderman Kingston's allegations, Alderman DuBois said: If any member of this board has information show ing that the city is paying too much for the meters he should refer it t othe proper authorities"
 T told you at the last meeting that the city was being overcharg- ed," retorted Alderman Kingston.
 Alderman Shea then moved that the aldermen ''ratify" all actions of the police board in contracting for meters Alderman DuBois said this step did not seem necessary but he joined the Democrats in voting for it and it was passed, 9-6.

Plenty of Weight

The World Calendar Association is nothing if not through in its campaign to bring about a reform in the calendar which most people observe and follow. This group has been by far the most steadfast and certainly the most logical of any that have sponsored such changes of recent years There have been from time to time individuals and groups an- xious to bring about some sort of uni formity in the calendar, but none has presented the understandable and work able one which the World Calendar As sociation has evolved.
 Incidentally there are now quite few nations ready to adopt the World Calen- dar, but it's more or less felt that if the United States would approve it, this would be sufficient to bring every other civilized nation in the world into line. Of course we don't believe that the associa- ton is taking the present world conflict into consideration, because if it were it might hesitate about proposing such changes without taking those war lords of Europe into their confidence.
 In its latest effort to win support the association shows the advantages of the proposed reform to industry, labor, gov- ernment, law, finance, retailing, agricul- 0S]S' SSASAACS, CNuSdVAO4lJ TUT CIlc 1lOIIle, and for religion. It sums up the situa- tion generally and specifically. It an- SWers questions and arguments. It does a most thorough job of providing convic- tion where it didn't exist before We're of the opinion that if the current war abates shortly this calendar reform move ment will be accepted and put into ef- feet by 1945, believed to be an ideal year for the start of the new calendar due to the fact that Dec. 31, 1944, falls on Sunday.

Held Together With Haywire

What holds the Axis together? Is it hope of loot? Is it sheer overawing of Italy and Japan by the superior force of Germany? Is it desperation born of thought of What if we lose?" Is it a vase mutual international inferiority complex? Maybe it's simpler than any of these. Maybe it's just haywire. Recent publicity efforts of the Axis powers sug- geSt that the strain of the past 10 years has been too much, and that the much vaunted ingenuity of Axis propaganda has exhausted itself and gone con- pletely haywire.
 If there is anything that Super-race and it's super-by- courtesy nangers-on must never do, it is to appear ridiculous. Yet if anything could be more ridicu- lous than some of the recent efforts of Signor Gayda and the pupils of Dr. Goeb- belS, it would be hard to find it. The Italian government controlled news papers are all sympathetic with the thought that the United States by it's conduct is risking war It is deeply con- cerned by the thought that American boys may be asked to continue military training for more than year For country which was pitchforked into war by single leader and without the ghost of a. reason, country whose every child is from the age of subjected to rigorous military training all of his life, such comments are so ridiculous as to result only in long horse-laugh.
 The crocodile tears of a Berlin paper, which charges that President Roosevelt is circumventing the rights of Congress, are equally ludicrous. It is hilarious for a country which threw it's own Congress completely out the window eight years teo to take this stand in relation to an Incident In which every American child ok q knows that the President has put the iisszssie suuarely up to Congress.

A Thought for Today
Drive Is Success

The success of the local drive to raise funds for the United Service Organiza- tionS is now established. Waterbury to- gether with the five other towns that were placed in the local zone all went over the top with resounding bang. The orig inal quota of $18,0OO was we'll over-sub- scribed. Even the later quota of $21 ,000 which the local committee itself estab- lished was surpassed. The total of $25,- 900 is one of which all of us can we'll be extremely proud.
 While the drive is over now some few weeks the final report of yesterday was more than satisfying for the hundreds of workers who put into this campaign so much enthusiasm and real earnest ef- fort Few drives in recent years in Wa terbury have commanded the attention of so large group of active workers as this one. The results more than show this The city has good reason to feel proud of itself

London May Buy Itself

No city, so far as we can recall, has ever gone out and bought itself Lon don is thinking of some such plan. Acres and acres of the very center of London have been leveled clear by the German bombing. Terrible though that is, it offers a unique opportunity t9r the re- building that will come after the war. British planners are determined that London shall not merely rise again as it was, but rise anew, a better and finer city. If old lines of streets and property ownership have been rendered meaning less by the bombing, why regard them in building the new London?
 So there has even been advanced a plan for the city to buy from it's present owners 673 acres of the heart of London, that the rebuilding may not be hampered by private claims and Instructions. Does it sound fantastic for city thus to "buy itself'? No doubt, but in the tremendous shakeups of war on the scale of war to- day, stranger things will happen.

New Jersey seems to be having lot of trouble getting race tracks established. It's more than year now since the Leg islature approved the race track bill which allows pari-mutuel betting at ap- proved tracks. The state racing commis- sion has been in existence and there have been applications for tracks at several points in the state. But to date no group has seemed to be able to meet the re- quirements of the law, particularly with regard to securing sufficient financial backing. So far as we can see it may be a long and involved process before New Jersey race track addicts get near mu- tuel window within their own boundar- ies. That's one of the penalties of trying to put into effect a new system which isn't meeting with general approval every where you go. Trying to keep religiously within the law provides obstacles that can't be surmounted in one leap.

Building National Muscle

The number of wage-earners in the United States today is higher than ever before in the country's history -51 ,647,- 900, according to the National Industrial Conference Board. Until this estimate it has been customary to think of the number of employed workers as roughly 45,000,O0O Fewer than 100000 remain unemployed, according to the same source, the lowest number since Septem- Der, 1880.
 Such figures are estimates; no one can say how nearly correct they are. They do suggest, however, that the na- tional muscles are being slowly flexed and that the biceps revealed are bigger and stronger than ever before. It was with rnan-hours of work that Hitler built his military machine; it is this steadily growing volume of American man-hours of work that gives the best hope of seeing him defeated

 While there will be a lot of noisy breact-beating ip the opposi- ton, you can write this down as certain:
 l. Congress will approve the re-
 tention of the National Guard
 and selectees in the army.
 2. The House will pass the $3,-
 500,000,0 900 defense tax bill in the form recommended by the
 Ways and Means committee. Under the restricted debate rules of the House, action on Army re- tention will take only a few days. The Senate melee will last longer. The acknowledgements bloc will take advantage of the issue to unleash wide-ranged blitz on the Presidents foreign policy. Central theme of this attack will be the charge that he is secretly leading However, while the senatorial antls will unlimber their heav- fest oratOrical guns, their attack will be largely a hitAand-run affair.

What a pathetic outfit those people are who believe that they can stone or beat or per- secute truth out of existence. Of course, they do not persecute it as truth, but as error. If. however, 1t is error God will see to it that it perishes and passes away. A mis- taken idea may hold up for a while. but eventually it disintegrates and disappears. If an idea is sound, sticks and stones will never drive 1t from the face of the earth: and If it is unsound. all the kings horses and all the kings men could not make 1t stand after people have had a chance properly to appTaise 1t.
 If the only argument you have against an Idea Is . brickbat. q curse, or 6 cynical remark, just keep it to yourself. Truth is not driven from the earth in any such
