Waterbury to Suffer

Waterbury may become the inno- cent sufferer in this legislative scrap now going on over the proposed refundlng bond issue for the City of Bridgeport. If so it will be an unfortunate occur renee It will be unfortunate in many ways. One will be, probably, legis- lative refusal for our own proposed bond ing program: Another might be bit terness between Waterbury and Bridge port which should not exist, certainly at this time And still another may be political repercussions which will burst in full fury the fall of 1922.
 The upshot of the tirade from Bridge port will be, we feel sure, that the bond issue will be approved, but perhaps not in the full amount sought. And then there will be a determined effort made to prevent such a thing as this ever oc- curing again. Gov. Robert A. Hurley will very likely seek to have the LeglS- lature place ban on issuing refund ing bonds whose primary purpose is to achieve tax reduction in a municipality or town. In this move he ought to have statewide support.
 This city of course, has legitimate claim in it's bond issue petition. It is not seeking SO saddle an unjust debt on future generations, as critics claim It is not embarking on an expensive, needless capital improvement campaign. If there is any plan better than the one the city fathers have advanced, it shouldn't be kept in the dark. We are in need Of the projects for which money is sought We regret that our program must be com- pared with that of Bridgeport; we do not agree with the theory that they are re- lated and one must suffer as the other.

pecially those with important industrial plants, should begin studying the prom lem. General master plans will be avail able soon, and the local community can adapt them to local conditions. At pres ent, air attack on the United States proper seems far-fetched and fantastic. So it seemed in Norway. There is nothing alarnist about this kind of preparation. It is simply means of carrying through all- out defense. Whatever happens, there is no longer any excuse for being caught flat-footed Especially on such purely defensive measures as are being prepared by means suggested above, we have the right and the duty to serve notice to the world that whatever happens, the United States is ready.

They're in the Army Now

Mobilization of the Connecticut units of the National Guard yesterday is a scene that this state has witnessed on numerous occasions before Each Suc- cessive mobilization, however, is much like the previous one. There is a gen. eral feeling of festivity which; however, soon gives way to sadness as everyone begins to realize just what may be the ultimate end of such a call to service. In this present instance no one is de- Sirous that our guardsmen may be sent off to war, but every one knows full well that if this is the inevitable these boys of ours will go forth as bravely as have their brothers and fathers and grandfathers before them.
 The departure of the more than 400 guardsmen next month will be the big gest migration of armed forces of re- cent date, although we are accustomed to seeing the boys go off to camp every summer But there is more serious tinge to this one And in addition our guardsnlen will be stationed in far-off Florida, many miles from home and loved ones We can only think on such an occasion as this that we are really and truly democratic people here in the United States: Let us continue to remain so at all times.

He knew that his nation was about to be carried off into captivity, but he believed also that the day would come when his people would return again to that land, and fields and vineyards would again be planted.
 This was the expression of Jere- miah's undying faith in the good- ness and power of God as he stood in world being shaken by the earthquake of war and social disso- lntion.
 It is great message to us to- day. All around us is revastation, and the dread of more revastation grows with the passing hours. This is time to have Jeremiah's faith and to look beyond the confusion of today to the certainty of a bet- ter world on some fair tomorrow. Because Jeremiah believed in God he believed that after Q period of discipline his people would return again to possess that land. He was certain that nothing was too hard for God. and he was confident also that God is not the God Of confu. sion but Of concord.
 He bought the field in Anathoth, therefore, against hte day when vineyards and fields would bo pos. semed in a land which "a that mo. ment was occupied by invading armies.

HIKES OR DISLTKES PLAY LITTLE PART IN TAKING
 SIDES IN A WAR

February 20, 1941. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Many people arrive at conclusions through their likes and dislikes.
 Nations do not so act as conquest, trade advantages and cash deter mines policy.
 Italy in the First World War joined the allies and in this one the axis powers.
 We all know the reason was not love affair. England in Civil War days threatened to break our block ade not because of likes and dis likes for North or South, but they needed cotton. It's immaterial whether we like or dislike England now. Our assistance prolongs the fight and every day it lasts over there is one days delay in its ar- rival over here. '''
 At this moment we are about as well prepared as was France a year ago. It's all right to hope and pray for peace, but don't neglect making airplane parts.

 He thoroughly agreed with Wendell Willkie in spiking isola- tionist claims that Britain would crack up, submit to a negotiated peace, and leave the U. s. A.. to hold the bag after voting "all- out aid.
 British morale, Hopkins report ed, is holding up admirably u1l- der the Nazi ar bombardments. This is especially true of the working classes. Labor unions are cooperating whole-heartedly with the government in combating the Hitler propaganda that Britain IS fighting an imperialistic war.
 Tremendously bolstering British morale have been recent successes in North Africa, the visit of Wen- dell Willkie, plus the prospect of the, lease-lend bilps passage.
 Hopkins also told Roosevelt that the British army was in ex- cellent fighting form and well equipped to stand of the Nazis when they attempt to cross the Channel.
 NEED MOSQUITO BOATS
 However, Hopkins got no re- quest from Winston Churchill that the U. s. send five to ten destroyers a month. What Church ill did request was the right to repair British destroyers and other naval craft in American dry docks. This has been one of Britain's most difficult problems, since all of her dry-docks are fairly easy targets for air raids, so that vessels needing repair ire quently have been bombed a sec ond time or even third time and have to be repaired all over again.
 Churchill also asked that the United States sell or lease mos quito boats" These are small, fast motor boats carrying torpedoes { and equipped to lay depth charges, which the United States has been building at the rate of about one a week for some time.

We have read very little of recent weeks about the ASCAP scrap with radio noguls, but this week we were agreeably surprised to find that there has been an apparent meeting ground found between the opposing groups. And the fight may be settled before radio listeners know 1t. Progress towards this happy ending IS being made rapidly, spokesmen for both sides say. If this were the remark of but one party we might fear for the worst, but when the two groups say they are solving their differences, then surely 1t can't be much longer before the air-waves will again re-echo to the songs many list eners have missed

Preparing for Home Defense

{ The United States is pretty well com nitted to the policy that the stronger our defense the better our chance of keep ing out of war, and the better the chance of winning it if we should be dragged in. Thus the various moves to strengthen the home front, the plans for defense of cities and industrial plants are all an element of national strength. Query: Would the British attitude at Munich have been any different if London had had at that time adequate afraid shel- ters, or even really adequite plans for their quick construction? It is possible. It is certainly idle to make vast mill tary, naval, and air preparations, and neglect home defense, which is static and could by no possibility be used offen- Sively. This end of the defense drive is not being entirely neglected. Observe these things:
 The War Department has long been studying the problem, and has ere ated a Neurological Civil Protection Committee to create master plans on which local communities can model their defense measures and plans. Sev- eral engineering and scientific sO- cieties have joined in this and similar work.
 The Army has sent to London mem- Der of it's Civil Defense Committee, and Surgeon General Parran has joined him, along with whole group of social and health experts, to study these problems on the ground.
 The National Academy of Sciences has set up a committee to work to the same end.
 The U. S. Conference of Mayors re- centIy urged development of home de- fense plans, and received reports of Canadian measures.
 Milo J. Warner, national commander of the American Legion and Frank boiler, former commander, are both in England studying problems incident to home defense, especially against air attack.
 Boston is already training 1000 vol unteer firemen, and many alert fire departments are studying plans for this and ether measures for fighting bomb set fires in the London manner.
 Navy yards are installing spider web" electric power systems which can not be put out of commission by a single blow at any one point, either by sabotage or bombing.
 Builders i'm some New Jersey suburbs are building bomb-prOOf sub-cellars in new homes and architectural students at Pratt Institute are designing con- crete shelters.
 Homer Saint -Gaudens artist and World War veteran, Is attacking cam oufIage problems incident to large in- dustriaI plants and coast defenses.

Roseland. N. J. February 9. 1441

Roseland, N. J.
 February 2, 1941 Editor of the Democrat:
 The ultimate purpose of the New Order of Hitlerism is the destruc- tion of the capitalistic system, overthrow of democracies and the enslavement of free people.
 And remember, we Americans are free people and we live in dem ocracy and we operate under the capitalistic system, SO it is logical to assume we are in direct fine as NEXT should the British be de- feated.
 Therefore, in the name of common cense and our own security, and all we hold dear and sacred, let us be prudent and give all-out aid to free people fighting for their existence, to the end that liberty, justice, freedom of thought, speech and press shall not perish from the earth.

We're much interested in the plans of Dr. Albert N Jorgensen, president of the University of Connecticut, to secure legislative aid this spring. For years now our state college Gt's university now) has been endeavoring to secure sufficient funds to enable it to, live up to it's present standards Two. years ago the Legislature came through and of course the university did share in the $25,OOO,OO0 state bond issue of several years ago. But these sums merely en- abled the school to fill in the more press ing needs and development at Storrs is still somewhat curtailed But gradu- ally there is being built up over there a mighty fine institution, one of which the state can well be proud. We hope that President Jorgenson will meet with success at the hands of the legislators this spring, for we know that whatever he may ask for is certainly needed.

It didn't seem to us that Mayor Jas per McLeyy adopted the right tactics in lasting Senator Michael V. Blansfield of this city for the manner in which he conducted a recent legislative commit tee hearing at which Bridgeport bond bills were; discussed While this is Senator Blansfield's first term in the Legislature he is no stranger to the pro- cedure that takes place at such hear ings and certainly his legal and entire professional training is such as to make one believe that he would do thor oughly creditable job in conducting a hearing before the Senate Finance Com mittee. Time may show that the Bridge port mayor was nasty in his judg- ment.

 e. How long can oil or grease be kept in garage, in open contain. CTS, before becoming rancid, or los. ing its lubricating qualities?
 A. No definite answer to. thia question can be given. Different lubricating oils and greases would vary in their ability to resist change under a given set of storage condi- 'tions. Also the extent of the change which could be tolerated would de- pend upon the initial suitability of the material and the requirements of the service for which it is inc tended. However, if stored in cover< ed, unsealed containers, ltbricat- ing oil or grease may remain in suitable condition for several months up to year or more. If the containers are uncovered, cotltarn- nation with dust and trash may render the material unfit for use in a very short time.
