1000, 900 apiece to buy 1t, at the govern ment's behest. It is fine example of cooperation between the government and private agencies. The government saw a public need for reserve stock of this necessary drug. The private companies went out and bought 1t. And the govern ment stores 1t for such use, public or private, as may be found necessary for the public good. .''
 Eight million ounces of quinine have been added to reserve stocks against some emergency which might interfere with normal supply. This phase of prepared ness is by no means complete. Similar cooperative measures are being taken to reestablish the cultivation in South Amer ica of cinchona bark. It is native there, but, like rubber, its commercial produc- tion passed to the Dutch East Indies, which might be cut off. Government researchers are also busy on possible sub- stitutes. Digitalis, mahuang, belladona, cascara, ipecac, pyrethum and rothenone, are other examples-new sources are be- ing sought. A Jewish refugee colony in Santo Domingo is developing the castor bean, and may provide Western Hemis- phere source for castor oil. Prepared ness in the supply of vitally necessary drugs is a fine example of what can be done by cooperation of government and private enterprise, given understanding and goodwill on both sides.

Cave Men of 1o41

Back in the dim past, people who study these things tell us, primitive men lived in caves. Unable to build habitations above ground which would be safe from wild beasts, they chose natural caves as their homes, and lived in them as the beasts
 Untold thousands of years have passed, and today the people of one of the most progressive countries in the world are forced to live in a manner that is all too much like that. Stories from England, horrible stories, tell of children in pro- vincial cities who have not emerged from their afraid shelters in month; one shelter was found in which aged and in- firm people have remained for four months. Write that odWn, too, histor- ians of mankind, when you come to tell later generations about 1941!

A Great Water System

When Waterbury completes its third reservoir up in the Morris hills and links this additional water supply to the city by new pipe line, this city will be one of the most fortunate in the country We will have not only plentiful supply of water for this community for years to come, but we will also have supply of water that is extremely potable, in other words that is good for human consumption and use without lot or artificial factoring before 1t can flow through household pipes. In this respect we are blessed.
 As a consequence of developing just such plentiful supply it would seem to be incumbent upon the city fathers to make sure that sufficient water is avail able to every household in the city We should be prepared and willing to sell water to the city taxpayers no matter where or how they live. That involves considerable expense, but after all when you build up water system like that to- wards which we are moving it should be for all no one should be excluded or be forced to depend upon well water because of the distance to the nearest water line.
 That may not seem to be applicable to many residents in Waterbury, but 1t might surprise a good many people to learn how many sections there are which haven't yet got city water or get It in in- sufficient quantities. And Waterbury is going to continue to spread out its resi- dential districts for many years to come. It has been said that the new pipe line will make 1t possible for this city to sell water to WatertoWn, Oakville, and per- raaps other communities. Before this is done the Waterbury taxpayers have first claim on the bountiful supply we now ar,- ticipate.

BRASS HIGHWAY NO. ONE

 John A. Carmody, administrator of the Federal Works Agency, esti- mates that defense industries now engaged on vital contracts for the United States Army and Navy are in immediate need of 4.000 miles of new. highways costing 230 million dollars. This message from Admin istrator Carnlody was delivered to the 3Sth annual convention of the American Road Builders. associa- tion at New York city.
 MT. Carmody's message told the delegates that the 4,000 miles of highways constituted priority No. One in the defense road program" ;"
 The construction of roads and streets within and approaching IFS military camps. air fields and in- dustrial sites would be involved in this program. The bettering of ex- isting roads to meet expanding in. dustriai needs Is another part of the feature.
 Here in our own state we would respectfully call the attention of Governor Hurley and the Legigla- ture to the fact that one of the most important industrial roads in Connecticut, - the highway which connects the Naugatuck Valley with the waterfront at Bridgeport is also

 John Biggers, potent Toledo glass manufacturer now drawing q Q year with the National De- fense Commission, Is getting the reputation in political circles of aspiring to the role once held by Waiter "Higy-RaC" Brown, Hooy. CTS postmaster general, also from Toledo.
 Biggers, Q Republican, not only is playing an important role in the Defense Commission twhere he is frequently at odds with the New 'peaD, but more recently has dipped one hand into Democratic politics. His latest move is to push the appointment of an old friend, Frazier Reams of Toledo, a Democrat. for appointment as Collector of Internal Revenue In northwest Ohio.
 Reams' appointment Is being vigorously opposed by New Deal Democrats on the ground that he was anti-Roosevelt in the last campaign tthough he worked for Roosevelt in i9S6), also just be- cause he has the backing of Re- publican Biggics. They point out that if Reams gets the powerful job of Collector of Internal Rev. lenue, an afitl-New Dealer will then have a near monopoly on important political posts in the Toledo area.
 For Reams' law partner already ( has been made @ United States Commissioner, while his law of- flee handles a large part of the legal work for the Home owners 2 Loan Corporation and other fed- oral agencies in this part of Ohio. Finally, Rearns himself has been given an important radio license and Is owner of radio station.
 The Treasury Department is known to favor the appointment of Ralph Snyder, a former editor and writer with Tho Toledo Blade and News-Bee, for, 'the Internal Revenue post. Therefore, all eyes are watching the appointment to see whether Republican Biggers or the New Dealers win out in this test. ,. ... , Copyright, l94l, by United & Feature Syndicate, 1nc)

Selected Poem
THE HENS COME OUT

Dolores Cairns in the Christian sceince Monitor) So long have they been shut in The outdoors is an alien world; Crowded at the henhouse door, they crane and peer
 this way and that; A few emerge to start and chitter in alarmed won-
 der at leftover patches of snow, And blowing straws Scornfu of their timidity the rooster pushes among
 them and struts pompousy, Pretending to be astonished at nothing; When sudden gust of wind sweeps around the
 corner, Swshing his tail-feathers sideways and nearly
 upsetting him, He only lifts his feet a little higher, And refuses to be hurried. Soon the hens feel at home ill the warm sunlight; They ruffe out their feathers; They stroll about quaverng little songs of content-
 ment; Here and there one turns an eye upward, studying
 the clouds And utterng cryptic remarks Doubtless wise comments on the weather and the
 backwardness of spring: Others are blissfuly happy, having discovered fa-
 miar lower-beds To scratch in.

 1t is a commonplace among those well acquainted with the details of the Connecticut economy that this state is in a relatively stronger po- sition than most of its united breth-. ren because its industries are di- versified and primarily those re- quiring special skills. In general there are no great mass production industries which are dangerously susceptible to the ups and downs of the economic cycle; and there are few businesses which employ large groups of unskilled workers. What that means is that employment in Connecticut is more stable and that workers are on tho average better paid than in other states.
 The national wage analysis re- gently completed by the Federal Bureau of Foreign and Domestic commerce translates the above into practical terms. The figures are for i9Se, which provides a fairly sound basis for comparisons under nor nal" conditions; the defense eiIi- ergency with its tremendous expen. ditures had not yet thrown the or- dinary relationships between the staees out of previous alignment.
 During that year the average inc dustrial employe in the country as whole, received LISP in New Eng lang Si.077-and in Connecticut ST. ie7. Even more significant, perhaps. are the percentages of the value of the products which went into wages.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-21

Connecticut can never boast of the long, est bridges in the country or on this con- tinent because the water courses over which we might build spans are extreme ly narrow to say the least, but the new bridge over the Connecticut River at Hartford is going to have the longest girder span in the western hemisphere. Highway Commissioner William J. Cox describing the proposed new structure at the recent meeting of the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers said that the girder spans of 270,300, and 270 feet would be the longest that he knows of in this country. He also expressed the opin- ion that the bridge would be opened to traffic in 1942. If that's the case the connecting highways on both sides of this bridge had better be ready, too And by this we mean that the Wilbur L. Cross Parkway will need to be rushed along without any delay.

Treasure in the Treasury

Deep down in the vaults beneath the Treasury in Washington there is grilled, well-sealed door. From behind that door comes pungent odor of decaying vege- tation - not at all the kind of smell one expects in dry vault dedicated to pre- serving gold and silver bars, or crisp crinkling new currency. In heavy pack ing cases lining one wall of the shelf lined vault is 500,000 pounds of the best raw Macedonian opium. That means three years supply of one of the most i'm portant strategic raw materials.
 Why the Treasury vault? Simply be- cause opium is very likely to get away if stored in private warehouses. The pres sure for obtaining it is so great that it might slip through private hands, how ever closely guarded. But in public hands, in the Treasury's own vaults, it will be there when needed Yet this priceless supply was secured by private dealers. Several drug companies put up
