Why a Waterbury Congressman?

Occasionally Waterbury Democrats get the impression that throughout the towns of the Fifth Congressional District there is not unanimity of opinion on giving the Democratic nomination for RepreSen- , tative to Brass City resident. There has been talk from down the Naugatuck Valley and from the Litchfeld County end of the district that they are entitled to consideration even when the nomination is more or less conjecture, as it appears to be right now. In way such view point is right; Waterbury has no peculiar claim on the office.
 But there are a number of other fac" tors to be considered and we mention q few of them now. For years the Fifth District, like most of the others in this state, was strongly Republican. Once in while a Democratic candidate would chance on favorable times like the late William Kennedy in the Wilson election of 1912 But up until very few years cgo this district was Republican, though Judge P. B. O'Sullivan enjoyed one term back in 1923 and 1924, interrupting a long period of service by the late James P. Glynn of Winsted.
 Edward w. GosS, Republican, picked up afser Mr. Glynns death and Judge J. Joseph Smith Democrat continued the Waterbury domination of the district. However, this is but brief period of time aS compared to the years that the nomina- tion and the election went elsewhere. So il Waterbury now seems to be exercising too much control In the district it's more CT less the law of averages catching up, plus a little political perspective on the part of leaders,
 The bulk of the vote in the district is eentered in the Naugatuck Valley and the center of the valley is Waterbury. To control this vote it's almost absolutely necessary to offer candidate of district appeal to the most voters. Democratic leaders have been practical enough in congressional elections in the district to concentrate on getting the most votes where there are the most. In special election this is particularly necessary for a Democratic victory.

away Bibles if they can possibly sell them, although 1t actually costs more to sell them than 1t would to give them away. If people can get copies of the Bible for nothing, the chances are that they will not read them. Those who put anything into an enterprise can be depended upon to try to get something out of 1t, This agency pays people to go a. round and sell Bibles when, as a matter of fact, they could save money every year if they hired distributors to give away the same number of Bibles.
 It is hard to be firm with chil- dren and make them realize that they must pay their way through life. one of the basic rules of living Is that everything has a price mark upon t. There Is a way in which Gods great gifts are all given, and there as another way in which they are al sold. Nature sees to it that we pay for what we get. and every time we pay, we grow.

There won't be any new Christmas cards in Great Britain this year. The Ministry of Supply has banned their use because of dwindling supplies of paper, Calendars, programs, and other things of this nature are also being sharply curtailed. In an emergency like this with Englishmen probbaly wanting more than ever to keep cheerful it might not be a bad idea for Britons to exchange their old Christmas cards You'll find a stack of them saved in every house here in America and if the English haven't enough old cards to go around, why we'll be glad to send them ones that have already brought cheer and comfort

A Pledge to Labor?

In America in the present national emergency there is an undoubted wave of anger aroused every time strike is called or threatened in the defense in- dustries. The mass of the people feel that now is no time for this sort of thing when everybody is being asked to make sacrifices of some kind. Labor is afraid that, under the guise of national ener- asncv, there. may be some reactipnaries who might seek 10 take away what 1t has eaed, to strip it of some of it's protec-

Hartman, e large shareholder in the Union Pacific and Illinois Central railroads, and Western Union, represents the acme Of the capitalist system which Stalin has fought all his life. In addition, Hartman had e personal row with Soviet Russia several yearSr ago during which they euchred him out of c valuable manganese con- cession.
 But despite oil this, Harriman's eyes almost glow today when he talks of Stalin. He calls him q great guy", tells how tough and forseeing he is, has unbounded confidence in Stalins' leadership, and Is convinced Russia VIII hold out.
 Harrlman's friends smile Q bit ct this, wonder if Avereli Isn't too emotional, or they figure he was shown too much Russian hospitality and not enough grim reality at the front.
 However, another man who came back glowing about Russia
 Is William l.. Bait, big Philadels
 phla manufacturers who makes
 SKF ball-beaFings and is a de
 rector of various other big busl-
 ness enterprises. Bait can't say enough good about Russian nor.
 ale and resistance In general.
 It Is true, of course, that most of the Hartman mission did not get around Russia very much. However, one man who did is General James Burns, a hard- boiled army officer, who went from Moscow south through the Cau- casus, down through Iran and back home via Egypt and Africa. Burns saw plenty and seems to be just as strong for the Rus sians as Hartman and Bait. RUSSIAN TRANSFORMATION
 one of the things which irn- pressed him was the manner in which the Russians were saving their industrial materials in the face of the Nazi advance. Fleets of trucks plus hundreds of rail- road cars brought from the Trans-Siberian, were loaded up with machinery. Almost whole factories were transported from the line of advance trucks were

 It is brighter in the shade of the trees than above them, now. The gold of their leaves glows curiously in the graying evening half-hght. Some trees are already bare. But others keep their Midas-touched togas wrapped around their shoul- ders against the coolin gnights. As foliage vanishes, many natural boundary disappears. Lawns run into lawns. Houses gather closer to- gether, their windows aglow with mutual sympathy of early lamp light.
 This is a good season. It promises are not the beguiling ones of spring, nor the reassuring ones of bounteous field and tree has been counted and measured. The rains are cold. But summer. Harvest is past. Fruit of the smell of wood smoke in the air. the brightness of shop windows lighted now at five o'clock, people carrying parcels shaped like supper. men coming up over the station bridge as the little train pulls away across the shadowy fields-yes. 1t Is a good season.
 There is a cool, clear soberness about 1t that makes mundane things like putting on the storm windows, or the price of potatoes, flt costly into a pleasant pattern of quiet, serious, everyday duties.
