Judge Cornell Offciates at Session of Naturaliza.
 ton Court Here

At yesterdays naturalization ses- sion conducted in superior court by Judge John A. Cornell, 215 aliens were admitted to the full rights of citizenship, and repatriation grant, ed to 25 American women who had lost these rights through marriage to foreigners.
 Tn spite of what seemed to be a simmer crowd than customarily gathers at these occasions, the oath was administered to as many as at most times during the past hree years. The relatively small number of applicants present was attribut- ed to the feat that under the new law petitioners are not required to have witnesses appear for them at final examinations. Applications of three candidates were dismissed and a fourth denied.
 Examinations were conducted by Daniel F. Mahoney, federal exam iner with the Boston office of the bureau of immigration and natural ization, assisted by Paul Pearsall, Superior Court Clerk George H. Freeman administered the oath of allegiance.

 IM STAMPS
IRussions Improve Rail, EMoter Supply Systems

iONE of the chief Russian liabili. " ties in World War I was the Iinadequacy of its transportation system. The immobility of Russ sian supplies proved a severe handicap. Although Russia's sup- E,y system today cannot match Garmany's, the Soviet has inc proved 1t considerably for World War IT.
 One of the important links in the new Russian transport system is the Moscow-Volga canal, which is pictured in the ls4l stamp above.
 A leading project of the i've. year plans, 1t Is 70 miles long, links Moscow and Leningrad with the agricultural regions of the Middle and Lower Volga.
 A supplementary canal-the Volga-D -Don-is 62 miles long, per. mits ships of seagoing size to trav. el from Moscow to European ports via the Moscow, Oka, Volga and Don rivers to the Black Sea and the Dardanelles.
 Another important improvement Is the rehabilitation of the Russian railways. The vital trans-Siherian railroad, linking Russia wiA Vladivostok, the Siberian Pacific port, has been improved.

draperies was safe as long as Sara knew Its secrets.
 It was four days later that Judy opened an evening paper to scene of Sandy escorting laughing Peg from a familiar monoplane. The cameramen had been out in full force. Reporters had been plentiful.
 Judy closed her eyes and fol- lowed the procession fash lights snapping, questions, dozens of them, being hurled at the two who had come in = Peg, gay and glamorous and loving the fanfare: Sandy embarrassed and eager to slip away.
 She wondered why Sandy had not called. As yet she had made no announcement of her engage ment to Philip, The call came half an hour later.
 Congratulations she said in her lightest, brightest voice. Sorry I missed the welcome home"
 Judy, I couldn't reach a phone last night. Some people were in- tereSted in my parachute and wanted a conference to inspect it."
 What did you do2" Do flop from hotel balcony?" Not a tear tripped her husky voice.
 No, I talked. It's no go. The amiable gentlemen wouldn't meet my terms
 What did Peg think2"
 "She raised the dead. Her uncle was one of the committee SO she came along"
 "on crutchesp" Judy asked sweetly.
 "Yes, on crutches. Why?" His voice was puzzled.
 No reason. just wondered how she was. Will you excuse me, Sandy? I have a date with Phil and have to dash"
 That's right. Old Phil wouldn't split a second on an appointment. He's a good guy. Say hello to him for me"
 He likes you, too" Judy fin- ished sweetly, and hung up.

A Thought for Today
Don't Be Foolhardy

We are surprised that the number of brush fires in and around Waterbury has not shown an alarming increase in the last week or ten days. Conditions are just ripe for such fires. Probably the main reason there hasn't been such an outbreak is that warm weather has de- tered houSeholderS from starting their annual fall cleanup. And there haven't been any frosts to bring a shower of leaves down off the trees, neceSSitating raking and diSpoSing. But any one of these days the burning-off process'is apt to start.
 If you will recall there were lot of disastrous fires in Waterbury, as well as throughout the state, this spring. The then. We have had little or no rain to is becoming finder -dry. That's what tiny little brush fires feed on. A small fire may be an inferno in few brief moments if allowed to run wild or not kept in check by proper surveillance.
 A great many people believe that pile of leaves or an acre of grass and under growth can be burned up just letting the flames run at will through them. Un- fortunately fire is no respecter of human judgment. It goes where we least expect it. That's why care has to be taken in burning rubbish, more so when there has been a prolonged dry spell. If present weather conditions continue we don't doubt but what the woodlands will be closed as they have in the past and all outdoor fires will be banned It's the only way to save lives and property.

The Taxpayers Money

At Hartford right now some of our state officials are having time deciding the technicalities which circle disposal of a large accumulated surplus The law seems to be fairly explicit about how such funds shall be handled and If 1t is followed out in the proper manner there should be no great difficulty in applying the money to debt retirement. There is a difference in an individual having a satisfactory balance at the end of his business year and state government. Where the former might use the money left over for any purpose conceivable gov- ernments are usually forced by law to apply such funds to particular purpose
 In disposition of the money the tax payer should get the first benefit. Actu- ally it's his money which goes to make up a surplus, just as 1t is his failure to meet such obligations which often contributes to deficit in the operation of some form of government. He may be benefited in a number of ways. Here in Connecticut when the state government is operated in such a manner that surplus accrues this money when 1t passes a definite fig ure is applied to debt retirement.
 It so happens, though, that the exist ing $25,000,000 bonded indebtedness of Connecticut Is not regarded as bad 1r- vestment by anybody. The ones who have bought these bonds are not ready or will ing to have them redeemed. Authorities can't find any state bonds in the market and hence aren't able to use the $3, ,O0O,- 900 available surplus funds for redemp- tion purposes right at this moment. When this will be is hard to say, but in the meantime the available funds are lying idle.
 All of which is rather paradoxical, SO 1t would seem. Here is Connecticut run ming its state government well within It's budget and prepared to pay off money 1t has borrowed, yet is unable to do so be- cause the lenders are not afraid of the risk and prefer the investment to the redemption. Whether or not this is a sit- uation that requires further legislative study depends on the nature of the leg1s- lator. It might be just as well to let the money alone until it can be used for just the purpose intended

fortress whose people are one in the brotherhood of their great effort, spirit ual power yet to be recKoned with.
 Thus with the Jewish captivity in Egypt and Babylon-captiveS and slaves, the Jews became brothers in their perSe- cution. Today they live and thrive = but where are Babylon and Egypt? Thus with the perSecuted Christians of Rome. St. Paul was in prison, but he converted his guards. The Christians were perSe- cuted minority in Rome. Yet Christian ity covers the globe today, and where are the Romans?
 Assistant Secretary of State Berle brought these examples down to modern times in a recent conference on science, philosophy and religion at Columbia Uni versity. Tn most of Europe today, he noted, the Nazis compel the Jews to wear the yellow Star of David. They intend It as badge of dishonor. But 1t is signal of brotherhood; an outward sign to dis tinguish brothers, symbol of an inward and unconquerable strength. Polish Catholics are also compelled to wear distinguishing badge. Shall they not greet one another as brothers, just as the early Christians did in Rome?
 The greater the persecution, the stronger the brotherhood that rises from it. It is this spirit, rising from this hor- rible but unacceptable way of driving m upon men their essential brotherhood, that will not only beat Hitter in the end, but guide the world toward better, cleaner ways of living together in common world.

Brotherhood Is Rising

On September 1, 1889, Adolf Hitler un- leashed tremendous forces in the world. His own forces he knew = the terror of fire and sword. The other forces he knew not - the spirit of brotherhood which is being born in the ashes of diversity in a dozen countries, among score of peo- ples; the spirit which may change the world as no destructive fury of the NaziS can ever change it. Aggression and op- precision have never failed to unite their victims in bonds of strength which eventually grew into mighty power over whelming the persecutor.
 China was disunited, formleSs mass of opposing factions. Then came the Japanese invasion, and today n China united, her diverse peoples fused into brotherhood of suffering whose strength @ only beginning to be seen. Britain was 1isunited, a people torn by class distinc- tions and diverse views The Nazi bomb CTS came, and today = tight little island

Army to Be Proud of

The summer maneuvers of the various American army units give every reason for Americans to be proud of their army. Some of the conditions of the problems worked out have come about as close to actual warfare as that can be done Tn time of peace, and some of the hardships undergone have approximated those of an actual war. War Secretary Stimson is probbaly right when he said that troops participating in the maneuvers are far, far ahead of the divisions sent to France during World War l.
 Yet those divisions, thrown in against crack German divisions with four years of experience back of them, did very well indeed. They broke the German lines, at cost greater than they would have had to pay had their experience been greater, but they broke them. So today. There is no reason to be discouraged, The armies in training today are good soldiers, and, given little more specialized train ing for the specialized warfare of today, they will be quite capable of meeting any emergency the country may have to meet.

A problem that confronted Waterbury city officials during past years is now arising to vex state officials. The State of Connecticut began its fiscal year on July with a sizeable cash surplus. It really amounted to something over $5,- 100000. Of this sum continuing appro- priations will need $1 ,276,002, according to Comptroller John M. Dove. In addi- tion the state law requires that $1 900, 900 be maintained in the surplus fund. The remainder, however, something over S3,000,000 must be applied to debt retire ment. But debt retirement is practically impossible because investors won't give up their State of Connecticut bonds now. So the money would normally have to be left in mutual savings banks, as pre- scribed by statute. But the banks don't want to have deposits of this size and are also limited by law themselves. That's what necessitated change in the Water bury charter to permit more leeWay m the deposit of city funds. They now can be placed in banks outside of the city and state to permit compliance with the banking laws at all times.

A New Haven Republican has slightly confounded his party by refusing to ac- cept an aldermanic nomination because of principles. He doesn't think the state or national Republican Party is adopt ing the proper attitude towards "ridding the world of Nazism". He says, "As trade uniorist and leader and supporter of progressive youth movement in the city and state for many years firmly believe the primary issue of this election is the smashing of Hitler and Hitlerism both here and abroad" Few men would nave either the courage or conviction to take such stand in the face of possible elec- ton to public office.
