Brass City Folks Too Busy
 Making Munitions To Read!
Factories Filled to OverAowing - Library's Reading Rooms Emptied of Daily Readers Keen Interest in Nations Recognized
 "Best Sellers" of Current Period.
BY SAM DINE

The scourge of boom -days has fallen upon the Bronson Library. Readers who throngcd the reading room during the black days of the depression no longer frequent their old haunts. No longer, that Is, in the same number as during the dismal "thirties." Only the old stand-bys remain; high school students pre- pairing their assignments, teachers and that small but loyal group. the men and women who still And in books q source of mental Stimula- ton.
 But this is misleading. Circulation has remained about the same, Miss Emelyn Barret, librarian, yesterday told the Democrat. The reason that fewer people avail themselves of the reading room Is simply that they no longer have the time. Many are working overtime, practically all arc employed for forty hours during the week The fact that outside circula- ton has not appreciably fluctuated is ail encouraging indication that Q great deal of home reading is being done.
 Industrial Up.Swing
 What ultimate effect the current industrial up-swing will have upon circulation is impossible to predict, Miss Barrett declared. There IS no period in recent American history that corresponds exactly to the present. The most nearly similar were the war days of 1oi7-18, and fl they are accepted as Q basis for comparison, then the outlook is op- timistic.
 Tremendous interest Is being dis

played In books that deal with in. ternational affairs. The Riddle of the Reich" by Wythc Williams, ra- dio news commentator, and an ac. cepted authority on the foreign stu. ation, is Q book constantly on re- serve. The earnest, searching, prob. ing volumes of Vincent sheean are in great demand. The public has cx- pressed a desire to know the facts and the garish sensationalism of the World War I novels no longer holds any appeal for the reading public.
 Two books that, more than any other, have captured the Waterbury readers fancies, arc Out of the Nighp by Jan Valtin, and James Hiitons Random Harvest" Miss Mary Burke, head of the circulation department, yesterday said. While the library has sufficient funds at It's disposal, she added, the manage. ment has no intention of purchas- ing additional copies of Out of the Night" In spite of the great reader demand. This book, Miss Burke in. dicated, owes much of It's popularity to the publicity It's author has re- ceived, and whether 1t will remain permanently so Is extremely dubious.
 On the other hand, Q novel such as Ernest Hemingway's "F'or Whom the Bell Tolls" is 8 work of intrin- sic merit, and any copies of 1t pur- chased constitute A safe investment. Historical Novels
 Historical novels, starting probably with the immense success of "Gone With the Wind" are widely read, "Rivers of America" series dealing with the role of native rivers in the history of America has received a great deal of attention. What Miss Burke terms ;"smart escapism," Q type of fiction that has It's counter part in the light, insouciant farces of the motion pictures, is increas- ingly popular. An example Of this is "The Countess To Boot" by Jack Iams.
 Tn general, people of Waterbury may be interested to learn, their reading is omniverous. They show no special preferences for fiction oi on-Hction.
 Miss Burke relates an intriguing story with regard to the Americani. zation classes, just recently ended for the season. The Americanization Manual is still very much asked for, and in this connection 8 gentleman of plainly Irish extraction ap. preached a member of the library staff, and inquired about a book suitable for a man intending to take out citizenship papers. The stan member asked whether he wanted the book for his own use. He hesi- tatcd for a moment, and then rc' piled that 1t was not. but that ar acquaintance of his had lived in thi' country for fifty years, and ht thought 1t was high time his friens became a citizen.

selves on their interest in good government. l have mentioned what he said about oil. He also said that your police protection is inadequate and that a large number of homes were broken into recently. Actually there have have been three house breaks in that section since January 1st, but that is not the point. The point is that increased police protection means more appropriations. It is easy at election time to claim that an administration can do every thing that is desirable and at the same time reduce taxes. Once in office, however, you come against the fact that all these things cost money. A candidate for political office, if he is sincere, must realize that he cannot be all things to all people. He must be able to say mo" to many requests, many of which are worthwhile and deserv- ing. I have mo" many times to many requests and will continue even during campaigns.
 Bunker Hill Speech
 I have covered most of the crit icisms made during this campaign. They give you a good example of the sort of things that our oppo- nents find on which to base an attack. I make no claim that I have been perfect and that we should be above criticism. I have said that I welcome criticism and am glad to answer it. There is one sort of remark made by MT. Per- riello, however, that do not well. come and that consider entirely uncalled for. He said at Bunker Hill, referring to previous admin istrations, Apparently on the sur- face everything looked all right. Well, you know what happened after they were in office eight years. Then, too, the same thing happened later. The present ad- ministration has started off in the same way with the same old crowd" This, ladies and gentle

men, is a falsehood and a gross insult. Of all men in this City my opponent should avoid making such remarks. MT. Perriello serv- ed in the administration preceding his own, on the Police Board in 1882, 1883, 1886, 1887, 1888, and 1889. He was then elected Pres ident of the Board of Aldermen with the votes of all seven Demo- crats and one Republican-him- self. I do not believe that he would have continued to serve If he had knowledge of actual wrong doing. Certainly, however, he is hardly qualified to suggest that this election should be decided on the basis that any Democrat or anyone associated with that ad- ministration should be held sub- ject to permanent public suspicion.
 Promise Campaign
 MT. Perriello also said, 'They are already calling people in, mak- ing promises to them" While I do not think it needs any denial, let me say with all the vehemence at my command that I brand as an unqualified falsehood that we are calling in people and making political promises. If my two years in office has indicated anything to the people, Democrats or Re- publicans, it is that I make no promises to any individuals. The present city employees are doing a good days work for the City of Waterbury or they would not be on our payrolls. Our voters know that I am interested only in seeing to it that our City is run effi- ciently and economically and with in budget limitations. That is the type of administration we have had in the last two years and if the voters do not wish it contin- ued on the same plane, the thing to do is vote against us. You know what we will do even If it be "slow and cautious. You also know that it will be honest. If the voters wish to experiment., they have the opportunity.

Mir. Perriello had been elected presi- dent of the Board of Aldermen by the votes of seven Democrats plus his own.
 MT. Scully challenged MT. Perriello &o prove that any city employe in Ehis campaign or in that of 1889 was Forced to make contributions. He denied that oiling of streets at this &tme of year Is wasteful, declared that school, police and fire ap- pointments and promotions have been made on merit, and claimed that work on the Baldwin street bridge had been delayed because no plans were drawn up during the time that MT. Perriello was n office.
 The text Of Mayor scully's ad- dress:
 Tonight am glad to report to sgou that our opponents have ftn- ally recognized the fact that my administration Is the real issue in this campaign. Up to now we have been forced to point out to you that our opponents have been talking about everything but the real issue.
 Approval Sought
 I have said-vote for us if you approve of what we have done for tlne City of Waterbury and vote against us if you do not approve. Finally, MT. Perriello and his as- sociates have come to realize that She people of Waterbury are not foolish enough to be persuaded that your votes on next Tuesday will mean anything other than that you approve or disapprove of the present administration.
 Therefore, you find today that my administration is being sub- lected to attack and criticism. This is as 1t should be. We vel come this criticism even though we do not consider it to be justi- fled. It places before you the is sues which you must decide. It shows clearly and unmistakably that this election will be, as have previously insisted, a referendum on the conduct of your affairs by the present Democratic admins tration. l have said that I would be glad to answer any attacks made upon my record in office.
