CHICAGO, May with 81 a
bushel paid for No. l hard wheat
in the Chicago spot market, highest
price since last May, wheat futures
scared more than 2 cents a bushel
today. The upturn was held in
check by profit taking, however.
Corn advanced fractionally to
above 10 cents, highest since 1887,
while soybean and lard futures at
one time were at new peaks for the
past several years.
Buying of wheat was associated
with congressional plans to raise
loan rates for the new crop and
imitation talk associated with the
armament program and the war.
Profit taking was encouraged by re-
ceipt of beneficial moisture in soft
winter wheat territory and possi-
bility of some stored wheat being
released because of favorable prices.

VOLUNTEER BLOOD DONOR GROUPS IN BRANFORD
 SHOULD BE SIMULATED

January 8, 1941. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 It is not often that am moved to write to the papers but an article in the latest number of the Readers Digest has led me to make a sug- gestion. It seems to me to point to a need in our community and a method by which that need can be met in brotherly and an efficient way.
 The article to which I refer is Blood Brothers" and is condensed from This Week" magazine. It is the story of the organization of a group of blood donors in Madison, Conn. My interest in the project is all the keener because I happen to know the minister who is mentioned --the Reverend E. Wallace Mast and think very highly of him. It appears that a MT. Leslie Norton and my friend MT. Mast were able to organize unique community en- terprise, the Madison Blood Donor Club. which has rendered invaluable service to people in the community who need blood transfusions and are not able to pay what must seen to them prohibitive prices. am sure that nearly every minister in Wat erbury at one time or another has had to seek our volunteer blood donor. There ought to be some way of organizing the community under the leadership of some strong ser- vice organization in such way that these blood transfusions might be available to deserving people. We ought to be able to build lp list of names of donors and as a matter of fact actual reserves in a central blood bank.
 May I suggest that the article from Readers Digest might be re- printed on your editorial page. I

The Tide of the Future

Now, at last, you can begin to feel the rising of a mighty tide. It is Tide of the Future, and it is freighted with the burden of a new world. There are waves, true, and one of them has been described by Mrs. Lindbergh. She sees the world helplessly driven forward by wave which washes it toward life more nearly ex- emplified by totalitarianism than by freedom. But that is Wave of the Present. It is the wave that has engulfed France, and Norway, and Holland, and Belgium Beneath and beyond this wave there is mighty tide, and it is tide of freedom.
 The time for quivering and quaking is past. The time to higgle over what will the totalitarians do?" is past. The time is past, to cover before their advancing wave lest we be temporarily submerged. The time to bubble over "Just how demo- cratic is England?" or "What have the English done to India?" is past. Whatever they are, whatever they have done, they fight the fight that promises most for freedom. They ride securely on the tide which now begins to rise, slowly but perctptibly now, toward free world.
 It is too late, again, to look back to 1918 and the dream that was dashed into. a million pieces - the dream of peace full, decent world, the dream of "a world fit for heroes to live in." We won that war and lost the prize. But that world, that prize, remains infinitely desirable. Thank the Nazis for one thing, anyway. They have shown us that the world of the future cannot be the world of the past. That much is clear. The security which the Nazis now promise their people is security which every country must achieve Few clearly-stated war aims have come from Churchill, but every word from England is that the ancient world of privilege and position is dead. This time the heroes are going to make their own world.
 It is on this great Tide of the Future that the President has launched the United States, even though to sail upon it, some waves must be breasted Whether those waves will mean war for the United States, we do not yet know. They may, whenever the Nazi leaders believe the United States is no more dangerous at war than as the arsenal of democracy" We do not know precisely to what sort of brave new world this tide of the future is bearing us. No blueprintS are drawn, no guarantees established In detail, in manner of administration, no doubt, it win be strangely different from what we have known.
 We know only that we cannot be wrong

Governor Robert A. Hurley might cas- fly have devoted a considerable portion of his inaugural message to the subject of state government reorganization. Hay ing made and furnished authorities with survey of the several departments of state few years back he is familiar with the topic and is stout defender of the reorganization plan. But he chose to talk more at length of matters that he believed to be of even more importance to the average man. However the Legis- lature cannot afford to overlook the op- portunity this year of eliminating and consolidating various branches where there is duplication of effort. We need good government, but also an economical one

Court Reform

Reforms in our minor court system were encouraged in the inaugural address of Governor Robert A. Hurley last Wednes- day afternoon. But there was tone Of futility in that particular section Of hlS address, because the governor virtually admitted the impossibility of getting the Legislature to make the change that has long been requested by the State Judicial Council and by ranking judges in our higher courts, namely, establishment ot a district court plan in place of the pres ent city, town, borough, police, and jus tice of the peace courts.
 Governor Hurley advises the Legislature this year to continue along it's way to- wards a constitutional amendment the proposal that all judges of the minor courts be appointed directly by the gov ernor, as are higher court justices now. This is called, for some unknown reason, removing the courts from politics. It simply means, of course, that appoint ment of a court official by the governor isn't called a political action, whereas if the Legislature made the nomination It would be. Of course there's more to it than that, because for years legislators have swapped court jobs for other favors and no one at Hartford made very much about it, either.
 It is Governor Hurley's personal belief that the proposed amendment is of slight value in procuring the desired court re- forms, but he is willing to contribute his bit towards accomplishing later date and fuller reform, even if it only means now having his office assume the responsi- bility for the minor court appointees. In that he speaks with the utmost candor present judicial system Should the Leg islature be of a mind to scrap the amend ment and launch a fuller reform move ment, the governor certainly would be the last to interpose an objection. Many think that it could really do this in 1941.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-10

Legislative sessions do not actually get under way until next Wednesday and even then our senators and representa- tiveS won't start real work This won't come until the following week when the regular legislative routine will have been established. There is plenty to be done this year. We can see the proposed laws and acts pouring in already. With sep arate committees to hear the various bills it means that the members will have to be prompt in their attendance and thorough in the performance of the duties to which constituents elected them

Raden-PoweIl

Of Lord Baden-Powell book after book might be written today. The death of the founder of the Boy Scout movement makes his long and variegated career stand out in it's each and every detail Much could be written, for example, about his work to establish the Scout movement and how he fostered it and lived to see it spread not merely among the boys of the world, but also among the girls. If he had done nothing else but this his cup of achievement would be overflowing.
 But he was so many other things that it is hard to begin to describe them. In military circles, of course, he is outStand- ing No war annals can ever be con- plete without a description of his efforts at the defense of Mafeking in the Boer War He was positively a genius at or ganizing meagre forces and making them a powerful wedge against superior odds He was a strategist of the highest calibre and remained as such until the end of his 83 years, the ripe old age he had at tained at his death Wednesday.
 He wrote books that were more than merely readable. They were highly en- joyable. He was an actor of the first water, although his talents in this respect were muchly limited by his many other endeavorS. He could sketch with either his right or left hand and draw the plau- dits of the most discerning critics. His work as sculptor earned him an exhibi- ton at the Royal Academy back in 1907. And with all this he chose, when the opportunity afforded it, to return to Africa to spend his last days. There he is buried on the slopes of Mt. Kenya, region he had come to love more dearly than his native heath of England

It's funny how civic events run in couplets. Here we have Waterbury and New Britain with respective problems of how to dispose of starlings Over in New Britain authorities want to cut down elm trees on the central green to get rid of the obnoxious birds. In our own city we actually cut down an elm tree on the Green to round off it's jutting corners on one end. But the starling problem is still unique in both manufacturing centers. And now we read that New Britain has just learned of plan that would trans form its central green into one gigantic parking place for busses. This would end all downtown parking problems. It wasn't so many years ago that the same idea was propounded here. At one time they even contemplated tunneling under the green and making the parking place an underground areaway New Englanders' ideas certainly run in the same grooves.

interesting as to go out on the bounding main and travel to some distant part of the world. He would be queer fellow indeed who prefers to shut himself up in a room and examine maps and globes A.stead of booking passage to foreign shores. But there are many people who, in the fielt. of religion, spend all their time examining maps and none at all in travelling. They believe the Bible from cover to cover and are mortified at the thought that any, one should ever question a state ment in a creed. But they keep their business and their religion well separated SO that one never interferes with the other. They pro- fess to love the Lord, yet carry deep-seated grudges against cer- tain of their fellow-men. They speak about the love of God for mankind, yet never practice this love in their dealing with their fel- low men.
 To them the Bible is a map and they love to examine it and talk about 1t. But there are others for

 MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
 Meetings of the Senate Demo- cratic steering committee usually are routine and humdr1lm, but the session called to choose the new chairman of the Judicairy Committee should be different. A lot of fireworks are expected ONCA O oCA11OA4Cy IoAASAC DCCWCC4A square-jawed Senator Fred Van Nuys of Indiana and portly Pat McCarran of Nevada.
 Both claim senior rights to this powerful committee post, and the steering committee will have a tough time choosing between them because both were made Judiciary members on exactly the same day in March, 1883.
 Van Nuys, however, claims an edge on seniority because his name was placed above that of McCar- rams on the committees station cry and he occupied senior seat at meetings. McCarran, on the other hand, for six years has con- stantly protested this "raw deap. Last year he kicked up such a rumpus that a mutual friend went to Van Nuys and begged him to switch seats.
 Pats extremely jealous of
 you, Fred" said the friend, also

a committee member. "He says you are not entitled to a higher
 seat, and that the fact that your
 name is above his on the com
 mittee's stationery hurts him
 politically in Nevada. The only
 thing that apparently will quiet
 him is to give him your seat"
 This happened soon after Van NuyS returned from a grave ill., ness that nearly caused his death. He agreed to the plea, with the understanding, however, that le was not waiving any seniority rights. But now McCarran is using this seating concession as one of the bases for his demands for the chairmanShip. Another is that he has "alphabeticap prior ity over Van Nuys.
 To this Van Nuys, his dander up, retorts that if alphabetical priority is to be factor, he has the issue clinched two ways-first because Indiana comes before Ne vada in the alphabet and second because Indiana was admitted to the Union long before Nevada.
 It's fight almost worthy of the French Chamber of Deputies, and the Merry Co., Round hereby of fers an extra reward of a free ride to the winner.
