question in the world is, How much do you care about people? Do you have a vital interest in their well fare? Do you really value them as individuals?
 The thirteenth chapter of I Corinthians suggests a method by which we can test the validity of our concern for other people. Are we easily provoked2 Are we puffed up? Are we long suffering and kind? Are we self-seeking? Do We rejoice when someone gets involved in evil? The way we answer these questions indicates whether we really love our fellows or do not love them.
 If we have no love for others, we have no real influence over them. We may force them to do our bid. ding. We may persuade them # we arc clever enough. But we never really get down Into their lives uns less we love them. Nothing else counts. It has truly been said, we become ourselves ns we give our- selves to others.

Moreover, in ucing Alcoa figures as his own, StettiniuS perhaps unwittingly was giving the giant corporation a boost in it's battle with the Justice Department.
 The Justice Department. which has been warning with Alcca in an effort to break its monopoly, fiatly contradicts the production claims which Stet- tinius published. Whereas Stet- tinius says aluminium output will be 63,0OO,000 pounds month by July l, with overall needs only 5S,O00,C0 pounds, the Justice Department claims that production will not reach even 58,OOO,OOO pounds until year and six months hence-July l, 1942.

Little has been said about shoveling snow off sidewalks and sanding the same this winter There haven't been too many occasions for such exertions. But we're getting them now Sidewalks should be promptly shoveled off, with the snow being tossed onto private property, if possible, and not into the street. An investment in a barrel of sand at the beginning of the winter may save few damage claims later on.

Don't be surprised any day to read that the British government has smiply goneAahead and taken over various Irish seapOrts for use as anti-submarine naval bases. Confidential reports received in Washington indicate that the de- cision to do that has been made and that only a favorable time is awaited. One reason for delay is to give British representatives in the United States a chance to sound out Irish-American senti- ment and see whether the reaction would be too damaging to projects like the leaSe-lend bill.

OBJECTION TO EDITO RIAL VOICED BY CHAIRMAN OF
 LOCAL GROUP
51 East Liberty Street, Waterbury, Conn, Iop,Iorv 07 1Qd1

Ot CdSt A1Uclty OACCt,
 Waterbury, Conn, January 27, 1941. Editor, Waterbury Democrat: Last Monday, January 20th. sent a letter to the editor of the Re- publican in reply to an editorial which appeared in The Republican on the preceding Friday. AS the letter was an attack on the editorial in question, it would have been only fair, believe. to print this letter since The Republi- can carries column entitled What do you think? Write letter" But, it seems, your thinking must cor respond favorably with MT. Pape's if it is to be presented to the public. This is not the first time the. Re- publican and American has refused to publish my communications. Ap- parently, MT. Pape's editorials are of such racuous nature that they ] necessitate the censoring of all mat ter to the contrary. Thank heaven, that there is one newspaper in this city that presents all views fairly and without first considering whether they are in ac- cord with its editorial policies. The Waterbury Democrat is to be commended for this. Enclosed is copy of the letter in question.
 Yours truly,
 LESTER LOISEAU, Chairman, The mittee for the Preservation of Americanism. 51 East Liberty Street,
 Waterbury, Conn.,,
 January 20, 1941. The Waterbury Republican
 and American,
 61 Leavenwbrth Street,
 City.
 To the Editor of the Republican,: Dear Sir:
 In an editorial of Fridays Re- publican, you recommended to those fortunate enough to hear Mir. Castles speech, four para graphs of the Presidents annual message to Congress. As one of MT. Castles listeners, I would like to put forth my views in ref-' erence to one of the four para graphs which comprised your recommendation. It read:
 Let us say to the deinocracies: We Americans are virtually con- cerned in your defense of freedom. We are putting forth our energies our resources and our organizing powers to give you the strength to regain and maintain | free world. We shall send you, in eyer.in. creasing numbers. ships. planes, tanks, guns. This ie our purpose and our pledge"
 Now fl we arc to proceed in ac. eoFdanee with the above states ment, no one need fear that .

 @. Is the Aurora Borealis ever seen in the southern zones?
 A. The lights in the Southern hemisphere are known as the Aur- ora Australis and are seen in the southern-lght zone, situated over the Antarctic continent and the little-known Antarctic seas.
 @. What causes the recoil of 8 gun?
 A. 1t is the result of the resist ance offered by both the gun and the bullet to the expanding gases generated by the ignition of the powder. It begins the instant the powder is ignited, and ends when the bullet leaves the muzzle, there by releasing the gases and conse- quently the resistance to expansion. Newton,s Third Law of Motion, ITO every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" covers gun re- coil. Whenever body acquires mo- mentum some other body acquires an equal and opposite momentum. In a gun, the expanding gases inn part motion to the bullet and an equal and opposite motion to the gun. The latter is the recoil.

The White House has kept long silence about the generally accepted report that John G.

Jesse Jones wants him to be assistant secretary of commerce in charge of civil aeronautics. wALLACES
 HELPER
 Vice President Wallace's parlia- mentary job of presiding over the Senate, with a lot of strange faces in front of him and labyrinth of unfamiliar rules to enforce, is made fairly simple and easy because of the constant presence on the scene of Charley Watkins, Senate parlia- mentarian.
 Watkins sits right in front of the vice presidents chair, on a lower level, and he knows the Senate rules and precedents. by heart. A vice president could be an utter novice and still get by fine just by repeat ing the rulings and suggestions recited sotto voce by Watkins.
 Watkins has had the job since 1923, and has tutored Vice PreSi- dents Dawes, Curtis and Garner. It's his proud boast that under his guidance no ruling of any of these men was ever overruled by the Senate.

Keep Press Free

n EVELATfONS of the inroads of communism in our
IN public schools and colleges and the under-cover acv
tiles of the bundss together with the superb work of
the Dies and RappCouder committees have revealed Just
how deep are the footprints of the Trojan horse in the
soil of our country.
The national department Of Americansm Of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars has issued a timely broadsde
showing the vital dangers that confront institutions
and our way of life from WITHIN.
The dangers that confront us are
COMMUNISM. The Communists bore from within.
They undermine. They attack love of country.
They sabotage not only defense industries but ALL our
industrial activities
0-THE NAZIS. They promote hate. They preach
L a#ti-seHaitisH, seek To break down by
poisoning the wells of our tolerance
o-PROPAGANDA. That is propaganda directly
y from abroad Only recently the government con-
demned tons of this propaganda to the wastebasket
d-DESTRUCTION OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE
T AND THE ENSLAVEMENT OF LABOR. This is
the steady undermining of coectivis groups that are
often camoufaged under Notwithstanding names
THE GRADUAL DESTRUCTION OF CIVIL
RIGHTS. This is done by hypocritical appeals of
subversve groups to their constitutional rights Ihese
appeals are the purpose of maintaining the rights"
of those groups to ndocrnate children with theories
that would destroy those very rights.
To make successful these Trojan horse and
fifth column tactics one thing, above ALL is necessary and
that is-A FREE PRESS
"a free press is a nations best defense says this
circular of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
PUBLICITY is the weapon that will break the power
of our internal foes
This has been unquestionably shown in the work OF
the Dies and the Rapp-Coudert committees
Drag all the activities of Communists, Nazis and
Fascsts out into the binding glare of newspaper and
radio publicity.
Keep the press FREE and the u. s. A. will remain
free and our AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE SHALL NOT
PERISH FROM THE EARTH!

She Cant Find Out
About This 'PhenagIe
BY DAMON RUNYON

T OBS CALDWELL of Pine
crest Sanitarium, Beckley,
West Virginia, is curious about
the word "phenagle," which one
of the girls in the sanitarium
recently heard over the radio
and brought to her for defini-
ton. because Miss Caldwell has
been a school teacher. She was
unable to throw any light on the
word.
She could not find il in any
dictionary at hand, n d the
other girl wrote to her sister in
Washington, who searched the
libraries there and also inquired
at Brentano's book store and
elsewhere without solving the
mystery. Then Miss Caldwell
remembered seeing it in our
stuff and writes to inquire the
meaning and derivation.
Her own idea is that IL means
scheming TO achieve ones pur.-
pose, which is a b out right.
Perhaps a more literal interpre-
tation would be maneuverlng. 1t
is true that it is not in any
dictionary as yet, but it will be.
1t is one of those handy words
that come to light now and then
as slang to remain in the Ian
guage. We are curious to sec
what the photographers do with
it when they come to explaining
the derivation.
WE COULD invent a most
w logical derivation for them.
We might say that "phenagle"
represents a telescoping of two
words, forever niggling," which
became "f'rnigglin!" and finally
"phenagling," but the truth OF
the matter is that the latter
word springs from obscenlty,
which is true of many other
words now in common, yet rea-
sonably chaste use. "Niggling"
itself, which is in our dictionary
as meaning fussy an Id over
elaborate and also as mean and
petty, and likewise as trouble
some and annoying. derives from
"niggardly," of course, yet as
"niggling' it was old English
slang with an impure meaning.
We accept most of the diction-
airy explanations of legitimate
words without question, but
sometimes we. suspect the die
