BACK-TALK OF A NEW YORKER
 Sen. Vandenberg says that if Hit Ter won't accept what he calls a just peace made by the U. S., we should go to war against him {. Vandenberg is the same gfnk who accuses others of trying to get this nation into war by interfering in Yurropean affairs William Rhodes Davis denies he is peddling erl to the Nazis Whats that erl refinery he admits owning in Hamburg; Germany, used for-kiil- ing mosquitoes? Dr. Kingdom, ex-president of the Univ. of Newark. is quoted by the Her-Trib of Jan. 18th as telling a group that Amer ica's great need is to be "re-dis- covered" Hmmmm The Times says editorially that all dur ing the campaign Willkie was in favor of FDR's foreign policy |. That's not so Remember the speeches in which he claimed that FDR was responsible for Munich. and when Willkie said the Presi- dents foreign policy would ruin this nation? The New York Times seems to have an abbreviated mem- ory . Russia is willing to play ball with anybody-so long as they let her keep score.
 Mark Sullivan, the Washington sage, laments that Lindbergh has been smeared by some section of the press and public That's too bad Lindbergh can say what he likeS-but if you say what you like about Lindbergh, you're un- fair Life says Vain Marshall has been smeared by the press . {. We wish someone would define the word smear to us It used to mean an unfair and untrue attack Now it. seems to describe any sort of criticism based on facts ,. The Civil Liberties Union deplores the fact that some freedom of the Nazi-American Bund has been curbed w iththe freedom of all civilization at stake-look at the things they worry about! :. . .. The Nation and New Republic re- veal great concern about the growth of the Trojan Horse in America. They urge something be done about it But when the G-men get after guys like Harry Bridges.

Assistant Superintendent as assistant, Dr. Condon declared that he would be required to per- form whatever other tasks the su- perintendent assigned him.

Board Of Education
 Names pr. GiImartin
New Post of Assistant Superintendent Created; C.
 Oppose Position, But Endorse Choice of COnd0n

The appointment of pr. John c. Gilmartin, principal of Uuggan and Begnal schools, to the post of as- sistant superintendent of schools, met with opposition last night at the meeting Of the Board of Edu- catino, but in the end was unani- lnously approved.
 AntaRonism to the new appoint ment was directed not against the proposed appolntee, but against the creation of the new position, abolished eight years ago. Opposi- ton proceeded along partisan lines, Republican members of the board voicing disapproval, and insisting that there was no need for an as- sistant superintendent.
 Dr. Thomas J. Condon, sslperin- tendent of schools, proposed the candidate with the sanction of the committee on teachers, and in naming their choice, maintained that the increased burden of work in connection with federal defense training schools, made it iInpera- tive that an assistant be chosen to relieve him Of some of his tasks. Tn particular, he stressed the fact that he has been unable to give adequate attention to the upper grades, fourth to eighth, and that the chief duties of the new assist ant would be to provide proper su- pervision over these.
 Situation Changed
 In reply to questions raised by Consrs. Harold Parkinson and John J. Kearney as to the neces- sity of the appointment, in view of the fact that the city had mans aged to dispense with the post for the past eigh years, Dr. Condon replied that the situation has changed materially"
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully sup- ported the superintendent's con- tention that the burden of defense schools made it virtually impos- Sible for him to conduct appro- priate supervision over the upper grades, and Cornsr. Perry Graicer- stein corlcurrcd in this opinion.
 Questioned as to the reason for the choice of Principal Gilmartin, pr. Condon replied that he was the senior principal of local gram mar schools, and merited the choice in view of seniority preference. He further stated that he regarded MT. Gilmartin as eminently quail flied for the post because of his long experience.
 As assistant superintendent of schools in Waterbury, MT. Gilman tin will receive a salary of $4,300 annually, which constitutes an in- crease of $200 over his salary as principal of puggan and Begnal schools. He will also continue to function as supervisor of evening schools, for which he receives $9OO yearly.

Nations Real Income Reaches New "Top" Rises P Cents on $l Over Year Ago-Wages, Up
 47-Cents, Lead Gains

Minneapolis, July 6--Mr. and Mrs. American Public during May, lo4i, had the highest real income In their lives. Their cash incomes, $l.31 against $l in May, 1040, rose more rapidly htan tlfeir living costs, which in May, 104l were $1.Oa against $l in the same month a year earlier. Therefore the public'S in May, 1o41, had a "real income of $l.27 against q in hte same l940 month, according to a monthly study of what people get and spend, made public here today by Inves- tors Syndicate.
 'eThe tremendous lift in business activity and consumer demand has not yet been reflected in consumer prices, because of action of the gov- ernment's Price Administration of- flee or because of previous surplus eS, or for both reasons" explained Investors Syndicate's monthly study of the nations purchasing power.
 Although the cost of food, shell ter and miscellaneous necessities is higher htan year ago, the great increase in all forms of cash in- come brings the real income to American consumers to record high levels.
 Pay Envelopes Lift Cash Income
 '~The major increase in cash in. come flows through the nations pay envelopes. With employment at . record high figure and overtime payments rather widespread, es- pecially in defense and allied indus. tries, wage payments in the United States in May, 104l, reached a new high.
 "Pay envelopes of wage earner, during May, I94I contained 4147 fol every $l in May, 1040. In April, 104l they contained $1.30 for every 4l ir April, 1040. During March they con. tained $i.34. February $l.29, and January $l.22 respectively, all fig ures being contrasted with the same month of year earlier.
 "Salary checks also are bigger than 8 year ago. In May, l0Al they were written for $l.21 against q in the like 1o40 month. In April they were made out for $1.17 against $i in April, l940. During March they were for $l15, February $l.1S, and In January for $l.i0 respectively, all of these comparisons being con- trasted with $l for the like month of the preceding year.
 Farm Income Stages Another
 Advance
 Farm income, as reflected in other income, staged another sharp advance, as farm marketings in- creased. A combination of factors such as stimulation from our own defense program, and purchasing for the account of Great Britain, under the lend-lease bill, contributed tc spur marketings of animals and crops.

EX-CUARDSMEN
 MUST REGISTER
Selective Service Director Issues Statement on Re.
 quirements of Law

Men who have served in the &C., tive National Guard are required to register immediately upon ex- piration of their service, eve n though they are not, under cer- tain conditions, liable to further peacetine training and service un- der the Selective Service act.
 That fact was stressed today by Colonel Ernest L. Averill, director of Selective Service for Connecti- cut, who said that all such men should present themselves to a local board for registration iInrne- diately upon their discharge.
 The act is specific" said Direc- tor Averill, "in requiring registra- tion of men within the age group of 21 to 36 who have served in the National Guard. Men who were members of the active National Guard on October IS last, and who have completed six or more con- secutive years, are relieved from liability for peacetime service and training, but they must register. Those who were members of the National Guard and have served less than six years are relieved neither from registration nor train ing"
 Director Averill said that his at- tention had been called to the fact that some men in the Na- tional Guard in federal service who have been discharged because of expiratino of their service have not registered. They should do so immediately, he declared, and add ed that the Ws~ department has now issued inst ( %:tions that such men shall be notified by their or- ganization commanders at the time of their discharge of the neces- Sity to register.

HOlsteins are not noted for high butterfat and they eat an amazing quantity of fod- der.

 Shotgun weddings are forecast for this valley soon. Watch the news columns for details. Keep your own affairs in order.
 Watch for some genuine com petition now. Greg Cassidy is clerking at the Condon Store and if there was ever an alert, wide- awake man behind the counter, he's tagged. Greg took the inside job because outside work was a temptation. You cannot attend so many auctions when you have regular hours of employment. When you miss the auctions you save money that might have been spent on jimcracks, old bootjacks, grindstOneS and books. Drop in and sec our Democratic Town Chairman. Buy an ice cream cone.

 Good deer shooting on East Hill. Fred Travis has leased the big meadow to Squire Horton and a new crop of corn is going in. Deer are expected to work on the crop at night while crows are sure to fatten there by day.

 Noteworthy for their reliable devotion to duty are the women who come here from country towns to work at the training school. Rural women are better suited for the job of caring for slightly maladjusted people. They've had experience with hired men and with farmers who have gone balnly from too much felt boot cider. A city nurse never gets the training. Country girls are never out of training.
