several prominent travel agencies.
All of them said: "Since it has
become impossible to get reserva-
tions in your guest ranches and
resort hotels it seems like that is
the only section of the country
our customers wish to visit" My
often repeated contention is that
first we must bring people to this
country before they can ever be
sold On its attributes as a per
manent investment or residence is
concerned. Furthermore, it takes
seasons like this when the hew
and cry about lack of accomoda-
tions becomes loud and long-to
facilities for housing and entertain
ment must be provided Cat profit

1t won't hurt any part of Arizona
to have the whole nation realize
we are jammod to present capacl-

more people and spread more
rapidly than anything else.

Much Promise Ahead

Waterbury, as civic body, closed the wear 194O with it's books in excellent condition and with much promise for 10A1. We, the citizens of Waterbury, can be thankful for that and at the same time express the hope that our elected representatives will continue to exercise such good judgment and such wise ad- rninistration The first year of the regime of Mayor Vincent Scully has been definitely on the credit side of the ledger. It leaves little doubt of what is to come.
 There are many things that might be pointed to with pardonable pride by the Scully administration. But we believe there is more to come this year and that as the program unfoldS before us It VIII be seen that our civic leaders have vision, courage, and ability. That is all that could be asked of them. They ask noth- ing more of us than that we live up to our civic duties and regard Waterbury as municipality in which we are all entitled to mutual respect and confi- dence
 There is expectation, too, in the new Government that will settle at Hartford. E0nnectjcut expects much from Cover n0f-efect Robert A. Hurley. He comes t0 the gubernatorial office young man whose reputation has been achieved in few short years -- depression years. With general conditions so much better he has every opportunity to establish himself ss a humane, understanding, progressive chief executive whose first thought IS for this state Of ours and its inhabitants.

quarters for prisoners nor permit of the activities required for just normal living purposes. We are at the point where something must be done before the Eys- tenn falls into complete ruin.
 This is nothing new to us here tn Connecticut, but a special committee investigating our county jails since last May reports that the situation has be- come more acute. 1t directly calls for the replacement of the present county jails with one central jail farm. The proposal is just one of a series of such right now for in every county there seems to have sprung up a spokesman for the idea. Even the present county officers are whole-heartedly behind it, whereas once they interpoSed considerable oppo- Sition.
 As matter of economy our legislators should consider it seriously. There are now maintained ten jails in the eight counties. The one jail farm would not approximate anywhere nearer the cost of operating these institutions and at the same time would provide more pleas ant and satisfying surroundings and quarters for inmates. Two excellent req sons are thus marshalled for perSuading the 1941 Legislature to make the neces- sa1y changes effective almost immedi- ately.

Selective Service as a Mirror

Once again, .selective service offers the United States chance to look itself Squarely in the eye
 We took good look in 1917-18, and we didn't like what we saw. Low intelli- gence test ratings, all-too-high illiteracy, malnutrition, poor teeth = all these things showed up in the mirror as we examined our young men.
 Now once again we hold up the mirror to cross-Section of young American men = and what we see is not cause for self-congratulation. Rejections for phys ical reasons have run from 10 to 25 per cent of men sent to camp for induction, and, of course, many of the more obvi- ously unfit had been rejected by local draft boards before that final winnowing out.
 The standards of the army are not those of an Olympic athletic team. They require only good normal health and capacity. Yet up to 25 per cent of young Americans fail to show even that.
 There are failures of public health, of education, of clinical facilities, of diet. A sensible people will regard these reVela- tions, not as something at which to wiring intellectual hands, but as a challenge

Our 4,5OO, ,OOO Aliens

The census of aliens being completed, the United States can now take stock ot the problem of the non-citiZen among uS The total enrolment is expected to ex- ceed 4,500,000. That means that one person in 28 in the country is an allen The figure may reach as high as 5,OOO,- GOO. We know how many there are, who they are, and where they are. It is now possible to approach the situation on factual basis. -
 First, a caution The officials in charge of this registration have from the first stressed the fact that there is nothing dis graceful or discreditable about alien sta tus. This has been a factual compilation, and there is no faint suggestion of cu- pability in the summoning, registering and fingerprinting of all these people. There is no intention to persecute anyone whose only fault is that he is not citizen of the United States.
 Director Harrison has also warned ottl- \ cials, employers, and others who may now be tempted to demand that aliens pro duce evidence of having registered, that they were furnished with no recelpt on registering, and that not half ot them have yet received receipt, cards rom Washington. This will take five or six weeks. Further, the law provides that aliens need not carry receipt cards once received.
 The enforcement of this registration act is a federal matter, through the De- partment of Justice. While this depart ment may later on request certain local cooperation in identifying those who have failed to register, there is no thought of having the mere fact that reglStra- ton has been held turned into witch hunt by any individuals who think IL might be good idea.
 Many, perhaps majority of these reg istered aliens, are on the road to becom- ing American citizens just as fast as the law allows. Others will have matters to st-aighten out with the Department ot Justice connected with illegal entry, but even of these majority will prove quite innocent their offenSe being technical and committed back in days when these matters were not so important. Only small proportion, as in any large group, will prove to be maleVolent or danger ouS.
 The task of winnowing these individuals out of the 5,O00,0OO is distinctly pro- fessional task = one that belongs, both by law and by common sense, to trained operatives of the Department of Justice.
 Help, cooperation, and sympathy Will serve the vast majority of these aliens far better than bounding In thus serving them, we shall best serve our common country.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-02

Last Friday was momentous day for Hartford On that day Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy signed an agreement with the Connecticut Company which will allow the traction firm to abandon its trolleys and rails and substitute busSes for them. The change will be gradual one, accord ing to information from the Capital City, but within year after permission is granted by the Public Utilities Com mission all trace of trolleys will probably be missing. With this it can be definitely said that the trolley in Connecticut is now definitely in the dodo class. It re- mains only for New Haven to follow Hartfords example and we don't doubt but what she will shortly. Although we haven't had the trolleys here in Water bury in several years now ib seems ages since they were operating here. Ten years ago they were moving in all direc- tions; today busses jockey for curb posi- tion all through the city Where trolleys imposed one problem, busses impose others.

NOW IS TIME TO. CALL ON YOUR RESERVE POWER TO
 AID MANKIND
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Why not a happy New Year? 194lS discomforts and anxieties may leaven our lumpy lives with a bit of sacrificial joy.
 Does the war affect you as kind of "black- k-out" of hope and a paraly. sis of purposeful effort? Tn this scene your part is not to drift along with others toward despair or fran- tic fury. It is, rather, to react vig- orously against both these, for your own sake and for the common good. If you have any reserve power-re- ligious faith, philo6cphic calm, stubborn courage-use it now.
 Civilization is not collapsing. It Is being poured into new molds, at terrific temperatures. Democracy is not finished. It has grown fat and bit soft; probably it needed the sharp challenge of its fanaticai ri- vals: but it's services to civilization are still indispensable.
 Hitler must be stopped, but so must the war. Can we cooperate effectively in stopping the one with. out unnecessarily prolonging the other? And can you pardon a preachy old professor for intruding among your New Years resolutionsp
