U. s.

Capacity attendance at the War ner Bros. State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of George Stevens Penny Seren- ade," with Irene Dunne and Gary Grant co-stared
 Two of the most exciting stars on the screen today, in love story which is everything 8 love story should be--sentimental. rapturous, filled with laughter and with tears Penny Serenade" possesses as well, a warmth and tenderness which makes 1t one of the years immediate selections for the vaun- ted "ten best"
 As 8 casual, irresponsible news- paperman and his wife, Grant and Miss Durne bring to the screen characterizations which are intrin- sically human, filled with sympa- thetic understanding so that their romance becomes one that not only belongs to, but becomes @ part of, every member of their audiences The stars surpass anything they have ever given the screen. Based upon Martha Cheaven's magazine novel, Penny Serenade' carries its principals through a ten- year period. It traces their hectic courtship and impetuous marriage, and describes their rapturous honey moon which ends in disaster. Despondent and despairing because of the loss of their baby, the couple settle down to life in small coun- try town, where he attempts to run @ newspaper. The struggle for ex- istence straightens the newspaper man out, so that he becomes an at- tentive husband and, when they adopt a child, loving and respon- sible father.
 Supporting the stars are Beulah Bondi, as the spinster superinten- dent of an orphanage. who helps the couple through legal and finan- cial entanglements. Edgar Bu- chanan is equally effective as the lovable friend of the family" the linotype operator whose human un- derstanding helps Grant and Miss Dunne through their difficulties, and Ann Doran is seen to advan- tage as the music store salesgirl who brings the couple together.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Strand Alibi," a -tingling drama with Arthur Kennedy and Joan Perry In leading roles.

 The second Imperialist war;" he continued, undertaken for the pur- pose of the redivision of the world and of securing profits to Capitalists has turned into a world war and embraced almost all Capitalist coui1- tries. The war is being waged in Europe, Asia and Africa, 1t is fed by the resources of the North and South Americas, 1t rages on land on the seas and in the air, spread ing death and destruction, subjecting the toiling masses to immense pri- vations, hunger and poverty. But the peoples of Capitalist countries desire peace and they will secure 1t.

full strength both as an arsenal of de- mocracy, and as free nation where every man may succeed and prosper and serve to the very limit of his abilities, anhbi- tions and energies.
 There are those who would now use national defense" as an excuse to have the government develop our natural resources -- who would, in a word, social ize them We have examples to indicate what would follow if that happened. Rus { sia is rich in natural resources. Yet the Russian standard of living, after more than 20 years of socialism, remains at rock bottom, and Russian produc- ton is notoriously low, wasteful and in- efficient. Is this the kind of political philosophy the American people wish to follow?
 The industries which turn our natural resources to productive use will cooper ate to the limit with government now and in the future. They will show the world that free America, working under free enterprise system, is stronger than dictatorship, and that free men will out produce slaves. This is no time to change system which has met and conquered every menace of the past, and which to- day is gathering all of it's vast resources to meet the menace of the present

The Aluminium Drive

Waterbury is launching its drive for the collection of old aluminium one week in advance of most communities There is no desire on our part to beat the nation, but as Mayor Vincent Scully has ex- plained it the week of July 21, when the official drive will be held throughout the U. s. A., is going to be extremely busy for Waterbury, what with state conven- tion of the American Legion being held here. To prevent any possible conflict the aluminium will be collected next week and, of course, any other weeks that houSeholderS show desire to contribute.
 A word of warning should be issued, we think, in connection with the drive. No woman should feel that she must deprive herself of any of her best pieces of aluminium to contribute to what she feels is most worthy and patriotic campaign. That's not the purpose of collecting old aluminium. The idea is to donate pieces that no longer are being used in the daily household tasks. There are odd pots, pans, covers, parts of percolators, etc., 1n every home. They take up space and seldom are used. Junk piles in the cellar or backyard also are sources of aluminium
 That's what this city is asked to give to the drive next week. Don't give away good pieces of aluminium for that will only mean that you and many others must replace them which in turn means a sudden demand for new aluminium. Nothing is accomplished in this way. There will be plenty of places to deposit the aluminium If you don't happen to be contacted. They will be advertised in the daily newspapers. If you prefer, bring your collection to the big bin in front of the City Hall and watch the pile grow.

 In the current account of such a meet ing, w. s. Parish, president, made this significant statement: "The way to Suc- ceed, the way to keep in business in any country in South America is to emphatic more in the future than in the past that we belong to the country. !. In foreign country, we become South Americans, and as such we do business. We must become part of the country in every sense of the word and the people in that country must be partners and the gov ernment must have a more direct interest in the business than they had in the past when we were doing business from New York, and we were Yankees from the United States" We're learning And there's hope for him who learns.

Think Over

Mention of daylight saving time is dis tasteful to a lot of people, we know, but at time like the present we can be very |, thankful that it is in existence in parts of. the United States It should be uni v0rSal throughout the nation, if for no other reason than the saving that it would mean in consumption of electric power for Illuminating purposes. We aren't trying to cut down the electric power consumption of the various private utilities, but we are concerned with nnak- ing available for defense industry pur- poses all the electric energy that is needed.
 Some sections of the country which depend entirely on electricity generated by water power have been hard hit this spring and early summer because of fail ing water supplies. This has had its effect on many industries and has been a source of considerable worry at Washing ton. So much so has the problem vexed officials that there has been considerable talk about adding another hour to day. light saving. In other words clock time would be two hours ahead of sun time. This has been done in England and in Germany, where, of course, the war is felt the most.
 We don't think that it will be possible to inaugurate such schedule as this generally in. the United States unless the war emergency becomes much more Stringent than it is right now But we could very easily extend the daylight Sav- ing time period from the end of Septem- ber to the end of October or even Novem- ber. It would be of considerable advan- tage in saving power consumed through cut New England industries in the au- saufn days that find darkness creeping ea earlier with each passing day.

Navigation of the commerce de. partment.
 No family influence or politi- cal pull pushed Hoover ahead in life, and probably his success stems chiefly from ceaseless, unremitting work plus personal integrity, plus Q Scrupulous care not to infringe upon the civil liberties.
 The CIO has been suspicious of Hoover and sometimes ac- cused him Of planting labor spies. Unquestionably if there are sa. boteurS inside national defense fac- tories, Hoover will have men planted to find them out. But the real fact is, though the CIO may not appreciate it, that Hoover IS one of the most circumspect pro- tectors of civil liberties in the country.
 No suspect gets his reputation ruined by having his name gplashed in the headlines unless Hoover definitely has the goods on him. There gre raids on the private files of political organiSa. tons sslch as staged by the Dies Oom5nittee.
