It Pays, Too

It's always pleasure to announce an extra dividend. Right now, 1t looks as though the new policy of American ex- porters in turning away from Latin American distributors who use their bus- iness to play the Axis game Is going to pay its first extra The regular dividends began at once in taking business, and therefore profits and money, away from South and Central American agents and distributors known to be sympathetic to and actively working for the Axis in those countries-and also working against the United States, whose goods they were sell ing and whose profits they were taking. By transfer of these agencies and this only to their native countries, or if pos- sibie friendly toward the United States, good dividend was declared at the start.
 Further, protection was gained against postwar time when German and Italian goods will again flood Latin America, and distributors favorable to them would probably toss aside American goods and push those of the totalitarians (which they would be doing right now except that they can't get them.) But there's been an extra dividend, too. Many exporters hesitated to change agen- cies, fearing that no other satisfactory representation could be had. Fears along that line have been removed by the dis closure before the foreign credit inter- change bureau of the National Association of Credit Men, of the fact that since pro- Nazi and anti-American sales agencies were replaced, sales have risen. One man. ufacturer was quoted as saying that "since the reorganization of our Latin American representation, we have dis covered that we were getting less than two-thirds of the volume we should have had in countries where anti-American agents handled our sales in the last 10 years"
 Tn other words, Nazi agents in Latin America weren't breaking their back to sell certain American goods, even when it meant profits for them which they could use to subvert the countries in which they were operating Which isn't so surprising after all. To do the right thing, the thing that protects the na- tional interest and it's future, and then to find that it pays, to boot, that's very good news indeed. American exporters who have not yet wised up to this will do well to put themselves in touch with the appropriate government officials.

More Dirt Road Aid

The Legislature has finally decided that 1t has to do something more to get the farmers out of the mud So the Sen- ate last week passed bill adding $1 ,000,- 900 year to the dirt road fund. This is now $3,000,000 which enables every one of the 169 towns to get about $17,500 year to be used in improving those streets and roads which ordinarily might not get attention. Of course the additional million doesn't add an awful lot to each individual grant, but this million taken from the Highway Department budget means great deal in forthcoming plans.
 On several occasions The Democrat voiced the opinion that If such dirt road fund increase meant abandonment of the fine plans for improving the Nau- gatuck Valley highway and shortening the distance between Waterbury and Bridgeport by means of a bypass at Derby, Ansonia, and Shelton, we'd nat ent S3,000,000 fund and not upsetting the department schedule for the next biennium In that period we were to wit ness the qualification of our Naugatuck Valley route Now we're not too sure.
 Highway Commissioner William J. Cox warned legislators several times that to increase the dirt road fund at this time at the expense of contemplated projects elsewhere would set back this work. It might also endanger numerous road jobs that are of vital importance to national defense We don't know if the legislators took this into account when they decided to "up" the dirt road fund, but If the increase was merely to satisfy rural legislators or to accomplish some other purpose, then really there is noth- ing gained.

curtaIlment in the use of gasoline for pleasure purposes only. In short the weekend jaunts of millions of Americans will have 10 be made as economically as possible. This is something new for 6 generation that has grown up on the Idea of plenty of everything if you have the money to pay for 1t. But those who went through the last World War will recall the fneatlesS, heatless, breadless days that the government encouraged and in which most of us participated willingly and patriotically.
 Secretary Ickes suggestion of a "gas- less Sunday" won't meet with the most enthusiastic response, for after all that's the one day now that hard-working populace, particularly in those areas where defense production iS running at peak, have on which to relax. And re- taxation for 8 good many of us simply means 8 long Sunday drive. However, if 1t becomes an absolute necessity, and judging by the seriousness of official con- cern, 1t will, there will be full compliance from the nation. Of that Washington can rest assured.

for happy marriage. But this can be said with conference.-the quail ities and virtues which give sig nificance to life outside the home are the ones which give significance to life inside the home. Honesty and truth-telling are probably the two virtues upon which the life of society at large is based, and like wise these two virtues lie at the basis of 8 happy home. Kindliness and consideration for others get us a long way in our relationships with our fellows, and in like manner they brighten home and make 1t a haven of quietness ana contentment. The world admires courage, and there is no place where it is any more needed than in the home when men and women face the necessity of making great decisions.
 Last of all, faith in 6 higher power than ourselves steadies our footsteps as we stumble along life s pathway, and Q home devoted to God and Church is just such home as our Lord was speaking of when He said. "Whogoever heareth these words of mine and doeth them, will liken him unto e wise man, which built his house upon q rock"

Views Of The Press

Inf. It is indicative of the tremen- dous disproportion between some of the present districts that this division would create two new dis tricts each of which would be larg- CT than many of those remaining untouched throughout the state.
 It is true that any really adequate redistricting is hampered by the constitutional provision prohibiting the crossing of any town or country lines. Nevertheless it would be pos- sible to reduce the number of dis- tricts within such thinly populated counties as Windham and Middle sex and apportion tho seats thus gained among such more populous counties as New Haven and Hart ford. The House representation by towns already gives those sparsely populated counties an unwarranted legislative influence. Holland County, for instance, has only 32,000 people yet 22 representatives, while New Haven has 160,O00 people and just two representatives. To permit those counties to retain. undue influence in the Senate as well is a 1egation of democratic principles.
 It is 70 years since any thorough redistricting has been done in Con- necticut. Under the state constitu- ton, 1t must be done If at all dur ing the session immediately fol- lowing the federal census. If noth- ing more is done during this ses- sion the opportunity will not recur until 1e5l. The Greenwich division is better than nothing. But it is not enough.

Selected Poem
MOUNTAIN WATER (Dora Read Goodale in the Christian Science Monitor)

 time and time my old grandsir ud say 1t: Don't yc reckon we'd find our way, to walk and
 go back Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains, up in Virginny? Seemed how he wanted to go so bad-so badl Twas like the thirst for draught of treestone
 water Naught else naught else can 'suage. He wanted back Jest once to sight the place where he'd run the footlogs When he was young and antic where he'd coursed
 the bees And fished the river, And seed the redbud and the bride-o' -the-woods blowth of bossoms and where he'd picked his
 banjo And footed 1t with the best; and kilt deer Or mebby not; and wrastled and gone a-courtin', And dreamed so big, so big! He wanted back, But he never did get to go Tis natur, do guess, And generated in us, the craving is To look one last on the plot of earth as bore us Afore we bid farwell. Seems can see my gran6sir yet, in the dooryard With his head bent over Like he was studyin' on somethn, And all of a sudden he'd straight up, and sing out: Gyurls! Don't ye reckon we-uns cd walk, and find our way And go back Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains up in virginny?

It won't produce any at all for IS months or two years, SO you can see that the government is planning for long pull
 Everybody will instantly recall the Muscle Shoals nitrate plants build dur ing the World War, which were not ready to produce until the war was over. Yet to build them was no doubt wise thing at the time. Possibly one of the best ways to shorten such emergencies is to prepare to see them through for many years if necessary.

Another vital point he studied was not mentioned In his broad- cast; because no one Is talking publicly about the fact that the British may have to withdraw from Gibraltar, even from the Mediterranean altogether. But In case of such a withdrawal, Q glance ct the map will show that these three sets of islands-the Azores, Canaries and Cape Verdes --could help to replace Gibraltar.
