The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-04

in Waterbury, like 90 many other cities, there have flourished many hyphenated groups. Tn achieving some purpose they defeat more important one.
 For purely social purposes the preser- vation of racial lines is excusable, but they are injected into other phases of our daily life they immediately set up barriers that make for isolationist groups. All sorts of petty jealousies to which the human race is subject increase as a result. AnimoSities are aroused and feelings too often run high. No, we believe that in this glorious land of ours the racial line should be just American. We need have no apologies for the land or GUS toms of our forefathers if they came from over the seas, but for us 1t should be America first, last, and always.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-04
What Price Civilization?

It has often been said nockingly that all white men were immigrants or de- scendants of immigrants. The only real 100 per cent Americans, it was added, were the Red Indians, found in the vest ern hemisphere when Europeans first be- gan active and extensive exploration in the 18th century But now 1t is asserted that long before the Indians reached much of a state of culture, the western hemisphere had been inhabited by hu- man beings probably for 25,000 years. Scientists base this upon discoveries In caves in New Mexico and elsewhere and by study of United States geological history. 5l .~ It's a dizzying vista of 26O centuries they picture tous, and yet, after all those myriad years, our So-called civilization is presenting to use what primitive man, armed with his club, his spear and his stone hatchet, knew all about-the wholesale killing of man which is called war,

Americans, One and All

It's too bad the racial issue had to be injected into the Waterbury city elec- ton. The Republican candidate for mayor, Patrick Perriello, denies that he did so, but the indisputable evidence was presented to editors of all the local newspapers Sunday night by the Demo- cratic party. His name signed to an article In an Italian newspaper clinched the argument that Mayor Vincent A. Scully advanced earlier last week when he said that he regretted that his oppon- erlt saw fit to claim this was a racial elec- ton and not one merely of parties.
 Personally we think 1t Is too bad that politics or any activity in Waterbury must De waged along racial lines. After all we are all Americans here or if we aren't we are foreigners enjoying the same life of liberty that Americans do by virtue of their very fine sense of equal ity and justice. If we have arrive6 at the point where we must appeal to a1y group by virtue of our race it certainly should be simply because WIG are Americans and nothing else. Et is linfCrtunate, too, that

AGreater Hartford

We suppose 1t was but a natural step for Hartford and erlvironS to consider an amalgamation of all interests following close on the heels of creation of a Metro politan Water District. Right now one of the paramount topics of discussion in Hartford, Bloomfield, Wethersfield, New ington, Windsor. and East Hartford Is consolidation. or course talk hasn't reached the point yet where there &C., tually is too much possibility of great Hartford being created out of all these townships, but there Is always a possibility of the same.
 Having pooled their mutual interests so far as water and sewage is concerned the same towns might find other advantages in consolidation. We doubt, though, if these communities surrounding Hartford, most of them with an ancient and treas ured tradition as old as the states itself want to be lost in the identity Of the states capital as alluring as this may sound. And you can't blame them for desiring to preserve their independence. Few towns are willing to sacrifice all 1, rights just for the sake of being part of . larger community.
 The thought of Hartford that would include such vast territory and so many peoples is eye-opening. Hartford would in all likelihood become the second city of New England, outranking both Provi- dence and Worcester In area and popula- ton. It would be, naturally, the me- . tropolis of the tsate and vitally irn- portant one. But at the same time 2 number of smaller, but old-established towns would lose their identity and their past, swallowed Up in the mother town. 1. Few Connecticut towns, however small, relish this. We don't think the metro politian idea will ever get to the point that six or seven towns will voluntarily annex themselves to the capital.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-04

Several times during the campaign ending today here in Waterbury oppo- nents of Mayor Vincent A. Scully's re- gime have claimed that he has been de. laying projects so that they could be used by him as means of swaying votes. The Baldwin Street bridge, the East End school gymnasium, Bank Street paving were cited as typical of political efforts to win the public's favor. That is always the claim of the candidates who are seek ing to upset the party in power, It usually isn't possible for public officials nowadays to time their activities so that they'll do the most good around election time. And even If they could here in Waterbury we doubt If Mayor scully would have much use for such tactics. He is too straightforward and too conscien- tious to bother about making certain events work to his advantage at the polls. still, 1t only goes to prove that political warfares are being conducted today just as they were years ago.

The Coffee Hemisphere

It is a matter both of conjecture and dispute as to whether coffee originated in Ethiopia or Arabia. However, the Arabs cultivate 1t seriously, and to this day wherever you find Arabs and water, there you will find the stimulating beverage being brewed But like so many other things, coffee supremacy has shifted to the new world. Americans-North, South and Central-grow more coffee and drink more of 1t than any other people on earth. Latin America in recent years has been responsible for almost 85 per cent of the coffee supply in the whole world.
 One-half the coffee in the world is con- sumed by the people of the United States. Taking the western hemisphere as whole, coffee consumption there is 60 per cent of the worlds total. Gimme anoth- CT cup of cawfee" seems to be the con. stant demand in English, Spanish and Portuguese on this side of the ocean.

Undertaking Women

CoSmetologiSts recently met and viewed with alarm. What they viewed and what Alarmed them was that the American government said it was going to devote the great bulk of the country'S metal SUD- plies to the purposes of national defense. It might even Starve industries which were considered non-eSSential. That meant probability that soon metallic containers for nail dyes, lipStickS, rouge and face creams and aluminium for perm Hnent wave machines would be things Nf the past.
 Wherefore the cosmetologists Solemnly passed resolutions that beauty require r'nentS should be given high priority rat Ing. One orator went so far in her elo- quence as to assert that the whole ques- lon of women's morale was involved She said the modern woman just could not get along without aids to beauty. The assembled experts were probably too pes Sir1istic. If the nation needs all the metallic supplies, inventive geniuses will probably soon find substitutes helpful to the beauty business. AS to women's morale being wrecked by lack of rouge < so give an artificial bloom to their cheeks to mere man 1t seems just the bunk
 The first American women who came over in that famous immigrant ship, the "Mayflower", got along without any beauty aids. They were too busy doing their noble share in the country's story. So 1t has been whenever American women have been called to face an emergency. They have always measured up to what ever was required of them. If the present defense effort causes waveless hair, rougeless cheeks and dyeless nails, there is a very strong probability that the wo- men of today will live through the ex- perience. Nature will come to their aid. The wind will be the artist. It will beat a wholesome blush into women's cheeks and tousle their locks into the most en- chanting whirlS. And-no bills to pay.

It's funny the way the air transport business goes. There will be long pe- riod of comparative safety SO far as acct dents are concerned. Then all of sud- den there will be bad crash, involving loss of life, and then another and another. They seem to occur in punches. Of course it's natural that there should be cer- tain number of fatal accidents involving air travel, just as the law of averages keeps the number of motor crashes up to a certain level. However, air travel has become remarkably safe of recent years compard to some years back and the air lines can be proil of their records de- spite the recent IIscouraging disasters.
