WHEN Tommy Dorsey nomi.

WHEN Tommy Dorsey nomi-
" mates song as a potential
best-seller, it is only fitting that
the tune should typify some of the
musical qualities always associated
with the maestro himself.
Thus, as his selection for the
WEEKLY SONG HIT series,
the famed trombonist has chosen
a composition possessing many of
the characteristics that earned him
his title, "The Sentimental Gen
tleman Of Swing"
"The Night We Called 1t
Day" is smooth, ripping ballad.
drenched in tender sentiment and
the sweet sorrow of lovers parting.
In leitmotif, it is reminiscent of
I'll Never Smile Again" another
tune that Tommy launched on its
journey to the Hit Parade.
The song is the second in the
series of WEEKLY SONG
HITS selected for readers of this
newspaper BY Americas outstand-
ing bandleaders.
I'm very high on this song"
said Tommy. II think its bound
to have a strong appeal for many
Americans.
"The tempo is suitable for
dancing, and the words and music
are in good taste. Watch this
tune think you'll be hearing a
lot of it in the weeks to come"
On succeeding Sundays, other
ace orchestra leaders will nomi-
nate songs for the series, among
them Sammy Kaye, Eddy Duchin,
Guy Lombardo, and Benny Good
man.
None of the songs have as yet
been published, and readers are
thus given a chance to preview the
numbers that are destined to be-
come national favorites in the next
few weeks.
Glenn Miller presented his song
last Sunday, and the number
Dear Arabella"-is already being
played by bands throughout the
country, as well as being featured
by Miller's famous orchestra.
In effect, "The Night We
Called 1t a Day" represents a
union of Dorsey discoveries.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-11-02

Matt Dennis was young, am
bilious pianist, playing with small
coast combinations and writing
songs on the side when Dorsey
made his memorable visit to Cali
fornia a year ago.
His songs had attracted some
attention locally, but the big time
and Broadway seemed far away
when the traditional break"
arrived.
Someone told Tommy about the
talented young pianist. He asked
to hear some of his songs. The
rest is musical history.
His first for Dorsey-"Let's
Get Away From 1t All"-zoomed
to the top Of best-seller lists within
a few weeks. Others penned for
Dorsey-"Everything Happens to
Me" and "You Betcha My Life
also climbed high in popularity
polls. /I

sponsible for the smart lyrics of

A Thought for Today
More Tolls Promised

Representative T. Emmett Clarie, Dem- ocratic leader in the House of the General Assembly, spoke volumes when he warned fellow members that passage of the bill cutting motorists license fees to 50-cents would result in more highway tolls for Connecticut drivers. We are faced with the prospect of more tolls to pay for new bridges at Hartford and New London, not to mention continuation of the Wilbur l.. Cross Parkway, but if $2.50 is cut off the fee of every driver in the state, surely the Highway and Motor Vehicle Depart ments will have to make up this differ ence some way or another
 Representative Clarie might also have added that in addition to more tolls there probably will be demanded an increase in gasoline taxes Another cent or two added to this levy would probably make up the difference in the motorists fees. That much money just can't be sliced off departmental revenues right now without crippling the splendid work that Is being done with our roads. Not that we don't want to see license fees reduced. rate introduced in this state, especially for the benefit of those motorists who have been operating safely on our high ways for years and years.
 But we don't see how the present pace in highway construction can be main- tained if such big slash is now made in revenues. It will have to be made up in another way and we'll probably pay as much in the long run. Before all our legislators let themselves be carried away with this proposal, which was only COP campaign promise to begin with, they ought to find out just how much can be cut off the license fees without cur tailing the work planned for the next few years in highway expansion and maintenance.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-28
West Rock Bore

They're going to tunnel through West Rock, if you can believe the latest semi official comments from Hartford New Haven, and elsewhere. The plan to carry the proposed Wilbur L. Cross Parkway under this famed pile of trap-rock has been proved feasible by recent borings carried on to show just what the drillers might run into when they were forcing their way under the rock. These borings are said to have indicated that a tunnel could very easily be cut through West Rock with the possible total cost being about $60O,00O.
 A good many people wonder why this proposed new route must pass under West Rock. Well, the answer seems to be that Highway Department officials believe it is the cheapest thing to do. If the route were changed so that it could be carried around West Rock, it would cost considerably more than the $6O0,00O estimated for the tunnel So we can't say that the highway officials are merely doing this for an experiment or for the sake of making possible a big engineer ing project. It's more or less economy, judging by what the figures indicate.
 Actually the tunnel will be about one fifth of mile long and will be 173 feet below the crest of West Rock. It conse- quently is small as compared to some of the other vehicular tunnels around the country. While nobody has given much thought to it, we suppose that entrance and exit to this tunnel will provide handy spots for toll-stations. We don't think the state will let such a chance slip by to raise money to pay for the tunnel and the road, travel along which it is designed to facilitate.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-28

Note that the totalitarian ideal is the direct opposite. In Russia, single class, the proletariat, is conceded all power, and there are no inherent rights for any, body else except as the only permitted party, which claims to represent that proletarian class, chooses to grant them. In Germany and Italy single party has all the powers of government; whole races and classes are excluded from having any political and social rights except as that privileged class (party) chooses to grant them. The ideal, the goal, is diametrically opposite to our own.
 Now, republic A republic is simply scheme of government by elected repre- sentation. It might or might not be completely democratic, though today the two usually go together. There have been republics in which only small classes had any political or social rights. Our republic is democratic republic. Further, it is special kind of republic = fed eral state. That is, like Switzerland, one in which various political units (states here, cantons in Switzerland) are joined together in a central government made up of those units. A federal state might be neither a republic nor a democracy.
 The United States is all three. It is a federal union of states, forming cen- tral republican government = that is, a government run by popularly elected representatives of all the people, limited by a fundamental law or constitution adopted and modified by all the people. But most important, the United States is democracy; society consciously con- mitted to struggling always toward the shining goal of equal rights for all, special privileges for none. Long live our demo- cratic federal republic! ....
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-28
Our Democratic Federal Republic

We're all talking about democracy these days. But we don't always mean the same thing. We speak of the United States as democracy, and so it is in the broad sense, but that isn't the same thing as merely having republic. Let's try to define some of these things more closely, so that when we use the words we'll all know precisely what we're talk ing about. First, democracy. Democracy is a general condition of society, way of life, not mere form of government. It is a condition in which all men have equal rights, none has special privileges, and equal opportunities are open to all; in which all men join freely in governing themselves. Thus England, Norway, and Sweden, all monarchies, have been as much democracies as the United States many believe that Norway and Sweden have been more SO.
 The United States is democracy. It is not perfect democracy, of course, for it is here on earth, not in heaven. To the extent that all men do not have equal rights, that they do not have equal opportunities. that any has special privi- leges, to that extent we have failed to achieve democracy. But we have achieved a great deal, and democracy Is simply a struggle to achieve the democratic ideal.

25 Years of Cooperation

The Cooperative League celebrates its 18th anniversary this month This fed eration of consumer cooperatives was established March IS, 1916, the first broad effort to systematize the cooperative movement. At the end of those 25 years, nearly 100000 people are member owners of consumer co-operatives, and another 2,0O0,000 are members of credit unions of cooperative loan banks. The movement is now so widely accepted that both parties in 1940 adopted platform pledges to stimulate farm cooperatives. That is the field in which the cooperative movement has made the longest strides.
 No individual merchant has as much to fear from cooperative as from chain store competition. Meanwhile their steady growth seems to argue that they fill a need, and their essentially demo- cratic setup is best attested by the fact that both Fascist and Socialist govern ments kill them off at the first oppor- tunity.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-28

more than 10000 letters from all parts of the country asking for details about the plan.
 FLOATING DEFENSE HOMES
 Defense chiefs may soon inaugu- rate mobile housing units for de- fense workmen on the water as well as land, If the novel plan of Housing Coordinator Charles F. Palmer pans out.
 Negotiations are under way
 for the purchase of an excursion
 beat to alleviate 8 serious hOus- ing shortage at Portsmouth, . Virginia, where giant naval : construction project is under
 way. If successful here, the plan
 may be tried out at other sea-
 board defense centers. .. ..
 Palmer hopes eventually to have a number of these "floating ho- tels," which would eliminate the delay and expense of erecting sta- tionary housing units. The ships could be quickly connected to shore water and power lines and, once they have served their pur- pose. be moved to some other point. s~ sf z..1i
 The vessel Palmer is tiickering for as 8 starter is the Berkshire, an old New YorS-to-Albany night- liner which has been out of com mission several years. After re- conditioning, 1t will comfortably house about 600 workers. Present plans are to rent cabins at pre- vailing room- house rates, $5 8 week for single and $7 for double accommodations. <
 However, tiie deal is still up in the air over price. The Mari time Commission, which is acting as Paimer's agent and Samuel Rosoff, New York subway build CT who owns the Berkshire, haven't been able to get together on "a , figure. Rosoff thas turned a deaf ear to the Maritime Commissions offer of $65,000. > ; ( -

Things must be getting tougher on the New York Stock Exchange Only week or so ago seat was sold down there for $26,OOO which was unbelievably low, but this week seat sold for $25, 5,000 which has not been approximated since back in 1898 when a seat was sold for $19OOO. They don't say whether the Exchange di- rectors on that occasion directed mourn- ing bands to be adopted by all members, but certainly it must have seemed like the millennium. Back in the boom days of the 2Os Exchange seats were at pre- many of them. Things are bit soberer again with seats being bargained for be- fore bought.

New Haven is very seriously thinking about buying water plant. For years the city has bought water from the pri- vately-owned New Haven Water Com pany. But now there's bill before the Legislature which would let the voters of New Haven decide if they want to as- sume ownership of the plant themselves. Of course there's some doubt as to wheth- CT or not the water company would want to give up title And if it puts up good fight, even the proposed new public utilities laws might not force change of ownership Waterbury with its long years experience in public ownership of water supply could probably hand out some timely advice, but not certainly on how New Haven should go about buying wa ter plant. Our sole experience has been with the municipal water supply to which we have been adding ever since. The city has never got proper return on this in- vestment, but some day may realize on it.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-28

tunity sooner or later comes to all who work and wish, 1t is also true, as Schiller once wrote, that the May of life blooms only once. We have to know opportunity when it comes and be resolute in meeting 1t. But we should always remember that man must train himself to take his chance, else the coming of the chance win only make him ridi- culous. It has been said that a great occasion is worth to 6 man exactly what his antecedents have enabled him to make of it. It is well for us always to keep in mind that the way to be ready for great opportunities is by the wise handling of smaller opportunities, if we use the ordinary situations wisely, we can be sure that we will be ready to act resolutely when the extraordinary circumstance comes our way.
 We all have a fair turn to be as great as we please, and the wise man, as Bacon once said, always makes more opportunities than he finds.
 We best prepare ourselves to take advantage of opportunities by mani- festing a simple fidelity to what each day brings.
