A Thought for Today
Defense Stamps in Every Till

We Americans go to town = but some- times we are little casual about getting around to doing the unaccustomed things that translate our good intentions into action. Helping in National Defense, for instance. We all want to help. If we are the average people earning pretty good money in these times of plenty, we know we should be putting away some of those U s. Defense Bonds, not only to assist our Government but to do ourselves a favor. Of course, lots of us have.
 The Treasury Department has made it easy for everybody to buy Defense Saw ings Bonds. All we need is enough De- fenSe Savings Stamps to fill a Stamp album which can be exchanged for a Defense Savings Bond with $25 to $100 in 10 years, an increase in value of B 1-3 percent. Simplel The trouble is remem- bering to buy those Defense Savings Stamps regularly
 Now, thanks to the cooperation of a million retail merchants in every city and town, the Treasury has made 1t just about impossible for you to forget, For wher- ever you go to spend money Defense Saw ings Stamps will be right at the cash TeRlSIST. SO, WIllS yOu Law ySbA AAiSAASJ out, there Is the opportunity immediately at hand to buy Defense Savings Stamps which, as they multiply through system atic purchase, will become your Defense Savings Bonds.
 Those Bonds will represent savings sure to be useful when the war is over and readjustments begin. Moreover, the money you put into Bonds will be taken out of earnings that might otherwise go for luxury and other goodS. Such vide spread spending when the national 1n- come is mounting causes heavy consumer demand, leading to inflation. Therefore, by purchasing Defense Savings Stamps in stores where you trade - the easy, can't-forget method - you are not only aiding our Government to arm but &C., cumulating savings for yourself and hold ing down the cost of living.
 Encourage the merchants and the two and a half million retail store employees selling Defense Savings Stamps during Retailers -for-Defense Week, September IS to 20, and thereafter in the vast national-scale effort on behalf of the Treasury's Defense Savings Program. Purchase Savings Stamps. Take them as change.
 Soon you will have one or more Defense Savings Bonds - proof that you nave done your part to make America strong; that you have put a nail in the barrier against imitation; and set Up a reserve of savings for yourself. When you buy anything, any time, at any store - Buy Defense Savings Stamps, too

We Wasteful Americans

It has often been said that we Ameri- cans are the most wasteful people in the world, and that French peasant family could live on what an American family throws away. That's probably exagger- ated, but the fact remains that American homes are cluttered with discarded ma terials that could be used now. We col lected enough aluminium to build hun dreds of bombers, and everybody is still cooking, so far as we've heard. RuSting jaloppieS and abandoned street-car tracks are going into steel smelterS.
 Now even paper is needed. The OPM Conservation Bureau is asking that waste paper be saved for later collection in B large cities. Plans for collection in lndi- vidual cities will be announced later. Whats the military use of this? Every six dozen army shirts turned out, for ln- stance, are packed in an 11-pound paper board container; 30000 tons of paper board each month are used in packing shells. Waste paper around the house is a fire risk. Eliminate it, and help defense at the same time.

citizen population, while our congress sional districts in New York, as in any other state are based on total population.
 Such a breakdown in the population figures was never planned for this state because we have no law demanding that our senatorial districts be based on citi- zen population. The constitution pro- vides for definite number and they are supposed to be as equal in population size as is possible while conforming to all other requirements of territorial ex- pansion. In New York, though, as in Connecticut the last congressional re- apportionment was in 1911 and legisla- ture in 1917. Our last legislative reap portionment was longer ago than that.
 Ten years must pass now before any, thing can be done with reapportion- ment. It doesn't seem to do much good to urge some sort of a permanent com mission to study the matter for we've been doing that for the past two decades and not apparently being heard at Hart ford.

High Bridge!

Highway construction throughout the state seldom proceeds beyond the point where there isn't discussion of a new bridge. While Connecticut is not great big state its smaller size plus the fact that 1t borders on Long Island Sound accounts for a large number of fair sized rivers which demand correspond ing large number of bridges spanning them wherever there are highways. In the old days before the automobile had been popularized there were fewer cross ings and in the case of big stream like the Connecticut ferries were relied upon.
 There was plenty of water navigation, too, in those days and of course bridges were always an annoyance on navigable streams. Few of them were high enough to allow vessels to pass underneath and draW-bridgeS always were a source of considerable delay. All of which leads up to the fact that the highway bridge across the Connecticut River at Say brook is now considered out-of-date. It's not relic of the horse-drawn age, eith- CT. It came in with the automobile, but was of the draw type in view of the fact that the Connecticut River at this point is pretty busy.
 Now officials of both town and state feel that new bridge, high one per- mitting all vessels to pass underneath is required. While the matter isn't of- ficially under State Highway Depart ment scrutiny, it probably will be before very long. If 1t is 1t will be just one more in series of great road projects that are planned for this state, many of them now in the process of being completed. Eventually our highway system should be what many of us have dreamed 1t will be.

High Cost of Apportionment

It may be just as we'll that the State of Connecticut through the 1941 Legisla- ture did not call for reapportionment of the existing congressional districts. All of us know what headache it is, be- cause of the difficulties experienced in getting legislators to agree on new dis Erict lines. In New York State, though, where reapportionment seems to be al- most an annual problem, the solonS have agreed to give the Federal Census Bur eau $52,500 to break down 1940 census Gigures SO that the state might be prop erly redistricted.
 What the bureau plans to do is to supply the state officials with figures showing the alien and citizen popula- ton block by block in the larger cities. The task will require about five or six months to complete. It may seem odd to have to secure such figures as these, but New York state law requires that Sem ate and Assembly district be based on

To the ex. tent, moreover, thSt such leglsla' ton would be opposed on Che ground that it constitutes unwar. ranted interference with what is, in many cases, a family enterprise, the opposition would have a measure of justification.

CONDITIONS IN THE TOBACCO
 FIELDS
(Hartford Courant)

About this time of year, a local almanac might read watch out for charges of deplorable conditions in the tobacco fields of Connecticut. This year they have come in the form of 6 letter by the Commission CT of Labor charging that in many fields the conditions under which young children are working are such as to ''inflriate" any fair minded persons, and the examples that he cites are indeed challeng- ing Yet in an interview the Com- missioner made plain that the con- ditions that have aroused him are not general, but rather are confined largely to farms owned by large corporations. To some extent at least the Commissioner and the president of the Shade Tobacco Farmers of the Connecticut Valley would seem to be in substantial agreement.
 At the same time. eyen if the conditions of which MT. Danaher speaks prevail on but 10 per cent of the farms, they exist too widely to be tolerated. Apparently the Commissioner is of the opinion that the situation will not be improved until the Department of Labor has had the same powers with regard to the agricultural industry that it already possesses with regard to the

 Note: The White House and Democratic leaders SO far have kept out of the fight, but not the isolationicts. They are see cretly trying to line up support for Cannon because of his vote against the service extension bill. MERRY-GO-ROUND

Down in New York City the Board of Education has just abolished an old de- partmental rule. In the past, persons who came in contact with children suf- fering from the measles were required to absent themselves from school for 14- day period. This quarantine wasn't con- fined to New York, of course, as many communities, including Waterbury, en- forced similar rule that contacts" had to stay out of school until 1t was reason ably certain they hadn't contracted the disease. Now our rules permit those in the same house with a measles case to remain in school New York education officials believe that they will save at lease $350000 by this ruling This is represented by $150,0o0 saving annual ly in substitute teachers salaries plus a $200,0o0 saving annually in state aid.

 The Ways and Means commit- tee, still groggy from the ordeal of drafting the $S,600, 900 900 de- fense tax bill, will have another problem on its hands when the House reconvenes today. To some members, this will be tougher than the tax bill.
 Democratic members of the committee must meet and choose the winner in the bitterest two- man battle for a chairmanship Capitol Hill has witnessed In many moon.
 The battle is for the chairman ship of the powerful House Ap- propriations committee, vacated by the recent death of eS-year- old Representative Edward T. Taylor of Colorado. The rival claimants come from opposite wings of the Democratic party. They are:
