A Sod Lack of Foresight

Only short time now until the motorists of America
will be held to maximum Of four gallons of gasoline
week. That will of course heavy curaiment of
for all of And that is the very purpose Of the
rationing As said recently by public official Let
it be understood that there shortage OF gasoline
Bue of and wearing out of tires must be essened
the nation will find its transportation in critical
dition And III adequate transportation is vital
Recognizing the necessity everyone should cooperate
fully in the rationing program We must win the and
it everyone patriotic duty to aid the effort every
possible way But recognizing the need and complying in
the relief program does not keep from thinking And
cannot help but feel how different it all could have
been had there been at the head of the nation with
wisdom enough to oresee what would happen in case OF
and they had laid the supply Of rubber that the
safety and needs of the nation required For months and
even years with Japan was known to be possibility

large part of crude rubber supply would be cut Off
Yet with that danger facing the nation permitted
to get caught in the dangerous condition find
selves IN Service stations and garages and gasoline pro-
dueng companies face eurtailmen that will put many Of
them out Of business and their employees must seek
poyent elsewhere. All of which could have been avoid

rubber.

Many Reasons For Thanksgiving

There may be touch of anxiety and sadness in the
hearts of Americans today they offer up their Thanks
giving to all-Wse Providence. Anxiety and sadness
because our nation finds itself in worldwide that
calls loved ones from homes all the land and stations
them places of desperate danger danger that VIII
bring suffering and death to countless thousands
Yet there are many sufficient why Americans
should give thanks despite the cruel shadows that darken
the land Those reasons not difficult to see
There is very little danger if any that enemy
horde will ravage and pfer the land Our cities far
free from the death that hurtes down out OF the skies
innocent women and children This still land Of plenty
even though may be called to deny ourselves some
few things have been accustomed to We Go not see
little children pale and haggard from the horrors OF starVa
ton We ST. BOAST that this is the land Of the free and
also the home or the brave The fundamental liberties
we prize SO highly still Those who SO IN
cned lift their hearts in thanks to their God without
fear hndrance from yrannlca government. We still
have freedom Of religion of speech and OF the press Here
in America the welfare of the individual paramount, he
has not been reegated to the place OF mere cog III
hearess alpoWerul state Here every man IS free to
follow his bent long he does not tread on the
rights of his neighbor-ee to seek his best develop
ment and to his liking To be sure, some OF these
privileges being curtailed for the present under the
need of winning war but that sacrifice all free
face if they determined to remain free and not
become slaves.
And not the least of the for thanksgiving is
the recognition that American and those of allies
are beginning win the onghoped victories victories
that we are certain will day the curse of war
from the world
While America pauses for brief hour or two to give
thanks beneficient Providence it is we'll to remember
that will until justice and fair dealing are
assured to all men the wide world round And in the CIV
ing of thanks will be well to add suppcaton that when
peace does come will be peace that will remove wrong
and exploitation from the weak peoples OF the World-a
peace tat will bring freedom and opportunity to them
For remember the God whom offers thanksgiving
has said that He respecer Of persons and that He
hates wrong ard injustice.
Yes, there many things for which to give thanks
today In addition TO those that touch on Worldwide Wor-
res and problems there the old-me homev blessings
that life brings to all Of We still live in beautiful
world Of sunshine and flowers singing birds and laughing
children There the love of relatives and the inspiration

Life has its exasperations and its troubles but its pleas

Three Stors
In Stirring
Movie Dromo

Three wealthy sisters who live in
a snacious home that is daily seep
ing into greater stage of decay,
and who are obviously trying to
keep dark some closely guarded
secret of the past. is the intriguing
story of Warner Bros. newest film,
THE Gay Sisters" which comes
Sunday and Monday. Nov. 20, 80 to
the Kootenai theatre,
The picture features a brilliant
cast made up of Barbara Stanwyck,
George Brent, Geraldine Fitzger-
aid. Nancy Coleman and fine
newcomer for whom film critics
and previeW audiences alike predict
bright future, Gig Young
The story is adapted from the
best-selling novel by Stephen Long
street. whose powerful writing was
transplanted in all its strength from
print to finn The three Gaylord
sisters, (nicknamed the Gay sis
ter" by the press) Fiona, Lady
Burton and Susanna, played re-
spectively by Barbara StanWyck,
Geraldine Fitzgerald and Nancy
Coleman, are theoretically worth a
fortune but are actually UP to their
necks in debt. This situation is due
to the fact that one Charles Bar
clay, played by George Brent, has
contested their fathers will and has
managed to keep the case in various
courts for over 20 years in the hope
that the Gaylords would be forced
to sell him their property. But FL
ona. who had it instilled in her
from childhood that Gaylord nev.
or sells the land, has another more
personal reason for refusing to give
in to Charles Barclay. It is her sec

OIL SHORTAGE
IN NORTHWEST
Is UNNECESSARY

Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Mon
tana is urging upon the federal gov
eminent that the gasoline shortage in
the Pacific northwest can be remedied
by opening up the oil fields Of Mon
tana and Wyoming and moving re-
fined products into Idaho, Oregon and
Washington, to replace long-haul gaso-
line and fuel oil now coming from
California.
when an oil shortage In the east
was first discussed several months
ago." the senator said, Il suggested to
Co-ordinator O1arold L. Ickes that
his office could release thousands of
tank cars to feed eastern points by
allowing Montana and Wyoming fields
to increase their output and serve the
northern and western states"
$50 far as I know" he continued,
nothing was ever done about it,"
Senator Wheeler said he could see
no good reason why production should
be restricted in Montana and Wyo-
ming under a ''So-called conservation
program" while tanker boats and rail-
road cars were tied up in bringing oil
into the territory from Texas and
Oklahoma.
The Montana senator defended his
campaign to bring more war industries
into the state on grounds the move
ment of raw materials mined or grown
in Montana to other regions for
processing caused unnecessary strain
on the country's transportation ia
ctlitieS.

Remember Pearl Harbor

The governments theme for this anni- tcrsary weekend, not unnaturally, is Re member Pearl Harbor" To which Washington publiciSts add the admoni- ton: Work - Fight - Sacrificed" Our theme for the anniversary also is Re -l ,mber Pearl Harbor" But we are free, government publicists are not, to i member Pearl Harbor from an angle | 5re important than the hate-breeding { .achery which the immoral JapS lowed on December ', 194l.
 We do not belittle that treachery or it's l son. We learned that day that we were dealing with savageS, by whom none of the amenities of civilization are accepted. We learned that this war will u1t be fought under gentlemen's rules; { a.t the law of the jungle is the only 'l.N; that gouging, scratching, biting, ~ liSm are the orders of the day. But <, learned also that the little brown men G. Nippon are no ridiculous little push c,ers, inefficient imitatorS of their betterS, x nepinS to be boWled over with single twist.
 We discovered a year ago today that we lad been too complacent about the JapS; at in spite of ample warnings we were
 st asleep while the NipponeSe prepared lJ stab us in the back; that our high , .amand had not done it's duty for us. ,..c prime sentiment today should be
 me that we permitted the conditions { exist which made the tragedy of Pearl
 lrbor possible, and resolution that those aditions shall be wiped out lmme- , tely.
 We might also feel little gratitude lvard the Japanese high command TOT oting us know what we were up against, r) that we could get started fast, correct t.,v our weaknesses, wedding out the inet- iaient, tightening our belts for a real var. If we had learned the lesson Of Fearl Harbor when it was thrust into our sces, this viewpoint would be only vicious rarping. Unfortunately we did not learn the lesson Even today, there are too many in high places who refuse to accept $ implications, who feel that as soon as we find few spare moments we can slap tne Japs as one would a few mosquitoes.
 It is long past time that we walked up. Let us honor the brave men and women vho have died, many unnecessarily, m he struggle thus far. Let us thank God hat we escaped paying the full price oI cur short-SightedneSS. And then, sllghtly 0araphrasing the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln:
 Let us highly and actively resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have new birth of more understanding devo- . jon; that we shall work, fight, sacritlce s until government of the people, by the people, for the people shall be the privl- lege of any nation that wants 1t.

Fall In Line

The State Motor Vehicle Department doesn't intend to fool around with observ- ance of the dim-out regulations through the several Connecticut areas where they apply. If you happen to live in one Of the island" areas, and you certainly do II vour residence is Waterbury, don't go con- lrary to the new laws If you don't know what they happen to be, it's easy enough to find out. And ignorance of these reg ulationS, is no excuse.
 Commissioner John T. Mccarthy has indicated that his department expects complete compliance with the law. He has announced that therell be license suSpen- sions where motorists have deliberately flouted the law. And the same holds good, too, he says where motorists olS- obey any ordinances that have been set up by communities to facilitate their war effort That applies in particular to speed limits.
 Any war is time of inconvenience for the peoples concerned. But what we are going through is nothing compared to the lot of the nations over which the actual warfare is raging. We may complain little bit about our sacrifices, but we should do lot of rejoicing that our land is not invaded by the enemy, our cities devastated. Yes, it should be fairly easy to cooperate with the Motor Vehicle De- partment in this emergency.

For a War Department

Colonel Maas of the Marines, fighting congressman from Minnesota, proposes that there should be single War Depart ment in place of the present "War" (actu- ally the Army) and Navy departments, and that a single committee in each House of Congress should handle all war legislation This proposal is so sane, m view of the interrelation of the various services in modern fighting, that there can be no logical debate. But there will be debate, and administrative consolida- tion now is very unlikely.
 However, Congress, seeking to reout criticism becoming efficient, is not estopped from putting all war legislation through single committee of each House Such step might well tend toward the ultimate administrative reform.

over the selection of two officials, 1t seems a good idea, if it can be done, Go eliminate as much of the arguing as possible. If this could be done by a concentration of effort there's something gained. Rather than go through the upsetting process of battling for both new chairman and a new committeeman, there might be some thing for the Democrats to think about in combining the two offices in the one man.
 Naturally with number of avowed can didates already for the two offices, there is little chance that Democrats would agree to the idea of settling the two jobs on the one man. However, it has been done and could still be done effectively, if the proper choice were made. Whether or not it's a good idea is another point of argument. But for the sake of harmony within the ranks, which the Democrats certainly need, the idea might be worth considering and developing,

A new and fresh appeal is being made to employers of Connecticut to be wary of employing boys and girls under l6 years of age. The State Board of Educa- tion has entered the fight against employ ment of minors by pointing out that the youth of this state, as well as every state, need all the education they can get to- day, because of the military demands that are being made of them at the early age of 18. With boys now being drafteo as of this age it is going to mean, pernaps, that few of them will advance beyond the high school graduation status until af1er the war is over. The 16 to 16 year class oI boys, to be sure, is essential today, just as are all classes of employables, but the facg remains that their schooling is just as vital. Work outside of school hours can be engaged in by these youngsters, but lt should be regulated and certainly snoula not be on the same scale as that partlci- pated in by those not engaging m otaer activities. In short the demand is not TOT all school and no work, but neither IS IL for over-indulgence in manual labor,
