Be Not Afraid
By Ruth Taylor

Too many of us are in the grip
of fear today. 1t is a fear that
is blind, unreasoning, devastating
in its effect. We could not say of
what we are afraid. One thing is
certain, it is not a purely physi-
cal fear. It is a fear of the chang
es that war will bring, of the new
hardships, the untried difficulties,
the loss of old landmarks, of GER
tain securities that were dear be-
cause they were familiar. 1t is a
fear of being afraid.
There is no need to be ashamed
of fear. Fear actually signifies
a form of foresight, an ability to
see ahead, to imagine a possible
evil. But it is lacking the vision
which enables us to see beyond the
ultimate good. The half versed
traveller looking up at the lower
ing clouds sees bad weather, but
the trained pilot thinks beyond
to the upper sky and a clear pas
sage above the clouds.
What is important about fear
is the power to conquer it. 1t is
this ability to be afraid and not
give way to fear that lifts man
above the animals. 1t is the power
to pause and wait-not run n blind
terror, to go ahead and walk stea-
Oily not only in face of danger, but
in spite of fear. To meet a fear
face to face and not be logged
by its hot breath at the back of
the neck-that is the mark of
man.
Whenever I'm afraid, which is
often, I think of an English lad
who died twenty and more years
ago. He conquered fear. He lost
his life, but even in the dying,
left source of strength to others.
He was a timid child. but he was
taught to fight fear. His sister
told me how he would be thefirst
to. do the daring things, because
he was afraid. He feared the dark
so he always went first. He feared
horses, so he put his pony at the
stiffest jumps. He would say, I'm
the one that's afraid, SO I'll do it."
He hated war, suffering, blood-so
he went out with the 'Old Con-
temptibles" and was killed in the
Mons retreat, staying behind with
a wounded soldier. But he still
lives. His brother, when praised
for his own courage, would only
say, IT couldn't let Noel down
and I was afraid"
It is that kind of courage we
need today. The courage that will
enable us to say, Il dread what
is coming-but can face it." Fear
is never half so bad when you walk
up to it.

 Be Staged Tomorrow

Tuesday night at 8:30 the Nine O'Clock Opera Company at the Waterbury Women's Club will pre- sent the modern version of "The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart. An all American cast of fine young musicians will sing the principal roles. There will be 8 narrator to supply the background, and a pian- ist to give support to the whole. An evening of musical joy is antici- pated.
 This is. the second concert of the F'ne Arts Series sponsored by the Mattatuck Musical Art society. The well known eighteenth century opera with all its lovely airs will be sung in its entirety. It ranks among the greatest lyric operas. It was first performed in 1786, and one hundred and fifty-six years later the op- portunity comes for local music lov- CTS to see and hearth the 20th cen tury version. New York city's severest critics gave it splendid mo- tices, and this new manner of opera presentation seems to be perman- ently established.

 "DOn'ts" to Reduce Hazards in Connecticut

 2. "Don'ts" during blizzards, snow or sleet storms: Don't take your car out if unprepared forconditions; you may have an accident or get stalled and tie up essential traffic, possibly vital to the war effort. Don't expect to drive along normally. It takes three to II times normal distance to stop on snow or ice without tire chains, and you can't negotiate slip pery hills with bare tires that spin on pocked snow. Spinning, particu- larly when stuck in deep snow, digs toa pavement, grinds off rubber wastes gas. Use chains or get tow.
 3. Tn the event of an air raid alarm. Dos" when sirens sound: Park car. Turn off all lights. Set hand brake. Lock ignition. Get out Seek shelter. Don't lock your car doors. It may have to be moved by hand or other means.
 While gasoline rationing and pa triotic driving economies will great ly reduce total mileage this winter the amount of essential motor vehi- cle usage. that is cars and trucks which have, to get through danger ous weather and road conditions will probably increase, the commits sioner pointed out. This will be par ticularly true in war production areas, suburban and rural communi- ties where rail or bus service may not be able to handle all of addi- tional loads which storm weather always brings to common carriers
 Labor shortage for snow removal and the fact there is no new blowing machinery available, may aggravate conditions in some communities, 1t was said. Highway departments have also been warned to save blow blades by not scraping close to the surface Vital industrial and military areas will be cared for first.

 Need to keep skid-wrecks and snow-ice stalled traffic at min- imum this winter is obvious" Com missioner Mccarthy declared, "and war-workers and other essential civilians who must drive regardless of weather should be prepared to get there safely and on time.'"
 He suggested that wartime winter driving rules based on research by the National Safety Councils Con- mittee on Winter Driving Hazards be given immediate consideration. They follow:
 1. Major hazards of winter driv- ing are inadequate traction and re- duced vision. Dos" for snow or ice-covered roads: Reduce speeds below even the new 35 m. p. m. linn it. Put ON your anti-skid chains to get through, and get through safe-

Local Participation in Na= tiOnwide Campaign in
 Evidence Today

A drive to have every employe of the American Brass Go. pledge at least 10 per cent of his pay for the purchase of war bonds was started today It is being carried on in ev- cry American Brass mill and office in the country.
 Labor-management committees of the firm expect that the drive will be complete in comparatively short time, since many employees are al- ready investing at least 10 per cent of their salaries or wages in bonds.
 The drive Is being carried on in cooperation with the U. s. Treasury department. Similar campaigns are underway in other local factories.
 There were brief halts in produc- tion today to give employees an op- portunity to sign up.
 Anthony Bosco. head of the labor section of the committee, said today that Treasury TT" award will be made by the government soon to the company and to Local 251, Mine Mill 6 Shelter Workers union.

CAUSES OUTLINED
 FOR DELINQUENCY
Many Youngsters Leaving School to Accept POsi-
 tiOns in Factories

Increasing juvenile delinquency is credited by local educational off, cials here to lack of parent super vision and premature entrance of young people into the labor field. Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superintend- ent t'of schools. speaking of the local delinquency problem. states too many working parents are failing to give attention to their children, who in turn are determining all of their activities without any guid- ance.
 Enrolment i7 the local high schools this year decreased as many of the pupils entered industrial plants. Authorities feel that in many cases the new workers have been too young to leave their stud- les and have been moved unreason- ably by wartime opportunities.

 An inefficient furnace, or good one inefficiently run, is a wicked waster of fuel and this winter, more than ever before, you should get the most out of your heating plant and the coal you put into it.
 According to Anthracite Indus tries, the Pennsylvania associa- ton of coal producers, most peo- pie - even longtime coal users - don't know as much about their furnaces as they should. And that can be underlined for those who have recently converted from oil heating and for the little woman who, now that the man of the house is in the service, has to do the chores herself.
 Proper control of draft is the all important key to efficient operation of furnace, according to heating experts. Draft is controlled chief ly by three Hampers" found on the ashpit door; CD the smoke pipe check damper," which is the famil- far small trap-door device on the smoke pipe, and (3D the turn" damper, inside the smoke pipe, but closer to the furnace.
 If you are lucky enough to own thermostat, or can get one, most of your draft worries will be taken care of automatically. But most people will operate the draft by hand, and here is the ideal morn- ing and evening routine, as worked out by the experts:
