will men who want action for ac-

helping to win the war, have bet

CT men and essential supplies from
America to distant battle zones,
literally live with action and ad-
venture, according to veterans of
this Navy arm.
Out of the more than $500 men
Arizona has given the Navy since
Pearl Harbor, good number have
chosen the submarine service be-
cause they thrill to the thought CT
real, pulse stirring adventure and
a chance to strike at the Axis gang

them the most-their supply lines.

Yum, Yum, Maple Sugar!

If Connecticut agriculturistS have their
say this season may see beautiful crop
of maple sugar harvested throughout
Connecticut. At least it has been
preached seriously with the idea of help
ing to solve sugar shortage by increas-
ing the use of maple sap and its deriva-
tiveS Whether or not Connecticut can
marshall it's resources to harvest worth
while crop in the few weeks is doubtful.
At least we don't think that the industry
can reach the proportions it does in Ver-
mont or New York state without suffi-
cient preparations.
There's no doubt but what lot OF
maple sugar could be made in Connecti-
cut this spring, because the state has a
great many trees capable of being tapped.
But there's more to it than just simply
making an inciSion through the bark OF a
Sugar-maple. The process, while not any
more complicated today than it was in
the days when it was part of every
farms routine, is more or less stream
lined. And there has to be feveriSh actlvl-
ty while the sap is flowing for Nature
doesn't wait until mankind gets around
to taking the juice of these maple trees.
You get it when it's rising up in the thick
trunks.
There are such things as supplies to be
procured and don't think they can be dug
up in the twinkling of an eye. Sure, it's
easy to whittle spout from an elder bush
and this can be inserted in a tree, allow
ing the precious sap to drip into pail.
But from then on the work begins, plen-
ty of it. The sap has to be boiled and
boiled and boiled. If you've never done
this, don't experiment in your spotless
kitchen. 1t should be done outside or in
shed convenient to the maple grove. BY
rights you should have prepared for the
sap season earlier in the winter Sap is
running now and must be gathered now.
Oh, shucks, let's wait and buy bar OF
maple sugar.

A Thought for Today
O'Shea. Prochaska, Kaz & Co.

That is the name of an American firm
that until recently was doing business III
the islands of Wake and Guam. color
full and picturesque combination-O'Shea,
Prochaska and Kaz! The company is
out of commission for the time being,
while the Japs extend their thrust SOUTH
ward throughout the Pacific, overcoming
resistance by force of Overwhelming
numbers. But you'll hear these names,
or names very much like them before
long, for there are thousands OF O'SheaS,
Prochaskas and Kaz's all over the United
States.
O'Shea, ProchaSka and Kaz are three
names selected at random from the nSk
of gallant soldiers taken prisoner ny the
cohorts of the Son of Heaven. Somehow
the trio suggest a Notre Dame backhelo
of Fighting Irish. Or, they might pc
members of a prosperous law firm. But
to us the important thing they suggest IS
America. These men are symbols OF the
land they are defending with Their olooo
because it is a country where IL makes
no difference whether mans name De
Kaz or Cohen or Montmorency CaSWeH
Blvthe-Whittington as far as the essen
tials are concerned.
O'Shea. Prochaska and Kaz are not
Mayflower names, but they speak OF many
ships from every realm under the sun
These boys grandfathers and grand
mothers pinched and saved their pennies
looking ahead to the golden day When
thew might embark in a crowded Steerage
and sail to the land of promise. Here IN
America their forefatherS found WhaC
they had dreamed about in marrow,
nreiudiced Europe = freedom that eH-
ceeded even their deepest longlngS. 80
sweet was their escape from repression
and tyranny that they were willing 10
fight to defend for their children the new
liberty, and in turn their children are
ready to resist with their lives the dangers
that now menace America.
The roster of prisoners taken at wake
and Guam speaks more eloquently IMAM
a conoressman's labored words OF WhaU
the Star-Spangled Banner really means
In our far Pacific outposts Diederlch
fought beside Terfansky and Zarlonga
and BendenSki and Zivko. Japan's son
of Heaven and Germany'S Son OF Hell
look lust alike to men such as tneSe.
O'Shea, Prochaska and Kaz carry no BAN
ner of racial superiority and hatred. They
are the children of freedom fighting 1or
themselves and for the free generations
that will be born long after the names OF
Hitler and Hirohito have reverted to Ine
aust.

No Special Sessions

It usually doesn't take anything so I'M
portant or serious as war TO prlng ouU
q demand for a special legislative session.
Gov. Robert A. Hurley has just mad MS
first chance to refuse to call the LeglS-
lature into special session. There are lew
of our governors who don't get this OPP
portunity. Occasionally one OF them Will
accede to the demand But not this tl1ne'
The governor sees no need OF summon
ing legislators to Hartford to discuss the
question of fair rents.
AS a matter of fact most of our Con-
necticut communities that have any nous
ing problems today have already deSlg-
mated fair rent agencies. To these groups
are entrusted the Job of separating the
wheat from the chaff. They must declde
which complaints of tenants are legltl-
mate ones and then act accordingly. VI
course it may be that some of the COM
rnittees aren't taking the proper steps 10
prevent rising rentals, but if that's the
case it may all be traceable to a tendency
to explore thoroughly before making ser
ious charges against any landlord.
There is always the trouble of special
Legislative session wandering far afield.
II NAV be called for one specific purpose,
but before it can be thoroughly organized
and the point at hand discussed some
thing else is apt to intrude and then
members are off at tangentS. We thor
oughlv agree with the governor that there
is ADEQUATE authority now created for
r7roner consideration of the rental sltua-
fion. If the same is not forthcoming IN
der these circumstances we doubt II any
laws the General Assembly might draw
IN would be any better.

Every place is having it's parking prob
lens these days. If it isn't Waterbury, it's
some other community. Take, New York,
for example In two weeks down there it
will be illegal to park on both sides of the
street. Only one side will be available for
parkers. The city officials are getting
ready for any and all emergencies and
don't intend to have the streets blocked
when it becomes necessary for mass
evacuation. This new regulation will be
effective twenty-four hours day, too.
At various times Waterbury has tried out
this system of closing off one side of the
street for parking It's still done on lower
Grand Street, Church Street, Brook
Street, and other thoroughfares too mar
row to permit parking on both sides. In
fact at one time we alternated parking
from one side of the street to the other.
All of which merely indicates that motor
ing conditions have imposed constant
physical changes on every large commu-
nifty in the country.

1t was good to read that when and If
the gas rationing scheme is launched all
sections of the nation will be affected. At
one time it looked as if it might be con-
fined to areas, like the Atlantic coastal
section. Now at Washington the powers
that be say if we have gasoline ratlonnlg
it will be put into effect generally
throughout the nation. That's as II shoulo
be. If it's hard to get gasoline to the east
ern seaboard. then it must be hard to get
gasoline to the central section of the
Country or the Pacific Coast. In short II
there is a shortage of gasoline and need
of conserving supplies, then all motorists
OUGHT to be asked to share the burden
equally. We'd like it better that way

Q. What is thermostatic BIZ
metal?
A. 1t is a heat-sensitive element
composed Of two metals united by
riveting, brazing, or welding. One
metal possesses O high coefficlenp
of expansion and the other a low
coefficient of expansion. When eX-
posed to heat or temperature rise,
the high expansion metal will eX-
pand or lengthen and the low ex-
pansion metal will expand only
little or not at all. The result Is a
bending action. the force Of which
can be utilized TO actuate an cleo
trio switch, valve, etc. When The
heat is withdrawn, the bimetal as
sumes its original shape.

A. The tango was the most dis

by many eminent persons. Reform

condemned 1t, but when a perform
ance OF the dance was given before

said to have enjoyed 1t very much.

@. Was John the Baptist him
self baptized?
A. The Bible Is silent on the sub.

different in manner and purpose,
John originated the kind Of baptism
used as a sacrament in many Chris
tan denominations; hence his APP
pellation, John the Baptist.

Feng. The memory Of this tragic
scene at last drove him to inquire
more about the Christian faith, and
in the end he embraced Christianity
and became a great power In the
Church of China.
The by-products of good life are
varied and potent. The way we con-
duct ourselves before our fellows
every day Is making an impression
upon them either to their help or to
their hurt. Young Timothy watched
the mob at Lystra. rain stones upon
the PROSTATE form Of Poul who had
come preaching strange doctrines
about One called the Christ. To see
this bruised and lacerated man pull
himself up from the ground, go back
to the village and continue his
preaching made an impression upon
young Timothy which first led him
to the Christian fellowship and later
strengthened him in a position Of
outstanding leadership.

see whether we will play the hero or
the coward in the hour Of crisis.

the real naval intelligence of the
waterfront is picked up.
HOW ABOUT THE BUDGET?


waterfront is picked up.
HOW ABOUT THE BUDGET?
In one case Naval Intelligence
was informed that workmen, sling
ing a DeGaussin cable around q
ship to nullify magnetic mines,
were purposely throwing materials
into the water, thus losing yards
Of expensive cable. It was sug-
gested to Naval Intelligence that
it would be easy to hide a motion
picture camera in a nearby ware
house and take pictures which
would prove deliberate sabotage.
WhereupOn. naval officers en-
gagged in a debate as 10 whether
their budget permitted them to
buy a camera, and whether
they ought TO take the initiative
in investigating the reported Sa-
bOtage.
On another occasion, Gordon
Pyke, crack special agent of the
Treasury, caught the Spanish liner
Isle de Teneriffa surreptitiously
loading so radio sets, 100 drums Of
lubricating oil and quantity OF
raw ,silk-all without export per-
mits. And although the Treasury
had armranged to resquisitoin the
ship as penalty, the State De-
partment, always friendly to Fran
co, interviewed and let the vessel
sail after pleading Nolo Conten-
dere apd paying a fine.
Chief move Of Naval Intelli-
gence 30 far is 10 require office
workers along the waterfront,
plus ferrybOat and Gag boat
crews, to have credentials. Steve
dOres and AongshOremen have
been ordered TO obtain identi-
ficatiOn cards, but there have
beSn delays In enforcing this
measure.
At present there are two police
agencies doing a good job on the
New York waterfront. The spe-
cial Treasury agents and U. S.
Customs Intelligence have made a
yfe work OF knowing all the GRIM
inals and shady characters along
the waterfront.
Suggestion TO Uncle Sam: Why
not let Navel Intelligence men
stick to data ON guns, armour
plate, ETC., on which they are ex-
perts; and detail the rd-boiled
boys who have legged 1t up and
down the waterfront for years, TO
step in and clean up this hot-bed
of sabotage In New York Harbor?

good case can be made for that

According to one political theory,
you know, all wars are supposed to
