CHAPTER XIX

Then one day it happened, and he
told her in a half whisper that after
noon. She stared up at him from her
pillows, and suddenly her face looked
relaxed and content.
"My boy" she said my son,
Chris. My son, always wanted a
son."
It was quite simple in the end, as
such things are. He found Beverly
in a secluded part of the garden cry
ing as if her heart would break, and
he merely put down that inevitable
bag of his and took her in his arms.
''Darling!" he said, "My own girl
Don't cry like that"

"I know, sweet, I know"
81 can't cry in the house. daren't

"I'n take care of you now darl-
ing. Take care of you all my life.
God willing"
It was as simple as that.
He was utterly happy and content
after that. He could not save Annie
Lewis. No power could do that. But
to Beverly during those days he was
a rock in a weary land. She was
more nearly demonstrative than she
had ever been. The small casual
caresses of most families had never
been hers, and her kisses were still
the kisses of the child rather than the
awakened woman. But there were
times when in his arms he felt her
sigh and relax and his heart leaped.
She was his. She was lovely and low
able, and she was his.
"You do love me, darling?"
81 adore you, Chris"
But their times together were
brief. The telephone would ring, or
he would look at his watch.
"Well, I'll have to CO."
"But you've just comet

Sweating OFF the Fat

1t Is always pleasure to see public
official step right out, grab a problem
squarely by the horns and 60 to the mat
with it. Possibly the pleasure is enhanced
by the fact that it happens SO seldom.
Anyway, every state and local official
knows that in this time of war, with
federal debt rising, with costs of living
rising it is highly desirable that state and
local expenses and taxes be cut just as
far as possible.
Few officials have had the fOrtitude to
tackle the problem squarely. Governor
Lehman of New York is an exception. In
presenting his budget to the state legis-
lature, he has recommended a Is per
cent reduction in each individuals per-
Sonal income taxes payable this spring;
similar reduction in same taxes pay
able in 1913; a cut of five millions in total
budget despite unavoidable war expenses
and all this in the face of inevitable loss
of revenue from auto and gas taxes. He
proposes to postpone almost all projected
public improvements, cut expenses all
around, and actually give the state tax
payer some relief to enable him to carry
his increased federal taxes.
How Governor Lehman will fare with
his proposals, we do not yet know, but
such program, actually embodied in
a budget and showed straight at a state
legislature, is a fitting subject for loud
cheers Much of the saving that can be
made by state and local governments in
times like this can be made without in
jury or handicap to individuals. Many
employees will be leaving to join the armed
services The total will fall automatically
if new employees are not Immediately
added, yet it will not be necessary to fire
anybody.
All projects not necessary to the con-
duct of the war which can be postponed
will not only add their share to present
economy, but will be waiting to be
launched after the war at time when
jobs and work may be at premium. Thus
the postponement serves double purpose.
Every state and local government has
before it definite task: to sweat off the
fat and get down to minimum operations
consistent with safety and effective adj
ministration. The taxpayer land that's
everybody nowadays) is going to have to
carry heavier and heavier bod for the
nation. 1t is up to the lesser govern
mental divisions to tighten the burden
all they can. Few of them have as yet
faced the situation with as much cour-
age as that shown by the governor OF
New York.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1942-02-02

A man who joins the fighting forces
OF the United States in time of war offers
TO his country the most precious thing
man possesses = life itself He can be
given no security in the full sense, for
the taking OF life Is implicit in war Never
theless, every possible effort should be
made to protect those dependent on him,
and his own status If he returns safely.
The United States has Social Security
system, begun six years ago in time OF
peace. This it did not have when the
country last went TO war. Already its
effects are being felt. Survivors insur-
ance benefits are already being rushed
TO widows and minor children of men who
have given their lives in the Pacific
fighting.
Already 81 states and Hawaii have
amended their unemployment compen-
sation acts to "freeze" such benefits
standing to the credit of men at the time
they enter service On their return, in
other words, they will be entitled to the
same status they held when they entered
service with no lapse, though naturally
they have not continued their contribu-
tons Federal Security Administrator
McNutt will try to get Congress to forbid
lapse of old age and survivors insurance
under the same conditions, or for those
who leave covered employment 10 WORK
in arms industries which are not covered,
such as those of the federal government.
If the Army is increased to the size
which now seems likely - that IS,
to five or six million men, or
even more, it will be necessary to
look to dependents. In Canada, for IN
stance, married man who enters service
and who assigns part of his pay to the
support of his wife, sees that assignment
increased by direct grant from the gov
eminent which lifts much of the burden
from dependents left behind. During the
World War, system of war-risk insur-
ance was devised, aimed at giving some
protection to the surviving family OF men
who died in service. The original thought
was to avoid future pension demands, in
which it was not entirely successful.
These problems must be met ana
solved. Unless they are met promptly
much unnecessary suffering will be
casued among dependents, and the future
bonus and pension demands many we'll
be imagined. The returning Congress
will have it's own full share of work to do
in support of the war, and the problem
of security for soldiers and their depend
ents is going to be one of the most i'm
pOrtant.
