WAR HAS IT'S PROBLMS
(And HOW!!D
The hero (or cad), in our story
is rather young man about town
who has recently taken over some
extra outside activities, including
chasing other women and learning
to be an air raid warden. His
wife, heretofore, has been quite
particular with her hubbie-that is,
she hasn't allowed him many
nights out alone. Now that the
war is going on, our dear little hub
bic has joined various air raid
classes and has a fine excuse to
spend more time away from home
than at home.
The hubble in our story met his
current outside interest Ia we'll
known lassie about town., on one
of his recent house-to-house air
raid canvasses. The "poor" wife
in our story recently found out
about her husbands carryings-on
and so to catch up with him, has
Joined the air raid classes right
along with him. Up to the present
date, the meandering husband has
been unable to get away from his
wife cause she's keeping right up
with him and from all outward ap-
pearances, she's just about broken
UP the outside interest. I think
the wife was one smart woman.
What do you think of her? More
POWER to more clever women like
her.
Well, friends, I'll have to be on
my way but I'll be with you again

A Thought for Today
Forward In the American Wav

Those who are disappointed in the
achievements of a Pan-American con-
ference are usually those who, taking
no account of obstacles, expect great
things all at once. The meeting just
closed at Rio de Janeiro marks another
and very definite step forward in the in
tegratiOn of the Western Hemisphere.
The accomplishments were not, perhaps,
quite as great as many had hoped, nor
even as great as at one moment in the
conference seemed likely, but they are
substantial. They have carried forward an
other step the work that has been going
on for so years. and have carried it for
ward on solid basis. Unanimity, the key
stone of Pan-American agreements, has
been preserved. To have built the struc
ture little higher on solid stone masonry
is better than to have shot it up five
stories with rickety scaffolding.
The 81 American republics unanimous
ly agreed that common danger faces all
the Americas. They recommended that
each country in it's own way and time
break diplomatic relations with the axis
powers. Nineteen of the countries have
done this, even before the conference
closed; others may follow The hundred
year border controversy between Peru
and Ecuador, which has SO often resulted
in bloodshed, appears to have been set
tied. Consultation before any of the coun-
tries resume relations with the axis is
promised. In short, the American repub-
lics face the world today united as never
before
These are no negligible achievements.
1t is true that Argentina and Chile have
not yet seen fit to break with the axis.
That does not mean that Hitler and Hiro-
hito control them. They stand where the
United States stood two years ago, feeling
secure in isolation, wary of foreign en-
tanglements, still hoping it won't hap
pen. It will take time and events to show
them the light, just as it took time and
events to show it to Britain and then to
the United States In the meantime, we
are assured many forms of cooperation
from both countries denied to the axis.
These things didn't just happen. They
result from SteadfaSt work and faith IN
the face of scepticism-Work by devoted
men who have never lost sight of hem
isphere solidarity since Bolivar first
dreamed of it 116 years ago. On these
foundations we must build yet higher and
even more securely. Nothing in human re-
lations is ever finished. Sumner Welles
has good reason for saying that "this has
been the most living thing yet to come
out of the hemisphere" We Of the Amer
icas are building a structure not only for
the present, but for the future; not only
for ourselves, but for humanity.

The Good Tidings

When a Connecticut municipality re-
ports surplus al the end of a fiscal year
of more than 100000 that's first page
news And such prominence the announce
ment of City Controller Thomas M
Conlon yesterday was given. He said that
the city's surplus at the clo-e of business
for 1941 was $503, 480.29 Never in its
history has Waterbury achieved such
tremendous total of unexpended funds in
the course of 12-month period. Perhaps
it never will again, but it's something to
have done it once.
While this surplus can't be tossed into
current revenue or funds to be approp-
rated against in the current budget, still
it's bulwark against any number OF
contingencies In addition it shows that
the city is operating SO far beneath its
budget that further concessions in favor
of the taxpayers are possible year from
now. What form these may take it remains
to be seen. But certainly the Scully
administration with two consecutive sur
pluses to it's credit now, their total being
well over three-quarters of a million
dollars, can afford to look towards the
future with great confidence.
Good management of the city's fiscal
affairs, coupled with splendid cooperation
from the Taxpayers has made it possible
for consecutive SURPRISES to be achieved.
We need have little worry but what the
former condition will be continued.
Whether taxpayers can continue to
weather the storm of rising federal taxes
in conjunction with local ones is more I'M
certain. But so far as they are able local
taxpayers will continue the fine work they
have been doing the last few years.

Pretty Cooperative

II the ban on all night parking on
Waterbury's streets does succeed all the
credit will have to be given to the car
owners who now are maSSlng their cars
in convenient corner lots, front yards,
back yards, side yards, alley-Ways, and
any convenient spot that will house
car. Certainly the first night of the ban
must have proved to city officials that
the citizens of Waterbury are willing to
live up to the laws if they can. And with
this in mind we do think that any con-
cessions that can be made for those who
may be subjected to undue hardships
should be made.
Judging by the comments of last week
one could have been led to believe that
there was to be united objection and oppo-
sition to the mandate in many sections OF
the city. If there was, then it wasn't
apparent Sunday night and Monday
morning. Streets that the night before
were lined with cars from early evening
until the next morning were bare. Only
here and there could a solitary car be
found and in some cases these weren't
all night parkers. All of which only goes
to prove that this is Solid laW-abiding
community.
There's no doubt, though, that if we
should get some unfavorable weather
conditions, such as heavy SHOWS three
day rains, etc, there might be quite few
motorists leaving their cars as close to
their own homes as possible. 1t would be
natural despite the parking ban. There
has to be lot of common sense used by
the city authorities in making this ban
really effective. 1t isn't going to do any
good to slap motorists around They feel
they are pushed pretty hard today, what
with taxes, tire rationing, possible gaso-
line shortage.
Most of us realize there are hazards
from parked automobiles during the night
time, but until such time as proper pro-
vision can be made for all of our cars on
private property, there has to be every
consideration of them.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-02-03

Bill Walsh's explanation of the Com
pensation Commissioner appointment IN
this district is that there were SO many
good candidates advanced by various IN
terests here in Waterbury that GOV.
Robert A. Hurley figured he could not
take any chances and sent the nomlna-
ton down the valley to Derby. This is
plausible explanation, for there's no
doubt but what there were any number
of prominent Waterburians seeking the
appointment and each one had good
backing. But our thought on the matter
remains the same. We believe that the
governor considered it expedient at this
time to name a down-the.-valley appointee
in an effort to build up party prestige
where obviously it is needed. Judging by
the special election returns the lower
valley is losing its Democratic tinge OF
other years By the same token the upper
end of the valley, Torrington, also might
require bolstering In this thought we sort
of agree with Mr. Walsh's prediction that
the congressional nomination in the fall
will go to Democrat in the top end OF
the district

The figures issued by Michael V.
Blansfeld on the first month OF operation
of the Connecticut Savings Bank Life
Insurance Fund are quite interesting,
Comparative figures aren't available, SO
we wouldn't know how Connecticut 1ared
as contrasted with similar periods IN
operation of New York's and Massachu-
sets similar funds. It's interesting 10
note that there are only three states that
have initiated this system of all wing lie
insurance to be sold, as it were, over the
counter through savings banks. We'd say
that the Fund trustees are encouraged
by the initial reports and there seems 10
be every indication that the system Will
continue to flourish.

Protecting a Symbol

The Liberty Bell, ancient symbol of
American freedom, is going to be protec-
ted against bomb damage if the offer OF
an insurance company is accepted. The
company would construct a bomb-proof
vault into which the bell could be lowered
in case of raid. If this project goes
through, it would not be the first time
the Liberty Bell was a war fugitive.
In September, 1777, when the British
army was on the point of occupying Phil
adelphia, the old bell that had rung out
the news of independence was removed
from the State House tower, and carried
by the retreating American army to Al
lentown, Pa, where it remained hidden
for almost year. 1t is good to preserve
such symbols; better still to preserve the
thing symbolized-liberty itself. Which is,
roughly, what the war is all about.

Selected Poem
WORKER IN WOOD
(Silence Buck Bellows in the Christian
Science MONITOR

(Silence Buck Bellows in the Chrlstlan
Science Monitor)
He never hurries when he works in wood.
He lays a gentle and deliberate hand
Upon these royal relics that once stood
And drew their need of living from the land.
Alien are sound and haste to things that show
Such endless patience in their will to grow.
This cherry shook its snow upon the air
Long Mays ago, before, its girth was grown.
This pine stood where the cliff was high and bare
And braved it's thousand bitter storms alone.
This oak took root and held within its ken
-Four generations of the sons of men.
SO he bends above each waiting board
And calls it back to beauty stroke by stroke
He tunes his heart to ancient secrets stored
Within the heart of cherry, pine, and oak,
And pauses in his work from time to time
To recollect jest. or well-turned rhyme.
He thumb along the curling grain
And whistles in whisper to himself
He straightens, smiles, selects smaller plane
And puts the large one back upon the Shelf.
And, if you speak, he answers quet-Wise,
The seasoned strength of forests in his eyes.

Editor of The Democrat:
Having been a constant reader of
your paper for years, and always
Democratic voter, ! take this op-
pCrtunity to expose my feeling
toward this so-called parking law.
I called on 16 garages and over 20
property owners for space for my
car, and finally received a second
notice to keep it off the streets. If
this law went into effect before
the last election, I feel sure that
the present administration would
not be in power. Let any one of
these law makers find a place for
my car within walking distance Of
my home, as I leave for work in
Hartford at 6 a. m. I will greatly
appreciate it.

The farmers are in Michigan
and they are being signed up as
members of Local so, sort of
catch-all UNIV branch, made up
of units of munitions, chemical
coke, cosmetics and gas workers.
Head of Local so are two Lewis
appointees - Ora GassaWay, old
time UNIV henchman, and Lewis
daughter and former confidential
secretary, Kathryn. Gassaway
gets $4,000 a year; Miss Lewis
$500.
Local so was recently in the
news as result of purge of
a number OF crack organizers who
didn't see eye to eye with Lewis
iSolationiSt views.
Directly in charge of the far
mer drive are two other Lewis
henchmen Ray ThomaSton, an
other old-time UNIV official, who
attracted attention at the recent
CLIO convention when he slugged
two assistants OF CLIO president
Phil Murray, and Ralph Marlatt,
labor publicity agent.
According to ThcmasOn and
Marlatt over 5000 Michigan
dairy farmers have Joined the
United Dairy Farmers of Amer
lea, a new Local so union. The
farmers, say Thomson and
Marlatt, could get nowhere with
their demands for better prices
from the bit dairy corporations,
SO they asked Lewis to take them
under his wing.
Thomson and Marlatt also
boast that the Michigan drive is
only the start of nationwide
campaign by Lewis to unionize
100000 farmers. Already activi-
ties are under way to branch out
into Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Illinois and Ohio.
STRANGE PEACEMAKER
In inner C. I. o. circles Lewis
farm operations are viewed as a
direct hostile move against the
Farmers Union, an established CLIO
affiliate.
That is, 1t is charged, Lewis is
raiding field already occupied
by a CLIO union.
1t Is also Indignantly pointed
out that he was engaged in these
n Ia
spring his surprise AFL-CIO peace
scheme. Further, that he is or
ganizing the farmers under chal-
lengeable authority.
This charge is based on
language in the UNIV constitu-
ton which says that UNIV mem
bership is open to wage earners
working "in or around coal
mines"
NOTE-Initiation fee in Lewis
dairy union is ten cents COW;
dues 3 cents a hundredweight.
THE PAYOFF
In the past 1t has been the
afinite policy of some Pan Ameri-
an countries to be just DIT anti
United States because they figured
-he State Department would then
go out of its way to appease them.
Thus, when they wanted an Ex-
port-Import Bank loan or some
tariff preference. Latin Americans
sometimes found it paid to I'M
cork stiff editorial blast at the
U. S. A. Then the State Depart
ment would step in, and, in eff
feet, buy them off.
1t Is doubtful If the Argentine
Government deliberately played
such strategy at the Rio confer
ence, but the effect seemed al
most the same. They have got
various concessions in the past,
while opposing the U. S. A.
Knowing this, Foreign Minister
Aranha of Brazil took Under-sec-
rotary Sumner Welles aside dur
ng the period when Argentine was
so vigorously kicking over theh
traces against breaking diplomatic
relations with the Axis.
