WOMNYs STRING SECTION

Tommy Dorsey's latest Victory record release arrived in the mail this week. It's the first platter op which T. D. uses his new string Sec~ ton and the results, to these ears at least, are something to write an essay about. Using Frank Sinatra and the Pied Pipers as vocalists, Tommy has paired the familiar "Street of Regret" and tune called "Just As Though You Were Here" Following in the trail blazed by Art:e Shaw and Harry James, Dor Sey comes up with an even more ef- Gective fiddle treatment, if that's possible. Frank Sinatra seems to profit more than any other member of the band as a result of the new order, the string background show lng of his smooth warhling to its greatest advantage. The hep cats, of course, won't be too happy about the latest Dorsey innovation. But haven't they been catered to enough during the past few years? l think its about titme we ickieS got a break-and this is 1t!

A Thought for Today
Zip Your Lip

The lives of relatives, friends, neigh bors- even of stranger Americans one never has met make up too high a price to pay for the pleasure of gossiping. Loose talk may continue for weeks with out the slightest concrete damage Then bit of gossip, no more important seem- ing and just as innocently meant, may give the Germans or the Japs a tipoff that can result in the sinking of ship, the death of brave men, the defeat of an important military or naval venture.
 All of us know this. We intend to be discreet. But we love, most of us, to seem important. We dote on knowing inside stuff, and proving that we know, by telling it. Usually we stop to consider who 1t is to whom We are telling our SUD- posed war secrets. But often we haven't the slightest idea who may be listening in. In California, whose citizenry has been more danger conscious from the beginning than are the residents of most areas, the Monterey Peninsula folk have done an outstandingly good job at con- trolling this sort of dangerous gossip.
 Their slogan, apt if not genteel, is Zip Your Lip. An NEA Service article told how the campaign, brain child of the Fort Ord public relations officer, was inspired because soldiers in their casual gossiping downtown were keeping the entire penin- sula informed about everything that hap pened at the fort. Newspapers, civic groups, radio stations, chambers of com merce, the mayors of Monterey and Sa- linas, telephone and telegraph companies co-operated. As result of this co-or- dinated community effort a complete stranger no longer can drop into Mon- terey or Salinas, keep his ears open, per- hapS buy drink and ask comradely question, and go away with all the in- formation he wants about troop move ments into and out of Fort Ord.
 "Spilling inside dope" has ceased to be the mark of "big shot". Instead of creating admiration for the takers ''pipe- lines," gossip on the Monterey Peninsula has become very bad form, an indication of ignorance or dangerous exhibitionism. There is an idea in this Zip Your Lip campaign for Waterbury. What the Monterey Peninsula did, we could do just as we'll How about an organized effort right hereto silence our local chatterbugs (the Australian term - gossip is an inter- national vice) and make sure that we shall not contribute to any axis triumphs, however small, through loose talk?

Gone, But Not Forgotten

Tn days to come we may look back on this war period and wonder what effect it had, if any, on completion of the Wil- bur L. Cross Parkway. Time was when we thought that the venerable ex-gover- nor might live to ride from one end of this thoroughfare to the other. Now, we wonder if many of us will see the day when the super-highway is available for general use, Of course, that sounds like sheer eXaggeration and we sincerely trust it turns out to be exactly that.
 But for your information it's true right now that actual work on the Merritt Parkway has come to a standstill. It's doubtful if anything constructive will be done along the route for the duration of the war. Certainly nothing more than continued acquisition of rights of way, where they are still needed, will be about all to convince the state that eventually it hopes to have great parkway tracing diagonal route from northeast to south west.
 The time might come, of course, in this war, when it was absolutely essential for Connecticut to have this roadway, not for pleasure use, but for military purposes. In that event there would be no efforts made to follow the outlines of a parkway, but simply to provide a wide and smooth thoroughfare along the right of way now marked out. But in all likelihood there won't be much done with the parkway, save for a little patching here and here, until the war is over, which means, naturally, one more postwar project is in view.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-26

One thing the war will deprive us of in big or little doses, according to the way we react to demands and requirements, is motoring through the Connecticut countryside. While this has little appeal for some, for others it's thrill supreme. Of late years it has been rather pleasant to direct trips towards and around the numerous water-courSes created in the highlands, Waterbury'S waterworks up in the Morris hills were always 8 mecca for travellers. Lake Candlewood near Dan- bury is another artificial body worth see- ing. And SO is the new reservoir down in the Saugatuck River Valley. And, of course, no trip to reservoirs would be com plete without going to Barkhamstead, where Hartford's Metropolitan Water Dis trict has built magnificent and man. moth supply. There are Il 1-2 billion gal Ions of water in it right now with the water 497 feet above sea level. Eventually it will reach point 537 feet above sea level. It covers home sites and town sites, as well as Route 20 where it crossed the Hartland Valley.
