Commissioner Lands still
leaves the issue up to club man
ayers. He dumps the whole
problem into respective laps.
Obviously, most of the major
league managers need powerful
support from the Commissioner
who is elected by the club own
erS.
Managers are under the
thumb of their club owners and
are not in any position to take
the initiative into their own
hands. Commissioner Lands,
in view of Colored loyalty in this
country, should call a special
conference of major league club
owners and there draw forth a
resolution that Colored ball
players are wanted in the ma
jor leagues just as much as any
other citizen of any other race.
This announcement should be
stressed by press and radio, in
a clear cut declaration.
Undoubtedly this will not be
done.
Yes, Colored will get into the
majoSs someday. But until that
day comes, Mr.. Lands should
stop making meaningless state
mentS to the Press.

Would you like to get an extra

your daily bread - for the asking?
Then simply ask for "enrlehed
white bread" at your bakery or
bookstore. The word enriched"
is the officially approved term for
white bread containing an extra
share of important vitamins and
minerals natural to wheat. Yitamin-
enriched white bread usually costs
you no more than the white bread
you've always been buying.
During the last World War, a
wheat shortage forced us to eat
breads made with rather unpala-
table substitutes for wheat. In this
war, good white bread, better than
ever, Is our staunch ally. For now,

avoided. Parents are advised,
however that ordinary play
by their children, if not unduly

is particularly important not
to chill the body rapidly while

Late John Willis of Glasgow
Was Pal of Teddy Roosevelt

John Willis, who died at Glasgow
some time ago, will go down In history
as a famous Montana mountain guide
and a close friend of Theodore Roose-
welt.
willis was plying his trade as a
guide for hunting parties over in the
Thompson Falls district OF western
Montana, when one day he received a
letter from Roosevelt In New York
city.
The writer inquired: IF come
west and go hunting with you do you
think I could kill wild goat? Willis
wrote on the back of Teddy's letter:
"If you can't shoot any better than
you can write, don't think So"
Willis mailed this back and 1t Is
said that this letter Is in the Roose-
Welt memorial hall in New York city.
A few days later, Willis received a
telegram from New York, stating:
Consider yourself engaged; viii ar
rive July 90" Roosevelt stepped from
the train at Thompson Falls on this
date dressed in his hunting clothes.
With him was his ranch foreman,
Mortified.
After some time spent climbing
around the mountains Willis spotted
a mountain goat high up on noun
tainside.
After considerable maneuvering
around, they got within rifle range
but Teddy was in an awkward posi-
ton and only crippled his game. Away
went the goat. with the guide and
Roosevelt after him.
In the excitement Teddy slipped on
some shale and plunged headlong with
his rifle in his hand over the edge Of
a cliff and landed some so feet below
in the top of a pine tree. unhurt save
for a few scratches.
They did not get the animal that
day. Teddy told Willis that night that
he would give him 500 If they killed
the goat the following day. Teddy got
the goat but Willis refused the cash.

sistently. The idea is spreading that the war can be won from the air by bombing Hitler thought that, of course, and tried 1t out against England. lt proved false in his case. Though NaZi planes seemed unlimited and the British had only a few; though maSsed bomb CTS broke through nightly and devastated important industrial certers as well as residential and cultural areas, Hitler dis covered that he could not beat Britain from the air.
 Thereupon revulsion set in. Arm chair strategiSts decided that wars still must be won by the Slogg1ng doughboy with his heavy pack and hand weapons. The air force could be an invaluable aid, but no more. Now, however, Great Bri- tain has begun going to town. Where the Nazis dropped 6S0,000 pounds of bombs on poor Coventry, the British tossed some 100000 punds each on Ros- tock and Lubeck. With the Luftwaffe devastated London with l 200, ,000 pounds of explosives and incendiaries, the R.. A. F. has ruined both Cologne and Essen with more than 6,O00,O0O pounds of bombs in one night each. Bri- nights soon when 5000 United Nations P4d14CS WAA4 OAOP H 0A4A44OAA POoAANS NA bombs on Hitler's industrial areas.
 So we are shifting back to the 1940 Hitler viewpoint. We say the Luftwaffe failed because it did not follow through strongly enough-that we now have the material with which to accomplish against Germany what Hitler failed to achieve against Britain. The idea is that such mighty death blasts as we can throw from the air can soften the Reich so effectively-in morale, but particularly by destroying her war production-that relatively few land fighters can almost stroll to Berlin If this proves true, 1t will eliminate months or years that might be required to establish major bridgeheads on the continent, land mil lions of men and millions of tons of arna- ment an dsupplies and food, service the troops while they fight their way north ward or eastward toward Germany. That at least, is the theory of those who now think we possibly could win by the fall of 1943 and definitely can win before the end of 1944.

An "Alarming Bunch"

Harold W. Ross, editor of The New Yorker, views with alarm the plan of the Merritt Parkway Commission to continue with the idea of creating picnic area just off the parkway in the Stamford area. This was announced year ago and for all that most of us up here in the hinterlands knew the spot had been carved out despite the protestations of adjacent property owners. It is in this later category that Mr. Ross qualities. He sees the value of his property lessened and his peace and comfort destroyed be- fore the invasion of picnickers from Har- lem and the Bronx.
 It is with respect to these sections of New York that Mir. Ross used the eXpres- sion alarming bunch. Whether it will earn him huzzaS or misses depends on your own natural feeling towards your fellowman. But at any rate the New Yorker editor did not seek to gloss his words in letter he addressed to Gov. Robert A. Hurley (copies also to the preSS) in criticising the picnic area plan. StreSsing the claim taht it will be patron ized not by Stamford residents or even those from other parts of Connecti- cut, he asserts it will become the stamp ing grounds of travellers along the high way in this fashion ...
 "Well, sir, what your Highway com mission would be doing is just inviting Harlem and the Bronx, New York City, up to Stamford to spend the day. I do not mean to be undemocratic, but by God, you couldn't choose more alarming bunch of people anywhere in the world. The parkway has put Stamford within 30 or 40 miles of the northern sections of New York City and Stamford is sitting on a keg of dynamite as it is ."
 The unfortunate part of this is that unless you are property owner whose peace of mind, as well as his lands, has been disturbed by summer picnickers you won't be sympathetic with MT. Ross You'll term him undemocratic, which he doesn't want to be. And dwelling far from the Merritt Parkway few of us think of it as anything more than beautiful roadway down which we could still speed fin excess of the legal limit, if it weren't for lack of gasoline. If the aggrieved and fearful neighbors of the proposed park way picnic area get no satisfaction from state officials, they will certainly win the sympathy of those who have gone through sieges of similar occurrences.

Music Hath Charms

This ought to be good. If the success sion of 1,0O0-plane raids hasn't done the job, German morale should be shot soon after we start dumping grand pianos, E-flat alto horns, bell Tyres, 14-inch Chi nese crash cymbals, euphoniums, piccolos and B-flat trumpetS on Berlin, Tokyo and Rome. The brass bands and symphony orchestras won't fall on the Axis quite in their original forms. Rather, they will appear as shells and bombs made from metals which no longer are going into musical instruments. They will be fabri- cated by skilled workmen no longer tied up in a desirable but not indispensable industry.
 Now that the manufacture of musical instruments is banned, it is pleasant to toy with the possibilities. A plane equipped with precision instruments made by brass horn experts will tow glider manufactured by piano house. The pilot will have received preliminary training with blowers made by 8 pipe organ fabricator. He will drop demoli- ton bombs made with steel and copper, incendiary bombs made with magnesium originally destined for musical inStru- merts. And charming music it will be, to all but the Axis.

Mayor William A. Patten's bid for the Democratic nomination in the 5th Con- gressional District will be serious one. He announced it late last week. While Waterbury can't be counted out of the race at this early date, there are indica- tions that the nomination might go else where in the district this time in an ef- fort to appease those dissatisfied with what they term this city's monopoly on the office. We tried to show few months back that the city actually never had a monopoly on the nomination or the of- flee. Once we had elected a congress- man from this city and he continued to be reelected naturally we felt that the winning combination shouldn't be brok- en. whether it has been permanently broken remains to be seen. But which ever way the nomination does go this fall, we hope that the district won't forget that the Waterbury vote is vitally im- portant to the election of the congress man who'll represent the district.
