Beyond the Alps

We make no pretenson to being mil- itary authority. And most certainly we feel very uncomfortable pouring cold water upon the first real heart-warming the United Nations have enjoyed for a long time. Nevertheless, nobody who seeks to help interpret current events would be living up to his obligations if, in appraiSing what is going on in North Africa, he failed to get out an atlas and consult the physical features of Southern Europe, which we assume is to constitute the site of the effective second front.
 This can be done without giving in- formation to the NaziS, who know every rock and footpath of those mountainous regions which for our casual purposes consist of variations in the ink colorS on maps. Look briefly at any good physical map of Southern Europe You will see that there is just one narrow path up f,om the sea which is not obStructed by mountain ranges. That is through the Rhone Valley. The mouth of the Rhone, the foot of it's valley, lies west of Mar SeilleS, France.
 To the west of the Rhone lie the Ceven- neS mountains, ranging upward to more than mile in height but with relatively low foothills and generally good tranSpor- tation facilities. To the east of the Rhone Valley lie the Alps, heralded by Mont Blanc, almost 16000 feet high. Italy itself is cut off from the rest of the Axis by ranges of the Alps towering upward from 5000 feet, witk only one gap until, to the east, the foothills toward the Dan- uba Valley are reached. Thus even the most amateur consideration reveals that reasonably convenient access from the Mediterranean coast to the expanded Reich is narrowly limited The NaziS can concentrate their defenses in a relatively few strong points which we must assume have been thoroughly prepared against any such threat as now looms.
 This does not mean that the United Nations cannot march to Berlin from the Mediterranean. It does mean that the current operations are child'S play as con- trasted with what is to come if this really is preliminary to a second European front. It means that the casualty lists are nearly all in the future. It means that in the light of the most realistic information available from Central Europe those who now talk of peace in a tWelvemonth must have locked their brains in dead storage before they opened their mouths.
 The news is swell. Even second-gueSS- ing, we agree with the Strategists who planned our pesent course. If it fails, we shall still think they did the proper thing at a good time. But We want to give solemn, heartfelt warning that prema- ture optimism is going to result in unnec- essary heart0reak later, For us, this war Is just getting ready to begin,

Chairmen Needed

Right at the moment there's activity within Democratic ranks of Connecticut land Republican ranks of the nation in search for new party chairmen, Accord Ing to the reports from Hartford competi- ton right now for the chairmanship of the Democratic State Central Committee Is keen between State Comptroller John M. Dove and Town Court Judge Charles E. Mahoney of Windsor Locks. However, seit's unlikely the race for the post, not yet vacated by John T. Mccarthy, will be confined to 2-man contest.
 And there may be lot more comments among Republicans, too, before their national committeeman and women will decide that John D. M. Hamilton, who ran the show when Ali Landis was the candidate, should be called back for another try at it. Someone will have to take the brunt of keeping the Republican hopes afloat after December when Con- gressman Joseph Martin of Massachu- setts devotes his entire time to the national legislative scheme. Maybe MT. Hamilton would be the logical man for the job, but there's going to be some sharp skirmishing before he's tapped.
 As for Connecticut Democrats we rather imagine there won't be too much haste to depose MT. Mccarthy and replace him with someone acceptable to the several factional groups within the party. After all this Is matter that shouldn't be decided overnight nor should there be any railroading of committee members into alliances for which they have no taste or disposition. A sound, sensible choice, seeing as how 1t is practically that Chairman Mccarthy mugt give his all now to the Motor vehicle Department, should be made with deIlberatlon and consideration for all the narty members, not just few.

All Work, No Play

These are busy times 1T. industrial cl. ties like Waterbury. People are working long hours, many of them going from one job to another. It's necessary If produc- ton is to be kept at levels that our lead CTS tell us is necessary to maintain our supremacy over the foes of democracy, But word of caution is certainly not amiSS to the thousands who are plunged into this hustle and hustle. Your health is important to the health of the nation.
 The old adage of all work and no play is quite applicable at this time. It's par ticularly true in the case of the many workers who go from one job to another, such as from an office to the factory. They are probably working as much as sixteen hours day, leaving scant eight for other things, such as sleep, rather important in the general scheme today. There should be every opportunity given for relaxation to our industrial workers these days; they should not overlook 1t themselves.
 Health authorities aren't saying too much about the situation, but there have been private opinions voiced about a na- tion of nerves" after the war is over and we try to settle down the comparative lazy routine of peacetime pursuits. It may not be as bad as all that, but there is cer- tainly every reason to believe that all of us should exercise sS much judgment as possible in these trying days. Let's main tain individual health for national health.

We still think that Democrats ought to get together some time and pass a res olution that the use of the expressions "old" and new guard" be eliminated from all references to them. The expres- Sions by now are slightly shop-worn and, to our way of thinking, convey little or no meaning to the average person. Ger tainly in these hectic times when there isn't too much time or thought given to the profession of politics it matters little whether a man is "old" or new guard. It's much easier and certainly more po- sitive to say that so-and-so is apt to sup port the viewpoints of certain leader, giving his name The Democratic picture in Connecticut anyway is no longer new" and "old guard. There may be factions but the lines have been crossed and re- crossed so many times since pr. Wilbur L. Cross entrance into politics a dozen years ago that the original camps are completely changed. Anyway there should be no divisions in party that has sud- denly become a minority one.

War Homes

A recent announcement gives the num- Der of living units constructed for war workers since the middle of l940 as roughly half a million. Private industry built 355,000 Government financed 142,- 000 of which more than l0,S00 were stopgap trailers.
 The cost per unit of homes supplied by private enterprise averaged S4,540, with out adjustment for the fact that this figure covers also 470,000 non-war resi- denceS, of which at least some are ex- cluded for the very reason that they were not in the ultra low cost field. The cost of each publicly financed unit, after as- stunning $500 each for the trailerS, approx imates $3,930. We do not believe that, If further breakdown were possible from the figures, private enterprise would need to offer apologies for its achievement.

It remains a moot question whether or not there was deliberate action in mak- ing the American invasion of North Africa come exactly one week after our national elections All sorts of conlec- tures. statements, etc. are being made along this line. The sole point of agree ment is that had the invasion come just one week sooner the political picture III the United States now would be much as it was before Nov. 3-in other words Democrats would rule the rooSt. All of which may make lot of Republicans thankful that politics and the conduct or the war are not merged, even though lot of people claim they are.

to cast us violently out of our soft customary ways and bid us take on new powers by matching what We have against the hardness of what the world is and does? Can We pie ture God flinging His children out into the cold world? Yes. the Bible actually pictures Him doing that very thing. He flung Moses out Of the court of Egypt that he might find life and a great destiny in the desert. He flung Paul out of place of influence in Jerusalem that the arch-persecutor of the Christian sect might become first among. Christian saints. He sent His only begotten Son out of the glory of heaven and into the pain and betrayal which in- carnation involved. that He might be the Saviour of mems souls the ex- ample by which they might walk.
 It has been said that the world is the poorest place imaginable in which to find comfort but the best place one could think of in which to grow strong and heroic.

Montgomery -MasSinberd, "as Has Petain by Foch on that oc- caSion."
 After the war. however. the Royalist Fascist crowd in France rallied behind Petain and built up a great myth. This was in creased by the big French muni- tions firms, working hand in hand with Krupps. Whether the Ger mans actually groomed Petain for the job he was to hold after the fall of France is doubtful. But certainly Petain thought the Nazis were friendly, and trusted them. For he was one of those who, dur ing the fateful days of June. l9so, held out against setting up 8 French government in Africa, as Roosevelt long had urged the French 10 do.
 Now, two years later, a French government is in Africa France proper has been invaded, the French fleet 1s in action. France once more may be the battle ground over which Al.ed-Nazi armies struggle. In other words. all the things Petain tried to avoid through appeasement-haVe now come to pass.

FARM wOoDsHED

(Christian Science MoEtto1
 IL used to be a familiar axiom Of the north country that one could judge a farmer by his woO6piie. Ac- cording to reports. woodpiles are both numerous and Sizable this Au- tumn. In a recent New England Council release. Harris Reynolds. Director of the Wood Fuel Commit tee of the Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety. says. Every stick of wood burned in afurnaee or stove this winter will be a direct contr1- button toward the solution of New Englanes s critical fuel situation"
 With approximately 6l5l000 900 acres of woodland in the United States, a fuel shortage seems par adox. Yet year by year the amount of wood used for farm heating and cooking has decreased. Now the use of wood has become a necessity.
 One can imagine that many a farmer stops a moment at the open woodshed after the chores are done and the livestock comfortably bedded down for the night to look at the pile of winter wood. There's comfort in the solid. tiered rows piled to the shed rafters.
 A woodpile is a memory that many a city man cheEishes as he sits high in a symmetrieally organ ized mass of concrete. brick. ard steel. The farmer. however. remem- bers the days of chopping in the woodlot. tEe hauling and the saw ing. the splitting and the stacking. As he turns toward the light slsiE- ing down the path from the kitchen window. he is glad that he ~got up" q larger Eoodpile than usual this year.

Selected Poem
NOVEMBER

Dorothy Hope Mccroden in the Christian
 Science Monitor Freed Of its ruSset weight, the cold bough bends still with remembered grace as autumn ehas; But over the hills and through the holiows The lonely leaves fly and the wild wind follows Sending the long. blue smoke cnrls mountaln"high Driving the cloudy mares tails down the sky. November comes back with its tarnlshed silver
 weather,
 Holding the heart by frail and frosty tether Now in the dark Of the moon most douby dear Is a warm. iire-Ighted window shining clear. And deep pools Of silence Sweety broken By sharing Of glances or low word spoken. Now for this best of all the years gay brood Let me give rhythmic voice to gratitude; Oh let me give thanks for thls ample giyer Whose goose arrows rest in star-strewn culver Gray month that is born when ruddy autumn ends Giving us back our fires, our stars. our friends.

The French Resident General in Tunis had eliminated lot of Jewish doctors from the list al- lowed to practice in the country, and Bey Sidi Moncef objected vigorously. In fact, he threat ened Admiral Juan Pierre Es- teva that if the doctors were not allowed to practice he would fly to Vichy and intervene personally with Marshal PetSln.
 'Tf the French government
 wishes to initiate the anti Semitic program of the Nan and
 the Fascists," Sidi Moncef told
 Admiral Esteva, according to
 an official report received by
 this government, ''let 1t cOnfine
 Its work to metropolitan France.
 We will have none of this here.'
 The incident caused such strained relations between Admiral Esteva and the Bey that the lat- ter resolved to have Estva re- moved as Resident General. Vichy became alarmed and sent several important officials, including Ad- miral Darlan on inspection tours" to butter up the Bey. Actually the Bey of Tunis had little power as far as the French government is concerned, but a lot of influ- ence and popularity with the Arabs of Ttinis. He commands no army, and bearded Admiral Esteva is far more important in external matters.
 But in view of possible sabot- age. the attitude of the Tunisian people is important and the Bey is one of the most popular native rulers in Africa. When his car- riage appears on the streets he is surrounded by cheering crowds and if any Frenchman along the way fails to salute, the Arabs knock his hat off.
 Sidi Moncef has dispensed with Arab ceremonials, receives dele- gations of peoples who have griev- ances, and has even abolished the

FROGS FROM HEAVEN

British Information Service in Washington was faced with pretty problem recently when a woman from Arkansas wrote in for proof that 1t sometimes rained frogs in heavy thundershowers.
 It seems that this woman had adopted two British children for the duration. Riding home in the family car one evening. they ran into an unusually heavy rainstorm. with clouds blacker than they had ever seen and water coming down in buckets. Then a few little white objects began to pelt the car. They thought they must be hail. stones, but when they looked closer, it developed there were frogs pour ing out of the sky. It was wonder ful, and America sure was a great country.
 Next day in school the British children, all excited. told about this truly great experience they had been through. But instead of being heroes. the poor British youngsters got nothing but the razzberry. Teachers and their schoolmates all pooh -poohed such nonsense
 The British children came home to their adopted mother in tears. That's what started the Arkansas woman to writing letters to Wash ington to see if something couldn't be done to restore her charges spirits.
 B. I. s. called up some scien- tists in Washington and sure enough. they did find scientific proof that sometimes when the sun was sucking Up water real hard. 1t did suck some shallow ponds dry. frogs and all. And they could prove. they said. that some times these frogs came down in rainstorms.
 That's what they wrote the Ar kansas woman. anyway, and they hope 1t will help keep the United Nations united.
