With 82 per cent of the citys collecti-
 ble taxes already in the treasury it's
 safe to agree with City Tax Collector in his statement that the 97.26 per cent record of 1941 will be surpassed. That's what Waterbury did last year-reallzed 97.26 per cent of it's taxes collected. The reason there is expectation that this will be beaten in 1922 is the fact that the sec ond installment of taxes is just falling due now and already there is 82 per, cent of the total in. With only 18 per cent left to be collected, it's easy to see why ottl- cials can expect an almost perfect collec- tion year. That would be something for Waterbury to boast about for long time im1ee
 to come. And it's quite possible, too. It certainly would reflect the greatest credit, though, on the tax-paying pubic, without whose cooperation it's impossible to make any sort of tax collection records

Four years ago, when Roosevelt was charged with being a social istic New Dealer, Congress debat- ed for days over the idea Of one lone Government radio station, and a terrific lobby was organized to block it.
 But now the taking over of a group of private stations is not causing ripple. In fact, the big broadcasting companies, which never made a profit on short wave, seem anxious to let the stations go.
 The deal is being worked out by Elmer Davis's OWI, and will in- clude three large international stations owned by NEG, CBS and Crosley. All programs will orig mate from the General Motors Building in New York except for some programs to be prepared by the Rockefeller Committee in Washington. A hook k-up is plan ned with certain foreign stations, particularly the Fighting French outlet in Brazzaville.
 Director of the new network is slated to be Pete Nelson, form CT head of World Broadcast ing in Boston.
 Congressional approval will be necessary but, in contrast to the fight of several years ago, is ex- pected to be easy.

Apparently Republicans and Demo. crats of Brid geport are convinced that ii one party can't do it, two will, At any rate the Republicans have got together with the Democrats and presented one slate of legislative candidates to oppose the Socialists who hope to capitalize on the fact that Mayor Jasper McLevy Will be on the ticket and will swing Bridge port into the Socialist column. He prob ably will do that but whether or not this is to be one of those years when he runs up staggering number of votes remains to be seen. If he doesn't, then the Dem ocrat-Republican candidates will beat the Socialist.

 On the credit side of the ledg- CT. he said. was the reSurgence of the Republican party in popular favor, plus dissatisfaction with the manner in which the Administra- ton has handled the rubber short age and other phases of the war effort. All this was reflected in the current criticism of Congress, Martin added, and would rebound to COP advantage in the Congress sional races.
 On the debt side was the lack of campaign funds and the pros pect of a light vote this year, caused by the draft and gasoline and tire rationing. Martin also pointed out that numerous COP organizers and campaign workers were in the armed services; and that it would be difficult to get voters to the polls in large num- bers without tires and gasoline.
 "The Democrats stand to pro- fit by a light vote," Martin de- clared at the closed door meet ing, because they have the or ganizatiOn in most States, many thousands of job b-hOlders who will get out and vote regardless of the handicaps caused by the war;"
 Therefore, he proposed that the party depend on educational electioneering more than ever this year, using women especial ly, to bring people to the polls. Copyright, 1942. by United Fea-

 The trend toward the bicycle is one of the silver Innings in the war. Up to this point it ownes its renewed popularity to practical necessity. situation, it seems to us, calls for one more influence in order to place the bicycle in the honored role which 1t deserves. That is social accept ance. The bicycles right to distinc- tion is not based on exclusiveness, that vice of so many human activ- ties, but on the fact that for it's use are employed the oldest forms of transportation. the human foot and the wheel. Any trend toward the simple life will have to ride part of the way on the bicycle.

The scenes that have been taking place at the Union Station for many months past are certainly typical of American fife. The railroad station, whether 1t De big terminal or a modest little wooden structure, is peculiarly American and any saga of American history certainly can ! divorce it from many little incidents linked to the lives of your average clti- ZenS.

We have tough job ahead of to win this war, but do it and have lot of fun while doing it. l think there ways that have good time while finishing up this grim business and I'm going to talk about some of them in the following para graphs.
 Of course it's fun having fellows like me here and hope that I will be the first of number of enter tainers who will come from the states to help you keep your chin up with grin. However, most of the fun must come from yourselves.
 One of the principal ways to enjoy yourselves while completing your job is to do that job so we'll that you get from it the pride and satisfaction that from job well done, matter whether it's making an audience laugh firing perfect score with ma chine gun
 :. Sc fny advice is keep smiling find all the fun you can in everything you do Then you'll like your job and do better job of it. You it's an endless chain. When you do good job of it you'll be happy about that. Now word about persistence. Success and we must be successful in our job of soldering isn't won over night You've heard of people becom- ing stars in Hollywood almost over night but unless they have prepared themselves well they don't last That is because they haven't learned their background and after picture or two have nothing more upon which to draw This applies to any other job exactly the same way. To enjoy yourselves as good soldiers you'll have to learn the fundamentals
 In this are fighting must put all the eff fort not just once but for the duration When l went to Toronto to help in the sale of Canadian bonds received pledges for one hundred and sixteen million dollars after broadcast and was amazed when realized that this was pledge to be conduct ed for the duration of the war not for just year but every year until the war is Each person pedging surrenderS a portion of his salary for these bonds until the war is and 1 believe tht these people have been hit little harder than most of
 Of course in saying all these things I'm only echoing the thoughts and wishes of every American, I'm not trying to teach preach to you I'm only repeating what all know if think about it, because in our hearts if we Americans all have the right angle Those who have forgotten for the minute may think the other fellow should carry for him but that isn't fair and that isn't the way we play the game. Each American carries his load, from the youngsters to the older generation and all have one to carry. We're not afraid. We'll each do it in own way and now in closing l want to pay tribute to the fine men in the Army and Navy whom have met on this trip from the highest officer to the private in the third row. You have all been exceedingly nice to me and have shown me wonderful time I'll never forget my trip to Alaska and my visit to the men of Ladd Field

JOE E. BROWN DAY AT CAMPBELL,
Thank you.

To the Eskmos of St. Lawrence Island Joe E. Brown was just another visitor when he arrived Not one of them had ever seen one of his movies and it is doubtful if any of them had ever heard of him How eVer because of his magnetic personality and his fac ity for making those about him happy, the village council of Gamble issued the following proclamation which speaks for itself:
 March 19 1922 We the council of Gambel St. Lawrence Island say and make rule that every March 18 must be holiday called MT. Joe E. Brown day, because he make happy this day All work should stop and school empty and we think about March Is, 1922, when Joe E. Brown and many very good men come to this island.

Americans are asking questions about Berlin-Tokyo relations. Is it true that the Nazis and Nip ponese are double-crossing each other? Is it true that Germans and Japanese are not cooperat- ing? Is it true that neither of these Axis members would care if the other lost the war? In short is it true that the Axis is myth? These questions have a bearing on the whole direction of the war.
 Historically the Germans and Japanese are not friends. There is little historical justification for their present alliance. More often they have opposed each other than cooperated. In the final de- cade of the nineteenth century Germany joined France and Rus sia in the "tripartite interven- tion' 10 keep Japan from gaining control of the Liaotung Penin- sula, ceded by China to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoski.
