Wilson PTA
Seeks Close
Quarantine

A LIVELY DISCUSSION on
the prevention of the spread of
communicable diseases among
school children highlighted the
meeting of Wilson Parent-Teach-
er Association last evening.
The more than so parents and
teachers present evidenced spir-
tied interest in this problem,
which was brought up at the
close of an excellent talk by
Miss Margaret Mccall, school
nurse. Many parents expressed
the desire for more specific in
struction on quarantine and pla-
carding to cut down the spread
of disease.
Miss Mccall urged a closer CO.
operation between parents and
teachers to improve health prob
lens among the $500 school
children in the city. She also
pointed out that great need ex-
lists for a health clinic and speech
defect classes.
Mrs. Hugh Neale gave a fine

Defense. The meeting was OPP

by Alvin Hameister, accompan-
led by Mrs. Rufus Reitzel. Mrs.

Sour Cream Cookies

MRS. FLOYD ROSSO'S
Sour Cream Cookies would be
good ones to make for the
Soldiers Cookie Jar. Clip this
recipe, unless you have a fav-
orite cookie recipe of your
own. Call Mrs. John Merrill
at 2031-R, or Girl Scout head
quarters at 1879 and tell them
what day you can bake a
batch.
It takes 100 cookies a day
to fill those jars at the USO
building and Hostess House.
Baking one batch is little
thing for a women to do to
show her patriotism.
Mrs. Rosso's Cookies:
Four egg yolks, IL cups
sugar, l cup shortening, l cup
sour cream, / quart flour
(siftedD, l teaspoon baking
powder, n teaspoon nutmeg,
" teaspoon salt, / teaspoon
soda.
Cream shortening and sug-
gar. Add egg yoiks and beat
well. Dissolve soda in sour
cream. Mix and sift dry in
gradients and add to sugar,
butter, and egg mixture al
ternately with the sour cream.
Set in ice-box over night.
Press, instead of roll, to de-
sired thickness. Shape with
tumbler top. Sprinkle with
sugar, chopped nutmeats or
cocoanut, or leave plain. Bake
at 375 degrees.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day For the
seventy-f1fth successive year we have set
aside the 30th of May in memorial to
those Americans who offered their lives,
in one war after another, to establish and
maintain in this world a sanctuary for
democracy. Up to the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, more than seven million men
had fought in American uniforms, first
in order to form a more perfect union
and later to secure the blessings of liberty
to themselves and their posterity.
Almost another million went through
hell in the Confederate butternut, fight
ing for what seemed to them the essence
OF true democracy. They lost, but out
Of their sacrifices the integrity, the sin
certify and the vigor of our federal union
were strengthened. Now another two
to three millions are in uniform. Three
times as many more may yet be called
from their homes and sent onto the
worlds battlefelds, once more to pre-
serve the blessings of liberty for us who
stay at home.
All that we have today, and all thatwe
are as Americans, We owe to the gallant
millions who, from ITS through 1918,
held liberty to be dearer than life or
creature comforts. But for them we
should not have acquired our many bless
ings, tangible and intangible Our in
dustrial, commercial, and material SUI
premacy, which have made even our poor
seem prosperous by other nations stand
ards, did not spring full blown from the
magic soil of America.
True, that soil was rich and generous.
But so is RuSsia's. The abundance which
we achieved was product of democracy,
Of a way of life which gave to every man
privileges and opportunities and incen-
tives which long have been the worlds
envy. We say this not to boast, but
rather to emphasize that our democracy,
the cornerstone of everything we hold
dear, was bought with blood, guarded
with blood, and preserved with blood
down through the generations.
Again we are required to offer supreme
sacrifices to assure that those peoples who
could not create their own working democ-
racy shall not by force Of arms, deprive
us OF ours To the millions of soldier
heroes of past wars whose graves we
decorate tomorrow, and to those other
millions who still survive to march to the
cemeteries where their comrades lie, let
us offer vocally pledge that they should
not and do not really need: We,too, are
ready to keep the faith of our fathers,
whatever the cost.

Rousing Send-Of

We pity the staff that will aid George
McDuff in the administration OF fair
rents throughout the Waterbury defense
area. Already it's membership has been
classified and it's efforts catalogued. They
have been duly baptized, christened,
confirmed, welded, and given final
rites. Pontificating at the services
were the Waterbury American and Re-
publican. Before the job of controlling
initiation through limitation of rentals
could be even started the entire process is
characterized as strictly political, worth
little, and typically New Deal.
Well, it doesn't seem to us that the
as-yet-unnamed assistants of Mr.Mc Duff
should be so violently held up to public
gaze and scorn. They'll probably earn
their bread-and-but and there certainly
will be plenty of work to do despite any
claims to the contrary. We don't dispute
any claim about the fairness of local land
lords. We agree that most of them are not
hard-hearted wretches, exacting high
rentals and giving as little as possible in
return. A long time ago The Democrat
pointed out that the rental question had
two sides, and both weren't the tenants.
But apparently the local Fair Rent
Committee has been able to do little with
the percentage of landlords who feel that
in good times they are entitled to more
rent and jack up rentals. And we say
this not in criticism of the committees
sincere efforts. A competent authority
vested with power and with all the
necessary information should achieve
results. And rentals, like all other prices,
have to be pegged at certain level,
which for this area is April l, 1941. This
may be debatable point, but certainly
not one to be assailed as ridiculous and
beaureaucratic.
II there could be criticism of the
establishment of rent administration in
this area 1t might be on the score that
the government achieved great success
in draft registrations and various forms
Of rationing, all on volunteer basis,
whereas now 1t proposes to venture into
the field Of salaried and classified enl-
ployes TO transact another branch of our
all-out war effort.

1t comes as no great surprise that
friends Of DR.. Frank M. AnastaSio, our
present State Treasurer, are concerned
with having him become a candidate for
office again this fall despite the fact that
by the time nominations and elections
roll around he will be far away in
training camp or center, having just been
called for active duty. He won't be the
only candidate who would be elected in
absentia, for High Sheriff Ernest L.
Novey of Torrington has every intention
of seeking reelection to his office,
although he has been in service for more
than year.
Personally we don't think that men
who are called into service should try to
hold down two jobs at the same time.
The principle is the same as that of dual
job-holding in our state or local govern
ments There are enough men to go
around for all the jobs without trying to
concentrate them. We say this in no dis
paragement Of those mentioned in this
connection. Naturally il man is elected
to public office he hates to relinquish it
when called on by virtue of his patriot
ism to serve with our armed forces.
That's bit different than being re-
turned to office after the interrupted
term has expired. Certainly someone
else has to do the work of the public
office, so why shouldn't someone else be
the incumbent. If doctor or dentist
or lawyer or any professional man is
called into service he doesn't expect to
be remunerated for the operations, the
extractions or suits filed by those who
care for his patients and clients. He
hopes to reestablish himself on his return,
but he does not claim priority rights on
what he has sacrificed And we fail to
see where the man in public life has any
more claim on the office he leaves than
the private citizen on the job he gives
up.

In Today's Mail

AS a member of the Young Repub-
lican Club of Waterbury I reiterate
what I stated before. The Young
Republican Club of Waterbury is
joke and If there are members of
the club who intend to assemble at
the meeting of the club at the Hotel
Elton tonight to give Joe Talbot the
works, let me advise them that none
Of them were ever anything but cool
towards Joe and that he won the
special election without any great
effort on the part of the Young Re
publican Club of Waterbury. Let
me further state in this article, be-
cause / will be unable to attend the
meeting, that with my permission
the secretary Of the club can enter
in the minutes of the meeting that
recommend that advice be given
to the leaders of the New Haven
County League to grow up and not
act like children. If the state asso-
citation offers them vice presidency
accept 1t like men. 1t is only an
honorary office anyway. Why should
any one man or small group con-
slider that he should be the presi-
dent against the wishes of the nom
mating committee that the state
group adopted as the deciding voice
in who would be president.
As soon as the Republican leaders
or Republican clubs realize that the
Republican party is not a plaything
for a small group to control the
sooner the party will be function
ing as it should. To the handful
land I wrote reporters to attend the
meeting to correct me if I am
wrong) half OF who will not have
their dues paid that will attend the
meeting tonight say consider rea-
sonable what steps you are going to
take. Don't be led by a small group
that wants to line up with sore
heads. Do something constructive
for your party and then as Repub-
lican no Democrat can approach you
then with that look Of sorrow for
you.
JOHN McHUGH,
A Republican.

Much interest has been expressed in
the effect that the war will have on
construction of the Wilbur L. Cross
Parkway. 1t should have considerable eff
feet How much depends on the extent
to which automobile usage is curtailed
in the months to come. If tire and gaso-
line rationing continues unabated traffic
on the Merritt Parkway will dwindle
away to what, might be called nothing
compared to what it has been. And on
continued usage of the Merritt Parkway
depends to a great extent the progress
of the Cross Parkway for it is the dimes
collected at the several toll stations along
the Merritt Parkway that make it pos
sible for the state to push the Cross
Parkway further through the state. 1t
may even come to the point where moth
ing can be done on the brand new route
for long time to come. We hope not,
but we must be prepared for such turn
of events.

The ban on the sale of heating and
plumbing equipment is said to have been
lifted. But if you talk to anyone in the
trades most affected by such sales you're
apt to discover that they're not SO sure
any bans have been lifted. AS has been
quite characteristic of all such curtail-
ment in the sales of articles that contain
critical materials there's more or less
confusion with definite lack of official
announcement on the matter at hand.
However, with a general belief that
plumbing fixtures are now obtainable
a process of trying to get them will sooner
or later prove whether or not there is
or isn't ban.

SAME OLD BUNCH USING THE
REPUBLICAN, PARTY FOR
A RACKET

May 20, 1912.
Editor of The Democrat:
During the days of prohibition
racketeering and rackets prevailed
throughout the whole country.
For a number of years the Re-
publican party to the SO called lead
ers of the party locally has been a
racket to function as they wished
regardless of the desires of the rank
and file of registered Republicans
in the city.
Today the Republican party in the
State of Connecticut is considered
by some Of the leaders of the party
and cliqueS in various sections to
be their own particular racket.
These same leaders and minority
groups who unfortunately control
the party, through their petty lar
ceny, scheming and underhanded
tactics will in the near future attain
the same fate that all racketeers
and rackets inevitably meet.
The Republican voters of the
State of Connecticut are an intelli-
gent group of citizens and fully re-
alize that the party is fast decay
ing because of dilitary attention on
their part to their own rights and
are fully aware that the party has
fallen into the hands of uncompe-
tant6.
Republicans throughout the State
of Connecticut numbered in thou
sands know fully well that Congress
man Joseph E. Talbot Is the one
man today in the state who could
successfully lead the party back 10
its proper standing politically in
the nation. Joe Talbot Is too big for
these same leaders to handle. HIS
honesty, ability, experience and the
manner in which he calls a spade o
spade is too much for them to Ia
thom. Therefore the Inethical
methods being used daily TO try and
discredit Joe Talbot in the eyes OF
the public are in vain. The dispic-.
able article presented to Q local
newspaper attributing to Joe Tai
bot the blame for riffs among the
Young Republicans OF the City OF
Waterbury and the New Haven
County can be considered but am
other endeavor on the part Of those
who know that Joe Talbot Is mo-
body's stooge.
Republicans want Joe Talbot as
their candidate for governor IN the
fall election and realize that he and
he alone has a very good chance OF
defeating Gov. Hurley but those In
control that do not want Joe Tai
bot as the candidate for governor
win stop ct nothing 70 prevent ~

Selected Poem
THE DANCE OF MAY

(By Louise Lord in the Boston Post)
The invitation to the dance
Was left by the April breeze,
The place it said, Gods palace,
Out among the trees.
The time, from early morning,
Until the close of day,
Whether rain or sunshine,
All through the month of May,
The music comes from bird-land,
Their sweetest serenade,
The dancers, springtime flowers that bloom
On hill, in field and glade.
The sentinels that stand on guard
Are the sturdy elms and oaks,
Lady Birch, in silvery gown,
Is there to welcome folks.
The dance hall floor is covered
With splashes of grassy green,
And bits of siivery ribbon,
Like brooks running in between.
The canopy that hangs DER head
Is that of heavenly blue,
Draped softly night and morning,
In tints of every hue.
The lights that flood the palace
Are golden rays Of sun
That fall upon the dancers fair,
Like spotlights one by one.
The dancers are so dainty
AS they gently nod and sway,
In dresses fringed and petaled,
From rainbow colors gay.
When the day Is over,
And the sun draws back its light,
The dancers give curtsy,
And wish us all Goodnight"
Then twinkling stars shine in the blue,
And there sweet vigil keep,
AS safe within Gods palace
Flowery dancers fall asleep.
