WILD WEST STUFF IN THE
OLD TOWN SUNDAY

Ernest Rife was taken into Gus

an alleged charge of drunkenness
by Deputy Sheriff c. S. Colley
and Joe Baker, Constable of the
Clintwood district. All went we'll

DID THE GROUNDING
SEE HIS SHADOW?

If February 2 was Grounding
Day, we are due for six weeks
more of winter weather, as the
sun shone brightly part of that
day. However, if the grounding
appears on the first day of Feb
ruary, as some of the oldtimers
insist he does, then spring is
practically here, as a more dark
and gloomy day has seldom been

Hamburg Coffee Party

Every Schoolboy remembers the story of the Boston Tea Party, in which Ameri- can coloniStS, disguised as Indians, threw precious tea into the harbor and precipi- tated, or at least advanced considerably, the Revolution. That story inevitably, comes to mind when one reads about the Hamburg Stevedores who tossed coffee, intended for the Russian front, into the streets and thereby brought about riot ing in Germany's biggest seaport.
 Such an outbreak would be significant anywhere in the Reich. It indicates that even the sadiStic repression of the Gestapo has not broken the spirit of the TeutonS be- yond repair. It suggests that the common people are taking their food shortages pretty hard that either our blockade of Germany is even more effective than we had supposed, or that Germans can't take it the way the British have.
 The fact that the incident occurred in Hamburg opens other intriging fields of speculation. It was there, in 1918, that sailors mutinied against the kaiser's offi- cers, which lighted waiting finder and led to Wilhelms flight and the collapse of his government.
 One shouldn't expect history to repeat itself too minutely, but it is human to hope. Moreover and this may prove important in the end - since 1918 Ham, burg has been the Communist capital of non-Soviet Europe. While Hitler was rising, Moscow had in Hamburg an or ganization which = if the Comintern had not outsmarted itself - could have stopped the Austrian house painter in his tracks and saved the world from it's cur rent trouble. By misjudging relative nui- sance values = by playing with the Nazis against the Socialists, the balance off, power Communists helped Hitler obtain the ascendancy, and then in turn became victims of his ferocity
 Even then, the Harburg Communist cells resisted longer and more success fully than those elsewhere. There is reason to suppose that through all those years while Hitler was supreme that it was suicidal for Red to show his head in the Reich, nuclei cells continued to function in Hamburg. If this is the case, it seems reasonable to speculate that these Communists organizations now are taking advantage of the misery and discontent in Germany, of the war, wrecking of Ham, burg's vital foreign shipping industry, of the terrible bombing which Britain has showered upon Hamburg, to stir up internal revolt against the fuehrer.

Not Decisive Enough

While it can't be described as a vacil- lating policy, nevertheless, there does seem to be something wrong with the way the gasoline rationing system is be- ing handled out of Washington. What seems to be lacking is decisiveness, such as would cause motorists to agree that the program is the right one to be adopted and that their compliance with it will help win the war and restore normal driving conditions throughout the nation. The postponement of the new registration period is just one of many things to cause uneasiness and disaffection.
 We honestly think that great many motorists have tried to comply with all the requests made by high officials to do less driving. Certainly the retail gasoline business has been practically reduced to the point where it's simply struggling for existence. All of us want vital supplies diverted into war chan nels so that our armed forces and those of our allies may better carry the fight to the enemy. But we want this done in decisive fashion and not piecemeal.
 Maybe it's sign of cantankerousness to pick on slight details like these. Wash ington is without a doubt mad-house of unceasing effort as this nation en- deavors to do something that no other could or would attempt. We're building up mighty war machine and at the same time keeping those of our allies on their feet. It doesn't take visits from Winston Churchill to tell us that Uncle Sam is the mainstay of the democratic powers right now and England would be in sorry fix if we were to concentrate solely on our own efforts. But we would like to- see bureaucratic powers clipped and order restored by making the men who really know what to do have charge of essential wartime programs.

Barkis Is Willing

According to the announcements in the press earlier this week former Cover nor Raymond E. Baldwin has finally said that he will be the COP candidate for governor if nominated. We hope the announcement didn't cause too much surprise. It would have been surprising if the announcement hadn't come, for 1t was pretty obvious as far back as the day after election in 1940 that two years from that time the battle would be be- tween the same two contestants, barring accidents or unforeseen events.
 The Republican Party could scarcely do anything else but make the former governor it's leading candidate all through the months of preparation for the 1922 convention It evidently chose to do this in coy fashion with MT. Bald win being regarded as out of it today, but very much in it tomorrow. To the average man this doesn't seem to make sense, but there are lots of things in pol itics, particularly the lining up of can- didates, that don't make sense.
 The renewal of the Hurley-Baldwin feud should be interesting. Whether it will turn into dog fight or merely polite exchange of opinions remains to be seen. On the surface it's going to be hard to get front page news out of even a gubernatorial contest when the war news has reached critical turn of af- fairs The Hurley regime has been a good one and the governor himself has directed afafirs in such exemplary fash ion through the early days of the war that his position right now is pretty solid. Even Socialist threat from Mayor Jasper McLevy doesn't cause too much alarm.
 The threat to election this fall, though, is in apathy of the voters. It hits all parties and might make big difference where either one or the other major political party counts on big majorities to run up lead. That's the problem local organizations will have to solve and it won't be easy.

Ter knew what we were accomplishing he would be frightened, the other that he would be stimulated to greater counter effort.
 We believe the second idea is silly. Hitler has been all-out for months. We hope that Mir. Davis will tell everything that won't give military assistance to the axis.

There's nothing like brisk walk in the open air, recommends the State of Connecticut Not only does it drive away the blues and all thoughts of worry and woe, but it freshens the body and spirit both. So attention is being called these days to the excellent system of trails that criss-crosses the state. The State Development Commission thinks that more people ought to get acquainted with these trails today when motoring is at premium. While maps of the trails in the Waterbury area aren't ready yet, they will be shortly. If you want others immediately you can obtain them by writ ing to the Connecticut Development Commission, State Office Building, Hartford, or to the Forest and Park Asso- citation, New Haven. Incidentally trail in the Mattatuck State Forest north of us is probably the forerunner of all the many trails that now attract hundreds of hikers and devotees of the great outdoors at all seasons of the year.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-24

If you are married and now classified as IA, your draft board will be directed to shift you to 3-A. That means the chances are strong you will not be called for at least another to 12 months, depending on the trend of the war and on what is done about lowering the draft age to 18.
 If you are unmarried, but have dependents and are chased 3-A, you will be moved up to, IA and headed for induction by fall. The new allowance and allotment act, under which soldiers with depend- ents put up $22 month and the government $2S, is the basis for this change.
 As Selective Service officials figure 1t, by offsetting these two switches against one another, the 4,500,000 army which the War De- pertinent wants to raise by Janu- ary, can be obtained from 1-A's in the 20 to 45 age groups. After that, the army still needs men, Selectsve Service either will have to turn to married men now de- ferred, or the draft age will have to be lowered to 18, as strongly favored by military chiefs.
 That will take congressional ac- tion, and until next November, there is no chance of anything be- ing done by Congress. Even after November elections there is no certainty Congress will be any more eager to act. It will depend on what happens in the elections and the way the war is going. If 1t Is not going well, Congress is likely to be more willing to follow the demands of the military and include 18-year olds. ...-.
 If that is done, then married
 exempts will get another breath
