Protests Halt New State Time
Michigan Should Retain
Daylight Saving Time

OUR state legislature pcrpctrated lmpatn-
~ otic. an unjustifed and probably an unconst-
tutiona act in voting YESTERDAY TO take Michigan
off the new war time which went INTO effect all
oyer the nation last Monday.
Reason, given by the legislators for their high
handed connivcrv were vague and meaningless.
They didn't give the people Of the state an oppor-
tnltv Of expressing their opinion on the desirable
itv Of the new daylight saving time. They didn't
give the ncw time schedule fair trial.
They acted arbitrarily and automatically They
acted in caouS violation Of all the traditions Of
lcgiSlalinn which traditions recognize the need OF
grave dclibcration and discussion before laws are
enacted.
They acted in stupid and purblind defiance of
the national defense program because one Of the
tcucts Of the program is that national adoption OF
daylight saving time will help the defense effort
bv conserving electric power and coal for fuel and
maintaining the morale of the people by permitting
them more daylight for recreation.
THAT they acted conStitutionaly is open to
grave doubt 1t is probable they Will find that
the Interstate Commerce Commission has exclusive
power to set time zones for the several states.
Michigan legislators and some Of their upstate
constituents simply didn't like the new time.
So without saying anything 10 ANYBODY lcI
decided in their infallbe wisdom to ignore II and,
by ignoring it, to make Michigan alien to the other
states Of the nation.
If Michigan does not conform to the new time
it will create needless confusion in Michigan indus
try. Train schedules Will be intclfcrcd with and
efficient transportation Of our war products Will be
made more difficult.
Governor Van Wagner will perform highly
patriotic service TO his state and the people IN 1t
if ne promptly vctocs the outrageous act passed
Yesterday 50 rccklc>>ly and nthinkingIy by the
legislature.
The people of Michigan Will applaud his veto
The people of Michigan will applaud II as
gesture Of Justice and fitting rcbukc to an lnept

LET US SAVE THE UNION
By CHARLES S. HICKMAN

had affectiOnate OBJ
scrvance in war as i'm peace,
perhaps particularly 50 in
wartime because his greatest
service to his country was
rendered in a time of great
danger.
Mr.. Lincoln became presi-
dent just before the outbreak
of a war for which the nation
was unprepared, and which
was accompanied by many
discouraging events in its
early phases.
II should give us fresh
courage, since we are also
conducting war upon which
American destiny depends and
for which we were unpre-
pared and which has already
had many discOuraging
events, to recall the superb
leadership Mr.. Lincoln gave
the country in similar
crisis.
His birthday has been well
observed with such recOl-
lection.
II will be remembered that
i'm the early days Of the war
between the states, the Union
forces were sOrely pressed
and severely defeated.
The counterpart of Pearl
HarbOr was met at Bull Run,
not merely once but disccn-
certingly twice.
The story il told that after
one of many such defeats a
colleague inquired of Mr.. Lin
coin what the effect might be-
on the spirit of the army and
upon public morale, and what
capacities the Union might be
expected TO display for re-
coupling its fortunes.
And the president is sup
posed to have made reply, as
was his habit, with one of his
inimitable stories.
A certain cavalry officer. h"
said, suddenly found himself
in the midst Of an unantici-
pated action and was handi-
capped and, n he supposed,
incapacitatcd by big boil in
conveniently situated on that
part of his anatomy most
intimately associated with the
horse.
So he dismOunted. with
every intention of letting the
battle go on without him, Ia
whatever conclusion.
But almost Immediately a
mounted enemy detachment
appeared over a ridge, with
a great clamor of shouts and
shots, and the officer instantly
remOunted and joined his com
mand in the fray, forgetful OF
the boil and the pain--and
subsequently discovered TO his
surprise and satisfaction THAI
both boil and pain were gone
The officers conclusion
drawn from the experience
was that a good fright Was a
sure cure for bOils.
But the obvious moral MIR
Lincoln intended to illustrate
with this story was that thu
American people would MOI
be discouraged by hard ne
CesSities and harder defeats
but would be spurred by then
10 the reSolute defense of tn,
nation which "A slow and un
favorable beginning cOmpcls

 EXTRA SUGAR ENDS

A special additional registration period for allotments of sugar for canning was ended at Il a. m. to- day at rationing board headquar- ters, 119 West Main street. The special registration began yester- day.
 The additional period was ar ranged to accommodate those who were unable to file applications dur ing the regular registration period several weeks ago. More than 5000 women filed applications at that time.
 Registration yesterday and today was without the disorder that marked the original period. At that time, women fought for places in line, and in one scuffle, Edward Doyle, office manager for the board, had to call out extra police after his shirt had been torn from his back.

The drive against motorists who have failed to display auto use tax stamps on windshields of their cars has been intensified by internal revenue agents who, armed with summonses, are watching the city streets to violators. Yesterday after noon many car owners were stopped and questioned. Most of them pro- duced stamps from glove com- partments of their cars or from registration folders, and were re- minded of the regulation which re- quires display of the stamp on the windshield. Those who fail to pro- duce the stamp are ordered to ex- plain their reasons on special blank which is filed at the internal revenue office in Hartford.

TERRYVILLE BOY
 SUICIDE BY GAS
Daniel BandiSh, Jr, Leaves Note Claiming Father Re-
 fused Him Enlistment

Terryville. Aug. 25-Daniel Ban dish. Jr.. IT, of IS Burnham street was found dead in the kitchen of the five room flat which his parents, Mir. and Mrs. Daniel Bandish of Plymouth, Pa, recently rented. The body was found by his younger brother, Joseph, IS, who was awak- ened by factory whistles at 2 a. m. and detecting a queer odor, stumbl- ed through the kitchen falling over the body of his brother. The young CT lad was able to open a door and get into the fresh air. The younger brother told several passing people his brother was laying on the floor of the kitchen and upon irvestiga- ton the house was found filled with gas.
 A call was sent in for the inhala- tor squad of the Terryville Fire De- partment. Dr. Richard J. Lawton, medical examiner, and Chief of Po- lice George F. Rohe were also sum- moned. A note addressed to his father and mother was found in the kitchen and this was turned over 10 medical examiner, who after an ir- vestigation, stated the youth had committed suicide. He stated in his note that he was Respondent as his father had denied him permission to enlist in the Navy. Officer Rohe stated all spaces around the door and windows in the kitchen had been stuffed with paper.
 Daniel. and his brother were alone in the house. The. father left Sat-. 'urday for Plymouth, Pa, where their mother bad been a patient, in a hospital He was planning torre- turn to Terryville this week.

tested and dependable. Could the Garand stand the same abuse the Springfield stood in the mud of France, for example? The foot sol- dier worms his way along on the ground frequently, getting dust, sand, mud or water into the work ing parts of his weapon. What he wants and needs is a gun which can take abuse and still be effective.
 So they took the Garand out on the range and gave it the business. Sand was poured into the magazine, blown out and the piece fired. Mud was dumped in, wiped out hastily and the piece fired. Water was poured in and the gun was fired. It was dropped carelessly on the ground with the magazine open, it was pushed along ahead of sol dier advancing in prone position. Still it worked, just like the inven- tor said it would.

Youths of 19 are 1mpetuous and immature" the chaplain said. Add the stimulus of wartime = and $20 8 month extra pay-and the result is astonishing!"
 Most of the youths at Navy Pier taking technical training are around 19 and most of them have sweet hearts. An average of 50 of them consult with the chaplain every day. The young gob usually starts out something like this:

Constant Worry to Wife
 The chaplain squares his shoul- ders mad starts on argument form Number One:
 Does the sailor realize that $50 a month isn't enough to provide for wife, especially after $10 is de- ducted for insurnce payments and other expenses?
 The sailor explains that his wife will work. The chaplain points out that if child is born, the wife may be unable to work and finan- cial needs will be greater.
 If that doesn't provide enough to stop the impetuous young sailor, the chaplain says:
 Do you realize that after while all your wife may know about you is that your address is Care of Postmaster, New York?' She will he worrying constantly about your whereabouts and whether you are dead or alive"
 Warns About Separation
 He points out that the wife may suffer nervous tension from anxiety over the sailor as a husband and possibility the father of her child, far more than if he remained her fiance.
 The sailor learns that chances for a uccessful marriage are slim without a home and companion ship. He hears about the unfor- tunate results of many nasty mar riages by men in service during the last World War.
 The chaplain sanctions marriage only for those of second class petty officer rating or above - on econ omic grounds alone. Pay for that rating is $96 per month and $35.6O additional for support of a wife.
