women buying non-launderable
sheer blouses, but we can't say we
blame them. These delicate, super

Many, of course, will launder beau

Fire Local Schools Ordered
Checked On Health Conditions
Chairman Ray Stone Of
Board Of Education
Answers Criticisms

Chairman Ray Stone Of the board
OF education told The Democrat
today he plans TO call upon officials
Of the local health and fire depart
rnents and the office Of the build
ing inspector TO check on health
safety and fire conditions OF five
schools surveyed by the Connecticut
State Board Of Education.
Two Of the five schools, Duggan
and MerTiman, were reported by
state school officials to have poor
health conditions, while the health
conditions at Hendricken, II. s.
Chase and Maloney schools were
reported only "fair".
The report states that fire protec-
ton provisions at Chase school are
only fair" and good" in the other
four schools. Accident protection
measures at Chase are good, but
only fair" at Hendricken, Maloney,
Duggan and Merriman.
I'VE have received the report Of
the state board and have endeav-
ored to make improvements in some
Of the cases cited" said Mr.. Stone
today. He added however, that In
spections by the members Of the
board Of education have failed to
show some OF the conditions claimed
In the state boards report.
In reply to. the charge that the
local school authorities have not
reported on action taken to remedy
defects cited by the state, Mr.. Stone
said, "A number OF repairs and Inn
improvements are underway. The
reason we have not replied to the
state boards report is that all their
recommendations have not been fol-
lowed out"
Mr.. Stone said that the matter
would be thrashed out at the next
meeting Of the board of education
and that health and fire officials
would be asked to inspect the five
schools and comment on the state
report In the light Of their find
ings.
"These are serious charges" said
Mr.. Stone, land we intend to go
into them thoroughly"

paign interests of all G. O. P. con-
gressional candidates regardless OF
their isolationist records.
This is Martins strategy: For
more than a month he has been
making trips to various key states.
Here is detailed inside account
of which happened on one OF these
visits to the midwest: Arriving In
the principal city Of the state, the
first thing Martin did was give a
press interview in which he said
Boys. I'm here to make speech
not talk politics."
Then he made a speech, urging ma
tional unity and making no mention
of politics. But after shaking off the
press, Martin held a three-hour
hide-away conference with state and
county leaders. carefully canvaSsing
each district and discussing Repub-
lican congressional chances in them
Throughout the pow-wow there was
never any question raised of can
didate's stand on the foreign or any
other issue. The only consideration
was whether he was Republican.
Upshot Of the meeting was de-
cision to raise none for the cleo
ton Of Republican house candidates
in all the districts but three, which
are so strongly controlled by in
cumbent Democrats that it was felt
useless to oppose them. Not one
word Of this meeting leaked out tc
the local press, which carried big
headlines, however, of Martins unity
statements. Unity Joe" has fol-
lowed about the same tactics in ev-
cry state he has visited.

in any school building. He told
Mr.. Stone that there is O posi-
bility the state inspectors might
have found instances where at re-
cess school children threw orange
peels or papers in the toilets, but
these are cleaned regularly, he said
Mr.. Stone said that a survey Of
conditions III some OF the schools
was made recently by Health Of
ficer Edward j. Godfrey in company
with Commissioner George McDuff.
"A complete report on the sani-
tary conditions in all the schools
mentioned will be requested from
DR.. Godfrey" said Mr.. Stone.
Three new sanitary toilets have
been provided recently for installa-
ton in three schools, he said.
In Chase school, where fire pro-
lection provisions are only fair ac-
cording to the state report, Mr.
stone said that q new fire escape
is now being constructed.
Regular inspections are made by
the office of the fire marshal" he
continued. School Inspector Nc
Cough also makes weekly inspec-
tons, he said
In connection with the fire pro-
lection methods OF local schools,

They didn't dare say so publicly,
but privately they made no secret OF
their anger at Willkie. Also that
they intended to clip his wings IN
party affairs. This under-cover hos
tility has not disturbed Willkie. He
is sticking by his guns and made
this very clear in q recent letter to
q friend.
Instead Of playing politics at a
time like this" Willkie wrote, II feel
that both parties should be engaged
In electing candidates for the COM
ing elections who have the courage
and daring to see the world whole.
You couldn't be more anxious than
am to see the Republican party
prevail this year, but only with the
proper candidates.
In the language of Winston
Churchill, I say to you that ! am
more interested in the future than
the present. If the present contin-
ueS to quarrel with the past, there Is
no hope for the future"
Willkie has been deluged with let
tiers urging him to run for governor
Of New York, but friends say he
prefers not to seek political Office
this year so he can be free to wage
an aggressive fight against isola-
t.onist candidates.

WILKES attitude is in marked

1t was the second time that Chi
nese forces had taken Wenchow

despite constant British radio
warnings to the French people not

ing against the Germans, many of
them probably were fighting regard
less of certain Nazi reprisals.
In some quarters it was believed
that most of the dissidents of the
Dieppe population had been remov-
ed by the Germans some time ago,
following the uprising of French
men at the time of the British
commando raid on ST. Nazaire.
"I know that the Dieppe French
men are not going to stand and
watch the Germans and Allies
fighting in the streets without mix

spokesman.
