The Extravaganza On Ice Is Good for Man and Good for the Morale

Ice Capades, which has appeared at the New Haven Arena for the last two weeks is, in my mind, the one ard only extravaganza on ice. suited to entertain man, woman and child This show, composed of some of the worlds best ice artists such as Al Surete who in earlier days was struck by arthritis and the doctors said he would never walk again, but today he is one of the rinks out- starding comedians Trixie. who has juggled before most of the crown Princes of Europe. put on an exhi- bition which would easily put her in e class all by herself; Phil Taylor the originator of stilt skating which he has taught to such famous per- sonages as the Duke of Windsor and the Queen of Spain, has an act which brought many thrills to all the spellbound spectators: Last but by far not the least, Dona Ate wood ard Bobby Specht, the sweet- hearts of the ice, Dona possessing the U. s. A. Junior Amateur cham pionship and one half the Senior Championship for pair skating, at the tender age of i8. Bobby pulling down the U. s. figure skating cham pionship for l942. This couple is ter- rife and is cashing in on 1t before very hoSpitable audience all over the courtTy. These, combined with the rest of an all star cast. put on a grand show which was climoXed by patriotic scene ended by our National Anthem. Here was enter tainment which would relax any working man at the end of a hard week, working for victory.

Possible But
 Not Probable:

The Ofiice of Defense Transporta- ton is urging that the public ease the transportation situation by stay. ing at home and enjoying the recre- atlon which is within easy reach. Well, today Waterbury is one of the largest cities in this state, sport. ing a population of approximately 100 thousand people, but in compar- ison with New Haven and with Hartford and Bridgeport, she easily ranks last in the field Of sports and entertainment, New Haven, would say, can take first place because of the Yale Bowl and the New Haven Arena Waterbury has no doubt a very fine Stadium but it is only good for two seasons of the year.
 The government asks the people to stay home. Well then, why doesn't the government or other sources give the people something to be glad to stay home for. I know that they are asking 1t 90 that we will win this war in record time, but the soldiers on the home front who work 10 hours and over week need some form of relaxation. This In my mind is one of the most serious problems facing us at the present time, and 1t should be given due consideration.

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition"

Pete Coyla one of the Old Timers whom a youtgster will never forget because of his congenial manner. When I met Pete it was after a Harvard game in New Haven, I was introduced to this swell fellow in a parking place. Pete and I got talking and he asked me what col-' lege was my favorite. l answered Holy Cross. That vas my mistake because one of the legends of South Bend, wanted anybody he krew to go to Notre Dame. Another friend drew me aside and told me a story about Pete. One day before Notre Dane-Army game in New York rete, who. receives free passes to these games each year, went out on the field and made every player say the Lords Prayer before playing.
 That team went out there and beat the Army by one of it's largest scores. Pete knew what those boys needed, and he gave it to them.
 Pete, one of the immortal Knute Roclsne's best friends. lived with this great coach and player out at South Bend and helped him coach this team and look after 1t. Well, ever since this time, Pete Coyle has never missed Notre Dame game. He con- tinues to look after this team for his long dead friend.

Bob Jones opened his limited
speaking campaign for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor at
Coolidge Monday night with the
declaration ct is the duty of a
governor TO have a practical pro

"In the meantime" he said. "a

his state and nation by unifying
all elements, both governmental
and industrial. in an about drive
to speed the day of victory for
our armed forces.
This Is no time for empty
promises. the former governor
asserted. THE people are fed up
with political promises. They de-
mand action - not only on the
battlefront, but on the home front

Turning his attention to the
present governor, Mr.. o n g S
charged. "The present governor
of Arizona promised to do specific
things for the common good
when he sought your votes two
years ago. He has failed to make
good on those promises of only
two years ago"
Arizona's role in the war and
the importance of intelligent
planning for the postwar period
OF reconstruction were highlights
OF the Phoenix druggists talk.
LAS Americans we have one su-
preme objective-to win the war.
Mr. Jones stated. TO do so. we
must have unity on the home
front and an end to the petty
pickering and quarrels which
have begged down the operation
of state government the last two
years The place to do our fight
ing is on the battlefields, not
here at home"
