HOW TO CHECK INITIATION

President Roosevelt has described complete ana
workable formula to check nfoton Lost NPrll ne
outlined seven-pont program in message 10 LOTT
aress These were his recommendations;
|. Tex heavily, to keep personal and corporate
profits low.
T. Fix ceilings prices
B. Stabilize salaries and wages
a Stobizes the prices poid formers tor their
produce.
$. Divert individual income from spending to the
purchase Of war bonds.
g. Rotion all scarce commodities, both TOR eQu't-
able distribution and to prevent auction prices from
being established.
7. Discourage credit and instollnent buying, en-
eo,,rooe the povnent of debts mortgages and other
obligations
Thot program Leaves out no important measure,
and includes nothing which is not important
Nevertheless initiation hes proceeded since that
time too fost for the mental comfort OF those who
look ahead to tomorrow. Why?
Because so many Of the Presidents wise words
have remained only lines Of printing in newspaper
columns They have not been translated into effective
action.
We are being toxed heavily, but not heavily
enough and far from wisely
Ceilings have been fixed on prices But this was
only stopeop Unless the rest Of the program is et-
fectuoted price ceilings can not ovoi much longer.
Salaries and woees have not been stabilized.
The sterilization point for farm prices was set
so high thot it constituted goal rather than cell
inq Secretary Wickord comedies that the 10
Der cent-of-pority scheme is fo|ocious
War bonds are being Sold But far too many OF
them are going to banks where they create new ored-
it which contributes to the initiation we want to halt.
Credit and nstonent buying have been dis
couroeed Payment Of debts has not been encouraged
There is no provision by which the person who needs
Mr. Roosevelt and pays debts get credit against
his tax bill On the contrary, many feel thot if they
leave their debts and initiation continues. they will
be able to pay off with cheaper money.
We can check initiation by doing what President
Roosevelt advises.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

does not call for high technical
knowledge.
The idea, of course, is to up
root lot of seat-polishing Off
GERS who are fit for active duty,
and TO replace them with men
who can polish the seat just as
well, but who wouldn't be at
home behind a machine gun en-
placement. And the new pro-
gram would seem to indicate
that Army isn't taking too kind
ly to the Army Specialist Corps,
which was organized for the
same purpose - releasing line
officers for field duty.
ARMY RESENTMENT
Chief difference between Ar
my Administrative and Army
Specialist is that the ne WHY
formed schools will pluck their
candidates from the ranks,
while the Specialist Corps was
supposed TO haul in from civil
ian life such men whose exper-
fence fitted them for Army adj
ministration, but whose age
and or physical qualifications
entirely immunized them from
selective service. 1t is likely
that men from both outfits soon
will be working side by side.
However, the suspicion is that
Army never cottoned to the
idea of the Specialist Corps;
that there was somewhat nat
ural service resentment toward
taking a civilian, arraying him
in uniform, and handing him a
rank that often topped men who
had made Army their peace
time career Many we're the pit
falls that gaped before the Spe-
cialist Corps, and thick was the
red tape.
Specialist Corps public rela-
tons said today, in a guarded
voice, that I'VE are releasing a
number Of men to Army duty
every day, and hey on d that
point we do not care to talk"
This is something of far cry
from the earlier days Of the
corps, when the public relations
was anxious to tell all.
At any rate, there has been
no noticeable flood o. Special
list Corpsmen into desk jobs, and
no staggering exodus of un-
chained regular officers to field
assignments. Hence the newly
formed schools, while not a du-
plication of Specialist Corps,
might we'll be designed to dis
place the civilian outfit. One of
Army's peculiarities is that it
likes to have regular Army men
doing Army work.
EXPECT MORE SCHOOLS
Selection for admission to the
administrative schools will par
allel selection for, regular Off
Ger training. After a man has
completed his basic training, he
can apply along regular chan
nels for a crack at the school.
If his education, civilian train
ing or experience qualities him,
in he goes and pops out with
second lieutenant's bars.
Of course, opportunity is nee
essarly limited at the moment,
since the three schools accom-
modate only some $50 candi-
dates apiece. But facilities I'M
doubtedly will expand as the
draft draws more and more linn
tied servicemen into the Army.
1t is not too optimistic TO say
that in time the limited service
mans chances for a commission
will equal his huskier brother s
In any event, it's a boon fol
the mass of men who we're dole
fully contemplating duration
enlistment bereft Of chance &c
rise from the ranks.

Scrap metal in and about the school buildings was also gathered and sold for the war effort. The money raised from this was turned over to the town to be credited to the school departments account. Money from the sale of the scrap collected by the children was turned over to the principals of the various schools collecting the scrap. This money will be used for educational purposes in the scholo.
 MT. Chittenden reported to the board he had stopped tranSporta- tion of children living in the Cotton Hollow section, those living east of the Junction of May street and Null berry Hill and some Kindergarten children in accordance with instruc- tions of the board at the last meet ing. He added he had not stopped transportation beyond Millville school. He then pointed out the de- partment pays the Connecticut Rail- way and Lighting Co., SIS a day for bus service in this section and regu- lations of the board to stop trans portation beyond Millville school cut bus mileage by about third.
 According to Mir. Chittenden, he had taken this question up with bus authorities and htey agreed to lower the daily cost from SIS to $i6. Be. cause the reduction was small, he said, he has not up to the present time curtailed transportation in this section. When the board voted to cut transportation 1t was for the pur- pose of effectlng savings on tires and gasoline. It is expected the queS- ton of transportation in this section will Dc taken up again with bus officials.
 There was some discussion on what would be done here should 1t become necessary to start a nursery school so parents could aid in the war effort by working in the local defense plants. MT. Chittenden pointed out that local plants are seeking more help and added 1t is almost impossible to bring in outside labor because there is no place to house them. so 1t is almost impera- tive that the local supply of labor be used to the limit.
 The board members were in favor of having the superintendent 90 ahead with arrangements when the time arrived. The superintendent said the department has equipment left over from the federal nursery classes conducted here several years ago. He said such a school would be for training and caring for chill dren whose both parents are work irg and not place where parents could leave their children while they went on days outing.
 MT. Chittenden then added 1t was his opinion, and the board members agreed with him, that the cost of such a school should be borne in part by parents of the children att tending. Mir. Chittenden said the cost to the parents would be nom- inai. He said he believed the fac- tories would be willing to assist as the school would make 1t possible for them to get more help,
 Mrs. ValeSca Downes acted as sec- retary Of the meeting. Dr, Charles S. Kennedy was not present.
