NEED FOR A FULL-TERM AND
FULL-TIME GOVERNOR
Editor Askov American:


quote portion of Hjalmar Peter
sens statement made July 20 when
he filed for the office of governor
on the Farmer-Labor ticket:
81 shall be a full-terin, full-time
governor. My administration will
give its whole-hearted support to
the federal government in the pro-
secution of the war"
People of Minnesota, is it not about
time that we have full-time gov
ernor?
For the past four years we have
had governor who spends his time
travelling around the country deliv-
ering political addresses for the Wall
Street-Willkie crowd.
In 1888 Mr.. Stassen told us that
former Governor Benson was spend
ing most of his time travelling to
Communist conventions in New York
Who has done more travelling while
in office than Governor Stassen?
Attending a Willkie convention is
the same as attending Communist
convention for the reason that both
conventions are ruled by handful
of little dictators with big ideas.
Mr.. Stassen has the idea that he
is the only man in the entire state
who is capable of being our COVER
nor during the next session of the
State Legislature.
Has Mr.. Stassen forgot what his
political buddy, Mr.. Willkie, told us
in 1910? Mr.. Willkie said in 1910
that there were no indispensable
men" in America.
Yes, the people of Minnesota want
full-time governor. We need a
governor who will take care of the
states affairs instead of mixing into
the affairs of Europe and telling the
American people what must be done
after the war, even before the war
has been won.
The people of Minnesota also de-
mand an administration that will
intellectually support the federal
government in it's effort to win this
war.
The present governor has done
much talking, but to date we have
seen very little action.
Loose talk and committee meet
ings will never win a war. This
war will only be won with sweat,
blood and tears.
The governor may take the credit
for the several defense plants that
are located in our state, but most
of us know where the credit belongs
During war time it is very essential
that we have as our governor, man
who will not forget his obligation
to the people and at the same time
support America in its prosecution
of the war.
The man who has the necessary
qualifications to successfully conduct
the affairs of Minnesota at this time
and whom I would recommend to
the voters of Minnesota is the present
railroad and warehouse commission
er, Hjalmar Petersen.
| MIR. Petersen needs no introduction
to the people of Minnesota. His
record as governor and as mem
Der of the Railroad and Warehouse
| Commission is excellent.
Mr.. Petersen has never had tc
serve the Wall Street crowd in order
to save his own political neck.
| Hjalmar Petersen has always
served the people and it will be these
people who will elect him to the
governorship.
I urge the people of Minnesota .te

There you have the proof, in black
and white, that Ball is right-that the
isolationists were too obtuse to see
what was coming, while to the inter-
ventionists it was plain as pike
staff.
I admit that the reasoning by
which I arrive at this conclusion
may seem a trifle complicated. But

Then came Pearl Harbor.
Just why the Japs attacked us I'm
not sure.
I've not heard anybody suggest
that our persistent course of I'M
neutral behavior toward the Euro
pean Axis had anything to do with
it in that Hitler sicked Japan on
us in order to divert our annoying
attentions from himself. So it prob
ably wasn't that.
I guess it must have been for the
usual reason-that they were out to
conquer the world.

Mistaken Identity
 Claimed When Case
 Was Presented Today
Air Raid Warden Believed to Have JOtted Down Wrong Marker Number; Driver of Car Refused to
 Stop During BIaCkOut Test
NAU UGATUCK Correspondent: Wm ,. Baxter-RhOne Naugatuck 3Sa3

an incident in the air raid alert here Tuesday night when cal failed to stop on Prospect street in response to an air raid warden's order.
 It was said the warden took down what he thought was the number of the car and this apparently led to the arrest of MT. Shapiro. How ever in court today, Pros. Atty Thomas R. Neary asked for nolle without payment indicating it was a case of mistaken identity. It is assumed that the marker number was not the proper one. It was learned Shapiro told a friend here he was working at the time.
 The case of another person, who allegedly failed to stop at the signal of 8 warden, is scheduled to be heard in court tomorrow.
 The case of John Rodov of 40 Lines Hill street, charged with operating without first obtaining a license, and failure to stop at the signal of an officer, was continued until Saturday. He posted a $25 bond. Supernumerary William Pas seek made the. arrest.
 Cases of Mrs. Katarzyna Chmie- linski of 16 Sheffield Lane, charged with breach of peace, and Mrs. R. Gembrucki, of the same address, al- so charged with breach Of peace, were continued until August 5. Ser geant Richard Ostrom arrested the latter and Patrolman George Fogut arrested Mrs. Chmielinski.
 Judge Martin L. Caine presided.

SCHOOL PAINT
 JOB UNDERWAY
Sash and Trim at Salem School Reprinted; Only
 Improvement Now

Naugatuck, July 24- Work o1 painting Sashes and trimmings al the Salem school is underway now it was learned from Supt. of Schools Harold E. Chittenden today. This is the only improvement which has been made so far this summer in local schools.
 Usually the summer repair pro- gram is an extensive one but a combination of circumstances have resulted in it being limited this year. It is customary to oil some of the older floors but because ot the danger of air raids and other possible fire hazards, this was not done this year, MT. Chittenden said.
 Work of preparing blackout cur tatns for the big windows at the high school has been completed now, and the building can be com- pletely blacked out in quick time. This building is used frequently at night, with first aid or other de- fense classes meeting there, and also when school again begins, night scho0 classes will be resumed there.
 MR. Chittenden left this morning for Hartford to attend a meeting of the state retirement board, of which he is chairman.

Flood Rescue Work
 Directed By Priests
St. BOnaventure College Faculty Members Help Conl-

sylvania. The entire personnel of the college played 8 prominent part in flood rescue operations.
 No cattle were lost at the college but few chickens and pigs were drowned. There were no human cas- ualties. Most of the pigs, housed in the pen which was almost con- pletely submerged by the rising waters of the Allegheny river, were rescued by menas of an old vat, fixed up as a ferry and operated by ropes. Although the water rose to a depth of some fifteen or twenty feet on some parts of the college farmlands, approximately 75 per cent of which were covered with water, the campus itself was at no time under water.
 Sisters attending summer school helped arrange beds in the class rooms of De La Roche hall, and in the gymnasium. The sisters were: Sisters of St. Joseph from Erie and Rochester; Sisters of St. Francis from the communities at Williams ivlle, N. Y, Stella Niagara, N. r., and Peekskill, N. Y.; Benedictine Sisters; Mercy Sisters from Roches- ter and Buffalo; Sisters of the Im- maculate Heart of Mary, Philadel- phia, Pa; and Dominican Sisters from Newburgh, N. Y.
 Among the homeless being housed at the college were numerous col ored persons, rescued from their homes in Olean. In the group was Thomas H. Barnes, 94 year old Clean resident who termed the flood the worst he has ever seen in Olean. Besides refugees from the flood area, the college is still quar- tering 50 railroad section crew workers from both the Pennsylvania and the Erie railroads, who are en- gagged in repairing the track beds of these railroads in the flood areas.
 Students and teachers answered a call at four o'clock Sunday morning to help in evacuating families in Olean. These included forty Fran ciscan clerics, twenty aviation ca- dets now stationed at the college, and twenty colegians-as well as many of the priests. The college switchboard, which was open night and day during the emergency, call ed the Allegheny and Clean Red Cross offices repeatedly early Mon- day morning to offer transportation and housing facilities for the evacu- ees, and any other assistance need ed. All priests, clerics, aviation ca dets and collegians were on twenty four hour call during the entire em- ergency.
 Ten R. o. T. c. trucks were rush. ed to Portville Saturday afternoon, and four were stranded there when they became stuck and were con- pletely submerged in water.
 Very Rev. Celsius Wheeler, o. F. M., guardian of the St. Bonaventure College Franciscan Friary, and Squadron Commander of the Clean Unit of the Civilian Air Patrol, and himself drove truck loaded with food from the College to Portville Sunday. Several other loads of food were also sent out by the college to relieve shortages in surrounding vi- entities.
 In charge of the work were the Rev. Lambert Zaleha, O. F. M., Civ ilian Defense Coordinator for the St. Bonaventure College Unit; Rev. Victor Mills, O. F. M., in charge of the Red Cross at the college; and Father Celsius.
