The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-05

New York City opened it's schools after the Christmas vacation on last Friday. The opening wasn't success by any means. Between 3o0,o00 and 100000 pupils were absent, continuing the recess until today. The absences ranged all the way from 10 to 70 per cent throughout the city's schools with 40 percent the average. Nor mally absences run to about 5 per cent. All of which definitely proves that the educators and school board members who were opposed to the Friday reopen ing knew what they were talking about. And the city is going to pay, too, for try ing to enforce the shortened vacation in decreased state school aid which is figured out on the basis of average at. tendance. A wholesale slump like that of Fridays, will pull down the total. Figures now place the loss in school aid at about $1O0,0O0 So all in all, the experiment, if you care to call it that, was not success and cost the city money. How much bet ter to have carried the vacation over to Monday as most communities did.

Pay Is Blacked Out, Too

Suppose you work in a factory. Along comes blackout period. For an hour managers, ma foremen and employees alike seek shelter or perform their blackout duties.
 Is that hour and half "hours worked" under terms of the Wage-Hour Law? No, rules the Wage-Hour division of the Department of Labor. Insofar as the Wage-Hour Law is concerned, blackouts and afraid alarms are not Ion the en- ployer," but will just have to be charged up against those forces that have cost us so much already-the aggressor nations.

Reckless or Careless Use

A recent bulletin of the State Motor Vehicle Department reveals that 72 more persons were killed in automobile acci- dents during 1941 than during the pre- vious year. A detailed survey of the 12- month period shows some encouraging features over preceding years, but the sum total is certainly not one of which we can be extremely proud. When accident tolls continue to mount at an average of 6 a month we aren't succeeding in what we set out to do, namely reduce the traf- fife fatality list.
 The fault can lie in only one place the motorist. There is too much careless driving along our highways. And If one driver gets away with it today, he neces- sarily won't tomorrow. The second time it may be his misfortune to pay the su- preme penalty. Common sense should tell everyone of us that more and more care must be exercised in the operation of motor vehicles along our streets and highways. There are more cars than ever right now and will be so long as industrial centers continue their mad pace to SUD- ply the war machines.
 The careful driver no longer is sure to find happiness at the end of a days travel. He is penalized by the careless, the recklessness of others who often escape scot-free, leaving the roadside strewn with debris and the bodies of those who tried to pursue an even course, but were forced aside by wildly-creening jugger.- naut. There are lots of lessons we should practice during 1942 to keep our streets and highways free of accidents. With tragic news on every page of our news papers, motorists as whole really ought to buckle down to the serious task of end ing needless highway deaths,
