The Emergency Arises

Much such an emergency as Acting
 State Fuel Administrator Wesley A.
 SturgcS viSioned occurred yesterday when the greater part of Western Connecticut
 was cut off from the rest of the state by all forms of communications. MT. Stur- ges was announcing at the same time that he had secured the cooperation of the Highway Department to assure fuel deliveries to any community. A section of the Highway Department personnel will always be on call in the event that a fuel emergency arises somewhere and it's necessary to get help there immedi- ately.
 Certainly that must have been the case in great many places when ice disrupted all means of communication, as well as cutting off sources of light, heat, and even water in many communi- ties Wednesday. While it isn't strictly the situation that Administrator Sturges visioned, nevertheless. it was one de- manding the immediate aid of some such emergency relief An emergency con- sumner in the eyes of the Fuel Admins tration would be one with only 5-dayS supply left. If local dealers couldn't cope with the situation, then the proper town officials would be authorized to appeal for state aid.
 There are going to be very many ir- stances this winter, no doubt, where all Available public facilities will be taxed ' cope with situations produced by the weather or the abnormal war conditions ,r by q combination Of both. The sooner

Speed-Up Appreciated

Anyone familiar at all with the work ings of the Connecticut General Assem- ply will welcome the announcements that leaders and new officials of the state government are working for speed-up plan, It has been proposed or suggested that the customary pause between iI- auguration and the legislative opening usually week - be omitted. It has also been said that the legislative week will be four days = Tuesday through Fri day - with a possibility of 5-day week, if necessary.
 Such proposals are engendered by the war conditions AS matter of fact the Legislature might well be governed by them at all times, because 1t is notori- ously slow in getting under way and Is perfectly willing to drag its session to the bitter end -- the last day possible under the law. A speeded-up session will not affect the nature of the laws enacted one bit. On the contrary 1t will produce defi- mite action and more interest among the members.
 The next session of our Legislature will be an important one and 1t Is cer- tainly imperative that all members COG operate to facilitate passage of needed legislation, at the same time emitting for 1943 all the numerous controversies that customarily arise when patronage becomes the burning question of the hour. Patronage may well be pigeon holed this coming year. Of course with Republicans in full control of both houses there is no doubt about passage of legis- lation. It, therefore, becomes the duty of the COP leaders to work at all times not for the interests of party, but state.

This same informant commented in laudable terms about this citys paid Fire Department, pointing out that where he lives - city of about 100000 - there is still volunteer Fire Department: And anyone familiar with municipal history in the United States could cite other similar incongruities revealing how ad- vanced we are here in Waterbury ana how fortunate we are without reallnzlng it most of the time. It's only by few such comparisons that our good pointS come to the surface.

Bert Andrews writing in the New York Herald Tribune last Sunday put his finger on weakness of the New Deal, one that is spreading instead of being abated. He pointed out how the administration at Washington is piling it on the common ordinary people who constitute this great nation of ours. And by .piling 1t on he meant the growing habit of question naires for this, that, and the other thing. The habit is deeply imbedded in New Deal governmental philosophy. It is certainly growing rather than receding. And the dislike of the common man for all this bureaucratic red-tape, demand ing so many questions to be answered by him every time he turns around is factor that must be reckoned within the days to some. Sometimes questionnaires are fun. And lot of people like to spend a lot of time answering them. But all the people don't like to be pestered with them all the time. And take it any way the future is more or less bound round with an orgy of question-and-answe prob- lems for each and every one of us.

 The officer obligingly secured the town, first found an apart mcnt in the Marlyn only to learn that the Davis cat woulc not be admitted. Somefvell kept abreast of developments, and at one point the idea was cofsid- cred Of condemning an apart ment and taking it over,
 Finally the officer found a

 Pleased with this success, Sonf- ervell promptly gave his officer another little housing assignment. The British government had sent to Washington their rooted Gen. Sir Walter Venning, to serve as Director General of the British Ministry of Supply Mission, But Sir Walter and his Lady were having housing troubles,
 They had secured a small apart ment in the S11oreham, but want cd something larger. Gen. Sorr~ ervell, as Chief Of U. S. Services Of Supply. knew Sir Walter, and promised to fix everything.
 Promptly, he sent his Real Estate officer to the ShoretIan. where it was learned that a larger apartment was about to be va- cated. But there were complf- cations. Two admiraIs of the U. S, Navy had heard the same

Press Comment
MALONEY's INQUIRY
tNew Britain Herald

(New Britain Herald
 U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney aims to get at the bottom of the fuel oil situation, 1t seems, by fur thering a plan to have Congress investigate the confusion surround ing the rationing of heat in the eastern states.
 Our congressman surely has an idea there. To investigate confusion is tantamount to probing the con- fasteners, fixing blame. giving them all an unpleasant ride of unfavoE- abel publicity.
 As a Democrat, Senator Maloney rightfuIly Is by no means inclined tO think that the New Deals bureau crats are so calm and collected in the midst of their troubles as never to err. MT. Maloney. you see, in tends to run again some time and feels that his chances are being un- duly menaced.

Observers who should know claim that Waterbury is dimmed out more than good many other cities which have been placed in such island areas" by the First Army Command. This ought to be sweet salve to our local officials who have been somewhat dismayed the past couple of weeks over the fact that certain per centage of business houses have as yet paid little or no heed to the official regu- iations. Street illumination is dinner; stores are more generally darkened, re- marked one holiday visitor who halls from a Westchester County city that is likewise dimmed out, but certainly, to hear him describe it, nowhere near as effectively as Waterbury.

A Thought for Today
Another Year

The year now beginning should be a Happy New Year. 1t will bring grief to many, hardShips to more, irritations to all. But unless all signs fail it will lead the peace-loving peoples of the world within sight of an end of the inferno into which a few sadiStic egomaniacs have plunged us. During this year we shall have to sacrifice everything from money to lives on a scale never before conceived. We shall not, however, make those Sacri- fees as we did the lesser ones of 1942- wondering in spite of ourselves whether they might just possibly prove to be ln vain.
 We can visualize in a general way the road that leads back to peace. Our enemies are on the defensive, They can stand us off for long time perhaps, but no war ever was won by a defensive that was more than temporary, and the almost infiniteSimal advantage that we now possess is certain to grow, so that on the grand scale we shall retain the offensive from now on Our industry has struck its stride We aren't yet satisfied, We must never be satisfied until we have won. Yet both in quantity and in quality We so far surpaSs our enemies that they have no chance.
  copying of others weapons and tactics, We are proving the superiority of Amer ican technical methods by evolving our own weapons, which are proving as devastating to the Germans as their blitzkrieg weapons once did to the de- mocracies of Europe. The Japs are rela- lively safe, for a short time, The war is vet far from their home shores. That, also, is temporary. Before the year-end Nippon also will feel the weight of our wrath.
 Said Undersecretary of War Patterson recently: This much can be said with assurance. The year 1943 will be a fight ing year for American troops. We will be fighting In Europe, Asia and Africa and on the seven seas. We will seek out the enemy wherever we can find him not on one front or on two fronts, but on any front where Nazis and Japanese can be engaged in combat"
 That is the vital and encouraging diff ference between 1943 and the year now past. Tn 1943 we shall seek out our enemies, wherever they are, and strike them with mighty concentrations of deadly weapons, instead of sitting back as we were forced to do so much during 1922 and wondering whether or where the enemy would strike us before we could become strong enough to stop him.
 "The year 1943 will be tough year." said MT. Patterson. "It will likely be year of heavy casualties It takes loss of life and loss of blood to attack, to press the war home to the enemy, to win momentouS battles"
 Indeed it does But it is far easier to face death, for ones self or his loved ones when death is contributing directly to progress than when as on Bataan, in the East Indies and elsewhere during 1922 - the utmost possible was to slow down victorious enemys advance. Yes, with all it's sorrows and it's heartbreakS 1943 should be Happy New Year for everybody who believes in human free. dom, year that should get happier and happier as it goes on.

STARS (Aice T. Hill in the New Haven Journal-Courierl There's little white house that I'm thinking about house that used to pass by, neat little house with fence all about And garden of roses close by. When war days were here from the door hung a flag A red flag with service stars two: And after the war as happened to pass The little white house on my way looked for the flag as 1t waved OCT the grass Just wondering what 1t would say The red flag was fiuttering valiantly still, Although 1t was faded and old,- But of the stars that flew on the hill Two were blue and one was of gold
