r Bouquet No. belongs TO- the
city'S most unpublicized high off,
cial, Controller Tom Conlon. 1t is
not meant as any disparagement
to lin to point out that he was a
last minute choice for the noini-
nation back in 1899 for his record
of the past two years shows that
he vas a wise choice. The citys
fiscal position has never been So
strong, its credit was never higher
Averse to the limelight, Tom has
pone job that entities him to
the thanks of every taxpayer.
Ranking No. 3 OH our list is
Tax Collector Humbert Mangini,
who last year supervised a tax
collection that was by far the
greatest In the city's history.
Humbert, like our controller,
feels that his duty is to do his
Job as well as he can without fuss
or feathers. The record of his
Office shows how well he's been
doing.
Our city surplus for 1912, by the
way, should be even better than
the $500, 000- odd that Brother Con-
Son announced few days ago had
been racked up in 1941. 1t. was
just about a year ago that this
column ventured a guess that the
l94l surplus would be the greatest
an history, that it would perhaps
approximate 100000 or $500 600.
We were off a bit, but Controller
Conlon, at the time that we men
toned, was very properly Mortified
and told us In no uncertain terms
that we'd better stick to guessing
election results. We can only re-
mind you that Tom has always
been very conservative.
Another bouquet belongs to
Gov. Bob Hurley, the most hard
hitting, direct chief executive
that Connecticut has ever been
fortunate to have. He doesn't try
to avoid problems or, in a gem
teel way accepted in politics. to
sidestep them. He takes them as
they come. He showed his cour-
age once again this week when
ne trOtted right out for public
inspection the highway depart
ment mess that has been brewing
for several years.
Flowers also should go TO Al
herman Jim Abercrombie, the only
present member of the board of al
dermen who has courage enough
TO vote as he thinks other thar
as his party thinks. He, along witt,
Alderman Art Dubois, who is now
retired from politics largely be-
cause OF it, has been the only al
der1nan Excepting Mr.. Dubois
voting his own way. During the
past rs months Alderman Aber.
crombie has to our recollection
oeen the only board member will.
ing TO forget party lines and vote
only, on the merits of questions
HE is credit to the board.
The last of the bouquets that
space allows belongs certainly to
J0hn Monagan, the defeated
Democratic candidate for Con
gress In the special election last
month. Not only did he take his
licking like a gentleman but he
immediately ruled himself out
Tor any such political plum as
tho post Of special assistant in
the corporation counsers office.
Reading back over this We find
that We must be getting very
mellow. O well!
Next week, East Lynne.

Another reason for tribute to the
mayor is his early and open es-
pouSal of the cause Of the nations
fighting the Axis. Long before 1t
was plain that America was forced
into the war Mayor Scully was
warning our people against totali-
arism and its threat to our way of
life. One instance we recall very
wildly. It was in Torrington in
the fall of 1910, at the congress
Sional convention which nomi-
mated j. Joseph Smith for his
fourth term. The mayor, as the
principal speaker, could have spok-
en- the usual platitudes and no one
would have criticized. Instead, he
was courageous enough to come
out fatty for aid to Britain, this
at a time when isolationists were
doing their best to use the Irish
Unborn loyalty to the mother island
for their benefit. That afternoon
Mayor Scully gave one of the most
lucid and penetrating analyses of
why we should stand side by side
with the Allies that we have ever
heard.

Bouquet No. 1 deservedly goes
to Mayor Vincent A. Scully. Wa
terburians are beginning to real
ize more than ever that he has
given the city the most business
like administration in its history.
We have disagreed with His
Honor often and loudly; we I'M
doubtedly shall again 1--WE do
right now on the all night park
ing question: but We are con-
WINGED that his term in Office
has given . break to the tax
payers. One doesn't need a long
memory to recall when Water
bury was the highest-taxed city
in the state, while a look at cur
rent tax figures will show Water
bury with a rate of BOTS mills,
while Hartford's for instance,
has climbed to 30 mills.

Workers
Must Have
Better Food
BY IDA JEAN KAHN

ERNEST BEVAN, England's
minister Of labor, has made the
statement that II the workers
could have better nutrition
particularly more meat-their
production would be speeded up
IS per cent.
Nutrition has come TO the at
tention of the English govern
ment because it is a problem TO
get food. The attention of this
country has not yet been focused
on food as a power in produc-
ton.
Even though food is plentiful.
there is a great lack Of proper
facilities for feeding our factory
workers.
Power Of Food
It Is alarming TO find that in
some Of the n eWeSt defense
plants there are no cafeterias.
In some instances, the only
nearby places selling food are
hamburger and the soft drink
stands. Our defense workers
cannot keep going in high gear
on such fare.
Since this is a war OF pro-
duction. the man behind the ma
chine is indispensable.
Employers have come TO rec
ognize the value of accident in
surance. proper lighting. and
comfortable working conditions.
IF they have Jagged on nutri-
ton, it is no doubt because the
country as a whole has been
slow 10 appreciate its power
We have always been inclined
10 put food last.
Responsibility
II our production is TO reach
and maintain top capacity. our
factory workers must be able TO
get the food [ h [ makes for
health and efficiency
The major part Of this respon-
Sibility rests on the homemaker
who prepares two-thirds OF the
meals. But that other one-third
either adds to or Subtracts from
the workers efficiency and it is
not TO be discounted.
Some Of the more far-sighted
employers have established good,
low-cost cafeterias with nutri-
tionists in charge 10 plan ball
anced meals and 10 supervise
their preparation.
The cooking Of food is Just
as important as the planning.
Unless it is properly cooked. the
essential vitamins and minerals
are lost.
