After trailing for the first quar-
ter Bethesda Chevy Chase, the host
team, turned on its fast-breaking
attack to 90 in front at the half and
remain there until the end. Coolidge
worked to a 6-3 edge in the first
period, but the Barons started to
drive and won a 9-6 edge to start
the second period before Coolidge
could score again. Bethesda was in
front, l2-11. at the half. Bethesda
piled up a good lead in the third
quarter, 22-15, but it was none too

though the Generals had small leads
momentarily during the first and
third quarters. G. w. posted a 17-l3

factor really was the scoring spree
it turned on in the last period, which
left Washington-Lee trailing by an

More About Congress

The present low estate of Congress is not exclusively the fault of Congress We, the. people, share heavily in the responsl- bility. We are to blame because we pay too little attention to the men we elect; because many of us do not go to the polls regularly or, while there, don't trouble to vote for legislators; because we let pro- fessional politicians pick the candidates and then we vote the straight party llne
 All that is old stuff - true, sad, serious, worth recalling, but still old stuff. We are at fault more immediately because whenever there is a strong President, with a program that appeals to our lm- agination or to our Self-lntereSt, we de- mand that Congress rubber-stamp that program, and reprimand and even deteat congressman who venture to dissent
 Then, when we have thoroughly fright ened congressman so that most Of them dare not call their souls their own - so that they sit back and wait for the word of command to come from the White House - we turn around and blame Con- gress for it's failure to have and to use mind of it's own. As a nation, because we liked Franklin RooSevelt'S ideas, we demanded and created a servile, rubber stamp Congress.
 More often than not, in matters affect ing legislation, the President is right and Congress is wrong But that is not uni versally true. What we need is not rub ber-stamp Congress for the President, for the farm interests, for organized labor, for any other individual or group. We need Congress with machinery to keep it fully abreast of the President
 The President is ahead of Congress, ana the major Hobbies are ahead of Congres, because they maintain highly competent research staffs which look forward to what is coming and are ready for it. Until Congress provides itself with similar ta- ciIities, of at least equivalent caliber, the best intentioned members can do nothing but guess the answers to difficult queS- tionS.
 Guessing, and knowing that they are guessing, they will find it hard to screw up the courage necessary to say firm NO to special interest Hobbies, purporting to control votes. We could have generally good legislation from the same men now in Congress if they would set up machin- cry for informing themselves accurately and without bias on the problems they have to solve.

passed middle life. But it is also true that one of the most import ant things in the world is experience, and this men can have only by liv- ing through many years.
 If Henry Ford were working for someone else, the veteran industrial ist would probably have been put on the retirement roll long ago. Yet in recent years he has supervised the building of some of the most extensive and important industries ever originated in this country.
 On his sixty-fifth birthday, Henry Ford said: '"Take all the experience and judgment of men over fifty out of the wrold and there would not be enough left to run it." When ask cd if there was not an age limit somewhere, he replied that he had not yet found it. There is no reason why men of siXty-flve should not do as much work with the mind as anyone else. Youngsters have their place and are necessary, but expert ence and judgment of men over fifty are what gives purpose and mean ing to younger mems efforts. I ex- pect to do more in the next five years than l have done in the last twenty"
 And he has made good his prophecy.

Another year is going to find tremend- ous change made in the ranks of Connec- ticut labor We don't refer to any start ling upsets in organized labor. We re- fer to the fact that more and more men are going to be taken into military serV- ice regardless of their occupational defer ments. And in their places in the shops there1l be women, white-collar workers, and men whose physical condition is such as to prevent military service but not la- Dor in war industries. That state ot a1- fairs is already at hand. Married women who are able to work, but who have been refraining so that their husbands might consider them a dependent are going to have to shoulder mems burdens. Into the fields of occupations not regarded, as too necessary to the war effort will go the factory, too, to secure help. Despite the fact that a few days ago it was claimed that no further war contracts could De sent into Connecticut because Of laDor and housing shortage our production level is going to have to mount even hlgh- CT. We doubt if 1943 will ever be sur passed in industrial activity in the Unlt- ed States.

Waterbury,s Candidate.

The major political parties in Water bury have nominated very fine candl- dates. When 1t comes time to vote on Tuesday there is no excuse for anyone saying that he couldn't support the men or women whose names are on the ballot. Naturally we hope that the candidates of- fered by the Democratic Party, those from our own city, as well as those on the state ticket, will receive the great majority of votes. In the case of the incumbentS we think they deserve endorsement; in the case of the new faces we believe, also, they merit support.
 Locally we have splendid judge of probate in the person of Patrick Healey whose conduct of this court in the past four years has constituted record for considerate and humane administration. WaterburyS probate court has always been well administered; we believe it no exaggeration to state that Judge Healey takes rank among the foremost in kindly, thoughtful, just treatment of the prob lems presented to him. And in like man. ner should we speak of Senator Michael " Blansfield, progressive and far-sight- ed legislator, if ever this city had one.
 In the 18th senatorial district the we'll known and well-liked John F. Tobin, a for mer Democratic representative, seeks the honor of representing it. A doughty campaigner MT. Tobin brings to the Dem- ocratic side his considerable ability and knowledge, for which we think he will be rewarded. Democratic Representatives Daniel J. Mahaney and John A. Menbri- no are tried in the ways of the Legislature. They, too, deserve to be returned to of- flee.
 AS proof of the calibre of these candi- dates the Republicans have concentrated all their efforts on matching them with opponents known and respected. It is high testimony to the vote-getting abil- ity of the Democrats, whose retention and election The Democrat urges of you on Tuesday.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-10-31
Simplifcation Needed

It should be more than apparent after this current election campaign is over that the election laws need to be studied some more. Take the case of the absentee ballot, for an example. As yet we don't know what the figures are for the number of absentee ballots to be cast next Tues day as the deadline for filing them doesn't come until midnight. But even now any election official would tell you that the total absentee ballot will be small as com- pared to the number of those eligible.
 A year ago the Democratic Party of Waterbury made strenuous efforts to pro- vide every soldier with an easy means ot casting an absentee ballot. Yet the re- suit was certainly not commensurate with the effort put into it. Yes, it was worth it, for the simple fact that it's al- ways worth while making it possible for our men in the service to continue exer- cising their right to the franchise even though they may be many miles from home. But in cold figures the results showed a surprising lack of interest among those entitled to vote.
 We don't think it's case of our men in the service not wanting to vote. On the contrary. We think that the mechanics of the vote is at fault. And certainly this fall with absentee ballots and soldier bal lots and rulings one way and the other the situation has been further confused. Some effort to simplify the entire set-up should be forthcoming at the legislative session next year. We certainly hope shere will be attention paid to the mat eSr.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-10-31

There has been some criticism through out the city this week because many piles of scrap have remained untouched. II the critics will only be patient their et- forts will be rewarded. AS everyone knows the scrap collected in Waterbury far e; ex+ ceeded expectations. No one ever thought we'd have so much. It has to be handled properly and again it's a question oi !9I time.
