 There may be meatless days this winter-but then again there may not be The opinion in Wash ington is that 1t all depends on whether Secretary of Agriculture Wickard agrees to set Q maximum price on live stock Office of Price Administration is willing to take on the tremendous job of policing such a venture but must have the consent of Agriculture be- fore price ceilings can be set .. As matters now stand, the rising cost of livestock makes 1t losing proposition for the small packers who must buy animals at high prices and sell meat under price ceilings.

XIIs ideas of basis for negotiated peace and post-war world planning It was said that the encylical, which will be sent to all bishops all over the world, also will contain certain provisions seeking to maintain the present Catholic authoritarian re- gimes in Italy, Spain, Portugal and France.
 Although there has been no an- nouncement about the document by the Vatican or by nuncios in var ious capitals, all diplomats were reported to be aware that 1t is in preparation"
 The Converted Catholic magazine comments: Further reports from Vichy giving fuller details were completely censored. Even the above account was censored by the Hearst and other pro-fascist papers in this country. AS we go to press. it is not possible to predict how open or strong this coming encyclical will be. This will depend on the suc- cess of secret negotiations between the Vatican and Fascist interests in this country and England"

You, being a member of families who have. young boys, I was quite surprised that you allowed such an article to appear on your page." have heard of the saying that "a man hides behind woman's skirts, but had never heard of a grown man hiding behind young innocent little boy. I have tried to think over the names of the mem bers of your staff to see if could by any means locate the one who Is the originator of the idea and can. not believe that have located him. Being the mother of one of these "boys facing the tragedy of war and death before they have yet had time to live" I resent this article very much and again I repeat that I cannot see you, as editor of the pa per, allowing such an article to be printed on your page" Why not let the writer, whom I presume is a married man, dreading to be call led, and who more than likely duck ed the last war, answer the call and let the youngsters get a taste of life. which he apparently holds very dear?

LANDLORD NOW MUST PAY
 HOMAGE TO HIS TENANTS

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The era of tenant supremacy has arrived with a bang and the sub jugated little landlord now looks at .sc1.s property with fearful eyes, and memories, as he finds his ownership dwindling into the laps of the now powerful tenants who pay a few paltry dollars for the rights the landlord once paid thousands to acquire What does the landlord have? He has property deed, tax bills, water bills, electric bills, ash removal bills, but the big item is suppression and actual domination at the hands of the rent-payer.
 The man of the house no longer can expect his tenant to turn down the radio at 2 a. m, or to clear the papers from the paper-burner, or to put the lid on the garbage can, or to remember to put out the hall light when he retireS, or to turn off the water faucet when he gets through using it, or to close the porch windows when 1t rains, or to keep his children out of the flower beds. Before the rent law took ef- feet admonitions were seldom neces- sary, for the rent payer had some appreciation for the value of prop erty.
 But since the new rent law has given the tenant a long-term lease with reduced-rent clause friend ly plea of cooperation from the landlord results in two things: tenants look that plainly says: You'd think YOU were the boss" and-inaction. If the new develop ments follow through to their ulti- mate goal it won't be long before the tenants will begin to give orders.
 It is an accepted fact that every one loses in wartime and the land lords, who always lose anyway, are taking their financial fate like everyone else, but can't something be done to keep tenants from be- coming war profiteers as far as be- haVior is concerned2

The Scovill Mfg. CO of this city is hailed as "The Company War Can't Lick" i'll an article by Pete Martin in this weeks issue of the Saturday Evening Post. The~com- pany's achievements in times of war and piece are praised and its New England virtues are lauded.
 MT. Martin says it is hard to be- lieve that Nazi agents ever visited the Naugatuck valley before report ing to Hitler that American indus try could not be geared quickly enough for war.
 Seeing a prospective shortage of metal in 194O, the article says, the Scovill management decided on wood as the substitute for metal in making cosmetic containers and, after months of effort, perfected a type of case that can be operated on like metal.

Anniversary Of
Big Fire Today

The great Waterbury fire which
occurred on Feb. 2, 1902, and
threatened to ravage the entire
city was recalled by some old vet
Grams and particularly by Fire
Chief Thomas +. Cavanaugh, who
was on the call force at that time.
1t was 40 years ago today that
tho great fire swept through the
business section with flames Wis
ibIe for m..ny miles, and sparks
and embers carried many miles by
strong winds, hampcring efforts to
stem the blaze from spreading to
the residential sections in the
downtown areas.
OF active members who were on
the force at that time. Captain
Joseph II. Bagley, retired in 1898,
is the sole survivor. The late Chief
Thomas J. Lynch also was on the
force then.
Sympathy was aroused through
out the nation and many COM
munities came to the aid of the
city. The fire ragged for almost
four days and when finally
brought under control, a swath Of
waste was left in its wake.
Many cities in the state sent
apparatus to Waterbury.
