GANDoR compels the sdmis-
- sion that being hard put for
pertinent subject along with
some wishful thinking inspired
reference in this column Tues
day 10 the probable comeback
of the village blacksmith and
the horse. Several friends made
scornful as well as intended-to-
be humorous remarks about
horse sense. To talk about the
horse ever coming back to this
mechanical world was nothing
short OF just plain screwy.
But be that as II may. in the
mail today there came the copy
of an address given by Maj. Gen.
John II. Herr. chief Of cavalry,
United States army. before the
recent annual meeting of the
Horse and Mule Association of
America. Inc, that turns the
tables the other way.
Gen. Herr, incidentally, is
sticking his neck out very much
as did Gen. Billy" Mitchell
when he criticized the high COM
mand for failure to realize the
place the airplane was taking in
modern warfare. Gen. Mitchell
was court martialed and his
rank taken away while we went
biindly on our military way.
The mistake was not discovered
until after Gen. Mitchell died
and an attempt was made TO
clear his name by restoring his
rank on the records.
Gen. Herr is saying the same
things about cavalry that Gen.
Mitchell said about airplanes.
Whether or not he is called
on the carpet. Gen. Herr gives
a very vivid picture of what the
horse can do in modern warfare.
A little imagination and the ex-
ploits of the United States cav
airy in the Mexican and civil
wars and in the efforts to herd
the Indians on the reservations
can be made TO fit into he pic
ture that is developing in 1912.
Using the Russian. German
and japanese armies for COM
parison. Gen. Herr gives these
horse figures:
For cavalry use, the Russian
army has 100000 horses; Jap
anese, $4,000; German. $4,000,
and the American army, $4,000.
For draft and pack service,
the Russisn army has SOC. 900;
Japanese, $4,000; German, 91O,-
900. and the United States army,
1000.
Nnether We ike IL or not,
facts compel the admission that
Germany has developed the most
efficient army in the world. In
the marching divisions, says
Gen. Herr, the artillery and
practically all the other vehicles
are drawn by horses. We have
no horses in the marching divi-
sions.
The German argument for
this. said Gen. Herr. is that ami
mails can draw equipment and
vehicles as fast az men can
walk, so why use motors with

Paid PaU Bearers Must
 Observe OPAR Regulations
Optomestrists, Undertakers, Stenosraphers "Un. der Control" - Bankers, Barbers Not
 Officially Regulated

CTS services, testing milk for but- ter fat, carloading and unloading, garage service, radio and appliance repair, and tire eapping are among the many operations whose prices are kept under March ceilings by the opA.
 We not only control the price Of these services, we also see to 1t that the conditions of service, as they existed last March, RlSo are mAin- tained today an Information Di. vision spokesman said,
 To Illustrate what he meant, he said laundrieS, for instance required to continue low. price eash-and-ear- " services, If they were existent last March, as well as maintain as "ceil. ings" the prices charged last March,
 Another thing, If laundry fur- nished free repair service at that item, 1t must do SO today, according to the provisions Of the Price Con- trol Act" the OPA official explained If this repair service is diseontin. used the laundry must refigure It's HAANV " uluhHlA iNuuttiuH HUH Its maximum price based upon the value Of that repair service"
 Although the majority of services are covered by the price control law, some afen t-and tho Information Division of the State OPA believes they bear mention,
 BarberS aren't regulated. Nor is there any regulation limiting the rental 6 circulating library can got for a book,
 Banks may charge what they please--or what the statutes allow them to charge - for checking ace counts, though their safety deposit box rentals are fixed; and package and letter delivery services are ex. eepted by the regulations,
 Other services which have no ceiling include moving lawns, elip- ping hedges, or performing tho du- ties of e watehman.

The Waterbury Lodge of Elks has declared Q truce in their all-out war effort for the morning of Decem- Der 24th to remember their little pals of depression days.
 For severGl years when prosper ous times were "just around the corner" the Elks looked to the school kiddies of Waterbury for Q helping hand to gladden. the hearts of many of the citys needy families and in the general distribution of Christ mas cheer. Factories are booming today and everybody who wants to work is busily engaged. There are fewer families on relief. Waterbury's needy represents but fraction of normal times, so the Elks will not find 1t necessary this year to sup- plement the efforts of other chari- table organizations in the distribu- tion of baskets of food. But-their annual Christmas show will 90 on as usual and the kiddies of Waterbury, that Is the real young ones, will be the guests of the Elks of Eoew- Polls theater next Thursday morn. lng at 1000 o'clock.
 So that the youngsters may for get headlines on war and rationtng, incomes taxes and mo skating" the management has arranged Q special show with plenty of laughs and plenty to tell the folks at home about. Mickey Mouse" Donald Duck'' and all tho favorites will be there, Incidentally "Ed" Fitzpatrick, local representative of the Loew.

The breach between local and state Democratic organizations, which had appeared near the heal. ing point several times during the past two years, is wider than ever todRy as . result Of the appoint- mont yesterday by Gov. Robert A. Hurley Of John r. Robinson, former Waterburian and now of Cheshire, as state director of Selectlve Serv. ice, The local organization inter- prets the appointment as a direct slap, because its lack of enthusiasm for the governors executive secre- tary is well-known about the state
 Ordinarily, such political differ ences as led Waterbury'S four mem. hers of the state central committee to vote against Gov. Hurley for na. tional committeeman at the recent state committee meeting might easily be settled within the two years before the next state conven. ton, In this case, though, the feel ings of local leaders are SO ruifled over the Robinson appointment that " io uiAAiSSt " NNAbNaiiNg bAub NASN will oppose tho renominatlon of Gov. Hurley in l944.
 The No patronage for Waterbury charged levelled against Gov, Hur- ley over the past biennium is be- ing sounded now louder than ever before, Though Robinson was for years e packer of ex-Gov. Wilbur l., Cross, who has had tho support of the local organization, he X persona non grata with them, The Rnti-Rohinson feeling was intenSi. fed when the former head of the state Young Democrats switched his allegiance suddenly to Mir Hur. ley two years ago, The feeling was increased when he was named ex- eeutive secretary to the governor during the past year.
 The Robinson status is ono that has cut local Democratic leaders to the quick, and the latest develop. ment has caused more hard feel. ingS than ever before.
 Though John M, Dove, the new state chairman, has announced that complete harmony and unity In the party is his goal it is hardly likely that he will Dc able to do much with the local group insofar as backing Of Gov. Hurley is concerned.
 Tho claims are not one-Sided by any means. Friends Of Gov. Hur. ley charged that the organization here had "iaid down" on him in the election two years ago and their

LIVING UP TO TRADITION

In normal times, the banks Of the
country ore interested in finoncinQ and
encouraging all legitimate business and
industrial activity. In war time, the lob
Of the banks necessarily undergoes
considerable change
First, the banks must devote their
resources to war production. Thot is q
Vost, eVer-exPonding task. Second, the
banks must aid the ordinary citizen in
getting out Of debt-not into debt. In
crossing taxes and higher costs of ali
kinds impose q tremendous strain on
the average budget All ovoidobIe civil.
ion spending must be curtoiIed. Loans
which in peace time would be immedi-
oteIy granted, must be refused.
There is no question Of the effici-
ency with which banking is doing its
war job. Officers and employers ore
working overtime. Expansion Of bank
ing service hos taken place with q mini
mum Of delay The fullest possible CO.
operation has been given the govern
ment. And banking is rendering oil pos
SIoIe service to civilians and consumers
industry.
Banking IS doing everything in its
power to keep the economic machine
and the military machine running. 1t
IS living up fully to its splendid post
traditions Of service. .
