Savings Bonds and Savings

The thought behind defense bonds was
broader than merely to provide money
for conducting the war. 1t was also that
by channeling some of peoples excess in
come away from the consumer markets
and into savings to be spent not now but
later, competition for reduced stocks OF
goods would be lessened, and tendency
toward initiation minimized. Now it de-
velops that many of the bonds are being
bought with money already saved in bank
accounts or with other forms OF savings.
OF course that means mere transfer
from one form of savings to another, and
defeats part of the purpose OF the plan.
One who buys war bonds out of savings,
and goes on spending all of an augmented
income on consumer goods is not really
contributing as much to the national vel
fare as one who leaves his former savings
where they we're, and buys bonds out OF
new savings brought about by spending
less Of his weekly or monthly income.
Make your war savings part of your reg
ular budget and shape the budget ac-
cOrdingly.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1942-01-23
Citifcation

The process of citifying the country is
still going on at a great rate, and there
is no reason TO expect that the war will
retard it. According to the 1910 census,
nearly half the people of the whole coun-
try now live in 40 of the great metropol-
itan districts--more than AZ per cent of
them, to be exact.
Note that this refers to metropolitan
districts, not cities themselves, for actual
great cities are growing more slowly than
their surrounding territories Outlying
districts grew by 16 per cent during the
past 10 years while the cities themselves
were growing only by per cent. The war,
with its emphasis on industralization
will probably accentuate this tendency. In
Ill our plans for the future, we must keep
In mind this trend and try to guide the
national life with urban conditions more
and more strongly in mind.

Oh, How | Hate to Get Up

The mornings may be brighter when
you gulp down cup of coffee these days,
but not for long. There's going to be a
trend the other way again early in Feb
ruary. Daylight saving will become effec-
tive on Monday, February 9, and that
means the clocks must be pushed ahead
an hour So if it's bit lighter now
around or 7 O'Clock it won't be when the
time changes.
All of which will cause some grum-
bling, but as the winter season Wanes and
spring starts to push her way into New
England there'll be fewer and fewer com
plants, for what we lose in the early
morning hours, we'll make up in longer
late afternoon and evening ones. There
should be lot OF outdoor work from Feb
ruary 9 on for those fortunate enough
not to be working at this time of the day.
And war gardens ought to spring up on
every side, what with daylight saving
time making possible evening work out
doors.
However, that's not the real purpose of
the change. It's to conserve electric pow
err We want our factories TO be able to get
along without recourse to artificial light
SO that more electric energy may be used
to turn great wheels and to keep machin-
cry moving If we conceived OF daylight
saving time as patriotic move, then
perhaps those who don't like it will soften
their criticism.

There's an interesting battle going on
in New York and 1t will come to head
in court there on February II when the
National Horse Show Association crosses
swords with the American Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals over
the question of setting" horses tails.
According to the complaints and counter
claims there we're horses exhibited with
"set" tails at last falls show in Madison
Square Garden and they were shown with
the permission of the A. S. p. c. A. All of
which we leave for the courts TO thresh
out as the case is presented before it.
We presume that so long as horses are
exhibited there will always be fight over
the merits of setting" a horses tail,
which in the eyes of the average layman
is a barbarous custom, but which in the
eyes of your horseman of long standing is
merely case of making the animal look
handsome. 1t remains question If hand
some is as handsome does in this instance.
But horses tails have been "docked" and
"set" SO long as the animals have been
exhibited and it's hard to rid the profess
sion of such an old custom.
Even legislative efforts have only sue
ceeded in curling the practice slightly,
because the setting practice continues
and horses with "set" tails are still ex-
hibited, even in New York which was one
of the first states TO try to end the Gus
tom. Some day. of course, public opinion
will be aroused to the point where it will
side with the humane societies In seek
ing to eliminate all tampering with an
imals that are to be exhibited. But until
then the subject will remain foreign to
all save those who are intimately con-
cerned.
