One has the feeling that. though
he is speaking what is immedi-
ately on the surface of his mind,
his observations are the distilla-
ton of much deeper thinking.
Suddenly he turned, with a
twinkle in his eye. We've been
eating for a long time" he said,
land we've been farmers for a
long time, but we still have lot
to learn about both. Look at the
way we peel potatoes before we
eat them. Why, it's only the
peeling and the next quarter Of
an inch under it that isn't all
starch. The peeling's the best
part"
CARS TOO ELABORATE
An inquiry about postwar au-
tomobiles found Mr.. Ford less
voluble than on the subject of
agriculture.
with all the cars the govern
ment has frozen and all those
that will still have a great deal
of service left in them when the
war is over, I'd say that if it
came TO a pinch, we could get
along with what we have for
two or three years afterward.
Autos should be cheap and
easy to rum" the creator of the
Model T continued. 1--WE went
too far with automobiles until
they got to looking like Pullman
cars. We might as we'll have
been riding in Pullmans, too
they cost as much. The
basically simple things are best,
whether it's automobiles or diets
or philosophy"
Mr.. Ford's views on war and
peace are likewise simple and
to the point. He thinks that this
war and the last one were caus-
ed by a small group of greedy,
power-hungry international war
mongers. And lasting peace, he
believes, can be supplemented
by today's soldiers of all ma
tons and their fathers who are
veterans of the last war-men
who know what war really is.
The basis Of this peace, he said,
should be a world federation.

ASK CONSUMERS. TO SIGN CARDS
White Market Committee Wants Public to Pledge
 Support

Local residents will be asked Co sign pledges that they will not buy rationed commodities without stamps and will not pay higher than ceiling prices, according to plans made by the local white market committee at Q meeting yesterday afternoon at the ration board head quarters. Attorney John Fl. Cassidy, chairman, said the school depart inent has given permission for dis- tribution of pledge cards at schools and the task will be undertaken next week.
 The pledges will be sought as evi- derce of Q desire to wipe out illicit trading, it was announced. Pupils in the upper grades will be asked to take the cards to their homes and return them with the signature of an adult member of the family.
 The white market committee will undertake extensive publicity work to make consumers aware Of the importance of ceiling prices fixed by the government. The program has been started in an effort to ward of black market activities.
 Pastors of local churches will be asked to participate in the cam paign and pulpit announcements will be planned. Parochial schools as well as public schools will serve as distribution centers for the pledge cards, with Mrs. Edward Nc. Elligott in charge of that division.
 MT. Cassidy has announced the addition of the following represen. tatives of factory publications to the committee: Francis Smith, Sco- will Manufacturing Company: June Dahlin, Ingersoll division of water bury Clock Company; Charles Mo- Carthy, Waterbury Tool Company: Roger Rose, Waterbury Button Company; Arthur N. Johnson, Chase Brass and Copper Company: George Henderson, American Metal Hose branch, American Brass Com pany, and Julius GroSsman, merch- ants division.

Last month we learend to locate the first sign (second constellation of the zodiac, Aries, the Ram. This month we shall study three more zodiacal constellatio1s and one not in the zodiac.
 Capricornus
 Going from west to east, the eleventh zodiacal constellation is Capricornus, the Sea Goat, heart shaped figure laying low on the western horizon at map time. The third-magnitude stars Alpha and Deta Capricorni, situated in the westernmost portion of the constel- lation, are in the Goats head, while Delta, also of the third magnitude, and on a line with Beta, is in his hindauarters. The rest of the stars are 0f the fourth and fifth magni- tudes.
 Five degrees to the east of Delta is the point announced by Lever rier (French astronomer, 18ll- 10TD as the position of his pre- dictea new planet Neptune which Gallo, under Leverrier's direction actually saw at the Berlin Observa- tory on September 3, lS46. It had been suspected by Bouvard French astronomer lTe7- -1e43l in 1891. and seen six times from France and

 A small group of fifth-magnitude and sixth magnitude stars below Beta are in the Goats mouth, Both Alpha and Beta are naked-eye doubles, the two cornponents of AL pha being more easily seen than those of Beta. Then again each of the stars in Alpha is doubled by the telescope. Capricornus is an inter- esting constellation, because before the procession of the equinoxes had shifted the signs of the zodiac vest ward cut of the cancellations with which they were identified, the sun does not touch Capricornus till the middle of January. Capricornus is, after Cancer, the most inconspicu- WB constellation in the zodiac.
 Aquarius
 Auuarius, the Water Bearer, is the twelfth and final constellation of the zodiac, and is just east of CapricornuS. Aquarius is not con- spicuous constellation, since 1t con- tains no stars brighter than the third magnitude. With careful ob- servation. however, one can see the figure of 8 man pouring water from a jar. Alpha Aquarii, the point of conjunction for two lines of stars running from the west and south, is in his right shoulder. The tipped jar is marked by Gamma Aquarii, just southeast of Alpha, Zeta, Eta, and Pi. These particular stars form a striking Y-shaped figure. or a tri- angle. with the relatively bright star Zeta within 1t, by which the constellation is readily recognized. Zeta iB . beautiful telescopic binary, both components being of pale green color. The Water Bearers belt is marked by Theta. and his right leg by Delta, while the stream of stars to the east represents the water pouring from the jug. Delta is an especially interesting star. be- cause 1t indicates the approximate radiant point for meteors which ap- pear late in July, and are called the Delta Euuarids. Uranus was discov- cred in Aquarius in l7si by William Herschel.
 Although of astronomical import ance chiefly from its zodiacal posl- ton. and from It's richness in doubles, clusters. and nebulae. ik is also interesting because of the fact that one ok lts three stars Pei was ocrulted hy tho planet Mars on the first of October.

The Heavens In November Three More ZodiocoI Consultations -
 MoFs as Bright as Sirius.
By JANE DAVIS, stan Editor Amateur AstrOnOmers Association, New York City

more than two centuries ago, these results have enabled modern aStron- omers to ascertain the mean motion of Mars, and to calculate the mass of the earth and our distance from the sun. Aquarius lies between Cap ricornus and Pisces, so that the sun enters 1t on the 14th of Febru- ary and leaves 1t on the 14th of March.
 Pisces, the Fishes, is the first con- stellation of the zodiacal circle, be- cause 1t contains the vernal equinox the point where the sun crosses the equator going northward in the spring. This constellation is found between Aries and Pegasus, and is inconspicuous to the eye, though 1t occupies an enormous territory. Two fishes are shown tied by their tails to the ends of long ribbon, which is fairly well marked by streams of stars. The only one oi these stars which rises to the third magnitude is Alpha, the double star representing the knot near the cen ter of the ribbon.
 The constellation Pisces is of spe- cial interest to us, because three conjunctions of the planets. Jupi. ter, Mars, and Saturn took place
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-10-28

there in the year formerly deter mined as that of the birth of Christ. Tn addition, 1t was in Pisces on the 2nd of September, 1904, that Harding (Germarl astronomer, 1765-l6S4) discovered the minor planet (asteroid) Juno.
 Cetus
 Straight east of Aquarius, lying just below Aries where point the ribbons which tie the Fishes, is Cetuis, the Whale, extending 50 de- grees east and west and nearly as much at its largest part north and south. In its northern portion four bright stars, Alpha, Gamma, Zeta, and Mu, form a trapeziuin, and in it's southern portion four other stars outline the figure of @ kite. The constellation's brightest star, Alpha or Menkar, is in the Whales jaw; Gamma, about six degrees west of it, in his head; and Delta, just south of Gamma, in his throat. A curved row of stars southwest of Menkar indicates the Whales body. and Beta, farther west and south. marks his tail. Much of Cetus is comparatively blank, because of the absence of conspicuous stars. Just below Delta, and in the Whales neck, one finds Omicron Ceti or Mira, the most interesting star in Cetus, because 1t was the first vari- able to be recognized as such. At times this is one of the brightest stars in the sky. attaining 6 magni- tude of i.7, while at other times it is visible only in telescope, getting as faint as 9.6. These varia- tons take place in about year. but the period and range of varia- tions take place in about a year. but the period and range of bright ness is irregular. The south pole of the Milky Way IS located in Cetts.

 Mercury is too close to the sun for favorable observation, passing superior conjunction on the 10th of the month.
 Venus continues to be the bright. est object of the morning sky dur- ing November. It is over % degrees above the southern horizon at sun- rise.

POLITICAL CHIPS
By
EDDIE UDRLOWTTZ

In my nneanderings about the local political scene, the hardest chore to perform that went up against was to sell the idea that there was such Q thing in existence as Q double poe htical machine and that the leaders of both parties connive to have elections decided to suit their own selfish interests.
 I first tried t0 sell the Idea back in 1895 when I exposed the double machine that exlsted between the Guilfolle Administration and the Republican junta that was headed by Ned Goss, and it took about eight yeaFs until the junGa was broken up.
 That was the year of the notor- ious steering committee" that was appointed by Ned doss to recon. mend to the town committee 8 caIl- didate for mayor and after con- siderable amount of hocus pocus, they recommended that William II. Sandland be resurrected and run again.
 The h0cus p0cuS surrounding the whole thing aroused my suspicious and . lltle checking up of different personalities and events convinced mo that there was real double ma chine in existence and that it was perniclous one.
 I will not dwell on what trans plred after that and what brought about the socalled reorganization, as I believe the space can be used to discuss more pertinent matters. After the reorganization, control of the party fell into the hands of William J. Pape. MT. Pape was at that time in the heat of one of his sparadic reform siz1les. He was de- terlnined to get Hayes and Leary out of the city hall.
 After that eventuallty, MT. Pape set up his own jun&a and tried to win an election. They made . dis- mai xaAhuro or the try, ana then 0ee clded that it Is better to be on the inside looking out.
 So we are now back where we started in the political complexion of the city. We are again being run by double machine. The main difference is in the personnel. In the old days 1t was either Guilfoile or Hayes and Leary on the Demo- cratic side and Goss and his junta, which consisted mostly of the city court crowd, on the republican side. Now 1t is J. Francis Smith on the Democratic side and Pape and his junta. of which the leading lights are J. Warren Upson. Registrar Al Taller and the current city court crowd.
