More Water Over the Dam

There will be more water over the dam
after next October if all goes according
to schedule Waterbury's series of res
ervoirs above Thomaston in the Morris
township are gradually becoming size
able WaterWorks Their size is equalled
by their grandeur. Here in our own To-
cality, but on slightly smaller scale, we
have system of reservoirs that can COM
pare with some of the finest in the land.
The one under discussion is the third
in the Morris area and is harnessed at
Pitch Brook, several miles north of the
familiar ones between ThOmaston and
Morris. The new site looks somewhat diff
ferent than it did few years ago before
the engineering started. Speaking as of
year ago much work had been done on
the new site, and we expect that it has
changed considerably in the past year,
as the work has been gradually stepped
up during twelve month period, but at
intervals
Going north towards Morris and Itch
field after you pass our present reservoir
dam you continue for a few miles, then
take a right fork, which road if you con-
tinue will lead to Litchfeld by way of
what is called Chestnut Hill, or there are
branching roads that will lead to Litch-
field at South Plains. This is all scenic
country, unknown by many though less
than fifteen miles from our city. It will
be an event when the third reservoir up
in the Litchfield-Mo area is completed
and the water is turned into Waterbury's
second pipe line. The city's satisfying
water system in quantity and quality will
then have an additional value which will
serve as surplus and more than meet
the demand

GLIDER FREIGHT TRAINS
New York Times)

Some time may still elapse before
the heavens are darkened by sWarms
of aerial freight trains gliding to
distant ports across the seven seas.
Yet the first train from America,
toWed through $500 miles of Allan
tic storms, has just unoladed it's
cargo in England. 1t was only a
one-glider train. 1t carried only a
ton and half of freight. But it
may be the pioneer of future traf-
f1c of which the world today has
hardly dreamed.
Great issues spring from small
beginnings. The massive fighting
fleets that span our present skies to
decide the whole course of history
are the progeny of the Wrights'
tWelve-second flight at Kittyhawk
The Wrights made that first, feeble
test of motored air power with little
experience to guide them. But the
history of gliding goes back to 1871
when Otto Lilienthal began to dem
onstrate the lifting force of the at
nosphere. The Wrights themselves
they used motor. The war has
experimental with gliders before
brought startling glider develop
ments. The Germans, with thei
head start in this field, took Crete
with troop-manned elders. The,
employed glider trains extensively
in Norway and Russia and towec
hundreds of elders In and out Of
i Africa. 'rhA pritisir last Nnven,hA,

are that the soldiers at such and such
camp get nothing but pork, and in others
the best of everything.
So varying are the reports that one
hesitates to give all of them credence,
and few even decide to regard the re-
ports as highly exaggerated. However we
can't help wondering about call that
meat" Where is it? Who's eating it?
AS matter of fact we are eating quite
bit of it ourselves. On the other hand it
is not to be had in the manner of another
day, which is not too hard to believe. Pa
ragraphs from Cattle Bulletins reiterate
that there never before was such a large
population of meat animals in the Unit
ed States We quote from one: "On jan
uary of this year, there were 78, 10000
head of cattle on the ranges and farms
in the United States. In the years imme-
diately preceding the war, our cattle
herds averaged only 67,000,000, and in
the boom year 1929 they aggregated less
than 100000 head"
The bulletin continues with the ex-
PLANTATION that farmers and ranchmen in
following out the suggestions of the De-
partment of Agriculture proceeded to
add to their cattle output for 1912, and
this year of 1943 even more have been
added. The pig crop, too, is appreciably
larger. AS for poultry there were, accord
ing to this report, more than 540,000,000,
chickens on farms as of last January l.
So from these figures it would seem that
the animal population has been pretty
well increased. All this being SO Difficult
ties present themselves, so some of the
cattle raisers think, beyond what should
occur even in such times as these. In
their opinion the present meat shortage
is unnecessary and easily avoidable. And
you say, is it?

NO COUPON, PLEASE
New York SUM

Somebody at Washington - iden-
tity not revealed-has conceived
the idea of linking sales tax to
coupons. Under this plan there
would be a basic exemption from
the sales tax and each consumer
would re ceive coupons to the
amount of the exemption these
coupons to be passed across the
counter in lieu of the tax as long
as they lasted. Since the housewife
now has to juggle coupons from two
ration books and will soon have to
learn to keep track of the coupons
with pictures of tanks and airplanes
on them, the inventor of this idea
ought to put it on the shelf. If a
sales tax becomes necessary or de-
sirable surely it can be put into
effect without more coupons. If the
housewife has a hard time with
coupons, so does the retailer. Sales
tax coupons would have to be seq
regated from the other coupons
They would require new banking
accounts, new red tape, new over
head at Washington, extra con-
sumption of paper. If we are to
have a sales tax, let us have sense
enough to take it straight, without
coupon.

Views Of The Press

sent glider trains of paratroops
from England to Algiers. aLst year
we heard many encouraging reports
of glider development in our own
Army. This year our gliders have
been absent from the news, possibly
because they are being held for the
invasion of Europe.
But the glider will have it's use in
peace as we'll as in war. If one
glider can be toWed successfully
across the ocean technical research
will surely enable trains of several
or more to follow. Locomotive
planes have already toWed three
elders at once in test flights. Plane
carried freight may always be
somewhat limited by its cost. But
gliders, even with the eighty-four-
foot Widespread of the American
built craft that made the historic
trip to England, can be turned out
at no great expense. Considering
the progress of aviation, the posi-
bilities of this new aerial commerce
are taking. After the wings
of war are folded the wings of
peace may still be multiplying by
their tens of thousands on borrowed
power.

Worthy Example

Pomona College, a small co-educational
liberal arts institution in Claremont, CAL,
has started something worth while -
scholarships which will enable returning
service men to resume educations inter-
rupted by the war. AS first installment
$4,000 has been set aside for the pur-
pose.
Presumably in 1945 or 1916, as in 1920,
there will be federal program of reha-
Utilization for the physically handicapped.
But this does not help those who escape
uninjured except in the pocketbook -
bit old to go back to school with the pros
pect of emergency in debt.
Such scholarships as Pomona proposes
would be a godsend to men to whom this
nation owes more than it ever will try to
pay.

staff writer on New York newspaper
writes that Bethel Comm is importing
steers and fattening them for use. The
article states: Bethel is fast becoming
the beef bowl of Fairfield county. The
villagers are happy about the whole thing
according to the story in question and it
will be beef on the hoof for the time be-
ing. 1t is a question if you like home
raised beef, or the heavy steer that comes
from far away. 1t is an idiosyncracy OF
most of us that though we like so-called
native meats we are just as pleased not
TIC know the exact locale of the animal in
question: If it is a question of chicken,
ducks or such, well and good to have
them more or less native, but our beef,
that's something again.

GAS-LESS AUTO RACE
An automobile race was staged
in Brazil recently which should
interest gasless Americans. Thirty
two cars took part and not one
of them used drop of gaso-
line.
Each car was equipped with a
charcoal burning apparatus known
as "gasOgene," producing char
coal gas whose combustion takes
the place of the combustion Of
gasoline in the ordinary automo-
bile engine.
These devices have been so sue
cessful in Brazil that they are
being produced at the rate of 40
a day, selling for about 5000 each.
Some of the units are capable of
generating a thousand horse
power, and are used even on the
inter-city buses between Santos
and Sac Paulo.

Selected Poem
THE WHEEL

(By A. M. Sullivan in the New York SUM
Mans first bargain
With the stubborn fist of Nature
Came sometime after
The death of Adam
And before the breath
Of the first King Sargon.
The sullen creature
Recalling Eden's pleasure
And the price of bread
Paid full measure
To undo what had been said to him
BY the angel of the Lord.
And sometime in the interim
Between the word of anger
And the day of gain
He watched foeman roll
curved stone down the barren knoll
And forgot the danger
AS the light burned in his brain.
He paid the debt to Nature
In days and months OF sweat
To fashion a granite wheel
And make the axle share
The burden of the creel,
And he went on from there
And the wheel is turning yet.

ADENOIDS AND DEAFNESS
IN CHILDREN

One Of my sons aged five, Is be.
coming progressively more deaf
(writes reader). This, according
to the physicians who have exam
ined him, can be attributed to ex-
tremely hypertrophied tonsils and
''adenoids." They unanimously rec
ommend excision of these tissues.
But have found your advice to
be remarkably sound in several
matters pertaining to my family
Continues my friend-draw up a
chair and have cigar, brother).
SO I take seriously your recommen-
dalton that tonsils be electro
coagulated rather than cut out.
I want to ask several questions.
l. Do you recommend coagula-
ton where the patient is but five p.
years old?
I recommend electro coagulation
(diathermy extirpation of tonsils
and /or adenoids as the method of
choice in every instance, regardless
of the patients age.
But it is rarely applicable for
children less than eight or ten years
of age, for the simple reason thai
such young children will not or can
not cooperate with the physician
to the degree necessary for success
with this method.
However, I have seen the FORE
most specialist in this method, the
man who pioneered the method il,
America. extirpating the tonsils Of
a child five years old, and the HttlA
girl cooperated perfectly with the
doctor throughout. But she was an
exceptional child. AS a general
rule, the diathermy method cannot
be used for children under eight or
ten.
2. May "adenoids" be success
fully removed In this way?
Yes, if the physician Is skilled
in the technique. Not every doctor
or near-doctor who has diatherrny
outfit is qualified to give the dia-
thermy treatment. Only the physi-
clan who has had instruction by
master of the method can saisfac-
torily eXtirpate tonsils or adenoids.
In many instances of enlarged
tonsils and adenoids complicated
with some deafness in children the
best treatment is a series of X-ray
treatments.
I have pamphlet on "Adenoids
and Tonsils" which I shall be glad
to send on request if you provide a
three-cent stamped envelope bear
ing your address. 1t deals with en-
larged tonsils and adenoids and
their prevention, treatment, effects.
General hygiene in childhood and
youth has good deal to do with
the subject. Perhaps one reason
why too many operations have been
done for simple enlarged tonsils
and more or less presumptive ade-
noids was that the hygiene of child
hood and youth was neglected by
physicians, parents and teachers.
