What do we waste most? Ac-
cording to research by the SAM
tary Engineering Research Labora-
tory of New York University, %
per cent of the garbage consisted
of green vegetables, q per cent of
other vegetables, % per cent Of
citrus and other fruits, IA per cent
of baked goods, and Z per cent of
meat, bones and fish. These are all
vital sinewes of modern warfare.
FATS INTO MEDICINES
So is the fat too many of us forget
to turn over to the at salvage cam
paign. One tank car of used house
held fats would provide the glyc-
crime needed for a year for all the
pharmaceutical supplies f or a
20O-bed military hospital. Those
sons, brothers, friends and neigh
bors of ours over there fighting
need medical care-quickly and
without stint. Kitchen fats go into
the glycerine used in these sup
plies-tannic acid for treatment of
burns, some insulins for shock and
diabetes, sulfa ointments for abras-
ions and other life and pain-saving
drugs.
So, we'll have to outlaw our haiti
of wasting food. Kindness to gar
bage pals is national sabotage
when Food Fights For freedom.

NO TURKEY FOR
MANY FAMILIES
Dealers Here Report Big
Shortage, Heavy De-
mand; Many Reasons

No Turkey. That was the verdict
yesterday and today by scores OF
housewives who placed their Thanks
giving orders weeks ago and anx-
iously awaited favorable reports.
With present stocks estimated at
approximately 30 to 40 per cent of
normal thousands of local residents
are expected to dine Thursday on
beef, pork, or chicken, retaining
hopes that they will have turkey,
maybe, for Christmas.
st. Mary's and Waterbury hospital
patients are among the persons who
will have the scarce product, 1t was
reported today. Full-course Thanks
giving dinners with all of the fancy
trimmings will be served, hospital
authorities said.
Some local consumers were report
ed to have received orders placed
with individual farmers of the area.
Most of those disappointed were per-
sons who had placed orders with
their regular dealer, hoping he
would come through somehow as in
former years.
The ceiling price controls and
black market channels were blamed
by local grocers for some of the
shortage. 1t was agreed, however,
that military needs had created
most of the drain of turkeys from
civilians. And many local family
will be thankful that at least their
Johnny in the Army or Betty In the
WAC will have turkey.

STATE WITNESSES
WINTRY PREVIEW
More Snow Is Expected;
Serious Incidents Report
ed in Wake of Storm
(By UNITED PRESS


Winter put on a preview IN Con-
necticut and other sections of the
East Monday night, and while this
state escaped with relatively light
snowfall, the storm presented haz-
ards which caused several accidents
and slowed highway travel In all
sections.
The snowfall ranged from few
inches in the southern portions OF
the state to ten inches through
Litchfield County.
The storm abated somewhat early
today but predictions were for con-
tinued light snow.
A Bradley field pilot lost his
bearings in the storm last night
and circled Willimantic airport for
nearly an hour, while State Police
and Connecticut Light & Power Co.,
crews set up emergency landing
lights. Later it was reported the
pilot reached his home base safely.
At New Britain, the snow blinded
the driver Of an automobile as he
approached a railroad crossing. The
car crashed through the gates and
stalled on the tracks as a train bore
down. All five occupants fled the
car before the crash and escaped
uninjured.
At Bolton, two student nurses
were injured in an automobile col
l!sion during the storm. Miss Fran
ces Drost, West Hartford, and Miss
Anna Bohara, %, Norwich, were
taken to Manchester Memorial hos
pital, severely hurt.
Several interstate trailer trucks,
bound for Detroit, were halted at
New Britain until the storm slack
ened.
Highway crews worked through
out the night clearing main travel
arteries and numerous traffic jams
were reported

HIGH MORTALITY
PERIOD ARRIVES
Death Trend in COnnecti-
cut in Ascendancy; Vari-
Gus FactOres Analysed

The months of high mortality in
Connecticut are January, February
and March according to William C.
yelling, director of the Bureau of
Vital Statistics in the State De-
partment Of Healths weekly broad
cast. Then in April the gross NOR
tally starts to decrease, reduction
which continues until October when
an upward cycle begins to manifest
itself. Pneumonia is an ever pres
ent danger at this time of the
year and this continues until
March.
Strange to say drownings are on
the morbidity seasonal list in the
winter as we'll as summer, due to
enthusiastic skaters who fail to
wait until the ice is safe. This
will be repeated in the very late
winter just when spring is begin
ming and the ice becomes danger
Gus again. 1t is interesting to note,
said Mr. yelling, that these acct
dental drownings run largely to
males. For instance in a recent
year of the 70 persons who met
death from this cause, SO were males.
Twenty three of these males, or one
third of the total were under twenty
years of age.
Mr.. yelling also mentioned heart
disease in a seasonal trend. Heart
disease in some form is the lead
ing cause of death in Connecticut.
A peak in the winter months is noted
from the records. Undoubtedly a
number of these were caused by
over notwithstanding snow, NOV
ing heavy objects such as ash cans,
or walking long distances in heavy
snow-ref1ecting wartime conditions.
Mr.. yelling threw out the SUCCESS
ton that 1t would be we'll, in the
case of snow shoveling by persons
over fifty years of age, to see that
this is done slowly with frequent
intervals of rest. Mr.. yelling also
suggested the wisdom of adults hay
ing a periodic physical examination,
since in an average year the NOR
tally in the age grouping of 5000
increases by about 140 per cent over
the next lower age grouping of 1880

Every American household wastes
at least one slice of bread week.
That stacks up to 100000, 900 loaves.
Sure, we all do it. Every man,
woman and child in the United
States wastes about three-quarters
of a pound of good food every day.
Our armed forces and our lend
lease Allies could have chowed well
on what we chucked out last year.
Today, 100000 meals are served
every "a hours in public eating
places The leavings scraped off the
plates would feed 100000 soldiers.
And many cities have sanitary laws
forbidding restaurants to use any
served bread, rolls, cream, butter,
etc not eaten by the customers.
That gees for hospitals and institu-
tions, too. But if restaurants try to
limit servings, many customers COM
plain.
CAN'T ELIMINATE WASTE
We waste between 20 and 80 per
cent of all the food produced. But
we can't stop in completely. Waste
doesn't exist in vacuum. It's tied
up with habit, manufacturing and
transportation, as we'll as wasteful
ways of cooking. If we can cut
down bread waste from 100,000,000
loaves a week to 100000 or the
ga pound we toss into the garbage
pail every day to 4 a pound, We'll
still be getting places.
The Army and Navy have gone
after waste with military thor
oughness. Many wholesale food
merchants, professors, and dis
tributors waste food. However, in
so vast an industrial set-up, many
causes of waste cannot be entirely
overcome without establishing new
systems that require new machinery.
In wartime, that's out of the ques-
ton.
Quantities of food could be saved
if we had more workers. But
there's transportation shortage.
And, so it goes. In the final an
alysis, it's up to the home folks.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-11-23

Rev. J. DOnnelly 100000 in ten
years. More than three millions
have been destroyed within the past
four years by planned starvation,
forced labor, deportation and meth
odical murder OF the SOS, 900 Jews
living in Germany when Hitler
came to power only 5000 remain.
The magnitude of this horror al
most moves into the realm of the
incredible. But these things are
facts. And human history has sell
dom been disgraced with more
hideous evidence of the insanity Of
hate.
JEWS IN AMERICA
We in America have watched
these things from afar. In no ma
ton in the world have the Jews
been allowed the liberty and been
shown the justice that they have
enjoyed in our nation. While in
most of Europe government restric-
lions have decreed the locality of
their dwellings, the schools they
must attend. and even the profess
sions in which they might engage,
in America-and justly so-Amer-
cans, with few exceptions have
;reated the Jews as fellow Amer
cans.
THE DANGER
Today, however, we have in our
country an unpleasant echo of the
rumbling that has swept across Eu-
rope. We sense the feeling, we see
the growing tension, we hear the
irresponsible accusations, and there
is reason for concern.
AS the war progresses the sacri-
fees and the sorrows of the people
will resolve into more and more
bitter determination. Our good sense
and good judgment will become
slightly warped, for nations do
much in wartime which they would
not consider in peacetime.
At the end of the war there will
De an even greater danger. When
the cost of the war in lives, money
and suffering has been computed, if
the nation follows the pattern of
the past, the distraught emotions of
the people will seek a Scapegoat for
their bitterness. Where the thunder
bolt will strike is not certain, but it
is certain that the flood of anti
Semitic propaganda which has
spread across the nation during til
past ten years has enkindled q
smouldering fire that can quickly
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-11-23
Catholic Thought And Opinion


spring to flame.
In the face Of this danger and in
the midst of this threat the Amer
lean people must stand as one. In a
democracy an attack on any single
group Is an attack on all groups for
1t is an attack upon democracy it
self. Today, when we have sent our
armies to all parts of the world to
fight in defense of freedom. some
at home are allowing hatred to eat
out the heart of the principles Of
democracy and freedom.
THE CATHOLIC ATTITUDE
What is the Catholic attitude to-
ward anti-SemitiSm? Perhaps q
story might illustrate 1t.
Shortly after his coronation, Pope
Plus TX was riding through the
streets of Rome in his carriage
when it was held up by a crowd
surrounding man who had fallen
to the ground in fit. What is it?'
asked the Pope only a jew" ans
wered a bystander. rs he not a
man and your brother?" asked the
Pope sharply, and stepping from
his carriage he drove the sick Jew
to his home, leaving him with a
present and blessing. Later an
official delegation of the Jewish
people of Rome called on the Holy
Father and presented him with a
chalice in token of their gratitude.
Plus XXI AND ANTI SEMITISM.
More recently Plus XII set the
standard when in 1888 he met the
anti Semitic out-burst in Europe
head-on with an official declaration
of the Catholic position in which he
used these sentences: Abraham is
called our patriarch our ances-
tor. i-Semitism is not compat-
ible with the sublime reality of this
text: 1t is a movement in which we
Christians cannot share. No, it is
not possible for us Christians to
take part in anti-Semitism. We
are Semities spiritually"
THE HEART OF THE
GOSPEL is CHARITY
To be both Christian and an
anti Semitic is impossible. He who
hates the Jews cannot profess tc
follow the teachings of Christ
Mister what is the greatest COM
mandment in the law?" Jesus was
asked. And he replied: Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with the
whole heart and with thy whole
soul and with thy whole mind and
thy neighbor as myself"
Charity is the heart of the Gospel
and race hatred is as much a con-
tradition of the Gospel as any
other form of heresy."
Today every American looks for
ward with hope to the day OF
peace. We are determined that the
new world will be a better world
The heart that harbors hatred OF
any group betrays our hope and oul
determination. If we are sincere in
our duty to God and our country
in this critical hour of human his
tory we shall do all in our power to
rid mankind of the curse OF hatred
that has shaken the foundations OF
civilization
