"a MORE METERS
REMOVED IN TOWN
Many Yielded Considerable
Revenue; Penny Evaders
to Be Penalized

Naugatuck. Nov. l.--Chief OF Po-
lice John J. Gormley reported today
the removal Of "a meters here to
conform with q new state law which
has made q decrease In the month
ly income Of parking meters.
According TO the new state law,
meters near street crossings or in
tersections had to be removed.
Some Of the meters were In central
areas and yielded considerable rev.
enue, the chief explained.
During October UP to Friday af-
ternoon the total meter revenue was
$265, $5l under the $3l6 figure for
September.
The best month was August
when S408 was collected. Revenue
In July amounted to $256, but this
was before q drive to enforce me-
ter use was completed.
A policeman makes the collec-
tons at frequent intervals and the
money Is deposited In a local bank
to the credit of the borough. How
ever, most OF 1t Is being used for
payment OF meter costs.
Use OF the meters Is now general
although there are still a few who
seek to evade paying penny for
parking. Policemen have instruc-
tons to see all comply with the
parking rules.

engagement of For Whom the Bell
Tolls, produced in technicolor and
co-starring Gary Cooper and Ingriu
Bergman.
Adapted from the celebrated novel
by Ernest Heminway. From Whom
the Bell Tolls, was in production
for 80 months and was filmed at a
cost Of nearly $1,000. 900.
The film is provocative in that its
co-stars Gary Cooper and Ingrid
Bergman indulge In an earth NOV
ing romance and because Ernest
Hemingway clearly saw the mean
ing Of the Civil War in Spain - he
perceived the Spanish conflict to be
dress rehearsal Of the coming
struggle between force and freedom
and he attempted to awaken the
world Of democracy to its peril IN
the terms of artistic achievement.
The bell that tolls in the film
Is CALIFORNIA; Oldest mission bell,
cast In bronze by Manuel Vargas in
Lima, Peru, In 1918 for La Purisima
Mission at Lompoc.
Paramount borrowed the bell from
the mission fathers and transported
1t 140 miles to Hollywood. A special
yoke, from which the bell was sus-
pended, provided saftey In transport
tation, and also the requisite setting
for Its filming In the picture.
The bell appears in the opening
and end titles Of the film and its
tones are heard "as II tolling for all
suffering humanity.
Cooper plays the role Of Robert
Jordan while Miss Bergman por-
trays Maria. Others In the talented

No Chance To "Lose The Peace

We are constantly being advised that unless the
United Nations look out, they will lose the peace after
winning the
This is nonsense. Winning the will be its
own reward regardless of what happens after the
fighting ceases.
It may be that the nations will find it impossible
to agree upon procedure which will make peace per-
manent and it is quite likely that perfect world
will be preciptated when the fighting ends.
Even so, the winning of the will represent a
tremendous gain for civilization. It will insure the
world against Axis tyranny and preserve the funda-
mentas of AngoSaxon freedom for the peoples Of the
entire globe.
Even the most ignorant tribe of semi-barbaric
nonads will profit through the victory of the United
Nations. The world that exists after Germany, Italy
and Japan have been defeated will be much better
than in the event of their victory that comparison
almost impossible.
The "lose the peace" idea is apt to mislead the
people The objective of is not re-ordered
world It is to exist with the incidental opportunity
for peoples everywhere to develop peacefully and to
improve their condition.
This will be possible when the United Nations
win; it will not be possible if the Axis aggressors
slave mankind.

How About Drafting Miners?

The solution to the problem of the miners, if the
strike is renewed, is easy Congress should promptly
pass law, empowering the President to draft miners
for the public service using the Selective Service
chinery, and enrolling all necessary miners in the
service of the Government.
Thereafter, the miners would be treated as SOL
diers, receive $50 a month and carry out military
orders. If they dsobeyed the orders of superior Off
GERS, they would be subject to the penalty as
soldiers in battle zones
This suggestion may sound drastic, but in essence
there is no reason why striking miners should be al
lowed to mper the security of the country BY going
on strike against their government, they create
situation of peril which the government must meet in
order to exist

The surface ships which Germany

But Japan's navy is still to be reck-

1t has to be before we can achieve
victory in the Pacific. Just taking
