CAMPINe WEEK
 TOEND MAY 2
Klusmann Stresses Em. p0riance of ChiIdren's
 Sites im War Effort

Tho importance of chlldren's camps in the war eRogt and the post war planning was stressed to- day bg Wes II. Klusmann, newly elected pss-.dent of the American Camping association, who urges par- ents not on farms to send their children Co camps this summer. Children's Camping Week is being observed until May 2. Working in close cooperation with government agencies, camps of the country nave devised programs which are vital part of the fight for Victory. he sad.
 aour association has held confer ences with eleven government agen- cies, resulting iRl specific gecommen- dations on the contributions the camps can make to c nation at war and the post war days to follow" !" Nr. Klusmann continued, "All of us are aware that it is possible to win the war abroad and yet lose it at home. We oil are SO coslcentrat- ed on production and the training of men, both imperative to victory,
 that we must be careful not to lose sight of the things that are basic here on the home front. Among those basic factors are the problems of children in war time."
 Children want Co feel they are doing something for their country and Co satisfy the desire the sum- mer camps will channel their play and their schedules into productive talks, according Co Mfr. Klusmann.
 victory gardens will occupy a prominent place in our camps" he said. "Crop rescue work and con- seEvation assignments are included, as well as health building projects that will take advantage of discov- cries of our Army and Navy train-
 ing centers. Then too, our camps
 have made plans to help youngsters play out the strains of war; to en- joy the comradeship of their own age and to learn, as Manpower Commissioner McNutt put it SO apt- ly, what precious thing it Is to be-
 long,
 Tn regard to post war problems,
 the camps were organized in their responsibility to educate children in the ideals of democracy and tine new world meaning of freedom" MT. Klusmann said.
 Mfr. Klusmann pointed out what a boon summer camps for children would be for parents engaged in de- fense jobs, many of whom in peace times had provided for the vaca- ton needs of youngsters themselves at home. Tn the knowledge that in- portant governmental agencies have endorsed summer camps, MT. Klus- mann urged parents to enroll their children.

RED CROSS DRIVE
 ACHIEVES QUOTA
Generosity of Waterburi. ans Aids Chapter to Help
 ServiCemen's Families

Contributions to the local Red Cross war fund total $l40.267. ac- cording to an official report by Mrs. Herman Rooster, chairman. at Q meeting of the executive board of the Waterbury chapter yesterday afternoon. The quota assigned here by national headquarters was $i3e.OOO.
 Mrs. Rooster said $4,OO0 of the excess amount will be allotted at once to the home service division which serves men in the armed forces and their families. Activities of the unit have spread considerably, it was pointed out, and additional funds are needed to carry on the work. Thirty-four per cent of all contributions over the local quota will be kept for service of the local chapter. while the remainder will be sent to the national office.
 Work of the chairman and other volunteer assistants and canvasserS was praised by Major John M. Bur rall, executive. chairman of the chapter. He called attention to the minimum expenses of $49o.93 of in- volved in conducting the drive and to the efficiency of the workers.
 Additional donations received from factory employees were among those which helped to boost the collections over the goal. The fol- lowing employees contributions were added to the list: Chase Brass and Copper Company, e3.63s; Ecovill Manufacturing Company, $3.O82; Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Ma chine Company, S370: Waterbury Steel Ball Company, e55.l0.

practical var agreements with Erie tain and the United States.
 While the British government was criticized for allowing the Poles the paper with which to print ansi-Bo- vlet newspapers and funds for gup- porting what the Russians regard as an unfriendly government, purely military considerations if n0thinR else appeared to Do preventing any widening of a breach between Rus sia and the Anglo-AmeTicans.
 However, an analysis of the Rus. sian position with regard to Po- land clearly forecast the dlElculties of the post-war settlement. 1t is not hard to see that the Germans mlgiat revive the Red bogey fears in Turkey and Sweden by propaganda sugs gesting that Russia also may enc visage Joint control of the Darda. nelles and a frontier on the Atlantic by slicing off northern Finland and northern Norway.
 That propaganda line already has been tried out by the Germans witfl varying success.
 The Russians have made clear how they define the Friendly and neighboriy" powers along their from tiers. If they set up in Moscow which is quite pOssible-scfne form of Free Polish committee" they will establish a pattern for the postwar government of eastern Europe.
 This could enyisage similar gov ernments for Finland, Hungary, Ru- mania, Bulgaria and Jugoslavia. Fol the present at least there was nc question of that kind of 6 setup foI Czechoslovakia, since Czech rela- tions with Russia are excellent and the Russians pay tribute to the gal. lantry of the Czech battalion fight. ing on the eastern front.
 The minimum effect of the Soviet Polish crisis is bound to be an in. tensification of feelings among slct refugee governments as Jugoslavia and Greece, where Fundamental DO. litical tensions already exist.
 The raIniflcatiOns even extend C tine French, where the Russians have been strong supporters of Gen Charles Dc 0aulle. About the Oniy refugee regimes where there are nt apparent effects are those oI Czechoslovakia, Holland, Belgium and Norway.
 While theoretically 1t might bl possible to arouse Norwegian fearl regarding Russia, practically no such problem was regarded as likely tC exist.
 Repercussions on Finland were certain, however, since the Soviei action makes it obvious what al. ready was pretty certain-namely that the only terms on which the Russians would call of the war witt Finland would include the iflstitu- ton of a new, friendly Finnish gov ernment and the cession of strategic areas.

Kansus Points The Way
 In Labor Legislation
One of America's Oldest Trade Papers Acclaims Recent Legislation as New Spirit of Coop eration, Protecting Employer, Em-
 ploye, General Public.

is, in our opinion, c simple forth right enactment covering funda- mental rights of the individual, management and organized labor. It should be studied closely by leg islative groups in other states where the problem of labor con- trol is current, for 1t begins to appear any national act on labor control Is merely wisllful think ing, and the State of Kansas has set an example of proposing to deal in understandable terms with Q problem that has strung out into a prolonged political harangue in Washington.
 The State of Kansas, not pri- marily industrial, may not be the best proving ground for labor legislation. But the pattern that state has provided is nevertheless one that Is so simple, so clear, so well-balanced, it should be widely publicized throughout the nation, for other state legislatures may want to attempt to decentrali1e some of the statesmanship con- centrated at Washington, of which there appears to be so little ex- hibited there on the problem of labor control.
 The best part of the Kansas Act is that 1t reflects no radical con- trols or attempts to strangle the performance of the individual, the labor organization or the manage ment. It shows a reasonable at- utGde toward the rights of all, but carries tho threat of punish. ment for extra legal activity un- der the law. It sl1ould serve In the State of Kansas as . tri- partite agreement in which a new spirit of cooperation should be engendered if all parties under the act accept 1t as the corstruc. tive piece of legislation that 1t appears to be.

Although these disturbances may
not be recognized BY the person
affected as the precipitating fac.
tors OF sleeplessness, they must be
done away with II normal sleep Is
TO be resumed.
Certain stimulants are we'll
known causes Of wakefulness,
like coffee, ten. and even alcohol
for some people - but not all
people are affected BY all these
things. Stimulating talk, exchange
Of ideas producing excitement
may lead to insomnia also. Sleep
lessness may for any one OF these
reasons come TO one who normal-
" sleeps well, and take on the
aspect Of a bad habit, which can
be broken, but which for the
time being Is extremely annoy
ing.
Persistent, hahltual insomnia,
particularly In older people, may
OF course be due 10 some organic
disorder like hardening Of the
arteries or high blood-pressure.
But elimination OF most insomnia
except the last mentioned can be
undertaken BY the victim himself
once he recognizes the source Of
his stimulation and removes It
