The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-21

All are acquainted with the touching letter of a. soldier father (who later died in service) to his small son. It was marked down as a masterpiece of its kind. This week there appeared another letter that was an impressive bit of writing. It was in the correspondence of Christian Science Monitor, from a man signing himself Frank" to his younger brother entering the army. "All your life," he wrote, 'you have looked up to me, but all that is over. Now am looking up to you and can't tell you how proud I am. have always tried to help and guide you but now you are entering upon new life about which I unfortunately know nothing Tommy above all don't ever allow yourself to be in- fluenced by your weaker companions in any way and above all retain your faith in God and His protection" This is just small portion of some choice phrases, and throughout the letter faith and trust in God are accented.

It wants men at the head of labor unions whose creed is the American creed, and not foreign creed that advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of Government. Law and or der must be preserved at any cost. but let GUS strive for justice and wisdom in its administration. The world is seething with an unrest that threatens the destruction of all liberties, all order, all property. and all means of production. The poison of hate has sunk deep in the hearts of men and filled their minds with madness. There must be remedy.
 The problem of worker and em- ployer must be solved. This que5- ton has been sidestepped, neglected and evaded the world over. Labor in this country has been sleeping at the switch. We have left the prob- lem of worker and employer to the dreamer, the agitator and the pol- tician. But the time has come when the best brains of the nation must focus their combined rays upon it if orderly government is to endure. It cannot be settled by employers alone. for they will have a narrow. biased, and circumscribed view. It cannot be settled by labor leaders alone for the very same reason. It cannot be solved until we have

Jan. 16, l94S. Editor of The Waterbury
 Democrat:
 Being fully aware Of the broad policy of the Waterbury Democrat on matters relative to the labor movement, please permit me to answer a letter that appeared in the Waterbury American under date Of January 14th and signed by Elizabeth Wade White.
 With all due respect to Elizabeth Wade White; she is entitled to her opinion, and assure her write with no prejudice, I believe as she does in the right of free speech, and in the right of the individual to express himself or herself, in mat ters that belong to the domain of opinion. Questions of a political nature that have no moral implica- tions belong to the realm of free discussion.

 TANKS AND CLOTHING
 For relief cases, food and cloth ing are already being shipped. But 1t is @ terrific problem, ex- tending to the population of IT, 100000 Arabs in the three states Morocco, Alegria, and Tunisia. Most Arabs have money to buy provisions = but there are no pro. visions.
 In fact, the native wOrkmen employed by the U. s. Army are asking payment in food and clothing, Money Is of no use.
 Both Gen. Eisenhower and State Departments Robert Murphy agree that supplies must be rushed. They have even gone so far as to suggest that supply ships could fill in the corners among tanks, guns and munitions with food and clothing. Eisenhower estimates that, 10000 tons of clothing a month could be shipped in this way, without adding ship to the conveys.
 But when the ships arrive, he has another problem, for the port facilities are overtaxed, and even after a ship has passed through sub-infested waters, 1t may have to lie in port for days before 1t can get to a dock.

 Although the French political situation in North Africa has made the headlines, the Arab situation is almost worse. Cables say flatly that unless the Arabs geI food and clothing, there will be trouble.
 German broadcasts are respon- sible for the unrest. Before the invasion, the German radio told the Arabs that food and cloth ing shortages were the result of the British blockade.
 After the invasion, the German radio declared that "the invading (U. S.) forces are feasting upon the countryside like a horde of lOcuStS.
 But discounting the propaganda, there are severe shortages of three articles Indispensable to the Arabs-tea, sugar, and cotton cloth. To the Arabs, who place great faith in ritual, the severest blow is lack of cotton cloth for shrouds for the dead.
 And since the Arabs greatly admire the strong, they fail to

TIC DOULOREUx

A man 70 years of age had corr suited several neurologists (nerYe specialists) and had passed through the machinery of the best adver- tised clinic-having suffered for eight months with nocturnal attacks of tic douloureux. I have never had it, but from observation of suffer- CTS I'm willing t conc;de it is atrocious.
 All remedies that were tried failed to give any appreciable relief. The man had artificial teeth, both up- per and lower.
 Let us pause here moment, chil- dren, and contemplate the plight Of. any man, woman or child 70 years old who has no teeth. I say 1t is a sad commentary on the line which many dentists, physicians and edu- cators have taken in the past fifty years. The line is so simple that the moron mind understands 1t clearly: A clean tooth never decays. It im- plies, of course, that dentists are llnimportant in our Yankee scheme of life. The important thing E~ that one must always have ones Goottl- brush in ones pocket or bag. If one brushes ones teeth regularly, re. ligiously, thus and so, obviously one will never need dental care.
 In a navy induction station more than a hundred dentists are work ing day and night shifts putting the teeth of sailors in condition before the young recruits go to sea = the very fact that practically all of these youths need filings goes to show that the present system of popular education Is wrong. An of- ficer of the dental department ir!- forms me that these boys coming from all walks of life have brushed their teeth as regularly as the e''il- eral public does.
 Resuming the report of the case, the patient was subjected to X-rsy examination of the mouth nevertEr- less, and the films revealed the re- mains of a tricuspid root in the up- per jaw. For the information Of those not familiar with anatomy, the fifth cranial (tri-facial, trt- geminaD nerve has thre'c branches, one distributed to brow and fore head, cornea, cilia, iris, lacrimal (tear) gland, lining of nose; one of the dura (brain membrane), skin of cheek, teeth of upper jaw; and the third branch supplies the lower jaw. lip, lower teeth, mucous membrane of tongue and muscles of mastica- tipn. Reluctantly the patient submit ted to surgical removal of the long buried remains of the root ofSthe tooth, and since that was done he had had no further pain.
 The doctor says he was led to this diagnosis because his brother -in-law, dentist, had pointed out years ago that he had never seen a case of tic douloureux in which he had not found an old root buried in the jaw. t't-a

A war breeds renewed faith, also charity and love for our fellowman. But it also breeds hate. We are taught that we cannot, or should not, hate our en- emies But quite a bit of time is spent hurling invectives on leaders and coun- tries that are, in the present debacle, major offenders. This point was brought home in an impressive talk here Sun day by a noted Jesuit editor and lecturer. Hatred should not take the place of dis approval All persons and all countries, as he said, have certain rights, no mat ter what their offenses are.

Selected Poem
FIRST SYMPHONY: JOHANNES BRAHMS. (By Anderson M. Scruggs in the New York
 Herald .Trihllnel

Here is a realm untouched by time and men, And greater than he who dreamed 1t; here is peace And the hearts yearning that will never cease That like the dusk and daybreak comes again And yet again; here is surge of sound Billowing beyond the earth like the last bright
 bloom
 Of sunset cloud against the deepening gloom Of some far shore than man has never found. This is no music played by mortal hands, Here s the earth in motion; here, the wind Sweeping the violin strings now, full, now thnned; Here thunder wakes in drums; the dawns nFst
 strands
 Invade the flutes. and day at last Is torn Prom the shores of sleep. in the golden grief Of
 a horn.

Anv One Can Have One

Amy One Can H0Ve One
 Tn the paper you said any woman who can turn a somersault and come up smiling can have a baby, My wife can do that, but she can't have a baby. A year ago stopped off in Canandaigua and had pleasant chat with your mother, wonderful old lady. (A.A) P. s. My wife is 65.
 Answer-It is still possible, if you will relent. Lots of fine babies to hts had for the asking, you know, if you're qualified to take good care of them. Mother still reminds me oc- casionally that her neighhors used to point to me and shake their heads and say "You1l never raise that one"
 iCopyright 1s4s, John F. Dille Col taught the people to understand that labor and capital are partners in the field of production and dis tribution: that the prosperity of one aids the prosperity of the other; that whatever hurts either, hurts both, that labor needs capital and the brains that go with capital, just as much as capital needs labor and the brain and brawn that go with labor: that when either labor or capital is endangered, they should rush to each others defense; and finally that in their relations :o each other they must be guided by a Christian concept of Justice in their negotiations with one another.
 There must be reasonable wages and reasonable hours (wages may be too high as well as too low). :

Until November 3

Judge Thomas D. Quinn in Mu-
nicipal Court today continued until
November % the cases of three men
charged with liquor law violations
in Thomas Circle yesterday. They
are under $1,000 bond each.
A fourth person who allegedly kept
them sufficiently stocked to supply
customers with bourbon at IS a pint
Is being sought by police.
Those held are Harold L. HoSkin-
son, "a; Albert Goodman, 40, and
Chester o. Collins, 26, all of whom
gave an address in the 1900 block
OF Massachusetts, avenue NV. All
gave their occupations as statesmen.
Detective Sergt. Roy Blick, who
made the arrests, said Hoskinson
was guarding a cache of SO pints
while the other two sold the whisky.
With whisky at a premium here,
Sergt. Blick said the men did a
land-office business on the several
nights police observed their opera
tions. Customers apparently did not
object to the price, which is much
higher than the OPA ceiling.

Board said it was investigating the
case. 1t reported a check of the

there was no way of telling when
