Saturday was the coldest April 3 in many years and Sunday runner-up in frigidity. The animals from the Ring ling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus just arrived on siding from win ter headquarters in Florida felt that they got a good frost on arrival. The circus will go into action this week Friday and daily in the big city for about month, then on to Boston, and then to your town and my town. The opening in New York will be bond affair, admission only by buying war bond. From then on tick cts will be for all who have the necessary cash. It is expected that this season will be the biggest ever since everyone that wants one has job.

Now that the visit of Archbishop Spell man of New York Archdiocese has been protracted and he is still travelling in foreign parts In his official capacity as Catholic military vicar of all United States troops, there is less of conjecture about his real purpose in leaving this country. He has since his departure been to many places. At the present time he is in London, England, from where he spoke on a short wave length Sunday It is his purpose to visit soon in a country that formed the background of one of the greatest dramas in history, the life and death of Jesus Christ from crib to cross, to which Is added the se- quel of His glorious resurrection, the not ed churchman will visit during the final week of Lent, and will celebrate Mass on Easter Sunday in Jerusalem.

Editor. Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Far from the laundering of guns, the crashing of bombs, and the rum bling of tanks, battalions Of young able -bodied convicts march in aim- less circles within prison and jail walls. fed, clothed, sheltered and amply insulated against the rigors oi warfare. Like great fat cats-even to the stripes in few isolated in- stances-they purr away a thor- oughly useless existence in some of the most costly stone and steel ken- nels man could devise. Here is the most incredible folly one has ever dreamed would be indulged by a nation locked in & nip-and-tuck struggle for survival. Hitler must have had this monument to stupid ity uppermost in mind when he made his contemptuouS remarks about the decadence of democracy
 One hundred and twenty-five pris- ons and reformatories and thirty five hundred jails and warehouses scattered throughout the United States protect these innocents from the danger to life and limb which your sons and mine gladly subject themselves hourly at the several bat tlefronts.
 The writer recently visited e world-famous American penitentiary and saw with his own unbelieving eyes these pampered fat cats bask- ing in their haven of security-poS- sibly a grim enough place in peace time, I grant, but certainly a serene sanctuary in time of war.
 I bear no malice against these men, who certainly aren't enjoying their segregation from society. They are paying sufficiently for their mis- deeds, and I raise no clamor for the proverbiaI pound of flesh. But view with mounting anger the an- omaly of their sheltered position in time of total war.
 Look ahead a decade. Think oi | the legion of the cream of American youth who are fighting in this wal who will emerge sightiess. wttless maiTsed. shattered in mind and body. Think of the scores of thous- ands who will make the final sacri' flee.

Kitchen Fats

The nations housewives still are falling down on one of their most important and yet easiest contributions to the war. They were turning in - even before meat rationing scarcely third of the kit chen fat needed for making explosives and for other equally vital military and naval purposes,
 Close to 17,000000 pounds a month about two ounces a person - is needed. House wives have been producing less than 6,000,000 pounds - around three fourths of an ounce a person. That is not enough.

Bremen Come Through

New York's firemen voted to determine whether they should continue doing un- paid " duty" as a standby precaution against air raids or other war emergen- cies. It was predicted that they would turn down the proposal by heavy mar gin Instead they accepted 1t by ma jority of almost two to one.
 Once again 1t develops that the men in the ranks see more clearly than their alleged Spokesmen, who seem to find 1t desirable to rant and rave and object -- perhaps to let 1t be known that they are still on the job

 ST. PETER vS RUML PLAN
 During the Ruml Plan debate, Republican Representative Noah Mason of Illinois argued, amid some spirited l1eckling by Rep. Bob Doughton of North Carolina, that pay.as-you-go tax receipts would be strong talking point with Saint Peter. He explained:
 "I will say to Saint Peter when I reach the Pcagly Gates: ' have brought with me Q Fe" celpted tax blll for every year that was supposed to pay taxes down below. Unless you have got something else against Ma. SOn yOn have just got tO open up those pcarIy gates and let me In.' What else could Saint Pee ter do but let him in? What could he say tO mel"
 "IR be knew yOu were for the RuInI pIan," interrupted Dough. ton, "he would say to you: De- part from me ye worker of in. iquity, for ! know ye not"

Waterbury's Civic Orchestra Concert season closed auspiciously Sunday night with a good turnout. What was feared might be less successful season due to a lack of young men for the orchestral ensemble did not materialize as such, ana a quota of musicians adequate for the programs planned did their stuff TOT three major concerts. The conductor, Mario Di Cecco, smiled happily sunday night as a well pleased audience demon, strated their appreciation of task well done.

SONS HERITAGE

 Ruth Morehouse in the Christian Science Monitor) This is the land my father knew, Where he from boy to manhood grew. These are the hills he saw each day Lifting their crooked backs this way. These are the acres that he plowed, And over which my frame is bowed Until see the sky between My blue-clad knees, tipped-up scene In which sky is where ground should be. These are the things he used to sec And now see them through his eyes And feel his hymns in me arise.

 Sister informed by doctor she has a heart murmur. But he told her not to be alarmed about 1t. as 1t is not serious. Stiii she can't stop worrying. (H. J0 Answer-Hf it is not serious why did the doctor mention 1t at all? A murmur is a sound. either replac. ing one of the normal heart sounds or occurring between the heart sounds. It is often insignificant. Why not have your sister examined by a real doctor and settle the ques. ton that worries her?
 Resistance
 Seems to me you question there is such a thing as resistance.
 (F. R. H.) Answer-I do. When a physician talks about lowered resistance" [ know he doesn't know what he's talking about. Immunity is a defi- mite, even 8 measurable state. Re sistance" Is wholly fanciful-nO one can define 1t, in the sense it is SO commonly applied.

Writes of Need
For Volunteer
Dressing Aids
Coolidge. Ariz., Feb. IT, 1914

Coolidge, Ariz., Feb. II, 1943
Editor Coolidge Examiner:
May | explain little about the
Red Cross surgical dressing room?
There is mistaken idea regard
ing the necessity OF women max
ing them here in Coolidge. A
telegram to the county chairman.
Mrs. H. G. Richardson states, The
Army has asked the Red Cross for
$50. 1000, 900 surgical dressings by
March 81" AS only 1870 of these
dressings can be made by com
mercial agencies. the balance or
162.0O0.000 MUST be made by the
women OF America. Can any one
question the great need of this
work?
We are much disappointed that
more women in Coolidge have not
responded to the call. No one
need hesitate about helping be
cause OF lack of knowledge in
making. Every one is welcome
and tho not able to make many
dressings in a day, every dressing
helps.
SO many men and boys of Cool
idge and vicinity are in service
that If one life should be lost for
lack OF proper dressings what ex-
cuse could we make if we have
not helped?
We meet every Monday, Tues
day. Thursday and Friday in the
High School building. second
floor, room %. from $50 A. NJ
until 1880 F. NJ. FOR THE DUR
ALTON. Those who come in the
afternoon may stay until 4:3O if
they so desire. We have many
faithful and efficient workers and
We appreciate the sacrifice some
of them make To attend But we
need more. This is voluntary ser
vice now but no telling how soon
the call may come TO draft work
ers in this as in other war work
This Is wartime and this is war
work. It is the one thing We all
can do. Let us not do. TOO
little. too late
Thank you.
