AUTHOR AT EASE

The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-08
Morale Builder

Years from now people may not talk about the private or public papers of Franklin D. Roosevelt, but they certainly should still be quoting passages from his radio talks to the American public. His remarks of yesterday noon, meant for world consumption, were typically Roose- veltian, typically American, and very pleasing to the ears of the Allied Nations. If at this point in the great world con- flict we need something to bolster up our hopes, to encourage greater efforts, cer- tainly the Presidents message provided it.
 There may not have been the outward signs of exultation, the manifest indica- tions of agreement with what he reviewed of the past in accomplishments and what he prophesied for the future, but there was lot of quiet Satisfaction many were the grunts of approval as the various points in our world-round fight for democracy were emphasized. It was both satisfying and fighting speech We were reminded that what we had achieved to date had not come without much sacrifice and effort; it required no great sense of perception to realize that our ultimate success would come only with greater efforts and greater sacrifices
 Coming as it did at time when we of the eastern seaboard states are being reminded more and more of wars grim features the Roosevelt speech may not have alleviated our fears of what is to be our donation to the war effort in annoyances, privations, etc., but we did sec clear skies in the distance. It may not be 194S, but it's obvious to us, both by virtue of what the President pointed out and what we read nightly now in our newspapers, that there is definite assurance of an Allied triumph. It should make us redouble all our efforts to help win this war, come what may and how great may be our own personal sacrifices and contributions. The Pres ident remains very much an inspired leader.

Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell

Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell did much for modern college education. President of Harvard University from 1909 to 1883 he made many drastic changes at Harvard. As matter of fact Harvard was con- pletely revamped by him from top to bottom. It would not be possible to cite his many progressive changes, but among them were introduction of the house plan and tutorial system. His new ideas were not so easily accepted at first by dyed- in-the-Wool New Englanders, but eventu- ally many conservatives were impressed.
 Dr. Lowell, member of an old Boston family, died Wednesday at the age of 86 years. He was descended from an illus triouS family, all true Brahmins in the intellectual output of many generations of Lowells with Boston and Harvard backgrounds. The Lowell family from back in 1760 were men of affairs, and they were all very definitely connected with Harvard.
 Dr. Lowell experimented with Harvard to the extent of introducing the "house plan" similar to the Oxford system. He not only split up the living quarters in planning many Georgian houses, but architecturally he re-arranged Harvard, splitting it up into seven colleges. His progressive methods doubled the student body. He opposed the shorter college year and course and introduced the tutorial system by which general or divisional examinations were required.
 Dr. Lowell was an acknowledged authority on the history and science of government and he wrote some import ant books on government and legislation. He was man who accomplished much in his lifetime and laid an important and secure educational foundation for pos terity.

just what includes pleasure driving. We may drive for certain purposes; to church, to the doctor, or other justified travel. We may not use our cars for travel to the race tracks, football games, sports events of any kind that are particularly for pleasure.
 What constitutes pleasure driving will be fully defined; and the individual may fit this to his own pursuits. Through this drastic measure oil and gas ration ing will be controlled. It has seemed advisable to do this. As we know the individual will not curtail his justifiable pleasures voluntarily; that is, the average person. Many can and do quickly make sacrifices before they are called upon. In these various rationings it is hoped to have generous and whole-hearted CO., operation in order that all may have the necessary supplies that will insure comfortable if not luxurious living.

Don't Forget The Home Folk

A fighting French officer reminds us not to forget the 30,OO0,000 anti-Nazi French men and women in France. The 8O,O0O active De Gaullists now fighting against Hitler outside France are more sensational, but their part is infinitely less hard than that of the stay-at-homes who even passively are resisting.
 Few of us can imagine the courage re- quired in occupied France for the slight est gesture of opposition to the Germans for hungry children to refuse choco- late because they hate the givers; for the dairyman who kidded Germans into walking miles to his place, day after day, for butter that he never would have for them; for diners who walk out of res- taurants at the earliest legal moment after NaziS enter.
 The spirit of France still lives, as Hit Ter yet will learn to his cost.

Pleasure Driving

Those fatal words appeared in the headlines yesterday. As matter of fact they are not so fatal. We here in Amer ica have become accustomed to a certain mode of living. According to our means we have certain standards. And it is very poor man that does not drive his own car when and where he pleaSes. At least this was the case until yesterday when the OPA put ban on pleasure driving This hits all those in the seventeen eastern states who hold A, B and c cards. Included in this sweeping gesture was the cutting of non-fuel oil 25 percent.
 So it would seem that we are appre- ciating each day that we must give up more and more and make the necessary sacrifices demanded of us. It will take s little study to acquaint ourselves with

Turnabout

One thought in Eddie Rickenbacker'S tale of his experiences after his plane went down at sea seems particularly worthy of repetition for it's possible ef- feet upon the thoughtless. If by some miracle the men from Bataan, Guadal- canal, New Guinea, Tunisia and other fighting fronts could be brought home to change places with workers in Amer ican factories, the famous ace believes that production would double almost overnight.
 Those men know at first hand that wars are not won with goods in process. They know how Death entertains him. self with inadequately and improperly equipped troops They realize how many lives could be saved if every machine worked 168 hours week at top eff ciency. Is there some way, except by giv- ing every man shift under enemy fire, that this lesson can be impressed upon the nation?

It has gradually been dawning on MT. and Mrs. Average Citizen that his way of living is undergoing drastic changes. The coffee and sugar rationing bothered scarcely any and the shopper could get about all she desired from beef to bacon. The scarcity in commodities has been pretty gradual. At Christmas time one looked rather stupidly at empty shelves and walked out of stores when the verdict came-we have no more and do not expect any more. Then came the day you were cut on your butter; the days you could not get any, and could not pick and choose the kind and cut of meat of your preference. You simply COULD NOT get along without the usual poundage of butter! But you eventually found out you could do without and are doing without-very nicely.

Our standards of living are gradually changing. We are only now beginning to realize what land of plenty we lived in. A year ago we opened can of caviar with impunity - or was it can opener - and lavishly spread the bits of toast to be consumed with cocktails. We ordered chops and roast and many kinds of vegetables and greens and let tuces and cheeses just to be on the safe side for big weekend. We haggled over beef, lamb or turkey or porterhouse or sirloin, and bought bottles of olives and relishes and soups by the dozen We also bought our bananas by the dozen.
