A Thought for Today
Nature To Our Aid

Mother Nature evidently decided that suffering region needed surcease. At any rate the mild weather of the last few days was welcome break in the long spell of cold weather which has been raising havoc with the oil tanks and coal bins of New England and much of the northeastern seaboard since early Decem- Der. This has not, by any stretch of the imagination, been mild or open winter. It isn't, of course, the severest on record, but it has produced really cold weather and there's probably more to come.
 But right now we are enjoying some what of a respite from the extreme cold that has proved such drain on all types of fuel. At this moment fuel and range oil is scarce. Mayor John s. Monagan has taken prompt action to relieve the acute local conditions, but it may require even more than official directions and de- nnandS He is to be praised, however, for his fortnight criticism of the 'first come, first served" principle which apparently is figuring the equitable distribution of fuel throughout Connecticut.
 Officials at Washington, particularly our senators and congressman, ought to take more active interest in this situa- ton. Of course the majority of the Con- necticut legislators at Washington are newcomers and can't be expected to be able to get results. But we have Senators Francis T. Maloney, John A. Danaher, and Rep. Joseph E. Talbot. They should be able to present Connecticut's side of the case. New England has been given a heavy burden to bear in this warfare, what with gasoline and other forms of rationing being particularly severe here. Tho rest of the nation should be quick to recognize our sacrifices and to make ef- forts to cut them down.

Only Two Pat. of Butter, Mother

How quickly we find that the mashed turnipS are still mashed turnipS with a small piece of butter thrown in! How quickly we become accustomed to less butter on our bread, and (oh cruel fate) on our griddle cakes and waffles But- ter was something we used in abundance. It is safe to say we wasted it in Sca1l- dalous fashion. Butter, butter and more butter! We measure cupfuls for tasty cake. And the pounds of it that were cooked away on the pan in frying! Who cared about drippings with the ice box stocked with several pounds, and lots more where that came from.
 Butter. We spread it thickly on crackers. When we dined out we had the busboy spiking pat after pat so that we might enjoy a thoroughly butter-y meal. Sometimes children found their way to the icebox and just dug in at will. Why we know of some folks that spread it on gingerbread. Butter. The smooth est cream sauces needed lots of 1t. Fill ings for cakes and icings called for but ter in goodly measure.
 Butter. Now we can appreciate what beautiful product it is. We think of 1t as something as palatable as ice cream. We dream about huge tubs of it. We re- call the memory childhood days when grandma had enough in the cellar for months. And we can still see our par ticular butter and egg man measuring out with a great butter knife five pounds of his best tub butter". What days, what butter But butter regard less, we are getting along and planning in accordance with each subsequent rationing.

Then And Now

The opening days of the first and sec ond administrations of Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, four years apart, were scarcely comparable When Gov. Baldwin assumed office in 1889 the United States was rot plunged into an all-out world war. Our entrance into the war hadn't yet taken place, even when ex-governor Robert A. Hurley was inducted two years ago. The Jap "Sneak" attack was even then eleven months away. But this is 1943 and var has made lot of difference in peoples ideas, even partisan ones.
 Take, for example, the request from Gov. Baldwin that the Legislature set up a War Council, comprised of the elective state officials and a number of men selected from civilian life. Creation Of this body would be one of the emergency powers that the governor has requested the part and parcel of our stream-lined war government. But the idea hasn't 'taken" as readily as might be expected. Even Republicans arc expressing doubts and even yolclng opposition.
 Last week the Hartford Times devoted a column of editorial space to criticism Dg the plan, pointing out that the state possesgeg at this time Q very fine Civilian Defense Council whose duties would, ln 1II likelihood, bo similar Co those Of any War Council. Nothing hes been sslp

Our Secret Weapon

There no longer is much mystery about the "Secret weapon" credited with tipping the scales against Old Fox Rommel in Egypt and opening the way to important United Nations successes south of the Mediterranean. Words and pictures have described the high velocity 105 mill limeter gun mounted on fast N-3 chassis which blasted the Nazis' tanks out of the way and enabled Montgomery's British to sweep westward toward junc- tion with our own expeditionary forces. Our tank buster can travel faster than any Pz (Panzer) 3 or PZ 4 in Africa. Its gun projects a shell which can pierce the armor of any tank in existence. American ordnance experts say that if tank were armored heavily enough to resist those projectileS it would require a concrete runway on which to travel and therefore would be useless under battle conditions.
 These things are important. Because we have such weapon and the NaziS do not, we enjoy an advantage which Anglo-American initiative undoubtedly is exploiting But more important than the tank buster itself is the fact that our ordnance experts were able to analyze and fill need that had existed ever since Hitler'S Panzer divisions rolled through the Low Countries and France Nor was the development of the tank buster the result of brain storm, lucky accident. It resulted from the application of ordinary industrial common sense, the method by which our ordnance techni- clans can be expected to approach every such problem as it rises.
 We had the high velocity 105-mn gun. We had the fast tank chassis. All we did was combine them, stick on some 50- caliber machine guns for anti-aircraft protection, add some light armor, and send them into action. The Axis had things all its own way for years because the Nazis always were jump or two ahead of the democracies in armament. Now the shoe is on the other foot. Herr Hitler's technicians are the ones lying awake wondering what to do against the products of American inventive genius If the tank buster were our only achieve ment, this might seem like too much growing about single egg. Fortunately, the no-longer-secret weapon is only the first in series of items now on the pro- duction lines which will be very, very bad news for Hitler.

about the future of the Defense Council, which has certainly been right on the job at all times and never could be referred to as a politically guided group.
 Connecticutis Civilian Defense Council has been a model for other states in many respects. It has been both an advisory board and an executive agency. It would be extremely unfortunate were it's efforts to be cut off abruptly at this stage of the war effort. Of course there is no reason to state or infer they will be, but there is every reason to urge the Republican pow ers-that-be to consider well one little tact-everything Democrats did during the past two years wasn't political.

New England experienced slight trem- ors late last week, felt mostly at Port land, Maine, and Cape Ann, Mass That's coming pretty near home.

We have new planet outside the solar system In fact, it is the first planet ever to be found in that vast beyond. It revolves about one of the suns. It has just recently been named Osiris by it's discoverer, Dr. K. A. Srand of the Swarthmore College observatory. Try to visualize how important this is in science, though it may seem very trivial to many who have no interest in the astronomical world. This new planet is world, even as we, and it is over four thousand times as large as the earth. We should feel small indeed. The new title is Egyptian rather than Greek or Roman which are pretty well exhausted for names.

 Willkie also says that he is com spletely opposed to the promises being made by Secretary Hull to return piece by piece the French Empire to France, such as French Indo-C China. He believes that no promises of this kind should be made at this time.

"And think we will win the war easier and quicker if we keep our col- ors clean and bright.

 That is why Willkie is going to keep on pounding at British imperialism, and hoping that part of his speeches will get across iile Atlantic to the British people who, in his opinion, don't really believe in imperialism either.

INFLUENZA

Some physicians and health aus thorities have a forebodtng ot an epidemic of influenza this winter They remind us that there was q rather widespread but comparatively mild epidemic of the flu the year previous to 1913, and that we had a fairly widespread but compara. lively mild epidemic last winter. Then, too, there is again Europe at war and large concentrations or American troops in camps. On these observations it may be that we are about to have an outbreak of the disease, but somehow doubt 1t.
 For one thing we learned bit about sanitation and prevention of infection in the World War No. l. For another, the men in the Army today are physically superior to the average of the soldiers of 1017-l8. They have had the advantage of better nutrition - not just better food or more of 1t, but the ii1- proved nutrition through childhood and youth that has been brought about through the newer knowledge of nutrition. And so l believe the armed forces of the country today are endowed with more immunity against respiratory infection that the men of 1917-18 had.
 No vaccine or serum as yet dee veloped will immunize against infiu- enza. Physicians have long recogrl- enza. Physicians have long recogl1- ized that influenza, unlike infectious diseases in general confers little or no natural immunity through oile attack. Indeed 1t seems as though the individual who has had one att tack of flu and recovered thereafter is rather more susceptible to the dis ease than before. This makes ore feel skeptical of the prospect of de- veloping 8 vaccine or serum that will protect against influenza.
 Another characteristic feature of influenza is that 1t seems to produce no leucocytosis-that is no increase in the number of leucocytes, white corpuscleS, scaverger cells, in the blood such as occurs with most acute infections, and perhaps this fall- ure of the leucopcytes or. phago- cytes to mobilize explains why in fiuenza is so virulent. Not only do the phagocytes fail to mobilize for defense against the invader but 1t would seem that effective fifth col- umn work soitens the body for att tack by influenza virus, for very often there is actual leucOpenia, that is, a decrease in the number of leucocytes normally on guard against noxious disease germs.
