Politics
In
Passing

A retaliation survey In 1929 is
pretty hard TO make campaign
Issue In 1913, but Republicans are
willing TO gamble on anything this
year In an effort TO break up the
Democratic reign here in Waterbury.
Down through the last years Of the
Guilfoile administration, all through
those of Frank Hayes and Vincent
6cully, these same retaliation docu-
inents reposed in the assessors
vaults, but If the public or press
clamored TO see them 1t was in
mighty low voice. Today, however,
they are OF the utmost importance
and II only Democrats would say
they couldn't be looked at COP Joy
would reign supreme. The fact that
Mayor John s. Monagan Immediate
ly declared them public property
took the wind out OF those well-filled
sails.

They do say that the big

than one side to it. There was
tho main show which was the
result of II natural reaction
among residents of the East End

IS miles southwest of the Crotone

Eight units from British light

east coast north of Mt Etna to
lombard railways near Giagargina
feeding the German armies facing
the British below Catania. The
range was so close that machine
guns were leveled against them.
The shells set fires in stations,

Remember last year when Water
bury, like every other red blooded
American community, was going all
out for scrap metal, rubber drives,
etc. Well, reading small article
in Business Week the other day the
writer learned that American en-
thusiasm is a tremendous weapon. So
much scrap rubber was collected
that there's enough on hand to last
three years If all of this rubber can
be reclaimed. But cursory check
up has shown that all won't be re-
claimed. And the rubber mats that
executives lifted from their office
floors or car-oWners so patriotical-
ly turned in are Of such inferior
quality that their reclamation value
Us practically zero.

Twice now the mayor has
made 1t more or less evident to
critics Of his administration that
he Is not trying to conceal any
thing from the public and Is as
DESTROYS of maintaining good
government as the next man.
Some months ago he gave the
Zimmerman report on the police
Department to the press; now
the revaluation survey of 1929
Is available. All OF which isn't
the way his political enemies
would like TO have IL. They
want opposition, so they can cry
politics TO the high heavens. But
Mayor Monagan, in the fashion
Of his illustrious predecessor,
the late Vincent A. Scully, be-
lieves his public office is a pub
lie trust and tries at all times
TO conduct it so.

| In the good old days, income tax returns
had to be filed only once a year. The worst
that could happen to you on July Is, Septem-
Der Is and December Is was to have to write

Congress has been asked.
Why? On account of those multiple returns
which the Treasury succeeded in adding to
the simple original pay-as-you-earn principle
To handle the red tape with which Treasury
experts bedeviled a Straightforward mod

Of course, you understand that all these
troublesome, expensive returns aren't neces-

We can not prove that they were added
deliberately, for the purpose OF making the

Tho third war year daWns for

On the second anniversary Of
pear, Harbor. the tide of defeat
is running heavily against the
treacherous Japanese foe in the
pacific. Events unfolding in New
Guinea the Solomons and the Gil
herts lend terrible force to the
Observation-Disclosures death de-
cree pronounced at Cairo even
though they are but curtain rals'
ers for events to come.
Since erection of the hit-Hitler'

the point where neither Chinese

councils as surely as the founda'
tons are being set in the Pacl

for Allied operations on a scale
that will in due course destroy
Japan as a world power.
There are authoritative intima
tions from Australia and Honolulu
that the preliminary phases in the
Pacific of far-flung Allied often

are under way. Rabaul, the New
Britain key base of the Nippon
csc insular line in the Southwest

With its fall under the triple Aus
tralian-American attack aimed a

Truk itself, however, is close
to 1000 miles north and a little

it is incumbent upon residents tc search attic,

The Child Leads

A child shall lead them. How often adults
have proof Of this.
Fresh proof has just reached this office. 1t
is composition by boy ten years old,
Louis Davis, in IA grade, Sunset Park school.
Louis ought to make good lawyer, or
preacher. He opens with a leading question.
why not buy stamps?" he wri,es-meaning
war saving stamps. Then he SCOTS at the
defense. Buying stamps is easy" he adds,
and it sets forth his reasons with exceptional
clarity. The following lines are an exact rep
etition Of Louis compositions:
If you save SC out of your lunch money
every days you can buy stamp
Don't 60 to the show stay home and
study. That's another stamp
Don't ride the bus save the fare That's
another stamp.
Work around the house if Mother gives
you a dime don't buy candy. That's an
other stamp. Ask Daddy for dime tell
him what its for. That another stamp.
Collect old paper and junk and sell it,
that's another stamp.
Keep on and you'll soon have bond
This is not only fire example of sound
argument and perspicuous brevity for the ben
eft Of others. Louis is not telling the world

December Is Nears

Well, here it is almost the 15t1. ct December.
Thanksgiving is past thank goodness Christ
mas is just around the corner and after that
comes the New Year.
Probably you're busy trying to find gifts
for the youngsters the relatives, and those
friends who just must be remembered even
in war time. You may even like some others
OF U.S. be wondering now you are going to
finance Christmas at the current "stabilized''
level of prices without suspending war bond
purchases or going short ON food.
It's a shame to add to your worries, but
between now and December 18th you had
better take time out to look over that income
tax estimate you filed in September, and see
whether it still holds up. If not, you know,
you must file another estimate by midnight
