Support United Church Canvass

One Of the most significant expert
mentS In all church history will be COM
pleted in hundreds of communities
throughout this nation during February
81 to March IA. It is the United Church
Canvass. Sixteen inter-faith groups, all
national in scope, joined in a nation
last fall, and the experiment in practical
church cooperation proved eminently
successful. Laymen especially responded
to this united effort. National radio
chains put ex-President Hoover, former
Governor Lehman of New York, and
Joseph G.. Grew on the air to support
the canvass. Newspapers gave freely OF
space for news and ads. Charles E. Will
son, vice-chairman of the War Produc-
ton Board, Washington, D. c., is chair
man of the sponsoring committee.
The purpose of the United Church
Canvass, according to Mr.. Wilson, Is 10
secure personal and financial support for
the religious enterprises of the country;
to recall nation that has drifted away
from religion, back to a realization that
the American way of life as it IS today
must be brought to the recognition OF
spiritual needs - so that men may not
live by bread alone, but "by an indwell1ng
spirit which energies only from the
depths of our souls, from God"
We urge the churches of this COM
munity to join this campaign. If they
are not making financial canvaSseS this
spring, they can, nevertheless, join the
United Church Canvass in order to raise
extra world relief funds, or to further the
general purpose of strengthening the re-
ligiouS life of America. The National
committee, at 297 Fourth Avenue, New
York City, has agreed to supply inforna-
ton and publicity material on request.
The Church is the foundation of the
both financially and morally. If we keep
the Church strong we can be sure that
real America. 1t needs our support -
ciAn liberty and religious freedom will be
basic principles of our nations life. :.
So, support the United Church Canvass!

Horace Dutton Taft

In the passing Of Horace Taft the
country has lost distinguished man
and educator. The loss seems more per-
Sonal to Connecticut, especially this
locality, where he has lived and built up
one of the country'S outstanding pre-
paratory schools. Mr. Taft lived long
and useful life. The school Of his found
ing, Taft School in Watertown, will ever
be memorial to him. Though retired
as active headmaSter not long ago he
continued to associate himself with teach
ing and was still pretty much Horace D.
Taft of Taft School,
Mr.. Taft published book last year,
memories and Opinions" in which he
wrote in a scholarly fashion of his own
life, his opinions. Tall and imposing Mr..
Taft, a member of noted American
family, gave the name even added dis
tinction in the amount of work that he
achieved in his system Of boys training
and education. Taft School has been and
always will be, if the Taft tradition goes
on, worthy institution of learning.
AS an educator he stands out promi-
nently. All might not subscribe to other
views. He had pronounced ones on a
variety of subjects, and though many
might not agree with him on certain
specified views he had the whole-hearted
admiration of all who knew him person
ally or followed his routine educational
work among boys. It goes without say
ing that Connecticut. will feel his loss as
If he were a native son. For Horace D.
Taft was a part Of Connecticut in the
making. He lived close by us here in
Waterbury and surrounding country. He
established and carried on something
worthwhile during his lifetime Con-
necticut and all our country will mourn
DISTINGUISHED man.

Elevation of Thurman Arnold, the
New Deals trustbuster, to the District of
Columbia circuit court is rumored at the
capital. This could be in the nature of
reward for loyal, aggressive service to
the ideals of his chief. Or it could re-
semble the graceful liquidation Of an
embarrassment. Mr.. Arnold got along
fine so long as he attacked only corporate,
or management, trusts. The road became
rocky, however, when he went after organ

A Great Violinist Plays

A concert by Fritz Kreisler was always
great event. Musically speaking, the
best that the artist was capable OF was
offered; and as such it has always been
vociferously received by the American
music loving audiences. Also some OF
this profound interest, this spontaneous
enthusiasm was for Kreisler, the man.
AS man and musician he ranks as one
our distinguished American citizens.

From now on we must begin, not at the
beginning; we must begin all over. We
had brand new set Of instructions re-
cited to us over the radio the other night,
succinctly, repeated twice for good meas
ure. The sum and substance you will
probably find in the adjacent news col
umns. Our air raid signals will be dif-
ferent. A great many, perhaps, did not
memorize the original rules for blackouts,
so they can begin from scratch. The SIX
teen states on the Atlantic seaboard must
be prepared for a new set of signals and
regulations February II. Now don't
start to grumble because this will be
comparatively easy compared to what

ford, New Haven, or Waterbury back in
the Buckingham Hall concert days. Such
demonstrations never seem to ruffle
Kreisler, and it was in this same quiet
manner we read that he accepted the
tumultuous applause this week at Car
negie Hall.
The violinist then started his routine
program, the main part of which was
the Mendelssohn Concerto. At the close
of the program he was given similar
ovation, the audience again rising en-
Inasse. A great occasion for the audience
and similar one for the artist. One
can imagine Kreisler thinking about
these things, quiet thoughts, but appre-
ciative.

Protestant church also could be
built.
However, no Protestant church
wanted to build. But, Dempsey
went ahead and, without 1ckes'

March, 1912, Dempsey author
lied Supt. Bryan Of tho Ma.

construction Of the chapel.
BY this time, Secretary Ickes
found out that his Undersecre-
tary had overruled him. Accord
ing to National Park officials,
Dempsey may have figured that
the church could not be built be-
cause Of prioritieS. For IN July,
1912, he wrote the Bishop that
no priorities were available. ana
the Government could not help
In getting them.
Later Dempsey resigned from
the Interior Department, and
this dispute was reputed TO be
one reason for his exit. Shortly
thereafter, Ickes wrOte letter

"By yonder moon swear "A more
modern and timely version might go like
this-Aty onder moon I swear. That might
be the sentiment Of most Of us, since we
are all early risers, especially these morn
ings in the last full Of the moon when
we viewed it in the west, wondering If
we were getting up at the right time.
Was it morning, or was it night? 1t was
morning even though the moon threw its
radiance across those hills that should
be rejecting the rising sun. The sun is
a bit tardy these days, but when and If
it comes up we welcome its warm rays as
we stand on corners waiting for BUSES,
or are walking briskly along in the new
est recommended exercise, the brisk
morning walk, second only to the brisk
evening walk in popularity. But wait
until spring comes! The dark mornings

Eat or Be Eaten

Colonel Nakao Yahagi tells japanese
farmers that 1943 will determine
whether we eat our enemies or our
enemies eat u.s." The colonel is correct,
technically. This year has somewhat the
same significance In the Orient that 1912
had in the Occident Hitler had to win
last year or never. He did not. Now he
never can. Hirohito must win this year
or never. He will not. The difference
is that Hitler might, possibly, have won
the war in his critical year, but that
Hirohito cannot. It is only a matter of
time before the United Nations totally
destroy Nippon as factor in world
affairs.

BAD MEDICINE FOR INSOMNIA

From that may draw two infer

muscular irritability-which Is o
familiar manifestation Of calcium

that perhaps the distress from the

It Is normal, physiological, ma

stances, In far too many instances,
II may be counting coronary throm-

cases Is overeating or drinking

Just as It is normal or natural to
sleep after q hearty meal, 30 1t Is
to have q bedtime snack, at least
for active young persons, athletes,
working people, underweight per-
sons. Sedentary, plethoric, over
weight, overnourished individuals
who are or should be under medical
care should follow the advice Of
their own physicians about this.
Again, Just as The infant or
healthy young persons normally
sleeps after q satisfying feed, so ~
is understandable that the cores

tritional deficiency was remedie0.
In fact nutritional deficiencies
deficiency Of calcium, phosphorus,
vitanin D. vitarnin B-complex or
one or more Of It's components such
as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin (nico-
tinic acid, as formerly kr1own), iron
account for great deal OF IN

men seldom realize this, probably
because physicians have only lately
recognized that nutritional deficient

Editor Of The Democrat
An article taken from the London
Times and now appearing IN the
press entitled '"The Bible In War.
time" brings to mind some interests
ing facts. The article mentions
that both the OLD and NEW Tes-
taments inevitable postscript seems
to be: 'This day Is this Scripture
fulfilled in your ears" The Bible
elucidates the newspaper: the news
paper may be said to have become
q commentary on the Bible"
Suppose we take three men, shut
one Of them up in "a room with all
the newspapers published, but with
out a Bible, so that he could read
all the world news. He would be
well informed on world events but
without a knowledge as to whether
the Bible prophecies were being full
filled.
BILE but no newspapers of any kind.
What would happen to him? He
would also be without knowledge
of the fulfillment Of the Scriptures.
Give the third man access to the
Bible and all the newspapers, and
let him have the love Of God In his
heart to prompt him to engage IN
sincere study and he would find
something that Is Undesirable. The
scriptures are being fulfilled lin
the ears" OF millions Of people Of to-
day who will not hear.
Note jeremiah 1912 God stated "a
