otherwise would have died trying to land in North Africa. It shortened the initial operation so much that our expeditionary force was at the gates of Tunis and Bizerte before it was supposed to have consolidated the original beachheads. The policy toward Vichy which accom- pliShed this probably really was one of "appeasement". Should it, therefore, be tried and condemned by epithet? We occupied North Africa = put our selves in position to open the Mediterranean and to establish a jumping off place against the continent = for song. In doing so, we made certain commitments to the French who either helped us openly or resisted" with cordial formality. Those commitments are known to only few. It is a safe guess that they included promise not to interfere with the civil administration.
 Some day soon we shall want to land in France. We hope to find a welcome there because we shall be coming as lib- orators. If, now, we assume civil control over North Africa, breaking express or implied agreements with the French there, how can we expect their brethren at home to put faith in our promises? Appeasement is big word, broad con- ception. There can be the futile ap- basement of diShonor, like that of Munich, or the sound appeasement of honorable if unpleasant expediency. Let's not be too intolerant about that of which we know little.

Tin Can Area

The daily or several times weekly stunt of stepping on tin can and flattening it out is one of the duties that has descended upon our average American citizen. When we say average, we refer to her or him who takes this particular trouble. And it is bit of job at that Count 1t among many such small duties that are now the housewives in her non- combatant assistance in all-out for defense.
 Pearl Harbor has faded into the past; not entirely forgotten, and figuring from that momentouS event over million tin cans have been salvaged in the State of Connecticut. As you vehemently crush the empty can beneath your heel it some- times seems a futile and irksome job "The few cans have will never be need- ed,'' you hear it said. But the few cans you use WILL be needed. Returns are not what they should be, and the salvage does not realize the amount of tin that it should. Among the difficulties en- countered in the tin can collections are lack of trucks and gasoline, also lack of prompt and efficient community check-up.
 It is also said that hotels, apartments hospitals and other institutions are"not good contributors. All this information is passed on to us from the War Production Board. It seems, as we analyze the statis- tics presented, that we have not done our best in the tin can campaign which is not centralized, nor should it be, in just one area. The tin can area should be widespread all over our land where folks eat timed food from corn to black bean soup

Trial By Epithet

There are those who are worried be- cause only the unquestionably pro-Axis officialdom has been cleaned out in North Africa - direct representatives of Hitler and the relatively few who by specific action have proved themselves enemies. The great mass of Branch officialdom remains in the jobs where it was placed by Vichy or left by the Petain regime as holdover from pre-defeat days. This, some believer, constitutes unjustifiable and hazardous appeasement. From this distance, one would be foolhardy to form any fixed conclusions about such mat ters. However, there are considerations which, tentatively, may be suggested in offset. The State Departments attitude toward Vlchy was bitterly condemned by a vocIferous group of critics who felt that no seIf-respectlng nation could con- tlnue to deal with the Petain-Darlan- Laval collaborators.
 When the test came, that policy paid huge dividends ln lives of Americans who

The Liturgical Movement

Much has been said and written about the Liturgical Week held last fall at St. Meinrad's Abbey, Dubois County, Indiana. The current issue of Fisher Edition News" has an interesting article on the general news and program of the week whose theme was "The Praise of God" The words of a Catholic layman in attendance at St. Meinrad's seems to us very important and impressive at this particular time.
 He said, when asked about the reason of the very keen interest in the gather ing: "FirSt, the conviction of the neces- Sity for profound and widespread renewal of the Christian spirit as the great antidote for the worlds misery. And second, the increasing realization that this nation of ours must now replace Europe as the fountainhead of the great liturgical movement which had already begun to make progress when the Second World War started and swept even it's physical evidences into oblivion"
 The importance of the liturgical move ment is appreciated in no small measure, not only by the clergy, choir directors and organistS, but by intelligent laymen. The liturgical movement has a great her itage and is based on sound Christian tradition. The movement comes close to all, and should be doubly of interest because there is some likelihood that Lturgical Week will be held in our state capitol city, Hartford, in 1943.

The Chief Report Center of Water bury's Civilian Defense Set-up is con- , Stantly losing many of its volunteers on < the Il to 3 and to 2 early morning shifts due to the fact that most of the men who signed up for duty have been drafted into the Armed Forces or are working the night shifts in the local factories. Officials entrusted with the task of keeping these watches main- tained are exerting every effort to fill the vacancies with a volunteer drive, con- tacting various businesses, civic organ izationS and individuals to ask them to assume one or more of these four hour shifts every other week..
 It isn't much to aSk-only 96 hours year out of 8,760 And during those hours you are entrusted with the protection of over 100000 people. The work has to be done. There is no glamour attached to 1t. There aren't any medals given for steady attendance. But, too, there isn't much glamour for the boys over in North Africa or down in New Guinea or in some other far-away place where our fighting lines are maintained 24-hourS a day, seven days week.

 There are still many people who cling to the theory of letting George do it.. Well, George has been doing it. He is the man who has been reporting faith fully for duty every other week and working in the factory some times seven days week. He is the man who is called olfk of he'd at all hours of the night when volunteers don't show up and goes down to watch alone for four or five hours.

PLANNING FOR NEW POPULA-
 TIONS OF THE CITIES
(New Haven Journal-Courier)

N4NCW x1dVC1k OOuA 4CAy
 A survey of 1S7 metropolitan counties shows remarkable gains in population between April 1940 and May 1942, a period of two years and one month. According to the Gen. sus bureau, Detroit has grown by 3S6, 1000; Washington, by 2S1 1,000; Chicago, 149,000; Los Angeles, 1Sl,- GOO; Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, 107,000; St. Louis, 97,00O.
 No one knows how many of these people will return to their former homes when the war production slackens. Some men have left their families behind and will go back to them. However the history of such immigrations is that many of the newcomers decided to stay in their new locations. There is no way to force them to leave even if a particular city should think it desirable.
 This is an expectancy which the industrial cities of Connecticut and New England should consider care fully. The public school systems, the hospitals, the transportation lines, the social agencies, in fact every organization serving the pub lie would do well to look on many of these folk as more than tempo rary. To the cities thus affected this influx will add worthwhile citi- zens. but 1t will also bring prob lens.
 An obviously unfavorable aspect of the situation is that this repre- sents Q trend toward city conges.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Dangers of SuIfanilamide

Have you stated at any time that persons taking sulfanilamide should not drive an automobile or transact important business involving exer- else of good judgment, while using the drug? co. J.)
 Answer-Yes. One taking sulfani- Iamide or other sulfa-compound should remain at home or at rest, not attempt to drive 8 car or an engine, not sign any contracts or make any similar decisions while under the effects of the drug. Good physicians generally give such eau. tions when they prescribe a sulfa- compound.

you exposed 1t.
 BOrkin shows how Krupp's worked with General Electric on tungsten carbide, how Sterling Products worked with I. G. Far ben on chemicals, how General Aniline worked with the Nazis on dyes.
 But most important of all, Bor- kin's book tells how the Nazi war lords, carefully, slowly built up the patent monopolies by which they planned to win the war, and how American big business, woe- fully blind, greedy for dollars, played into their hands.
 That's what the next set of Nazis will begin doing after this war is over. And that's why we need guys like you, guys who are not afraid to stand up and fight. I know you've been discouraged. I know you've taken some tough set-backs at the hands of the righteous compromisers around the Undersecretary of War.
 But if guys like you stay down in the legal trenches where the machine gun bullets are whiz- xing, instead of up in the judi cial clOuds-then the sons of your two boys, now in the Navy, may not have to fight another war.
 All of the best, whatever you decide to do.

You remember also that you wouldn't believe me. You called me a self-appointed judge-maker. was no judge maker, was merely trying to keep you from being a judge.
 But now I see they've gone and done 1t.
 They've offered you $l2,OOO g year for life on the Court of Ap- peals because you were the most relentless man in the en- tire Administration when it came to buclking big business.
 Well, 1t may not be kind of me to write you letter out in public this way where everyone can read 1t, but I've been in the habit of writing about you for five years now, most of 1t good, only a little bad, and I want to say now that you've done more for the basic ele- nlents of America than anyone else in Washington.
 Bob Allen isn't> around to say so, but I know that goes for him, too. We think you've done a mag nificent job-in giving the small businessman the right to compete with the big, in giving the house. wife a chance to buy at lower prices, in protecting the farmer on what he buys ...
 But why do you stop now? The fight is just beginning. You can't do any fighting up in that rarefied atmosphere of an Ap- peals Court. People aren't go. ing to read your court decisions, no matter how learned and sound they may be.
 Meanwhile, the real fact is that a good trust-buster like you is needed around here more than ever now. And here's why:

 When Schweitzer comes back to Europe, he astonishes the world with his superb organ recitals. Pierre van Paassen tells of how 6chweitzer came to Zutphen in Holland one time to preach the Christmas sermon. He absented himself from the inailse almost con- tinuously for the week during which time he practically took the church organ to pieces, repairing 1t where repaiys were needed. On Sunday he preached the sermon and also played the service and did 20 with such skill that the villagers were overwhelmed with astonishment. When later he went to Upsala 70 preach. the worked two full months on the organ and then preached and played at the same service.

We note with interest the growth of St. Mary's Hospital Library since it was started a short time ago. It is surprising to learn that there are already over 800 volumes included Much praise goes to the hospital chaplain, Rev. Lawrence E. Skelly, organizer, who has been instru- mental in encouraging and planning the project. There has been a Wholehearted cooperation by the hospital nurses and doctors. The hospital library idea is be- coming widespread in the country. The pleasureable pastime of reading is fine thing for patients. Let us hope St. Mary's hospital prospers under the direction of the competent Father Skelly Through this library opportunity many patient may become acquainted with books and authors that he or she might never have encountered in their daily existence.

NIGHTMARES


 Children with adenoids or exs tremely large tonsils or both often have nightmares.
 so do adults who sleep under exc cessiye covers or in a poorly vens l tilated room.
 Disturbing, frightful or vividly unpleasant dreams commonly occur to invalid who are subject to cer. tain chronic diseases we need nos mention here, disease conditions which oxygen deficit in the tissues or cells of the body.
 Tn short, disturbing dreams or nightmares are directly attributable to oxygen deficit, in my opinion. That is, for one reason or another | insufficient oxygen is delivered to the tissues and cells.
 Excessive eating, drinking, srnok" ing is well known to cause insom- mia and disturbing dreams or night- mares. believe all of these factors disturb sleep by producing oxygen deficit, or "anoxia," as physicians call 1t.
 To promote sound sleep and pre- vent frightful dreams these general suggestions may be helpful: 1, Darkened room, well ventEat- ed preferably cool or cold air,
 never heated.
 2. Comfortable mattress an d
 springs, not too soft, not sag
 ging in the middle. The ight- est covers consistent with cor1-
 fort. Thick pillow, thin pillow. or no pillow, as you prefer
 3. Sleep in any pocture or posi- ton you prefer, though gen.
 erally relaxation is easiest if
 you curl up more or less, like an animal, and it doesn't mat-
 ter whether your head is toe ward the north pole, the south
 pole, or your Aunt HarrtetS clothes-pole.
 4. Never take yesterdays or to-
 1norrow's problems or schemes
 to, bed with you. When you hit
 the hay always be a child again and let your reveries be
 on happy childhood experiences
 which have no unpleasant as-
 sociation-re-enact your role
 in some such experience in every detail.
 5. If it is no go, don't lie there and sQuirm and feel sorry for
 yourself. Get up and write a letter or read 8 book or do
 knitting or crocheting for an l hour or two-these occupations
 help to get your mind off from
 yourself.
 Insomniacs, think, are all sel- fish or self centered, abject liars especially about the amount of sleep they never get, and whether they acknowledge it or not, generally burdened with a bad conscience. That is, they are guilty of some meanness or unfairness to others, and subconsciously they worry 0 good deal lest they be found out A person whose conscience is easy doesn't get all in a stew if he happens to be wakeful for an hour to two at night. Instead he thinks about something else and takes the opportunity to relieve some happy experiences f~long ago and usually drops of before the adventure IS oVer

tion and away from the diffusion of
 population into rural and subur- ban areas. Some of the new plants
 like those built in Michigan mad
 Kansas are literally in the country
 and will help to pull workers out of the cities.
 But in New England most of the
 war factories have created the op- posite trend. Now is not too early for mayors and governors to initiate some imaginative planning in terms of what these new residents can do for the cities and what the cities can do for them.

More nurses needed We hear that on all sides all of the time. The call for VOL unteers has been pretty good in most branches of active service. Those whose daily jobs do not keep them occupied for a whole working day, the high school students with free afternoons, teachers in one-seccion work, and the old folks at home, have all rallied round to help out in the defense factories. Housekeepers with few obligations at home, house keepers with obligations and family of children, have all been prompt to take over factory job. It is being done. And we hand it to them. But-not nearly so many are giving their services to nursing, taking the courses offered. They are needed. The nurse shortage is acute.
