slogan - mo Child Without
O Merry Christmas"
There were years all Of us
would rather forget, when mer-
chants and citizens were mighty
low on funds such as Black
Christmas, 1881 The Good
fellows income in those times
was entirely limited 10 the hun
drcd or two dollars the Old
NewSboys garnered from news
paper sales yet generous
merchants extended the neces-
sary credit for purchase of toys,
clothing and other gifts worth
many times that amount. No
child went without a Merry
Christmas.
The need was great In those
years and although the
list was long, Goodfellows
searched (and fOund more
needy cases Some fine
men (many Of them now gone
to their eternal reward) work
ed hard in those days and dug
down into their slim personal
funds to keep the organiza-
tons slogan unchallenged.
The Old Newsboys are faring
forth again this year, determin-
ed that their championship OF
childhood's Christmas joy shall
be maintained. Obviously
the need is not as urgent as in
former years but there is
a need, and there will be in the
years TO come. Children OF
men serving with the armed
forces are the principal trust OF
the Goodfellows this year.
Be generous when you buy

proud of. The alumni group re,
membered its friends in the ma.

Christmas packages which were

duction maximum at an unprecedented
industrial peak, and won't need an ex-
banded power system later-according
the new government power projects must
compete with, not supplement, existing
installations. The opposition can also
question the need of 16 million more
arabic acres.
Based on the efficiency of present gov
ernment-owned power plants, the new
ones would produce between six and nine
million kilowattS of generating capacity.
Produced from steam instead of water,
it would take from 16 to "a million tons
of coal. That's a years work for 10000
miners, and means about "a million dol
lars pay at the present rate. TO that can
be added another eight million dollars
to railroad workers for hauling that much
coal. The opposition could dig up 1887
report which Mr.. IckeS (thiS time as
chairman of the National Resources Com
mittee) made to the President in which
it was stated that the average overall
cost of producing electricity from water
power was six-tenthS of a cent, as against
four-tenthS of a cent from steam.
Mr.. Ickes can point out the utter fool
ishness of hauling coal to the far west,
where water power is abundant. And the
opposition can counter that the greatest
power demands are in the densely popu-
lated east and midwest-right in the coal
country When all this has been
thrashed out, the debate will probably boil
down to the question of private enter
prise versus public ownership. The pres
ent temper Of Congress is rather pro-en-
terprise. Unless Mr.. 1ckes can guarantee
a great industrial boom in the west, he
may find it quite struggle to pry Con-
gress loose from three billions-which in
postwar days to come may again look
like quite stable chunk of money.

Surprise for Adolf and Toto

zone hundred octane" is the commonly
accepted name for an aviation super-fuel
now available in large quantities only to
the United Nations. The production of
100 octane" gasoline on the enormous
scale demanded for today's air war, is
possible only because the scientists,
engineers, construction men and process
workers of the oil industry and the con-
tractors serving it have labored nightly
in the last three years.
To gain some idea of how the American
oil industry has done the impossible" in
fueling ten of thousands of Allied planes,
facts recently released by single United
States oil company are enlightening.
Since Pearl Harbor, this one company,
with it's thousands of workers, has turned
blue prints into operating units which
today are bringing it's production up to
a point where its plants alone will soon
be making enough 100 octane gasoline
to fuel a thousand-plane raid on Berlin
every other day.
That is an example of how American
initiative and enterprise throughout our
country have set speed and production
record that Adolph and TOTO will never
be able to match.

Power Fight A-Brewing

Another hot utilities fight will probab-
~ start in Congress when Secretary Ickes
Tin his role of Bureau of Reclamation
chief gets around to asking for three
billion dollars to reclaim 16 million desert
acres and construct some 200 hydro-elec-
trio power plants in II western states.
Mr.. 1ckes will probably put forth some
good arguments. Besides the new food
and power sources, there will be three
year jobs in actual construction and In
construction material production for
half million returned veteran and for
ner war workers. But the opposition will
doubtless land few haymakers. Some
likely arguments are these: the tenn
porary construction jobs will mean the
permanent end of thousands of jobs for
coal miners and railroad workers; hydro
electric power costs more than the steam
electric variety; we are using only about
~ per cent Of our theoretical power-pro-

TROUT MADNESS

The sun had not been more than
a few inches above the horizon this
morning before the maddeSt of the
army of trout fishermen had made
their first catches.
There Is something about the
opening of the trout season that de-
fies understanding. Long before day
light the seekers after speckled
beauties are beside the brooks. The
moment when, under the law, they
may cast an impaled worm into the
gurgling waters no more arrives
than into the stream goes the worm.
The fisherman's blood pressure
rises, his nervous tension increases,
ne steps into a pool deeper than the
top of his boats, he even falls into
the water, but If trout strikes and
he gets the fish in his net or on the
bank, pneumonia means nothing To
him. He has opened the trout sea-
son, and his soul Is content.
One never feels that way about
the opening Of the hornpout sea-
son, for instance or the opening of
the rabbit hunting season. But about
the trout has been painted an aura
of romance and mystery for which
old Izaak Walton Is largely re-
sponsible-and Ike has lad a lot OF
help from sports-hungry manhood
and dealers in sports equipment VIII
are glad to encourage trout-ma(
ness. The trout is a beautiful fis.
It is smart fish-whe,' it ism

pie live out the span of life which
a kindly nature intends them to
have. We cannot lengthen life by
day, but most people shorten
their lives UNNECESSARILY. Some
times, they do this by worry and
trouble. Others allow some indul-

grave. Still others are won't to
give up in the face of any sickness
and to make death practically in
evitable. Mentally, they commit
suicide. They get themselves into
such a state of mind that death
finds itself unresisted In its assaults

people could live much longer if

STIMSON ON THE
JEWISH QUESTION
Secretary of War Stimson has

Lieut.. Ambs, last summer, wrote
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1944-04-18

two letters to superior officer
about his new command at the
station hospital at the Florence
Internment Camp, Florence, Ariz.,
expressing his happiness over his
new assignment because it was
the first he had had where there
were no Jewish officers.
Congressman Marcantonio, who
last summer battled the Navy on
anti-Semitism within the ranks,
protested to Secretary of War
Stimson in January concerning
Lieut.. AmbS' utterances.
Immediately, two brigadier gen.
erals and one colonel, representing
the Inspector Generals office and
the General Staff, called at the
Congressman's Office. They con-
ferred at some length, but Marc
antonio says they We're not SO
much interested in the authenti-
city of the letters Che showed
them the originals as in how he
got them. For anyone to turn
such letters over to congressman
was, they felt, conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and a gentleman"
Recently, Marcantonio was adj
vised by Secretary Stimson that
the matter had been investigated
and no action would be taken.
While the expressions used by
Lieut.. Ambs in his personal cor
respOndenct to Colonel Kirmes
were unfortunate" StimSon wrote,
nothing has been established to
show any real animuS on the part
of AmbS toward persons of the
Jewish race"
Refusing the Congressman's re-
quest to examine the investigation
file, Etimson wrote that, since
Lieut.. Ambs' statements were not
official. "they have no official VAL
idity insofar as the War Depart
ment is concerned"
