City Hall circles buased during the making of new voters from the 10th to the l7th of october. A voting machine. set up in the main lobby, rang continuously as new voters tried it out to see just what they were expected to do on November 2. In attendance at the machine during the seven day session of enrolment were mem- bers of the League of Women Vot- CTS. Frequent were the remarks that everyone who tried out the ma chine was being shown how to cut for various candidates. And the object of the criticism was the league representative who was dem pnStratlng how to use the machine, However, the Waterbury League of Women Voters when 1t agreed to man the machine in the City Hall also required that anyone giving such service should simply explain the operations of the machine and not show how any type of vote would be cast until first asked by tho individual, If this routine was not followed then it was in dis regard of the leagues mandate and it doesn't seem as If members would be inclined to go contrary to this.

Brlen McNIahon Is expected to make solitary appearance at the Town Hall session to be sponsor ed at the Waterbury WOmen's club Monday night. The orig inal Idea was to have both MT, McMahon and Senator John A. Danaher appear on the same pro. gram, one similar to that which featured Mrs. Borden Hartman several weeks ago. But Senator Danaher declined to come here, perhaps when he learned that his is0lati0niSt stand was under critl- Cism by the League Of Women Voters and that his position on international affairs had been the subject of some discussion by the league.

 One noticeable thing during tho 19a4 campaign iS the complete absence from the scene O action of ex- Governor Wilbur l.. Cross. The venerable Yalenslan and statesman did not play too lmpOr- tant . role two years ago, but his presence was evident. This year, however, perhaps for req" sons quite n0n- political. he has scarcely been mentioned. There are stlll many who would keep both ears glued to their radio sets just to hear that familiar voice again.
 The complete line.up for the congressional fight in Connecticut this fall Is as follows; First Dis- trict--William J. Miller. incumbent Republican, versus eX-Rep, Herman Kopplemann; Second District--John D. McWilliams, incumbent Repub- iican, ys. Mrs. Chase Going Wood- house. ex-secretary of state Third District--Ranulf Compton incum- bent Republican, Vs, James P, deelan, longtime Democratic state senator from New Haven; Fourth District-Clare Boothe Luce, incum- bent Republican, vs, Miss Margaret Connors in Q battle Of beauty and glamour; Fifth Dlstrict-Joseph E.

 Political circles are commenting favOFably on the plan used by the Republicans here in Waterbury this year to foster . visit from the state candidates, There will be one big rally, the dinner sched- uled for The Elton later this month. It is being sponsored by all the Republican organizations Of the city. In contrast Co that there have been . series of Demo. cratic gatherings and all of the several political groups have been running counter attractions.

RUSTY GETS RILED

Captain Rusty Larcombe, editor OF the Phillips County News,
who is now serving in the quartermaster corps at a Texas sta
ton, still has time to issue a few editorial snorts OF derision or
praise. Rusty's column is closely read, for what he has to say
is generally to the point. His latest outburst has to do with
what he calls "the civil service mind"
His most recent contact with this form of humanity came
in Texas. The chief civilian clerk there came round to inquire
as to- Captain Larcombes needs for office help. The captain said
he needed none. A few days later, he found two new clerks in
his office.
He goes on to say that this Reminds me of the time in
Washington last year, when all officers and civilian chiefs la
bored earnestly for two days devising ways to do more work
with fewer people in aid of the Nmanpower crisis. The
result was an order to prepare a chart, showing the new setup
and its positions. (Oh, that damnable word 'setupl)
"Our show was turned over to the lady principal clerk, a wise
old gel with only 25 years experience as a war department en-
pIoye Instead. of effecting the consolidation we had ar
ranged with so much blood, sweat and tears, this she-wizard
tackled on about a dozen more potential jobs Cvacancies' they
are called, got her play approved by higher power and, be-
1eve, closed the deal by getting herself a $500 raise in pay on
the ground that she had more people to supervise now, and
rated it according to regulations!
"Ho. hum! l know there are thousands of capabley con-
scientious folks making a career of civil service and giving far
thousands, largely in centers of government like Washington,
who haven't delivered a days work since they were hired.
In many cases it is not their fault as individuals, and hence it
is deplorable organization and management which 1 criticize.
The private business and private individuals who support
this system of polite burglary wouldn't tolerate it for a single
moment in their own enterprises, yet apparently they are
saddled With it in their government and unable to protest eff
fectively."

WATCH FOR INVASION PROPAGANDA

Americans, in the trying months to come, will have to exer-
else discrimination and common sense as they read their news
papers or listen to the radio.
Already, there are signs that the axis nations have launched
their counter-offensive of rumors and lies as invasion APP
proaches. These have several purposes, among them to sow
disunity among the United Nations and to raise approximations
among the parents and relatives of our fighting men.
The Germans are clever propagandsts. We already hear
and read many stories about secret weapons" While not all
are suspect, we should be particularly wary of those tales from
neutral sources" in Sweden or Switzerland points where Nazi
agents plant many of these lies. 1t is re%grettable that some
of our radio commentators and some newspapers in our country
overemphasize some of these rumors.
A veteran correspondent told how Germany may try to
spread disunity in the coming invasion. On a radio beam to
America, the Nazis may feature a fake American prisoner, who
will relate how his unit stormed a beach, then waited in vain
for promised British reinforcements. This broadcast will be
varied for the British only by having a British soldier" tell the
same story and substituting the Americans in the role of those
who never came. There will be mysterious rumors trying to
show that each of the United Nations is negotiating for a sep
arate peace" There have been some already.
These will all ain to distract us from the main issue, That
issue is clear: we know well who are our enemies; we know what
nations are torpedoing our ships, killing our men and bombing

FOR IMPROVING THE CIVIC CENTER

Our CIVIC center has proved a definite asset to Glasgow and
a large surrounding territory. AS a meeting place for various
groups, for gatherings and for athletic contests it has no equal
IN eastern Montana. 1t has attracted much favorable comment
from visitors and has been the inspiration for several proposed
postwar projects in other cities. The city reports that it has
been possible to operate it the past year without the use of
public funds. Now a proposal is being discussed to make it
even more useful. The center is not completely equipped. It
needs more chairs and it needs additional bleacher space to
accommodate comfortably the huge crowds that are often at
tracted to affairs. The current suggestion is for a civic center

RANGE BLAZE
DANGER GREAT
This SEASON
Agency Superintendent Warns
That Most Fires Are
Mani Caused.

Warning that the season is part
icularly hazardous for range fires
and that the great majority of them
is caused by man was voiced this
week by F. A. Asbury of Poplar
superintendent of the Fort Peck
Indian agency.
IAN analysis of the major prairie
and timber fires reported on the
reservation the past three years
reveals that not less than n per-
cent were man-caused and % per-
cent from causes probably not
Smokers" and debris burning" both
ranked high.
Most of the fire losses on the
Fort Peck reservation and surround
ing country must be considered the
product of neglect, indifference and
careleSsness. We cannot afford
losses during peacetime, and during
time of war such losses are intoler-
able he comments. This includes
the serious loss of food production.
This spring season comes with a
great deal of old grass. brush and
weeds on the ground. Fire hazard
will be high. Mr.. Asbury says, and
complete cooperation will be needed
to limit losses.
He makes six suggestions for all
residents of this section.
l. Don't burn off fields during
high wind. Whenever burning is
necessary, pillow sufficient burrows
to protect adjoining lands. Start
fire or the side against the wind

2. Don't throw a match away
until it is out.
3. Don't throw out burning tobac-
co.
4. Don't leave ashes out in the
open and unprotected.
S. Don't build campfires near in
flammable material and be Sure to
quench such fires with water and
earth. Make campfires small.
6. Don't use leaky exhaust pipe

QUOTING ANOTHER ROOSEVELT
(Kalispell Times)

Here's what Theodore Roosevelt had to say about. criticilng the
man who occupies the high office of President of the United States:
The President of the United States is merely the most important
among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or
opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct
o bad conduct his efficiency or ineficiency in rendering loyal, able and
service to the nation as a whole.
Therefore, 1t is absolutely necessary that there should be liberty to tell
the truth about the acts of the President of the United States. and this
him when he does right Any other attitude in an American citizen is both
base n serVne. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about the Presi-
dent of the United States, u anyone else. But to announce that there must
be no criticisms Of the President of the United States or that w are 10
by the President, right II wrong, is not only unpatriotic and seryile
but is morally reasonable to the American spirit" ssf~s o.

THERE ARE MANY PERFECT

"There is no single perfect diet
there are many perfect diets!" DR..
Hazel X. Stiebling of the U. S. De-

theme in discussing the work done
by the United Nations Conference
on Food and Agriculture.

ling, who is assistant chief of the
Bureau of Human Nutrition and
Home Economics, sis to develop food
plans for each country that will in
sure proper nourishment and at the
same time be palatable, acceptable to
consumer tastes and habits, and suit
able to production resources. This
task is one to be tackled by nutrition
experts who are thoroughly familiar
with conditions in each country. In
consultation with agriculturists and
economists, recommendation for i'm
proved agricultural and economic
policies can then be made that will
conform with the highest goal OF
feeding possible Of achievement at a

Alters HELP PRODUCE MORE
MILK

You and every other civilian in
America drank an average of 246
quarts of milk last year for a nation
al total of roundly 36h billion
quarts. This volume, which would
fill a row of quart milk bottles 264
feet wide that would reach from New
York City to San Francisco, and
thence to Los Angeles, is over 4 bill
lion quarts more milk than the ma
tion's population drank during an
average year in the 1859 period.
Contributing immeasurably to the
boost in milk production that made
this increased consumption possible
were approximately $4,000 rur
boys and girls participating in All
dairy animal projects.
For their outstanding achieve
ments in the national All dairy pro-
sduction activity, 39S of the youth
full dairymen and maids in Al states
received medals of honor from the
Kraft Cheese Company for having
top records in their counties; III
comprising blue award groups in %
states were awarded with $25 War
Bonds; ten sectional representatives
were given trips to the National All
Club Congress in Chicago, and five
recipients of national honors each
received $500 college scholarship.
BY helping to increase milk pro-
duction, the Alters also made a
direct contribution to the welfare of
our armed forces, every man in
which needs at least 200 quarts of
milk annually.
