School Repair Program

it is only common sense to set about
to fix something when it is badly in need
of repairs; moreso, when the object OF
the needed repairs has high value. Ger
tainly the city's school buildings are
within the latter category and the pro-
posed program of repairs intended Tor
them is a common sense measure.
The education departments budget for
1914 has about $4,000 set aside within
it for the use of such repairs and the
purchase of new equipment Some OF this
work and installation has already been
done. 1t has been estimated, however, by
authorities that final costs OF such pro-
gram will far exceed this budget appro-
priation thus neceSsitating possible eX-
penditure transfers from other items.
While such an estimated total cost may
seem excessive, at this date, in relation
to the original erection costs of these
buildings plus the subsequent yearly
expenditures for their maintenance, Such
a conclusion is not fully merited.
Like many such public facilities the
lean years of the depression ate into the
health of the general structure Of the
city'S school buildings and it has only
been at the present time that Waterbury
like many other cities finds itself in
position to do something to offset such a
condition. Today many of the neces-
sarily severe wartime building restric-
tionS of the past two years have been
greatly eaSed.
For many years past the great share
of the yearly maintenance expenditures
laid out for these schools has gone into
work that consisted only of patch-up
and made-to-do nature. This has been
because in most instances the real work
to be done was too deep-seated and OF
major proportion to be feasibly under
taken in relation to the funds available
for such work, at that time. Repairs
made now on these buildings will mean
less costly maintenance in the future as
well as promised longevity
Such a repair program certainly should
be one move thoroughly understood and
participated in with appreciation by the
average taxpayer. These schools are the
public's property and the institutions IN
which the children of the city spend the
greater part of their youth. For this lat
ter reason alone their maintenance
should be up-to-date, safe and orderly.
There can be no greater worthwhile
expenditure of the city's money than on
any program promising to benefit the
children Of the city. They are tomorrows
taxpayers who If educated now to effl-
Gent and orderly surroundings will insist
on the maintenance OF such level OF civic
pride when theirs is the responsibility for
its continuance.

Hands Across The Sea

An American correspondent in Eng
land reports that some of the Yanks are
attempting to explain to their British
brothers-in-arnls the difference between
Republicans and Democrats. This, we
feel is noble experiment that should be
pursued to its conclusion, whatever the
difficulties.
Once the average Britisher has ac-
quired working knowledge Of the New
Deal, Southern, and anti-New Deal North
ern branches of the Democratic party,
and of the nationalist and International
list Republican sects; once the British
based American has solved completely the
mysteries of the English currency system,
then two of the most formidable barriers
to international understanding will have
been Surmounted.

licia on the road to the German border
and Berlin. At the same time the reds
will be hammering up the Danube into
Romania. Coincidentally, the Allies will
throw everything they have at the Nazis
in the West.
Suppose, as some observers do, that
Hitler's defending Nazis are stronger now
than those of the kaiser 26 years ago.
The attacking forces are incomparably
stronger They are in position to pene-
trate at almost any point around the
thousands of miles of Europe'S perimeter
Where will the NaziS get the manpower
to make themselves ir1movable at every
point? The prospect of their holding for

blows now being struck and those yet to

Mothers Day

Every day of the year should be
Mothers Day, but May IA has been set
aside to give Mother additional homage
and honor. Since the idea of particu-
lar day for mother was first presented
to the public it has found favor
At first it was the custom to observe it
by wearing flowers, white for mothers
who have passed on, and of many shades
for mothers living Then the gift idea
began, and we find Mothers Day as OF
1914 a more or less glorified commercial
event. However, there are much worse
things than an animated mid-May buy
ing for Mothers.
Coming in the middle of May as it does
Mothers Day is splendid thing when
properly and sincerely observed. May,
as we all know, is the particular month
dedicated to Mary, the Mother OF GOD.
She is the outstanding Mother of all
time, an example of what Mother should
be, and one to emulate.
SO while Mothers Day offers us just
another occasion to go out and buy
"pretties" and flowers for Mother, let 1t
be hoped that mothers receive the proper
respect due them, that the whole family,
where families are intact, get together at
this elimination of Family Week" and
make it good day, both for Mother ana
the family.

Moonlight, Roses, and Warmer

Washington, we understand has a new
weatherman-a young man to whom
weather means romance and poetry as
well as wind velocity and barometric
pressure. He doesn't mind saying
"sunny" instead of "clear," or describing
a potentially balmy summer evening as
moonlight and warmer.
But how is he on heat? Is his attitude
realistic? If it is, he's the weatherman,
we have been looking for these many
years. We've lived through some sum-
mer heat waves, but have never yet found
a weatherman who would make a fore
cast of "hot". The temperature may be
near 100, with worse to come tomorrow.
But the strongest statement we've ever
seen from weather bureau is "Fair and
continued warm"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-05-13

The parallel between the Germany OF
today and the Germany Of spring, 1918,
Is intriguing. Is Germany relatively
stronger or weaker than 20 years ago?
There Is one difference. Germany had
lIquidated the Eastern Front in 1917 and
had combined It's vast armies for final
drive In the West. Even the Allies were
fearful that Germany might succeed. But
1t developed that Germany was far more
war-worn than the Allies, and the kaIser's
hosts collapsed In the summer campaign
spearheaded by fresh American troops.
Germany today has not liquidated the
Eastern Front. The Russians, after con-
splcuous successes for more than year,
are regroupIng for what viii probably be
their most powerful attacks through Ga
