Anti.Sennitisrn
Ineradicable

London (JPS) - 81 firmly be-
lieve that for years and years
this Germany will be the most
anti-Semitic country in the
world" a Jewish soldier, stationed
with the British Army in Ger
many, declares in a letter printed
in the Jewish Chronicle here. The
lifting of the determination ban
has shown "how deeply rooted is
the Nazi disease, even in the bet
ter types" the soldier writes.
'It will be simpler to re-edu-
cate the children. But as far as
the Jewish question is concerned
whatever the children are taught,
back in the home they will get
the Nazi perversion of the truth /.
It is more or less impossible to
destroy what is in the minds of
a whole generation, especially in
the case Of Germans of ten and
twenty five The average
Germans have been made to be-
lieve that we (Jews) are not, and
do not even look human" the
soldier writes.

Venerable Pastor

Tuesday of this week marked a special occasion in the nearby borough of Nau- gatuck. It was not one of tumult or wild celebration. But there was rejoic- ing in the hearts of men; there were ex- preSsions of congratulation, verbally expressed some, others wished but not heard. February 9th was the 85th birth day of Right Rev. John J. Fitzgerald, pastor of St. Francis Church, Naugatuck, and this distinguished churchman was recipient of the best wishes of his parish toners, his fellow townsmen, and personal friends scattered throughout the state where MonSignor Fitzgerald has labored long and zealously in the vineyards of the Lord.
 Monsignor Fitzgerald will celebrate the 59th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood in June. The last 21 years of that career have been spent in Nauga- tuck where he has managed well the di- verse duties of large parish, at the same time spreading the word of God among his children. The Almighty in his infinite wisdom has been good to Monsignor Fitzgerald. In turn he has reciprocated by giving his best in a priestly devotion. Waterbury joins with her borough neighbor to the south in conveying the best of best wishes to the venerable pastor on attainment of his 85th birthday. May he continue to walk with God.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-02-09
Spreading the Net

The stage is being set to put the gov ernment into the telephone business Wlth an appropriation of $10O,OOOOOO, after the pattern of Rural Electrificatlon Administration. Public officials are at tacking the telephone industry, including thousands of small independent com panies, for alleged failure to sufficiently increase the number of rural telephones. In nation that has more telephones than all the rest of the world put together, it seems bit ridiculous to start blackening the industry that made this record.
 It would be interesting to know whether any of the gentlemen fostering this fur- ther step toward socialism, lives on farm and has tried to get a telephone during the last several years. If he has, he knows that he could not get phone because of the various war restrictions ne knows that he couldn't buy telephone wire, and he couldn't buy telephone. He knows that the local telephone companies are prohibited from allowing him any material or making connection for hlm unless he happens to be a government official, or doing certain war work.
 Given the material, there is no doubt that thousands of farm telephones would be installed within short time Wlthout any hundred million dollar approprl- ation of taxpayers funds. Just how ln- stallation of telephones with public funds would be any less damaging to the war effort than private installation, is not made clear. But, as Francis X. Welch, writing from Washington, says: "At least we have right to expect that responsible Federal agencies should present the pic ture fairly with all relevant facts in the true perspective. If that is done, the tele- phone industry will surely not shrink from it's responsibility, whatever that may be in the future"
