"BM" Haggerty
Late Patrolman Remembered as Efficient Officer Who Interpreted the Spirit of the Law Rarely Made Arrest, but Commanded
 Respect for Authority - Had
 Confidence of Superiors

day talk, a careful and thought full speaker, mindful at all times of the frailties of man, and there fore unwilling to criticise in case Of error or mistake.
 He never believed in the policy of arrest, if the parties involved were able to adjudicate their troubles on the spot. A police of- ficer, you know, has giant powers, and much is left to his own per sonal judgment in many in- stances. Bill Haggerty exercised this grant, upon many occasions. to the satisfaction of all parties concerned as we'll as to his su- periors.
 Waterbury's police, as a rule, follow this line of reasoning. Tn all parts of the state and throughout New England. they are recognized for their kindness and even temperament. in the most trying of cases. Look at our traffic police; where is there more consoling lot than Lieut.. Joe McEvay, and the men who work under him. Letters of praise for their gentlemanly conduct have been received by the Super intendent from all parts of the country, and read before the Commissioners.
 Men like Bill Haggerty, the traffic police, and the different patrols, as we'll as the officers. constitute what all of us must be- l1eve to be one of the best de- partments of its kind in the country. We liked Bill Haggerty; we like all of his fellow police officers. We admire them for the good they are to the city. and what their personal membership Is ln proper representation. Home owners, practically all of them, family men, fine living indivi- duals, that is what they are, and why then. should there be any disposition on the part of any of us to criticise. The policemen and flremen of our city posses the right to live and mingle with the rest of Waterbury. Substantial and reliable citizens that they are, they ask little. as the record Of both departments will prove.
 Bill Haggerty travelled his post daily, just like all other cops. He was on patrol in case of need, his services might not be neces- sary for the time being, but nevertheless he was there, around, and walking back and forth in the interest of public safety and protection for the city similar to the fireman on duty at his re- spective station. all provided for the betterment of mankind in general.
 Some times police and firemen lack the support of certain people, due to various circum- stances, but we feel it is almost the unanimous opinion of the public, the two departments form an exceptional safety outfit, and that the personnel of each force has thousands of admirers and friends among those who com- prise the population of our fair city.
 May the memory of Bill Hag- gerty's life as policeman re- main us for many years to come.

 One can never know about the Japanese" Jodl admitted.
 Another of the conferees, identi- fled as a General Christian, was asked what information he had ob- tained on Japanese armored strength from It. Gen. Hiroshi Oshima, Tokyo's ambassador to Germany.
 "Oshima also isn't informed by his people" Christian said. They reported just as little (to Oshima) about their tanks as about their airplanes."
 They also said nothing about ships, and suddenly they appeared with the heaviest ships in the world interrupted Hitler. They said nothing about aircraft carriers, and suddenly it developed they had the most carriers.
 'NonetheleSs, after the war they can also embalm their big warships, for then everything will be done with airplanes. Also over there Gin the United States) everything cen ters on airplanes."
 Jodl chimed in to say that the Japanese fleet already had taken "a couple of lickings" from Ameri- can airplanes-at Midway and in the South Pacific.
 Nobody dares venture out now with big warships," Hitler agreed. What could be unpleasant now for the Japanese would be if they didn't gain control of Russia's Far East ern territory soon enough to pre- vent American submarines from passing there.
 But I'm fully convinced the Japa- nese are building up their bases fully before they begin. They prob ably won't undertake any naval op- erations there (presumably in So- viet Far Eastern waters) but will first establish a blockade"
 Anyway" Hitler concluded, tits guaranteed We won't learn about that"

Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JAMES J. SULLIVAN

Hostilities between employers and employees are beginning to reach fever pitch once again. Fear of un- employment is, probably, the chief reason for the uneasiness. AS war contracts dwindle, work slackens, and those who stay on fear drastic wage-cuts. The millions who went to work with the outbreak of war are pondering the question of where they shall work after the war. Thou sands are leaving war-work for other employment, planning to be in on peace time job when war work ceases altogether.
 Intelligent planning, carried out by labor, employer and gov ernment should cushion the shock that peace will bring to the economic structure of the country. The potential of America is un- measured. The needs of the na- tion for every type of peace time commodity are tremendous. And certainly the foreign market is almost unfathomable. The prob lem of reconversion can be settled if the same ;1telligence and CO., operation are applied that con- verted our industry to the "arsen- al of democracy

By THE OUT EASTER

We feel sad and somewhat lonely every time we read of the death of a policeman or fireman. We felt that way this week when it was announced that William J. Haggerty, of 27 Cherry street, of the police department, had been stricken at the City Stadium, and died on the spot.
 Bill Haggerty was a big man, heavy man, but not so he wasn't active. His latest beat or patrol was around the State The ater from early in the morning until Il a. m., a post of honor that meant much activity in the trying of doors, and watchfulness against providers of all kind. Con- scientious, paintaking, alert to every kind of police duty, he shirked nothing. Cold or hct weather never seemed to bother him and he made his rounds just as deligently in bad weather as he did when the elements were clear. and the walking good. As a relief man on traffic, Bill, made frineds by the smile he carried every time he directed car driv- CTS either at Phoenix avenue or at the corner Of East Main and Spring streets.

 And so the Commies are back. They can begin to get down to bus mess, now, and not be disturbed by having to flip this way and flop that way as the strings are pulled. They know what they are after.

Remember the wave of strikes throughout French industry imme- diately prior to the war? Certainly this, above all else, contributed to the paralysis of France and her complete defeat.

What Is Labor?

There can be little hope for smoothly running economic system under private enterprise until there is some real understanding of what work is. Since the rise of the in- dustrial era work has been on the market as commodity to be bought and sold, and the only standard is money Too many employers have made it their policy to get as much put of the worker as possible, giving himsin return as low a wage as the 'upply of labor permitted It was more profitable at one time to im- port workers from Europe and the Far East than to give living wage to the labor market at hand. Too many labor leaders now, on the other hand. are using these tactics in reverse. Get as much money as possible, with as little work as pos sible.' Both sides are reducing labor 10 a mere physical force - like elec- tric power.

The days of the guilds are gone. During those dark ages the work CT held a position of dignity be- cause by his labor he contributed
 necessary skill to the community. One may have been a boot maker
 because ones father was boot
 maker; but there was a tradition of good work and pride in the profession. The boot maker strove to make the best possible boot, be- cause of that pride; and he knew, too, the community would toler- ate nothing worse than his best. This was the day when things were produced for use, rather than for profit.
 In our day, however, little is pro- jGced primarily for use. In this age of light the slogans run thus: Bus iness is business. Your dollar is your best friend. Nothing for mo- thing. The dollar standard has de- graded the idea of labor, as it has degraded so much else In place of diligence and competent workman ship we find, too often, the ideal of leisure and loafing. When the vision of mans destiny grows dim. it be- comes the fashion to loaf.
