Avoid Election Apathy!,

Based on the premise that the majority political party represents the majority of community locale we should be keeny aware of the dangers of entertaining any apathetc attitude toward the forthcoming city eecuon Apathy is not intellectual but emotional and as such IS not conducive to community welfare.
 Granted the local Republican party leaders have made such fasco of their plans and now present to us ticker which, while comprised in general of sincere individuals the last minute choice of these eaders that the only ection we capture Is one of whimscaty noneheess we must remember that the votes are what give us govern ment The votes listed tabulated and counted up TOT Democratic victory in this instancel .
 Apathy is more dangerous to those we favor than to those not of our choice Its harm lies in the fact that over confidence based on the belief that the present admins, tration has little opposition in the Republican ticket VIII bring our house down about our heads EntnuslaS eort and determnaon are as essential now they were in the history of the party
 It's danger lies in the fact that local COP planners are counting strongly on that same apathy Counting on It's being factor in their favor And It Is In their tavor Democratic voters will be playing right into their hands they permit apathy to exist among themselves

(nrldgeport Pest)

N2AaA0NkSsb wv Hitler lost the war, and he had many more dlsappointments before he disappeared. Things went wrong for him in Q continuing procession long before the time came when 1t became apparent that the end was merely matter of days, or hours.
 But if he did get any satisfaction out Of the whole business, it surely must have come and must still Dc coming from the mess he made Of Europe. Today the Allies are faced with one major problem after on. other, aS they try to decide what can be done about the displaced persons whom Hitler scattered everywhere. Men, women and children arc in de- tention camps, or are still wander. ing over the fields and highways, trying desperately to exist until they can find some reasonably safe and secure haven.
 Millions have already been trans ported, or have made their way on foot, to the cities from which they were driven. But even in their re. spectlve homelAnds, they face eco. 1loEiic stagnation, dire food short. ages, lack of adequate clothing, and very doubtful shelter.
 Only positive and herculean efs forts will make more than the slightest dent In the problems which are now mounting with every day. Then, to add to the conplexity Of the situation, aS though food and shelter and clothing and medicines were not enough, there are political reporcuSsions which are certain to develop aS soon as the Allied pro. gram assumes c definite pattern.
 Some comFnendable steps have been and are being taken, and aS . result, many destitute people have been relieved of their major burdens and worries. But the prospect for tho approaching winter months Is still giving the Allied governments deep concern.

Selling Our Surplus Ships

American operators Of Shippng ines are o quote uHe of them 'shocked and aared at Reconverson Director sydes recommendations for dsposng of surplus govern rnentowned merchant ships Their concern seems jused
 In letter to Chairman Bailey of the Senate Commerce Committee Mr. Snyder asked that the pending ship sales bill be amended to allow foreign competitors equal op- portunty with American lines for purchases and tradelns He also asked that foreigners be permitted to charter American vessels.
 Mr. Snyder's motives are undoubtedly sound. He de- tends his proposals by saying we live in world m which own safety and prosperity are directly depena- countries and their economic progress as well as our own" -
 with Mr. Snyders program might be furthering foreign economic progress at some expense to ours For what appears to be equal opportunity for foreign ana ao ec purchasers is actually advantage to the former since operating costs of this countrys merchant marine are higher than those of any other
 Further our surplus of merchant ships Is more ap- parent than real Much of 1t Is in Liberty ships These small slow outdated vessels could not be operated profit ably by Americans In international competition and 1t IS unlikely that many other nations would want them.
 The question then would seem to be whether we wish oderntype ships which foreign purchasers with their low wage scales could operate more cheapy The answer 70 that might be different If had nonopoltzed prewar ae s the % ss as of s And only about 26 per cent Of our prewar foreign raoe was carried in American vessels.
 Our Maritime Commission does not want to mon- opose the transportation of world trade It does not want to compete for trade between foreign ports But U does feel that American ships should carry at least 30 per cent of American trade Among ths countyS cur enced merchant Seamen This means finding cargo:e;SS for American ships And neither jobs nor cargoeS will be Forthcoming foreign competitors can offer equally
 Tn addition to this there is the necessity of keeping an adequate merchant marine an important part Of our national defense The beginning of the recent war found be run again One way of avoiding 1t lies in giving our shippers first choice of what they and the country need

GUARDING AGAINST POLIO
(Hartgord TImes)


 Closing the schools In Simsbury, dranby and East Qrarby and bans ming public gatherings in the larg. or town are precautions that should cause no alarm in those or nearby communities. The fact that eight cases of infantile paralysis had de- Veloped in SimsbuFy Up to Monday, and that young people from 0ranby and East QFanby attend the Sims- bury High School, were sufficient cause for the action taken by the SimSbuiy health officer.
 Funds for research into the cause of infantile paralysis, and for treat- ment and rehabilitation Of victims of tho diseAae, are available in large amount. They are being devoted to the purposes for which the pup. lie gave them, but science as yet has not solved the problems pre-. gented by this disease, It has greats iy diminished the seriousness Of the inalady's effects, but that B not onough-how to prevent t, how to eradicate !t, gre the pressing probs lemS. Eventually they will Dc solved.
 Meantime parents should see to 1t that their children are adequately clothed for the cool weather that has come, and that the children are given nourishing meals. All the slmSbury cases started with what seemed to be colds, which cleared away but were followed by the usual symptoms of poliomyelitis. There IA no need for alarm. but there should be insistence by parents on guarding against colds, and, In gen. eraI seeing to 1t that their children keep away, for the present, from as- semblages in towns where the disease has been reported.
