 Pfc. Danny B. Marshall, of Hol- denville, Okla, and the 45th Di- vision, 7th Army, has been wounded eight times and when asked about it by war correspondents said sim ply that as the Italian and French campaigns progressed from time to time l was hit"
 The austere precision of this sure ly must indicate a healthy mind No complexes show up here. no de- lusions of persecution, no suspicious of pursuit by a malignant fate, no shadow of destructive self-pity; he was in a place where people were being hit, so what more natural than that from time to time he was hit? To him the strange thing is that he survives, and all he can say in explanation of that is, I'm just lucky"
 Pfc. Danny B. Marshall is, in deed, lucky. but not solely because he happens to be made of durable material, physically. This man will never belong to any Lost Genera tion. The slings and arrows of out rageous fortune" may kill, but they cannot perturb him; and the high heart that has sustained him-and many thousands like Mm--is and always will be the greatest of luck. not for the Marshalls only. but al- 50 for the country whose uniform they wear.

Fruit growers all over the state are concerned over the status of the weather They don't like the early summer weather. In fact they are quite concerned about it.. Buds are far advanced for the end of March. Any heavy frost during early April would raise havoc with this years fruit crop. A few days ago we commented on the dangers of early planting. There are still lot of people who think they are going to beat the gun this year You can't do it. Seasons come and go, but Mother Nature is pretty constant. This can be an exceptional growing season and we certainly hope it is. But be prepared for colder weather than we have had

The Highwayman

Perhaps 1t would be a good idea if ration authorities maintained the gaSo- line restrictions for about two to three years after the war so that we all will remain at home while the postwar super highways are being constructed Person. ally we haven't the courage now to visual ize what our city streets and state high ways are going to look like once the go- ahead signal is given to get underway the tremendous road building program.
 We got to thinking of his driving around some city streets recently on bus ineSs and visions of torn Up streets, de- tours and bumpy thoroughfares gave us the creepS. We don't dare think of state highways, at all, with their long cross cowpath detours, exhaust fumes and the, creeping pace of those cars ahead of us on hot sultry day.
 And don't think for one minute that it won't be like that. Right now there are an awful lot of frustrated street repairers who are working as rivterS or at other emergency wartime occupations and once the shovels and picks are handed back to those lads, once the engineers dust off the blue prints it's going to look like the rush for squatters rights in Oklahoma. Can you imagine those roads the first few months while these wartime restrained artisans give vent to their pent up desires and passions of the past four years? We hope we don't have to go beyond the neighborhood store for the first couple of years.
 Give an engineer the go-ahead sign substantiated by plenty of money and he starts digging like they were satisfying all their childhood ambitions to reach China by way of going down. Having surveyed some of the foXholes and craters already formed here we dread to think of that which is to come.

studying the problem of returned veterans. He decided the State couldn't attract its returned vet erans unless 1t had something to offer them in the way of indus trial opportunity, and that the State couldn't industrialize as long as freight rates were against it.
 Tn winning his decision be- fore the Supreme Court this week. Arnall actually has won victory for all the other States and for free competition throughout the nation. Hither- to, the Army and the Navy were trying to prevent prOsecu- tiOn of the Antitrust Act. For instance, when the Justice Department circulated it's pro- posed case against Readers Di- gest to the Army and Navy, the Navy came back and wanted to know all the details.
 For some obscure and unex- plained reason, the admirals seemed to fear that suit against Readers Digest. which obviously has nothing whatsoever to do with the battlefronts, might in terfere with the war. In the end, however. they let the Justice De- partment proceed. But in other cases they have not.
 Now, however, regardless of the Army and Navy, the Supreme Court has ruled that any state which is discriminated against as a result of monopoly can step in over the head of the Federal Government and be heard -- all thanks to the fighting little BE- year-old Governor of Georgia.

Hartford isn't shaking the dust of the circus from it's feet, but is turning it under-literally The circus lots have been turned over to victory gardeners and already the work of blowing them has started This would more or less indicate that Hartford officials don't ex- pect the circus to visit that city this sea- son. AS a matter of fact it's doubtful if the circus will get to any Connecticut city. There is apt to be no circus after it's current New York engagement, which is pity, what with the corporation obi- gated for so many damage claims.

Regrets Expressed

Republican officials at Hartford are quoted as expressing regret that the House could not muster enough votes Wednesday to insure passage of the con- Stitutional proposal on quadrennial vot- ing. A two-thirds vote was required for passage It failed by one solitary vote. That's the end of the recommendation that in Connecticut, terms of office for state officials be four years with the elections themselves taking place during the off-years and not presidential election years.
 That has been the hub of this proposal elections in the off-years. Republicans have steadfastly maintained that Demo- cratic successes in Connecticut during the last decade and a half have been chiefly the result of Roosevelt influence on the voting public. Democrats haven't denied this too loudly, but they have in- sisted that there be no change in the off year elections. AS consequence both parties have been charging the other with politics with regard to the pro- posed change.
 And both seem to be more or less cor rect. Republicans want the change be- cause they have suffered political losses in Connecticut to which they aren't yet accustomed. Democrats feel that they have acquired political strength and po- sition by virtue of the existing arrange ment. One wonders what is going to be the outcome after the Rooseveltian in- fluence has ended. Has it ever occurred to the Republicans that all good things eventually come to an end and that they might want two-year terms and off-year elections four years from now?

 The remark that the Health De- 1 partment has rules against pres- cnce of the husband ois just a little bolder effort to deceive than the bombast about being on the staff ef the best hospitals.
 The veterinarys suggestion that men are frail and that husbanda like to see their wives at their best I'm afraid there is more truth in that although the vet flatters such husbands by calling them men.

 This weeks case, that of
 Georgia vs. the railroads was largely a tribute to one man,
 Governor Ellis ArnaIl of GeOr- gia, who is fast becoming the SOuth's greatest leader since the
 Civil War. Arnall conceived the case and came to Washing ton to argue 1t personally before
 the Supreme Court.
 His victory this week means several things. Prom now on. when one ol the AS states suf- fers because of monopoly, it can come to the U. s. Supreme Court direct without waiting to climb up through the District and Ap- pealS Courts. Perhaps even more important, it means that neither the Army nor the Navy nor che President can stop enforcement of the sherman Antitrust Act if one of the 48 states wants to ap- peal over their heads to the Su- preme Court.
 For years the South has been beefing about freight rates fixed by Wall Street bankers and the railroads they control, which dis criminated against the South. For years the South has been claim ing 1t could not industrialize as long as it had to pay rates on what it manufactured higher than the East and Midwest. For years the Conference of Southeast Gov ernors and various U. s. sena- tors have made this their chicI campaign slogan.
 But fina::y an unassuming little man from George cuthfffii little man from Georgia cut right to the heart of the whole matter, and without any player or pOliticking took the case to the Supreme Court-and won it. ARNALL ABOLISHES POLL TAX

 But we foolish humans often call culate without God. We leave en- tirely out of consideration the one great Factor which changes every thing. We forget that behind the veil stands the Creator and Sus- tainer of the universe and that although He may apear at times to be conquered, He really never is. Wicked men thought they had con- quered God when they put Christ on the cross. What they had really done was to kill their own souls They thought they had disposed of this young rebel from Nazareth. Les sthan thirty-six hours later they had to confront the fact that the Man they had murdered had risen from the dead supported by the whole host of heaven.
 Through the centuries He has exerted more influence than He did at any time during His earthly mln- istry. The resurrection was Gods vindication of the career of the per- feet Man. It was the triumph of | life over death. It was the glori- fcation of the Son of man to be the eternal King of heaven and earth. All Rights Reserved Babgon Newspaper Syndicate

few years ago Waterbury had ideas about selling all the trolley rails embed ded in the streets. But it never was proved that we could sell them for as much as it would cost us to dig them out of the concrete. Well, down in New Haven officials just sold a lot of rails for $3,O64, which was $62O less than it cost the city to dig them up. All of which sort of shows that Waterbury officials were rather wise.
