VETERANS IN COLLEGE

In one college at least, returning veterans nave
created less of problem Of veterans adjustment
than one of civilians adjustment.
RI. Lewis, veterans counselor at Colorado Stote
AGRICULTURAL College, reports that student veterans
oonerov ore determined to make the most Of their
educational opportunities. They are, ne soys s'uo'-
OILS and industrious and there ore tar fewer to''ures
among them than among the students with no m'''-
tory background.
It would be as sweepngly untrue to soy that every
RETURNING service man and is serious and am
bitios as il would be to soy that every one OF them
is neurotic But it stands to reason that many COL
Ieoe-ooe veterans are going to take decidedly ar
ferent view Of education.
Those who have seen service with the ormeo
forces have seen the value Of learning They have
seen the advancement that higher education and
specialized knowledge can bring And lot OF them
hove "oone TO school, in uniform, learning new
skiIIs and sciences in concentrated intensive courses
which touqht in weeks what college course m9n'
take months or years to import
A oreot mony Of the veterans in college have had
combat experience. And the toot that they nave
seen and foced death and escaped it may we'll be
an added incentive to them for exploiting their to'-
ents fully in the future years Of life which happily
have been spared them.
All men and women who have been in service
must know that they helped fight war that came
into beino because Of the beoty greed shor-s'gnt-
edness and stupidity Of on older generation. ne
more observont among them must know that o'er',
able and responsible minds are going to be neeoeo
to overt another such catastrophe in their lifetime.

LEO McCAREY, that delight
fully irreverent fellow respon-
sible for 1944's best and most
successful movie, Going My
Way" still doesn't believe in
talking pictures. He never has
believed in them.
I'm still making silents with
little dialog," he chuckles, "un-
til this thing blows over"
There was, if you want an
example, that scene in Going
My Way" in which Barry Fitz-
gerald, as the old priest, con-
graduates Bing Crosby on the
work he has done with his par
Ish.
In the script, Fitzgerald had a
three-page speech, Leo didn t
like it. Too many words. SO lie
sat down on the set and rewrote
the scene-in just l8 words.
The words were: "Im sure the
way to say what I'd like to say
will occur to me after you're
gone"
DULY 46, Leo McCarey has
been making or helping make
movies since 1913 when he quit
a reporters Job on Los Angeles
newspaper to become script
clerk. In 1887 he won an Acad-
envy award for his direction Of

He was afraid they would spoil

THEY MADE A DEAL
THERE'S an interesting story
behind Going My Way
Ten years ago Bling and Lee
made a deal to one day make
picture together. Leo said ne
would start looking for a story.
Every time they met during
those 10 years Bing would ask:
Have you got that story YETI"
Then early last year Leo got
his idea. He went to Bing's house
and outlined the story.
Bing said: That's it,"
Every time you see Leo, 1t
seems like, he's just had some
kind of an accident. He's al
ways on crutches, cane, or
wearing bandages somewhere.
Day he became engaged TO his
wife, Leo stepped into an open
elevator shaft and fell five
stories, broke only a leg and
shoulder.
Not long ago he started 10
make a running leap into his
swimming pool, tripped and
broke his ankle. He was in A
hospital for eight months after
ali automobile accident while
riding with author Gene Fowler.
He once showed a stunt girl
how TO slide down circus tent.

Africa Then comes the hard
luck story. Then the loan on the
strength of being alumni from
the same fighting outfit. And
then the fast fade-out.
Some Of the swindles have
more frills. A glib-tongued real
estate man on the West Coast
discovered four sailors who had
just been discharged and were
looking for farm to buy. The
slickcr said he had just the
thing and showed them photos
Of the land, with lush vegetation
and fine crops. The boys paid a
fat deposit and signed the agree
ment. But when they journeyed
out to the scene of their farm
ing venture they were shocked
20 find they had put deposit on
a fine tract of solid rock that
wouldn't even produce a decent
crop Of moss. They could see
the good farm land of the
photos but the pictures had been
taken from their land and not
of it.
Not by any means new as a
swindling device, but growing in
favor with crooks who are af-
ter the veterans money is the
simple crap" game or poker
game. Used to games that were
strictly on the level when they
were in uniform, most of the
boys feel that they are more than
proficient at the art of rolling

w. Dan Bell, executive direc-
tor of the National Association
OF Better Business Bureaus, re-
rors that one Of the fastest grow
ing swindles is the advance
fee" A business proposition is
described to a veteran in glow
ing terms. He is sold on the
idea. But the swindler explains
that he has to have certain
sum of money in advance to
sew up the deal or as some kind
of deposit. After it is paid, the
swindler vanishes.
A variation reported by Mr..
Bell is the "home work" schemes
to prey on the handicapped and
siling veteran who is bcd-ridden
or can't go out. These schemes
might be growing mushrooms in
the basement, writing songs or
decorating greeting cards. Joker

Another one is the "inven-

 15,000 Spectators
 ThilIed by Stunts

Waterbury airport at Mt. Tope was the scene of one Of the great. est aerial exhibitions of state record Saturday afternoon, when more than fifteen thousand people were thrilled by series of flying tricks and plane handling for hours. Most of those present came by automo- bile. truck and motorcycle, with several thousand cars streaming up and down the. Greystone road to and from the airfield all afternoon
 Formation flying by pilots of three PTl9's, stunts by a pilot of Waco trainer plane, especially built for stunt flying, and parachute Jump by Sgt. Frank Nocera of Bristol, a war-veteran paratrooper with 26 jumps to his credit in Italy, France and Germany featured the show. Hundreds of people could not get near the field to see the show which was given by Savard's Sky Circus sponsored by the operators Of the airport, MT. and Mrs. Marshall A- lenben. Gus Graf, well-known Wa terbury flyer, performed in an inter- state cadet plane.
 Several different postwar plane models were on display throughout the day, with scores of people un- able to get rides, because of an i1- sufficient number of pilots, but theil tickets for rides will be honored al any time.

Republican. To Q definite degree COP leaders are assured of cer-' tain amount of votes simply because they know their primary list some what like you know your bankbook. With or without issues they can make certain of a great deal of that primary list showing tip at the polls in the more realistic form of live voters. In addition they do not I1e- 'cessarily rely upon district workers to stir and prompt these same votes
 The Democrats with a well organ ized machine are required none-the- less to spark their district workers urging the latter to make the house toulouse and telephone calls and make certain of getting the primary list to the polls. The dif- ference between the two parties lies in the little known political method of what might be termed creation of primary lists by selection. The COP adheres to the selective method while the Democrats well come all and sundry into the party depending upon faithful and hard- working district leaders to mairl- tain a Democratic spirit among the Iistees at election time.
 Overall Apathy
 The apathy mentioned does not however, seem confined to Water. bury alone. Recent statistics revea less new voters being signed tc primary lists in cities like Bridge l port, Hartford, New Haven and New York. AS mentioned here many times 1t is possible 1t has come about as 8 somewhat "global hangover from world events wherein people now are trying to readjust them selves to the more casual bu nonetheless important thinking along provincial lines such as a cit! election. The general public has come t' think in terms of price levels wages. imitation as the issues witl the direct bearing upon their lives Such issues as city budgets, pip lines and what have you seerningc lack enough imaginative qualitie to appeal at least on an equal basi with the more national concerns.
 Election Near
 Election is less than two week away and should, by this time, b a matter of topical interest to tn majority of the city's adults. Ye the man-on-the-street and tn housewife seem to be having bu casual thought to its coming.
 It could be that the issues are s defined in the minds of the major ity that little enthusiasm or conJec ture is required for MT. Citizen [ make up his mind how he will vott It is only hoped by civic and politi cal interests that he will vote.

 It is difficult to determine, ct this time, whether the voting public of waterbury has reached Q stage of sincere interest in the fortncom- Ing city election or whether what interest is being evinceu by every- day conversation is not based more upon a vague sense of civic duty which stirs and comes to life around election time.
 An election without "hot" issues such as the current one (to datel makes for a somewhat dull and url- exciting atmosphere. It also con- Tributes a certain Whats 1t all about?" attitude among average MT. John o. Citizen.
 Little Interest
 Any spirited conversations to pc found are centered among old-thne political on-lookers and observers who are shaking their heads over the current apathy, saddened Dy the memories of years Of the not too far past when 85 percent of the city's electorate went to the polls; and families contested the merits of candidates and parties over the supper tables. Interest of an obliqle and necessarily so nnercenary merit is to be found also among the spec | ulators and confirmed gamblers who already are giving and taking odds on majorities and total votes.
 There isn't to be found without diligent search the intense interest of years gone by when Sacuroay night get-togethers in Waterbury homes were generally consumed by spirited observations and opinions as to the forthcoming elective event Freouenters of our down.town cof- fee bistroS these days are more apl to be discussing the atomic pomn military training, dennobilization ol | recent football score than Wna' are the chances of Raymond Sny- der COP mayoralty candidate anc his ticket or how much or Q tova vote is necessary for Mayor John s Monagan and his ticket before they are really assured of a victory.
