business. That's good project for
our development associations and
chambers of commerce to take up
next spring, if not sooner.
The honeymoon is apparently
over-judging from the tone of
much comment in the nations press
of the past 10 days. Unless a change
takes place, the movement will be
in the direction of the divorce court,
with a session of that court held in
l948.
After several months of generous
commentator, President Truman
is now being severely criticized. We
feel some of it is fully justified. 1t
is unfortunate, to say the least, that
the President has done some of the
things that he has. The nation ex-
poets dignity and unquestioned NOR
al standards in its presidents. 1t
is not exalting to see the head of
this great nation engaging openly IN
poker games, in joining with the
boys" in session with the gallop-
ing dice. in free drinking and SINH
lar escapades. While everyone
knows that all these practices are
common among many men, we do
not expect the President to set
quite that sort of an example before
the young people of the nation. An
other criticism is that in times that
call for the greatest craftsmanship,
President Truman has surrounded
himself, not by the ablest men. it
was possible for him to obtain but
instead, his appointments have been
political friends with apparently the
only thought in mind one of
Strengthening the party
It is early to criticize. But as this
column has said frequently, there is
urgent need for outstanding states
manship today. We need a truly
great man in the White House
great in craftsmanship. great in
leadership. Will President Truman
measure up to his opportunities?

" Suggestion For
Improving Our
Own Communities
By\Charles ID. Rowe

If communities are to improve,
there must be\planning and a great
amount of work. Because this is
true we were gratified to read re-
Gently in this newspaper that Troy
had organized the Troy Develop
ment Association and that the mer
of the Tobacco Valley had formed
similar organization at Eureka. Ir
line with this same trend, one note.

Chamber of Commerce
There is much valuable> work thai
should and can be done by each Of
these organizations if their respec.
tive communities are to hold theil
proper places in the march of prog
ress. The nation is on its way back
to normal following the war. For.
ward looking citizens should nov
be doing everything possible to bet.
ter living conditions in their com.
munities, as well as to develop the
natural resources contiguous to them
and thereby provide more pros
perity and better standard of liv-
ing for their citizens.
Here is suggestion.
All of us expect extensive tourist
travel through this favored distric,
in coming months. Our outstanding
scenic beauties will draw thousands
of people here. Will these travellers
find neat and attractive towns fully
in line with the natural beauties OF
the district? Or will they be re-
PEELED by rundown and rag-and-
tag appearances Of the commun-
tiles through which they pass?
It would not be too difficult for
all of us to make desirable inn
provements. Our towns are just
moving out of the pioneer stage.
Some of the pioneer buildings are
still standing. Many of them are
nothing more nor less than shacks.
In their present condition, they are
a terrible eyesore. All such should
be torn down if no longer in use.
Furthermore. it beats all what a
little paint will do. A building that
hasn't been painted in years shines
with new beauty and looks worlds
better after couple coats of
paint. The generous use of paint as
a common practice in a community
makes all the difference in the
world in that towns appearance and
the impression it makes on travel
ers. And how much more pleasant
such city is as d place Of ones
abode
So lets do what we can to make
our home towns the equal in beauty
to their natural settings. Let's tear
down the old, unused pioneer shacks
and paint our homes and places of

seeks loan under the provisions of the CT Bill, Captain Hogan said;
 Bars 90 Per Cent
 "The original law had IT lines on home, farm and business loans. The Veterans Administration then put out 20 pages if regulations on home loans alone that completely emaSculated the law. It was ef- fectiveIy bars at least 90 per cent of the veterans from securing . loan.
 "The American public has come to believe that any man who had been in uniform could secure a loan if he wanted it, but if he can pass all the Veterans Administra" ton regulations he could qualify whether he'd ever worn uniform or not"
 Captain Hogan pointed out that many disabled veterans who are entitled to vocational training un" der Public Law 16 are being guided into the CT Bill of Rights training provisions.
 Under the Public Law 16," he said, "a disabled veteran gets $Sz month while in training; under the CT Bill he gets $50"
