Republican Sickness, First Thought To Be Sleeping, Finally Diagnosed
 As Democratic Plurality

Republican Sickness, First Thought To Be Sleeping, Finally Diagnosed
 As Democratic Plurality
 Editor of The Democrat:
 The Republican party for the past 24 years has been seriously III, With a sickness diagnosed as Democratic plurality. A sickness attributed to the incompetence of the dictators of the party, sometimes called leaders. who assume they own the party and have indicated by their actions that they really do. Only for a short time during the past 24 years has the party rallied for the better, and that was when the leaders were forced to call in pr. Patsy Perriello, who prescribed the proper medicine with one exception, when he was forced to prescribe a capsule called the Poster cure, by the leaders, put that didn't work out so good.
 Patsy swallowed this capsule him. self with great reluctance, and showed his dislike 50 much that the leaders Soured on Patsy. Some peo. pie say they didn't like the way Patsy went high hat; anyway they fired him, and the party lapsed back into the same sickness, Democratic plurality. Two years later they called pr. Patsy in again, but he ap. parently lost the formula for . permanent cure, therefore the party has been ailing ever since.
 This year the leaders really showed their incompetence, by their actions in trying to line up c group of doctors to save the poor ailing party They begged, coaxed, and implored c number of political n1ed- les, to take the case, and finally after e last.ininute struggle lined up group headed by an undertaken. I suppose to be prepared should this Democratic plurality be so bad that 1t will kill the party. It Is most proper In case of death, to call in an undertaken, but is 1t proper on the part of the leaders, to concede that the party is 30 sick from Detn' ocratic Plurality, that t will die7
 On the other hand maybe they ex. pect that some of these new political doctors, will have the right i11edi- cine. Some of them are pretty good, take genial Jim Mcdrath, who proved in the past that he has good medicine. Jim will help, but l be. lieve he has about as much use for the leaders as thousands of other Republicans, and only took the case because he feels that the party should not die without some atten- ton.
 Then there b John F1annigai1 who was called in, but didn't know 1t until one of his friends told him, John is q good insurance man and realizes Dr. Calo's friends will use some of his sharp instruments to cut him short. Henry Barry will be in there working hard but Henry realizes that pr. Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport prescribed for patients about Se times before he was sue. cessful.

DOWN IN CENTRAL PARK
(New Britain Heraid)

(New Britain Herald
 one of the musical stage hits in New York is titled Up In Central Park. Change one word and you have Down in Central Park which could be applied to New Bri. tain. True, our park lacks large acreage, but 1t has the right name, And we make use of it in divers ways that benefit the community, more or less.
 For instance, just now we have . long bill board = put Up in c good cause .- on the eastern flank of the park; and also our temporary memorial for World War II veter. ans, with specially built stone path- ways leading up to 1t for tho cere. monies next Sunday. Tn the back ground stands the Civil War inonu. inent--afld so, oil in all, c quite well populated piece Of hallowed ground.
 We shouldn't go too for with those signs on the park, however, even In good causes. When !t gets to the point where the base Of the monument cannot Do seen for signs, then it's going too far. That point has almost been reached.

Blowup In Germany

Plans of Allied military government officials in Ger many to blow up the three G. Farben munitions plants in the American occupation zone sound like good sense.
 The most important part of the plan to prevent Ger many from launching another war the prevention Of i- strialization that be used for war in any way The best way to deal with plants that can be used for nothing but war materials Is to destroy them.

PuIpwood Plants Must Beat
All Records 10 Meet Quota

Lut ASSOCldIeQ fEesk.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The War
Activities Committee Of the pulp
wood consuming industries said
yesterday more pulpwood would
have to be produced in the last six
months of this year than ever
before in such a period If the WIPE
quota of 100000 cords for the year
is met.
The committee said $3.50, 200 cords
of domestically produced pulpwood
must be delivered to mills in the
final half of the year to offset the
production lag that occurred in the
first half. This is 10 per cent more
than was produced in the final half
of 1914 and 13 per cent greater than
the four-year average.
Inventories of pulpwood at United
States mills have declined about 1S
per cent, compared with a year ago,
the committee said, adding that
these alarming inventory declines
were due to heavily increased mill
tary requirements to carry on the
Pacific war and inadequate domestic
production.
The committee said failure to
meet production quotas was due to
a constant drain of manpower in
pulpwood areas, transportation
shortages, bad weather and labor
difficulties

soap actually was salvaged inedible
grease derived from cheese rinds
and cheescloth wrappings. according
to the Office of Price Administrator.
In a statement last night, the
OPA declared that "a further inves-
tigation confirms OPA's statement
of July 81 that reports of sales of
rancid butter for use in soap max
ing were unfounded"
Proctor & Gamble said early this
week that it had made 135, 1000
pounds of soap from 10000 pounds
of rancid butter.
Freight bills in the transaction
