Speaking of counties did you ever know that Waterbury was once in Hartford County? And after it was transferred to New Haven County there were sporadic attempts to set up separate county with Waterbury as the county-seat. This was really regular occurrence up until few years ago when counties started to lose faith as governmental divisions. Today the county is losing it's political signifi- canoe and assuming chiefly geograph- ical one.

THAT KIND OF ENEMY (NeW Britain Herald)

A number of Japs, sealed in the fortress of Corregidor, blew them- selves up rather than surrender And in Manila while American troops held the first story of hotel. the Japanese held the second story. On Two Jima additional Marines had to be sent ashore, and addi- tional equipment, in view ofthe ter rife defense set up by the enemy on the northern part of the island.
 That's the kind of enemy we are fighting, an enemy that may have inferior artillery, tanks and other weapons, but is not lacking in feroc- ity and courage. Where Japanese infantry has been met, the battle always has ben furious. It is no walkover for the Tanks and they would be the first to resent anyone's making the implication that they are fighting an "easy" enemy. They know he's a tough person and they want civilians on the home front to realize it and get down to the business of providing the essentials needed to win this war.

Stabilization Director Vinson has de- cided that prices and wages must be generally fair and equitable. Just what this may mean is not definitely clear, but leaders have hailed the Vinson approval as assurance of more pay for members of the labor unions. On the other hand, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States disapproves of Vinson's position, saying: Business generally regarded it as unrealistic and inflationary in effect" ,"

Waterbury is the most extensive city in Connecticut, according to records we've seen lately. At least it surpasses Bridge port, New Haven, and Hartford in terri torial coverage. Waterbury embraces about 29 square miles of valley terrain. The others are considerably less than that. All of which may explain in some part why different types of public service are apt to show higher percentage in Waterburys case than for some of these larger cities. And if Waterbury were to cover the ground today it did back in 1874, why we'd be a county all by our selves

SECRET WEAPONS

(NeW Haven JoCrnaI COurler)
 Even the civilian thousands of miles from this wars battlefronts has reacted nervously tt the train of scientific destruction that mans diabolical ingenuity has devised. Such hellish contrivances as the German V-1 and V-2 have left him wondering what was coming next.
 His apprehension may have been somewhat relieved If he read two re- cent dispatches from the American Seventh Army front. The first one had to do with the battle for a town called Neuf-Brisach.
 It seemed that a chap named Vauban had developed secret, un- expected defense for the Germans there. He didn't develop 1t espe- cially for the Wehrmacht. however, because he built 1t in 1899. And the idea was old stuff then. It consisted principally of wall and a moat with drawbridges.
 But 1t worked. One gathered from the story that 1t was bothering the

the world agree to trust in tEe cautious foreword that resemblance to any actual person, living or dead, is purely coinci- dental" And the authors of each coun- try might be allotted a quota of villains by nationality, maximum number each year.
 Then, perhaps, while we all work to achieve a kindly, cooperative and peace full world, we could be permitted the safety valve of vicarious villainy in the realm of believe without fear of international complications.

so YOUR TAKING SHOTS?

Injection of medicine under the skin (hypodermic, su b cutaneous) or. by plunging the syringe needle straight in to the hilt so that the liquid is injected into muscle-this is generally the simpler, less pain f full way or intravenous injection by inserting the needle into a vein Gas in taking blood for Wasser- mann test or taking blood from 8 donor) has some advantages and some disadvantages.
 Advantages of hypodermic ad- ministration are accuracy of dose, rapidity of action. ava liability (when for some reacon medicine cannot be given by mouth or is not retained by the patient) Disad- vantages of hypodermic adminis- tration arc comparatively unim- portant-the chance of infection due to ignorance or failure to apply aseptic technic just as though for an operation, the chance of injur- ing a nerve by injecting the medi- cine into 1t, and the remote chance of injecting the medicine directly into the blood in a wien, which would make no serious difference provided the injection is made slowly as 1t should be in every in- stance.
 On the other hand. quote from a personal communication from physician who does not entirely agree with my teachings about shots He writes:
 Dear Doctor:
 The writer wishes you would try giving vitamin B1 and some other vitamins hypodermically. You will be astonished at the prompt response and the satis- fled patient. Of course one does not have to charge more than $2 for an office hypol
 Cordially
 -, M. D.
 This same physician recently published in one of the best medi- cal journals an appeal to doctors to guard against creating needle shy patients by using rusty choked or too large needles. Needle points should be carefully inspected and dlWdJO hCDU I)s IAiC fiashlike jab, quick, painless-then give the injection slowly. . Pa- tients who say the injection does not hurt are more likely to stay with the doctor and send others. Hypodermic medication should be painless. The physician using this method gets better results, sees his patient as frequently as may be necessary and gets better co-opera- tion.
 That last observation is signifi- cant. If the doctor secs the patient frequently and the patient co-oper- ates better, the treatment is more likly to prove satisfactory, wheth- CT it consists of hypodermic injec-I tions or encouraging pats on thel proximal protuberance.
 There is a good deal of wisdonlI and professional sagacity in thel good doctors observation about this method of administration, although If I were the patient I'd prefer to take vitamin B-complex by mouth and I'd expect better results from 1t than I'd expect from any amount of vitamin B1 alone administered by injection. But then, l don't be- lieve there is anything mysterious about shots Do you?

Selected Poem
A TASTE OF SUMMER

A TASTE OF SUMMER Oansing Christman in The Christian Science
 Monitor Mother always moved part of summer Into the house before the winter came, And the corner with It's two large windows Facing to the south and the east, Was filled through all those weeks With plants and blooms and greens. There, warmed by the sun of morning, The cactus and geraniums and the ferns Grew strong and thrived; this was A flower garden through days of snow And wind, through zero nights. Mother Taught us how to keep taste of summer Through the months that sting with ice

 Brownell is expanding the party's research and publicity staffs, plans to add separate radio division, and to emulate the potent Political Action Com mittee by revitalizing the party organization a:l the way down to the dOOrbell-ringing level. One of BrOwnell's first orders was to buy several dozen copies of the PAC's official handbook, "The First ROund,' and have every Party official read it.
 Meanwhile, the Democrats are also swinging into action, paced by Chairman Bob Hannegan, who has developed stream lined program to see if he can increase the number of ROoSc- welt supporters in the House and Senate next year. The Democrats came out of the campaign with $4OO.OOO sur plus this time, and plan to raise more.
 Hannegan, together with Speak CT Rayburn and Democratic lead- CTS Mccormack of Massachusetts. Ramspeck of Georgia and Drewry of Virginia, have mapped a shrewd campaign to capture an- other 50 seats in the House. They plan to concentrate on the 57 districts where the Democrats lost by less than 12,OOO votes and have figured out that in p of these. the Democratic losing margin was less than 5000. Their hopes are high, but they are preparing for a tough fight.
