BARN FIRES HIT CLINTON

FIRES HIT CLINTON
CLINTON, July 10. Three
barns were burned in this
vicinity recently - A new
barn on the farm of M. E.
Boney, route 2, was burned
Tuesday. 1t was the first time
the barn had been used. Mos
settle Faircloth Of the Concord
section lost his barn Monday
night. The tobacco barn was
filled with tobacco and both
the contents and barn was a
complete loss. The loss was
partially covered with insur-
ance. The Clinton fire depart
ment was called out at 1918
Tuesday morning when a to-
bacco barn belonging to Early
Adams, on the northern out
skirts caught on fire. The
quick work of the firemen
prevented much damage.

Continuing Progress

What makes a railway Physically,
it consists of the land over which the
steel rails extend, freight and passenger
cars, locomotives, stations, yards, shops,
stores, Office buildings and large, skilled
corps of men and women.
There is another ingredient, without
which the physical plant of railway
would be as inefficient and unproductive
as an automobile or tractor without
steering gear. 1t is policy-n7anase-
111ent's established plan for the con-
duct of the railways operations and
services.
Great Northern Railways policy is
older than its line from Lake Superior to
Puget Sound. The policy of continuing
progress and consistent adherence to
it have earned for Great Northern world
wide recognition as leader in railway
transportation.
Within short time, the people who
work and live along Great Northern will
see and hear about the newest product
of the railways program for the continu.
ing progress of its services. A feet of
new Empire Builders soon will be
running between Chicago and the
Pacific Northwest.
Even during the war, while helping to
perform the greatest transportation lob
in history, Great Northern stuck to policy
and ordered the new Empire Builders.
The sleek, diesel-powered streaml;ners
will be the first, new transcontinental
sleeping car and coach trains of the post
war period. They also will be first to
establish daily; 45-hour service over the
northern route from Seattle and Port
land to Chicago.
Browning chief., 1946-12-20

45-hour schedule for 2,2l4-n1ils
run, which involves CROSSING two
mayor mountain ranges at safe, COM
Portable speeds, will not permit stops
atn1any stationson Great Northern's
main lines. Towns the strean1Iiner
must "hiehbaH' ir, order to make
thar schedule will be afforded tho
services of other fine trains. These
supporting services will be main
fained as long as public patronafe
Justifes their operation.
Additional improvements in passenger
services are in Great Northern's lo47
program. Nearing construction are three
smaller, modern, diesel drawn trains.
One-the Red River Limited-will be
operated on daily, rcund-trip schedule
between St. Paul and Grand Forks, ND.
Two othe-s-the Puget Sounders-will
provide faster daily service between
Seattle and Vancouver, B. c.
The cornpany's policy is responsible
tor the many improvements in the rail-
ways freight services in the past several
years. Largely because of shortages of
serviceable equipment, plus lack of ma
terials for repairing and construction of
cars, freight service does not now always
measure up to Great Northern standards.
But, these war-born obstacles, which are
confronting almost every American in
dustry and business, eventually will
be surmounted.
Continuing progress in providing trans
portation services to and from its terri.
tory, and the fullest possible encourage
ment for the development and welfare
OF that territory arc basic elements of
Great Northerns policy.

Monogon Again Linked With Reports Chief Executive
 Being Sought for
 State Honors

Reports that Mayor John $. Monagan has been definitely ap- preached t0 run for Attorney Gen eral on the Democratic state ticket were circulating freely in local po- litical circles today.
 The reports tie in with recent de- velopmentS in the Democratic state picture, which indicate that party leaders now favor the nomination of Chester BowleS for Governor and which have apparently placed Wa terbury on the side of the Bowles candidacy. They would also link with the action of the Republican state leadership in rejecting the bid of Congressman Joseph E. Talbot of Naugatuck for the gubernatorial nomination, since dopesters figure that Waterbury Democratic can- didate now will gather many votes that otherwise would have gone to MT. Talbot.
 Last month, The Democrat dis closed that Mayor Monagan was under consideration by party lead CTS as a possible nominee for At torney General or Lieutenant- -Gov- ernor. From the latest reports, it IS indicated that an actual ap- preach to the local mayor to run for state office has been made.

meeting Monday night at City Hall, and the revised schedule is ready for presentation to the Education unit tomorrow.
 Although members of the com mittees made no official report on their work, 1t was understood that figures submitted by the Water bury Teachers Association for single salary plan were followed closely in most instances.
 It has been indicated, however, that maximum pay figures sub mitted by the association were al- tered somewhat. It has also been indicated, as reported last week, that the Board may ask for a period of four to five years to put the resulting pay increases in ef- feet.
 The Association proposal calls for starting pay of $1,500 for teachers with two years training, for $1,70O for those with three years training, and for $2,ooo for those with de- greeS. The minimum pay for those with Masters degrees would be $2. 200, under the proposal.
 The Association asked for $100 raise each year for Is years for teachers with two years training Similar raises were requested for 18 years for those with three years training, and for 19 years for those with degrees.

Dr.WoIker
 Tells of Trip

Rev. pr. John c. Walker, speak ing before the Rotary Club at The Elton yesterday, discussed his ob- servationS during two-month tour of Europe for the Congregational Christian Committee for War Relief and Reconstruction. He returned here two weeks ago with his wife.
 The minister praised the British and Dutch for their friendlinesS to Americans and their attempts to meet postwar problems. In England, he said, the black market is not fourishing to any great extent. Food and clothing are still being rationed there.
 Despite a large crop, the black market is rampant in France, Dr. Walker declared He placed the blame for the condition of the people on the poor national govern ment which exists. There is no black market in Belgium, he said, but in- flationary conditions exist. Dr. Walker added that the country had not suffered as much by bombing as other nations.
 The political and economic situa- tion in Italy is wavering with no certainty what the future will be, claimed Dr. Walker, British and are not popular with the Italians, he added.

 Jews Still Missing
 We would welcome solution n the interest of both parties, put there can be no recognition of the independent political status of Jews in Palestine. We are conVlnceo that to accord such recognition would gravely menace Arab lnter- ests."

 Meets With o. K.
 or Local Agencies

Civic organizations and social agency officials united today in commenting Mayor John s. Mona gan, Rev. Eugene P. Cyrne and the other members of the Board of Commissioners on the appointment of a man having qualifications in experience and training as Welfare Superintendent.
 Waterbury has taken a progress sive step which is far ahead of many other Connecticut cities. Civic minded people recognize the im- portar1ce of placing the tremendous responsibility for maintaining the welfare and well-being of large numbers of families in capable hands. The Mayor, Father Cyrne, as vice-chairman, and the Board of Welfare Commissioners, have obvi- ously given priority to adequate training and experience in consid- ering the applicants for this posi- tion. These organiza tions, concern ed with community social and AAOo1uAA PAOO4CA1io, OAO l1Ob SpO1IoOI any specific individual for the su- perintendency of the department, being interested only in the ap- pointment of a competent person. Henry I. Begnal, the appointee, as stated in local newspapers, meets these qualifications for this key po- sition in the total community well fare program.
 The American Public Welfare Association has compiled material from almost every state indicating minimum requirements in education and experience for similar positions. The Mayor and the Board of Com missioners have met these require ments and are to be commended on their decision"

Fire Losses
 In Waterbury howIncreose

Fire losses to the city of Water bury, said Marshal Eugene Legge today, amounted to $130,05861 for the period between Jan. and Aug. 31. The total figure for the whole year of 1945, said the Marshal, was only 148,179.31.
 'If the present rate of fire des- truction continues for the year, said the marshal, the national damage loss due to fire will exceed $500 ,000,- 900 in property costs alone That this will be reached is almost a fcregone conclusion, unless drastic fire prevention and protective steps are taken in the immediate future by cities, municipalities and indus trial concerns most directly con- cerned with the problem The fire destruction figures in the United States have been on the increase for the past eight years and are grow ing faster now than ever before in history. For example, the fire loss for May 1946, increased 35 per cent over May of last year.
 Even more shocking than the loss in property and materials is the loss of life. More than 10000 lives are lost annually or an average of 27 day due to fires in the United States.
 Just 75 years ago, in 1871, Mrs. O'Leary's COW kicked over the lan- tern that started $187,000, ,000 blaze. In the intervening years, 45,- 100000 fires, large and small have plagued the nation. During the same period more than 750,000 people have been killed by fires, figure twice in excess of those Americans who died in World War II.
 Tt is estimated that the annual loss of life and property from fire in this country is from five to seven times greater than in Europe. Clim- atic conditions, types of building construction and high level of in- all have part in this higher percentage of fire losses, of course, but in general 1t is care lessness and the lack of proper first aid and fire extinguishing equip ment that shares tae blame for this loss"
