A Thought for Today
School Journalism
By ELLENORE M. JORDAN (Of Sacred Heart High School

School journalism in Waterbury has advanced well be- yond the pioneer stage All five high schools have well established and progressive school publications several of them winners of national awards The presence city today of hundreds of of the school press of Connecticut evidence of the keen interest of students and their advisors in journalistic work.
 The journalism activities of high school students, whether part of the regular curriculum purely out sdeofcass interest of the students is refuation of the idea that teen-agers have serious outlook life The need keep up current events to form intelligent opin ions world affairs and to express them effectively to record school activities with interest to fellow students to handle advertising and circulation problems with efficiency and always to meet deadnethese of the phases journalistic work high school that make worthwhile
 The annual scholastic press conventions both state and national full of inspiration The contacts with students other with other interests broadening while the opportunity to meet prominent men and of the newspaper e and to learn from their experience and ad helpful to degree appreciated only by those student journalists who know this privilege Waterbury is honored in being host to the enterprsng Connecticut Scholastic Press Association rated of the best organized in the country Today's convention fresh impetus to school journalism in this city and throughout the state

The AVG Marches Forward

It must be gratifying to Mayor John S. Monagan to the letter of commendaton from the Waterbury Chapter of American Veterans Committee praisng him for his and the Housing Authorys immediate action and energetic efforts in behalf of local veterans housing prob lems.
 The local AVG chapter in turn to be commended for it's civic spirit displayed by of it's intelligent approach to this problem Giving credit where credit due not everyday custom during these times
 Most gratifying to this newspaper is the facilitating effect this letter should have local opportunsts who have made desperate last minute efforts to get the hous ing bandwagon This type of political deceit should be opposed every and exposed in all it's cheapness

,came the major issue until frightened and har- red President had to act so that the self deluding hysteria could be assuaged.
 It was, of course a fake issue created by clever propaganda of the counter revolutionary forces of re- action It hold-up. For now that the deed IS done, now that the forces of greed have been com promised with it does not mean meat for everybody at all Millions caught in the squeeze of imitation still won't be able to get it, and from the restaurants and dining rooms of those who can there will be taken away plates with enough left to feed millions who are starving in other parts of the world
 As have travelled about, my mind has gone back often to what in Europe only year and half ago-ruined and ravaged cities desolate hungry people, long lines waiting for bread So many of us saw that. My impression undoubtedly was the more graphic for got quick, hurried, grim glance, so that did not become inured to 1t, and will never leave me. From that nghtmarish memory I travel through a land of peace and plenty with it's cities intact it's people at work and prosperous, and hear the cry:
 build up our hates. Everywhere I have traveled the talk is all of Russia, and vicious voices whispering to stir up hate If all could go the number of miles have been in this country and all could go the same number of miles among the people of Russia, and how they living in country yet ghastly from the devastation, perhaps we might stop and consider ourselves. And the cry of Communism goes through the land to impede every good cause. It is a strange and terrifying phobia. It is being used by the forces of reaction cevery Skillfully-until placed political leader remarked:
 Even the liberal forces have become fright ened that they are beginning to look under the bed
 ''There are Communists among us Their work is nefarious But it must be recognized for what it is They must be met their grounds. Their machinations must be combatted. They really so few. Surely We are not going to let few conniverS deter us from our own steady way of progress Oh, that there were voice to save and tell us what towards we have suddenly become We, in the richest land in the world with the finest and reest political system cringe and crawl before few little plotters and allow them to confuse uS and allow those whe use them for that purpose to conSuse us'

 Times change Ways of doing things change The recent airplane flight from Hawaii to Cairo over the North Pole is case in point. Not so long ago, such an expedition would have been impossible, and any prediction of it would have been regarded as fantastic. Again, there is television; the generality never dreamed of anything of the sort twenty years ago. Or take the magazine advertisements. Their ex- plicit sensuality is a recent de- velopment.
 This last consideration suggests that not every change is an im- provement. There is one change which by no stretch of the imagin- ation could be considered an inn provement. We refer to the shrill "Hi" which seems to be replacing the proper Good morning, Father" or How do you do, Father?" as a greeting from youngsters to a priest whom they meet in the street. It is true, of course, that a loud, treble 'Hi!' is breezer and perhaps more intimate. It is redolent of that splendid quality described in a re- cent best selling novel as "palship" It is time-saver and breath saver. But IS it proper?
 We think not And when a priest objects to it, it is not because of personal considerations. That is, he does not view the abrupt monosyll- able as an affront to his private self. But he knows it to be most unbecoming as touching his public self, his official status, his sacred character. The latter demands re- spect, and no dispensation from such respect can be either granted by the priest or presumed by any one else. The priest is invested with awful dignity. This he cannot lay aside, this no one else can take away. It is right and good that he be on friendly terms with one and all, that he be warmly greeted But not by "Hi!" What a hi-ding we would have got had we hi-ed a priest in our youth within our par ents' hearing Yes, times change. But the priests identity does not, nor should the manner of address ing him.

JUNIOR COLLEGES
(NeW York Times

N4NCW O4h 1AACSI
 The gradual growth of public junior colleges in the United States is one of the significant educational developments of the present cen tury. The recent announcement by the American Association of Junior Colleges that the enrolment this Fall totals 355, 1000 students indi- cates the increasing importance of these schools.
 Junior colleges are serving a de- finite need in the nations educa- tional system The present total of $50, representing both public and private institutions, is serving it's share of veterans who are continu- ing their education under the bene- fits of Federal regulations.
 Public high schools have made a tremendous growth since 1900. At that time approximately 10 percent of secondary age pupils were in schools, today the figure is nearly 70 percent and educational leaders predict that within a generation 90 percent of Americas 'teen-age youth will be in schools. The public junior college will add to the cost of education but citizens are grad ually coming to the realization that education is fundamental corner stone of democracy. This nation spends about 1-2 percent of it's na- tional income on schooling; Eng land is planning to spend 2 percent and educational experts estimate Russia is spending 5 or 8 percent. Our junior colleges, both public and private, offer high school grad uates two-year terminal courses, or two-year general courses or two- year general courses from which students can transfer to regular col leges and universities. A public jun for college in every sizeable com- munity means a strengthening of our nations educational system.

INDIAN SUMMER
Christian Science Monitor)

Tn time approaches when many sections of America will, temporar- fly at least, bask in the mellow temperatures attributed by Cham bers of Commerce to Florida or California. For those animated al- manacs, the birds flying southward and squirrels storing nuts in back yard walnut trees, proclaim that Indian summer will soon be at hand.
 There is no fixed date for arrival. With the stealthiness of the deer stalking early American from which it takes it's name, it bursts upon us autumn chill, during which fur mace fires may have been lighted and heavier garments donned, one wakens of morning to find that Summer has suddenly returned Dispirited, late-blooming flowers perk up amazingly, and dandeliops appear on lawns. Butterflies and

bees are once more in evidence. In the city, the autumn tinted leaves of oaks, naples, and elms form a kaleidoscope of color. Topcoats are returned to clothes closets, and re- gently deserted tennis courts and golf courses once more resound with carefree activity.
 Although it appears to be merely an interval, Indian Summer ex- tends from September through Mo-
 vember, Hats off to this aboriginal interlude. It provides one of the most pleasant periods of the year.

Merry-GO-ROun

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19- Henry Wallace is . mild, sOft-spOken, unprOfane man. Seldom does he swear, matter how provoked. However, friends who visiting in his hotel site heard one of his few words when it was announced that Averell Har riman was the man picked to replace him as Secre- tary of Commerce.
 'That ---l" exclaimed the ex-Secretary of Commerce. Hes the one who torpedoed the San Francisco Conference. And they want a Secretary of Commerce who will keep his nose out of foreign affairs!"
 NOTE 1-Wallace was referring to Harriman's secret press conferences at San Francisco where he fed newsmen vigorous ant-Soviet reports. Naturally these leaked back to the Russians, did not lead to Russo American harmony.
 NOTE 2eJust few weeks after Wallace busted for making statements on US.-U.SS.R. policy his successor made some dynamite-laden statements on exactly the same question-though from differ ent angle-at the National War College Hartman later issued semi-denial but his remarks sounded very similar to what he told meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Winter.
 It's funny how old lobbyists, like chickens always come home to roost. One of them, Robert E. Smith by name, has just turned up in the nations capital armed with high-soundng titles and plenty of coin to defeat MT. Truman and friends just he tried to defeat MT. Roosevelt It's the same old story under different name.
 Most people have forgotten all about MT Smith. But back in the heyday of F.D.R.'s most important economic reforms, MT. Smith came to Washington rented 8 Swanky home in Rock Creek Park and pro- ceeded to try to defeat the Holding Corporation Act Congressmen were invited to lavish parties at his ornate mansion where sweet words were whispered on behalf of the big utilities.
 Finally, Smiths lobbying nest was exposed, and he slipped quietly out of the limelight.
 But not for long. He came back little later with another high-sounding name and another game of lobbying. This time 1t was called the National Conference of Investors under whose aegis he formed
 preferred stockholders committee allegedly to pro- tect the rights the stockholders of the New Haven Railroad, then in bankruptcy. However, Federal judge finally punctured things for MT. Smith.
 'The facts leave little doubt" ruled U. S. Judge Carroll C. Hncks of Connecticut in 1922, that the dominant motive underlying the formation of this committee was the desire to obtain gainful retainer"
 Then after exposing the way Smith paid salary to himself to his son. -in-law office manager, and even his daughter Judge Hincks continued:
 Tt will be noticed that of his (Smths) work affected in the slightest degree the course of reorganization"
 The Undaunted Mr. Smith, however, continued lobbying in connection with the New Haven Railroad and at the last session of Congress finally achieved success
 The last session a lobbyists heyday. Re- actionary Republicans and od-lne Democrats held almost open house for big business And completely blind to the issues they passed railroad re-organza
