Oeneral secretary of the British Trades Union Congress, Sir Walter Citrine recently addressed a group In England as follows:

"Only a month ago In our Congress at iiome we passed with the complete support of the dele­gates a resolution pledging our de­termination to carry on the struggle until victory is won.

"Can anybody doubt t ha t Hltlerlsm and Faslsm become t r iumphant t h a t our movement can siu'vive? When I say our movement I mean our labor movement. Our movement ls>not some soulless or­ganization, i t Is a movement of a b a n d , of., people. trying to,. expre-is themselves in some organized form to raise the s tandard of life of the community as a whole. Thousonds of our people have sacrificed in order to make this movement func­tion. I ask w h a t will be the fate of t ha t movement if the dictators triumph.

"In our country we have used the Instrument ot taxation to effect aj very extensive redistribution ot the j wealth oC the country. Wo liave succeeded In putt ing the burdens on the backs of those the broadest to bear it. Out ol every five dollars Income of the richest people ot our country $4.37 Is taken In taxation.

"The future rests upon the out­come of the war . Britain Is supposed be a barrier, arid I beleve she is t ha t barrier between our. civilization and our democracy' and the Invading forces of the Nazi hordes. We have a tremendous tasl? In front of us. In front of us. Indeed, I tlilnk some­one hero, some very prominent s ta teman h a s willingly said t ha t the British Navy was the first line of defense of American democracy.

Health Officer Gives Warning

Of InTluenza Dr. Arthur S. McQueen, heal th officer .said last night tha t absences from schools and business was not alarmingly above normal.

There are many hard colds and grippe but so far the threatened Flu has not hit . •<:

With a mild..,type of influenza nearlng the epidemic stage, the health officer suggests these five rules to combat colds:

1. Avoid people who .have codis and houses where some one Is 111 tiurlng the 'cold' season.

2.. Keep up the resistance ot your body to disease germs by regular habits, clothing enough to avoid chilling, moderate eating, drinking plenty of water, adequate sleep and rest.

3. Wash your hands before eating and use only utensils which have been sterilized.

4. When you have a cold, s tay a t home In bed. If fever is present, call your doctor. Pneumonia almost al­ways starts as a cold.

5. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Destroy all dis­charges from the nose and mouth.

Dr. Walter Dalltsch of the Univer­sity of Illinois College of Medicine figures t ha t the epidemic may strike here by the end of January and tha t It may strike with particular force in army camps housing draftees.

'While the present outbreak in California," says Dr Dalltsch" ap ­pears to be of mild character , we know tha t as the virus Is t ransmi t ­ted through succeeding victims it at tains Increasing strength."

HOUSEKEEPER

TI4E PUBLIC SPEAKS UP ON DEFENSE A short lime ago, the 13lmo Hopcr Organization, which conducts

Uio extremely accurate elections polls for Fortune Magazine, asked a number of questions on defense subjects, and the answers given by a ci-oss-section of the American public have now been released by the National Association of Maiuifacturer.s.

'f he Kqpar.Organization sought to find out if the imblic thought that certain possible actions would speed up or .slow down the defense, program, whether or not those questioned act\ndly favored the mea-siu'es or not.

Most of the answprs throw a significant light on tho public's thinking in,regard to measures vitally important to the nations wel­fare. , ;

C!) per cent of those questioned believed that it would speed up defense if strikes were prohibited by law in industries producing de­fense goods; about 10 per eent'thouglit it would retard such produc­tion, and the rcjit cither felt it would make no, difCiifenee or had no opinion. >

Alotal of 07 per cpnt held that regular fnptory working hours.in national defense .industries should bo increased to more than 40 a week',1'or the sake of defense efficiency. 12 per cent thought this would retard proiluctioTi. ^ ^

. OucpiOTe particularly important thought,turned up in.answer to a question us .ip wliother the National Defense Commission should be given more .power. This move was favored by 54 .pet cent of those qnostinnod, while only G;per cent wovo deflniiely o t ^ O opinion; that this'would .liayo the opposite effect. ,

l!hpso public altitiulps on ykal defense questions show that -Ainoricans.everywhpre arc eager to sec tho program made more effec-tiyo, and that .the majority of them recognize definite steps in that direction. But they also indicate a large group who arc undecided or' hold no opinion at all, and it is onlyreasonable to hope that, in these grave times, this group w;ill become more actively interested in the national welfare and the measures that will nuike our, industries even stronger and more productive. • c, . •

WASHINGTON! SNAPSHOTS

BY JAMES PRESTON I

Now that the President has called upon the nation and Congress to go all-out for delense, the status of the program and things which slow 11 draw special Washington attention.

The new 0PM (Office of Produc­tion Management), whose creation was delayed for months after lt.s need became apparent, may solve some of the problems. Time will tell

But many signs, Including the lat­est Gallup poll, show a growing public belief that government Is primarily responsible for delay with la.bor and labor unions running sec­ond.

The Job of producing defense goods tails upon manufacturers. "They have been coming to Washing­ton in droves since Defense Com­missioner Knudsen in a December 13 address before the National As­sociation of Manufactures first dis­closed the urgency of the task.

•The story told by some of these manufactures are extremely impor-tant."They get down to the bed­rock of bottlenecks. More will be re­ported In this column from ^ time to tirne, but the first thing they all say is until the President's De­cember 29 fireside chat in which he described America as the arsenal for demqcr-acy, they had as­sumed 'that defense production should be superimposed upon normal business.

That was the,theme song from all Washington official — "maintain present standards and do the defense is becoming important enough that normal production is to.be made of secondary Impor­tance. Already, for example, Wash­ington lialk is heard that the auto­mobile industry should not produce new models thfs year and maybe stop automobile production alto­gether, so it may turn out ahrplanes.

If the government should sanction such a program, and the people ac­cept it, then It win be done Manu-fapturers say they, don't produce something just.because they them­selves think it is ,a good idea but because there is ,.a .sate for ..w^at they produce—the. people want it They consider themselves servants of public dehiands. ' • \

The second complaint is lack of planning in Washington. Take priorities, toi example. These are suggestions or instuctions from the government to manufacturers as to what they should produce first.

So far, priorities are called "pref­erence things" and have been issued by several government agencies in­stead of a single one which, can co

government will help them meet costs. One manufacturer, after hearing Knudsnn's speech, added a third shift, putting his plant on a 24-hour per cent less efficient than the other two. That made him pro­duce and deliver goods to the government at less than they actually cost him. But he is con-

During the four -day period two-hour shifts will be organized. If an airplane is seen or heard, the ob­server calls the local telephone op-rator and says "Army flash' and the telephone number at the ob­servation post.

The operator will connect the ob servei- with an army information center to which a full report will be made according to a prescribed form.

SCRAPBOOK

It's a good idea to keep a scrap-book, because it's fun to clip and paste, because a scrapbook Is fun to leaf through years afterward be­cause there's a book in each of 'our lives, even- through it appears In no other form .but as clippings between two'covers."

Till: LEGISLATUUK By the time this is in print the

State Legislature will be well under way. It has been formally organized by tho election of Hugh Alcorn of Suffleld as speaker, and W. Iladdew of West Haven as floor leader, and (he clerks, messengers and atten­dants that are necessary to make it function properly. This week Wednesday the committees will be announced by the speaker, and then bills will be introduced tor the next three weeks and referred to the proper committee for study and re-com.niendation. I believe at the last session about 3,000 bills were intro­duced, and something like 900 bo-came laws.

Many of these are ^purely roijtine matters, some of tliem are freak ))llls that have no ch'fince of passing some relate to,things that,are now )n the law, ar\d any of ,thcm i^iect with .dlsppproval. The house is so loi'gc that no one person can have a personal knowledge of more than a Very few bills, so almost Invariably the recommendation of the com mlttce will bo accepted. On most bills there Is a day set for a hear­ing and any persons can appear and express their opinions Some of tho bills excite great Interest and the hearings are largely attended, ,and full of interest. At the hearings some' people are altogether too gifted with a .flow of language, and monopolize the hearings to the ex­clusion of some 'who have more In­formation anfl less ability to talk. Some seem to think that a big dem­onstration and noise and cuthulsi asm ure 'the main tilings. p\ib think most of the (jopimlttpes' are glad to get any real information p'n any pending bill. ,I do nqt think duplicate or chain letters do much good, The legislative members know

•In othpr M'ords, merely because the truths contained in these little volumes were simple and seemed elementary in nature, it does not iueyitably follow that they were uuimpoi'tant. On the contrary, we probably drew morP of value from theai than from any other single source. And that's why it appears to us that the title of a recent book-; lot for American women is particularly well chosen; it's called "Prim-( or for Ainpricniis."

'I'hiy boqklct, \Vrittpn by the noted authors and- specialists at inalting ceonqmics intelligible, Ryllis and Omar Qoslin, come-s at a tiuioin national and worldihistory when "jirimary truths" are more important than ever before. I t tells about the stake of the United Stotos citizen in industrial produotion and distribution, and why tho freedoms we enjoy in this country are ao inexorably tied up with our economic way of life here. It tells what the role of being a free con­sumer in a free land pan and does mean to the Auierican woman. I t explains these things and nuiny more in a simple and understandable fashion.

We never needed more than we do today to understand our coun­try and the meaning of .the forces that make,it the greatest notion on the face of ithe .pai'th. Boolcs like ",Primer for Americans" pan go a long way towards .satisfying that need.

the story of the Invited guests who, when the banquet was ready, all be­gan to make excuse and failed to attend. I t may be, .as one commen­tator suggests, that Jesus told the story in a hupiorus veln.using ex­cuses ,that would make his hearers laugh (gotog to, prove oxen at night, for instance), but however ^hat may be, there was no harm, but rather positive good hi the things which they pleaded as ex­cuses. Buying property, proving oxen, marrying a wife-all perfectly right and proper In theh: place. The trouble was that these Invited guests were more interested In these things, good In themselves, than they y;ere In the sphltual feast which they might have particlpa-

gne manufacturer was told by one agency that his product had an A-1 pereference, meaning he should turn it out ahead of everything else. But he needed a machine to produce it. And his machine, from a second agency, got an A-3 rating—two grades lower.

Another manufacturer, to speed things had broken his contract up into parts and farmed It out to sub­contractors. He has agreed to fur­nish the fhiished product to the govprnment at his cost plus a free of 5 per cent. The government was closely watching costs.

This manufacturer soon was as­sembling his product faster than his parts were coming in. He appealed to sub-contractors to speed up. They replied they could not do so with­out working men overtime, playing time and thus being forced to in­crease their charge to the manu­facturer. .

Government officials got this news.But as of this writing they have not yet authorized the manu­facturer to assume the extra cost So he is still ahead of his svib-con-tfactors.

This cost complaint is rather gen­eral. "Profits" in general are repor­ted to be exteraely low. H they go high, of course, the goverment will ttike the excess in taxes. So there's ho point In making excess profits.

GOOD VEBSIIS THE PEST ted In. Alasl how many of that kind s'xt.'Suhday's lesson we have|lhore are today.,^ow many .there

are yvho pass up the food for their souls which the church provides, some through laziness, but many that they devote the thne to things which are good in themselves, but which do not and cannot take the place of what they neglect. In these ways the good is often the enemy of the best. We are too easily satis­fied with the little good, and so fail to press on to attain the best of which we are capable. Let us keep that In mind this new year arid aim higher than ever before. As Queen Guinevere decided as she looked back upon the great mistake of her own life,

"We needs must choose the highest when'we see It,

Not Lancelot or another."

In tlie so-called "good old days" even the essen­tials to comfortable home life were obtainable only at the price of endless drudgery.

In the gorfd new days, Mother, Father, Sister and Brother do by hand only the work they cannot do electrically. Home drudgery becomes more out-of-date with each passing year.

Foiir or five times as much electricity is used for drudgery-saving purposes as in tlie so-called "good old days", but because of lower rates family elec­tric bills have not increased proportionately.

Ae Open Letler To Congress

We, ,the imdersigned, address you as privote cit­

izens, anxious for the safety of our institutions nnd

,Qur country in a,world overfull of hostile aggression.

Wo ^peak for no que but ourselves, hut we speak

not only to .put before you our thoughts, rbut in the

hope that we may perhaps stimulate others to do

likewisq, in order that you, whose duty it will be ,to

.make decisions, may be able truly to represent the

will of the people.

We .believe that the Axis Powers—Gcrmony,

Italj ' and Japan—have clearly demonstrated that it

is ithpir ipurpoae not merely to defeat their ipresent

enemies,ibut^toconquerand dominate the world and

to irnpose '.upon tho peoples of the world a form of .

physical, mentol, and spiritual slavci'y designed sole­

ly to .perpetuate the mastery of the Axis dictators.

We believe tliat the outcome of the present war

•will determine whether human dignity and freedoin

are to perish throughout the world for generations

to come, or whether tlic challenge of lawless lust for

power shall be met and the would-he rulers of the,

world defeated and destroyed..

We believe that a victory of the Axis tyrannies

in Europe ond Asia would .place ova country in an

extremely precarious (Position, both .militarily and

cconomioally—a jiositipn in wdiieh its inilepcndence

could he .maintuinod only ,ot great cost and sacrifice

—if indeed ;it •ooiiia (he :maintaiued at all.

We fbalieve .that it is foolish and dangerous to

assume in t;he face of so .much recent evidence ;thot

.the Axis -Powers, if victorious over the nations now

reijisting ;them, would have no designs upon this

hemisphere. Once thpy were victorious, the decision

would be theirs, not ours.

Wo believe that it is an illusion skillfully pro­

pagated by Axis egents and thpir ,d\ijiep tn think

that w.c, as a free-people, could over "come to.tcrms"

with the victorious Axis tyrants.

Wo believe tha,t only .willful blindness to fact

permits the assertion that this country would ho in

no danger;if it had to .face a hostile sea power in tlio

Atlantic as well as another hostile sea powpr .i|i ,tihe

Pacific.

"^Vc believe that many of those who say that \t

,is too late, :that the Axis Powers ,can no longer be de­

feated oven with our help, do not want ,ip .thqir

hearts to have them defeated.

We believe 'that the Axis Powers can be de­

feated. We have seen what British airmen .pan idq

against Gevaian airmen five times their nmuber. Wo

;ho.ve seen what a ftw iBi;itish -divisioua ean -do

,againHtit\yioctheir.o,wn .force of fascist legions. We

have.secn whatitheOreek omiyoan do, and the Chi­

nese army against !i foe .With every advantage of

equipment save thc,iiidomitiil)!c OQurage,of freemen.

We believe that the Axis Powers will •bo de­

feated, if we, the people of the United States, do our

part—if we give prohipt nnd ofCcetivc aid to those

countries which are now holding the Axis tyrants

at bay. Tliis does not mean selling them war.mater­

ials so long as thoy can pay for them ond so .long as

it is convenient and profitable for us to produce

them. It .means turning our whole ^productive rp-

•sources and .ingenuity whololieai'ledly over to one

aingloiininded purpose. It means subordiuatiijg our

ordinary needs to this one greater noed.otl,b\iilding

Ships and ^planes and tonks ..and guns. I t means 'giv-

ing.thcsc things to those .who are fighting the battle.

I,t .means .thp mobilization of America for war—a

war jn which wo may ho tortuimto enough not to

Biicr.iflpo p.«r blood only if. wp do saorifioo f ro'oly of

our .Wealth, and work with unflagging energy.

We believe that a vast majority of tho Ameri­

can people know thcao things and are ready to

make the sacrifice, Wo believe Ihcy are eager for

.jironipt and detorminod leadership.

We cannot cxproHs an opinion os to the spccifla

mousiu'.os to bo token. Wo do not know all tho facts

upon .which .to.haao a,n opinion. AVo do not know, for

example, -whether it is necessary to use our Navy to

hijlp Jteep open the lines of supply helweon Amoriou

and thp British Isles. We do know thot tliesp linos

of supply muat^ho kept open if the Axis Powers are

to he detpnte^l. We do know they must be ilofoatod. -

Wc do know ithut neither foar nor e.y.opsi(ivo caution

Bho\dd iStttud in the way of our giving whutovor aid

is needed to bring a;hout their defeat.

' . i . . <n , , Whether we do this or pot, war >niiy b.o doclitrad

agoiust us. But neither ithe threats ,of .thp Axis iPow-

ers (Uor our own dread of hecomhi^ hivolved «» .a

and cffeotivo action. ,

Superintendent Cites Changes

in Curriculum Supt. of Schools William E. Oillls,

in his 10th annual report submitted recently to the Board of Education and made public Tuesday, reports many Improvements during the

. year in the soliool system. The en-i ^ j T r o l i m o n t l r i both elementary and

high schools Is practically the same as the previous year, h e states, a l­though over a period of 10 years there has been a slight decrease, the change amounting, to about three and a hal t pupils per teacher. . "Our high schools," Supt. Glllls

reports, "has completed four years of operation,' during which time more than 400 has been graduated. The high school has been accepted by the New England College En­trance Certification Board, which Is the oltlclal board for this section of the country* for tfie approval of high sohopls wislilng to send their graduates to various colleges. Con- | t rary to t h e general belief, high schools are no t classified a s Grade A, B, or C schools as regard to : soholorshlp, although there Is such classification In reference to a thle­tics based solely upon enrollment. Students who receive a ceOlflcate grade from our schooi crz recom­mended for entrance to college and are accepted on the same basis as graduates of other high schools."

Supt. Gillis cites a number of

changes In curriculum, and says t ha t due to changing^ social condi­tions the .nex t step should be defi­ni te expression (jt industrial ar ts . A full year's course of citizenship has been ffltroduccd in the seventh grades; "The addition of a full-time secretary .and business maiiager for the; school system, Mr. QUlls points oiit, has-,resulted in Increased a t ­tention to, the school p lan t and the work done by the stall of custodi­ans, An eUlclent system of purchas­ing,has also .been, made'possible by the new arrangement . A continu­ation of emphasis on the school plant Is desirable, he concluded, from the standpoint of protecting the citizens' Investment and from the standpoint also of heal th and safety.. ' ,

Th ree Tilts Listed For Blue Devils

Eddie Martin's Blue Devils arc scheduled for their toughest week end of .tlie sea,spn Uils week when they play ithree games on three consoputive days. On Friday they win oppose the St. .Mikes of New Haven on the St. Mike court. The Mikes have yet to be defeated on their surface ithls .SPason ;,and In facing the Bljie IP.evlis they are mooting .the toughest topmpetltlon they have .laced (thus •far,. .

The Devils iWlth 'IMInk" ;Sw.lrskl In their lineup ihave ,oome a long way since they flrat bowed .to the Hull's Brewers early this year and since they iliftve RddPd Joe iResJan to their roster they really sbould give the Saint's a real tussle.

Starting '.for jBranford will be PauUy Ward and Lou -Desi at for­wards. Joe ResJnn ..wUl Jump center and Mink Swirsky ,and Vic lukow-^ky are going to handle the major sbpre of itbe game at the guard spots. To offset this combination ithe St. Mikes will iprcsent .Bucclno (indGrazloi30;atitiicforwfird,berths. DlNellowlU try to match Res] an and St. Jplm and Petratessa will see service In the backcourt.

The preliminary game will have the Conn: Yankee girls opposing the St. George lassies of Bridgeport at 7:30 P. M.

On Saturday the Blue Devils will go to Gulltord to play the main game while the Blue Imps wlll,take over the preliminary c o n t e s t against the Guilford Jayvees. Sun­day they win meet the T. K. P. in a regularly scheduled Community League fray. ^

East Haven Bows Before Seymour

A surprisingly strong Seymour five .amazed the Hovisatonlc League last Friday night .when led by their right forward, Zlbllch, they pinned the second straight league defeat on East Hayen's supposedly strong Blue and Gold five at Seymour. The fln^l score was 28 to 23.

leading by tpur points at halt time and matching baskets with the favored visitors enabled the home team to move up In the cir­cuit standings.

Strleklan<J was the only East Ha-venlte t ble to match Zibllch's nine polnt.qf(ort, although Johnny Miller did trip the twine for a nice seven point total.

The Mahornien junior varsity tacked anotljer win pelt to their already weli laften string ot vic­tories. Score 22 tp 18.

This weekend will find two tra­ditional games on the boards. Both of them win have a large amount of local Interest. The first finds Brantord High facing East Haven and the second will have the Black and White of Connecticut U. travel­ing to Kingston, R. I. to meet the universally known Rhode Island State Rams, in tholr-objectlve game Neither ot the'two latter teams have been defeated as yet but early se­lectors feel that the U-Conns, led by Bob Donnelly and Johnny Yu-slevlcz, of this town, are due to go down to defeat.

.Regardless of the win or lose angle one thing Is.certain, both ot the Branford lads will give a good account of themselves and should Angle Verhils have a good hlght it is notbeyond thcrealm of posslbll-iyt that the .Huskies wUl win.

On the other hand Rhody with Wan-en Keaney, 270 lb. guard, tak­ing the ball ofT of the backboard and with Modzelwski and Condon, In the front court to drop the ball throught the cords Is well equipped to score as their over eighty points per game average can testify.

Swinging back to the East Haven game, Branford will meet the Ma­hermen on East Haven's own court. That in Itself should be significant tor the Blue and Gold have not been .defeated on their own court this season and have high hopes that once they hit their own play­ing surface they can regain their winning ways. Both Johnny MiUer and Frank Crlsafi are unusually ac­curate there especially in the vi­cinity of their foul lines. Also com­ing out ot his early season slump is Strickland who has a fine eye for long shots.

pranford without Clark in the backcourt last Tuesday looked poor against Seymour's scrappy five and unless the grippe relaxs Its liold upon Branford's left guard the lo­cals will enter the game an under­dog. This despite the fact that they have yet to lose n Housatonlc League game and have one ot the best players in the state their ros­ter, Stan Petela.

The Branford captain really car­ried Ills mates against the Wildcats last Tuesday and his floor work was beautiful to behold. Still, the Hor­nets always have trouble on Sey­mour's court and Fortune Hynovich and Llpkvich may find themselves in time to continue Branford's win streak.

Seymour electric-scoreboard and clock easily takes the honors lor being the most efficient system in the Housatonlc League If not the whole state. Likewise they give the scorers ample space to work. This is a decided Improvement In league policy. -To be sure not all schools can liave electric scoreboards but at least tlie scorers should have ad­equate space room if they are to record correctly the vital statistics of the game.

Seymour Rally Fails Against Branford 23-25

Branford High was lucky last Tuesday night in ringing up their third Housatonlc League victory at the expense of Seymour at the lat-ter's gym when a determined band ot Seymour wildcats tailed by two points in a furious last period as­sault to match the Hornet's game winning 25 points.

Branford was leading by eight points with four minutes to go when Seymour, packed by Bunk, struck out with a determined bid for victory that only was halted by the timer's gun.

-Doflnitely off form, Brantord was matciied throughout -the game bas­ket for basket and was seemingly headed tor defeat when Proto was called upon to replace Ward who was ruled from the contest with four personals in the tlilrd period. Patsy had enough speed to wake a slow Branford attack from Its dol­drums long enough to give the Knechtmen their eight point mar­gin-

Captain Petela with 12 points led the Hornets and was high scor­er of the game. He was t'ollowed by Bunk ot Seymour, who garnered eight points. Summary:

Branford Height Beats Lyman Hall

A tall Brantord High quintet headed by.Captain "Stan" Petela and ably assisted by "Tony" Hyno­vich and "Happy" Lipkvlch had lit­tle trouble in downing a scrappy Lyman Hall five a t the Walllngford Hlgli gym last Friday n igh t when they won over the hapless Pernald courtsters 30 to 26.

Working smoothly tor the first three periods, Johnny Knecht's charges swept in to an early 10 to 0

lead before t h e home team was able to count on a foul try. Ahead

by 17 points on occasions, only to have Lyman Hall scrap keep the score returning to the ten point margin, Branford finally got out in f ront by 18 points a t the end of the th i rd period.

At this point Knecht removed Fortune and Petela from the contest and the "never say die" Orangemen sped up the game until it resem­bled a track contest. Branford r e ­fused to slow up the fray and were a poor second In the rough and tumble last period.

Oddly enough the second squad p u t on a finer defense t h a n the first team in losing 21-10 to their Jayvee opponents in the prelimin­ary encounter. , ,_!

I am sure tiiat there are a tew people ot Branford who wlM believe iposite the thermometer. This kept this, but I can prove it by some pf the most respected residents ot our beloved town. |

About eight months ago there came to our house a bob tailed kit­ten. He was about the blackest cat tha t I ever saw. He had a wonderful knowledge of right and wrong. We first noticed this . when someone would tell a story. I t the teller of the yarn stretched it he would turn his left ear and ILsten. I t t he story was good he would turn the right ear and listen. This caused us to take notice of his doings.

He loved to play around the floor. Then he developed a craze to play With the madams' thimble. When sewing she was always looking tor It. After weeks ot this kind ot do­ings she became vexed and put the thimble on his bobbed tail. Then when she wished to use her thimble all she had to do was to call. Roc­ky, (which was his name) pull the

mo put t ing in new glass. So I watched him' and saw the cuss climb up the window to see how the temperature was. The glass was covered with frost. So he would rap on the glass with the tliimble which was on his bobbed tail until lie knocked the glass out so as to see. Now I have a board nailed on the window to stop this glass break­ing racket.

The most wonderful trick he has performed so far was two days be­fore Christmas. He loves to toUow one through the woods and hills. This time he was with me in the woods about a lialf mile from home. We were sneaking through the woods looking for a tew Christmas greens. Wlien apparently out of no­where dashed a big hen turkey. She made tor the cat with outstretched wings.

and po.islbilitlcs. First in the cntc Kory inbeled "certaintieH," is the prediction tliat no mnlt,cr what tlic outcome of tlie present struBglc, America will continue to ho tho Btrongost nation on earth. Our vast »upply of raw materials and indus­trial products make this possible. "No combination of powers," Chttso writes, "can outproduce us if wo turn seriously to our gigantic indus­trial moehino tor quantity produc­tion,"

Furthermore, America will not "go bankrupt," Wo have tho men and materials ond this requirement surpasses the need for money. Chase points to Germany, a country with­out money or credit who built m seven years the most powerful mili­tary machine of all times. America, ho says, can do the same thing. As tho defense program expands, fed­eral governmont will increase con­trol of our economic life. It the United Stotes actually enters the

0 tho point of moking the notion Mmost a totalitarian economy. Proof r this stortling statement can bo cad in tho M-Doy Program long nco prcporcd by tho Wor Dcpart-ent. , ,, .Self-Bulllcleney looms large oil

ver tho world and will continue to icrcasc, Chaso prophesies. World ado, for instoncc, will undergo rastic revisions. Among the events iHtcd In tho article as probable is 1 liemlsphore trading post or cartel 0 prevent tho lotalltarians from nshing in on the economic distress

of Latin America, According to t hase, America must help clear these southern surpluses of wheat, ((ilTte, heof, nitrotes, and so on. To rope with this, another probability is a "homisphero dollar" handled by a central trading agency.

Invasion, states Chase, la not like­ly for at least two ycors. Even then, It Is highly Improbable, because by that time our defense will be built to'a point where invasion will havo almost no chance of success. "Unless some extraordinary new method of transportation is Invented, North America will not bo invaded In our time, but if tho United States goes to war as an ally of Britoin it will not save democracy, liberty, capi­talism or anything on the moral agenda. It may save England from a military defeat, but nothing can save her from going 100% socialist," Chaso prophesies. Tho ruling class and "old school tie" according to this observer are things of the past.

Concluding his a»,-ticle, Chaso writes, "Another possibility is that after one or two disastrous wars be­tween tho new continental blocs which ore forming, mankind will take the final political step, a bloc of blocs, tho federation of tho world, with ono official language, ono cur­rency, one tarifflcss world market, and ono powerful air force to keep the peace. You and I will not live to SCO this, but sometim'es In the dead of night I glimpse Its shape, far away in tho misty future."

The damage amounted to one himdred and sixty dollars. , Mr. Worth was able to collect a small amount of the llo.uld In a bottle, and tha t and the top were examined by a State chemist, who toun^ the damage to have been done by,^ulphurlc aold.

The mat te r was investigated by State Policeman Mayer ot the West-brook Barracks, and he arrested Witkosky, and after confronting him with the strong evidence he had collected, Witkosky admit ted he throw the acid. ,, I t also appeared from the s ta te ­

ment of the prosecutor tha t , the back ground for this action occured on November 21, 1940, Wlien Mr. Worth In performing his duties as principal was compelled to Inter­fere with certain actions of Witkosky. Witkosky- evidently con­strued this as an Interference with his right to do as he pleased or his personal liberty and planned this for his revenge. -

The prosecutor denounced Witko­sky as a man 22 years old, a former High School student. Who. had been educated a t public expense and certainly was old enough to know better. He asked that in view of the seriousness of the matter t h a t a jail sentence be imposed.

Attorney DrlscoU urged on the court the tac t tha t the young man had an excellent reputation, was, a first offender and had to pay the damage. Ho stated in his opinion small fine was sufficient.

Judge Zacher, however, took the more serious view of the matter , and sentenced Witkosky to serve ten days In Jail and pay a tine of $25.00 and costs. Witkosky then took an appeal to the Court ot Common Pleas. February Term, and was released on a $300.00 bond.

DOES FORD PAY GOOD WAGES?

HERB ARE SOME FACTS about Ford Labor. Dur ing the year ended November 30th, 1940, the Pord Payroll throughout the United States averaged 113,628 hourly wage earners, not' including office em­ployes, students, or executives. They were paid $185,105,639.12. O n this basis, the average annual wage was $1,629.05.

According to the latest available govern­ment figures, the annual average -wage of all workers in employment covered by old age insurance law was S841.00.

If the 45,000,000 workers of this country received the same average' wage as Ford employes, they would have had additional wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus i nc reas ing the n a t i o n a l income abou t 50%. Th ink what such an increase would mean to the workers of this country and to the American farmer, whose prices are based on the national income.

'Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants ate divided into three classificatioos:

Unskilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 75c per hour

Semi-skilled .. . Minimum hiring wage . 80c per hour

Skilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 90c per hour Higher wages are in consideration of ability and years of service.

Minimum wage scales for unskilled labor at the Rouge plant are the highest in the industry. Top wages for skilled labor compare favorably wi th , or are higher than, wages in odicr automobile plants.

N o w some facts on Ford labor conditions:

Not only are sanitation and other health conditions the best in the industry, but Pord also leads in safety devices for the protection of employes. Proof of this is found in the following com­

parison of compensation insurance costs:

T h e national average rate in automotive manufacwring plants as computed by the Nat ional Association of Underwriters is in excess of $1.50 premium on each $100 payroll. The Ford cost of workmen's .. compensation is less than 50c.

This indicates that the chance of injury in a Ford plant is much less than in the average automobile plant.

T h e Ford Motor Company has no' age l imit for labor, and in fact deliberately attempts to keep older workers working. T h e average age of Ford workers at the Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7. '

A recent check-up shows that nearly one-half the workers a t these Ford plants Were 40 or over, falling into these age groups:

25,819 betwefen 40 and 50 14,731 between 50 and 60 • -

3,377 between 60 and 70 417 between 70 and 80

12 between .80 and 90

In addition to the so-called regular em­ployes, the Ford Motor Company has hired, and now has on the payroll, at the , same regular hourly wage, thousands of workers who are blind, crippled or other­wise incapacitated for normal productive work. They are not seleaed for their ability to iDuild cars or to maintain the plant. They are on the payroll because of Henry Ford's Ijelief that the responsibility of a large company to labor goes be­yond the point a t which the unfortuna:« worker can no longe^ produce profitably.

T h e above are facts. They are open to anyone who really wants to deal in facts. Anyone who wants to get a job . . . buy a car . . . or place a national defense con­tract on the basis of fair labor treat­

ment must place Ford at the top of his eligible list.

Thomas S. Smith, state chairman of the Committee for the Celebration of the President 's Birthday, which is directing the campaign In practi­cally every community In Connecti­cut, explained today how every In­fantile paralysis victim is benefit­ted by the drive in this s tate.

Using the figures of the 1940 cam-. palgn, when a similar procedure was followed, Mr. Smith said that $39,661.64 was raised in this statC; of which amount $19,075.17 was turned over to the National Founda­tion for Infanti le Paralysis, while $20,586.47 was retained in Connecti­cut. Connecticut's share, in turn, was distributed to the six state chapters of h te National Founda­tion, which exist in this s tate , and through them were devoted to the individual cases in the various com­munities.

Three methods are being used by the Connecticut Committee for the President's Bhthday, which Is the organization conducting the drive for the National Foundation. They are the "Mile O'Dimes" campaign in Hartford and the larger cities of the state, the "Home Parties", by civic and social leaders to represent women's contributions, and the various activities scheduled for the actual observance ot the President's bhthday.
