When Christmas came this year, t h e elderly couple, who have seen m a n y distressing times as well as joyful ones, were the happy center ot a largo family party In the home of tliolr son, Ed­ward, a t 370 liaurel street. I n the group wore th ree sons, two daugh­ters, daughters and sons In law, and more t h a n a dozen grandchi l ­dren, including Seaman 2-c James Kronborg who had arrived homo on a surprise Chris tmas furlough.

Laurel street in 1904 was only a back, country lane which led from East; Haven center through the backwoods east of Fair Haven Heights to Fa i r Haven, Few people passed that way in those days, and neighbors ^<fere tew and t a r be­tween.

Mr. Kronberg was born In Latvia arid .spent hisi boyhood there. When a young man he came to Now York and It was there , while,working In a sugar factory, t ha t he met a charining miss by the n a m e of Minnie Dcerlng who had migrated to this country from her native Germany.

THE BllANFOKU llEVIKW- EAST HAVEN NEWS

Gen. Kiiox Says

Well folks here I am back home In East Haven again, I hope you all had a Merry Chiistmns and let us all look forward to a New Year that win go n long way towoi'd bringing pefice to the world. and that our boys and girls will be back with us again soon. I hope you missed nte last week but you see I always like to go back once In a while to where I used to live. Looks like you had some doings while I was away what with the parly that the Rotary club with the help of Lou Rocheleau and the other fel­lows put on over at Lou's Little Red House on the Parkway. That's the kind of a community affair that helps the town and the Rotary fel­lows deserve a lot of thanks for bringing Santa to town so tho lit­tle kiddles could see him. By the looks of Mr. Stevens paper last w.cek I guess I would have been crowded out anyway with all those fine ad­vertisements which our progressive town merchants put In tho paper. Seems like it was a case of more advertisements than news but then it's business like that that reflects a lively community and It Jooks to me like East Haven Is on the way toward being such a place. Now this New Years so I've always heard is the time to make resolu­tions. Well folks I have resolved to live up to my reputation here and have a lot of things up my over­coat sleeve that I aim to talk about in the weeks to come. Believe you me there's plenty of Items^on what the club people call tho agenda for the coming year. Now I ain't going to start in this week on voicing my opinions on this and that. Sort of have to catch my breath after my long trip away. You know traveling by train was pretty tough this sea-,son. It ain't so easy as getting in the automobile and skooting away like wc used to be able to do and which we all hope we will be able to do again some day. As I said bo-fore I'll get something off my chest next week and in the meantime a Happy New Year.

Urges Autos Be Kept Off Street At Night Time

First Sclcclnian James J. Sulli­van this week urged that the townspeople cooperate with the highway department by keeping automobiles off the street overnight Ho pointed out'that every effort Is being made this winter to clear the streets of snow after each snow­fall but that tho work o(»the high­way crows is hampered because of parked aiitomOblles. Jle also re­quested that householders prompt­ly remove the snow from sidewalks in front of tlielr homes, and In tho event Ice fonns to see that they are sanded.

Last Sunday the road crow was out at 2 A.M. sanding the roads so that those attending morning ser­vices In he churches would find tho streets less dangerous. Crosswalks were sanded and made safe.

Mr. Sullivan also stated that the annual town report has gone to the printer, having been reviewed by the auditors, and will bo ready for pub)lc distribution in book form after the first of the year.

Tho preliminary jjlannlng for the now' War Memorial Athletic Field Is now taking, form, he said, and Town Engineer'Charles Miller has niado a good start on the surveying and paper-worki Mr. Sullivan be­lieves tho new playground can be made into one of tho best Athlello Fields in tho state.

George Blanchard, chairman of the Intor-organlzatlon Post-war Planning Committee, called atten­tion this weelc to an Associated Press dispatch from Washington which pointed out thhl local gov­ernments can start planning now their projects under the $3,173,250,-000 three-year postwar highway program. The 44 State Legislatures meeting in 1945/the article quoted President Roosevelt' as saying, should "give promiDl and vigorous [attention" to the highway program.

Mr. Blanchard who. has pointed to Laurel street as in need of ex­tensive straightening and condi­tioning If post-war bus service is to be possible to the people.' in that neighborhood. Is of the opinion funds can be forthcoming for that purpose. He said that President Roosevelt has called this new mea sure "a challenge to the states, counties and cities Which must originate the spedttc projects and get the program ready for con­struction after the war ends."

"It sure was good reading," he said, "and 1 want It forwordcd to mo regularly. Have had quite a few boys come through hero, but none from the old homo town. Did not moot anyone that I knew until this week, when I mot throe lads from Now Haven and saw the NEWS.

OOL. CHARLES E. LOOKHART (New Haven Register)

Early In the month when Col. Charles E. Lockhart received his 2BTyear medal for service In the Second Company, Governor's )poot Ojiard, he looked and acted.' as though'many yoai's of continuftd useful service to Uie community la:^ before him. Today he Is dead after an operation.

Lamented as his pa.<>slng IS In many flelds of activity, it Is doubt­ful, whether ho would have had the end come other than at the height of.his career.

Colonel Lbckhort was a forceful and an engaging teacher, olthough a strict disciplinarian. He was Al­ways , popular because', he loved youngsters and never spared him­self'to further their education and development.

Leaving high, school to go abroad with the 102nd Regiment, he made a distinguished record In the mili­tary service. He loved tho soldier's life,' the companionship of men arid the atmosphere of camp and armory. He seryed the Foot Quord through dilTlcMlt days and en­hanced the prestige lOf that organ-l?at|on In publiq opinion, peyond

Bureaucrats arc Ilndlng out thai the spirit or Independence still llve,< In American agriculture . . . • The War Fdod Administration

has run up against this .spirit dur­ing efforts to get 5,000,000 tfcres of (lax-sced planted for Unseed oil production. Farmers say (lax If comparatively unprofitable unles,^ tho seed sells for three times the price of ^yheat or four limes thai of corn. State committees protest they don't feel justified in recom­mending acreages prescribed as government goals. C^'lfornlansi now sowing flax intend lo plant 15 to 36 per cent less than In 1044 . . .

Sugar experts say privately that WFA won't have much success with plans to Increase sugar beet acre­age. Labor shortages are cxpectea lo hold beet plantings to about the 1044' level- of 501,000 acres, leaving the size of) .'sugar rations largely dependent 'on impbrts . . .

Capital authorities on grain don't expect a glut In the corn market despite the record 1044 harvest. In­dustry's corn bins are all but empty and so are those of Commodity Credit Corp. . . .

Farmers as well as Industry may reap postwar' beneflts ' from war­time ' lunchrooms In Industrial plants. Plans for retaining the lunchrooms ofter the war, for the health.and well-being of manufac­turing employees, are under dis­cussion. Siich restaurants make a specialty of serving agricultural produce that Is In surplus supply.

At the beginning of this year appropl-mately 8,400,000 or 60 per cent of our, factory Workers, were emjjloyed In'tlie durable' goods Industries where the bulk of the war output W(is centered.

nant question appeared at the bot tom of the picture. It was Holy Week. The picture was that of Christ hanging on the cross. Here was the question: "Who crucified our Lord?" The back of the pic­ture carried the answer: "The wicked Jews!" I grant that it was not an attempt to t,each antl-Seml-tlsm, yet to the child mind a seed hadbeen sown, a dangerous one at that! Dr. Conrad Henrj' Moehlman PI the Colgate; Divinity School said of siich teachings In schools of rer llglon: "Are the'C'hrlstlari boys and girls' who taunt innocent "Jewish children with being 'Christ-kiljers' more guilty than their elders who permit them to study it In schools of religion?" •

The mind of the child is only one area where" seeds of race prejudice are sown. Space does not permit us ^ study, the seeds in adolescent jducatlon. I have always respected the literary genius of Shakespeare, yet The Merchant of" Venice has had e. dlsasterous effect upon the sood repute of the Jew. Innumer-ible are the persons who have nev-ir known, or met a Jew, but whc visualize him as a living facsimile )f Shylock.

Dr. Durant believes that a reading of past events sliould illuminate the present. In the class struggles and jockeying for power 'that typify Roman history, he finds an analogue to the development of Europe and America to the present time. He reminds us that dictators have ever used the same methods.

Yes, even In Germany soul-stlr-rlng stories are malting head-lines. One has been related by the Swed­ish journalist, Arvld Fredborg who has recently come from Germany. Here are a few of 'his sentences: "One must not lay too much em­phasis on the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism (in Germany) for in the face of the common pressure many barriers have fallen. Catholic priests preach in'Protestant churches^ and Pro­testant pastors expelled from their parishes have enjoyed the support of funds which Naxllsm so far has not been able to rob from the Ro­man Church." Think of it! Catholic priests preaching in . PiBtcstant pulpits, and Protestant pastors liv­ing on Catliolic funds! It Is almost miraculous. This is Indeed a Strange, but a hopeftil generation when 'we read of such cooperative accunts.

This, then is my jjlea for the New Year: If you would 'keep faith with that boy In the foxhole— somewhere—then slowly pull your­self above the level of race preju­dice and hate. Throw the full force of your influence toward the com­plete elimination of this Nazi curse from bur nation, and our commun­ity.

SIXTH ARMY GROUP, F r a n c e -Artillery barrage preparations that opened the French First Army's drive along the Swiss border to the Rhine smashed and neutralized enemy artillery and fortlflcatlons in the Belfor Gap region.

The planning that directed that barrage and the location of the German guns that were smashed before they could hliider the drive was just part of the day's work for the 1st Field Artillery Observation battalion, which is working with the French First Army In Fi-ance.

Soldiers in the battalion Include Pvt. Thomas C. PIscltello, Laurel Hill.

Using "Sound and flasli" meth­ods, the soldiers of this battalion located enemy batteries accurately and quickly. When it was time for the drive to start, American and French artillerymen, working side-by-side, tjiilckly' smashed the ene­my's big guns, : '-: ,

"One story of how effective our location was Is that an enemy fired a couple of rounds to show an inspecting. German general staff how good they were. Major E. J. Morris Jr., Sylacauga, Ala., battal­ion commander, explained. "But no'soonerdld they Are than we re­plied. Our location had been per­fect and the Yank shells landed right on the targe tand wiped out the battery and the visitors."

Tne battalion has been in the line continuously, except for peri-: ods of moving to new positions, since December, 1042, reportedly longer than any ' Ainerlcan unit since 1865. This battalion is also the oldest American field artillery observation battaUon In the Army, according to officers of-the organi­zation.

The 350th got there first and greeted the Ger­mans with Intense fire. It was the start of the . week-long ferocious battle. Clouds hugged the moun­tain top, concealing advancing Germans until they were within a few yards of the defenders, and much of the fighting was done at

range of 50 yards. Six Germans were killed within the castle that tharks the peak of the mountain.

Attacking two or three. times dally, the Germans were supported by intense, accurate concentrations of artillery fire. In three morning and one evening attacks they used

One of my neighbors, an olIlc(al In a war plant In our town, tells me his factory needs men—needs

' them desperately. And, V unde r ­s tand It's the , same everywhere.

There was a time, back when the Invasion started, t h a t we ta lked about V-day almost• any day. We; were excited, t r iumphan t . In the first flush of our landing In France-

But as the slow days ,have crept on, as t h e grim reports ' have, come In, It h a s been bornellrt on all of us t ha t t h e ei^d: Is no,; tye t i n sight.

No, It Is. hot ye t , t ime for war workers to think of ^ peace jobs. There is a serlbus.shortage of &m-

tires and tanks. Gen. Somervell, Is calling urgently for more and then more production.

Because now, for the first t ime In this war, we are using more than we produce.

I read something ' interest ing about t h a t the other day, Frederick Crowford, Cleveland industrialist, has jus t come back from the war fronts and explains It like this: •• /We need more mater ia l of all kinds because oin- policy Is to ex­pend material , not m e n . We would- i n ' t need such staggering quant i ­ties If we were willing to sacrifice j

' Prom w h a t I've read the s i tua­tion is dangerous. But It 's no t des­perate . After all , industry and la­bor accomplished a miracle once before when Hitler said we couldn'b Now, If. every Ajmorlcan who can responds to t ho call for 300,000 war workers, wo can turn shor tages In­to surpluses—arid tu rn the corner to victory.

[ouf hitting your pocketbook. The paper used to pack overseas ship­ments of war goods can never bo salvaged. We must salvage more at home.

Drivers Warned To Use Caution Over Holidays Police Department Takes Steps

To Ensure Careful Weelt End Driving

Woehrle by the Con­necticut Highway Safety Commis­sion, which has appealed to police authorities through the -tate to exert all possible pressuic on auto­motive traffic to ensure careful driving,

"The Safety Commission," stated Chief Woehric, asserts that Con­necticut's 1944 traffic accident ex­perience win be substantially high­er than last year. That fatalities, too. have not kept pace with this mounting total Is mere luck which can change overnight and bring sadness to the homes of accident victims. '

"Our department has been main­taining constant pressure on motor vehicle traffic but we will Intensify this supervision durlpg the closing days of this year when the tradi­tional New Year's Eve celebrations lead so many operators to take a chance and drive after drinking. Ample warning Is herewith given all motor vehicle operators using our streets that If. they drive they must not drink and if they drink, they should not drive. Arrests will follow every case we contact where the driver shows Indications of In­toxication."

Ice, said Chief Woehrle, this morning have put our roads In a very dangerous condition.

To the People of this Community

Five billion dollars of the 14 billicn dollars our country needs to press the war against our ene­mies must come from Individual

investors. That sounds lilcc, and i s , a lot ot money. Actually success or fail­ure ot tile Si,\lh War Loan is up to each indivia-ual American.

E v e r y war loan has boon oversubscribed because Ameri­cans by tho mil­

lions have shared its responsi­bility^ Americans such as you have recognixcd the need ot extra War Bond purolia^cs over and above their normal payroll sav-inus.

There Is no • such UilnR as a little fellow in a War Bond drive. Your War Bond'purchases, mul­tiplied by tho War Bond pur-chasesL of your friends and neigh­bors, become lighting power which saves lives ot Americans on tjie battlefronts and brlnRs us nearer our common nblcctivo.

Mrs. Samuel A. Griswold will be hostess at a meeting of the Bran­ford Garden Club, January 5th a! 2:30.

I have been asked to write an article for the readers of our town's splendid newspaper the Branford Review. It Is a signal honor; and I hope that your pleasure in feadlng it Is commensurate with mine in writing it.

A friend of mine was conversing with me the other day on Main Street. He asked this question: "What in your judgment is the major tragedy thus far to come out of the war?" A carfetul survey brought this answer: "Race preju- ; dice and hate." Here is a dasterdly' sin, quiet, subtle, decently clothed and very often in church pews, yet ' none the less one of the most ruin­ous menaces on earth. It is a basic denial ot everything that religion stands for, and counter to the very principle upon which our democra­cy is founded.

I believe that the paramount de­sire within all ot our hearts today, especially as we face the New Year, Is to be real, honest-to-goodness Americans. And with our strong patriotism, we want to be the sus-talners of democracy, too. The price being paid on the battle fields ot the world today Is too costly for us to traffic with the hisldeous forces which can kill from within our democratic way of life. It Is not lenough that our brave warriors save it on the outside. We here at home must save it ' from the in­side. A creative democracy is In­ternal, as well as external.

Now one of the forces, from with in, which can defeat our high re­solve "that tliese shall not have died in vain" is race prejudice. The foundation ot race prejudice is hate and hate is not inherited— IT IS ACQUIRED! And long after its seeds havei been sown, germin­ation may take place. For example, let us take the problem ot anti-Semitism. One of the most fertile fields for the planting ot the seeds of anti-Semitism is in the mind ot a child. Children glory in Imagery and fantasy. Tlieir earliest fears comes when they learn ot mon­sters, witches, devils and "the big, bad wolf". The child mind never forgets that which caused It the least pang ot fear. Thus the fears and fantasies of childhood affect future adult attitudes and conduct Tlierefore, the very manner In which the Jew, or any other racial group, is introduced to the average child mind may prove of serious consequence to that child's devel­opment as a completely adjusted adult, tolerant of his fellow citizens

Count Richard Coudenhove-Ka-lergi, a distinguished student of anti-Semitism, has said: "The his­tory of the origin ot anti-Semitism leads us to early childhood. Since Freud's discoveries It has been es­pecially beyond all doubt that the soul of-the child is the retort wherein a great many of the later instincts and sentiments originate."

I recall, as a boy, that a Jewish family moved into our neighbor­hood. I soon learned upon inquiry that they were'"different" than the rest of the community. As the thought became more acceptible, I assumed that all Jews were differ­ent, not only in faith, but especial­ly in their peculiar ethical ideas as well. Soon this Innocent Jewish family stood for everything unus­ual and undesirable. And yet as I reflect back upon this incident, how utterly Innocently the seeds of race prejudice were sown in my young mind. A child does not rea­son; he accepts what his elders^ teach him.

A partial survey of juvqnlle liter-iture^ reveals the' Jew portrayed al-yays as a rascol and a rogue. For instance, picture in your mind the 'icene at a children's party where in older girl Is reading to the chil-Ireii Mother Goose nursery rhymes i which the following Is a part: •ack'sold his'egg
