War Calls Come First
Despite record=breaking plant=extenlsions today the telephone lines are
crowded with traffic as never before, and some calls are certain to be
delayed. There are two principal causes for this; first, the tremendous
scope of the Nation’s war activity which has raised telephone volumes
to all-time highs; second, the shooting war must have prior call on all
raw materials. This means that materials required for new or additional
telephone facilities are being diverted to weapons, planes, tanks, ,am- . .
munition, ships and other war needs. They are vital to Victory. That
is why we cannotléeep onbui‘lding to take care of the great increase
in calls. What we” Can do—with your help—is to make the ,most of
the facilities we‘now have, You can help us to help you and the Cause
of Victoryby putting this list of reminders beside your telephone and
making it your guide.

COUNTRY NEEDS A MILITANT MINORITY
While a nation is rapidly uniting behind the Presi-
dent as commander in chief of the war effort, there stilll
agements.
Fully half of the nation is finding cause for complaint
in one way or another with the progress of the war effort,
the jockeying of Congress on vital questions and the fail-
ure of administration to check the abuses that hamper pro-
duction and defense and pad the costs that some day must
be met by “blood, sweat and toil” far into the coming gen-
eration, if indeed, they not repudiated.
\

It must be admitted that the system of checks and
balances intended by our founding fathers, now in the
discard for lack of militant opposition in the weakness of]
the Republicans in Congress and in position elsewhere, is
responsible for the running rampant of new ideas which‘
while they might be “noble experiments” in peace have
no place in wartime.
And by the same token there is great need for a’court, Shelton bakery
proprietor,
change in the face of Congress, if not in a majority at
least in a substantial minority, and of fewer “yes men”;
in all a more representative body to consider the best in-
terests of all the people and of the country as a whole, and
a tabling for the emergency of all plans and schemes for
the future which are not directly concerned with the only
issue of the day—the winning of the war.
WOULD “SOCIALIZE” TIMBER INDUSTRY
Former Governor Pinchot is out with a new plea for'
government control of all forests and timber cutting to
prevent “vast forest destruction brought on by
of war,” which is but another effort to gain control of
the timber industry through “freezing” of private as well
as federal and state timber holdings in an extension of
federal power..

This is no time to bring new complications to an
important defense industry which is going all-out for war
needs and is perhaps the only war industry which is really
the limit in production to meet the government
need for lumber and defense housing; is bearing a huge last week and burial

NEGLECT OF NON-DEFENSE AREAS PAINFUL
The folly
aggravated.
It has been bad enough not to be able to find hous-
ing for the normal and legitimate increase of families due
to expanding local defense-working industries which in
time would be permanent and expand the community in
keeping with its industrial employment and business needs.
But now comes the prospect of call for emergency and‘
temporary housing and care of evacuated
towns in event of their being
sighted in ignoring the many
of restricting building in so-called non-
defense areas like Shelton, and of not allowing at least
the nominal amount of lumber and fixtures to encourage
what little private building there might be, is already
haunting this community and is likely to become more

KNEELAND PARK IN THE RAW
Shelton was complimented by Sunday visitors on hav--
ing such a nice playground as Kneeland Park within its=
.limits, and many offered only mild critcism that the city
officials should do something to improve on the natural
park and encourage its greater use for home folks, as well
as strangers to have their occasional family picnics and
parties. Now that Railroad avenue parking is completed
and in good order attention-should be turned to planning
