Tlio aim and purpose at Scout jng — character nnd oitizenshi]) — arc the nini anil purpohe of every dQniotjrnoy'. y i t l iout these two idenl'qimlUios Democracy becomes II shnm — a aiclotorship.
America was wrested ' from a wilderness by a determined pco-pl'i, _ people \v)io )uid flue cbarac-tcri people wlio uiulRrstood the re Rponsibilitics ns well as the privi-ICKCR of citizenship. Therefore it was only natural that llie ideals (if the Scout Movemoiii, ns ex lircRsed in the Scout Oath end law, should meet with such wid'e-spro/ul approval in this country.
SooHtiuR.builds meii! it develops ^oitizenHhip,- (Scontiner 'S A ' " ' eriflaii-^it 'is'us Ainorican as In diou corn, as Ainorican as ice crijam .sodas. Americans accept Scouting hceausn it is continually strengtiieniiiB aiid iuvigovftting dcniQcraey.
^SVERY 'O.THER DAY " A bunch af bum sports," a
milk delivery man was overheard to say yesterday morning pvcr a cup o£ coffee. Not seated iit the si>ine table, only parts of the cou-A'ersation was audible, but such words as dosing CO quarts a day . . . positively ugly about it . . . wouldn't move a ciin of tomato ,iuicc to uutko room I'gr milk a bunch of bum sports , , .

It is quite evident that we are not going to' take our inconveni-enecs gracefully. Wu have been blessed with surpluses beyond Europe's fondest dreams. It takes a war to make us conscious of our blessings,
Wo have jv lot to learn about Hacrifioes, and tires and sugar arc but two of 11)0 necessities yfa must

United Stales has proclaimed Feb, 11 "Thomas Alva Kdison" Day, ailing for a display of tlie flag of
the United States and inviting the licople of America to observe the day in schools, churches and other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies.
Why .slionld such a uniipie honor, held initil now by only two past prosidents of the lluil'cd Stales, be accorded a private citizen 1 What does America owo to Edison that bis birthday should be set aside as one of pid)lic ob-servnnce by Presidential proclamation? Wliy has he hecmnc the Third (Jreiit Son of Fobruoryl
Here'arc a few good reasons; Thomas Alvii Edison, with an
anmzing wizardry for invention, devoted his entire life to fosterinij the welfare of Americans in par-ticular and mankind in general. He helped to make America grenl (ind in so doing he endowed the lives of peoples World wide with added conifort, health and a myriad of conveniences. His inventions have created vast industries, valued at conntlesa billions of dollars and giving lucrative cm ploynjcnt to many millions of Americans in nil walks of life.
Among the greatest of his in ventions is organized research, for out of the nation's great indimlri-al .laboratories wluoh.have sprung from this system come added enrichment, economic and social betterment, the basis of now industries, more productivity of already gigantio American iu.stitu-tions. Uy fathering organized research lidison widened llio horizon of man's potcnlinl nttnin-ment-s beyond Ibe realm of hmmm conjecture, and nmde a groat American greater.
His .birthday is set apart ns ii' tribute — a tribute to the Third (Ircat Sou of Febrnury, and justly so, for in our rush to capture nnd enjoy the bencflts bo created, we have not papscd as long as we should to rc(dizb fully Ibo true greatness of Thomas .Alvn Kilison, to realize the lieritago which lie has handed oji lo us and to fully approeiiile.tlie force for good and progress of pinnkiiid, horn wil|i Edison, l ie is more than entitled, to such homage for he is truly an inspiration for all Americans. He rose to llio lieights of his ability and left behind not only a better world, a greater America in which to live, but the foundations upon which daily progress is being made nnd futiire progress will be made.
Americans can look upon the life of Thomas Alva Edison as a life of conquest Imd achievement —a life of eonque.st over a humble beginning, many .hardships and multiple disappointmciils; and of H(ji)iev'cment of the things worth uuhieving. His way of Ifc embodied all tlie (Inctit idejds of America todayr and Ilia America of tomorrow foij w'hich we hope and tjhould all work.
These reasons arc why he is the Third Qront Son of February —-and of America. We should all recognize our debt to Thomas A. Kdison and pay humble homage by remembering his birthday and a day for thanksgiving.

By E. C. AND N. H. CARPENTER • „ l
THIS SCRAP ON OUR HANDS Five hundred pounds of scrap rubber are needed for every me
dium lank, A batlle-ship may contain ns much ns 9000 tons of scrap metal. Ten thousand tons of wn.ste paper will be needed this year to make nmmunition coiitniucrs alone. Three miles of copper wire go into n modern bomber.
Facts like tlicsc make it clear wliy we Americans must begin to «uvo materials as we never have before. Government officials say that salviige ojlerations will piny an important part in wjiiniiig the war. Onr iiidutdries are expanding at such a rate that Ihey .will need vast quantities of scrap to keep them going full blast, making weapons, and it's up to us to see that they get it.
Salvage campaigns are being orgnnixed throiigboul the country to gather material of this kind. Every one of us can help in these oollectinn drives. Every one of us bus scrap of sonic sort that he can contribute. If you've been saving things just in case they might conic in handy, they might come in linndy now for Uncle .Sam, And if you haven't been saving, now is the time to start.
ONE AMERICA "AVe face a period of consumer rationing of every article v.diiidi
requires an appreciable quantity of strategic raw materials. " W V Y C barely begun to saeriiicP, and while it may find ns soft
a t first, we've eomo from utrimg forebeurK, and thotavis lu) fear, in mind that Ainercans can take i t ."
Tint 's straight talking, and it comes from William P . Withcrow, President of the National Associnlion of Manufacturers, a man in a ])0.sillon to know what,he's talking about. In a receni speech he warned us Aniericuns of the trials abend, nnd he called for unlimited oo-opcration " in deed, in fact, oml in every action" lo meet the test,
"Hiilf-baked sophistries niu.sf be out for the duration. This war is no pink ten or socinl bazaar. . . .
"Speed of prodnution is the essence of victory. Tlie rules of the gumc can not bo changed it we are not to encourage defeat. . . .
"For us there is just one America, and as one people we must protect that land of free men against tlie encroachment of enemies to freedom — armed or otherwise — so that these United States and HU thoy .symbolize may endure for us and our posterity."
LIBERTY Just now I cannot recall who it
was who said: "O liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name"! For centurjes it has been one of the watchwords that bos led men on, often to war and many times to great ind.heroic deeds, and .sometimes to savage fcxtravagence and crimes. But whatever the mistakes and crimes that have been committed in lu name, it has ever been a .glorious ideal, and the human race" win never be content until it is realized in all of its -fullness. I suppose It is a fortunate thing that the Issue is at last becoming clear In this present struggle. It Is something like this: Shall we turn back to feudalism, when a tew of the great shut themselves Into their castles and ruled the rest by fear nnd brutal force and bloodshed, denying that anyone else had any rights that they were bound to i-especl? Some were born to greatness and. power, the rest to poverty, obedience, and the services of the grejit.
Let us remember that America was tlie first great nation to seriously challenge that notion, and to proclaliri that "all men are created free and equal."

This idea of liberty has never, even In our country, been, completely establl^h-pd. But in spite of the carping and the "fault-finding and the selfish and the shiftless, iri no country has the ideal been so fully realized as here. I remember a little Italian friend who haa been in this couritry about 15 years. He was often speaking of the Italy that he remenibered, arid was anxious to go back and see It again.

Many farmers will be liable for filing Income tax returns and payment of tax for the first tirhe this year. The term "farmers" includes livestock raisers, fruit and truck growers, nnd operators of plantations and ranches.
.Farmers rnay maintain their re-. corjds and file theh: returns of income on either the . cash receipts and disbursements basis or on the accrual basis of accounting. A consistent method must, however, be employed. If a cash basis is u.sed, Fprm 1040F, "Schedule of Farm Income and Expenses," is required to be filled out and filed in con-

This .year, the President of the
War Production Board oftlclalf are relieved that America is meeting tire rationing with its chin up.
In addition to the rationing o! new tires, it Is anticipated here that retreading will soon be rationed. For the consumer this mean; that the use of automobiles will become "more and more Infrequent as the war progresses. It mcam also that delivery services will b( curtailed.
Of great concern to the Qovern-ment and industry Is the matter o) how tire rationing will affect Industrial workers—how many o( IheiTi find their cars essential to get them to and from work. A survey of the nation's car- owners shows that driving Is the most usual way of getting to work Forty-five per cent of American workers (cxculd-Ing farmers) drive to work or ride
with someone else. Of the workers who normally arrive at the Jobs by automobile, ISVc stated that they :ould get there by some other means. This leaves 2T/P of the American workers with an impor-;ant problem to meet.
Businessmen here anticipate that the Industrial employee will bo iifectca in still another way by the rationing of tires. They expect that Industry will resort to the stag, jerlng of working hours In order to relieve transportation shortages when car and bus line take over itter the autos quit.
Qovernment agencies Ih this city have been staggering the hours of iirrlval, lunch and' departure of their employees for .some time now. Traffic officials feel that this system has helped a good deal in relieving congestion and shortages.
Federal government was introduced by Representative Vinson, chairman of the House Naval Aftab-s Committee. More than a year ago, a government report recommended registration of trade associations, but did not Include labor unions. '
Mr. Vinson's committee. In the course of an investigation into naval defense contracts, found that the wheels of progress had com pletcd an entire cycle. "The tremendous financial gains made by labor organl:uitlons during the period of the defense effort," the Committee reported, "and the vast amount of funds and a.ssets hi their treasuries present an astounding picture of concentration of wealth, a situation heretofore usually associated with Industry and finance."

source of some alarm here. The feeling is aggravated by the shelving of the House anti-strike bill in Senate Committee. At first the reason given for Inaction was that industry and labor ought to have a chance to settle the question of defense strikes by themselves. The President's man agre^ent-labor conference of several weeks ago was the chosen medium. The continued Inaction is now explained on the theory that the new 'War Labor Board should be given a chance to prove its ability to handle the need for uninterrupted war production.
However, ntany Congressmen feel that positive legislation Is needed in any event The 'Vinson bill is regarded by those circles as an attempt to legislate on one phase of an undesirable situation.

THE ALL- TOO- COMMON COLD "Colds" qre still one of the great
est banes of human existence—nnd one cf the most tragically unsolved mysteries of medical science.
Each year millions of hours are lost from work because of colds. In war lime this is doubly serious, for every hour counts. Children lose days each year from school because of colds.
And what is worse, thousands of people die premature deaths each 'year from "secondary infections" like influenza nnd pncumonln, which invade their bodies while 'thoy are in a weakened condition because of a cold.

What is a cold? Although we do not yet kno\v exactly what causes a cold, the prospect that medical science Is at last on the brink of finding a true preventive has never been brighier than j t is today. It may be that an effective vaccine will be developed soon ,that will kill the "cold" virus. There are certain encouraging indications that this may be so.
As early as 1314 science put forth the theory that a cold was primarily caused by a "filterable virus." a poisonous organism smaller In 5i?.c than a body cell and so low In the living scale that It seemed to be with out life.
It could not be seen, even under a microscope. It could not be heard, smellcd, touched, tasted. Isolated— or held by a filter. Indeed, nothing was known about it except its etfecls.
Yet .it was proved In scientific ex-. pcriments that the cold virus could reproduce itself with astonishing rapidity. Tlius it was eventually established that it actually lived and was to be reckoned with as a dangerous organism.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINTS
If Influenza Should Strike
-By Dr- lames A. Tobey-
Di Jamoa A. Toboy
•jpvURING the first World War, \j when Influenza was epidemic, an incident'occurred In Macedonia which gave a clue to the
_ control Of this *^ disease.
Two regiments v/ere encamped together. One had recently returned, from a malarious region, where the men had been taking 5 grains of quinine dally as a
prophylactic against this mos-qulto-bomo malady. No quinine had been given to the men in the other regiment.
When influenza struck In the autumn of 19X8, only about 1 per cent of those in the quinine-dosed regiment contracted the disease, whereas nearly 800 men In the other regiment came down with It.
This clue was followed up with a number of clinical studies on the value of quinine In the control of influenza, which conlinned its asefulness.but did not reveal the reason. Further research'on this matter is necessary.
Sliice no other drug has been shovm to be particularly valuable
in influenza cases, and the new vaccines are npt yet fully developed, the use of, quinine would seem to ofl'er hope tor the control of many or most cases, al- . though apparently It does not '; prevent or alleviate all cases, even ! when given In the customary \ amount of 5 to .6 grams dally, divided into two equal doses, taken at night and hi the morning.
'Wlien Influenza occurs, as indicated by such abrupt symptoms as chill, fever, catarrh, headache, sore throat, and aches and pains m the body, by far the best place for the suSerer to be is In a warm bed, where he should remain until the disease is over. Influenza itself is not so dangerous as the complications, such as pneumonia.
Plenty of fluids such as hot milk, tea, and lemonade, are desirable for Influenza patients, who also need bland diets, include ing milk toast, enriched white bread; fruit juices, and soft-cooked eggs.
Prevention of hilluenza Is difficult, but something can be achieved by avoidance of crowds v/hen flu Is prevalent, by keepbig up body resistance through proper diet and rest, by avoldmg chilis and fatigue, and by the use of suitable prophylactics, such as quinine.

Everybody knows that "getting our fcet'Wet" or .being insufficiently '.clothed is often followed by catch-Ingcold. Yet how many of us always avoid ohilling oiir bodies by wearing too few clothes?
How many of us never get our feet wet, or when -we do—how many of us drop everything and hurry home to change right away to dry socks and shoes?
We arc—so many of us— willing to take a chance. How many of us always avoid getting .in a draft? One of the easiest ways to catch cold is to sleep hi a draft. We shoud have plenty ot fresh air during' the day and the night, but never in the form of a draft.
Many people help ward off colds by carefully avoiding people who are sneezing, coughing or blowing thelrnoses. It take couago sometimes to get Up and move away from somebody with the sniffles, but I've seen many people do it, just to be safe.
Resistance to any infection, including the cold, is built up in the human body by getting plenty of sleep. Sleep refreshes and "tones" the body and helps fortify the body's own defense .against the invasion of germs.
Eating the right kind of foods also helps keep the body healthy and vigorous, "your own doctor is In the best position ot anybody in the world to "tell you what diet best suits you arid your family. He can tell you the Importance of getting your full cuota ot vitamins, minerals, and other food values in such foods as milk, fresh fruit, leafy veeetables,- eggs meat, etcetera. Consult him about it.
Regular exercise and. plenty of fresh air and sunshine also help keep the body in tone and resistant to colds.
When you feel that "chilly" sensation coming over you that so often warns of a coming cold, there is a simple exercise to do that starts the blood circulating and often wards off'the cold.
And that W: Take ten deep breaths to the full capacity of your lungs. Rise slowly on your toes breathe deeply, slowly—all the way Ui. Slide your hands slowly up over your hips to your ribs, throwing your shoulders back and your chest cut as ypu do. Breathe out again slowly as you return from the tip-toe position.
Some people say that because of this simple exercise that anybody can do, they seldom If ever have a cold. And there is evidence tp support the effectivene.5s of this preventive measure.

'Different physicians suggest dlf-tererit treatments for different patients under different circiimslan-Ces, but It is generally agreed that drink ing plenty of.li.o.uids.is good for you when yqu are catching' or have caught a cold. The theory here, of course is to help 'wash away" the cold organism.
The juice of fresh fruits Is also generally.considered iielpful. Fruit juices 'alternated with plenty 'of water between time is usually off caclous.
Another way to help wash away the cold organism Is to take a laxative, but only under your physician's instructions., '

Worst Driving Weather Ahead Asserts Bulletin
The worst winter driving weather may still be ahead, Coiinectlcut drivers were warned In a motor vehicles depar tment bulletin today.
V/lnter Is here for some time to come,'" It was pointed out, and hazardous conditions always during or Immediately after snow or sleet storms. WlndsHlel^T! wipers and de frosters t h a t donitl. operate lead to wiriter accidents. Make sure wipers and defrosters arei ln good working order. ^
If you leave your car out a t n ight slip a piece of cardboard under the windshield vjlper to prevent the windshield from frosting over. Re-wlndshleld and .^from the side move tiny frost o&j snow from the windows also before s ta r t ing out. Clear driving vli^lon is a "first" In any kind ot weather."
Drivers were asked to remember tha t It takes three to 11 t imes normal distance to stop a car on snow or ice; t h a t anti-skid chains should be used when snow or Ice prevails; t ha t chains on rear wheels reduce stopping distances 40 to 50 percent and provide needed traction to s t a r t a\}d-climb hills.
When one reads of an air raid, one th inks of thres kinds of bombs t h a t may be dropped upon the area two, three or even four miles below. These three kinds are the high explosive bomb, the incendiary bomb, and the gus bomb. The air raid warden mus t know what to expect on those visitations and what to do about them.
So tar as gas Is concerned, his task is likely to be fairly easy; not because gas is a t all an easy customer to deal with but because the chance of a gas at tack is extremely unlikely. Gas Is not only a difficult but an extremely expensive mater ial to deliver by bomb, and In America's wide open .spaces the c h a n ces of anything like a measurable military advantage to the enemy are exceedingly remote. Pure dovil Ishness might. Indeed, prompt some such malicious at tack, but tha t kind ot devllishness Is too costly to be Indulged In when every material re.TOurce is required tor military advantage, to say nothing of the terribly hazardous consequences from reprisals which would cer ta inly be invited by such a raid.
One may wonder whether so complaisant an at t i tude Is Justified when we consider such congested areas as New York City. Certainly there would be a messy situation In the streets it gas arrived. But the gases are heavier t h a n air (otherwise they would soon dissipate, like s team) and thus tend to hug the ground. Upper stories would bo virtually Immune, and ground floors would be adequately sealed by ordinary closed • doors and windows. The warden would have his Job, surely enough, but as was said above, It would be relatively easy.
Tha t is not to be said ot high explosive. There, we have Just three things to do, It a building is struck. First, count off the direct-hit victims as a closed affair. Second, rescue, t h e Injured- a n d i other people t rapped in the ruins. Third, see t ha t the shaken structures surrounding the destroyed a rea are promptly and completely evacuated, and tha t First Aid is made av-

Road to Observe Wartime Changes
When citizens thoughout t h e n a tion advance their clocks and watches one hour at 2:00 A.

Women everywhere are jfinding extra time to devote to the worthy programs of the Red Cross, Volunteer Nurses, .and Civilian Defense organizations • by letting electrical servants shoulder the burdens of housework. Not only do they save time to give to their country in this great emergency but they conserve energy and health.
Of the many electrical servants for the home the electric vacuum cleaner is one of the most popular. Besides saving time and work it prevents additional work of frequent dusting. If you do not have an electric cleaner that is working satisfactorily and cannot be repaired to do so, you still have an opportunity to place one of these great little helpers in your home.

UConn Freshmen To Play Yale Frosh February 11
The UConn Frcshmon hasket-ball teavi noilt play the Yale IrcsKmen in a curtain raiser at 0;4S on the Uth, TMs Same has just beon arranged by phone.
The UConn'Huskies led by Coach Don Wlilte leave for Orono, Me.j oii Friday morning to enBagc the Un-' Iverslty of Maine in tho second of their annual scries Ibc first of ,which was won by Oonnootlout,-58 'to 4B, as Starrs. On Saturday night the.team .plays a return cngago-r mcnt with Now. Hampshire at Durham. Connecticut won tho first encounter with New Hampshire, 67 to 33. Connecticut should return from this'northern invasion with two victories to add to their present record of Ave wins and three losses. However, past reports show that both Maine and New Hampshire are dangerous on their homo courts and it is Impossible to predict thooutcome of either game.
Connecticut basketball fans are looking forward to tho renewal of tile'Vale series when Coach Don White's Huskies weet the Bulldog on Tuesday evening, February 10, at'New Havon. On tho basis of comparative scores this g a m e should be a natural as Vale defeated Brown two we^ks ago, 57 to 56, and Brown was victorious over Con nectlcut in the first game of the season by a score of 60 to 48. It wlii be Interesting to see how the break offense of Don Wliltc's squad upon whlcli he has relied to date,
' will effect the zone defense of Coach Ken Loeffler"s Yale team also, how effectively the Oonneott-cut defense can stop tho brilliant long-shot, foUow-in offense put on by Ingloy and Vogt, the two sharp shooters of the Yale team, and. the foljow-lng of Cnpt.'eeelbdcic,'Wl'ight man and Morton.-Scelbaok, Wrlghtr man and Morton all tower above six feet and ail'are taller than the tallest man that' Connecticut can muster.
Connecticut, In eight ganies to date, has accumulated 415 points for an average of 52 points per game against their opponents' 302, an average of 45, which,gives some idea of their ofcnslve ability. They have beon relying on a fast break offensive but have in recent games employed a defense all over the floor which'has provn valuable to them. The team is comppsed of four seniors "and a junior,* the average height of the four seniors being not more than 5 ft., 10 ins. The only man In the starting, lineup over 6 ft. Is Jim Connors, the back guard, wlWimeoBures-O.ft,, 2 In, Sam Jaskilka of Ansonla is the leading scorer' to date with 04 points, while: Nick VerblUo, senior center from New'London, Is second with 80; Fedele Mugavero of New London third witli 88; Capt. John Winzler of Manchester fourth with
02; and Vlncc Cuddy of Naugaluck fifth with 24 points.
Tho Connecticut student body and alumni arc expected to turn out In full force for this game,( weather conditions permitting. A University band of 35 pieces, cheer loaders and all the rest that goes with a typical University of Connecticut' basketball game win make the trip to the Payne Whitney aymnaslum on Tuesday for what Is hoped to be one of' tho biggest Connecticut basketball nlfehts in the University's history. 'Yale University athletic autliorltles have done everything possible Ih.arrang-Ing for the comfort and cnn'cnl-ence of tho UConn followers arid it Is expected that, all those altunnl and Connecticut fans who have been denied admission to the home games at Storrs will turn out.

Meanwhile, MacPartland's charges are eager to retaliate for the defeat they suffered at the hands of the Hornets two weeks . ago, and thoy vow they'll be out to take the sting out ol the Kncchtmen.

By the looks of the advance notices this game promises to be a thriller from start to finish so try and take it In.
Addedto the excitement of tlie game will be the efforts of the outstanding cheerleadlng squads In the state to cheer their team on to victory. Come on and give them a; hand. I'll see you; there.

New Bob Hope Tune Comedy At Paramount
Transferred immediately to the screen after a long and suc-ce.>isful career on the Broadway stage and on the rond, "Louisiana Purchase," Paramount ' s Tcclml-colpr film version of the musical laugh h i t opens today a t tho Parn-tnr.i..if Tbeiitrc. •Tt"s bigger, belter and funnier t h a n the stage sliow by lar, advance critics claim.
For us moviegoers who are ever-hungry tor t l rs t - rate ontertaln-ment, the news tha t "Louisiana Purchase" Is on its way Is mighty welcome. The tact t ha t the s tars ot the new celluloid carnival ot ontor-la lnment are Bob Hope, Vera Zorlna and Victor Moore, makes the coming showing somotl^ing to bo looked for. Supporting these stars are Irene Bordonl, Donn Drake, Raymojid Walburn and Maxle Rosenblooni. And, in tlie film, too, are those wldely-heraldecl dimpled dollies, the Louisiana Lovelies, who sing, dance, and knock your eye out.. To 'make things still more enticing, tho tunes heard In the picture were writ ten by t h e Incomparable Irvln Berlin. The three top numbers are "Tomorrow Is A Lovely Day," "You're Lonely and I'm Lonely and 'Louisiana Purchase".
Otlier interesting and pleasing in formation is t h a t the same man who produced t h e comedy musical on Broadway also produced the screen version— Buddy De Sylvn. Irving Cummlngs, who has a long list 'ot film successes to his credit including several. Technicolor opuses and musicals, did the megaphone job on "Louisiana Purchase."
J^ew Orleans serves as the locale of the stpry, which concerns the comic activities of a political band, whose innocent diipe, Bob Hope, finally wises up to their activities. Bob enlists the aid of Zorina, and, with t h e beautiful dancer, tu rns the tables on Victor Moore, a baggy-trousered crusader out to prosecute the milletactors., ,
Needless to say, tlie accent is on comedy, music and the parading of gorgeous femininity. Rest assured t h a t the accent will be enjoyable with Bob Hope as tho innocent dupe, who Is perfect for this sort of fm-i-rnaklng ,^.ith,, Ijeautilul-i Vera Zorina and comic Victor Moorel
Local film fans should have a grand time a t "Louisiana Purchase," with its stars, songs, sweeties and stpry, .tested and proved already as a h i t show for 58 weeks on Broadway.
The CO feature Is "Moon Over Her Shoulder" with Lynn Bari and John Sutton.
