Tlio youngsters, refreshed Jiud cnlly fit after tlie lony sinninor vacation, are'in fine shape to take up tliu whicli are so important to Uiuir i'lituru welfare.

Tluit all of thorn may enjoy good health 'nnd spend the school year pleas- nntly and profitably is the sincere wish ot' their parents, relatives and friends. There may ho some hoys and yirls 'who. because of the money they are making- in war plants, have decided not to complete their high school course. They may not realize it now, but. they are making a serious mistake.

The time come when they will wish many times they had remained at school and accjuired a high school education. The jobs they hold today probably will not last long alter the war ends. Meanwhile, they will he passing tip a splendid opportunity for'self-improvement. out of work later, they may find themselves handicapped li'o't possessing a high school diploma. Oiir government'appreciates what they are doing, in.

the war industries, but il them to complete l.heir high 'course. Tt that it will be for their interests to.do so. A CHALLENGE CONNECTICUT MUST MEET 'Connecticut must take thought the future in order to maintain its industrial leadership is pointed out in one of the most timely and interesting articles in the current issue Connecticut Tndutry. The writer, George 0. AValdo.

editor- in-chief of the Post Publishing Co. of Bridgeport, the end of the present war there will be a struggle for industry such as.this nation has never, bo fore known. From one end of the land to the othor, new factories have been greeted with government loans and lavishly equipped with the best of modern imicbinery. Communities which never had local industries are now bcnefitt'mg by war work and planning to retain these industries in some form after the war is over. JOvery inducement, will be offered by such communities to entice Connecticut's industries away and every legitimate fft'ort (a.nd some perhaps not so legitimate) will be made: to lure from the state the skilled who have been trained in Connecticut production methods.

In problem is this: can retain, 'our skilled manpower we can 1 'oui industrial leadership. If we cannot maintain our skilled manpower we shall lose our leadership. behooves us then, as those who love onr state, to take slock of ourselves, find sou what we-are going to do to keep the native skills we possess and to add to them as time goes on." Afr. Waldo, who' is chairman of the Connecticut' Park nnd Forest Commission, writes of some of tlio beauties of Connecticut as only one who loves and admires his state could write. And all that he says is absolutely true.

inspiring article is one that should be read by everyone who has Connecticut's welfare at heart. Mr. Waldo shows that, our state'must meet challenge that will call for serious thought, careful planning and tireless effort, coupled with a strong determination that- -Connecticut shall never People "are''saying the world has to he organized. And may ho a race bo- twecn the politician's and the captains of industry. DO YOU REMEMBER? From The Files Of The News 20 Years Ago Mr.

lui-fe'e si-oup of influential citizens subscribe, whether they know it or not, to Adam Sniilh's laissez-faire ideas about political economy. They believe, for instance, that periods of unemployment arc the fault of the unemployed: it's man's own fault, laziness or lack of initia- vc if he is unemployed. The modern economist recognizes that conditions in the world today have forced u.s to po on past that theory place the responsibility of un- mployment and ius on the I do not know whether this is true or not. I am not a sociologist. I use it only because the term "cultural lag" is so appropriatr.

Indeed of modern science. It is a sheer reversal of the malignancy of leap of man's intellect, imagination and ingenuity. The only accomplishments of man that arc comparable to it arc his discovery that useful plants could be deliberately grown from the proper seeds, that animals can be donics- ticatod, that fire can be controlled for useful purposes and the principle of the wheel and these arc applications ot the bounty of Nature while preventive medicine is, as I say, a reversal of the malignancy of Nature.

It is as meteorologists were able to prevent tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes. And. let us add, the final advantage in tli's field is that thrse particular have been tried so long that we know that they will do exactly what is claimed for them, and they work not haphazardly but the same under all circumstances. Yet in the face of all this there is always a group afflicted with the "cultural anti-vac- cinationists and their crank who going to have his child nllcrl with dead typhoid germs or diphtheria toxbid poison, who continue' to try to oppose these successes of the human genius, These same people fall heavily for such bunk as testosterone to make old men young. But they oppose methods of prevention of diseases that in other days afflicted and killed millions of people all over the world regardless of climate, year round regardless of season.

Antl-Viicclnatlonists To tell a man of the year 1800 that before a century and a half had passed smallpox, diphtheria and typhoid fever would have disappeared from the surface of the civilized earth and would no longer afflict mankind would have been to invite flat incredulity. The mind of that man of 1800 represents today's group of anti-vac- cinationists with the "cultural lag." Typhoid fever is one the best examples.

Russia and China.

But the Allied military high command is making every effort to avoid one pitfall which cost the British, Americans. Canadians and France dearly 20 years ago.

This is the massive, battles east of Paris which took such a heavy toll of men and material. Among these, as World War I veterans recall, were the Meusc- Argonnc, the Somme, the Marnc, Verdun and Belleau Wood.

In 1930 in 78 American cities there were 30,000 cases of typhoid fever and deaths. In IfMO in the same cities with a greatly increased population there-were about 700 cases of typhoid fever and about 120 deaths This has been brought about largely by public sanitation, but individual inoculation is still necessary on account, of the menace of carriers.

It is fair to say that the war against Japan could probably not have been prosecuted, were it not for an ti-typhoid vaccination. During the Spanish War with an an army of 4,000.000, all inoculated against typhoid, we had 1,200 cases and most of these could be traced to careless or incomplete inoculations.
