Furthermore. another weakness in the
German situation was overeXpanSion OF
German industries during the recon-

situation can best be cured by open

Naturally these measures, like the
Bruening submission" to the French in

courage again and are loudly repeating
charges about the fulflllment policy's

step into the place of people like Dr.
Bruening, who are responsible for the
calamity
This does not apply to the National
Socialists. who continued during the

that blithe ignorance Of economics,

Opposition to
 Filling Station
Hearing on Petition'W Be Heard Friday Night

Opposition to the establishment of gasoline station at the junction of Southmayd and Meriden roads across from Pine Grove Cemetery and the Mill Plain Union church, is expected to develop Friday night when a hearing takes place before the zoning board of appeals. It is understood that one of the large gasoline companies have bought the land providing a permit for a gasoline station can be obtained.
 Under the zoning ordinance adop- ted in Waterbury no gasoline sta tion can, be erected within 200 feet of a church. The zoning board must grant permission and must hold a hearing on the matter.
 Therefore, Friday night has been named as the date for the hearing Charles J. DeBisschop, a trustee of the Mill Plain Union church, and others are expected to appear and oppose the petition, according to reports.
 The land involved is considered a valuable business tract, especially for use as filling station, in view of its location at the junction of Meriden and Southmayd roads. However, failure of the zoning board to approve the petition will prevent the use of the land for filling station purposes.

WALTER BOWERS
 AT ROTARY CLUB
Gave Lecture on How to Improve Appearance
 of the Home
SET OUT FLOWERS

Much depends on the proper land- scaping of land adjoining a home. as this can make the house look many times more presentable if done properly said w. Walter Bowers, landscape engineer. speaking at the meeting of the Rotary Club this noon at the Elton on Principles of Good Landscape Designing"
 When one starts out to beautify the grounds about his home. he should consider first whether the property should he open for view. whether there is desired grading operations or much planting.
 Then what should be given some consideration are the plans next door. to determine whether they should be exposed or cut off from view.
 The arrangement of the rooms in the house and the approach to the house should also be taken into con sideration he said
