THE CITY SHOULD
 HAVE REAL CLEANUP
No Scarcity of Work for All Unemployed in the
 City
GOOD TIME TO START

Many are wondering what will be-
 come of all the unemployed" who have been working at different places during the past few weeks, when the plan of raising funds to pay them ceases. It is generally be- lieved that it would be a wise pol l icy to continue the system now in use until such time as business im- | proves in the factories and there will be openings for most of the , men if no. in the shops i n other | places.
 There is no lack of work for all
 these men in the parks, city streets l and town roads, but the question is | asked where will the money come
 from to enable those who have the matter in hand to see that they are
 paid every week. One might answer this by inquirlng how it was raised since the plan was introduced. The average wage earner did not con- tribute much to the fund, and it is doubtful if anybody has found fault about his share of the expense why not keep these men at work | and have a real cleanup in Water bury. There are more tin cans, bot ties. bed springs, mattresses and other truck in the lots close to pri-
 vate residences than these men
 could collect from now until the l first of July. In the opinion of peo-
 pie who have due regard for proper
 sanitation, it would pay to have all
 this stuff gathered ur and deposited where it would not be a source of
 danger to the community as soon as
 the warm weather sets in. Unless
 some plan like this is carried out
 nothing worth while will be accom- | plished towards the kind of cleanup | Waterbury ought tc have in that | direction. To do this it is not neces-
 sary that anybody should be haled
 into court. All it means is some ex-
 pense and thorough inspection. Just
 new one hears much about making
 Waterbury better place to live in
 While the discussion is on it would
 be well to give some attention to the
 reed of better sanitation, some
 thing which will never come until
 tfe city proviues means of disposing
 of the accumulation of refuse such
 as collected in every city and un-
 less cared for soon becomes a menace to public health.

Aimed directly at the small army of 'ice cream pie" vendors, almost without exception youngsters of about 14 years of age. the health board at it's meeting last evening voted to have a committee draft 4an amendment on the ordinance dealing with the inspection of food handlers to include these kiddies. This is to eliminate the possibility of the boys vending ice cream pies without first having been inspected for cleanliness and communicable disease.
 A letter from the Chamber of Commerce. which stated that it is not the intention of the chamber to hurt these youngsters or to pre- vent them from making little money. but to make it possible for them to vend their products appro- priately dressed and not in an un- Kempt, dirty and at times filthy

city engineer and the school house committee after looking into this matter believed that it is necessary to take such step and he knew they would not have done so unless there were good reasons for such a step. Commissioner Dochelli said he saw no reason why there should be any discussion on the matter, add ing that it was but reasonable to take the ground that the mayor had given this due consideration and did lot make such a recommendation without good reason. He moved that the recommendation be ap- proved. The motion was carried
 On recommendation of the vl- mittee on teachers, the resignation Of Miss Gertrude Costello, a grade teacher, was accepted. A long list of recommendations of the commit tee on activities. including authori- zation for the Telephone company. to give lessons on the dial system, in the schools, was approved.

Mellicent Pond
 At Wilby High
Guest Speaker To-day on Need of Arithmetic in
 Business World

Dr Millicent Pond was the guest speaker at the assembly conducted session room 102. The subject of discussion was "The Need of Arith- nletic in the Business World" Dr Pond explained the necessity of mathematics especially in the line of work with which she has dealt in the Scovill company.
 The cost, material and time on any piece of work must be es- timated in figures and a yearly re- port is also required in all business houses. Without the use of arith- metic it is doubtful whether any line uf industry or accomplishment could be successful. The subject proved to be of much interest to the pupils as Business Arithmetic has been established as one of Wilby high schools main studies.

BISHOP CANNON INDICTED

Bishop James Cannon, Jr, was in
dicted before the District of Columbia
supreme court, October 10, on a charge
of conspiring to violate the federal cor
rupt practices law. Miss Ada L. Bur-
roughs, treasurer of the Headquarters
committee Anti-Smith Democrats" in
Virginia, was also indicted on the same
charge.
The basis of the indictment was al
legged failure to report contributions to
the Anti-Smith campaign fund of Vir-
ginia in 1928 Both Bishop Cannon and
Miss Burroughs gave bond and an early
trial is promised by District Attorney
Wilson.
Bishop Cannons attorney, Robert H.
McNiell, expressed confidence "a full
and open hearing when all the facts can
be brought out will vindicate the con-
duct of Bishop Cannon and his associ-
ates"
The grand jury hearing followed an
investigation by Senator Nye's commit
tee of charges preferred by wet leaders
of congress.
An Associated Press dispatch, carry
ing a date line of October 21, reported
that Bishop Cannon has asked to be re-
lieved "for the present" of his duties as
bishop of the Brazilian and Belgian
Congo conferences.

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIA-
TION PROHIBITION POLL

EsszsThe American Bar Association, meet
isg in Atlantic City last month, was in
Formed by President Boston, of New
York, that the poll of the membership
conducted by mail, last year, on proh-
bition resulted in vote of 13,799 for re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amendment to
5,625 against repeal.
A number of the newspapers, report
ing the convention, carried a story on
this referendum which gave the impress
sion that the vote was taken at the con-
vention. This was not the case. There
were 1,727 members present at the con-
vention, about J per cent of the member
ship, and no vote on the question was
taken. There are over 10000 members
in the association, about one-sixth of the
total number of lawyers in the country.
The vote of the American Bar Associ
alton, therefore, cannot be taken as an
accurate estimate of the sentiment of the
lawyers of the country. Moreover, about
SO per cent of the membership comes
from the cities where wet sentiment is
strongest.
