NEW ADMINISTRATION

Wrangell voters on Tuesday eX-
pressed very clearly their choice
Ior city officials Iot the coming
year. 1t Is quite one thing to eject
a man to office and another TO
give MIN loyal support after he en-
tiers upon the duties OF that office.
The new council will organize
next week and It's members will
begin serving on various commit
tees. 1t is poor craftsmanship to
eject our fellow townsmen to ad-
minister the affairs OF the city,
oDngating them to give freely and
unseiIlshly of their time and en-
ergy, often to the detriment OF
their business, only to have abuse
and unJustlIied criticism heaped
upon their heads.
1t deYolyes upon every citizen to
support his city officials, both
elective and appointiye, TO lend
them cooperation and understand
ing instead OF abuse and misunder-
standing. We have city admins
tration which is deserving OF our
heartiest support. The men who
are meeting the perplexing prob
lens which inevitably are present
ed in the conduct of public at
fairs have a right TO feel that
they may depend upon cooperation
and support from their fellow
townsmen.

grams. other stations do not car
ry advertising in their programs.
The air is now SO crowded with
radio programs that many desiring
to be assigned a place are told
there is no room for them. People
are allowed to monopolize the air
for their own private gain. An ad-
yertising tax for broadcasting to
do an advertising business should
be levied both because the tax is
a. legitimate one and because it
would give more room for pro-
grams that are not on the air for
personal gain.

State Shortage
 Of Water Reported
Waterbury, However, in No Danger-Ample Supply
 for City

A check-up taken today among several of the larger companies revealed that almost without ex- ception reservoir levels were far below the normal although still at fair heights considering that the end of summer weather is close at hand. Particularly hard hit are the eastern and central areas of the state and sections as far west as New Haven are now taking their water entirely from the re- serve storage supplies instead of from the main reservoirs as usual Many of the reservoir basins have been completely emptied.
 Three years of water shortaS have left the subsoil very dry f.. most parts of Connecticut, so that the current lack of rain has caus- ed cessation of the flow of streams emptying into the reservoirs and seepage from the watersheds in nil Ground water supplies are also re- ported to be generally suffering from shortage.
 The United States weather bu- reau reports that July and Aug ust brought considerable defi- ciency In rainfall. the precipita- ton during that period having been nearly three and one-half inches below the normal and that the precipitation in September was barely equal to the normal, thus bringing the water supply at pres ent to a point even lower than in midsummer. A shortage of even q half an inch in rainfall normally causes drop of several feet in reservoir levels. During the three month period, there have been just 21 days upon which there was rainfall and on most of those days 1t was barely trace.
 This rain failure of the past three months has followed a defi- ciency of approximately two inches in precipitation from May and June, so that since the late spring little or no new water has come into the reservoirs. Ordinarily, October cannot be counted upon to contribute much surplus rain, so. there Is little probability that the current dry situation will be immediately relieved, water com- pany officials say.
 While curtailment in the use of the water supply has not been put in force by any of the larger utili- ties, officials nevertheless urge their customers to cooperate in conserving what water is left by avoiding wastage. This can be done by limiting somewhat the use of water from sprinkling purposes. repairing leaking fixtures and gen erally refraining from needlessly allowing water to run from faucets and fixtures.

Veterans Predict His Nomination At
 Tuesdays Meeting
Friends of Shapiro, yice-C Commander Also Reported Working Hard in His lnterests-Rank and File Stress Need of Quality Commanders

Captain Newton W. Alexander. teacher in the Wilby high school. is being boomed for the office Of commander of Corp Coyie post, American Legion, for the coming year. An ardent legion worker who put in many hours tedious, ef- fort as publicity chairman for the state convention here In August. "Newt" is said to have. the inside track for the commandership.
 It Is expected that other names will be advanced when the nomi- nations are placed in order at Tuesday nights meeting. Friends of Moses D. Shapiro, local letter carrier who holds the office of vice commander. and also an earnest legion worker, are out to put his name forward as candidate for the office.
 Each year, veterans say, the of- flee of commander becomes more important and has attached to 1t certain qualifications that call for leadership, intelligence and fore- sight to a degree that makes selec- ton of an adequate commander a serious task. The legion is grow ing, not only in membership, but in importance as civic body Of wide proportions.

BRITISH EXPERTS INTERESTED IN
 5-DAY WEEK
Watch Move Toward the Proposed Plan in
 United States
BY HERBERT MOORE ,,i.nJ D.aco cfnfY CnrpaSn0n1aJ

Unltcu PfeSS SttH correspondents.
 London, (UP)-Forever amazed by the United States daring fi- nancial and economic moves to rout the depression. British experts are deeply interested in the out come of President Hoover's efforts to fight unemployment with un- mploymcnt--for that Is what the five -day-week proposal amounts to.
 It happens that. just at this time, world discussions of the question of shorter hours of work as on, of the remedies for unem- ployment are occurring as q re- suit of the adoption of a resolu- ton atthe last session of the labor conference in Geneva.
 By means of q shortening of hours, the resolution affirmed, production coulud be adjusted to consumption. available work could be distributed over a large num- Der of persons. and the uncm- ployed could be reabsorbed into employment.
 Widely Discussed
 The European leaders have been discussing the proposad in their own countries, seeking to line up public opion and bring about governmental action.
 In Britain, the five-day week has many advocates in Laborite circles, but their approval is con- ditioned on demand that the worker shall receive his full amount of wages. which economic conditions have prescribed as payable for longer day and a larger output.
 In view of this condition and the rather strong position of Trade Unionism in most of the major industries. the five-day week is not likely to be intro- duced in Britain any time soon unless 1t becomes widely practiced and proves successful in other countries.
 PrOpOrtionatc Wage
 With proportlonate wage reduc- tions, British employers fele. they might undertake such proposal, but only if 1t succeeds elsewhere.
 Not until parliament reassem- bles in October. will there be agitation in behalf of five-day week here. but Laborites are expected to champion the idea t the first opportunity.

The water situation in different towns of Connecticut is beginning to worry officials, but upon inquiry at the water department in this city 1t was learned that the supply Is ample for the season. In this as in most other things 1t appears that Waterbury is in much better condition that most of the other communities in New England.
 The state view follows:
 For the first time this year, of- ficials of Connecticuts wat ter supply public utilities, although expressing no fear of an actual water shortage, today urged citi- zens of the state to make an effort toward conservation in the use of water in order to limit the drain on a rapidly dwindling supply.
