company to prevent the necessary work be- ing done. The condition of the street at this point last week following the heavy rains of Wednesday night were too bad to be ignored any longer. And the same state of affairs existed at least twice before this year. Two successive summer cloudbursts made miniature lakes of Thomaston ave- nue and backed into the cellars of nearby property owners. All vehieular traffic must be rerouted when this occurs. Many auto mobiles are put out of commission by un- familiarity with the depth to which the flood waters reach in the street.
 The city has no other course to follow but to have the engineering department pre- pare plans to make the necessary changes in the drainage system. Waterbury has been lenient with the various trolley companies with which it has done business. In fact there are many people who believe that the city has been too lenent. If in this one in- stance it is the company that is holding up the installation of proper drain at Thom- aston avenue and Homer street then we think that for once the citizens of Watet- bury would like to see different attitude upon the part of our city officials Let's have the job done and done right so that property will no longer be endangered every time we have heavy rainfall.

Lots of Turkey

The turkey. it is evident, is going to be a regular Sunday dish before long in this country instead of being devoted particular ly to one or two great holidays. As the first of the seasons crop appears in the markets. authorities announce that this win ter table quality will be the highest and prices to consumers the lowest in forty years. The federal government reports that 85 per cent more turkey eggs are being matched in incubators this year than last. A great many growers have increased their stock by buying one-day-old turkey chicks from the incubator people.
 Farm prices for turkeys run from 8 to 10 cents pound in some localities. with whole sale prices around 15 or l7 cents and retail prices at g or 25 cents Some families may buy their turkeys on the hoof. which would be hard on wholesalers and retailers. but might save the family enough to make the difference between Thanksgiving turkey with trimmings or without Anyhow, 1t seems certain that there will be turkey sand wiches and turkey dinners and turkey hash all through the winter. With such lot of good birds at such reasonable prices, their field of service will be extended well beyond Thanksgiving day.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-11-14
Slum Difficulties

Slum-eliminating projects multiply New York has already embarked on one. Several other cities are considering the matter. Some have applied to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for funds to use in this form of rebuilding and Uncle Sam may finance them in spite of the cry of Socialism. Cleveland architects have presented, not as an immediately practical proposition, but as an ideal goal, great housing plan to cost S2O0,OOO,000, which would redeem d large area of downtown property now it neither for business nor residence. The sec ton is occupied typically, by conglom- crate mass of citizens of the lower socia. levels and many races living in old. un- painted houses and apartments with Uttered yards and trading in dirty and deereplt stores.
 The plan would sweep away all those acres of ugly dwellings and replace them with modern apartment houses scientifically built for comfort and health, and even beauty, having pleasant parks around them, and safe spots for all the children to play. after the manner of such developments in Germany. They would cost less, on the average, than such residents pay now for their mean quarters.
 It is an admirable kind of planning. and American cities will get around to it eventu- ally. If European example is trustworthy. such projects are economically possible when operated on business basis by private capi- ta if the land can be bought reasonably. Two great difficulties, however loom up whenever such an enterprise is suggested. Objections are made that it will lower other property values, and that when the model tenements are built, people who can afford to live in better homes will crowd in and drive out the slum denizens they were intended for, so that new slum areas will develop.
