Crippled Woman Needs Help.

Although Mrs. H. had been separated
from her husband for several years be-
cause he refused to support the family
and was extremely cruel to her and the
children, she was happy and thankful
that she was able to support her chill
dren by working as salesWoman. The
family lived in a small and simply fur
niShed but comfortable apartment, and
by careful management Mrs. H. was
able to supply the needs of herself and
the three children When they returned
home from school each child had his
own tasks to do SO that mother would
not have to work so hard"
Then came that unfortunate morning
when Mrs. H.. about to board street
car, was struck by a speeding automo-
bile. After long weeks of pain and
suffering in the hospital she was al
lowed to return home. The doctors
were able to avoid amputation, but
there is little hope the leg will ever
return to work and it is just recently
that she has begun to walk with the
aid of a cane. There are days when
the pain is so intense she is barely
able to get about, but in spite of her
handicap the small home is spotless
and the children's meals ready when
they come from school. Clara, who has
two more years in high school, can
hardly wait until she is able to work
and help care for her mother and two
younger brothers. The sum of 5000 is
needed to keep this family together for
another year.

Fruits of Unemployment.

Mr.. Thomas is a skilled artisan (col
ored). He provided well for his wife
and six children until the depression
came and he joined the army OF the
unemployed. He had excellent refer
ences from former patrons, but they no
longer had work to offer him. He
trudged the streets day by day in vain
search for employment. Worry for his
wife and children finally broke down
his health. A spirit of independence
still kept him from asking help until he
was faced with an eviction notice.
Then he asked for help. The
damage, however, was already done.
A physical examination of the mother
and children showed that Mrs. Thomas
must go to the tuberculosis Hospital
and four of the six children were found
to have tuberculosis of the Juvenile type.
The task before the social worker is
now to restore the courage and hope of
the man and to assure Mrs. Thomas
that while she is in the hospital the
daughter, herself now out of employ
ment, is taking the mothers place in
TIE home and giving excellent care to
her younger brothers and sisters. Money
is needed for rent. milk and other
nourishing food, medical supplies in
cluding cod liver oil, carfare for five
people to and from the Public Health
Clinic and incidentalS. A minimum
budget to restore this family to hope
and health is S21 week. or at least
s546 for the next six months or until
Mr.. Thomas can recover his strength
so that if there is no job he can apply
for work relief to the Emergency Bureau
of the Board of Public Welfare.

Pension Is insufficient.


This family consists of a man, his
wife and four children. The man Suf-
ferS from a disability which prevents
him from working. For this disability
he draws a pension which partly takes
care of his expenses. The children are
sickly and seem to need constant medi-
cal care. Because of this illness, the
mothers entire time is taken up in car
ing for them.
The man has made every possible ef-
fort to overcome his difficulty, but Is
unable to do SO. A comparatively small
amount, $240, will supplement his in

CROSS REFUSES
 TO BACK SCHEME
 TOB0OST PRICES
Farmers National, Inc, Wanted to Form Agri= cultural Union = Can't Fix Prices, Says Cross

Hartford. Conn, Oct 4-CU. P.) -Governor Wilbur l.. Cross re- fused to-day to endorse the Farm CTS National Association, Inc, an organization established at Nor wich for the purpose of enlisting the nations farmers in sort of ag- ricultural labor union to force higher prices for farm products.
 The governor warned that price fixing for commodities is doomed to failure due to the law of supply and demand and hinted the only suit of the organization might be the collection of $50,000 or more from farmers.
 The governor explained his views in a letter to Richard s. Havern of Norwich, president of the Farm CTS National. Havern and other officials of the group had confer red with the governor recently In an effort to gain his endorsement for their plan to fix a flat rate for milk which would increase the re- turn to the farmers who produce the milk by several cents.
 Regarding the proposed flat rate, the governor wrote:
 "It is my opinion that this vision could never be realized. .... Il am not aware that any attempt to fix the price of commodity has ever succeeded in the long run"
 The flat rate would increase the return of those close to market but might cause loss to others far from market, Governor Cross pointed out.
 "I cannot endorse your plan and encourage you in promoting an or ganization which might result only in the collection of s50.000 or more in fees from the farmers of Con- necticut," he concluded.

 BEARS FISH DIET

Kansas City, Mo, October 4 - (UP) - Even the polar bears are suffering. That's what the depression has done here. Let N. T. (Tex) Clark, local ZOO keeper, tell the story:
 "With fish at 15 cents a pound," said Clark, "we just can't afford to pamper tho appetites of these two polar bears.
 "So we cut up horse meat, which we feed the other ani- mals, into strips that look like fish and dip the strips in cod liver oil that smells like fish. "The bears think it's fish, I guess"
 He paused, smiled, and con- tinued:
 But not for long. When they get used to horse meat. we plan to eliminate even the cod liver oiI."

ALDERMEN PLAN FOR
 ELECTION
N a m e Committee for Establishment of Voting Booths - Mayor Offers Ordinance Banning Dis= charge of Oils, Gaso= line, Etc, Into Sewers

First steps in preparation for the coming state and national cleo ton were taken last night by the board of aldermen. A special com mittee consisting of Aldermen Ernest P. Belval, George R. Guil- foile and Charles Schmidt was named and instructed to confer with Registrars of Voters Thomas Dillane and Henry O'Connor rela- tive to the establishment of list of voting places. This list will be adopted at an adjourned meeting of the board October 21st.
 In all, 20 polling places must be designated, one for each of the 20 voting districts in the city. In every case where it is possible the fire houses and school gymnasiums will be utilized. In districts where these are not available or too far out of the way stores will be rented for election day.
 Last nights meeting of the al- dermen brought much business be- fore the members. An ordinance was offered by Mayor Frank Hayes which would prohibit the discharge of gasoline, oils or other inflam- mable or corrosive fluids into the city's sanitary sewers under a pen- alty of $50 fine or 30 days in jail., Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor had been working on the ordinance for the past four months It is similar to ordinances now in effect in other cities.
 Mayor Hayes explained to the board in a communication and through Democratic Leader Guil- foile that great danger exists for men working in the sewers for the city due to the presence of gases generated by the oils, gasoline and other infiammable liquids. The sewers also suffer considerably from corrosive liquids

PROTEST PARADE | OF IOWA FARMERS
 SHOWS DISCONTENT
Slogans Displayed on Posters Reveal Bitter Feeling Towards Hoov= CT and Curtis
BY RAY BLACK.

'Des Moines, Ia, Oct 4.-(UP)- A protest parade of several hum dred striking farmers marched to- day from the state capitol through downtown Des Moines, gaily dec orated with flags and bunting for the arrival of President Hoover.
 The farmers, most of them in overalls and jackets, rode in trucks. The parade moved from the East Plaza of the capitol, where they had stood in a chilling northwest wind for more than an hour.
 As the parade moved away from the capital, recruits Hooked in un- til it was estimated there were r. 900 blue-clad farmers in the long line of livestock trucks.
 Tn the forefront were two farm CTS on mules. The men-Don Howard and Bob Anderson-wore placards reading "here is where Hoover put us"
 You can have the mules after the parade" shouted Howard. we can't afford to feed 'em."
 That sally. half testing. half bit ter, revealed the temper of tho farmers. Their repartee was gay enough but it thinly masked a grim determination. The parade itself was an ironic pageant. with the im- port of discontent flaming from the banners and told in pantomime.
 Typical slogans were:
 Hoover, Hyde. Hell and Hard Times.
 "we Don't Want Loans; They Mean More Debts"
 "Mr Curtis-We're Not So Damned Dumb in 1932--Signed: Mir and Mrs Iowa Farmer"
 That slogan was prompted by Vice. President Charles Curtis re. ported "You're-too-damned-dumb" rejoinder to n heckler In an Iowa audience who demanded explana- ton of his stand on the farm ques- ton.
 others read: Beat Hoover and Eat" Tn the c. Q. P. We Trust. cd: That's Why We're Busted and we Demand . Special session or Congress"

Voting in the small towns of the fifth congressional district Sssasters day, which showed a decidedly re- publican trend despite close runs in several communities between the two major parties, was the basis of much political specula- ton here to-day. Congressman E.. w. Goss, the g. o. p. nominee for reelection to congress, was jubi- lant; Judge Martin E. Gormley of Naugatuck, the democratic candi- date in the fifth district, was op- timistic; and Town Chairman John H. Crary of this city was confident to-day. All three were interviewed by The Democrat.
 In all but one of the towns throughout the fifth congressional district in which an election took place the republicans won. Fur thermore, three towns wbich were democratic a year ago swung into the republican column in yester- days polling. Morris elected two
