FEDERAL GOVT HAS RETAINED
 STRONG CREDIT
It Has Sold $500, 100000 in Short Term Bonds, Secretary of Treasury WOOdin Announced
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY United Press Financial Correspond

Washington, March 14.-UP)- The federal government has main- tained it's strong credit position by successfully selling $80O,000,00O in short-term obligations in spite of troubled banking conditions which have made it almost impossible for other borrowers to obtain funds at any price.
 Secretary of Treasury Woodin last night announced subscription books for the two issues had been closed, indicating the issues had been oversubscribed in less than A hours.
 Part of the proceeds of the bond sale will be used to pay off $66O.- 715,500 in certificates of indebted ness and $33,591, 400 in anti-hoard- ing "baby" bonds due tomorrow. A total of $59,000,00o will pay in- terest falling due on the govern ment's $21, 1,000,00O,00O public debt and the remaining $50,000,OOO will go for current expenses.
 The $8OO,00O,000 offering consists of per cent five month treasury certificates of indebtedness, both dated March 15. The proportion of each maturity will be deter mined later on the basis of sub scriptions for each issue.
 The entire $800,O0O,000 was not raised in actual cash or bank credit because holders of the maturing issues have the right to tender them at one hundred cents on the dollar for the new issue if they so elect. Interest of 2 and 3-4 per cent is paid on the maturing issues.
 The new banking bill which passed last week apparently prompted heavy purchase of the bonds by banks. Under the new banking law. federal reserve mem- Der banks. of which there are more than 5000 may pledge the bonds with the Federal Reserve banks security for an equal amount of new money authorized under the bill. All governmental obligations bear the circulating privilege" un- der the bill.

Report Hellmann { Brewing Company
 Ready For Business
Interested Parties Look to State Commission Recently Appointed By Cross, to Define Manner in Which Permits for Manufacture of Beverage Will Be Issued

With the passage of the beer bill by congress practically certainty by the end of the week, Water bury to-day began to look for the first appearance of the popular beverage within a month.

 state commission recently appoint ed by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross,
 will have reached decision within
 short time after the manufacture and sale of beer becomes legal, and will announce its findings as to
 how the beverage is to be sold throughout the state. Whether the Eagle Brewing company will be started up again

 the expenditure of thousands of dollars.

CATHOLIC STUDY
 CLUB MEETING
Talks By Mrs F. NewcOmb and Miss M. Farley on
 Important Topics
CHAIRMAN PRESIDED

The monthly meeting of the
 Catholic Study club was held at the | Waterbury Catholic high school au- ditorium last night in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women. Miss Kathleen Fitzgerald presided. Rev Joseph McCuen, ad-
 visor of the club, opened with a prayer. Miss Fitzgerald spoke briefly of the purpose and aims of
 the Study club, which is sponsored by the education committee of the Waterbury Council of Catholic wo-
 men and the Waterbury Chapter of
 the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae. Members of both. associations, Miss Fitzgerald the monthly discussions. The club
 at it's meetings which have been
 conducted for two years, discusses
 and aims to discuss matters of Catholic education and current topics of the day. During tho past year, Miss Fitzgerald said, the en- cyclical on labor of Pope Plus X1 was read paragraph by paragraph
 and discussed and papers on other
 pertinent subjects were read at
 each meeting.
 Mrs Frank Newcomb and Miss Marjorie Farley represented the club last night, the former reading q paper on "Crime As Commun- ity Problem," the latter speaking on "The Causes of the Late War" | which was a continuation of a pre-
 vious talk by Miss Farley on world peace. Mrs Newcomb spoke of the i causes and effects of crime and the l possible cure for same. She dis- | cussed crime in an informal way
 as a local problem. Briefly she out lined some major causes of crime,
 stating that the majority of crim- inals, nationally and locally, are
 minors. She mentioned crime as an organization, organized, she said,
 like any big business.
 | Among specific causes for crime acording. to Mrs Newcomb's state
 ments, are communism, lack of re- | ligion, bad leisure habits and di- | yorce. All of these causes were
 shown by the speaker to more or less affect youth where crime is so rampant. Various remedial measures and precautions were sug- gested, such as. recreation centers | to take care of the youth of a locality. She complimented the loc- al facilities and organizations Of this city for their assistance along these lines.
 Miss Marjorie Farley gave a con- structive talk on the causes of war, and urged Catholic women to be- come interested in international 'as
 well as national affairs to more clearly understand why there have 1 been wars and will be, treaties and pacts notwithstanding. She briefly | outlined European relations since l the middle of the nineteenth cen-
 tur,y leading to the origins of the
 late war, and the necessity or | guarding against a repetition or | same procedure in the worlds his l tory. She said that it was necessary for everyone to make such matters as the World war, peace, and 50
 forth, their own special problem to study out, to think about, and then to discuss openly.
 Both talks were admirably given
 and are examples of the sort oi
 work and study covered by the
 Catholic study club.

Hartford, April 12-With the season of the year at hand when many people move to shore or country, Warren J. Scott, director of the Bureau of Sanitary Engin- eering of the State Department of Health, in the depattment's weekly broadcast today warned those nov ing out of reach of the public wa ter supply and sewerage systems against the use of water from an unknown or unprotected source and against the danger from im- properly designed and located pri- vate sewage disposal systems.
 It is each individuals duty to himself when changing to a resi- dence in rural or shore sections not served by public water and sewerage systems to ascertain that both water supply and sewage dis posal facilities are adequate and safe, he declared.
 Country water supplies in Con- necticut are usually from wells or springs. Most running streams or ponds are not satisfactory sources for private drinking water supplies since the danger of pollution is too great. Wells or springs should not be located too close to nearby sources of pollution, since they may become contaminated through underground drainage. Although this is governored by character of the soil, the slope of the ground water, etc, seventy-f1ye feet is us- ually a minimum distance.
