est at per cent. The home own- CT will then have long term loan with small payments. \.
 If the mortgagee refuses to take the bonds and the mortgage, taxes and other encumbranches due are not in excess of 40 per cent of the value of the property, the corpora ton will loan the mortgagor up to 40 per cent of the value to take up the mortgage with cash and also any taxes due and take mortgage from the home owner at 15 years payable as in the other cases, with interest at per cent.
 This is the method of making the loans except that where 8 home owner has no encumbrapces on his home but is in default of taxes and in danger of losing his property from tax sale, the Corporation will loan money on the home to pay the taxes and amortize that for IS years just as in other cases.
 MT Kennedy emphasized the fact that the Corporation will only deal with the redemption of homes val- ued at not over $2O,000 and 1t will not loan over $14,000 on any home either in bonds or in cash.
 The borrower may have an ex- tension of three years on the prin- cipal if he keeps interest paid, and the board may extend the payment Of principal and interest in cases of inability to pay owing to stress of circumstances, but the total exten-a sions during the 15-year period must not exceed three years.
 Several Waterburians are being mentioned for the staff of the local office. Announcements are expected during the coming week. The local office will comprise of a manager. a lawyer and an appraiser.

SHORTER VAMPS
 FOR ALL SHOES

St Louis - (UP) - The boun- cer's boot will be g. pink-tipped afafir with not much toe next fall that is, presuming that bouncers go in for the fashions of the sea- son.
 Brown and gray in buckskin. such as the Prince of Wales sought to introduce some four years ago, will hit American soil with the Autumn leaves, as color and material for footwear. in the opinion of A. G. Nudge, shoe stylist and authority here.'
 To meet the fall dictum for narrower trouser bottoms, all shoes will have a much shorter vamp to avoid the appearance of too much toe, Nudge said. Wing tips, pinked and perforated, will appear on brogues for the young bloods.
 The new fall modes are in an- swer to the shoe manufacturers prayer for a substitute to the sports shoes of summer.
 For the more conservative dress CT, according to Mudge's forecast, the fall shoes will appear more tailored, plainer and heater than for many years. Soft feathers such as kangaroo and kid are com ing back, particularly for older men shoes.
 Nudge added, however, that eventually these feathers may oc- cupy place on the young mems uppers, by right of comfort.

Record Gold Mining Year
 Forecast for Canada

Montreal, (UP)-A prediction that 1888 will be one of the great est years in the history of Cana dian gold production is made by Dr Charles Camsell, deputy min- ister of Mines in the Dominion government.
 Great development, he said, is going on both in Northern Onta- rio and Quebec and also in two fields in British Columbia. The curve of price and production is rising steadily.
 ''The distinguishing fact this year." D rCamsell said, lis that the mine operators are getting an unusual price for gold, consider ing its nominal value. This pro- vides profit for the exploitation of claims which have not been de- veloped for lack of capital and also encourages new prospecting. Last years gold production, of nearly $70,000,000 promises to be exceeded this year."

City Swelters
 As Heat Reigns
High Mark of Yesterday May Again Be Reached as
 Mercury Rises

Waterbury continued today to swelter under an unusual summer heat. At 6 o'clock this morning the temperature was 86 and at noon 1t had reached the 96 mark. At II o'clock the thermometer showed 92 degrees. Fear was expressed that the heat would reach yester- days figure of 101 degrees, one of the highest figures in the city's history.
 While over the weekend, in view of the unusual heat wave, thousands of Waterburians were able to leave the city for the shore or lake resorts, they were tied down to business today and, there- fore, the suffering was greater and more widespread.
 No 'prostrations from the heat had been reported up until early this afternoon from the local wave. However, 1t was feared that the hospitals or local doctors would be called upon to aid many if the heat persisted.
 All Waterbury prayed today for showers, but according to the weather man no rain will fall un- til tomorrow when a storm or steady rain is expected. However, it is hoped that the weatherman is wrong and that the heavens will open late this evening or tonight and drop rains which will bring about temporary relief from the heat.
 Local parks, playgrounds and public pools were heavily taxed this afternoon as hundreds sought to relieve their distress from the relentless hot sun. In addition, lakes in and near Waterbury were also visited by hundreds of local residents seeking respite from the hot rays of the sun.
 Over the weekend the heat was very intense, On Saturday and Sunday the ten erature climbed continuously unS it hit the 101 mark. Waterbury was practically deserted yesterday. Traffic was at a standstill, due both to the fact that residents had gone to the shores or had decided to stay home under the cooling breezes of electric fans rather than brave the rays of the sun.

WADING AT LAKEWOOD
 IS NOW ENDAN GERED
Water Drops Six Feet When Drawn Off-No Place for
 Beginners

Irving W. Harrison, 'superinten- dent of parks was expected to report to the board of park com missioners at their meeting today that wading facilities at Lakewood beach in the north end will prob ably have to be banned unless the drawing of water from the lake ceases.
 The water in the lake has dropped almost six feet,> which has caused the water at the wading beach to shrink to little more than a foot deep.
 At the first of the season the beach made an excellent place for tots and youngsters to wade be- cause there was a considerable ex- panse. There was at least Is or 20 feet of water between the sandy shore and the. limiting ropes, along the 100 feet of beach. The water at the ropes was several feet deep. It was ideal for beginners
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-31

to learn the art of swimming.
 At present the water is only about foot deep at the ropes and the expanse between shore and the ropes is only about feet. Grown persons who are unable to swim have no place there in which to learn how, because the water is not deep enough and George Hike Noonan. life guard will not permit those who are not expert swimmers to go beyond the ropes.
 The lake water is used by several factories which pipe it in to the mills for cooling and washing the metal as it comes from the casting shops.
 It is believed that when MT Har- rison reports it to the park board, steps will be taken to cease draw ing the water until the lake has had a chance to fill up to it's nor- nal depth.
