No Reduction

New York, Dec. 9- (UH) = There will be no reduction in liquor
 prices until after the Christmas and New Year holidays, 1t appear ted today.
 Distiiiers and wholesalers, ad- hitting that large stocks of whis- keys still are in the warehouses, prophecied that from three to i've weeks would be needed to complete the task of bottling, labelling, mix ing and blending uncut bonded
 beverages. These labors, they em- phasized, could not legally be start
 ed until repeal formally arrived
 last Tuesday.
 With issuance of license to the 400th retail store yesterday, the
 metropolitan purchaser faced the
 contingency of having a neighbor-
 hood store, but open with barren shelves. only 100 stores were stock
 ed with liquors.
 Rye sold at $3.50 in most depart ment stores, with Bourbon prices
 ranging slightly lower. Scotch sold
 at a $4.00 minimum, gin retailed as high as $2.00 a fifth, and im-
 ported champagnes sold at $5.75 and up.
 "NO one with common sense
 would expect prices to come down within three days of repeal, when you consider the tremendous de- mand for stocks of few bottles in each household" an official of the
 National Distillers Products Cor poration said,
 Police officials announced they were having more than the usual difficulties with patrons who in-
 sisted on drinking at a bar. and bartenders who permitted 1t. Raids on speakeasies brought IT more arr rests during the day.
 While the average purchaser grumb bled over the high prices and the dearth of retail stores, hotel owners reported, Q four-fold in- crease in dining room business. MIRA headquarters said that repeal had created at least 25,00O new jobs in the metropolitan area. !, A $1,O0O,000 cargo of imported wines arrived yesterday when the French liner.

SNOWFALL SET IN
 THIS MORNING
But the Weather Prophet Predicts Fair Weather
 for Tomorrow

Waterbury was visited by the first snowfall of the month today. Early weather reports had prom ised only cloudy weather for today but the weatherman apparently slipped one over for shortly be. fore o'clock the snow began faIl- ing. Tn the central part of the city 1t did not stick to the sidewalks or roads but on the outskirts the ground sported a fiashy, white covering.
 According to the weatherman, the weather should be fair tomor- row. Therefore, if he is right, it was not expected early today that the snow would remain long. The temperature this morning was @ little below freezing.

Merchants Receiver
 Sets State Record
Citizens Bank Reported First in State in Accepting
 ILL. Bonds in Liquldating Frozen Mortgages

900 worth of bonds in wiping out of frozen mortgages. That ts. mortgages upon which no hope of payment can be expected. The re- ceiver hopes to take in an addi- tional $is0.000 in liquidation.
 It Is believed that the receiver can only llquidate about $500 worth of mortgages through Home Loan bonds. That is because the Home Loan office here can only loan up to $14,000 on the mort gages and the mortgages must be in process of foreclosure. There are many mortgages in excess of $14,00O on the books of the Mer- chants Trust Co.
 If the receiver. then. can sell these ~s350.000 worth of bonds at par value to depositors, complete liquidation results. It is known that counsel for other bank re- ceivers in the state have interrog- ated Attorney Reeves on the lat ter's plan for disposing of the bonds.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-09

Waterbury can be original even when ft comes to such technical and dry propositions as the Home Loan bonds. The receiver for the Merchants Trust Go, The Citizens & Manufacturers National bank, Is believed to be the first receiver In the state to lead the way in ac- eepting Home Loan bonds as a means of liquidating frozen mort gages.
 It Is also known to be the first receiver to originate the Idea of selling the bonds to depositors. The receiver through its counsel, Attorney Francis T. Reeves. has Q motion before the superior court here asking permission to sell the home Loan bonds to depositors of the Merchants Trust Co.
 The court is expected to rule on the motion within the next week. If permission is granted, the re- ceiver can sell the bonds to people having deposits in the bank at 90 per cent of the deposit value. Tn other words, if a person has a pe- posit of $200 in the closed bank. he can purchase $1s0 worth of Home Loan bonds with his $200 deposit.
 It is a valuable investment for the depositor no matter how you look at it. First of all, he gets In exchange for his dormant deposit something that is readily convert ible to cash. A $100 bond is selling on the market today for $83.
 second. if the depositor after coming into possession of the bonds does not wish to sell his bonds, he can hold them and draw per cent interest from the gov ernment.
 An another thing. Attorney Reeves stated in court yesterday that he understood congress was ready to take immediate action on the guaranteeing of the bonds soon after convening January 2.
 Guaranteeing the principal Of the bonds appears to be the big catch in the eyes of those local banks which have turned down bonds as a medium of liquidating mortgages upon which foreclosures have been started. They point out that while the government guar antees payment of interest for the 1S years life of the bonds. the government does not guarantee the principal.
 The receiver for the Merchants Trust Co has taken in over $780,

SIXTY THOUSAND
 CHILDREN OUT
tContinued from Page l.)

| Many complained when work was taken from them. The chill dren's bureau prevailed upon the federal emergency relief adminis- tratiOn to see that their parents were given jobs instead. Abolition of child labor Is nearer accomplishment to-day than ever before", said Mrs Clara M. Beyer, who is associated with Miss Grace Abbott in administer adopted the principle that 16- time employment should prevail throughout industry.
 More than 100 codes now pro- hibit child labor"
 Mrs Beyer and her associates now are worrying over children who are being hired by thousands of housewives. These women pay their juvenile servants fractional wages and sometimes turn them into slaves.
 There is no code for domestics. There should be, according to the children's bureau. Wisconsin au- thorities once threatened to arrest slave-driving housewives. The bur eau has heard of no such arrests to date.
 The bureau did learn. however. of Iowa's quiet deed on December 5.
 While the rest of the country was celebrating the end of prohibi- ton the tall corn state ratified the child labor amendment to the con- stitution.
  The women of the bureau are happy over Iowa's action, but lit- tie sad over the Iowa legislature $ ignorance of what is news and when. More people would haze read about 1t. they believe, if the legislature had chosen some other | day to vote.
 Iowa's decision brought the number of states in favor of the amendment to 16. Twenty more, and child labor in the United States will be out.awed.

 Now that children are back in school, nourishing lunches for them becomes an important matter. Almost before we realize 1t the morning has flown and 1t Is time for them to come skipping in for lunch that must be appealing and adequate nutritionaily. MIX must play an important part Tn this midday lunch. If your chil- dren enjoy drinking milk, you are fortunate. A sandwich and q glass of milk, plus fruit. and possibly cookies or another simple sweet, provide all the necessary food ele. ments. However, when the child does not care to drink milk or tires of having 1t every day, 1t is neces- sary to be ingenious and see that he gets 1t in more varied forms. The quickly prepared luncheon dishes suggested below furnish an abundance of milk and will be en. thusiastically greeted by the chil- dren.
