 Local Residents Interested
 Of much interest to Naugatuek welfare department officials Hnd or financinl interest to Naugatuck res- idents in general is tho news that there will be Q meeting held in Waterbury In tho near future to make plans for 0 drive to secure an imrfa aediate legislative grant for the erection of an institution for the feeble-minded in this section
 Naugatuek welfare department officials are eager to see erection ef such an institution as they feel the place of the sort In tho state at present, the Mansfield state school for tho feeble.minded, Is Tn. adequate. They also believe 1t 1s almost inaccessible to somo persons in this section and near Bridgeport.
 That Naugatuek is affected may be soon by tho following facts: Re.. gently the borough department moved to have . local child sent to this sehoo,. They were informed by the authorities there, the appli:: cation had been placed on ne and that the child was number 3926 on the waiting list, this meant that more than 3900 would have to Do accepted by tho school before the local person was granted admiu- ance. And 1t meant that probably there would be no admittance oi this child until he reaches the age of 2l.
 Welfare department officials, in- ciuding Miss Margaret Bull who in her investigation work for the EZRA, comes across several eases of this nature, feels that under this system there Is little chance of de- veloping the children into good or useful citizens.
 They are allowed to grow up and run around wildly an it Is from this class that some of the Dillin- gers of the future will develop, said Miss Bull.
 Many poor families, In tho Fair Held county section for instance, are really saying goodbye to their chtl- dren when they put them Into the Mansfield school for their financial resources do not permit them to make the long trip almost up to Willimantic to see their children, This is another reason why a school in the southern section should De erected, local officials maintain.
 And because there Is no room at present for local children in that school. the towns financial burden ls greater, Public Welfare Super jhtendent N. Hadley Cox today pointed out. The maintanance cost of a local child at the Mansfield Institution or a similar one would be comparatively &mail, but when q child cannot get in he is some- times placed in what is called "fos. ter homes. These are homes of private persons who bring the
 Such persons are few and they demand e high price for taking care of the feeble minded child be- cause 1t requires special care. Sometimes almost as much as s7 a week is paid out. There are two Naugatuck children now In roster homes.
 Welfare officials here freely ad- nit there are ssome children who are not mentally bright enough to get, into the special classes con- ducted here and as they can't sei into MansfeId and the town can'' aflord to put them in foster homes they roam around town.
 They are in the formative stage and could be developed along the rIXnt UdLn5 Vut tnGJ AANC INV sss~ ooportunlty. They may get into pad habits. it was pointed out that may turn them definitely into bad citizens.
 The need for another sucn school has been evident for some firne. according to the local ofii- einIs. It is understood Rev Eugene Cryne, diocesan social service bu- reau head, will be chairman of the committee in charge of the meet
