New Legion Post to Hold Public Installation Tomorrow
WORLD OF TODAY
 BRINGS PROBLEM
Modern Civilization Inc creases Mental Stresses
 of Intermediate Years

The mental and emotional prob lems of adolescence, the interme- diate period between childhood and maturity, are immensely inn portant and must be mastered if youth is to avoid a period of dis illusionment and the development of a spirit of cynicism which may last for years and perhaps for life, according to Dr c. B. Horton, di- rector of the bureau of mental hy- giene of the state department of health, in the departments weekly broadcast today.
 Adolescence among primitive peoples Is largely limited to the physiological changes, but modern civilization has increased four-fold the problems to be faced by youth, for besides maturing physiological ly, he is also expected to mature in- tellectually, socially and emotion ally, Dr Horton explained. The more intellectual level of competi- tion,s the postponement of mar riage, and the refinements of so- cial usage have all contributed problems which must be dealt with satisfactorily before maturity is complete.
 With respect to the physiologi- cal changes, Dr Horton said that many youthful people are. very dis tressed by them because they do not understand the changes and that this is due to the failure of the parents or guardians to instruct children in these matters.
 The intellectual development of adolescence comes in the adjust ment to a vocational plan which must be made during this period. High school age and the years im- mediately following it are the time for selecting the type of work which is to become the life occu- patton; and here, again, care is needed to direct the adolescent into the type of occupation for which he is best suited, guided by his own feelings in the matter and by the assistance of his elders in avoiding pitfalls.
 The emotional and social prob lems of adolescence can best be met, the director stated, by pro- viding healthy outlets. Youthful ideals can be preserved and adapt ed to the needs of maturity, and ideals can be preserved and grow ing instincts controlled if parents and elders exercise honest frank ness and sympathetic understand ing, Dr Horton concluded.

 A. Your type are usually alert, restless, and energetic-firm and set in their convictions-a bit rest less-but in spite of this have ad- mirable self control. They are mental f1ghters-and would do we'll in positions of authority having others carry out the work according to their orders and per sonal supervision.

Colors Make Patrons
 Rainbow Conscious
Painters Adding Plenty of Color to Interior of New Federal Building-NO Casualties Yet

With a canvas spread through the lobby to protect those below from falling paint Cor perhaps to make themselves secure from pry- ing eyes), painters began work this morning on the lobby of the post office on Grand street.
 The color scheme dispute has ended after it had been carried on all over the city by word of mouth and by columns in the press, and 1t has resulted in the utter defeat of the conservative Waterburians who claimed (and still do) that the samples painted in the lobby on order of Major George Oakley Totten, federal designer were 9 bit too radical for staid Waterbury.
 Rainbow Effect.
 The ceiling will be white (did someone say, At least that's some- thing" p, but an inquiring reporter could not figure out exactly what the rest of the lobby would be like even after it had been explained to him carefully a dozen times. Anyway, some of the colors to revel in glory on the post office walls are orange, vermillion red, Dattlesh1p gray, with somewhere or other a silver stencil.
 A peek up through the hanging canvas this morning disclosed a broad bright yellow stripe across the ceiling, but the painter assured the reporter that it was only a priming coat and the shudder sub- sided. The orange to be used, he said in explanation would be "yel- liowish, kind of." but he had no explanation to make of the ver- million.
 And More Color!
 The sample portions of the lobby which have already been painted give an excellent idea of what the lobby will look like when the painting is completed. Over the stairway leading to the second floor is portion which shows brilliant vermillion predominating, offset by
