'88 Blizzard Recalled
 By Light Snowfall
Old Timers Compare It With Recent Stornl-Warmer
 Weather Predicted for Tomorrow

survivors are in the majority and, therefore, it is a foregone con- clusion that the one of 1888 is due to fade into the background quick ly.
 The snow in 1888 began falling on the evening of March 11th. It continued through March 18th and finally let up on the 18th. The recent blizzard cannot claim any honors along this line and there is no denial that the 1888 snowfall was the real big one. However, the survivors of that attack of the very soon only remarks will be heard on the blizzard of 1884. Snow began falling Saturday and continued until the early hours of yesterday morning. Throughout yesterday there was little or no thawing. This morning, early, the thaw was not of any importance but at noon the snow was quickly melting. With March almost half gone it is felt by all Waterburians that the snow and cold tempcra- lures should soon disappear so as to give way to the blue birds. They have been late in arriving. so far. and snow birds are still to be seen in large flocks.
 The weather man to-day pre- dicted fair and possibly warmer weather for tomorrow. Welcome, said the entire Waterbury popula- ton.

 DAYTON IN FOREFRONT
 Then came the appropriation in Washington of $25,000,000 for just such developments, and the formation of the federal subsist- ence home division in the interior department. Dayton, being al- ready on the way, was first to show actual progress.
 But it will not be alone. The subsistence homestead division has other projects under way. More than 2,000 projects were sub mitted, which would have totaled $4,500. 0.000,000 if all were accept ed. All differ in detail. There is no mold into which the government government insists on pouring them all.
 Only a few could be accepted, after a long winnowing-out proc ess. AlIotments have been made for projects at Laurel. Tupelo, McComb, Hatticsburg, and Merid- jan, Miss, and Birmingham, Ala.

 "I don't see where they have any grounds, for an injunction,' said Leonard C. Donahue, presi- dent of the Bridgeport Retail Druggists association, in comment ing on Sundays meeting. We druggists now have legal permis- sion to sell liquor and we have been upheld by the courts"
 Meanwhile the Connecticut Hotel association appealed to banks and insurance companies to aid in the fight for special session.
 "Since 95 per cent of the hotel industry stands with it's back to the wall it will be of advantage to the investors to attempt to put it in position to earn interest" said statement issued by Willard B. Rogers, president of the associa- ton.
 "OfIicers of the Connecticut Hotel association arc determined that both state officials and mem- bers of the general assembly shall know that the hotels are asking no special privileges but do ask the state to stop discriminating against them where the sale of liquor is concerned"

 MAY DUST UNDESIRABLES
 The homesteader under. the Dayton plan never actually owns his own home or land. He gets lease, renewable every year. subject to approval of the other lcaseholders. Thus a majority may get rid of any neighbor who to hold up his end, at the end of proves undesirable or unwilling q year, by refusing to renew his lease.

Snow-covered ground, quite un- usual in March records of recent years, was viewed by Waterburians to-day as they recalled the record breaking blizzard of 1888. Many who lived in Waterbury in 1883 remembered the blizzard and their memories went back to March 12th of that year. To-day is the 18th anniversary of tho big storm. But the majority of Waterburians know of only one blizzard, the one which occurred almost three weeks ago, crippling business and trans portation.
 "The blizzard of 1888 was the real one," said the few remaining veterans Of the 18th century storm. "What do we care about that, said the present day survivors of the blizzard of the goth century, Needless to say, the 1884 blizzard

In a plain, concrete block house, the Bruce Becks and their 6-year- old son, Robert, are making them selves at home, first family of the 35 who will make up the first unit to be built here.
 Eventually, five such units, for about 150 families, will be built.
 A sea of mud surrounds the Beck place. The litter of construction is not yet cleaned up. The concrete block house Is bare-looking. But the Becks are delighted. They are looking ahead. They are the first of the new pioneers.
 M Kerosene lamps now, but they are planning to get electricity. The mud around the house is a nuisance now, but Mrs Beck al- ready is planning her summer garden and landscaping.
 "It's good to have home of your own," she says. We lived in house with two other families before"
 AIM AT SELF-SUPPORT
 The Dayton project is first to show results, because 1t was started even before the subsist- ence homestead division of the interior department allotted $50,- 900 for the first unit. Applica- tions for $300,000 more have been made here for four more units.
 The Dayton homestead plan, directed by Dr Elizabeth Nutting, differs somewhat from other sub sistence projects. Each unit is planned to include workers of trades so selected that the com munity pretty well could stand alone if it had to.
 That is, members of the unit are to include carpenters, plumb CTS, and men and women of such trades as would be mutually self supporting If necessary by ex- changing labor one with another without much money changing hands.
 In most of the subsistence homestead plans, the entire com- munity Is to work at some factory or mine nearby, supplemcnting their cash earnings by gardening s or handicraft work. The Dayton units are each aimed at being virtually self-supporting.
 OTHER HOMES BEING BUILT
 Besides the Bccks, seven fam flies are living in an old farm house and in temporary buildings that are to be henhouses when the permanent homes are fin ished. Three more of these are practically complete and will be occupied this month, one by Dr Nutting, executive secretary of the homestead unit committee.
 This Dayton project is not straight unemployment relief prof. ect. For instance, Beck, the first oraesteader, has steady job as an Inspector in cash-register plant. His wife is a trained nurse, and works part of the time.
 Such people are desired in the Dayton units so far as possible, for 1t is they who bring In the cash which goes to other home- steaders who have nothing but taheir services to offer.
 To help these, a system of la- bOr exchanpea has been eet nm
