John M. Burial Selected
By Mayor Frank Hayes
to Organize Staff

A community Traffic Safety
committee whose duty it will be to
make q thorough study of the au-
tomobile accident situation in
Waterbury with the ultimate aim
of eliminating all possible hazards
will be organized tonight at .
o'clock at meeting of representa-
tive citizens and city officials in
the aldermanic chambers at City
hall. The meeting has been called
by John M. Burial, appointed to
the craftsmanship of the commit
tee by Mayor Frank Hayes.
Assisting the committee in the
work will be staff of FERA
workers under the direction of a
traffic engineer. This staff will
conduct the actual investigation as
an approved FERA project, under
the general supervision Of William
M. Harris, local FERA administra-
tor. Approximately 20 persons will
be employed on the FERA staff.
Purpose
The following invitation has
been sent to prospective mem
bers of the committee by Mr..
Burial:
The loss of life and limb
from automobile accidents in
Waterbury last year .totaled II
deaths and over 500 personal
injuries. These facts indicate
the seriousness of the commu-
nity's automobile-accident sit
uation, and I am sure you will
agree that something should
be done to reduce the hazard
which otherwise, very likely,
will continue to grow worse.

Patched Fuse Held
Responsible For Fire
Fire Marshal, Electrical Inspector Issue Warning to
PubIic-Bank Street Fire Cited as Illustration

Simultaneous with the revelation
THAI the Bank street fire of yester-
day morning which did damage of
close to $1,000 in two buildings
was caused by the failure of a
patched electrical fuse, Fire Mar
shall Den Lahey to-day Joined with
Electrical Inspector Martin
D'Rourke in urging that the public
not attempt to patch defective
fuses by bridging them with PEN
nies or metal disks. The marshal
and the inspector further urged
that fuses of the right amperage
be used in homes and Office build
ings.
Yesterday mornings fire started
IN the shoe repair shop of Antonio
Colosanto, located on the third
floor at SO Bank street. The Are
itself was confined to the one floor
but smoke and water did consider
able damage to stores and offices

OfIicial Statement
Fire Marshal Lahey issued to-
day the following statement:
''The short circuit which caused
the fire in the clustered Clayton
buildings on Bank street, Exchange
Place, Monday morning, again
demonstrates the danger attached
to people 'monkeying' with cleo
trical wiring observed the Elec-
tricaI Inspector Martin O'Rourke,
to-day, just as he and the fire
marshal had concluded a minute
examination of the metal disk used
to bridge this particular branch
fuse.
"There seems to be general
lack of knowledge of the principle
OF the electric fuse, 1.-The electrical
inspector continued judging by
what we of the electrical Office and

fire marshal's Office observe. 1t is
not uncommon to find the fuse
much too large for the circuit 1t is
supposed to protect, and quite
often we find a penny or some
other kind of metal back of plug,
or wire jumper placed around the
fuse.
Safety Device
"The purpose of the electric fuse
is to act as a safety for the system,
and in the event of trouble. such as
a short circuit, the fuse should
blow, rather than have q wire, drop
cord, armored cable or any appli-
ance burn out, and possibly set fire
to the building. The blowing out of
a fuse indicates trouble, and fur
Their trouble is caused by inserting
a larger fuse or bridging the fuse.

blooms Is mostly white suffused with
pink and the fragrance Is conspicuous
and very pleasing to most people. The
anthers are reddish brown. This lily
Is now In bloom or just passing by
and makes an excellent species to
succeed the pure white Madonna
which fiowered in June Gradually
there is being built up a group of
beautiful lilies well adapted TO Aneri-
can gardens and the Regal lily is
being extensively used by lily breeders
as a parent of seedlings with beauti-
full flowers, fragrance and hardness.
Like most garden lilies, the Regal
should be planted IN a well drained
location, preferably in soil made mel
low by adding leaf mold or sand or
both. This lily has one fault IL this
locality. namely that frequently the
young shoots emerge in Spring before
the last frosts and are cut back to
the soil. A light covering of straw
spread over the young plants may save
them from serious injury.
Summer Shrubs.
A FTER the brilliant display of
Spring blooming shrubs, it is a
rather abrupt let-down to early Sum-
mer with its almost complete dearth
of Towering woody plants. 1t is indeed
unfortunate that the seasonal dis
tribution is not more equable. Up to

cites simply will not form compact
crowns in Midsummer and shoot to
seed too rapidly. As matter Of fact,
there are several vegetables that can
not be grown with any satisfaction In
Summer, notably radishes. peas and
spinach. For leafy vegetables, one
should turn to Swiss chard and New
Zealand spinach. The latter species
Is not related at all to the common
spinach but is a trailing plant, the
runners of which make very salts
factory vegetable If cut while young.
BY repeated cutting of some of the
shoots, one can gather several harvests.
The quality Is not as good as the true
spinach, but Is good enough that many
acres of New Zealand spinach are
grown commercially each year in this
area. New Zealand spinach is unique
in being the only vegetable plant
derived from Australasia. II one stops
to think of the history of garden veg
etables, 1t Is surprising how many OF
our Summer vegetables originated on
this group are the white potato, sweet
potato, sweet corn, tomato, pepper,
lima beans and squashes. 1t is for
tunate since these vegetables are well
adapted to the local climate and, with
the exception Of the white potato,
thrive even in the warmest periods.
A THOUGH even more important
than spraying or busting in the
control Of certain insects and disease,
cleanliness or sanitation is often neg
lected in the home garden. Often the
old flower stalks of iris and other
Spring flowers are not removed
promptly and afford a nice haven for
borers and diseases. Dead leaves drop
ping from rose plants infested with
black spot propagate the disease rap
idly, and prunings Of shrubbery or
perennial herbs form a nice resting
place for troubles Of many sorts. It
is good gardening practice to remove
and burn such plant refuse as
promptly as possible. Now that mar
cissus foliage is dying, the beds may
well be raked and the refuse added to
the compost heap, where the ferment-
ing processes will destroy any harmful
organisms. Cleaning up the garden is
helpful also in giving it neat appear
ance, but the factor of disease pre-
vention more than outweighs any
other consideration. Weeds frequently

worthy of greater attention because

Altheas have been grown from seed,

ever, If gardeners would plant some
of the choice horticultural varieties,
the species would gain in favor. The
garden mallows, related to Rose of
Sharon. but growing each year from
the root stock, can scarcely be classi-
fed as shrubs. but are a valuable
source of Summer bloom. The strong
shoots, four or more feet tall, blossom
continuously over a period Of several
weeks. The rose mallow is native of
marshy lands of Northeastern United
States, but does very nicely in gardens
that are not situated in too dry a To-
cation.

to grow the heading types of
lettuce at this season. but rather the
loose leaf varieties such as Grand
