 Here Predicts Cut
 In Federal Quotas
Cities, Towns Will Bear Burden of Caring for Unen- plOyed By Next Summer Transfers From Lists
 Reported Public, Press Confused as to Policies

papers have become confused over the relief situation"
 The PWA, under which this state will lose millions of dollars in fed eral appropriations from present indications, Mir. Harris believes to have been almost totally useless as measure for the relief of unem- ployment.
 "On the few PWA jobs under taken in Waterbury, the amount of labor actually taken from families on relief was so small as to be negligible" he said. workers on these two projects were secured by the contractors through the state employment agencies. I have seen instances where men given work, although two or three other mem bers of their family were employed at the time."
 Latest reports at Washington are to the effect that more than $1.- 25O,OO0.0OO of the huge works ret lief appropriation still remains to be allocated. Secretary Ickes, head of the PWA administration, and Secretary Hopkins of the WPA were at 1oggerheads over the re- spective virtues of the two systems at conference yesterday at the Presidents home in Hyde park, New York. Newspaper dispatches to-day stated that the differences had been amicably settled but no details of the policy to be pursued in the future were given.
 Rewriting Projects
 Meantime, although the number of persons actually on the EZRA lists has substantially decreased during the month, and several form CT EZRA projects have been ap- proved for development under the WPA, the new system is not yet in operation in Waterbury. A staff of EZRA engineers at the state arm ory is engaged in rewriting the projects. From Waterbury they must be sent to New Haven WPA headquarters for approval and then to Washington for federal, sanction.

He said that in spite of the num- erous local projects announced as having gained the approval of state and federal WPA authorities, there had been to date no men transfer red from EZRA rolls. He received notice this morning that the EZRA weekly appropriation of $11,900 would be continued throughout the current month, an indication that actual work locally under the WPA will be still further delayed.
 Confusion

When a redskin became so sick

usual for his tribesmen to place him
in the woods alone, with no one
to attend him except a nurse or a
doctor, such as they were. Accord
Ing to the rules, no one was al
lowed to visit the sick person ex-
cept those who provided him with
medical attention.
Although visitors of the sick we're

died, anyone and everyone could at

Canning Records Kept BY Home.
makers Prove Many Shelves Are
Filled For Winter Months

To fill their shelves with good
: health for the coming winter has
been the aim of many of our home
makers this year, judging from the
annual records just sent in by SIT
club members to their Home DEM
Onstration Agent, Miss Louise r.
Whitcomb.
Weekly records kept by forth wo-
men on gardens last year gave the
average figure of $1,000 as the value
of such q garden. This figure has
been useful in convincing people
that a good spring garden is really
worth while and when the women
report canning $4,000 quarts of veg
etables from these small home gar
dens it is still more convincing. Be-
SIDE this. 41,000 quarts of fruit
have been put up and $4,000 quarts
of jams, jellies and pickles. In ALL
these women have put up over 1885,
600 jars Of canned food which
means that they will have an abun-
0ance of fruits, vegetables and
meats for this coming winter and
need feel 10 fear at rising food
costs.
Eighty-nine of these homemakers
canned with plan in mind this
year of putting up enough to have
68 quarts of fruits and vegetables on
their shelves for every member of
their family. This figure is estimat-
ed to supply them amply for the
winter months when the garden is
not producing. This is better than
having too much of a surplus left
over for the next year or in rum
ming short before the garden is
ready again.
