of schools in the high school building.
 Many people feel the board ia somtimes too high-handed, rather autocratic in nature. Its members small fee given the secretary and are in for a three-year term. They have the virtual power to do what they want if they feel the local ed- ucationai system warrants it and this power to disregard q local economic situation if they so wish has given them n certain aioofnesS many believe.
 Many years ago such power was in the hands of local district school committees and when the board was first formed. 1t did not have the power to appoint teachers, this being given to the district cOmmit- tees. It did have the authority to name n superintendent of schools, however. and to check on finances. Later as the school districts con- solidated its powers grew.
 Atty. Henry J. Freeman who has served on the board for 2S years was a member of the original boad of education here.
 Dr. Kennedy is expected to prove quite capable member of the board, if elected. Two members are elected every year, usually one republican and one democrat. Howard Bristol has been renonin. ated by the republicans. Mrs. Ellen Johnson is tho progressive's choice for the position.

NAUGATUCK
Wm ). Raxter. OOEEespon0cnb-IhOne Naugatuck 379.9

Naugatuck, April 17-If the gov ernment grants request made by the local PERA administration for $50.000 of the relief fund money coming. to Naugatuck for use on the Bethany airport, the field may we'll become the key airport of the state in the opinion of Christian Groh, EZRA supervisor and former aviator and instructor in aviation.
 This is one of a list of projects the government has been asked to supply money for under the new relief fund. MT Groh said today he thinks Naugatuck's chances of obtaining the money asked are good because they put their request in well ahead of other town, in February and the requests are clearly stated, details having been worked out by Groh himself in extra hour work, and they are req sonable, he said.
 The airport work would consist largely of excavations, MT Groh said, in order to make the field en- tirely level. Although Lebanon road was changed there last year so as not to run across the field, it has not made the field entirely good for landing. There are still damp spots in the field which a flyer would not see in landing, and it takes really skilled flyer to land there now.

Other Projects.

Other projects asked for in the Naugatuck relief fund, which is separate from the EZRA, are:
 A sewage disposal plant and a gar bagc plant, $150,0O0; public com fort station. $4,500; 8 boulevard to be in the nature of park on the east side of the Naugatuck river from Smith street in back of Cur tiss street coming out again on North Main street near Cemetery street The sum of $64,595 is ask cd for this. Developing of 4S0 town lots in the Mlllville Hoadley street section including installation of sewers, gutters and sidewalks at a cost of $9,765 is asked. 4
 children's wading pool of cement at the lower end of Recreation field at a cost of $3,464 is sought.

Fitzgerald, Noble
 Sure Of Reelection
Tax Collector and Burgess -McDOnOugh's Removal
 Causes Bitterness in Certain Groups Is Report

Naugatuck. April 17--Tax Col lector James Fitzgerald, Democrat. and Burgess Tracy Noble, first ward burgess, are sure of reelec- ton now. The tax collector has been nominated or endorsed on all three party tickets. The Repubii- cans renominated Mir. Noble and the Progressives endorsed him so with two burgesses selected from each ward. he cannot be beaten.
 The same applies to Leo Brophy. second ward Democratic burgess, who has been renominated by the Democratic party and endorsed by tho Progressive group. Endorsement yesterday by the Progressives is believed to have helped consider ably Town Clerk Louis Schiller Jr's chances for reelection. He was party. He Is opposed by Frank Madden, Democrat. Mir. Schiller hsa been quite vote-getter in the past and there is much interest in the outcome of this contest.
 oSCollectrron dbe-y-party.ot.x
 Endorsement by the Progress sives will also help Francis o'Con- nor, Republican who is opposing Treasurer Anthony Mariana for the office of town treasurer.
 There is still much talk locally about the move of the Democrats woh ruled at the party convention in replacing Atty. John McDon- ough by Dr. Charles $. Kennedy on the school board. Mir. McDon- ough had been on the board of education for about 20 years con- secutively and his sudden remov. al has startled many.
 Bitterness Reported
 According to some reports, 1t has caused bittrness in certain groups. The board of education holds rather unusual position In town. It is far from being as popular as the board of warden and burgesses and its meetings are never attended by outsiders unless they are petitiop- ing for something. Of course the hour of the meetings, 5 D. m. may have something to do with this, but the moard has never encour- aged pubmlic attendance, meetings beign held in the comparatively small office of the superintendent

Location Good.

It's location in direct line from Boston, and Hartford and New Haven and in line with New York and Long Island places 1t in 6 fine spot, MT Groh said. He believes 1t would develop as a com mercial and possibly a military air. port in case of trouble.
 Brainard field in Hartford and the East Haven airport are the main state airports now and he be- lieves the Bethany field would rank as high as or not higher than these. The work there would be to level off by excavating in some places and adding dirt in others. There would be no need to erect any more buildings in MT Groh's opin- ion as the hanger there now will hold 20 planes he says and in the event of arm use the practice Is to erect small tents for the planes
 More runways will be erected under the proposed plan. Nauga- tu.,k men would be used on the work, MT Groh said. He points out the Bethany port is much better located than the Waterbury-P Ply mouth airfield which Is off the dl- rect line from Boston and which has no suitable location for emer- gency landings. There Is land a. vailable near the Bethany field In case 1t were thought advisable to enlarge 1t. %
 The $50,000 would not represent a subsidy from the government to the company which owns the field Mir Groh said in response to a question. The company is willing to turn the field over to the gov ernment or state whenever request ed. he explained.
 He believes 1t would divert busi- ness from other channels to this port. He has written several letters about the matter to state officials and feels quite hopeful concerning action.

By FRANK McNAUGHTON (COpyrlght, 1885, By United Prcss)

Springfield, Colo, April 11-(UP) A barefootcd woman was using q heavy scoop shovel to clear the dust from her crumbIing rock home.
 Madame, what do you think of these dust storms? Will they ever end?"
 She leaned meditatively on the shovel handle.
 "No," she sighed in ultimate helplessness. God is punishing us for our sins"
 Helped Mail Carrier

 Both of us wore respirator masks to make breathing easier. But the fine sand permeates everything. It fills your hair and eyes and mouth with grit and makes your lungs feel as if they had been sandpa- pered inside.
 The dust filled the inside of the closed car. At times I could see only about four feet ahead. House Was Crumbling Near Campo, Colo. we stopped at 6 battered tin mailbox on a leaning hedge post. Through the dust we could see the farm house, built of rock that was crumbling away at the corners.
 Suddenly woman leaped through paneless window and came running toward the car. She was shoelcss and stockingless. The dust spurted between her toes as she waded through a shallow drift.
 She wanted news of the outside world. She and her sister. who

HOOVER TRYING
 RESURRECTION
 OF DEAD PARTY
Personal Campaign Being Conducted to Instill
 Some New Life

Washington, April 17. (UP)- Former President Hoover was credited in reports generally cirs culated here to-day with undertak- ing a quiet but thorough personal campaign to bring life back into the republican party.
 First result of Mir Hoover's cf- forts, 1t was said. will be series of i've regional republican conven- tions. intended to marshall repub- lican strength in advance of the 1936 elections.
 The conventions, it Is now plan ned, will be in Boston, Baltimore, Kansas City, a far western city, possibly San Francisco, and some city of the eastern midwest region.
 The plan for these conventions, 1t was understood, has been dis. cussed by MT Hoover with party leaders during his travels about the country recently.
 First ln Boston
 The first convention probably will be that at Boston. New Eng land republicans will assemble there April 30. The second is cx- pected at Kansas City in mid May.
 The next large gathering prob- ably would be that proposed for Baltimore. Plans for this meeting were gone over by Mir Hoover Gov ernor Harry Nice of Maryland and other eastern republican heads last weekend.
 The purpose of the series of con- ventions would be to whip up re- publican enthusiasm, evolve definite republican program in op. position to the New Deal and gen. erally repair political lines.
 MT Hoover has emphasized, it was understood. that he has no de- sire to be considered a candidate and the conventions are not intend- cd to call attention to any particu- lar candidate.
 The meetings are, however, ex- pectcd to adopt resolutions and declarations of principle which may become the busis of the 1886 platform.

 Of Baga county's 5000 acres, 97 per cent is devoid, of plant life, Kenneth Welch, county relief ad- ministrator, said. A plan is afoot to move the population westward into the mountain regions. Half of the 10000 people in the county are on relief. Many are i'll with dust induced bronchitis, sinus in- lection or lung maladies. The coun- tvs cattle population of 10000 has been reduced to 5000 head, which the government is feeding. Welch said 80 per cent of the population would leave if a way were provid- ed. Even with heavy and long rain, 1t would take the county two years to come back, he said.
