The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-04-04
By EDWARD w. LEWIS

United Press Stan COrrcspOndenD
 Washington, April 4.--(UP)-- The administration Social Secur- ity bill, now ready for debate in the house, holds out to more than 15, 100000 American wage earners a promise of financial aid If they lose their jobs in the future. The bill calls for state unemployment insurance systems, which must be approved by federal social secur- ity board before the state may ob- tain a share of the payroll tax which will build up a benefit fund.
 The program, by and large. Is unlikely to give unemployment se- curity to farm help, transient workers and domestics totaling 100000. They, together with persons working In shops employ ing less than ten persons, probably will not be protected.
 But under the plan, as drafted for house consideration, those ci- ,tizens working on January 1, 1886, in industry, in large retail stores and in large distributing agencies.

peake Bay type" Mellichampe points
out. because of the shallowness of
Washington shore lines. They could
be built by tn. veteran boatmen OF
Maryland and delivered in the Capital
for $3.50 apiece. The result would be
the training of a large number Of
youngsters in a sport that requires a
sound and active brain.
Safest Form Of Boating.
Sailing has a psychological effect
on a persons mental values" says
Mellichampe. land provides sound
foundation in appreciations and the
development of taste and values.
Contrary to the belief of many,
sailing is the safest form of boating.
The boat often may appear to be
sailing at the most dangerous angles,
but the sailor knows his boat was
built to lean in such a manner and
that his speed and stability depend
on such tipping. Even when a small
sailboat, through poor seamanship,
tips over, it cannot sink because of
an atwood construction.
Mellichampe. a native Of Washing
ton, took to sailing as a student at
Porter Military Academy, in Charles
ton. Later he sailed the seven seas
as seaman before returning to the
Capital to settle down. Miss Melli-
champe has had years of experience
in Scout work and similar projects
in the Northeast section of the city.
The project is promised on the
theory that very small P W. A. loan
or similar financing could provide per-
manently for the establishment of a
sailing base in the Hains Point area.
