Wild Lands Yield
To Motor Invasion

While the States are dedicating
themselves more and more to the
preservation of wild forest lands,
"the fact must be faced that in
the long run and for the most
part the wilderness Is bound to
disappear" This is the warning
issued by Herbert A. Smith, ed
itor-in-chief of the Journal Of
Forestry, in his leading editorial
of that publication.
The prediction is based on the
overwhelming program Of develop
ment undertaken by the States,
aptly illustrated by the changes
that have taken place in the last
fifteen years in the Adirondack
region.

Awaiting Approval
 The exact schedules have not been published as yet bue when they are approved by Senator Matthew A. paly, state administrator, 1t is generally understood that Q number Of "white collar" workers will be in line for an advancement in pay. It is also believed that workers will be chased @ senior and junior workers, according to ability, the former group to receive higher rate of pay.
 The only Waterbury womens proj. ect which is listed in the report received from New Haven is the local sewing project, which has seen Q severe out in pefsonnal during the past month. Inasmuch as there is no clerical staff here, there will be no stenographers and clerks affect- cd, unless the local traffic survey project iS renewed. Tn that case, these employees will be classified ac. cordlng to the new plan.
 Changes Expected
 Miss Edna Harmon, in charge Of the recreational and educational WpA workers in the city, has rec ceived no word as yet in connec- ton with changes in her group. There is little change expected in connection with the unskilled or laboring class of WPA employees. Skilled workers will not be affected by the establishment of Q prevailing wage scale for their rates were established recently. This group comprises naasons, carpenters, elec- tricians and the like.
 The present monthly rate of pay for the various classes is as follows: Unskilled, 400.60; semi-skilled, 97l.60; skilled, $e3.60 and profess sional, 4l0S.40.

CHILDREN SENT TO COUNTY HOME
Five Youngsters May Be Returned to Private

Five children were taken to Che New Haven county homo today af- ter hearings before Judge Edward Mascolo in which he recommended that they be replaced in the pri- vate homes in which they have been boarded ct the expense of the city. The children are from Q large group for which this procedure must be followed tn order that the city can receive the benefits of state aid for their maintenance. The youngsters, questioned by Judge Mascolo, all ex- pressed satisfaction with their home conditions.
 Neatly dressed, and scrupulouSly clean, none of the group seemed in any way disturbed by their trans fer, furnishing Q contrast to the first contingent sent to New Haven early last spring. Many of the children in the first group, apparently believ- Ing that they were to Do taken from the care of their foster" parents permanently, wept bitterly in court.
 The session was conducted in the juvenile probation office and was at- tended by representatives of the childrenS home commission and the county home commission.
