PLAN GETS SUPPORT

Nearly 200 builders, representing
almost every section of New Jersey,
are backing the bonded house plan"
announced recently by the presi-
dent of a large Passaic lumber manu-
facturer, as means of driving unscru-
pulous builders out of the field and at
the same time creating public conf

100 builders have made applications
to construct houses under the bonded
plan, which insures the construc-
tion, the material, the design and
the contract price. The bond Of
an indemnity house will be placed on
each house built under the plan.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-05
Human Side Of It

We've heard much talk about the mechanical nature of the bureaus set UP by our federal government to deal Wlth the relief situation. And of recent months the Democrat has been outspoken in it's criticism of officials who refused to look at facts. but who preferred instead to look at rules. The WPA eligibility require ments that spelled no work for hundreds of Mutual Aid employees have finally been abrogated to the extent that Waterbury relief workers are being recognized.
 The finale to this odd phase was writ ten in Waterbury yesterday when state WPA officials conferred with local ones and decided on a method of procedure whereby some 400 Mutual Aid employees who seemed destined to be left out in the cold will get WPA ratings and jobs as well. For time 1t seemed as though theirs would be hollow victory. True they would be recognized as eligible for WPA jobs, but inasmuch as the WPA quota for this city was exhausted some time ago that meant actually little or nothing in their present predicament.
 Now jobs loom for those Mutual Aid workers who were to be gloriously ele- yated. It's the sane solution of situa- ton that was simply produced by too much red tape. We are glad to see that there are officials in our federal relief bu- reaus who can see the human side of this question and reach out and untangle 1t without resorting to every subterfuge that was handy. Let us hope that the WPA will embrace all Mutual Aid workers who still are unable to be absorbed by lrl- Gustry or business in its natural expan- SIOn and pickup.

State, Federal Aid

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, his critics to the contrary, is interested In maintaining states rights. This he clear ly showed few days ago when he spoke on a subject about which great deal has been heard of recent years-soil and flood problems. The National Resources Commission recently laid on his desk a brochure; Little Water: study Of head water streams and other little waters, their use and relations to land.
 Discussing what the federal govern lnent can do in aiding this problem Of flood control and soil erosion President Roosevelt said among other things, "The Congress could not formulate nor could the Executive carry out the details of such plan, even though such pro- cedure were desirable and possible under our form of government. We can, how ever, lay down certain simple principles and devise means by which the federal government can cooperate in the com- mon interest with the states and with such interstate agencies as may be estab- llSheQ.
 It was his contention, based on infor- nation supplied him by such bodies as the Natural Resources Commission, that the problems of soil erosion and flood control originate on the myriad of tiny farms, in the pastures, the wood lots and throughout the public domain. But to place all these broad acres under federal surveillance, he finds is impossible, but that they can be controlled he does not regard as impossible. We would have liked to have heard him include stream pollution in the same plan. It goes hand in hand with the other two. If we are to hand down to coming generations land and water, on which they may raise grain and from which generate power and draw for domestic purposes, then to-day we must plan to save and conserve.

The Neutrality Job

Regarding neutrality legislation in Washington, which Congress has been trying to rush through before the expira- ton of the law enacted last year, 1t may be well to make haste slowly. As Walter Lippmann argued in recent ardio ad- dress, there is no present crisis. The emergency measure now in effect is not altogether satisfactory, not definite and extensive enough for permanent control of traffic, but is serving the purpose. The foreign situation does not seem likely to change much within few weeks.
 Any permanent control policy takes more time to work out than has yet been given. Congress is not yet in full posses sion of all the facts wanted, the country is not yet fully informed, and neither governmental judgment nor public opir1- ion has vet clarified. It is not at all clear how far our people are ready to go in renouncing war business and freedom of the seas"
 On the wise determination of this mat ter depends future peace or war for this country and possibly the fate of civiliza- ton. No superficial guesses, no stop gap legislation, can be trusted to serve the purpose of keeping this nation out of war and promoting the peace of foreign na- tions through wise example. The exist ing law, which gave the President the moderate power he now possesses for curbing the munition traffic, can easily be continued for few more weeks until this vital question can be thrashed out.

Theater Under Canvas

One of the most successful stage pro ductions of New York's current season IS going on the road in the spring but 1t will be performed like circus, under big tent. It seems that Jumbo, which IS the play in question, would have to show in municipal auditoriums = nothing else being large enough - and rebuilding lot of them, for it would eat up any profits which might otherwise be expected. Hence the big top of canvas.
 A newspaper critic who isn't often swept off his feet with enthusiasm writes that this combination of circus, drama and music "is one of the most remarkable productions in the history of the nation" !" It combines an interesting story and theatrical skill with the lavishness of the circus. It is said to sparkle with stars and personality
 All this sounds like something new in the way of entertainment. It ought to please the home folks l the outlying areas as it has please visitors to New York. And how will the regular circus people like it?

Fourteen Million Homes

Senator Wagner of New York, address ing the National Public Housing Confer ence, takes peoples breath by portraying a potential market for $65, 5,000,000,000 worth of new housing in the next ten years. Residential construction, he ex- plains, is p per cent behind the normal increase of population, and new housing will have to be provided in the next de- cade for 14,000,000 families, which means nearly 20,000,000 people.
 It is out of the question to undertake this vast volume of building out of public funds, whether federal, state or munich pal, or all together. There are not enough public funds for it, and the people have no desire to substitute public for private building except perhaps in special cases where the need is great and private capi- tai is impossible to obtain, or where it seems desirable to do bit of pioneering and set an example. The great bulk of this new building is obviously going to be up to private enterprise. Citizens aware of the urgent need of new homes, and also the urgent need of employment that such construction could provide, hope that private enterprise will be up to the task.

One of the coming highway changes that will be relished by local motorists will be removal of Dead Mans Curve on the Naugatuck road For years it has been danger spot, even after the State Highway Department widened 1t and i'm proved the entrance of the Platts Mill road on the south side of the curve. We can recall the days when automobiles ap- preached the spot with fear, for in those days bad curve was always regarded as dangerous. To-day they may still be re- garded as dangerous, but the average mo- torist approaches the majority of them with little or no care for the car coming up on the other side. Modern automotive methods enable most cars to negotiate curves, even hairpin ones, at high rates Of speed with no upsetting of equilibrium.

 "1t was my good fortune to have known Ted since the days he cov- cred the Connecticut legislature for the Hartford Courant. When l first came to congress in 1883 he called on me, and amidst our mu- tual congratulations, his for my having won @ seat in congress, mine for his brilliant advance in the field of Journalism, he remarked that our paths seemed bound to run alongside each other.
 "I'or my part I was pleased be- yond words that this man, whose name was spoken with admiration by old associates in Connecticut Journalism, and with reverence by those who had entered the field after he had left Hartford, was again going to be near at hand to counsel with me, this time In my work as Q congressman.

Question Box

c. When did silk stockings first come into general use?
 A. It is not definitely known. In the Eth century leather leg pro- tectors were worn, and velvet and fabric stockings were common long before wool and silk were introduced. Knitted worsted stockings were first made in 1865 by William Rycer of London. Queen Elizabeth found silk stockings a necessity and brought them into general use.
