LIMIT ON SOCIAL
 SECURITY STAFF
Personnel Here Not to Ex- ceed SeveD--Ml Ap-
 pOintees Must Qualify

Waterburys social securiety office stan will not exceed seven and possibly less at the outset, 1t is re- liably reported. The Boston security board, under which the. local ohce will function, has issued notice that U. 8. civil service lists are now avail- able in excess of the present etn- ployment possibilities. John Pearson, New England regional director of the SS board, is authority for this as- sertion.
 As stated in The Democrat on Saturday, preference must be giv- e11 persons already on the civil serv- ice list of the local post office. If there are typists or other sorts of clerks available here sufficient to fill the needs of the local SS office no hiring will be don from out of town civil service lists.
 The Waterbury social security of- flee, which will be located in the Jones-Morgan building on Bank street, will not open until about the middle of January, if not later. MT. Pearson today said:
 "Only a limited number of per- sons will be employed in the few field offices which are being estab- lished for the administration of the federal old-age benefits program un- der the social security act.
 Any such positions are being f1ll- ed from lists eligible candidates pro- vided by the U. s. civil service com- mission as a result of examinations previously conducted.
 "The existing lists of qualified civil service candidates for managerial and clerical positions in these field offices are well in excess of any employment opportunities which ex- ist at present or are contemplated in the near future.
 Confusion Apparent
 Numerous inquiries indicate there is general misunderstanding of the number of positions contemplated by the social security board. The tenn porary employment by the post of- flee department during December of a number of typists to prepare the basic insurance account records for the social security board has led some to believe that there will be opportunity for temporary employ ment in the field offices. This is not the case. No temporary appoint ments of persons lacking federal civil service eligibility are contem- plated for any of our offices"

of questions which 1t would like every interested person to answer.
 This questionnaire, a copy of which is printed in The Democrat, has been sent to about 10000 per- sons who regularly receive Con necticut Safety, monthly publica- tion issued by the commission. Thee interested mya i'll out the questionnaire, and return 1t to the commission office at IS Lewis street Hartford
 Legislative Matters
 The questions, the commission says, may not relate to the most important highway problems, but deal with matters before the com mission in one form or another and with subjects which may become or recommendations for action by state or local authorities.
 If the response to this question naire indicates that the procedure is of value, it is planned to compile other lists of questions. Thus, the people of the state will have an op- portunity to express opinions on all of the important matters relating to highway safety and motor vehicle operation.
 The commission prefers that all returned questionnaries be signed, but this procedure is not required. The opinions and information re- quested are primarily for compila- tion and research. All names will be treated conf1dentially and the ans- wers used only as part of the class flied totals.
 While the commission now re- ceives and welcons comment on motor vehicle problems, it requests that answers to this questionnaire be made merely "Yes" or No or by a check as indicated. This will aid in classification of answers. No obligations will be assumed by any- one signing the form and the con1- reserves the right to use the answers in research work.

SOUTH DAKOTA
 LOSES SENATOR
Peter Norbeck, 66, Repub- lican, Died Sunday; To
 Be Buried Wednesday

Redf1eld, S. D., Dec. 21--(UP)- Sen. Peter Norbeck, 66, republican member of the U. s. senate for 16 years, will be buried Wednesday.
 Norbeck died yesterday from a heart attack induced by epithelioma, a cancerous condition. His condition had been precarious for nine months.
 Norbeck was governor from 1916 to 1920, when he went to the sen- ate. Outspoken and independent, he persistetnly ignored party lines on pet issues and called himself Q Theodore Roosevelt republican. He supported President Roosevelt for reelection.
 Norbeck's term does not expire until 1888. Political friends debated the possibility that democratic Gov. Tom Berry might resign before his term expires Jan. to be named to carry out Norbeck's unexpired term.
 Friend of New Deal
 Washington, Dec. 21 = (UP) = Death of Sen. Peter Norbeck, r., 8. D., today reduced the already small republican membership in the sen- ate from IT to 16 and removed one of congress most liberal and pro- gressove members.
 Although nominally republican, Norbeck voted for most New Deal measures and actively supported President Roosevelt in the recent political campaign.

BOOTLECCERS OF
 COAL ARE PROBED

Pottsville, Pa., Dec. 21-(UP)- Governor George H. Earle began to- day a three-day automobile tour of the anthracite fields to study the operations of 30,00O "bootleggers" earning a livelihood by taking about 100000 tons of coal annually from land owned by others.
 Accompanied by three members of his cabinet, union leaders aind mine operators and engineers, Earle sought a solution of this greatest conflict the state has even seen be- tween property and moral rights"
 The mushroom growth of boot leg" operators began when the big coal companies ignored small scale invasions of their lands by unem- ployed miners during the depres- sion. Now the legitimate operators are urging state officials to use poe lice and national guardsmen. if necessary, to check the greatly ex- banded parasitic" industry.
 "Bootleggers" market much of their output at cut prices in Phila- delphia, New York. Baltimore. Washington and other eastern cities. It is estimated they have divided more than s35,000,000 in Illegal" revenue.

PROPERTY MIX-UP
 CONFUSES STATE

Wahpeton, N. D. (U.P)--Beea,ise of a bit of spite war, nearly 30 years ago, a part of the state of North Dakota became part of Minnesota. And due to the confused situation, owners of tract of Minnesota land for years have paid their taxes on the property to North Dakota,
 The mix-up came about back Tn 1880 shortly after old Fort Aber- crofnbie was moved from it's origi- nal site near here to new ioca- ton. As old-timers recall it, 8 troop of soldiers visited the fort at its new site. There were a number of Indians present. some of whom ap- parently bootlegged whiskey.
 At any rate, the soldiers became intoxicated and qiarreled with the half-breeds, who routed them after several heads had been broken.
 Tn retaliation. the soldiers armed themselves with spades and shovels and dug a ditch diverting the river from it's regular channel to the low area on which the fort originally stood.
 The stream rushed through the ditch and rieandered through the lowlands. The channel has re- mained virtually unchanged since that date. As q result, part of North Dakota was placed on the Minnesota side of the river. And since the boundary between the two states is the center of the Red River channel, the land cut off E legally a part of Minnesota.
 The confused situation was dis clgssd hy army engineers. who con. ducted q survey in connection with a Red River valley water conser- walton project

Pascal has said: "Kind words
never blister the tongue or lips
And we never heard of any mental
trouble arising from this quarter
Though they do not cost much, they
accomplish much. They help ones
own good nature and good will
Soft words soften our own soul;
Angry words add fuel to the flame
of wrath and make it blaze more
fiercely.
Kind words make other people
good-natured. Cold words freeze
people, and hot words scorch them,
and bitter words make them bitter,
and wrathful words make them
wrathful. There is such rush OF
all other kinds of words in our day
that it seems desirable to give kind
words chance among them. There
are vain words, and idle words, and
hasty words, and spiteful words,
and silly words, and empty words,
and profane words, and boisterous
words and war-like words. Kind
words also produce their own image
on mems souls. And beautiful
image it is. They soothe and quiet
and comfort the hearer. They shame
him out of his sour, morose, unkind
feelings. We have not yet begun to
use kind words in such abundance
as they ought to be used"

Do NOT TELL CHILD THAT
OTHERS ARE BETTER

Mothers who tell one Of their
children how much faster or how
much better one child works than
one of the others are more apt to
arouse antagonism among the chill
dren than to persuade the backward
one to work faster or more skillful-
ly, according to Dr. Amalie X. Nell
SON. of Columbus.
The proper method, this specialist
in child training says, is to encour-
age the backward youngster by
praising the things he does well and
to help him with the things with
which he is not so successful DR..
Nelson declares that children from
IL to IS months old will show jeal-
ousy when another child is given
more attention by his parents.
Anger is another subject that is
given considerable attention by this
child specialist in the bulletin,
Helping Children to Learn" which
was written for the agricultural ex-
tension service of Ohio State Uni
versity. The author says that a
child's anger sometimes is an imi-
tation of the emotional traits dis
played by the parents.
The child should not be permitted
to gain it's desires by a display of
anger, but the parent should not
lose her own temper in quelling the
disturbance. The small child which
throws itself on the floor and cries
when told to get ready for bed
should be picked up and carried to
bed.
Lack of sleep and hunger are two
causes given by Dr.. Nelson for un-
usual displays of temper by chill
dren Outdoor exercise often is the
needed cure for sullen looks and
whining voices. The tone of voice
used by the parent in requesting the
child to do some task may also be
the clue to the response of the child.
The 4O-page bulletin on child train
ing can be obtained free from any
Ohio county extension agent.
