taking on men and women from time to time and the monthly re- ports from the State Employment Bureau office tend to show . dee crease in unemployment in the Wa tetbury district Such conditions tn. dicate that many of the persons who have received recent and per. Fnanent employment come from families that have heretofore been solely supported by soEno member who is employed by the WpA.
 It is probable, then. that when the current investigation reveals such existing conditions, the mena- Der of the family employed by the WpA will be declared ineligible for further work. When and if the person is dropped, the department of welfare will be better able to take care of some person or family currently in need of direct relief and place such individuals on the WPA.
 The context of the new forms in- dicates that the current investi- gation will he thorough. The form, when filled by the WPA worker, will clearly explain the present financial status of the man or woman inves. tigated.

Connecticut, under the leadership of Samuel Ferguson as state chair man and Viggo E. Bird as vice. chairman, has become the first of the 4S states to organize and active- ly conduct It's part of the national campaign to obtain funds for the Thomas A. Edison Foundation, the object of which is to commemorate the great inventor by providing ai- nual scholarships for 100 young men and women of promising tale ents in industrial science, and by preserving the originals, replicas and records of Edison's inventions, as well as his famous library and laboratory.
 To the 100 young men and women who will be provided with scholar- ships from the Edison foundation fund lack of scholastic qualifications will not be Q barrier. The founda. ton Is especially interested in eri. couraging talented young men and women who are now working in inc dustry. It Is proposed that this type of candidate shall be nominated by the industries, since the industrial organizations know who their most promising workers are. A second class will be youth in colleges or post graduate courses, to be noEni. mated by faculties on tho basis Of previous attainments in research, laboratories or technical schools. There will be third class of un- attached working youth wherever found. The grants will have no uni" form values nor be spread over any predetermined length of time. They may be made to successful canal" dates in the palceS where they arc then working, the plan being to place them where they can Ind the best possible research facilities and counsel for developing their ideas and experiments to the practical stage.
