WPA Payroll Delays
To Be Checked Soon
State Administrator Hurley to Exert All Means to
Eliminate Similar Occurrences OF Past Few Months

for the state, who succeeded Mat
thew DAILY, announced that exertion
Of every means to do away with
WPA payroll delays which have oc-
CURED In several instances during
the past few months will be UNDER
taken.
This announcement assures local
workers there will be none OF those
one and tWo-day lapses between
the end OF o. work period and the
day designated for receiving pay
envelopes. AS matter OF fact, this
city has not suffered greatly as O
result OF such delays, though there
have been occasional instances when
the workers were not paid on time.
In the future, there will be on walt
Ing for pay.
The state director stated in the
future there will be no assignment
OF projects to towns or cities where
there was not O force Of men large
enough to accomplish the work.
Further commenting on the staet
setup, the new administrator
stressed the fact no member OF his
administrative staff could b. active
In political circles.
The general outline Of policy for
the state also provides for coopera-
ton between the WPA and state
and local officials and the estab-
lishment Of quotas for towns and
cities on the basis Of relief case
loads. This last provision, though
no word has been released as yet
In connection with II, may mean q
slight increase In the local quota.
Unless almost unbelievable changes
have taken place during the past
three months, Waterbury Is still un-
provided with an adequate WPA
quota, as compared to other Con-
nncticiit cltieg

Alas. that those who know 1t all
Are surely riding for q fall!
-Reddy Fox.

EDDY FOX and Mrs. Reddy
J still kept track Of their chill
dren who had left home.
i \ They knew where each one
was living. Two of them, the Timid
One and the one who had been known
as the Weakling. had left home to-
gether and were still living together
in a pasture long way from the Old
Pasture where they had been born.
1t wasn't 50 far, however, but that
their father occasionally visited it.
Reddy Is at times a great traveller. So
it was that he visited this pasture
on one of his hunting trips and dis
covered the two young Foxes living
there.
For time Reddy kept out Of sight.
He wanted to learn all he could about
these children of his without their
being aware of it. Finally he made
his presence known. OF course the
two young Foxes were glad to see him.
Would you like to return to your
old home in the Old Pasture?" asked
Reddy.
The young Foxes shook their heads.
Even the Timid One was very positive
that she didn't want to return to the
old home. You see, they had tasted
independence, and nothing can quite
take the place of independence.
Reddy grinned. I'm glad to hear
you say it," said he. You seem to be
nicely fixed here. If you are careful I
don't see why you shouldn't get along
very nicely OF course you'll separate
after a while and each have a home
of your own. There Is q Dog that
lives not far from here, q Dog who
delights in chasing Foxes. ! advise
you to keep out of his way"
I'VE know all about him." said the
smart young Fox who, you remember.
had been chased by that Dog and had
broken the trail with running water.
Reddy shook his head. mo, you
don't" said he. "You may know
something about him, but you don't
know all about him. Tell me what
you do know"
So the young Fox told him she had
tried to break the trail by jumping
off to one side, but had failed. She
told how she had run in the flock of
sheep. Reddy nodded.
You discovered for yourself, my
dear, an old Fox trick. It's good one,
too. I've used it more than once my
self. 1t is especially good when the
ground is dry and the scent lies some
what faint. I have even jumped on
the back of one of those critters and
ridden a little way. I suppose you
got rid of that Dog then"
NO" replied the young Fox. He
found my trail again after while.
but I made a great discovery; I dis
covered that running water carries
no scent"
Then she told Reddy just what she
had done. how she had waded in the
water of the brook and how the Dog
had at last given up.
1T was very clever of you, my DEAR"
said Reddy. 1T was very clever of
you. am glad that you found out
for yourself the value of running
water. 1t is great help to Fox who
is being chased, but there are Dogs
smarter than that one. It Is well to
know some other tricks. You are not
always where you can get to running
water and Dogs can be fooled, even
smart Dogs. without the help of water.
