City's Department Of Welfare Facing
 Unusual Situation
plicated By Age Barrier Erected By Factories, Report Disappointed Applicants

Rapid developments in WPA and PWA curtailment are presenting new and more embarrassing prob lens to the city's welfare depart ment.
 Within the past few days a score or more men with relief status, phy- sically capable and well qualified for work, have found themselves without employment and once more in the line of applicants for relief. They have become as they express ed 1t forgotten men in the shuf- fie."
 Incidentally the situation repre- sents fare-up in the controversy, which the Democrat has emphasiz- ed of late that men over 40 years of age are experiencing difficulty in finding employment in local fac- tories.
 New Set-Up
 The present arrangement, as 1t was explained to the Democrat to- day, shows that there are some sixty men, who worked at one time for the WPA and later for the PWA, and who were admittedly the best men on the WPA, now unable to get themselves reinstated. With the close of the PWA projects in and around Waterbury during the past two months, these men, who were transferred from the WPA, also dis covered that the WPA roles throughout the state were being curtailed.
 Therefore, when they reported back for work on the WPA they found that there were no jobs. The local men .n charge of placemenst had received orders from the New Haven office, 1t Is assumed, to add no more men to the WPA roles.
 Back in Line
 Some time last summer when the PWA began to take WPA employees from the local projects, 1t was stated that the contractors running PWA projects would take only the best qualified men. Now that many of the PWA projects are completed, the contractors have no further use for the men and they are back on relief, unable to get back on the WrA roles because of the curtail- meIit.
 When asked why these laborers, If they are considered the cream of the WPA crop, could not secure pri- vate employment; the answer was explicit. Most of the men, he said, are too old, they are over 40 years of age and find 1t difficult to get jobs in local factories. It was further stated that these men, for the most part, were registered at the employ mept office. This proves that they want work. So the situation at the present time clearly indicates that the best men excluding those who have been taken directly from the WPA by the factories, are now forc- ed to accept direct relief in order to take care of themselves and their families.

Best Known Cop Given OvercOat By Santa Claus

After shivering through several weeks of cold, snow and rain, Waterbury's best known police- man had a new oyercoat today. Properly grateful, he was pre- pared to go back to duty.
 Search of the records failed to disclose when he got his last new apparel but 1t must have been at least 6 year ago. Since then he has had the same covering, win ter and summer.
 The new overcoat is of regula- ton dark blue, and 1t fits per- fectly the figure of Elmer, the Brass City's wooden traffic po- liceman. Elmer had new coat painted on him today by Maurice Ryan, police department painter who also lifted Elmer's lips little so he'd lose that dejected look he's had since he was removed from duty in the center of the city and sent to the outskirts.
 
 Elmer did valiant service for a time at Stanley park, on East Main street. Then he was trans ferred to Waterville, where he was struck several times and chipped by heartless motorists. Elmer went to the wooden po- licemens' hospital, where he was duly repaired.
 Then he was sent to do traffic duty at the Naugatuck and Platts Mills roads, where he has stood with upraised hand these many months. As soon as his new coat (of paint dries, Elmer will go back to the same post.

 The present situation is also ham, pering the work which is being done at the present time by the local WPA. Unable to secure men who are admittedly the best workers the program is carried on with a re- duced and not most expert staff What the future developments will be no one seems to know.

CONSTITUTION DAY

Just l49 years ago today the Constitution of the United States adopted by the convention called for that purpose. It September IT. 1787 It took years for ratification by the several states and it March 1789 before it actually went into operation
 Not in the 149 years since its adoption has the Constitution been the subject of controversy than in the last two three years, primarily due to acts of Congress which have gone to the Supreme Court for passage to their validity. Some have been cast aside others upheld Thus the nation has become as the popular saying goes Constitution conscious It is happy situation, and it may be that it has caused few of citizens to read the document It is worth reading at intervals. It is particularly apropos to read it at the present time in view of the vast amount of propaganda that is being spread relative to it. a means of political end It doesn't require judge of the Supreme Court to anayze the Constitution for the purposes of the average citizen. It is written in simple language that any who has completed the eighth grade in school readily understand It is suggested that the next time you hear bell wether shouting in the wilderness about the Constitution, that you procure a copy of the document (easily available in the Library and in many history books) and read for yourself You will be surprised how often there will be evidence that the ranter apparently isn't familiar even with the preamble.

 "A suggestive patient-and TO per cent are-has only to accept sug- gestions for anaesthesia and he can submit to the forceps or drill confi- dent that he will feel nothing, either at the time or afterwards
