UNEMPLOYMENT
CENSUS CARDS
BEING MAILED
SENT OUT TODAY; MUST BE
RETURNED TO LOCAL POST
OFFICE NOT LATER THAN
NOVEMBER 20

Cards for the national unem-
ployment census are being mailed
to local residents today. The
cards must be filled out and re-
turned to the local postoffice not
later than November 20, giving
the unemployed four days in which
to properly answer all questions.
Postmaster Sam Harris states
that clerks will gladly assist any
one desiring to file a card.
All persons at work on emer-
gency work projects of the gov
eminent are also included in this
census.
The number of employed will be
determined from information Sc
cured by voluntary individual
registration. A card to be filled
in and returned to the post office
will be delivered to every dwell
ling. These cards will be for
warded by the post office to the
National Unemployment Census.
Completed cards must be mailed
before midnight, November 90.
No postage stamps are needed.
The form of the registration
card to be used in this census was
determined by a statutory COM
mittee composed of cabinet MEM
bers and heads of the Federal
agencies most directly concerned
with the problems of unemploy.
ment.
The card to be used in this CEN
sus lists IA questions about each
individual who registers. Each
question is fundamental for an
understanding of the problem of
unemployment. President Roose-
welt said in his message to every
worker: ''It is important to the
unemployed and to every one in
this land that the census be com.
plete, honest and accurate"
The confidential nature of the
answers to questions on the I'm
employment Report Card will be
respected by the Administration
of the National Unemployment
Census. The names of signers
viii not be published or made in
any manner.
Postmaster Harris informed
The Citizen just before press time
that one of these cards have been
placed in each house in Key West,
and that no returns have been
made as yet. The carriers dis
tributed them today, and they will
report back to the postoffice at a
late hour this afternoon.
WPA Census
Census of the number of en-
playable persons in Key West and
Monroe county, was completed
yesterday by those to whom the
work was consigned, ana the rec
orxls sent to Jacksonville.
The number of employable per-
sons was given at about 5000, and
Of this number approximately 3d.
.0oe are coiisidered unemployed.
This number includes those who
are at work on the roads and
bridges and other allied govern
ment projects.
Reason for the classification as
unemployed is that this class of
work is not stable, and may be
brought to an end within a short
time, comparatively.
This census was authorized the
early part of November, and as
announced in The Citizen OF No
vember 5. was prepared by Miss
Mary FaIk and Claude Gandolfo,
of the WPA employment service.

Family Vacations

While Vice President Garner has been fishing in Texas, his wife, who is also his secretary, has been touring in New Mex ico, taking her first vacation away from her husband. Her report on returning home is interesting. She says, T think MT. Garner was happier to see me than can remember in long time."
 Both husbands and wives may digest that statement according to their under standing. The moral will be nothing new to people who know something about human nature or read the women's page. Even the most happily mated couples are supposed to find that an occasional SC ;- ration does them both good and renews their appreciation of each other.
 There is another interesting angle to the present case. AS rule, such separa- tion is most advisable in case of fishing trips. It is rare and understanding woman who shares her husbands love for fishing.

Running Up
Ascent of Carriage Road to Summtiit of Mount Washington in Presidential Range
 Brinps New Records
Brings New Records
NEW HAVEN JoURNAL-CoURIER

There are ninety-nlne curves along the eight miles of the old car- riage road climbing up to the top of Mount Washington, the presiding peak of the Presidential Range and the "Grandstand of New England" and he who negotiates them all on foot has the thrill of achieving by his own efforts the finest view in
 the northeast states. No one knows whether the Indians ever succumbed to that typical white mans urge to do something for the. mere sake of doing 1t and climbed to the Wash ington eminence, so that pioneer who reached the summit in l642 can claim in his heavenly abode the honor of seeing the premiere pre- view of that sweep across three states and into Canada. And if hts spirit still haunts the spot, he will witness at least l5.000 persons pa- rading their way to the peak this summer.
 Rocky Mountain folk would call this mountain 6 little bump, Q minor molehill, and the inhabitants of the Himalayas would probably profess not to see 1t at all. From the first discovery there has been no attempt to make much of the actual altitude
 No mountain climber would boast of scaling It's height. Oddity has often featured reports, such samples aa the story of the 23o-pound woman who walked up and walked down and danced that night at a hotel nearby or the tale of another wo- man who drove team of five Es- kimo dogs and e 200-pound sled all the way to the top and return. But speed has been always the prize
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-05
Rather a Technicality

Senator William E. Borah, republican, holds that President Franklin D. Roose- welt cannot legally name a successor to Justice Willis Van Devanter on the United States Supreme Court. The Senator either believes firmly in his claim or else he makes 1t in the hope that 1t will divert the Presidents attention from his avowed purpose of changing the court set-up by revamping it. Senator Borah bases hls claim on the fact that Justice Van Devan- ter merely retired from office and did not submit resignation.
 However, Attorney General Homer s. Cummings has assured the President that he is empowered to appoint successor after 1t adjourns. There will be few of us to argue the question, for after all is said and done the obvious purpose of Justice Van Devanter in giving up his judicial office was complete retirement. He cer- tainly did not return to private life with the thought that such action would pre- vent successor being named.
 If Senator Borah, acknowledgedly an authority on constitutional law, is right in his contention, 1t is barely possible that P1AO1 @PPOAANAlcAVo " kile SOuIV "ouiu have to be reviewed. For example, we might have to go back to 1882 when the late revered Oliver Wendell Holmes fin- ally cast aside his judicial robes and was succeeded by Justice Benjamin Cardoza. Investigation may show that Justice Holmes resigned, which would not arouse hng debate, but should he have merely stiroA, as Senator Borah puts tt, what kould be our procedure today.

Tammany Hall has new chief It's Rep. Christopher B. Sullivan of New York's 18th congressional district. He is from New York's East Side and was the odds-on favorite to succeed the late James J. Dooling almost from the mo- ment the latter's death was announced What his election will mean to the ap- preaching city election is yet to be deter mined. Tammny Hall is still split on the question and Rep. Sullivan will have his work cut out for him in getting all fac- tions together. If he can do 1t he will be a pretty important figure politically and probably could write any sort of ticket for himself.

Reliable statistics in the State Treas urers office show that there are only two persons holding state bonds right now. One is Miss Kelsey s. Mcdonald, ad- dress unknown; the other is an unidenti- fled holder of $100 bond. Both bonds were issued in 1870 and the state wants to redeem them, but can't until they are presented or their holders are located. 1t doesn't do any good to hold the bonds as they aren't drawing interest.

FLOOD CONTROL, NOT POWER
, (Mer,den JournaD

(Meriden JournaD
 There's c line painted across Q lumber company shed in Portland showing the peak of the flood in the Connecticut river that inun- dated e large section of Middletown and vicinity last year. Townspeo- pie see that line and shudder, won- dering when the now calm waters will go crazy again and wondering, too, why the government doesn't dc something about 1t. That feeling ia shared by all river residents.
 Government moves slowly but it has moved to the extent of Q com pact entered into by Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire for the construction of flood control reservoirs on the headwaters of Ole Man River, no- tably in Vermont and New Hamp- shire. The federals would stand much of the expense and they can't think even remotely of water with out connecting 1t up with electric power. ~.., .....
 They fyown hard on terms of the intrastate compact which reserves the right to develop water power to the states involved, instead of giv- ing this control to the national power commission, and they're mak- ing fuss and delay about 1t.
 Flood sufferers can't be blamed if they lose patience with this fud- ding at Washington, the while that nothing is being done to save them from another disastrous flood. Az persons at all familiar with the subject know, flood control reser- voirs, such as already have been constructed in Vermont with excel- lent results, are not power produc- CTS and, If 50 designated, are not so effective in flood control. But the water power is not needed now and there Is considerable doubt that it ever will be, any more than Maine needed the huge Passamaquoddy project. What the residents of Mid- dletown, Hartford, Springfield and other cities and towns want Is some protection against floods 50 they won't be drowned out.
 The Federal power commission il so obsessed with making power out of water that 1t can't see 6 mill stream without computing the kilo- watt possibilities. People living in dread of floods are not worrying about unwanted power, and they don't relish ofhcial qiiibbling.
