EXCHANGE PLACE
 WORK COMPLETED
Paving Project Finished; !; Traffic Lane Opens To-
 night or Tomorrow

Exchange Place will be complete ly open to traffic late today or to- morrow, Executive Secretary Thom- as P. Kelly said today. The paving in the central area has been com- pleted, and workmen were only waiting to remove the covering from the asphalt as soon as 1t was com pletely cool.
 Only small portion of Exchange Place has been closed to trafiic the past few days, with most of the road being open to automobile traf- fic.
 Paving work is being continued on Willow street, with most of the sewer work which was holding Up actual construction having been completed.
 Homer street, which is being paved by the street department, will be open to traffic in about three weeks, 1t is estimated. Paving work on Con- gress avenue, Is progressing rapidly as IS the paving project at Willow, West Main and Meadow streets.
 The street department has begun the restricting of Roseland avenue from Columbia boulevard to Cooke street. This being done to meet re- quirements of new sidewalks on either side of the street.
 Opening of all Exchange Place will greatly relieve the traffic con- gestion which has prevailed in the center since the construction work was begun.

WATER SUPPLIES
 IMPROVE BEAUTY
Pine Planted Watershed Slopes Create Scenic
 Connecticut Scenes

Connecticut landscape, now being publicized to the country at large by the state publicity commission as one of the states greatest natural assets and being proclaimed by many famous people as one of the chief reasons why they live in Connecti- cut, is not in all cases natural, for many of Its finest beauty spots are man-made. The landscape is dotted with scores of man-made scenes of beauty in the form of public water supply developments with their long stretches of impounded water and their thousands and thousands of acres of carefully forestated wa- tersheds.
 Forestation and retorestation op- erations on Connecticut watersheds have been pursued for many years, and even during the years of the de- pression the water surrly utilities have planted hundreds of thousands of new seedlings annually. Some of the larger water companies in Connecticut have planted practical " RAA 0v0AA80AS W0bSA0AAGA 0RuSCs since the raising of timber is the only enterprise which can be prac- ticed on drainage land, good sarli- tation making agriculture and other types Of rural pursuits impos- sible.
 Although the water companies do not obtain any large amount of revenue from the sale of timber and of young growths for decorative purposes, they are nevertheless able to obtain from this source some re. turn from land which due to these sanitary reasons would otherwise be completely idle and without income,
 Practically all of the trees now planted by the water utilities in this state gre pines, since this species growth is more easily con. trolIed than that Of hard wood trees and since it produces more board feet per acre. MoE6oyer, the

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 26-(UP)- Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, president of the American Guild for German cultural freedom, said today the or ganization would sponsor this fall a New York exhibition of paintings and sculptures by German artists whose work is banned in Germany. No date has been set for the ex- hibition, the Governor said. A committee composed of outstanding American artists and critics is ar- ranging details.
 Germany" Gov. Cross said, "has always had an excellent array of artists and scholars who have con- tributed greatly to ilie cultural growth of our times. With the ad- vent of the present government, the works of many artists, like the books of liberal writers. were with drawn from general circulation in Germany,

All uildings On Site ToBe Moved By New
 Owners, Says Harris
Residents of Upper West Side Hill NeedIessy Dis- turbed By Rumors - Action Expected on Offer
 of Prospective Buyer By September

F., in regard to the sale of the vil- lage for some time. It has been understood. since the beginning of our dealings, that the amusement company, if they bought the exhibit, would move the whole affair out of town.
 No further statement could be elicited from Mir. Harris in regard to the possibility of selling the en- tire Village before September l. If 1t Is not sold by that time, accord- ing to instructions he has received from the board of directors, the in- dividual buildings will be sold at a public auction.
 Wrong Impression
 First word of the fact that the Brooklyn concern was iSterested in the purchase of the Village ap- peared in the Democrat on August 17, at which time 1t was stated that a letter had been received from Nat Berg, a representative of the company, asking for information in regard to terms.
 Since that time, apparently, peo- pie residing in the neighborhood have gotten the mistaken idea that the local Village corporation was planning to sell the village and ale low the purchasers to open up an amusement park on the present site.

have been no demands that mes- sengers be sent to give the best girls a birthday kiss, either.
 But there are strange requests. Take 1t from Thomas O'Day and Theodore Hill, both 16, and both messengers for the Western Union.
 "One boy had to go out and crawl in a window because the fam- fly had forgotten their key" said Thomas.
 Another boy had to go to meet the bus and find man who was wanted by someone in Water bury" said "Ted" Hill.
 Mostly, 1t is routine in Water bury, however. The boys carry lug gage for salesmen, do errands.
 At the Western Union oftlce 1t was unofficially stated that there would be no kissing messengers" The Postal Telegraph office in New York already has put ban on such behavior.
 Possibly there will be relaxation of the edicts come Valentines Day. And then, if you like, you might be able to send your kisses any, where you please and be sure that they'd be delivered with proper gusto by some dashing messenger boy,

Anti Kissing Ban Here Telegraph Companies Protest Kisses by Wire Other Strange Requests Part of Daily Service
 Youngsters Discover

It's just an old French custom.
 But the messenger boys em- ployed by wire services in Water bury won't have any of 1t.
 Seems down in New York where men are men and practical jokers celebrate when the stock market recovers from Q summer slump, there was e strange happening the other day. One pal called the Postal Telegraph company and or- dered e messenger sent out to see another pal, also masculine" and the messenger vas to kiss the sec- ond pal.
 There was a message signed with c girls name. But the point of the affair was the kiss by tele- graph. When the company officials learned about t through ensuing publicity. they placed a ban on 'all kisses by messenger"
 Here in Waterbury there have been no similar requests. The boys in blue and khaki have made no sacrifices to the self-respect of manly youth which might result from being ordered around the to VII bestowing kisses on sundry men, bearded, clean-shaven or in between. It has not been Q ques-
