Many persons have asked The
Citizen about old age pensions,
and not few have requested that
the procedure for securing the
pension be outlined for them in
order that they may apply.
In order to give a clear and
concise explanation of the pro-
cedure and the principal things
which are to be considered, the
following statement, given by one
who is thoroughly conversant with
every phase of the matter viii
prove of invaluable assistance to
those who are seeking aid from
this source:
cold Age Assistance as pro-
vided under the 1887 Florida We'll
fare Law and the National Sc
curity Act is not a pension. 1t does
not provide for flat payments of
$50 per month to each eligible in
dividual. Thirty dollars is just
the top figure beyond which
monthly payments may not go.
Monthly payments may be for
any figure below $50. The amount
which an individual receives is
based upon two factors: individ-
ual's actual needs and the amount
of money the state appropriates.

Mention Has Been Made
OF Interference With
Telephone Lines Due
To CareIessness

Care should be at all times
taken to avoid any interference
with the telephone lines which are
laid along the bridges and keys,
and extreme carefulness should be
evidenced at this season of the
year, when the sOcalled 'fhur-
ricane" period is approaching,
was statement made by an of
fieiaI of the government yester-
day.
Reason for this statement, it
was pointed out, was because of
a number of reports of interrupted
communication between the light
houses on the reef and local head
quarters caused by unintentiOnaI
interference resulting from care
lessness on the part of operators
on the bridge projects.
These lines are maintained by
the Coast Guard Communication
Service, it was said, and on sew
eral occasions recently it was
found impossible to secure service
between lighthouses on the reef
and headquarters of the coast
guard and the lighthouse depart
ment
Investigation has shown that
carelessness on the part of those
working along the route has
caused a break in the lines which
has precluded the possibility of
communication between the shore
and the lighthouses, thereby
eliminating the chance of adj
visory being sent to Key West
from lighthouses.
Recently there was completed
a system whereby advisory storm
warnings could be Immediately
sent to the weather bureau from
any of three points on the Florida
Reef, Sombrero Reef, Carysfort
and Tortugas. Of course Tortugas
communication with Key West is
with the radiotelephone, from the
other two points by regular teIe-
phones.
As announced in The Citizen
several weeks ago Carysfort light
house Sombrero Lighthouse and
Tortugas station, were recently
equipped with thermometers and
weather vanes. These in addition
to the barometers always ut the
stations give the keepers at the
lights all information necessary
to keep all points in this section
thoroughly informed as to storms,
velocity of the wind and direction
from which the wind is coming.
Especially at this time it IS alb
soiutely necessary that telephone
lines from carysfort and SOM
brerO lights be maintained and
communication at all times unin.
terrupted, in order that the
weather bureau and lighthouse
depar nent win be continually in
formed as to weather conditions
and ready to give out at all times
the necessary warnings.
However, il was shown, this
win be impossible If the commu-
nication lines from these light
stations to The shore Is disrupted,
and il is for this reason that let.
tiers have been sent out this week
informing interested persons 81
the need of maintaining uninter.
rupted communication service,
and as contractors on the bridge
projects would be the creates,
sufferers in the event OF q storm
sweeping over the Keys without
warnings being given. the letters
were for the most part sent e
them, asking for their earnest co.
operation.

The British governments keen
anxiety over the fate of the Set

noon when Viscount Cranborne,

that new representations have

He did not mention American
cooperation, but it was learned
that Sir Ronald Lindsay. British
Ambassador at Washington, was
instructed to bring all possible
pressure to bear on the State De-

in the Demarche.

PROPERTY OWNERS BARRING HUNTERS
Fish, Game Association Hears Complaints on At=
 titude of Farmers

Plenty of birds but restriction or the part of land owners over allow. ing hunters to shoot on their proper. ty is the situation which confronts members of the Waterbury Fish and Game association this fall, it ap- peared at the meeting last night al the chamber of commerce.
 Many property owners have con- plained of lack of consideration by the hunters, the land committee re- ported, citing the 5000 acres of land posted three years ago against the probability that but fraction oi this terrain would be available this season. The hunting was restricted to persons with permits with the understanding that the lands were to he patrolled by game wardens.
 This year all part time wardens have been dismissed and only 24 wardens remain to cover the entire state. What action will be taken by the association remains to be de. termined

served by l0S public and semi-public systems, the larger part of which are privately owned public utility companies. There are also some sys- tems furnishing water entirely to factories and factory owned homes, and some supplies in summer col- ohies.
 The increase of 27,0OO people in the population served by the 108 systems in indicative of the rapidity with which the public systems are extending their services to reach more and more people. Such service extensions insure the new people reached, of water that is under the supervision of expert homogeneous and state and local health authori- ties. The purity of the water and its freedom from harmful bacteria is under constant surveillance by the homogeneous and the health Iauthorities, a control system which has practically eliminated water borne diseases from Connecticut.
 Expansion
 ! From about the time of the Civil
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-12

war, public water supply systems in Connecticut were developed with each year finding less and less pec- pie in the position of using water from wells and springs. The greatest expansions in Connecticut water supplies came, however, within the last dozen years during which the storage capacity was increased by about 50 per cent by all systems and by approximately 100 per cent by the privately owned and operated systems. still further expansions are now being made which will meet Connecticut's water requirements for many many years to come.
 Connecticut is said to be very for tunately situated with respect to its water supplies, since most of its water is taken fro mclean, upland waters. Because of the rapid de- velopment of those resources it has not been necessary to take water from rivers and streams subject to pollution, as is the case in many parts of the country.

JEWISH SOVEREIGN
 STATE DESCRIBED
Appeal for Palestine Funds to Be Made Here Dur=
 ing November

Campaign for funds in support of the United Palestine Appeal will be started the last week in November, it was voted last night at meeting at the Waterbury Hebrew Istitute at which Rabbi Philip Refs Alstat, of New York, described the benefits of the proposed Jewish sovereign state in Palestine. Rabbi William P. Greenfield, of Beth-El synagogue presided and Robert Silverman, na- tional chairman of the United Pales- tine Appeal, attended.
 One of the benefits of the sovereign state proposed by Great Britain is, the New York rabbi said, the facil- ities 1t would provide for admission of refugee and oppressed Jews from Europe. At present the quota is re-
