increase the appetite and improve
digestion, thereby bringing them
more strength from their food.

State Administrator
 Speaks At Dedication
Wm. J. Farley Reviews Work of PWA at Ceremonies in Prospect t-33 Schools Erected in 4-Year Period

William J. Farley, state PWA. ad- fninistrator, delivered an address on the work of the state organization yesterday afternoon at the dedica- ton exercises of the new Prospect school, new one story building which was completed by PWA labor.
 His address is as follows:
 "As state director of the Public Works Administration for Connec- ticut, 1t has become my pleasant privilege to take part in the dedi- cation ceremonies of your new school.
 This building is located centrally, with ample grounds in the rear for outdoor recreational activities. The architecture is simple and pleasing and carries out the traditional New England Colonial design. The school is a one story brick edifice, with a basement containing a large assembly hall, On the main floor are four class rooms, library and clinic room. The building is modern, well planned, well lighted and ventilated. There are accom- modatoins for about 150 pupils This school replaces three small antiquated and isolated buildings formerly used for school purposes.
 The Public Works Administration has played a substantial part in the construction of this fine public work. A grant of 45 per cent oi the estimated cost of the project uOt to exceed $20,187 was made by the Federal Government through PWA Our engineers approved the plans and specifications. They have main- tained a constant inspection service to see that the plans and Specift- tions were carefully carried out, and have been available at all times to your architect, your contractor, and your building committee for infor- nation and advice.
 By constructing, this school at this time, the Town of Prospect has con- tributed materially to unemploy- ment relief. It is estimated that daily average of 57 men were em- ployed on this project for forr 1HOIlULlS. EVA CIlSlilccTS CotAALAd tS that employment for 243 persons was furnished for the same period "of the site" of construction in supplying those actually doing the construction work with materials and equipment. Thus some 300 per sons have bene given employment for four months when work was urgently needed. Of the construc- tion cost of about $44,860, we esti- mate that $26,00O was spent for ma terials and about $19,000 for labor on the site of construction. r
 It is interesting to note that this school is one of B in the, State of Connecticut that PWA has assisted in building in the past four years Nine of these schools have been iy1 New Haven county. A total of 45 schools have been built in that period in this state. Thus, PWA, since its inception, has had part in constructing aobut 75 per cent of our school buildings. These B schools have cost about $5,750, 0,OOO,

of which over $2,125,OOO has been furnished by the federal govern ment. These schools have accomIno- dations for over '13,5OO. It IS fair to assume that without PWA as sistance such highly useful projects would not have been built at this time.
 I trust that the environment of this school will stimulate the youth of your community to that goal so earnestly sought by educators . citizenship of the highest type to cary on the traditions of our great country.
 In closing, let me express my appreciation of the splendid co- operation PWA has received from your Building Committee, your Architect, and your Contractor, during the construction of this school. It has been pleasure to be associated with them in this work, of which we may all feel justly proud"
