The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-30

Some 200 delegates representing l3 groups in various cities and towns of the state heard 6 spirited plea for temperance by Most Rev. Maurice r. McAuliffe, bishop of diocese of Hartford.
 Root of Evil"
 "The need of temperance" Bishop McAuliffe said, should be preached from the housetops. It should be impressed upon families as well as individuals. If Q survey were to be made of the cause of all evil in the world today, I think drink would be found to be the root of all evil. Everywhere today we see empha- sized the need of making every ef- fort to insure the welfare of youth"
 Federal agencies" he declared, "hGve recognized the need of care of the young. Activities of all kinds are provided for their physi- cal well-being but no attempt has been made to impress on them their moral responsibility. There is re- quired an organized effort to im- press need of faithfulness to the principles of right reason. If drink Is detrimental to the welfare of a human being 1t should be avoided" l"
 Of the CTAU, he said that while the organization may not be large in numbers, he found them . nucleus for a great movement to come and it is coming sooner or later" Tn closing, he urged the con- tinuance of the CTAU's efforts to make 1t clear that your cause Is worthy of support"

New FireprOof Jackets Placed On Wires Here

A fireproof jacket for telephone cables, first of its kind in Con- necticut, is now safeguarding long distance calls along the New Haven Waterbury route.
 While the lead sheath of telephone cable protects hundreds of wires against weather and other common hazards, 1t wasn't designed to withstand intense heat from a burning building. Hence telephone engineers, alert to every conceivable hazard, drowned when new construction brought houses within ten feet of the New Haven Waterbury cable along Mulberry Hill road in Naugatuck. A burn ing house in that rural area could earsily melt telephone cables, fusing 300 pairs of wires into a jumbled mass and cut ting off telephone communica- ton between towns and cities along the line.
 An asbestos wrapper for the cable was the solution. Much like the covering over basement furnace pipes, 1t coves 140 feet of cable where it runs near houses in Mulberry road. Tested in the Bell Telephone Laboratories at New York, the wrapper was sub- jected to blast furnace heat, arti- ficial rainstorms, and the bumps or knocks which 1t might get in ordinary usage. Even possible trouble from birds nesting within the wrapper has been foreseen and forestalled by & wire netting which covers the open ends.
