Central Green May
 Become Parking Place
Proposal To Be Submitted To Board of Aldermen =
 Plan Enthusiastically Endorsed By Many Citizens

would add greatly to traffic conges- tion in the center.
 Long Argument
 Authorities have wrestled for long years with Waterbury's park ing problem. Restrictions have been continually frightened and mo- torists have long complained that it is a near-impossibility to find a parking place near the center. Mer- chants have also complained, de- claring that parking restrictions were steadily driving business away from them.
 The, complaints reached a climax when last week end the police de- partment set up a half dozen new no-parking zones about the center of the city and set the spaces aside as bus stops. Bauby's corner has been closed to parking, eliminating a whole block of parking space. A half block across the street, along South Main street has likewise been closed to parking. No-parking rules are also now in effect at several other points in the downtown area.
 Those in favor of establishing a public parking lot on the Green claim that the plan will eventually have to be adopted and contend that the situation can be prevented from growing worse by adopting the proposal in the near future.
 Another plan being considered will not affect daytime parking, merely proposing that parking re- strictions be frightened after business hours. It is suggested that sections closed to parking during the day or with limiting parking time should be free for parking after or 2 p. m.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-07

A proposal to convert Waterbury's historic Green into public parking place is being given careful study by several prominent local citizens a. d will soon be presented to the city government for approval. Though the plan is expected to evoke storm of protest, its pro- ponents believe that it offers the easiest and most logical solution to the city's already pressing and still-growing parking problem.
 One of the group which origin ated the plan discussed it with a reporter this morning but asked that his name be withheld. The proposal is, he said, that driveways be built into the green along the north and that the whole area be set aside for parking. The parking place would be entered only from the west side of the Green, since it is believed that having entrances or exits on the other three sides

300 BAKERS AND
 WIVES AT FARLEY
Value of Advertising Cam paigns Stressed At
 Hartford Meeting

Hartford, April Two New Ha- ven men were honored by the Con- necticut Bakers association Tues day night as having done most for the association in 1886 at banquet which ended the all-day second an- nual spring convention of the or- ganization in the Hotel Bond.
 John J. Casey, an official of the Standard Brands, Inc, branch at New Haven, and E. LeRoy Emanuel son of Elnanuelson's Bakery, re- ceiyed certificates attesting to their service from c.

 Advertising Stressed
 Speaking at the afternoon session of the convention Charles F. Adams, treasurer of the First Ma tional Stores, Inc. of Boston stressed the value of advertising campaigns. A meeting of chain store men is scheduled for the near future in Chicago, he said, which may enable 10000 united stores throughout the country to effect organized distribu- ton of surplus products which might otherwise result in losses to the producers.
 Discussing the farm problem, he said the trouble was "under-con- sumption rather than over-produc- ton" and cited instances of the marketing of surplus crops and pro- duce through intensive advertising programs.
 The convention was opened in the early afternoon with sound Bread" loaned by the Standard motion picture entitled Accent on Brands, Inc.
 Urges Shop MOdernizatiOn
 Charles Niles of Boston. associ- ated with Joseph Middleby, Inc, urged bakers in the Connecticut as- Sociation to modernize their shops. He said the investment" was pref erable to buying stocks about which you know nothing" Features of modernization which he claimed would raise the morale of the em- ployes are the reconditioning of lighting facilities, floor coverings, and the institution of color schemes.
 Other speakers on the afternoon program were George N. Graf of New York. member of Graf Schaefer Services, Inc, and Russell W. Varney of New York, associated with Standard Brands, Inc.
 KaS. J. Winialski, president of the association, presided at the af- ternoon session. Other officers pres ent at the convention were: James Borck of Bridgeport, treasurer; Mer- ton Doolittle of Torrington, secre- tary and Morris Schumefsky of Bridgeport, governor.
