to be added to Connecticut's WPA rolls, due to the uncertainty of costs of projects as reflected by the type of work-plans on which the New Workers will be placed. The administrators best estimate con. corning the advance of Connecti- cuts WPA rolls was that its em- pigment fguroe might reach a total of 20,000." There are 16,700 persons currently employed, l3,932 of whom are men.
 Interviewing, approving and as- signing several thousand new work CTS in many different Connecticut communities will commence imme- diately and MT. Sullivan urged all possible haste in local certification of applicants. It is hoped. he said. that an appreciable number of these new workers can be assigned to projects in time to receive at least a small check for Christmas. At present. the division of finance is working overtime in an attempt to pay regular workers up to four days in advance before Christmas and some of the new employees will doubtless be assigned in time to benefit by this procedure.

 ing of the entire administrative supervisory staff today. According to MT. Sullivan, the WPA in this state will take immediate steps to absorb employable relief cases with out the use of town or city quotas. The administrator explained that all cities and other industrial com- munities will be asked to submit at once to the division of intake and certification lists of eligible workers, and that placements will be made ''as soon as humanly possible" on a Alsis of comparable local condi- tions.
 Tt is @ well-known fact" Admin istrator Sullivan pointed out, that some communities have been af- fected more seriously by recent in- dustrial layoffs than others. We deem 1t essential to first lend all possible aid to localities most seri- ously affected by student increases in their welfare lists and we plan to proceed along these lines"
 It was stressed at the staff meet- ing, Mir. Sullivan said. that WPA supervisors seek to keep man-year costs at minimum, and that spon- sors be urged to increase their con- tributions wherever possible to the end that the additional Federal funds granted Connecticut might reach the pockets of as many un- employed persons as possible. MT Sullivan could give no definite esti- mate as to the number of persons

"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus"
 Long ago an editorial writer for the New York Sun answered the question of being of the Christmas saint for all time and, as the days until Christmas Day decrease in number, more and similar references to Santa Claus will be made, doubt less.
 But, here in Waterbury, the Christmas of 1897 finds many fami- lies without the usual recourse which supports the spirit of giving, needy families, destitute families, and children who have not the as- surance that all necessary to parti- cipate is to hang their stockings be- side some stove where the fuel sup- ply is close to exhaustion.
 Each One Santa Claus
 All of which points to what part each more fortunate youngster in Waterbury can play next Dec. 24, when baskets of food for the needy families will be gathered from the supplies donated as admission to the great Christmas party of The Dein- ocrat at Loew's Poli theater, in CO., operation with Manager Edward Fitzpatrick and the Waterbury lodge of Elks.
 That is the date which you young sters should mark as the most im- portant day on your pre-Christmas calendars. That is the date when Waterbury's finest show will be held and complication of Waterburys real spirit of Christmas will be shownS.
 Also Mickey Mouse
 Manager Fitzpatrick has prepared a program of Mickey Mouse come- dies, of vaudeville acts and enter tainment which will repay your at- tendance Q thousand fold. Exalted Ruler James F. Neagle of the Water

CANCER SUSPECT
 AIDED BY DOCTOR
Prevention of Disease COn- cerns Modern Physician
 Says Health Official

If you think you have cancer, consult your own physician, for t there is nothing wrcng 1t will be worth the doctors fec to know iC, and if something is wrong the soon- CT the fact iS known and the trou.. ble traced to Its source the better the chance for permanent cure, Dr. Matthew H. GriSWold, chief oi the Division of Cancer Research of the State Department of Health, advised today.
 Dr. Griswold stated it was not his purpose to instill morbid fear or to create mass hysteria concern ing cancer, but that if his talk should result in anyone going to a physician for diagnosis of an ail- ment suspected even remotely of be- ing cancer his purpose would be served. Prevention of disease con- cerns the modern physician just as much as the cure of patients al- ready ill, he said, and people should recognize that fact and consult their doctors at the first recognition of anything wrong. The question of expense should not be permitted to interfere, because the physician will show the way to treatment at a cost within the patients means.
 Anyone who suspects he or she may have cancer should consult his or her own physician, who will by careful and painstaking anvestiga- ton determine whether or not the trouble is or might be of a malig- nant nature. After the physician has satisfied himself of the charac- ter of the conditions, he will pur- sue one of two courses, Dr. Gris- wold explained. If it is cancer or suspected cancer, he will secure ad- ditional advice of @ pathologist to examine for cancer cells, radiolo- gist to take x-rays if necessary, and a surgeon to give an opinion on the surgical aspects of the case. Proper diagnosis of cancer Is not a "one-man" prosposition.
