(Continued from Page D only duly authorized city official who can release liens on foreclos- ures. Heretofore the city has been confused as to the proper official to take charge of this work, due to the fact that the charter did not specifically state the office in which the work was to be done. The cor poration counsel, the tax collector, and the tax attorney have all re- leased liens in the past.
 Now Eligible
 Employees of the Waterbury school department, such as janitors, en- gineers, supply clerks, scrub- women, and the attendance officer are now eligible to benefit by the city'S re- tirement pension plan. Some 12 years ago the legislature establish ed a pension bill by which all city employees, except elective ones, could receive 8 pension of half salary for life upon their retirement. They had to have 25 years of continuous ser- vice and be at least 60 years old. The school department was excluded because of the teachers retirement pension fund. The other school de- partment employees were thus com pletely overlooked and the present amendment to the city charter takes care of them.
 Senate Active
 The senate today passed a bill giving property owners 120 days in which to pay sewer assessments in- stead of 90 as under the present law.
 The senate also passed a bill granting the State Publicity Com mission an allowance of $40,000 for the coming biennium. $50,000 had been asked. Willard B. Rogers, president of the Hotel Bond, Hart ford, is chairman of the commission and E. Vincent Maloney, publisher of the Waterbury Democrat, is a member of the commission. Thomas c. Perkins of Hartford is the execu- tive secretary.
 The senate today passed a bill transferring authority over hospital grants from the governor to the State Welfare Council. At the same time grants of $3O,00O and $1S,00O for the coming biennium for St. Mary's and the Waterbury HoSpi- tals were approved.
 The house today set up a police commission in Wolcott and estab- fishing biennial elections instead of annual ones.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 FILES NEW PLAN
Continued from Page D
Acquire More Roads


 At the same time, the plan recom- mended acquisition by the New Ha- ven road of three railroad proper ties, whose leases have been rejected. These were the Hartford & Connec- ticut Wesetrn, Old Colony and the Providence, Warren & Bristol rail- road properties.
 It recommended the road assume the lease of the Boston & Providence road, and retain leases of the Nor wich & Worcester, Province SS Wor- cester, and Holyoke & Westfield roads.
 '"rhe outstanding feature of the plan," Buckland said, "is the plain purpose of the directors to restore the credit Of the company to high plane and to reduce fixed charges to such a point as, to prevent any recurrence of its financial embar- rassment."
 New Securities
 "The plan," he said, "conternplates the issue of new securities 10 cred- itors and stockholders of the com- pany consisting of fixed interest bearing bonds, income bonds, first preferred and second preferred stock and common stock"
 The plan urged issuance of $147,- 100,800 in new 35-year 4 per cent fixed interest bonds; $47,414,200 of new 45-year 1-2 per cent non- cumulative income bonds; new first and second preferred stocks, and new common stock.
 Established would be 8 sinking fund of 10 per cent of net income after capital expenditures on the fixed interest bonds.
 The reorganized corporation, un- der the scheme, would assume the guarantees of Boston Railroad Hold ing Co.,, preferred stock, New York Connecting Railroad Co.,, bonds, and New York & Stamford Railroad Co. bonds.
 Discharges in Stock
 Discharges in second preferred stock would be the guarantees of New York, Westchester & Boston Railway bonds, Springfield Railway companies preferred shares and New England Investment and Security O., preferred shares, as well as other unsecured claims.
 Paid in cash would be the accrued and unpaid interest on equipment trust obligations and undiSturbed underlying bonds.
 "The plan makes it evident" said Buckland, except for the possible ab a n d on m ent of unproductive branches, the integrity of the Sys- tenn as a whole is to be maintained.
 Its position in the transportation field between New York and Boston is in no way impaired by the reor- ganization."

STEEL COMPANY WILL NOT YIELD
tContinued from Page D

Co. It demands contract such as that signed with U. s. Steel, recog- hizing the union as bargaining agent for its own members. Republic, as the leader of the three independents Combating the union, took its stand 0n the ground that this sort of con- tract would lead to the closed shop .And that this would bring in it's wake, evils it would not endure. N Conciliator James Dewey of the U. s. labor department has held .some exploratory conferences. It was sbelieved the federal government Would let the strike simmer a while 1onger before attempting serious ssettlement efforts.
 Attitude of Republic
 M. Republica's attitude, in effect was: There is only one issue and that is the c. I. O.,s demand for a contract. There is nothing to ar +bitrate. We will not sign it.
 The unions answer was: "The strike will go on until Republic and the others do sign. There is no com spromise."
 The union meantime exerted every AeffoIt to strengthen it's picket lines arovmd the affected plants of the three companies in seven states cen tering around the Great Lakes. It wanted especially to force Republic to curtail the operations it is con- stinuing. Youngstown Sheet & Tube z and the Inland Corp. have virtually V suspended production.
 At Republics Chicago plant, scene eof rioting fatal to six pickets, hun dreds of police reserves were con- centrated last night, but no more violence was reported.
 F Govt. Peace Moves
 Cleveland, June D. UP)-The federal government made quiet peace moves behind the steel strike scene today as arrangements of V three independent producers and ' unionists remained steadfast in their positions.
 J1mes A. Dewey, United States % commissioner of conciliation, was in Pittsburgh, ostensibly to confer with Philip Murray, Steel Workers Or ganizing Committee chairman.
 He was to come to Cleveland to- morrow, where tt was assumed gen. erally he would seek conference ~with heads of Republic Steel Cor \ poration, largest of the independents Y which have refused to sign contracts '. with the s. w. O. c.
 Dewey Moved Quietly q Dewey previously had moved quiet ~ly behind the strike scene around !, Youngstown, O., in the Manoning eValley of Americas Little Ruhr, , scene of scores of plants affected in seven states. He had returned mean awhile to Washington, to present the strike picture to Secretary of Labor V Frances Perkins.
 ~ Republic, the nations third largest steel producer and only one of the three independents which has at- tempted to operate during :hc one z week strike siege, reiteratd is posi- < tion firmly through its chairman, Tom M. Girdler.
 v The strike by the steel-organizing unit of John L. Lewis committee for industrial organization has cut Re- ' public's production to less than half and shut down completely two other \ independents, Inland Steel corpora x tion and the Youngstown Sheet & 2 Tube company.

STORING WOOL
GARMENTS AND BEDDING

Why not begin now to plan suitable
storage places for bedding and gar
ments that must be put away for the
summer?
Perhaps these storage spaces will have
to be boxes or high shelves, but even
open shelves, but even open shelves will
be satisfactory providing the material
is thoroughly cleaned and stored in
tightly sealed paper bags or heavy
wrapping paper. One must be very
sure that there are no tears in the
paper through which the moths can
enter to begin their destruction. AS a
measure of precaution, it usually pays
to generously sprinkle napthalene or
paradichloro-benzine crystals between
the layers of the blankets or the folds
of garments before they are sealed in
container. If the garments are abb
solutely clean and protected with these
crystals, then sealed tightly with no
crevices through which moths can
enter, the material should be per-
fectly safe during storage. BY the way,
it is a splendid idea to label all boxes
and bundles containing stored goods.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has Farmers Bulletin No.
1853 entitled Clothes Moths and Their
Control" which may be very helpful to
you if you have great deal of trouble
with moths in your home. This bulle-
tin costs 5 cents.

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO
PREVENT CHIMNEY FIRES?

According to statistics, chimney fires
are increasing, but the danger of fires
can be reduced by keeping the flues and
chimneyS clean of SCOT. The following
suggestion is recommended by one of
the safety councils.
ITO prevent your heating apparatus
or appliances from becoming clogged
with SCOT, heat pounds of medium
grade salt (barrel salt preferreO to re-
move all moisture. Then scatter the
dry salt on bed of red hot Goals in the
fire box of your stove, furnace or boiler.
Open all drafts and let it burn. The
fumes from the salt will destroy the
carbon in the SCOT, leaving fine white
ash which will be carried away by the
natural draft of the chimney"
If you have chimney troubles, don't
delay, but remove the SCOT by the salt
burning process before you have a
chimney fire and suffer loss to your
property. 1t is cheaper to buy 2 pounds
of salt than to rebuild property des-
troyed by fire. The process may be
repeated every 60 days. You can clean
your stove, furnace, boiler, stove pipe
or chimney by the above method.

TWO DAYS
TO OBSERVE

Two days which come close together
on the May calendar, Child Health Day
on May and Mothers Day on the sec
ond Sunday in May, are coming to be
more closely related in purpose.
Child Health Day will be recognized
in some way by most communities and
Mothers Day, while an American in
stitution, is also observed in Australia
Japan, Scotland, England, Ireland, Ger
many, Belgium, Denmark and all our
foreign possessions. Flags will fly on
all public buildings and all American
consulates abroad that day. While the
original reason for Mothers Day was
to pay respect to motherhood, it is more
and more coming to include protection
to motherhood through wider use of
our knowledge of hygiene.
AS nation, we are becoming ashamed
Of the figures which tell us that $4,000
mothers die every year in childbirth.
During the last IS years, $4,000 women
have died from causes due to pregnancy
and childbirth. Among % nations, the
maternity death rate in the United
States stands highest.

LET'S clean UP
ORDERS YETkA
State Fire Marshal Declares
Cleanup Campaigns Have
Far-Reaching Effect.

/ 1.-THE Importance of good house
keeping" says Frank Yetka, state fir
marshal, both as an assurance Of firt
prevention and community health ant
appearance has led to the development
of special Fire Prevention Cleanup
Campaigns, which have been success
fully held in many cities for severa
years. Added impetus to these spring
cleanup campaigns has developed with
recognition of the fact that cleanliness!
has far-reaching effect on the i'm.
preston a city makes not only on it!
visitors but on its own citizens"
Such Cleanup Campaigns aid in the
removal of disease breeders which may
cause pestilence, eliminates fire hazard:
which might lead to CONGREGATIONS, anc
reduces other limitations to municipal
development. The more inviting city
can be made, the more people will come
and enjoy it.
The date for Fire Prevention Clean
up Campaigns varies with individual
communities. Such campaigns should
be held as early in the spring as pos
sible, starting perhaps in May in this
part of the country.
Houses and yards should be in
spected, renovated, cleaned, painted
when necessary, and the premises gar
dened where possible, and grass seed
should be sown.
Schools, public buildings and institu-
finY1c will ha Of ti,,r
and fire-Safe by a general cleaning
both internally and externally.
Mercantile, manufacturing and rail-
road properties should be cleaned up
Rubbish should be removed from
vacant lots, which can be transformed
into gardens and Fairgrounds.
Rubbish should be removed from
Easements in business houses, and all
boxes, papers, and other combustible
materials should be piled in an orderly
manner, or so stored that they will not
create fire menace. This also ap-
plies to homes as a great deal of rub
Dish that has accumulated throughout
the winter months should be disposed
of, and Cleanup Week" is just the
time to do it.
Grass fires should be guarded care
fully and no grass should be set on
fire on windy day-nor should child
rem be allowed to set such fires.
And to fire departments-do not for
get that while your fire department is
fighting some of these grass fires, fire
that requires your attention might oc-
cur and endanger the entire community,
so it is up to you to help spread the
gospel" about precaution with grass
fires. 1t is really up to you to take the
lead in organizing committee and
getting other organizations interested
and started in the spring cleanup cam
paign.

winter which made the hens lay better
than normal, and not to extra hens.
Such a surplus production cannot con-
tinue because the peak" months are
on us and hens cannot lay more than
just about so many eggs. Low poultry
prices were brought on by heavier
than usual sale of surplus males and
layers. Now that they are off the farm,
they cannot do us much more damage.
This means we still have the job of
replacing flocks for next fall. If you
are wise, you will figure how many
pullets you are going to need to keep
your flock at normal size and get them
Matched early enough to be producing
next fall.
1t might not be such bad decision
to stay out of chick raising entirely
this year. That would merely mean
you would not have the income from
them next year. But if you plan to
have chicks, by all means get them
early enough so that they have an even
chance at making profit.

REMOVING MUD
AND WATER STAINS

March and April showers bring other
things beside May flowers-water and
mud spots on clothes, to mention only
two.
Water leaves its mark on fabric in
several ways. Sometimes it dissolves
the dressing in the material so that the
places that have been damp look diff
ferent from the rest of the fabric. What
actually happens is that the dressing
floats out to the dry edge of the spot
where it leaves ring. Sometimes the
water tightenS the fibers-Shrinks the
cloth in places. And sometimes it re-
moves the luster given to the fabric in
its final dressing.
What to do about such spots? Well,
sometimes they'll disappear with good
rundown. Try rubbing them out with
your fingernail or with the edge of a
coin. Or rub the spotted fabric be-
tween your hands, or against another
part of the same fabric. Rubbing is
usually very helpful with a crepe weave
After the rub, press the whole garment
with a damp pressing cloth Or with
slightly damped tissue paper.
Frankly, though, textile people have
often found spots caused by dissolving
the dressing difficult to remove unless
the whole dress has a wash, or unless
you can steam the dress and then press
it.
Have you heard the news that manu-
facturers have developed new finish
ing process for silks that makes them
resistant to water spots? When you
buy material by the yard, ask for the
kind that won't spot with water. AT
some shops you can also find ready
made garments on the market that
feature this fabric. Look for labels that
guarantee the garment against water
spots.
When loss of luster is the cause of
the spot, you can sometimes bring the
sheen back and automatically make the
spot disappear by a good pressing.
Now about mud stains. If the stained
material is washable, a soap and water
bath is the best remedy for an ordinary
mud spot. Let the mud dry, then
brush off as much as possible, and
finally follow with soap and water
wash. If the fabric is not washable,
try sponging the mud stain with de-
natured alcohol.
Very often mud contains oil and
grease. In this case, after brushing
away all possible dry mud, sponge the
spot with a grease solvent like carbon
tetrachloride-in other words, treat it
as you would treat grease spot. Once
in while, red mud contains iron rust
from which the stain will not dis
appear by the treatments just men
toned. Here, you must treat the spot
as you do an iron-ruSt stain. The
lemon juice and salt treatment is prob
ably the most familiar iron-rust re-
mover.
One more point about mud. 1t otter
does more damage to leather than tc
fabric. So to prevent permanent muc
stains on shoes, remove the mud az
soon as possible--every bit of it. Never
let it dry on, as you do with fabrics.
