1 has been given to the 24 musicians named in the dismissal of cessation of pay checks after July l2.
 Concert Planned As recently at June 26, plans were being made for the summer pro- gram of the Waterbury WPA band and a number of concerts were scheduled at local parks by Super intendent of Parks James J. Curtin. At that time Michael Mancini, as- sistant director of the band for sev- eral months, succeeded the former director who resigned after appoint ment to a post office job.
 The cut of 24 members from the WPA band resulted yesterday in charges of discrimination by state WPA heads against Water bury by William M. Harris, execu- tive secretary of Lincoln house and former director of the Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund and the EZRA, under whose auspices the band was formed.
 Representatives of those facing dismissal from relief rolls called on MT. Harris and wer advised to take the matter to Mayor Hayes and to the WPA director at New Haven.
 This, after it had been charged that the Bridgeport WPA band in- cludes thirty members who are not on relief and no cut of personnel is expected there. All members of the Waterbury band are on local re- lief rolls.
 Bridgeport and New Haven have been accorded favorable treatment by the WPA beyond that given other cities in the state, MT. Harris remarked. It was rumored, he said, that musicians were brought to Bridgeport from New York to com- plete the WPA band there and MT. Harris commented that unusual pressure must have been brought to bear on the WPA director to keep the Bridgeport unit intact"
 The Lincoln House secretary de- precated the lack of public interest in the WPA band which, he said, could be the nucleus of a munic- ipal band later, to be financed either by public subscription or munic- ipal appropriation.

The very best time for the warm

The water should be cooled
gradually so as not 10 cause shock.
And the body should be rubbed

and very absorbent towel. II this
leaves the child cold and shiveiy,
then dispense with the morning
plunge altogether, and scrub him

don't raise windows at once, but
later when pores have closed. II
the head has been washed, either
during the day or night, be sure
that cold air does not blow on

Colds are strange things. Since
