Streets Slated
 For New Paving Inspected Today
City Officials Make Annual Tour of Recommended
 Improvement Projects

City officials today made their annual summer tour of projects approved or pro- posed. In the party were members of the board of works, City Engineer Robert A. Cairns, Superintendent Of Streets Thomas J. Fleming, and other members of the city government.
 Of principal importance was the inspection of streets included in the city's paving program. These include Willow street, Roseland avenue, Homer street, Congress avenue, Meadow street, lower North Main street, Exchange place and Bank street as far as Center street.
 Another important location visited was the Baldwin street bridge. wher new structure will be erected across the Mad River to replace the present Scovill's bridge. The board visited numerous other streets where petitioners have asked for sidewalks, layouts, grading, sewers, sanitary sewers and other improve. ments.
 Twenty-Five separate inspections were listed in the itinerary for the group. The tour started from the City Hall, with Joy road as the first point of inspection. The tour ended with an inspection of Congress ave- nue.
 Following the tour the city ofn- cials gathered at the Waterbury Country club for dinner.

"hes always thinking of the other fellow" The town chairman had made many sacrifices for the party, he asserted, and "hell take beat ing for anybody who deserves it."
 MT. Bergin predicted republi- can victory here in the fall and declared that local democrats are greatly worried.
 The democratic administration is in the minority. MT. Upson declared, and will be removed from office by the voters next October. He wants, he said. to be leader of the repub- lican party when it gains control of the city.
 MT. Upson's remarks about his willingness to cooperate with anyone in opposition to the administration was obviously an invitation for the Independent Democrats to look his way. Just what effect his offer will have is problematical, but the com- ing months will tell the story.

AND NOT ONLY IN CASTOR

The Gastonia Gazette believes that there are
many people who have been helped by the govern,
ment who could now get work if they wanted it,
but says they do not want to work. We quote in
part an editorial which recently appeared in that
paper under the caption, "Many Do Not Want
Work." as follows
"Some of the effects of the vast and unlimited
government handouts of the depression are being
felt in the county in that there is large number
of people who do not intend to work. and who are
making nuisance of themselves, now that they
have been cut off the WPA rolls. They are besieg-
ing the county commissioners and the welfare
board in manner and number almost unbearable.
The attitude of some of them is intoerable. Some
of them declare that they are not going to work,
that the government must keep them up, etc.
This is most deplorable situation and bears
out what many people said at the time, viz: that
the government creating class of dependents
and mendicants that they were making paupers
out of good people by doing too much for them.
away from the public trough. They have been used
to living off the government and they have quit
trying to find private employment"
And it is not only the case in CASTOR county,
but is doubtless worse in other counties. In some
sections Of this state and other southern states
farmers can hardly secure the help they are beg
gng folks to furnish them on their farms 1t is a

were starving because they could not get 1.-THE

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BREAD AND PARITY

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has proved
himself wiser prophet than even ne would nave
admitted few weeks ago. In his announced aoar-
donment of the parity price principle ne mad 'h's
to say:
l don't think there is any way of getting enough
money out of the treasury to give farmers parity
prices during the next 10 years for cotton wheat
corn, hogs or any other product that is exported
You might be able to get enough for year or TWO
of this. But the consumers would rise up IN pro-
test. ... ..
The funny thing about this prediction is that 1t
is being fulfilled this week from the governments
own irrespective of the presidents observa-
ton to western audience that he thinks stabilized
prices may be attained without bankrupting the
country. A group of federal economists has pro-
tested against bread prices, declaring that boosts
have added $50 900 900 year to the public's food
bill. And if the economists, who after all eat
comparatively small amount of bread, kick about
it, what do you suppose will happen when the con-
sumers themselves get wise?
Of course the moral is not a direct one. We
have no parity price wheat despite all artificial
means that have been used to bolster what the
farmer gets for it. But what has happened the
complaint of the economists relates, is that slight
tipping of the cost of wages and of wholesale prod
ucts in the baking industry has been magnifed out
of proportion in the retail cost A just complaint
and one that ought to be investigated, we think.
But if the bread making industry could do that
with little histing of the payroll and advance in
wholesale prices, what miracle do you suppose could
be worked with an artifcally subsidized price of
wheat? The commissioner of agriculture must be
sustained in this instance.-Greensboro News.

TO MAKE CHINA IN GEORGIA

Georgia newspapers print the announcement OF
the formation of company to manufacture china
ware on Large scale" in that state. Georgia bust
ness men have formed corporation, capitalized at
100000 to be Georgia-owned, and 545-acre
tract of kaolin and timber land near Macon. has
been purchased Some kaolin on the property has
been mined and shipped to other states for the
manufacture of chinaware, much of which IS sold
in Georgia
Few housewives know that clays from Georgia,
Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina; Florida and
some foreign cays enter the formulas OF the manu-
facture of plates, cups and saucers used on their
tables. About 25 per cent of the mixture used by
chinaware plants in Eastern Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania is Georgia kaolin.
The plant near Macon will have capacity of
l,25OO00 dozen pieces year and the promoters
expect to sell their output in the South. The plant
will employ 800 workers and the annual payroll
will exceed $27O;OOO. The product will be the
semi-porcelain dinnerware Of inexpensive type for
which there is said to be an annual market OF
$1,000, 900 in the United States. 1t is said that
the Georgia company should have market OF
Sl,500,O00 for its wares.
The clay products industry in East Liverpool
Ohio, and nearby communities in that state ano
western Pennsylvania is a large one And most OF
the inexpensive chinaware used in the United States
comes from that section. Trenton, N. Jj Is aise
the center of considerable industry of that kind
The industry was founded in East Liverpool by
Englishmen who came to the United States cen
fury ago and brought with them the formulas usee
in that country which they used until suitable ciay
were discovered in the United States.
The Importance of the Georgia announcement
lies in the fact that this new industry to use 8
state product is being financed within the state Il
successful it may lead to the establishment of SINH
lar large plants in other southern states-spartan

APPLE COMMENT: The or.

AFFLE COMMENT: The or
chardist is not the only busy per-
son during these days of conserv-
ing a 2O4-million-bushel apple
crop. The housewives are. doing
their part to conserve and lay up
for winter, when fruits are not
so plentiful.
They are not only taking care
of future needs but are convert
ing apples into many forms of
palatable and nourishing food for
the table from day to day.
Some are canning apples. Some
can and dry but the latter is a
little slow and tedious job when
the September sun is not warm
enough to dry them rapidly. And
there is the apple marmalade,
commonly called apple butter,
made by cooking down to thick
consistency two parts of apple,
strained through a sieve, to one
part sugar. A simple form of
preservation is known as smoking
apples. After peeling and cutting
up as to can or dry, place about
two gallons in basket and sus-
pend in a barrel at the bottom of
which is sulphur birthstone in
solicited form, using a piece

WTASH1NGToN Mas Justice
w Hugo l.. Black sailed toward

headed in the general direction OF

President had boiled down the
Black-Klan issue in his own mind
10 what he considered by all odds
the most important question:
Has Black in recent years had
any connection with the Ku Klux

No answer to that question has
been available, since Black has
given no explanation, secret or
otherwise.
MANY administration critics, in
Guiding some of RooSevelt's
own liberal followers who have
been seriously perturbed, take tie
position that no man who was ever
a Khan member should be on the
Supreme Court.
Roosevelt himself eventually
may be forced into that position.

keep Black on the court and may
be expected to do what he can
unoff1cially to make it easier for
Black to stay. Of the record, ii
seems, the Roosevelt position is
that regardless Of how regrettable
Blacks monkey-shines with the
