 WPA Project
 The repeated request of Chase parkway property owners for a sewer resulted in the city engineer reporting that cost of such a pro- ject would be $5,40O by one plan and the sewer, brought in through other streets, would serve only 9 lots and 5 houses. Another construction plan, estimated to cost $2,70O, would serve only two houses and one lot he said. The board found the cost for such plans prohibitive but prom 1sed to recommend the work as a WPA project.

Board Characterizes
 Highway Hazardous
Finance Commissioners Must Find Funds for Water town Repairs to Protect City; WPA Recommended

Acting on suggestion of members of the board of finance, stymied in attempt to find funds within spe- cific appropriation to repair dam ages to Watertown's main street by Waterbury construction work, the board of public works last night adopted resolution whereby the Watertown thoroughfare's condition is described as hazardous. Thus, the board of finance must find funds from some appropriation to effect repairs or the state may be asked to do the work and to send the bill to Waterbury.
 Authorize Repairs
 Cost of the repairs was estimated by City Engineer Charles A. Root at $5,000 and there remains but slight balance in the engineering apartments pipe line extension fund. Branding the condition as hazardous, however. enforces the board of finance to authorize re- pairs to protect the city from possi- bility of further expense which might evolve from liabilities.
 Recommendation was made to the board of aldermen that the city purchase a right of way from Mrs. Mary Campbell for $350 to allow construction of a sewer on Burr street. And Commissioner James J. Phelan reported that the Apothe- carries Hall Co.,, and Whalen Ice Cream Co.,, complained that the two-inch water main on Manhan street is inadequate to serve them with water, this resulting in the street superintendent being in- structed to replace the pipe with a siX-inch main.
 Petition Denied
 Petition of Mrs. Catherine Ver- seckas for abatement of sewer assessment was denied after the city engineer reported that. contrary t0

But under Gales, the party tend ed to become a tool of the head man, according to present leaders and it was decided to reorganize on the new class basis in an effort to overthrow state and federal "bosses" and former professional politicians.
 A new convention was called with representative of the following ele- mentS:
 1. Labor. The GYM (radical and dominant group), the CROM (more conservative labor group, the CGT (Communist), the electrical workers and miners Gndependent).
 2. The ejidatarios, or farmers and villagers to whom the government has given land for communal work ing.
 3. Middle class groups, coopera- tives, small business men, small landowners, marketmen, distribu- tors, and the like.
 4. Soldiers in the army.
 Each group has a general secre- tary. While the soldiers vote just ae the other groups ill the party conventions, they may not run for office in national or local political elections as soldiers, but must have the support of some other group. Nominating Candidates
 The manner of nominating party candidates at elections is ingenious. If a certain district shows that a majority of the party afflliates in

ised the PRM to take no political action except through the channels of the party.
 Glass Structure"
 Antonio Vargas Macdonald, one of the party leaders, expresses thus the principle behind the manner of its organization:
 "The former party conceived peo- pie abstractly and theoretically. Now we have a class rather than an in- dividualistic structure. We conceive people politically as the productive classes-in the others we are not interested. While we expressly &C., knowledge the class struggle, our aim is to utilize it legally and peace fully to gradually achieve a classless

society, a peaceful change by evo- lution, rather than by violence with all the disruption of economic life which this brings"
 Other candidates at national and local elections beside those of the PRM may of course be nominated and voted for by members of other organizations. In fact straw vote on the 1940 election now being con- ducted by small and rather ob- scure opposition paper shows Gen. eral Saturnino Cedillo far in the lead.
 But this is not regarded as sig nif1cant. For practical purposes, Mexico right now had only one party-the PRM.

CURLY-HEADED BABY
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Long, long ago when many youngsters hair Had not sign of a curl, The frequent doings-up-n-rags Was the lot of many little girl The result quite satisfactory, R,nglets sprouted by the score And to put it briefly
 Who could ask for more? Some of the youngsters wore Their hair straight on each week day, Tightly braided, tied with ribbons For school and for play. But when Saturday night came round The rag-tearing orgy began, The young ones must be cured up for Sunday In the usual well ordered plan. What precious time it took Getting around youngsters head! Weren't mothers glad when it was over And all the children in bed? Those long ago tasks irked Both fond mother and child, But todays process is as tiring And not what you'd call mild Children well as their elders Today try the croquignole fier With mother and little daughter Taking the count under a drier.
