HYMN PROGRAM
 STARTS TUESDAY
Miss Ziglatzki Inaugurates "Lefs Sing a Hymn
 Series Over WATR

Tomorrow morning at 10:45 o'clock, the fourth program in the Let's Sing A Hymn series, heard weekly over radio station WATR, will be conducted by Miss Ethel ziglatzki, well known musician and choir director, with Miss Paulette Wolozin, accompanist.

Gillis of St. Pauls Episcopal church in Woodbury has inspired the choir and their music will be a source of pleasure to all who tune in to Let's Sing Hymn.
 Because the program fills at need in Waterbury'S communal life, the warmth and response to Let's Sing Hymn has been most generous. Miss ziglatzki and Miss Wolozin present the program in a refreshing fashion and explain the origin of our hymns and the true beauty of their expression. This week, a cor dial invitation is extended to all those interested in attending and participating in the broadcast at the studios of WATR, 71 Grand street.

One of those wounded was Lieut. James P. Mcdonnell, holder of IA medals for valor. A charge of buck shot struck him in the face. Drench- ing with blood and clutching at his collar, he tried to shove aside re- straining hands, protesting: T want to get that guy who got me-"
 Crouched Behind Tree
 San Fillippo crouched behind a tree to do his shooting. He first emptied a double barreled shot gun and then fired with repeating gun The reason for his act was later found in his pockets-two sum- monses for traffic violations that he had ignored, and letter denounc- ing policemen in scathing terms. His father had died Saturday night o1 8 heart attack and that he had come to the park from the wake.
 Ne arrived at the end of the cere- mnny, Bugler Theodore Thibodeau had sounded assembly; speeches an1 glee club dirges had ended; and the last name on the honor roll had beon called. After the calling of each name by the ritualist, a voice from the crowd had answered absent, a bell had rung faintly, recorder had read the dead policeman's rec- ord, and light bulb on the platform went out.
 Shooting Begins
 The crowd had seen the last bulb fade out, and was standing in heavy silence. Then the shooting commenced.
 The service was being broadcast over Radio Station WNYC and the shots and screams were heard throughout the city. The police band struck up lively tune to allay panic while the bullets were still flying.
 Edward A. Fuerst, taxicab driv- CT, credited one of the civilians George Tighelaar, with heroism.

 By numerous conferences, the while that both divergent units went with district organization plans, compromise with the town committee was the reported result of weekend meetings.
 Barriers May Fall
 Thus, with the Culhane meeting tonight, 8 general meeting without qualification as to factionalism of any attending, the last line of bar riees to unification is expected to fall. This is based, 1t was ob- served, on the amiability of the meeting later this week when both groups will present delegate lists for the further compromise of con- sessions by each unit.
 Some candidates have developed during the parleys of the groups but none has been sanctioned of- ficially. Nor have the probable dele gates been listed publicly although 1t is known that the Culhane unit will compose a list taken from mem- bership whereas the Voters Com mittee was formed for purpose of seeking more general representation by Democrats who have been inac- tive in party affairs.

FAMILY COW SHOULD
GET BALANCED DIET

The old family cow has taken q
lot of abuse in her time and kept on
producing milk for her master, but
she can do a much better job when
she gets enough of the right things
to eat.
A good cow not only cuts down on
the household food bill, but she con-
tributes much to the health and gen.
eral well-being of the family, said
John A. Arey, extension dairy speci-
alist at State College. She deserves
the best of feed and care.
A COW has a huge stomach and z
tremendous capacity for converting
feed into milk. On full feed, she
will use about half the nutrients ir
her feed to maintain her own body.
weight. The rest she converts into
milk and butterfat.
When her rations are cut down
her milk production falls off, she
loses weight, and she goes DIRE
sooner than normal. A cow will
often give milk when she really
needs to use the full amount of {
scant feed supply to supply her owr
body.
In the course of a year, an aver.
age-sized farm cow needs Is bushe
of corn, Is bushels of oats, 6O(
pounds of cottonseed meal, two
tons of hay, and one to two acre!
of good pasture. The hay should
be good quality, and the pasturag'

Half Of Parkway Will
Be ConnpletedBy End
OF Summer Months

near Galax, and the contract for the
construction of this section is ex-
pected soon. Construction was COM
menced at the North Carolina line
about two years ago, and the grad
ing and part of the surfacing has
been completed through Ashe, and
Allegheny counties. More than 100
miles of the paving is now under
contract, and is expected to be fin
ished by September.
Parkway landscaping is under
way in Floyd and Franklin Coun-
ties, Virginia, and on 10 miles in
North Carolina just south of the
State line. through Allegheny Coun-
>ty The first part Of this work is
the removal Of dead and down tim
Der and debris which constitutes a
fire hazard The second phase calls
for the removal of all stumps, to i'm
prove the appearance of the Park
way and permit the young trees to
grow. Under careful supervisionsome
trees and branches are removed to
open views off the mountains. Dur
ing the remainder of the summer
and next year landscaping will be
continued along more than 100 miles
of the Parkway.
Planting is done where necessary
to replace natural growth. Many
fields which have been cleared in
past years will be allowed to grow
back naturally into wooded land or
will be planted with Seeding trees.
Other fields will be lined, fertilized,
and seeded to serve as wild flower
or game food meadows. Special
seed will be planted to provide food
for quail and other wild life. The
streams along the Parkway will be
stocked with fish.
Congressman Doughton has been
instrumental in having a Civilian
Conservation Camp established in
the Bluff Park area, near Laurel
Springs, in Allegheny County. This
camp will be in operation by Octo-
Der, and the young men stationed at
it will work on the landscaping of
the Parkway near its location. A
small crew is already at work.
Mr. Doughton is well pleased with
the progress that has been made in
the construction of the Parkway.
The appropriations for this project

Total Appropriations To Date
A m u N To $16,OOO.O 900.
Doughton Is Pleased.
By SIDNEY GANrBnL

More than one half of the 5O0-mile
Blue Ridge Parkway will have been
completed or in the process of con-
struction by the end of the summer
as a result of appropriations total
ing $5,500,000 which have just be-
come available, according to Con-
gresham Robert L. Doughton. The
total appropriations for the Parkway
to date amount to $4,000, 900.
The federal government and the
states of Virginia and North Caro-
lima are completing plans to begin
construction with the funds ap-
propriated by the last session of
Congress. Grading of the Parkway
in sections of about ten miles in
length will be commenced in Vir-
ginia south of Rockfish Gap, at the
southern end of the Shenandoah
National Park, for about thirty
miles, and for twenty miles near
the Peaks of Otter in Bedford
county.
In North Carolina the new money
will be used to build about IA miles
from Mount Pisgah south toward
the Great Smoky Mountains Nation
al Park beyond Asheville, and the
section> between Boone and Blowing
Rock, with another short section
near Mount Mitchell. Several bridg-
es and overpasses and underpasses
will be built in both states. These
overpasses and underpasses are be-
ing patterned from the "Clover-leaf"
style, first used across the Potomac
from Washington, where Fourteenth
Street crosses the Mount Vernon
Boulevard. In this type of crossing,
no traffic enters except from the
right, thereby minimizing danger
from other autoists suddenly driv-
ing onto the Parkway.
The 10-mile section from The
Meadows of Dan south toward the
Virginia-North Carolina State line
was advertised by The Bureau of
Roads last week. The necessary
money is available for the construc-
ton of the remaining 20-mile Sec
ton in Grayson and Carol counties,
Virginia, to the North Carolina line

Makes Good Record
Registrations For First Six
Months Totalled 800. Pri-
vate Placements Gain.

Registrations with the North Will

OF the total registration during
the six-months period 1874 were
men and 1925 were women.
MIR. Gentry said that the service
was pleased over its use by private
people and firms desiring labor OF
various types but that so far the SER
vice had not been used extensively
by farmers. He pointed out that the
service is in position to supply farm
labor and he explained that the SER
vice does not fix wages and that the
question of wages is left entirely to
the employer and the applicants.
During the past two weeks many
unemployment benefit checks have
been paid out from the office but a
decline is expected due to the fact
that there has been pickup in in
dustrial payrolls in the past several
days.
Checks are now being delivered
with. minimum of delay, he said.
