STATE WPA HELPS
NAUCATUCK AREAS
Marked Increases in Pri-
vate Employment An
nOunced By Sullivan

New Haven, Nov. Estate WPA
Administrator Vincent j. Sullivan
said today that employment records
of the state WPA show marked in
crease in private employment, par
ticularly in the Naugatuck Valley
area and in the three larger cities Of
the state.
Said Mr.. Sullivan: During the
period from October 16 to October
81, a total of 702 persons left WPA
employment for private jobs of one
kind or another, and during that
period we assigned only 90 WPA
workers who had returned from pri-
vate employment.
Then for the period from Novem-
Der l to November IS another 307
left the WPA for private employ
ment while we assigned total OF
lot returning from private employ
ment. So for that month, a total OF
$40 persons went off WPA while we
assigned 1919 whose private employ
ment had terminated, plus 1868
others for a total of 1868 assign
ments."
Mr.. Sullivan added: "Our records
show that the great majority found
private jobs In the manufacturing
areas-particularly in those areas
where war or allied industries are
located. The eastern section of Con-
necticut was only very slightly az
fected, while the Naugatuck Valley
area, and the three larger cities
showed marked gains in the num-
bers leaving WPA for private jobs.
This Is as 1t should be-" he con-
tinued," and 1t bears out my oft-re-
peated statement that the vast ma
jority of those on WPA rolls are
not only willing but anxious to get
back into private jobs at the first
opportunity, and in spite of such
work being of temporary nature
The current pickup in business Is
comparable to that of 1897 when the
state WPA rolls went to an all-time
low mark Of some $4,000. Today there
are more than 1900 on WPA and
note that there has been an increase
in WPA employment throughout the
nation recently, an increase of some
$4,000. If we experience the usual
seasonal unemployment in Connec-
ticut this winter, our state WPA will
be prepared to provide employment
for another two or three thousand
persons"

Business AS Usual
In Waterbury Today
Banks Brokerage Houses, Federal Offices Only Ones
to Observe Presidents Thanksgiving Holiday

Though half the nation was cell
ebrating Thanksgiving today 1t was
business as usual for most Wa
terburians. Factories, stores and
most offices followed regular sched-
lles: schools were session: and
there was little to mark a holiday.
Closed for the day were banks
brokerage houses, federal offices,
and the county courthouse, while
postal employees worked only part Of
the day. The city hall was open and
city affairs went on as usual
Turkey was the dish in many
homes, however, with Thanksgiving
dinners being prepared for the ben
eft of relatives of local families or
students here from states where to-
day has been designated as Thanks
giving.
The general local observance will
be held next Thursday. when all
business will be suspended. Factor
les will shut down, stores and Of
iices will close, and school children
will have a holiday.

tories here have restored pay cuts,
and that there are many evidences
of better business.
Several members of the delega-
ton pointed out that since the pay
cuts first went into effect, city en-
ployes have contributed q total
equal to 90 per cent Of years SAL
airy.
The teachers representatives said
that the two mills in the tax rate
needed for the pay restoration would
not be a burden on the small tax
payer. Mr.. Brophy pointed out that
even with the restoration, the tax
rate could be cut from the present
IS mills to 80 mills. He said that
revaluation Of real estate in the
city would bring about increase OF
revenue, and asked what had hap
pened to the revaluation of the
grand list which was made In 1880.

Commissioner John H. Goss had

board, answering questions asked by
members of the teachers group.
Miss Daisy Lord, president of the
Waterbury Teachers Association,
John M. Brophy, Miss Loretto Fitz-
patrick and other teachers spoke in
favor Of the return of the wage slash.
They contended that it was unfair
to have city employees continue to
contribute 10 per cent of their wages,
in view of better business conditions
locally.

Mr.. Goss indicated that he favored
a continuance of the pay cut for
another year. He pointed out that
the 10 per cent was voluntary con-
tribution, and that city employees
were not obliged to donate 1t.
He called acceptance of the cut
good craftsmanship, and said that
If 1t were continued for another
year the city could have low tax
rate In 1910 and be In an excellent
position TO make the restoration the
following year.
Mr.. Goss said that the proceeds
from the pay deduction would go to

that he felt 1t was the duty OF all
citizens to share the welfare burden,
not place 1t on the shoulders Of only

WIFE
WILL CELEBRATE
Observe Thanksgiving Day
By Feast With Paralysis
Patients This Evening
BY T. F. REYNOLDS
United Press Staff Correspondent


Warm Springs, Ga, Nov. 23-(UP)
President and Mrs. Roosevelt led
the nation in its observance of
Thanksgiving today, a celebration
observed by % states a week before
the traditional last Thursday In
November by presidential proclama-
ton.
Although the president will make
the advanced holiday official by
carving a turkey at dinner tonight
at the Warm Springs Foundation
for infantile paralysis sufferers, %
states will adhere to the traditional
date and celebrate the day of giving
thanks next Thursday, Nov. 80.
At the foundation, covers for $50
will be laid tonight, but six year
old girl, recent arrival at the foun-
dalton, will be the presidential guest
Of honor. She Is blue-eyed Ann
Smithers Of Frankfort, KY, and only
recently has she been able to sit up
in wheel chair. She won the honor
by drawing straws with the 80 other
infantile paralysis patients at the
foundation.
Ann has been at the Warm
Springs Foundation about five
months. Nine other patients were
also winners but they will be merely
table guests of the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt.
Drops All Problems
Seeking complete relaxation after
the congressional battle over neu-
trality, Mr.. Roosevelt isolated him
self almost completely from the
problems of his executive Office. Of
ficials in Washington kept the little
White House offices here informed
OF developments in Europe, but Mr..
Roosevelt secluded himself from all
but pressing problems.
Relaxing in the glass-enclosed
foundation pool and during long
drives around the base of Pine
Mountain. Mr.. Roosevelt was enjoy
ing to the utmost the Georgia fall
weather.
During his visit here, he planned
one political appointment-on Sat-
urday when the Georgia congress
sional delegation will call to pay re-
spects.
Gov Z. d. Rivers of Georgia Is
expected to call briefly on the presi-
dent before he leaves Tuesday for
Asheville, N. c., but the visit is
expected to have no political signifi-
canoe.
Mr.. Roosevelt will interrupt his
return to Washington Tuesday eve
ming at Asheville to visit his secre-
tary. Marvin H. Mcintyre, for an
hour or so. He Is due In Washing
ton Wednesday.

Reappointn,ent Of
O'Rourke Sought

A resolution asking for the
reappointment Of Electrical In
spector Martin O'ROurke was
adopted by the Electrical Con-
tractors Association Of Water
bury at a meeting last night. A
committee from the association
will meet with Mayor elect
Vincent A. Scully to urge that
Mr.. O'Rourke be named to
serve for another term.
Adoption of a new electrical
code for the city was recon-
mended. A committee will draw
up new city ordinance, to re-
place the one now in effect,
which has not been changed in
the past seven years.
Edward Sheehy, president Of
the association, was chairman
Of the meeting, which was held

Considerable Christmas shopping
activity was noted in the stores.
Many of them already have set up
their Christmas displays, and down

make their appearance within the
next few days.
Merchants are optimistic about
Christmas business, believing that
employment gains here in recent
months should mean the most pros
porous holiday season the city has
enjoyed in some years.
