 The slide occurred just below the Juneau garbage dump in what is known as Snowslide Gulch, blocking the highway there for 300 feet.

A pioneer experiment in first aid
instruction has been conducted so
successfully here by Sidney r.
Gould Of the American Red Cross
that it will be repeated in the fall.
Offlcials of the District Chapter
of the Red Cross believe that the
special course devised by Mr.. Gould
eventually will be offered by other
chapters throughout the Nation.
1t was created at the suggestion
of Birch A. Bayh, chief of the
physical education department for
the public schools of the District.
Mr.. Bayh heartily approved of
the first aid classes sponsored by
the Red Cross, but it occurred to
him that the instruction seldom
reached group which needed it
most-retarded children, in many
instances from homes lacking
simple first aid equipment.
So Mr.. Gould opened two spe-
cial classes, one at Parkview School
and another at the Addison Hyde
High School. All of the enrollees,
1OI OlIc ICdSOIl Vi WClC
behind in their regular school work.
Teachers of some had classified
them as problem" children. Ages
ranged from IL to II.
Learned With Eyes.
Use of the regular Red Cross
First Aid Textbook, Mr.. Gould
found, was impracticable. So utiliz-
ing the book as a reference, he re-
duced its Technology to the SIM
plest words he knew. When a
gesture or a sign, or better still a
full demonstration of procedure
was possible, the students learned
with their eyes as well as their
ears.
Ahead always was the goal q
Junior First Aid Certificate.
This was all that kept certain
members of the groups going at
times, for mastering the art Of emer-
gency aid to the injured is no easy
matter even for normal children.
Administration of artificial res
piration, location of major arteries
on which pressure might be applied
to stop the flow of blood, applica-
ton of rudimentary bandages-
these fundamentals were taught
like a game. Who'll be the first to
learn? Who could do the neatest
job? Who could keep the best
notebook? Initiative and enter
prise were encouraged.
Took More Glasses.
Instructor Gould took the classes,
consisting mainly of boys, to the
District Red Cross headquarters to
inspect exhibits and pictures of ap-
plication of first aid in floods, tor
nadoes, fires and war.
Ordinarily the junior course re-
quires IS hours of classwork. Such
simplified and often repeated pro-
cedures, however, took slightly long
er. But the results more than JUS
titled the extra time. For not
single pupil failed to win a certi-
f1cate. And this was a record few
classes, special or otherwise, could
boast.
The accomplishment is all the
more remarkable in that it is with
out precedent, so far as Red Cross
officials here know. There were no
previous experiences to serve as
guide.
Mr.. Gould had the advantage of
five years of first aid, life saving
and safety instruction with boys
and adults. His undergraduate work
at the University OF Rochester had
been supplemented with three years
Of study at the New York postgrad-
uate Medical School, where he ma
jored in bacteriology and hydro
therapy, and special intersession
course recently at the New York
University National Center of Safety
Education.

next Antarctic trip before the din

rejection yesterday Of a resolve ap-
propriating $2,077.86 to pay Boston

Gov. James M. Curley, Democrat,
gave Byrd on May 16, 1885.
1t was not paid originally because

Succeeding administrations were un-

the hotel pressed for payment.
Admiral Byrd now Is preparing for

since the Legislature meets bien-

would still be unpaid when he re-

Waterbury Housing Authority makes it possible to build new houses and through an annual sub sidy makes it possible to keep the rent low. The City of Wa terbury is not asked to spend a cent. The property at all times belongs to the city and by act of the General Assembly of the state is tax exempt.

 In closing wish to remind the people of Waterbury that an amendment to the State Housing Act has recently passed the General Assembly by unanimous consent and heen signed by the Governor, making the bonds of tn. local Housing Aut', critics legal investment. Also that Bridge port City Council has signed its agreement with the Bridgeport Housing Authority and will spend $6,500,000. New Haven will spend $5,000,000, New Britain will spend $3,5O0,000. What Waterbury spends is up to the citizens of the city and their local representatives, The Board of Aldermen.

 Waterbury Housing Authority
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-12

$500 letters condemning the housing plan were placed in the mails today after being written by ia prominent politician"
 MT. Harris declares that 10000 To- cal families live in standard dwellings, that 4000 families have no bathubs and that 5000 are with put hot water facilities. The wage earners and labor organizations of the city, he says, are backing the housing project.
 The public hearing will be held before the board of aldermen, which has been asked by the Housing Au- thority to approve start of the pro- gram.
 Statement Issued
 Mfr. Harris statement follows:
 Thirty-five hundred copies of a letter addressed to Taxpayers and largely attacking the slun clearance plans of the Waterbury Housing Authority were placed in the local postoffice for distribution this morning. The style in which the letter is written will be readily recognized as that of a prominent politician who is not concerned with the fact that 10000 Water- bury families are forced for lack of decent rents to live under con- ditions which should not be toler- ated in this country today.
 It doesn't seem to concern him that nearly nineteen hundred families are paying rent for dwell lings that have no toilets and that frequently tenement dwellers have ore toilet for four or more fam flies. It doesn't concern him that four thousand families are with out bath tubs and that nine thou sand have no hot water accomo- dations. It doesn't concern him that over fifteen hundred dwell lings are in need of structural re- pairs and consequently are unsafe for living purposes. It doesn't con- cern him that the U. s. Dept. of Commerce reports that there are 3763 rents in the city that are be- yond the realm of modernization and should be demolished for economic reasons. It doesn't con- cern him and he doesn't see why any one else should be concerned with the fact that it is practically impossible for low wage earner, whose total family income is only $75.00 month to find a livable rent at $500 per month with the

SUPT. FLEMING SEEKING LEGAL
 ADVICE ON VOTE
Questions Action of Board of Works on Retain
 ing Wall

A question was raised to- day as to the legality of the action of the Board of Works, at a. special meeting last night, in inStructing Super intendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming to construct a new retaining wall on city prop erty on Cloves terrace. The wall is reported falling apart, and. the city engineers office claims it constitutes a serious menace.
 The boards vote last night was on recommendation of the Board of Finance. No specific sum was al- lotted, but MT. Fleming was instruct ed to have his department build the wall. He was told that the money, to be expended from regular funds for maintenance, would be placed back in his budget later in the year.
 That's why I'm sitting over in court every day." protested MT. Fleming when the motion was read. When the board passed the vote he asked for a written copy of it for study by his lawyer, Attorney Pat rick Healey.
 The engineering department has estimated that the new wall will cost $6,500.
 Section 76 of the city charter pro- vides that no city money shall be spent without specific appropriation.
 Section 84 provides that no public improvement shall be voted without an appropriation having been made.
 The legality question was to be studied today by Attorney Healey.
