answers. Their first efforts will be to make the city managership stick in Waterbury. They are no tyros in politics. They will handle the legis- lators. Remember. Waterburians can still determine their own fate by majority vote at home, but Water bury has no majority in the legisla- ture. Waterbury is g city. The House of the General Assembly is controlled by towns and city folks pleading for a change in government may receive scant consideration Once you get city managership, you may likely have it saddled on you for the remainder of your lives. Think it over.
 There is only one more thing I want to say-that is-vote intelli- gently next Tuesday. Don't throw away your liberty by voting for the City Manager charter. If you don't know what the city manager plan is in its entirety, and if you are not satisfied with it, then you are bad citizen if you vote for this plan. Now don't take the obvious. Don't take anyone's word for it. There can be and are catches in the charter.
 Taking Chances
 And are you willing to take the chance that once this form of gov ernment has been established that you will never be able to get rid of 1t? Are you willing to vote for a form of government that is SO com- plex that 1t may be full of jokers without your knowing it? If you are not you will vote "No" next Tuesday by pulling the second lever.

REDS MOBILIZE
 BALTIC FLEET
Dispatch Claims A tiOn Due to Sinking
 of Freighter

Paris, Sept. 28-(UP)--A dispatch to the Agence Radio News Service from Moscow reported today that Russia had mobilizcd its entire Ball. tic fleet as the result of the alleged torpedoing of the Russian ship Met allist off the Esthonian coast.
 The dispatch reported that the Russian navy commissar, N. G. Kuz- netsov, had reported to Josef Stalin on the situation.
 Reports from Stockholm said Es- thonian Foreign Minister Karl Sel- ter, who arrived at Moscow yester- day a little while before the alleged sinking was announced, had now been informed that as a result of the incident Esthonia would be forced to accept Russian demands.
 (These demands were reported to include the diSarming, and prob- ably the handing over to Russia, of two important island. near the Gulf of Riga, and a series of trade pro poSals.w
 The Agence Radio said three Rus sian planes flew over Tallinn, Es- thonia, yesterday at an altitude of about 1850 feet after being cata- quilted from a Russian warship near Wrangel Island. Another Russian plane, it was asserted, was sighted near Narva, and flew inland for 100 miles at'a low altitude. It was ofi Narva Bay. according to Russia, that the Metallist was torpedoed.

Aviation Program For MA Village at Nepaug
Co-Sponsorship Announced Today = Actual Expert.
 ence in Flying to Be Given Youths By Government

Nepaug Village, IVA resident center in Burlington, Connecticut is being co-sponsored for the 1939-1940 fiscal year by the Connecticut Avia- tion Commission, according to an announcement made today by Rich ard A. Barrett, State Administrator for the National Youth Administra- ton. Under this arrangement the personnel of the Department of Aer- onautics will be available, in an ad- visory capacity, to assist in the formulation of an intensive aviation program at Nepaug. It is planned to integrate aviation training and ex- perience with the various shops now in operation in addition to conduct ing related training courses in that field.
 Valuable Training
 Barrett added that the lure and interest of aviation, if applied to formal training and experience in other fields or skills, will make that training far more valuable and last ing to those youth employed. This fact, he continued, in addition to the many opportunities for employ ment to be found in the aviation industry, is the primary reason for the installation of the aviation pro- gram at the village.
 Aviation instruction at Nepaug village in the past has mainly been confined to informal training. Re- gently an aviation instructor was engaged and two aeroplane motors have been procured in preparation for actual experience. Plans are be- ing prepared for the construction of building to be devoted entirely to aviation and related instruction. Here will be located various types of motors, @ machine shop, and 8 drafting room. If conditions permit, those in charge expect to secure an aeroplane for practical experimental tion in ground work.
 Nepaug Village was turned over to the State Forestry Commissioner in 1896, and converted into an IVA resident center in the Spring of 1888. Here are comfortable facilities for the housing of 83 young men who enroll for Q period of six month during which time they are assigned to one of the many work experience units which the project offers. The program is designed to give the young man an opportunity to deter mine the type of work for which he is best adapted. This is done by dividing the enrolment period into two terms during which a worker can receive experience in one of the following units: woodworking, sheet metal work, auto mechanics, avia- tion mechanics, institutional cook ing. clerical skills, landscaping grounds improvement, machine shop, and gardening.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-28

Only one half of the working day is spent in the shops; the other half is spent in @ class room where in- struction, related to the work being completed is given.
 Eligibility requirements for en- rollment at Nepaug demand that g youth, show need for IVA employ ment, be between the ages of IS and 25, and @ citizen of the United Stat s. Application for enrolment may be placed at any IVA office or by writing to the state office at 1044 Chapel Street, New Haven, Connec- tic1lt.
