SCOUT EXECUTIVES
 IN SESSION TODAY
District Leaders to Attend Supper Tonight at
 Camp Mattatuck

The executive committee of the Mattatuck Council, Boy Scouts of America, had meeting at noon to- day at the Waterbury club. The president of the council, Walter II Deaco~. presided. Others present were John M. Burrall, J. Milton Burrall, Jr., David P. Babson, chief scout executive; Samuel P. Williams Jr., E. s. Sanderson, Lewis J. Hart Martin L. Martus, and P. Dutton Noble.
 Tonight the Naugatuck district scout leaders will have a supper meeting at Camp Mattatuck in Ply mouth, after which there will be a tour of inspection around the new camp.
 Next Sunday afternoon there will be an outing at the camp for all the scoutmasters and committeeman of all the troops in the central district. Plans for the affair are under the direction of Commissioner Frank Schwartz. Any of the wives of the fcout leaders are cordially invited to attend the outing. Everyone is expected to furnish his own lunch, as the supply of food at the camp is hardly more than sufficient for the scouts, whose appetites are pretty well whetted by the outdoor air and exercise. The scout leaders will have short business meeting on Sunday afternoon, to make plans for fall activities. The troops com prising the central district are 1, 9, '. 2c, 25 and 20, in addition to Ship I. sea scouts.

Corporation counsel will rule shortly on legality of proposed drastic traffic changes here.
 and ban on night parking from 2 to 6 a. i11., were referred to the corporation counsel by the board.
 Corporation Counsel Charles s O'Connor said yesterday before the meeting that he had not seen the proposed regulations since sheir tentative stages.
 Reads Letter
 W. 0. Feltman, president of the Brass Workers Union, read a letter fron John J. Driscoll, executive secretary of the organization, a C1C affiliate. The letter recommended that a public hearing be heard on the proposed regulations to get the opinion pro and con of the people.
 "The all-night parking ban," the letter declared," would be a serious inconvenience to working men," .. these who depend on their cars to get to work, but cannot afford gar- ages.
 The letter said that the people of Waterbury are heartily sick of star chamber sessions" that the pro- posed code was prepared and almost put through without informing the public. "The code smacks of class legislation" the latter said, and caters to garage and parking lot owners.
 MT. Feltman himself said:
 'The bans might have been put over on the citizens of Waterbury in the same way as in other cities, ex- cept for the fact that the newspa- pers spilled the beans."
 Facilities Lacking
 Charles Simmons and John Balt- rush also spoke in opposition to the proposed all-night ban, saying that they knew of specific places where garage facilities were lacking. A protest by letter from P. B. Wil- Hams, Jr., of g Ray street, pointed out that this is hilly city, making the building of garages in some sec tons extremely difficult and costly, the letter also expressed the opin- ion that property owners should not be deprived of parking rights in the streets in front of their homes.
 Advocates of the plan, including Supt. Roach, have stressed the points that the code would aid the

fire department, promote ease oi business visits, aid police at night in checking irregularities. Supt Roach, and Deputy Chief Daniel J. Carson were not present. James Little, of the accident prevention bureau, attended the meeting.
 Chairman Henry W. Minor said that the bans undoubtedly would work some hardship on individuals but the thing to be considered is the greatest good for the greatest number"
 Before the meeting came to order Chairman Minor announced that the proposed new regulations would be referred to the corporation coun- sel. Protests were heard after the meeting was called to order.
 Laws To Be Amended
 If the regulations are put into ef- feet, MT. Minor said, 1t would first be necessary for the board of al- dermen to rescind the present city laws on traffic. Any part of the old laws that the commission wish es to retain would be incorporated in the new regulations and passed by the police board as part of the entire code. Board members said they could not pass the code as an ordinance, but as regulations, sub- ject to revision, before passed by the aldermanic board.
 A plea to change the parking reg ulations on North Elm street, was heard from Ernest Miranda, who said his family operated a cafe at l28-130 of that street. He asked for open parking at his place of busi- ness, saying that a ban imposed in front of his cafe drove business away. He was told that the matter would be given consideration, and one commissioner remarked that his plea had merit.

WORKERS ALLIANCE APPEALS FOR JOBS
A six Governor to Fulfill Campaign Promise on
 Good Jobs"

Taking Governor Raymond E. Baldwin at his word, the Workers Alliance of Waterbury last night voted to ask him to put into prac- tice his oft-repeated assertion There is no substitute for a good job in private industry" The al- liance approved a proposal to send him a letter asking that jobs be given those laid off by the WPA as result of a law adopted by con. gress through the efforts of 6 coalition of Republicans and anti. Roosevelt Democrats.
 The letter reminds the governor that he campaigned last fall on a platform declaring that private jobs were better than work relief and asks him to secure jobs for those dis missed by the WPA.
 The alliance also voted to write to Mayor Frank ayes asking that city relief be provided for the fam flies of those laid off by the WPA.
 The letter to Gov. Baldwin fol- lows:
 Dear Governor:
 "At the time Of the state election, when you were elected governor, you came before our people with the pledge to furnish private employ ment in place of work relief as the more preferable of the two. Now that it seems that your wishes have been partly r,alized, in the respect that large numbers on the WPA have been dismissed from work, we would like to remind you of the al- ternati' offer which you made at that time.
 "If there ever was need for jobs in private industry, that need is here now. Our organization is anx- iously waiting for you to produce those jobs which you assured us would be forthcoming. We are lock- ing forward to an early reply"
 The letter to Mayor Hayes follows; Dear Mayor:
 "1n view of the situation created by the dismissal of several hum dred workers from WPA, and the shortage of funds at the disposal of the welfare department, our or gani2ation is apprehensive for the welfare of the many who now re- quire relief.
 Since th~se dismissals were put into effect on the basis of length of employment on WPA without giv- inC consideration to need, and since in each case those dismissed are certified for relief, 1t is the opinion of our organization that they should receive full and adequate relief without delay.
 "A public statement of assurance on your part that the unemployed will be properly cared for, would serve to lessen our apprehension.
 We would appreciate your very immediate attention concerning this matter"

 The symphony orchestra, which is like large family living harmon iously, the children refer to the var ious sections of the orchestra as families of instruments. The picco- 10 and his big brother, the flute, were old friends of the group, but 1 the oboe and his cousin, the Eng fish horn caused few wrinkles and law gees."
