 ton of Reception Room

Watertown, May 27 = President Charles Seymour of Yale spoke at a dinner here Saturday night cele- brating the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Taft School. This dinner was the feature event of a two-day program which brought 500 alumni and many friends of the school here to observe the ceremo- nies and hail Horace D. Taft, foun- der and headmaster emeritus.
 Taft School was established in Pelham Manor, N. Y, in 1890, but was removed three years later to its present site in Watertown, to be one of the pioneers among Connec- ticut preparatory schools. Through the years its student body has grown from 10 boys in 1890 to a regular enrolment today O. $50.
 Horace D. Taft, brother of the late President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft, founded the school seven years after his gradu- tion from Yale in 1883, and served as headmaster until 1886, when he was succeeded by Paul Cruikshank, also graduate of Yale and founder of Romford School in Washington
 President Seymour paid high tri- bute to MT. Taft, whose absence was forced by slight illness. Other speakers on the program were Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, an alumnus and Paul Cruikshank present headmaster.
 One of the feature events of the day was the unveilng of a bust of MT. Taft, which was presented to the school by the Hon. Thomas D. Thacher of New York in behalf oi the alumni. The bust was executed by Evelyn Longman 3atchelder wife of the headmaster of Loomis School in Windsor.
 Sunday large reception room was dedicated in memory of Har- ley F. Roberts, who for many years was Tafts senior master and who was, along with MT. Taft, the schools only stockholder before MT Taft turned it over to Board oi Trustees in 1920. 8isnop John T Dallas of New Hampshire officiateo at the ceremonies.

here. Waterbury's quota is $2O,OOO. Enlarsing his remarks, Father Cryne said.
 "The work the Red Cross is dO- ing today for humanity in the midst of Europe's carnage repre- sents the Christian ideal toward whic. all men of good will aspire. It is one thing to say that we are ineffably saddened by the events overseas, but it is something else again to ask what can be done about it. Perhaps none of us can intervene to the extent of halting the destruction; perhaps we are destined to look on while armies establish a new record of brutal ity. But certainly we can do our part in supporting the program of the Red Cross, an organization dedicated to the task of relieving the sufferiMgs of helpless men, women ant children stricken by the backlash of war.
 "Whatever we can give to this campaign will be gesture 0s real charity. Al! over the United States our people are concerned for the plight of the innocent victims of this war. None of us as individuals

Bio Increase Noted
In livestock OLCned
Blu Clients of FSA

An increase Of 1,131 percent in the
number of sheep owned by farm Sc
curity clients on the Milk river
northern Montana project in the last
five years is reported by project Of
ficials. In 1884 clients owned about
ATS. This figure has increased to about
$500 In 1899.
Beef cattle have increased by about
IS percent, dairy cattle by ITS percent,
hogs by 800 percent and poultry by
1872 percent. Clients own about $50
head of beef stock, 1000 head Of dairy
stock, 800 hogs and 8,750 chickens.
When reSettlement clients were re-
located on developed, irrigable tracts
by the farm security administration,
livestock holdings had been greatly re-
duced by years of drouth and hard
times. Following reSettlement Of the
families an important phase of their
rehabilitation has been loans for dairy
cattle, farm flocks of sheep or other
livestock to supplement the farm in
come Livestock purchases were en-
couraged where grazing rights could
be obtained.
The addition Of livestock has meant
a substantial increase In taxable per-
Sonal property in Blaine, Phillips and
Valley counties. The project shows in
creased county revenue from so farms
in Phillips county since 1884. Sixty

Joseph Il. Parker stated IN COM

PROGRAMS.
Thinking in terms of welfare, the
Montana work projects administration
between June, 1885, and January, 1910
has provided 1922 hot school lunch
es for undernoutshed children, main
tanned nursery schools for 1888 needy
children and distributed $4,000 boy
garments, $4,000 girls garments and
100000 infants garments from WPA
sewing rooms. In homes where there
has been Illness, 32,361 home vista
lions have been made to cook, clean
and care for children In stricken
homes.
Free Hot Lunches Served
1.-THE WPA school-lunch program has
met the problem of undernouriShment
in the most direct way by serving
needy children free lunches on every
school day." Parker stated. 'SThis has
not only satisfied the children's inn
mediate need but provided an oppor-
tunity for them to build up the food
habits necessary for maintaining good
health.
"a similar program with the addi-
ton of more routine has accomplished
much the same results IN Montana
nursery schools" Parker added.
In addition to the nursery schools,
the program is now maintaining parent
education and homemaktng classes at
tended by an average Of SAT parents
The classes promote study Of
proper food, clothing, health aids and
child training.
An interesting sidelight of the
health program Is the camp main
tanned every summer for underprtvi-
legged Indian children between the ages
of and Is at Blue Bay camp on
Fqathead lake. Divided into two groups
Of so children each, the program gives
q months care and training to each
group. Only children recommended by

attend.

tration, a health program is main
tanned which consists Of regular rising
and retiring hours, exercises, personal
hygiene, balanced meals, rest periods
and a recreational program including
swimming, playground activities, handi-
craft, free play, motor boating, story
hours and informal programs. Instruc-
tors are qualified both as to life saw
ing and first aid. An agency doctor
and nurse examine the children weekly
and a matron is kept for the care Of
small children.
Approximately 20 buildings have
been built by WPA at the camp as
well as land cleared and q recreation
area developed.
The field Of recreation has been
valuable contributor also to the I'M
proVement of child health, Parker
pointed out. WPA recreational workers
have supervised recreational activities
IN 100 communities which have an av-
erage monthly attendance of 81 sos in
dividual participants Approximately
1926 OF the number were participants
IN tot-lot and pre-school activities.
To promote better physical develop
ment through recreatiOnal activities,
WPA labor has been employed TO build
and recondition 81 new parks, "a ath-
lettc fields, so skating areas and ia
has newly built is handball courts, IA
horseshoe courts, 1853 tennis courts, z
wading pools, 11.9 miles of ski trails,
10 sld jumps and 10 golf courses.
FOR several years the WPA mas
been one of the leading contributors
to child health and welfare" Parker
stated. TN cooperation with local and
state health authorities we hope to
make this nth annual observance of
National Child Health day one Of the
most effective In the state"
