tween the work of c. c. c. and N. Y. A. are obvious. c. c. c. has approximately 1850 camps, in which 260,000 enrolleeS are getting train ing. N. Y. A. has 500 work camps, and has additional work projects for youths who remain at home. In all, its programs take care of about 130000 young men. N. Y. A. pro- grams offer most of the varieties of work offered by c. c. c. and in addition include good deal of training in mechanics that the c. c. c. boys do not get.
 Both N. Y. A. and c. c. c. draw their enrollees from relief fami- lies. Many lads have at one time or another been in both groups; most of the lads who are eligible l for c. C.. c. are also eligible for 1 N. Y. A., and sometimes there aoc- tually has been competition for I the youths by the two services. In general, N. Y. A. currently has been trying to turn out young men equipped to take jobs in pri- vate industry, while o. c. c. has had slightly more of 8 military tinge. Some army authorities are known to feel that c. c. c. might well become training ground for many of the specialists" the growing army needs-cooks, bakers, truck drivers, signal corps linemen, and so on.
 ART
 FOR ALL
 With most of the government concentrating on the job of getting ready for war and destruction, you should know about the art work Edward Bruce is doing for your gov- ernment.
 Edward Bruce is chief of the section of fine arts of the Federal Works Agency, and it's his his job to see that new government build ings are properly equipped with 1 paintings, sculptures, muralS and what-not. He makes an exciting job out of 1t = largely because he is taking the capital A of of the word "art" and is getting 1t out of the art museums and into places like post offices, hospitals and court houses where ordinary folk can en- joy it.
 Biggest stunt Bruce has pulled re- gently is the set of water colors he got together. Uncle Sam was build ing & marine hospital at Carville, La. Usual procedure is to allot 1 1 per cent of the building cost for decorations Bruce announced that | he'd pay $30 apiece for each of 300 water colors-which comes to $9,- 900 - stipulating only that they be pleasant and cheerful in tone.
 More than 10000 painting were submitted ill this project, most of
 them by comparatively unknown artists, and most of them extreme ly good. Bruce had a committee of ranking artists pick the 300 for the hospital; then he put the best of the remainder on exhibition in i Washington. invited the public to buy them at $50 each, and a lot of pictures have been sold.
 And so, if your tax bills are bothering you unduly and you think the government is Wash ington is going to the dogs, you can get consolation out of the fact that it will go with artistic trim mingS.

Merry Co., Round Anticipated Main Points of President Speech Dec. }

President Roosevelt's message to Congress on January will go down as one of the most historic in recent years because of his urging of all possible aid to Great Britain with out loans or reservations.
 Yet exactly one month earlier, on December 3, The Washington Merry Go-Round, which appears daily in the Waterbury Democrat, told in detail exactly what the President proposed.
 Describing a confidential White House conference, Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen reported on Decem- Der that loans" with their post war headaches were ruled out and that "gift-or-swap plan" for aid to Great Britain was advocated on the following grounds:
 "D That if the United States
 really means what it says. namely
 that Britain is the first-line of
 American defense and is fighting
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-09

the battle of democracy against totalitarianiSm, then the only hon. est thing to do is to give Britain the planes, ships, arms and muni- tions she needs to wage this strug- gle.
 "(2) That the American people would far prefer such a straight forward policy to the back-door method of repeating the Johnson Act and putting financial assist ance on a commercial basis.
 "(3) That World War history proves war loans leave a heritage of dissension, which must be a. voided after the present conflict if peace is to be built on lasting foundation"
 Furthermore, The Merry Co., Round was almost one month a. head of the Presidents message in regard to social security, re- vealing on December 10 that the President, in planning for the new Congress, would advocate ex- tending old-age pensions to a wider group of oldsters.

work to the younger DR.. Kelsey.
His income. Halle soon realized
consisted largely of the proceeds
from the rental of the house, after
the high taxes and mortgage paw
ments. were deducted. But it was
enough, so that he could have her
old car put into good shape as a
present.
After two weeks of bridge par
ties, luncheons and teas given for
her, during which she talked
brightly of the wonderful time she
had had in Hollywood, Halle vas
glad to leave with Louise and 20
back to her place as Eric's wife.
At last the day came when their
trunk and small luggage was
strapped to the car, the overflow
to be carted in Sues car, and the
three of them started for the house
that was to be their home for
longer than they knew.
Augusta Amberson's house
wasn't exactly a dream cottage, or
vas it the sort Of country place
copied by scenic designers. 1t was
high and angular and painted a de-
pressing greenish brown. It's rooms
were many and small, and decorat-
ed and furnished with the heavy
decore of the Victorian period which
had been the fashion when it was
built.
But 1t was built sturdily on a
hill and its many windows lc ,ked
out upon rolling countryside and
spreading lawns, on tall, cool-giv-
ing trees and. on that June day,
there was a riot Of color in the url-
tended garden.
In the linen closets there were
piles Of lavender-scented sheets
and fragrant blankets for the big
four-posters in the bedrooms. And
wood in the baskets by the wide
hearths.
It's pretty glum, but it's all
yours, Sue said. "a man comes by
with butter and eggs and milk. It's
sort Of late to get started, but
maybe you car get something out
Of the vegetable garden. . . II
you get a Communication ticket, the
fare isn't high, and the station is
only a 15-minute drive. l guess
that's ALL"
Halle said, rs It all right to
have company:"
The sky's the limit" Sue said.
Il want to invite Win here"
Halle said that night. 1T wasn't
enough to just write and thank
him for the check. l want to do 1t
in person.
Eric was half asleep. win can
stay where he is"
But why. darling? Surely we
can have him for a weekend"
Asks too many questions. Might
be embarrassing" Eric said sleep
lily.
"Questions? About WHAT"
Eric turned over and buried his
head in the pillow. About Shella-
if YOU must know. Now go to sleep
and forget it
Halle didn't forget It. What
questions could Win ask about
Sheila?
