DefenseHousinq
Job al GreenbeIl
To StartSoon !
$50 of l,000-Unit !
Project to Be Begun |
Within 80 Days ]

Construction work on $50 homes
of the 1,000-unit defense housing
project On Government-owned acres
surrounding Greenbelt, Md, will be-
gin within 80 days, it was learned
today.
The first group of $50 homes win
be erected south of Ridge road and
east and west of South Way, which
intersects with Ridge road.
Another 200 dwellings will be
constructed on the eastern outskirts
of the community between North
and South Ways, just east of Ridge
road, which curves about the town.
The remaining $50 homes will be
built on a tract on the northern
limits of the community.
Surveyors have been at work for
the last several weeks, and their
job is almost completed. The Gov.
ernment will advertise for bids
within the next 10 days or two
weeks.
To Conform to Existing Designs.
The new homes are expected to
conform to the general architec-
tural design of buildings in the
community. However, it was dis
closed there will be no homes with
fiat roofs. All of the dwellings will
be two stories high, with gabled
roofs. They are to be either brick
veneer or asbestos shingle. Z
Farm Security Administration
spokesmen said the homes will
range in cost from s2,750 to s3,25o,
the average about $4,000. These
figures, however, do not include de-
velopment costs and those for ex.
tension lines from the towns public
utility system.
officials are anxious to learn the
cost Of the first $50 units as they
develop and point to the group as
a sort of trial balloon" Construc-
ton contracts for the other units
are expected to be allocated shortly
after the first group gets under
way.
One of Largest Projects.
The new project is one of the
largest assignments OF 43 defense
housing projects throughout the
country recently announced by John
M. Carmody, Federal Works aSmin-
istrator. Funds will be provided
under the terms Of the S150,000,0 900
Lanham Act for defense housing.
The project will be tied in with
| the present 1885, dwelling communi-
ty and is expected to double Green
belts present population of approxi-
mately 5000.
Officials consider the Greenbelt
tract ideal as a site for a defense
housing project designed to allevi-
ate already overcrowded housing
| conditions in Washington. In addi-
tion to being near the Capital, the
town already has utilities capabls
of serving a much larger COM
munity.

TRUCKS REMOVE ALUMINIUM PILE
City's Contribution to Be Held at City Yards Pend-
 ing Orders

Street department trucks this morning began taking the huge pile of aluminium collected here last week from the bin in front of the city hall to the city yards on Benedict street. The metal will be kept ct the yards until word inas been received by Mayor Vincent A. Scully as to where the metal is to be shipped to be melted down. { Removal of the aluminium from the big bin on the city hall plaza had to begin today Co allow park department workers to begin erect- ing a reviewing stand and bleach- CTS for the big American Legion parade Saturday.
 Officials estimated that from 20 to 25 truckloads of aluminium had been deposited in the bin as a re- suit of the city-wide aluminum- for-defense canvass last week. The drive was held in Waterbury a week early because of the state Legion convention here this week.
 Final contributions were accept ed yesterday. When no word had been received last night as to where it was to be shipped, Mayor Scully gave orders for its transfer to the city yards pending instructions from Washington.

FOREMEN CONDUCT
 TRAINING COURSE
Need of Experienced Men in Local Factories
 Stressed By Speakers

The initial sessions of the courses in the training of foremen, given under the joint sponsorship of the Industrial Foremen's club and the YMCA were held at the Central Y last evening. The five sessions were attended by almost 150 men.
 The courses represent one more phase of the campaign for national defense, the attempt to end the "bottleneck" which might otherwise result from a lack of trained fore men in local industry. Tn addition to the five groups which met last evening, there will be additional classes at the Oakville Pin O.. the American Brass Co., and the Bristol Co.
 This is thought to be the first at tempt of the kind in this part of the country. Those attending the classes are some of them already foremen, who want more training, but mostly workmen who hope for advancement. and who have been selected for these courses by their employers.
 Both Arthur L. Purinton, indus trial secretary of the Y and Howard Chamberlain, acting associate direc- tor of industrial education stressed the need for trained foremen here. and expressed gratification at the response shown by the men.
 The instructors who give the courses are Walter A. Brown and Thomas M. Calender of Bridgeport; Richard P. Calhoon of Naugatuck: Edwin A. Lachett and Henry F. Hinnamon of Hartford.

Official Insignias For
 Defense Workers
Stickers to Be Provided for Cars Entering Guarded
 Industrial Zones

An oflcially approved identiflca- ton insignia for motor vehicles used by defense workers who must pass inc and out of restricted areas of Connecticut industrial plants has been approved by Commissioner John T. Mccarthy of the State De- partrnent of Motor Vehicles and has been submitted to the Connecticut Manufacturers Association for con- s1deration and use by such asyocia- tion members as care to avail them. selves of the privilege.
 Commissioner Mccarthy stated yesterday that the department has received several requests from man. ufacturers for authority to use 8 sticker on the motor vehicles of their employees to permit ready and quick Identification of the car at the gates of their plants.
 "The theme of the various re- quests" said the commissioner, seems to be that in order to de- velop smooth flow of incoming trafflc, the cars must have identify ing seals or insignias. The men tending the gates have strict orders to admit only authorized persons. According to the letters we receive, if the car is not marked, the gate tender must stop 1t to identify the driver. It is claimed that & sticker on the car, approved by this depart ment so as to be recognized by the police and our inspectors as legal, would facilitate the handing of vehicular traffic at factory gates.
 We are glad, of course, to do any, thing we can to assist the industries of Connecticut, particularly in the truly tremendous task of handling the traflc flow to and from the va.
