Family Units Show Increase

Remember way back when
in 1910 we had a census? If you
do, you may remember that the flg-
ures showed per cent more popu-
lation since 1880 But you possibly
may not know that family units
have increased much faster-more
than 1873 per cent since 1880.
This family increase is regarded
as most significant because the mum.
Der of occupied dwelling units close
ly approximate the number Of pri.
vate households. According to this,
there can be no doubt that increas-
ing numbers of Americans are
thinking in terms of homes.

Nigrosine Simplest Way
Of Dyeing Leather Black

According to the United States de-
partment of agriculture bulletin on
Home Tanning Of Leather, one Of
the simplest and the best means Of
dyeing leather black is the use Of
nigrosine. Make up the dye solution
in the proportion Of one-hah ounce
of water-soluble nigrosine dissolved
in IA pints of water. Be sure to
get water-soluble nigrosine. Even
ly mop or brush this solution over
the damp leather after draining.
II water-soluble nigrosine is not
available. a fairly good black may
be secured with iron liquor and
sumac. To make the iron liquor,
mix clean iron filings or turnings
with one-haf gallon Of good vinegar
and let the mixture stand for sew
eral hours. See that there are al
ways some dissolved filings in the
vinegar For a medium or large
hide put from 10 to Is pounds Of
dried crumbled sumac leaves In a
barrel containing 80 TO ~ gallons
Of warm water. Stir well. and when
cool hang in it the wet chrome
tanned hides. Leave the hides in
this solution for about two days, pull
ing them up and mixing the solution
frequently. Take out the hides,
rinse off all bits of sumac, and even
ly mop or brush over with the iron
liquor. Rinse of the excess iron
liquor and put the hides back in the
sumac overnight. II not black
enough the next morning mop over
again with the iron liquor, rinse and
return to the sunac solution. Scrub
thoroughly with warm water, then
rinse several times In clear water.

Excessive Variety MOnOtOny
Designing homes so that they will
be in harmony with other houses in
the neighborhood is sometimes a
serious problem. The federal hous-
ing administration urges develop

a limited number of house plans,
variety and interest may be secured
by having sometimes the end eleva-

the garages and by varying the set
back line and the planting so inter.

Is Your Car Safe?

In horse-and-buggy days, if you wanted to hitch Nellie up to buggy whose wheels were about to drop off, it was nobody's business but your own. If the wheels dropped off you were the only one that got hurt or the people in the wagon with you. It's different today when you sit down behind the wheel of a heavy vehicle like the automobile, great masses of potential horsepower chained in tiny engine. You with others drive these vehicles of possible destruction 50 miles per hour and faster over the high ways.
 There is certainly an obligation on your part that your automobile be safe in all respects It must not constitute mov- ing engine of destruction. This isn't merely for your own sake, but for the sake of other drivers and the countless pedestrians by whom you may Whizz with utter disregard in the course of a day. Connecticut has been inspecting motor vehicles now for several years past. All of us don't approve of the scheme but the figures here and in other states where there are compulsory tests point out the, value.
 In Washington, D. C., for example 57 per cent of a million motor cars inspected in the last two years were found to be un- safe in some respects Of this percentage $500 were removed from the streets entirely as completely unsafe. In last year alone 27,000 repair jobs or replace ments were ordered. It's not racket, motorists; it's for safety.
 And your own car?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-01
A Thought for Today
Still Big Problem

What to do about and for the state parks and forests of Connecticut remains a problem that succeeding administra- tions have apparently not solved. The State Park and Forest Commission right now is endeavoring to persuade the Leg islature to approve $3,000,000 bond issue, proceeds from which would be used to defray the cost of expanding our present system. It is the earnest wish of the commission that a number of big and important projects be cared for at one and the same time.
 Governor Robert A. Hurley has let it be known that he will veto such meas ure if it passes the General Assembly. This would seem, therefore, to kill off any pos Sible chance of the commission securing the bond issue. But there might be compromise which would permit the conl- pletion of some portion of the recreational expansion program during the coming bi- ennium. We doubt if the amount set up in Governor Hurleys budget would be sufficient for any such major project, but it must be admitted that what Gov ernor Hurley proposes to do for the parks and forests in the way of providing funds is much more than his predecessors have done.
 The parks and forests of Connecticut have been kicked around quite bit in the past twenty-five years The wonder of it is that they have become, as they are today, such an integral part of Connecti- cuts recreational advantages. There are parks and forests in every corner of the state. There are all sorts of facilities in them for winter and summer enjoyment. Vast acres of woodland have been saved from the ravages of nature and man. We arc performing notable service in pre- serving our natural heritage from being allowed to go to waste. But the work must go on and on.
 Thanks to CCC efforts Connecticut in the last six or seven years has profited tremendously in man-power available for work in these public areas. Without this aid our program would still be years be- hind. It is behind definitely in land acquisition, particularly along the shore front. Every effort, even money appro- priations, should be made to speed up the good work.
