several clever little tricks to give
added charm to the room. BY plac-
ing very sheer white riffled curtains
over yellow ones she has achieved
a soft effect at the window which
is most attractive. A white bed
spread tufted in yellow picks up the
yellow again. On the walls are a
series of pictures of story book
themes which are attractive by day
and at night after the lights are
turned out are still visible as the
outlines are painted in luminous
paint.
The other bedroom is furnished
in mahogany with plum -colored
draperies, blue rug and accessories
against a striped wallpaper.
Living Room Plum and Blue.

kitchen would still be of ample size
for comfort.
There is a good school IL miles

houses will be a village in them
selves when completed and should
become a happy neighborhood for
children.

surpass that figure.
Gains in Smaller Cities.
A total of $4,000 OF the houses
erected this year with public funds
are in defense areas. The remaining
l7,453 units were in non-defense
projects of the original U. S. H. A.
SUM clearance program. During
the first nine months of last year a
total of 39l54 units. or 10 per cent
Of the total number, were publicly
financed. This shows an increase
of 7 per cent in public housing
financing this year over last.
The large gain in dwelling units
this year over 1910 was entirely due
to a 80 per cent increase in the
number of one-family dwellings.
The number of apartment units
showed no change, while two-family
units decreased 3 per cent. Approx
mately "a per cent of the urban total
of dwelling units started in the nine
months this year are in one-family
dwellings.
Although the number OF new
dwelling units showed increases in
cities of all size classifications. the
Labor Department says the largest
gains have taken place in the
smaller cities and in outlying areas
Of the larger metropolitan sections.

Godgets
New Preparations
RepeI Moisture
From Masonry
BY HILSON MUNSEY.

The protection of brick or masonry
walls against moisture Is a very
important matter that will repay
many times over the cost of apply
ing this protection, in the elimina-
ton of repair bills and the better
appearance of the home Moisture
penetrating masonry has several
bad qualities.
The moisture may go far enough
eventually to cause wet spots on
the interior walls. II the moisture
freezes in the brick or mortar it
will produce scaling and make the
walls unsightly.
There are a number Of prepara-
tions on the market designed to
overcome this condition. They de-
pend upon their effectiveness in
preventing the moisture getting into
the walls. Wax and oil preparations
are on sale, but there Is one that
is neither of these but a chemical
that will seal the pores of the
masonry. 1t repels moisture and
prevents the. entrance OF moisture
into the brick or cement. 1t is not
affected by heat or cold and by
sealing the pores retards discolora-
ton caused by the penetration and
accumulation of SCOT, dust or at
mospheric acids.
Surface Preparation.
Before the chemical is applied,
the surface must be clean and dry.
II any of the cement joints have
been damaged by the effects of
weather they must be brushed out
with steel brush. or scraped clean,
and then pointed up with water
proof cement. Window frames and
door jambs must be calked and
any damaged copings repaired. The
preparation can be applied in either
warm or cool weather by brushing
or spraying. A gallon of the chemi-
cal will treat 65 square feet with
two coats. There are three diff
ferent varieties of the preparation,
one for light surfaces. another for
darker surfaces and the third for
porous and light-colored buildings.
Another waterproofing material
that can be applied to either dry
or damp surfaces at any temper
ature above freezing is on the mar
ket. This means that walls can
be washed down and the water
proofing applied Immediately. with
out waiting for the surface to dry.
and thus save much valuable time
The manufacturers state that this
waterproofing will cover 400 square
feet for every gallon used.
Both these preparations are
transparent and both require the
same preliminary treatment of the
surface.
Added Space In Closets.
Economy of space can be obtained
by the use of the inside of the
closet door. This is done by the
fastening Of a unit onto the in
terror of the door that will supply
many needs; in fact, these units
are made for innumerable purposes.

Raymond Veillette's
 Condition Is Good
Strange Experience of Madison St. Boy Still Excites
 Wonder, Comment Throughout City

Raymond veillette, 13, of 152 Madison street. whose extraordi- nary experience has been the won- der and comment in the city for the past several days after 1t was learned that he travelled distance of more than 1000 feet underground through an 18-inch drain outlet in the Hamilton Park swimming pool, was reported this noon by St. Marys hospital as in good" corldi- ton, but is under observation for a brain concussion and laceration of the scalp.
 Veillette was swimming Wednes- day night at the Hamilton pool with five other companions when he sud- denly vanished from the group while attempting to recover white stone which was thrown in by one of the group. He reports strong current pulled his body to the pool outlet grating and that he was un- able to free himself from the strong suction, but was swept down the drain pipe.
 His companions thought that he was playing joke on them and had sneaked away after swimming under water and climbed out from the pool and hid, but after a boy who was walking to the pool saw the Veillette boy walking along the Plank road in his swimming trunks, the boys substantiated the conten- tion of the youth that he was wash
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-30

ed out of the pool by the suction from the outlet drain pipe and car- ried underground until he was dis charged about 20 feet south oi Plank road.
 Supt. of Parks James Curtin ex- presses some scepticism at the story. It is his opinion that the youngster may have walked to the mouth of the drain at Plank road where it empties and started an ex- ploratory trip up the four foot pipe and was swished back when the drain outlet in the pool was opened after 8 o'clock that night, and as a result suffered his injuries.
 The corroboration of the compan- ions who insist that the disappear ance of their companion was sud- den, may indicate that some in- advertence on the part of some employe may be blamed for the in- cident and the city may be involved in a possible litigation over alleged negligence.
 The youths who upheld the story of their companion are: Donald Perugini, IS, of 36 Welles street Raymond Ruby, 13, of 38 Welles street, and the Pronovost brothers Roger, l2, George, IA, and Charles 16, of 76 Laval street. They also claimed they saw the opening through which he was sucked in and state that no grill covered the hole.

BOND BIDS ARE
 DUE TONIGHT
Aldermen Expected to Ac- cept Offer On Million
 Dollar Bond Issue

The board of alderman will acc cept bids for the issuance of water bonds at a special meeting onight in the aldermanic chambers.
 None for the million dollar con- tract had not been received >at an early hour today, but it was ex- pected that large number of of- fers would be forthcoming late this afternoon and tonight. The award will be made in accordance with new practice recently adopted in this connection.
 Hitherto the rate of interest has been determined by the city, and the contract granted to the firm offer ing the greatest premium. The method now will be to favor the concern charging the smallest rate of interest. This will enable the city to borrow the exact amount de- sired without the necessity of hav- ing to pay interest on amounts in excess of what is needed.
 Proceeds from the Notation will be used to finance the construction ot the second pipe line from the Nor ris reservoir to the city, Preliminary work has already be- gun on the project, and the contract for the laying of the pipe line has been awarded to the Lock Joint Pipe Go, of New Jersey for a sum ot $894,821.

Canadian Army Guards Huge Aluminium Plant
$l5O,OOOOOO Concern At Arvida, Quebec, Pros "A tected by Tanks, Barbed Wire, Against
 Strikers Who Might Destroy It

Arvida, Que, July SO.-; ;(UP) The Canadian army using tanks and barhed wire, guarded the $15O O,O0O, . 900 plant of the Aluminium Com pany of Canada today while off, cials of the National Catholic Syndi- cate of Aluminium Workers denied snat the 300 men. who forced the plant to close last week had been motivated by a desire to sabotage Canada's war effort.
 70. D. Howe, minister of munitions and supply, in lifting censorship on the occurrence, charged in Ottawa last night that the men had Seized the plants pot room after fist fight with office workers and com pany policemen last Thursday night, permitted the metal retoftS to cool, and held the plant until the troops arrived on Sunday. He termed 1t an 'teneny" attempt at sabotage, as- serted that it was not connected with any labor trouble, and that, as a result, four weeks production of aluminium had been lost.
 z Question of Wages
 Alexis c. Daris, president of the syndicate, said the men had acted after the union had held prolonged and unsuccessful negotiations with the company and that the question of wages rather than any desire to sabotage the war effort, motivated the strikers. He said the union was accepting that last weeks strtike was illegal and had called it of, but that it was taking the necessary steps preliminary to a legal strike.
 The syndicate sent shift of some 300 men into the plant last night to csrape the metal pots that had been permitted to cool and otherwise prepare the plant for a resumption

the police melted away and the office workers were routed.
 All the other workers, number ing approximately 10,0O0, half those of the company, half those of the Foundation Company of Canada, which is enlarging the plant, left and the 300 men who had captured the pot room locked and barricaded the gates. Royal Canadian Mount ed Police arrived the next day but he men held their position. Sum- day morning two companies of the Canadian army arrived and the men then withdrew voluntarily.
 Howe said that the leaders would be arrested and prosecuted and that the government had passed an or- der-in-councn that would permit him to call out the mounted police and the army to deal with such sit- nations if local or provincial author ities demonstrated their inadequacy.
 Under Canadian law, strike is not legal unless the union has first asked the department of labor to appoint conciliation board to which 1t submits it's grievance. Daris said that the syndicate intended to ask the department at once to ap- point a board.

 Daris said an Ii man committee of the syndicate had held confer ences with company officials on May 27, June 12, and June 2S and this was confirmed by company officials. He said that yesterday 26O0 workers attended union meeting and voted a new strike by an overwhelming majority.
