Up town and down. Scenes of yesterday are newer complete without one vista of the old West Erd as it was in the days when the old iron bridge was used by pedestrian and vehicuar traffic an later the Middlebury cars across the river. Only few recall the Burnt Hill baseball and football fleld but many know the well and perhaps recall some of the Iumnares from this section of the town .!me was when the various circuses coming to Waterbury played not on the American Brass park in the West End but on Porters lots in the East End or the Naugatuck River just this side of the brooKyh bridge.

WINTER

Winter has come along once more, And the snow is the ground The birds have flown away, The barren trees all around But the people go and come the same old way, Some go foot and others ride, They never stop from day to day, But continue going like the tide. I am looking from the upper window On the great big hill beyond, The same old railroad smoke Is there, But the many houses little further on. They look like great big snowbanks, Agl!stening all the day. Take wstfu look at them For they quickly melt away. And the trees are there awaiting, I can them as go, Awaiting for the sunbeams To melt away the snow.

 Washington, Jan. Babies deliv- cred in defense trailer camps by untrained mid-wives tots locked in cars I'll day while their parents work in "lunition factories boom town kids, deprived of adequate school facilities, exploited by local industries and street trades. These actual findings of responsible in- vestigato-s bespeak the urgency of Children's Defense Program.
 The Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor l. positive in thinking it does. The Office O. Civilian Defense is also emphatic in insisting that it does. And the Public Health Surv.ce, the Office of Education, and many private welfare agencies, clamor for posi- tive action Fin defense of the fu- ture."
 The trouble is that "just any, body" cant conduct child health or a prenatal clinic. Running a nursery school, too, is job for some one trained in modern tech- niques of child psychology. Even planning and preparing hot school lunches takes some knowledge of nutrition and domestic science.
 Dr. Martha Eliot, Associate Chief of the Children's Bureau, talking before a Washington conference on Women's Activities in Civilian De- fense, said unequivocally, There is a shortage of skilled workers that cannot be met for some time to come"
 A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
 Another call for volunteers ap- pears to be the only answer to this problem of safeguarding young Americans. And, going about the job ill a methodical way, the OCD aided by the Children'S Bureau has formulated new course for Amer jeans who wish to lend hand on the home front-an 30-hour train ing program for child care volun- teerS.
