Mrs. Hopping Pool TO Mrs.

on hand TO prove we still have
an abundance Of azure-blood in
our midst.
One must not confuse the
Colonial Danes Of America with
the rival organization. the Ma
tional Society of Colonial Danes.
For while both are composed
Of ancestral ladies with forbears
who played distinguished and
patriotic part in our colonial
and revolutionary wars. there is
a wide gulf-and great bitter
ness-between the two groups.

group OF females in the nation
when Mrs. Elizabeth Duane
Gillespie. a great-granddaughter
Of Benjamin Franklin, applied
for membership many years ago.
There was great CONSERVATION
when the Colonial Danes OF
America turned thumbs down on
Mrs. Gillespie as member.
Certainly she. herself. was a
most distinguished woman and
active in many fine undertake
ings.
But the straight-laced colon
ial danes insisted Benjamin
Franklin had neglected to marry
the lady with whom he lived for
years and who bore him chill
dren.
THE WHOLE thing caused q
row in colonial DANES quarters
that rocked the country.
Many colonial danes who
felt the Importantly placed and
civic-minded Mrs. Gillespie was
being given raw deal rushed 10

of America and started a rival
organization, the National So

to join-which she did.
Then followed a series or

men were elinging. The next thing

The sailors on the nfeboat tried
to hold Bennett out Of the water. but
his head kept falling back and he
swallowed = lot Of oil and water. He
was dead when the rescuers arrived.
Several others taken aboard the
rescue vessel were unconscious and
failed to respond TO hours of artifi-
cial respiration. They were buried
ut sea.
Neil Lynch, second assistant en-
gtneer, Of Brooklyn walked aboard
the rescue ship but dropped dead q

heart attack.
Joseph Hayes, a Canadian living
In Boston, escaped serious injury
when he was blown 90 feet by q
torpedo which exploded directly be-
meath him. The man beside him
was killed, but Hayes came down In

shock.

lated. "The ships dropped depth
charges and 1t wasn't long before
wreckage and oil patches came to
the surface, 30 We knew we had
got It."
During the ships stay In Muir
mansk, the port was under attack
by dive bombers about every other
day, Haxton- said, but most of the
bombs fell into the water and little
damage was done.
"I saw four planes shot down one
night" he declared. II guess the
Russians got tired Of 1t for one day
they sent in . lot more fighter
planes and bomhers. The Russians

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-07

After all that's been said and done the State Highway Department has decided that it can guard all the important roads and bridges throughout the state. Of course that's one. way of keeping the de- partmental force intact through a period when there isn't going to be much road building. However, only 110 uniformed de- partment guards are now planned. With 10 bridges to be guarded this provides for ample protection A hours day. As time goes on and the war trend grows more furious it may be necessary, of course, to throw guard around more bridges, for obstuction of highway traffic today would be very serious.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-07

whose wrath is slowly but surely reach ing fever heat.
 While federal agencies concerned with building are inclined to push ahead as quickly as possible all projects de- signed to be rented to war workers, there is absolutely nothing doing in defense areas for any other type of home. And only such projects as are assured of be- ing serviced by necessary utilities get the go-ahead in the former classification. So in a number of instances you'll find little or nothing being done with regard to building, save in instances where act ual work was started before April of this year.
 Federal Housing Administration offi- cials at Hartford won't certify any more home construction permits in the local area or other defense areas the only ones in which such construction is allowed, because the quota has been exhausted presumably for the summer months. And when a new quota iS made available pre- sumably if there are large-scale projects they will get the call and the individual petitioner with his plans and his Specl1l- cations will be left.in the lurch.
 The line of protesting potential home owners, builders, and the like Is grow ing. Apparently the situation resolves it. self into period of Watchful waiting, but obviously the local housing situation can not wait on any such delay as this. These are trying times for every defense centre. They could be eased a bit by a clearer understanding of housing condl- tionS, such as the best general way ot solving difficulties rather than imposl- tion of hard and fast rule which aldS a handful, but not all.

Crop Threat

From New York state comes the plaint that, unless workers are found, record crop-$59 million worth of fruits and vegetables rot on the trees and ln the fields On the same day that brought the warning from federal agency, there arrived from the same agency under sep arate cover information that in New York City unemployment among needles trades workers is reaching abnormal propor- tions.
 The farmers need four thousand field hands between now and September. AL most 9O,0O0 garment workers are unem- ployed. The United States Employment Service, which reports both troubles, says there is no idea of feeding the farms from New York's needle workers. Conceding that relatively small proportion might make good field hands, certainly one out of 20 could help little.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-07
Waterbury's in Line

Proof that Waterbury was well in ad- vance of the times, strenuous as they are, is seen in the recent bulletin of the Con- necticut State Medical Society in which 1t calls attention to the need of care for the "war orphans" children whose parents are both employed at war work, This city will soon have a center where children may be left during the daytime while their parents are at work It will be lnaugurated more or less as an ex- pertinent, preSuming that federal funds are obtainable for such a purpose, but It begins to look as if it would be less experiment and more real necessity.
 Every city where defense manufactur- ing is rapidly reaching an unbelievable peak of operations has the problem of caring for children in households where both parents are employed. According to reports from some cities the means par ents have taken to solve this domestic problem is nothing less than downright hameful. Hence the desire of civil off lalS to assume some of the responsibility or care of these children, many of whom Ire of pre-School age and won't be bene- fitted by opening of schools in Septem- Der.
 The Medical Society bulletin said: "The' care of children who are temporarily or paaned during the hours in which both parents work in war industries must re- ceive geater attention Many Connecticut communities have recognized this prob- lem and are making plans to house chil- dren of working parents in child care centers operated by community health and welfare agencies with supervision by responsible persons -"
 The situation is about the same locally az any place where there is intensive de- fense manufacturing Whether one child center will prove sufficient or whether therell be cooperation from those par ents, for whom such plan is really godSend, remains to be seen. It has been stated semi officially that Waterbury is going to need more than one such center once the idea becomes familiar to parents and operation has been made financially possible. In that event far-reaching plans, many of them already considered, will be ready to be executed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-07

With three days made available for registration of car owners in Waterbury officials don't anticipate any difficulty in caring for the needs of the thousands of motorists who will be seeking ration ing cards. Special hours have been as- signed for the registration period, but up to this morning the list of official reg istration places had not been announced. If there is number of these it will be a simple matter to register the motorists; if there is the one registration place, the ration board office on West, Main Street, it will be more difficult. In addi- ton there isn't going to be much dilly- dallying in issuance of the ration cards. Everyone will get the same type of card, regardless of amount of driving to be done. If it doesn't provide you with suf- ficient fuel, you'll have to state your case personally before the ration board rep resentatives and if they approve you'll further allowances.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-07

The office of Defense Transportation is pleading with both employers and work CTS to plan vacations so as to place min imum of strain on overburdened rail- roads, particularly by avoiding weekend beginnings and endings. This would seem to be about as little as those who will take vacations can do to help relieve danger ous bottleneck. Yet there has appeared to be little repsonse to the suggestion. How about some cooperation?
