work. sunshine, mental and physical
activities and medical attention.
Also, the cause of this trouble is
often in the ways of life that tax
his endurance too heavily and he
escapes from them through alcohol"
Mr. Huff said Others use mar
cotics, some become insane and find
other means of relief"
In this regard he strongly advo-
Gated the services offered by mem
bers of Alcoholics Anonymous, an
organization of those alcoholics who
have been rehabilitated and who un-
dertake to give understanding coun-
sci and friendship to addicts of
drink.
Better Care for Children.
In pouring some cold water on
the suggestions of the Federation of
Churches, as to other needs which
conceivably might take precedence
over the proposals for an inebriate
farm and voluntary commitment"
Welfare Director Huff said:
Some of these other needs are
found in our care Of children. There
is now no adequate agency or in
stitutional care of children. Our
prevention service is less than the
known need to care for children in
their homes where money assistance
may not be needed.
Our foster homes are on the
whole unsatisfactory and our serv-
ices to the children and families are
less effective than we should pro-
vide.
Our institutions face complete
new building, program and staff
DEVELOPMENT before they can do the
job of conserving these human val
ues where they can be conserved
with much greater promise than
can alcoholics be rehabilitated
"A glance at the maps developed
by the Council of Social Agencies
now and 10 years ago show the CEN
tering concentration of poverty, i'll
health and delinquency in the same
areas. The reasons are known, the
solution is difficult, expensive and
as a practical matter is in COM
petition with any other new pro-
grams we undertake.
"Other needs would include the
building and personnel needed to
overtake waiting list of more than
500 (known) for the School for the
Feeble minded, the demands for
care for the INDECENT, tuberculosis,
venereal, psychopathic alcoholic and
the defective delinquent and others,
for which there is need for tax
available facilities. The prudent
programs for education and preven-
ton can be defined with promise
and need only money. personnel and
time to show good returns in COM
munity peace, health and morality
Seen as Trouble Symptom.
In his long discussion of the prob
lens of the alcoholic Mr.. Huff said
"One person can become intoxicated
on one bottle; others have high
intoxication point" He added: 1T
is prudent to observers that it (al-
coholism) is not infectious or con-
tagious as is tuberculosis, venereal
disease, mumps, etc The damage
to the public does not come from an
epidemic of alcoholism, in the med
ical sense. Alcoholism is individual
in its primary effect.
There is some doubt that it is a
cause, and there is reason to be-
lieve it is a symptom of trouble
rather than trouble itself There
are, however, definite damages it
does to the physical and mental per-
son who uses it. This may be true
in some degree likewise of heavy
eating"

AS result of their recent member
ship campaign the East End Com
munity Club now has total en-
rollment of 1893 members it was
announced by Mrs. Edward Leon
ard, club financial secretary last
Tuesday evening.
The meeting which was held at
Anderson school was presided over
by Maurice Donovan in the absence
Of Dennis Mccarthy, president. A
resolution, favorably voted upon at
the meeting, called for the petition
ing of the Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Company to have their
New Haven BUSES which run ex-
press to Reidville make their first
stop at Oak. Tree avenue in the
future. This latter stop which is in
Reidville would do away with the
many inconvenience being en-
countered by women war workers of
the community, especially those on
the to II shift who under pres
ent conditions must get of the bus
some 100 yards or more beyond the
Oak Tree avenue stop.

EXPENSIVE ACT
OF VANDALISM
City Must Employ Steeple=
jack to Replace Rope on
Flag=POle

Stating that persons who cut the
rope on the 1876 foot flag-pole on
the Green. last nihgt were "unpa-
triotic and guilty of an un-Amer-
lean act" Supt. Of Parks James J.
Curtin today declared that if the
guilty party is found punishment
will follow.
1t is believed that the act might
have been committed by an enthu-
siastic football fan, thoughtlessly
celebrating or bemoaning yester-
days high school game result. AS
result of the vandalism it will be
necessary for the park officials to
hire steeple-jack to climb the
pole and insert new rope. Mr..
Curtin pointed out the fact that in
this day of a manpower shortage
this will be a difficult matter.
During these times, more than
ever before" Mr.. Curtin stated,
"the American flag should be kept
flying over the center of the city.
BY this act the perpetrators GER
tainly did not consider the respect
due to their fellow Waterburians
now in the service
The rope was not only cut, the
park official stated, but pulled
down so that it was entirely remov-
ed from the top pulley of the pole.
