than $500 war workers employed at
at the factory, who now run risks
while trying TO get TO and back
from work midst the heavy vehicu-
lar trafflc.
The two bridges that span the
brook are narrower than the high
way. Although new bridges are
necessary, the shortage Of materials
have automatically postponed for
the duration.
The board will discuss the recon-
mended layout and grade for Moran

streets on May 4, 1t was announced
last night. The bureau of engineer
ing designed the plans for i'm

Mr.. Root revealed to the Board
that the War Production Board has
permitted the city to use materials
necessary to construct the line
which will tie the Waterville resi-
dental district to O high level ser.
vice and provide adequate pressure
ut all times.
II contractors can be secured, the
project will 60 ahead. Engineer

public works builders have re-
farined from submitting bids because
Of the great shortage Of labor.
Paramount residents have voiced
their complaints against the low
water pressure in their homes be-
fore the board for the past many
years. Mr.. Root reported that the
l0-inch main service will obliterate
the dfiiciency.

passage Of this bill, Just because
they are not voters Of the state.
Licenses would be restored to such
permittees.

their cases they must become voters

RehabiHtating Mental Altitude
.Of Soldiers Aim of Neu Project
BY Betty Smith.

Back in the early days of the war
it wasn't much of problem TO do
something for the men who were
going overseas to fight for us. We
could give them parties, dances and
suppers and picnics-with pretty
girls and good music and food, and
we could send them off with a smile
They were young and healthy and
fit and they were rarin' to 60.
1t still is important to give these
boys every bit of fun that we can.
We must continue to keep up morale
and we must hold fast to the good
and normal things of life
But equally important as we 60
into our third year of war is our
duty toward the men who now are
returning to us. Many Of those same
young men who so gayly went forth
to battle-many of whom are now
coming back older and wiser-are in
desperate need of mental rehabili-
tation as we'll as physical mending
of they are to be happy and useful
citizens in better postwar world.
With this problem in mind and
predicated on the idea that men who
are being brought back to health
need occupation, the Red Cross has
formed what is known as the Arts
and Skills in many of the hospitals
where war casualties are being
cared for. At the request Of Mrs.
Dwight Davis, national chairman of
Volunteer Special Services of the
Red Cross. Mrs. Dorothy Liebes was
chosen to head this service.
From the beginning of the war
skilled artists in every field of art
have volunteered their time and tall
ents for any use in the war effort
which it was felt could be most
beneficial. Now at last these splen-
did talents can be utilized and in
way that is doing practical and
constructive good.
AS designer and weaver of great
ability, Mrs. Liebes has worked
closely with artists all over the

MISS BooSe was graduated from
the University of Maryland with
the class of 194l and was secre-

country. When she was director of
the San Francisco Golden Gate EX-
hibition in 1889 and 1910 she visited
II countries and every state in the
Union collecting material-getting
to see and know the artists and their
works. She gives at least six or
eight exhibits OF her own beautiful
, textiles in museums over the coun-
try during each year. She has
worked in hospitals too-from Homo

reational work and she knows her
art, and her selection as volunteer

have been better one.
This, she told us, is how the prof.

each community where meetings are
held to decide policy, etc, and where
teams of the artists who volunteer
are formed. Eight to each team.
This gives considerable manpower as
you can imagine. Then each mu-
scum acts as a sort of pace-setter
and standard-Setter for its own COM
