IN CITIES AND SUBURBS, SMALL FLocKS
WILL ADD IMPORTANTLY TO FOOD SUPPLY

Prepared FOR NEA Service by the
Department % Agriculture,
Bureau Of Animal Industry
Keeping poultry In city backyards
or suburban areas, where local reg
ulationS permit, offers many fam
lies VINO depend entirely on COM
nercial markets for their poultry
and eggs an opportunity to produce
part Of their food at home and thus
make an important contribution 10
the national food program.
Secretary Of Agriculture Claude
r. Wickard, national food admin
istratOr. In calling for increased
food production TO meet wartime
needs, said:
IT urge everyone who can, 10
raise poultry this year, both for the
eggs and the meat"
In planning for back yard poul-
try. the first thing, Of course, Is TO
get dependable information from
local authorities on the regulations
or coming ordinances covering the
raising Of poultry IN your commu-
nifty. Where the project Is per.
INVISIBLE, the next step is TO decide
what type Of poultry to keep. Nearly
everybody win want cllickens-with
visions Of fTyers, brollers, and fresh
laid eggs. Ducks also are suitable
for some localities, but II numerous
they make considerable noise.
10 CHICKS PER PERSON
The selection Of stock for q flock
Of chickens usually Is determined
on the basis Of local conditions
and personal preference. You may
buy mature pullets, laying hens,
day-old chicks, or so-called started
chicks" which are from 3 to 4 weeks
old. You also may specify pullet
chicks, cockerels, or straight-run
chicks. When meat only Is desired,
there Is q slight price advantage In
buying cockerel chicks Of certain
breeds.
When the flock Is to be raised
as the principal source Of the fam.
ily's supply Of eggs and poultry
meat, the U. 8. Department Of
Agriculture recommends the pur-
chase Of 10 young chicks for each
member Of the family. For in.
stance, q family OF five would start
with 80 chicks and could expect TO
raise about 20 Of them. Losses vary
considerably according to the care
given the birds, especially In brood
ing, and the control Of rats and
other hazards. .
OF the 40 chicks raised, about 20

PARKING RECEIPTS
ON DECLINE HERE
Severe Winter Weather,
RatiOning Restrictions
Believed Responsible

A combination Of tire and gas ra-
tioning and an unusually severe
winter have reduced the city's
parking meter receipts approx
mately $1,000 for the first two
months Of the year as compared
with those Of a similar period last
year, according to Budget Director
T. E. Olsen. January revenue was
$1.o94.71 as compared with $3,O85.72
collected In January 1912. Receipts
in February were $l561.22 compared
with the 1912 February collection
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-03-12

Of $2,845.O5. The meters. now own
ed by the city, were expected t.
produce revenue Of about $4,000 q
year.
Restricted use Of cars, however.
led the board Of finance to revise
its estimate this year to 10000. Un-
less revenue shows an increase dur.
ing the spring and summer. the to-
tai receipts may even fall below
this figure, the budget director be-
lieyes.

FUEL THIEVES

Chimneys and windows are among
the seldom noticed thieves" that
steal heating value from the fuel
burned. Regulators in chimneys
will prevent the draft from being
too strong, which leads to excess
fuel consumption, or too weak
which results IN incomplete CON-
bustion. Pulling down shades cuts
the important heat loss through
window panes by 40 per cent OF
more.

average price.

DELINQUENT TAX
DRIVE PLANNED
OId-Aage Assessments and
War Taxes Discussed at
Mayors Conference

At a meeting Of city officials In
the mayors ONCE yesterday after
noon plans were made to inaugurate
a concerted drive for the collection
Of delinquent water taxes and old
age fees.
It has been estimated by local tax
officials that some $4,000 Is owed
the city on delinquent water taxes
and yesterdays special meeting re-
suited in the decision to Immediately
forward notices to the individual Of
tenders. Further plans pertinent to
this matter call for the serving Of
warrants by the city sheriff upon
all those failing to respond to the
formal notices.
Attending yesterdays meeting
which was presided over by the
mayor, were City Corporation Coun-
sci Maurice T. Healey, City Sheriff
Clayton Briotti, budget director
Thorvald Olsen, Tax Collector Hum
bert Mangini, and John Kelley of
the water department representing
Supt. Scott-Smith.
Similar plans were laid down for
an intensive drive to collect delin-
quent old-age tax fees due the city
for long time now. The same pro-
cedure will be followed with the city
sheriff resorting to legal prosecu-
ton methods if necessary.
Taxes of this nature have been
outstanding on the city books for
some time now and although pre-
vious efforts to collect them have
proven, in the majority, to be fruit
less, the current plan is expected to
bring the desired results.

|CANTNELL HELD
| FOR TRIAL HERE
Naugatuck Man Accused
of EmbIezzIing income
Tax Payments

James E. Cantwell, SO, 1856 Fair
view avenue, Naugatuck, who identi-
fed himself as tax consultant and
at one time maintained small Office
on Leavenworth street, was arrested
last night by Detective Lieut.. Joseph
r. Bender on a charge of embazzle-
ment involving approximately $500
in money allegedly given to him for
the payment of income taxes last
March.
Lieut.. Bender, who began an in
vestigation early this week, said a
number of Waterbury residents told
him they had given Cantweu pay
ments for their March tax to be
forwarded to the internal revenue
Office.
When the taxpayers forwarded
June and September payments to the
government, they were notified that
their March income tax payments
had not been received.
Gabriel Price, division chief Of the
revenue Office here indicated that
victims would still be held response
BILE for non payment of their March
installments, and would probably
have to pay a penalty Of five per
cent a month.
Cantwell was held under $500
bonds for a hearing in city court.
