COUPONS"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-09-30

Claims are made in the motion,
drawn up by three lawyers for the
heirs, that the City Of waterbury
has no legal interest in the estate
but occupies merely the position
Of one who might possibly become
interested in the event the doctrine
OF approximation we're to be APP
Piled" 1t adds further that the city
Is merely one Of an underlined class
which might ultimately receive prop
erty from the estate under the
doctrine of approximation but that
1t has no present interest emitting
It to appeal.
In regard to the bank, the mo-
ton states 1t received as trustee OF
the estate the precise relief 1t asked
for when 1t sought Interpretation Of
the will, that 1t was in the position
merely Of stakeholder and could
not be aggrieved by the Judgment
rendered. It adds that all Of the
parties interested In construction OF
the will were represented by counsel
and were fully heard in the trial
court so that the Waterbury Trust
Company has no fiduciary duty
which would give 1t legal right to
appeal.
The motion was drawn up by the
Arm of Bronson, Rice and Lyman
OF New Hav,l \, which represents
Bertha Comstock and Elizabeth
Abel, Attorney John M, Comley
who IL counsel for Lillian w. Porter
individually. and as administrative
Of the estate of the late Thomas
w. Porter and Katherine Miller and
Attorney John D. Thoms, who rep
resents the incorporating heirs,
Helen, Lucy, and Grace Porter, and
Nathan Porter, Jr., both individual
~ and as executor of the estate Of
Hiland and Louis Porter.
Corporation Counsel Maurice T.
Healey will represent the city at the
special hearing next week, while
Attorney Walter Torrance will ap-
pear for the Waterbury Trust Com
pany. Oral arguments will be pre-
sented. The appeal evidence has not
yet been printed and the case has
not been entered on the court docket,
with several months expected to 60
BY before an assignment for final
hearing could be made. In the event
the new claims of the heirs are ap-
proved the case would be removed
from the court and the appeal dis
missed.
Indication that the city will con-
tinue its efforts to obtain the Porter
funds. totaling more than 5000 900
for tile trade school project, was
given when the corporation counsel
stated the claims Of the heirs will
be contested. Recent decision of the
government to condemn the Porter
land on Meriden road, for q war
housing project created speculation
as to whether or not the city will
continue with the case.
Observers point out that the
housing project will be removed
after the war, and the land will
then be free again for whatever use
the courts allow. II the supreme
court should reverse the decision OF
Superior Court Judge Frank p.
McEvoy and allow the city use Of
the funds, the project would be
held up anyway until after the war
because OF priority considerations on
materials, 1t has been pointed out
and the housing project would not
interfere with the plans. The will,
however, did not require that the
Porter land be used for the school
proposed by the late educator, but
suggested that 1t might be an APP
propriate site,

SUGGEST CHANGES
in VOTING PLACES
Aldermen to Give COnsld-
GRAFTON TO Suggestions at
Mondays Meeting

It Is expected that approval OF
voting places for the coming elec-
ton viii be made ct the meeting
Of the Board Of Alderman TO be
held next Monday night. A CONF
mite made up Of Alderman Sui
ivan, Tehan ana Abercrombie Is
now canvasSing the various districts
and II Is expected that various
changes will be made
Il has been definitely stated that
changes have been planned for two
districts. one In District lee, where
voting was formerly done on Wood
tick road will now be located on
Atwood avenue. The reason given
is that the former place was lo-
Gated almost into the Wolcott dis.
trict and this latter change will
make It more centralized. The re-
cent Democratic primary voting was
held on Atwood avenue.
Another change contemplated Is
In District 3-2 where voting has ale
ways been held In an empty store
on the corner Of Cooley and Rob-
bins streets but this site, formerly
an empty store, Is now being used
as q dwelling place. Two substi-
tutes are now under consideration;
one an empty store on WATERFOWL
avenue, used in the last primary,
and q store on the corner Of Grand
view avenue and Robbins street.
District 5-5 is also under contenl-
plated change.
AS most Of the other voting places
are located in schools or firehouses
no change Is expected. This will
hold true, 1t Is believed in such
districts as 2-l where voting Is done
in Temple Hall, District 81 empty
store on willow street, District Al
Franco American Hall and District
4-3 where such activity took place
In O'Donnell hall.

WOMEN AT HOME
CAN HELP

The Food Distribution Admins
tration, OPA and War Production
Board are striving to get some form
Of in-plant feeding for nearly every
one Of the war workers In the
United States. Although most indus
tries are eager to cooperate, there
are still about 100000 workers for
whom no feeding provisions have
been made.
The wives and mothers Of war
workers are needed, too, to put over
the campaign for industrial feeding
and nutrition education. They can
urge the men and women workers
Of their families to take advantage
of in-plant feeding and to encour-
age plants to establish some type Of
food service where it does not al
ready exist. The women at home can
help improve the health Of their
families by studying the nutritional
mtaerial and menu and cooking
guides supplied by many industrial
food committees.
But they have another very prac-
teal job-that Of getting up early
enough In the morning to provide a
hot and INTENTIONALLY adequate
breakfast for their workers.

need for better nutrition.
Breakfast, whether at four In the
morning or at more normal hour,
should supply third Of the days
total nutritional requirements. But
Government and industrial surveys
reveal that women eat far less
breakfast than men and that though
men generally eat enough volume,
they do not eat q INTENTIONALLY ade-
quate breakfast.
Several big plants now provide
breakfasts for employees who come
such great distances that they have
time only to grab q doughnut and q
cup Of coffee before setting out. For
example, at the Signal Corps Depot
in Philadelphia, the management
supplies not only o nutritious break
fast, but also the two other meals
for each Of the three shifts.
BETTER FOOD EQUALS
MORE WORK
Women who stay home TO feed
men who build tanks and planes, or
OF feed youngsters who go to school,
can learn what part modern nutri-
ton plays in war and home front
morale from the work Of industrial
food committees. In one midwest.
ern plant, absenteeism was cut 10
per cent when lunches containing
the basic seven foods were introduce
ed. Production increased in one Cal.
ifornia airplane factory when It's
$4,000 workers were served by eight
outdoor eating canteens so arrang-
ed that the men and women did not
have to go more than @ few steps
for their food. Improvement took
place In another airplane plant
when mobile canteens with milk,
hot soup, substantial sandwiches,
fruit Juice and well-made cake
moved throughout the plant during
all shifts. When the Flour Corpor-
alton in California began serving
workers on the midshift q special
snack consisting Of two cookies
made with extra vitamins and six
ounces Of vitamin enriched lemon
ade, absenteeism dropped from 5.44
per cent to 1885 per cent.
The Lockheed plant in California
made a survey Of the effects Of diet
on production. They found that so
per cent did not eat enough vitamin
A foods (the vitamin that helps
the eyes seeing we'll and that 30 per
cent didn't get enough vitamin, 81
foods (the morale vitamin). The
American Telephone and Telegraph
Co. reports a relationship between
the total Of wrong numbers given
by operators and poor diet. The
Bureau Of Labor Statistics, sum.
marizing the experience Of manage
ment in 200 outstanding war plants,
says that with plant after plant
ranking dietary troubles high on
their illness and absenteeism lists,
and with the findings by the Ma
tional Research Council that II per
cent Of workers families have poor
or only fair diets, the close relation
ship between nutrition and produce
tivity needs no argument.
