More Federal Funds
For Centers Sought
Child Care Committee to Request Board OF Education
to Make Application for Local Housing Projects

At it's August meeting yesterday
afternoon the Waterbury Child Care
Committee voted to request the
Board of Education to make formal
application for additional federal
funds, under the Lanham Act, to
operate the planned Child Care
Centers at the Long Hill and Ham
ilton avenue housing projects.
The committees request will be
presented at the next meeting of
the board scheduled for Monday,
August 30.
The numerous forms and requisi-
tons for such application have al
ready been prepared by Miss Marian
Hunt, chairman of the Child Care
Committee, City Control Cornelius
F. Maloney and Clarence G. Newell,
of the State Department of
Education, under whose auspices all
public child care centers are
operated in Connecticut. If ap-
proved by the school board next
week these will be submitted to the
regional Office of the Federal Works
Agency.
The application as presented at
yesterdays committee meeting held
at the Kingsbury Center, 80 Pros
pect street, calls for an expenditure
of $6091 at the Long Hill project
and $2,230 at Hamilton avenue or
total of $500, of which the city's
share would be $4,160. The Long
Hill project requisition covers the
months of October, November and
December, while that for Hamil-
ton avenue only covers the months
of November and December.
Need for such centers is based on
a survey conducted at them early
in the spring by thirty social agency
workers. At the time this was made
it was determined that there were
approximately 95 children in the
Long Hill area whose parents
would seek the services of the Gen.
ter in providing day care for them.
There were 70 in a similar category
at Hamilton avenue.
The capacity of the Child Care
Centers now being built at both
Long Hill and Hamilton avenue as
part of the federal housing projects
will be 60 Ind so, respectively. A
separate Child Care Center is 'un-

Six Guards

The Navy today arrested six more
Brewster Aeronautical Corporation
guards as local Union President
Thomas DeLorenzo and other union
officials left Philadelphia to ask
Brewster's Long Island City and
Newark, N. j., plants to join the
walkout that has halted production
at townsville since Monday.
The Navy said the guards would
be held with four others whose ar
rest precipitated the strike after
they refused to work unless permit
ted to choose their hours on SEN
GRITTY basis as permitted by the
union. Recently sworn into the
Coast Guard temporary reserve,
the men retained their union status.
Despite a War Labor Board tele-
gram characterizing the strike as
"a threat to the nation at war;,
De Lorenzo said he had no alter
native" but to recommend that the
other Brewster workers join the
strike as voted at mass meeting
of workers yesterday.
The Navy said charges against
the six guards arrested today would
be announced later. They were
taken to the Philadelphia Navy
Yard receiving station.
Real issue of the strike of more
than 5000 workers involves the
Navy Department, De Lorenzo said.
"They want complete jurisdiction
over all plant guards throughout
the country and want to get them
away from union CONTROL he
charged. 1.-The Navy is using the
Brewster case as a guinea pig
Backed by the board powers dele
gated last week by President Roose-
welt, the WLB last night ordered
the strikers, members of the United
Automobile Workers (CIO), to ere
turn to work Internationally at
once"
Declaring he was merely follow
ing union orders" in recommending
that the Long Island City and New
ark plants join the strike, De Lo-
reno said there is no way to get

for further vote until tomorrow
morning, the time of the next meet
ing. Some of them live as far as rs
miles from the plant"

East Gasoline Stocks
None Too Favorable
Connecticut Motor Club Appeals to State Car Owners
to Drop Non-Essential Driving Until Ban Is Lifted

New Haven, Aug. ga strong ap-
peal to state motorists today by
President Harry B. Kennedy of the
Connecticut Motor club urging
wholehearted cooperation in elm
mating non-essential driving until
the pleasure ban is officiallsy lift
ed.
Motorists have been promised
that the ban will be lifted on Sep
TENDER / and that restoration of
coupon values to a level with other
sections of the country will follow
shortly thereafter" Mr.. Kennedy
said. However, the date when
relief can be given to motorists
in the eastern restricted area is de-
pendent upon the extent to which
they cooperate during the days inn
mediately ahead.
1.-THE truth Of the matter is that
gasoline stocks in the East are in
none too favorable position. There
are local shortage situations that
must be cleared up and there must
be a general overall improvement
in gasoline stocks to assure ade-
quate supplies for the armed forces
before officials can afford to ease
up on restrictions.
Everyone would like to see the
ban removed, but In practice the
ban has saved gasoline where other
measures have not, and as mat
tel of cold realism, 1t must be main
tanned until our stock position is at
a place where easing of restrictions
becomes practicable. The prompt
ness with which the ban can be
lifted and coupon values restorted
depends to a large extent upon the
rate of consumption during the days

inquiry Appeal Renewed
The Connecticut Motor Club,

Last May the Connecticut club,
through acting Secretary Ton. Pen
dleton, joined with other AAA groups
in urging the appointment of a

at Hamilton avenue the Center will
be wing of the Community Build
ing. These Centers are being fully
quipped by the federal government
and in addition tn FWA has assign
ed to the Waterbury area Mrs. Lor-
eta Flaherty as tenant selection
and project adviser. IIl this capacity
she will aid the Child Care Com
mittee in it, work at both federal
projects, which must be stated by
the city, as well as necessary pro-
visions bought.
The decision to include Child Care
Centers at the local housing projects
was based on the survey conducted
here this spring by the social agen-
cies. 1t is expected that the FWA
will facilitate the securing of Lam
ham Act funds should the Water
bury application be approved by the
School Board ard forwarded to the
regional office.
The city's first application for
Lanham Act funds was filed more
than a year ago, but action on it
was not forthcoming until early this
year when City Controller Maloney
was advised that it had been ap-
proved. The establishment of the
center at the Kingsbury House on
Prospect street quickly followed and
this was opened on August 2. It's
present enrolment is 10, which fig
ure has remained stationary for the
past two weeks due to request
from City Healtl. Officer DR.. Ed
ward ]. Godfrey that no more child
rem be admitted until the infantile
paralysis epidemic has subsidized. A
great many applications for admis-
sion have accumulated in the mean
time and Miss Pauline M. Moor re-
ported at yesterdays meeting that
there are approximately 20 on the
waiting list at the moment. The
center's capacity is 60.

relating to military secrecy, would
be made public.
Toward the close of July, Chester
Bowles and other OPA spokesman
stated definitely on change would
be made in the rationing program
until after the Byrnes report had
been issued. Despite the pledges,
the AAA claims, the new rationing
program was announced without
warning and without the By-res
report being made public.

OPA and PAW did little, If any
thing, toward clearing up the gen.
eral public confusion and skepti-

for a fact-finding probe, both to
learn what happened to the Byrnes
report and what the overall pic
ture of gasoline is and is likely to
be in the East.

u. S. Agencies Urge Heat Sealing
Houses Now; FILA Will Help

This Is the first Of six articles
especially prepared for NEA
Service by fuel conservation ex-
perts.
Alert kouseholders all over the
country are or should be - get
ting set for the third wartime win
ter.
That is your cue to waste no
time getting into the ready-for-
frost bracket If you are not al
ready there. Fuel shortages are
expected in many parts of the coun-
try. Twenty-four million Americans
live in single, detached homes; and
it Is first come, first served with
the materials and manpower avail
able for putting your house in con-
dition to hold inside, for all use,
every possible unit of heat that your
fuel produces.
Uncle Sam is geared to help you.
The Federal Housing Authority will
insure loans for some kinds of win
terproofing work, up to $500, with
three years to pay. Adequate mater
ias, though not always the ideal
ones, are still available in most To-
calities. and they can be purchased
without points or permits.
ORDER FUEL NOW
Every householder should start at
once to get thre things accomplish
ed:
First, of course, order your fuel
now in order to be reasonably as
sured of delivery. This will cut the
strain which last-minute orders by
thoughtless persons puts on war
burdened transport facilities.
Second, heat-seal your home.
Government authorities ask every
householder to do this in order to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-08-25

make every lump of coal, gallon of
oil, unit of heating gas, every log, do
maximum work when 1t is used.
Heat goes up as freely as water
flows downward, but you can stop
it. The attic floor or roof should be
heat-sealed. Likewise, the ceilings of
heated Easements or cellars, parts
of the heating equipment itself,
walls shutting off unused or rarely
used parts of the house. Every home
in the cold weather areas should be
equipped with storm doors, storm
windows and winter vestibules
Through glass window panes, you
can lose as much as SO per cent of
the heat produced by your fuel. All
windows and doors should be wea-
ther-stripped, and all cracks calked.
Third, overhaul your furnace to
insure maximum burning efficiency.
Younr equipment should be prop
erly insulated, all internal passages
cleaned, and damaged parts re-
placed.
LOANS AVAILABLE
FILA loans can be had without
security, endorsers, or co-makers,
Those who want them should apply
to their local banks or other lend
ing institutions. If the bank ap-
proves FILA will guarantee the loan.
These loans may be used for re-
pairs or construction work-not for
furnace cleaning, but for furnace
improvements.
One nice bit of lagniappe comes
with cooperating in this three
point heat conservation scheme.
The same technique and materials
you apply to keep your heat in your
house this winter also will serve to
KEEP heat, dust, and SCOT out when
hot weather comes again.
