PREPARE PROGRAM FOR TEEN-ACERS'
Civilian War Board Sur= veys Possibilities of Su=
 perVised Recreation

Local Community clubs and city authorities will establish greater and more varied means of entertain ment for 'teen-agers," particularly girls, in an attempt to prevent any growth of child delinquency, it was decided at yesterdays meeting of the Civilian War Service board.
 Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick of the Di- ocesan bureau and chairman of the Children Youth and War Committee and Thomas Smith of the Wartime Recreation committee, outlined the need for greater facilities of this type being offered to the youths of Waterbury. The East End Commu- nifty club was cited as fine exam- pie of what can be done by way of this entertainment, such as dances, parties, theatricals, etc. Other com- munities already plan such moves.
 James E. Moran, chairman of the local war bond drive stated at yes- terday'S meeting that Clyde Jen- nings, chairman of the retailers di- vision during the recent Fourth War Loan Drive had received 8 letter from state bond headquarters com- plimenting the local group and cit- ing them as an exemplary associa- ton whose actions could well be followed by other communities in the state.
 Miss Marion Hunt of the Child Care center said that the Kings bury center now has an enrolment of 56, the highest yet, and within four of its maximum capacity. Chil- dren cared for are from two to 12 years. She said that because of the size of the enrolment it may be necessary soon to divide the chil- dren into two groups; one of chil- dren of pre-school age and the other of School-age children. She said a representative of the FILA will be here soon to inspect the buildings at the Warner Gardens and Hamilton Ave. housing projects which are intended to be used as child care centers. Although the buildings have been completed they are not qet equipped for child care centers.

COP FACTIONS
 IN COURT TILT
Judge MCEvOy Asked to Rule on Requirement of
 Primary Fee

As result of mandamus proceed ings instituted by the Republican Reorganization committee yesterday Judge Prank P. McEvoy was asked to rule in superior court this morn ing on the local Republican party's regulation that contestants in a primary here must deposit $15 for each district in which there is a contest.
 The proceedings were instituted by leaders of the Reorganization grboup because of Republican Town Chairman Vernon L. Halls refusal to accept a slate of delegates sub- mitted by the former on Thursday night, because the $15 fee was not submitted.
 Atty. J. Warren Upson represent ed MT. Hall in court this morning when the action got underway. The decision was expected to be forth coming sometime during the morn ing session because of the shortnesS of time as the primaries are to be conducted next Tuesday.
 Leaders of the Reorganization group have claimed that the local rule governing the filing of fees is illegal as there is no such similar rule to be found in state laws or state Republican regulations. Atty Upson and Hall have counter charged with the statements that such a ruling is strictly a local one" and that it was adopted by the local party some time ago.
 The mandamus proceedings were brought by Arthur E. Blewitt, chair man of the Reorganization commit tee and others such as Warren Hitchcock, James A. White, Andrew J. Cooney, as Republican electors.

State Education Commissioner AYonzo c. Grace was due to inspect sites in New Haven this past week on which the city hopes to build a trade school as a postwar project. The same idea is still being consid- cred here in Waterbury. This city has legislative approval to issue bonds in the amount of $l000O0 for a trade school. It also has legisla- tive approval of funds for mainten- ance and operation of such an in- stitution guaranteed until i045. But the Porter estate site is no more, for a federal housing project now dots that terrain. Fortunately, this pro- feet is a temporary unit and can be torn down after the war is over. II Mayor John s. Monagan gets a Housing Authority functioning this year no doubt one of its jobs will be to plan for removal of such projects in the postwar period.
