ARMY OF YOUTHS
 DIG FOR VICTORY
Boys Club Throughout Na-
 ton Sending Members to Work on Farms

Because the job of food produc- tion is no less important to victory than piloting an airplane, driving jeep, or firing big guns, thousands of Boys Club boys, 10 to l8 years old products of city tenements, are learning this summer how tn other half lives as they "dig for victory" in the Boys Clubs of America na- tion-wide Farm Labor and Food Production program. Planting Vic- tory Gardens, signing up for day la- bor on outlying farms, these boys are discovering the green pastures and woodland streams of the coun- try-a far cry from the cement ra- vines and brick mountains of the congested city areas where most of the nations 240 Boys Clubs are To- cated
 Copying London's example of planting Victory Gardens in bomb craters and raising chickens in the heart of the city's most fashionable center imaginative Boys Club members have started Victory Gar dens and Victory Barnyards in many unorthodox spots. One group of city boys planted a garden atop the roof of their club, while others use window sills to plant vegetables. Rabbit hutches and chicken yards have sprung up in basements and court yards.
 Boys Club leaders are finding that the farm labor project Is as good for the boy as 1t is for food production. After a summer work ing in the open. boys are healthier and more conscientious.
 Boys Clubs of America nas more than a quarter of a million boy members of Clubs throughout the country. Many of the meals the boys will enjoy during the coming winter will be products of their own work.
 David w. Armstrong, Executive Director of Boys Clubs of America, inaugurated this program. Herbert Hoover is chairman of the National Board of Directors

 There will be a meeting of the Plaque committee, Washington Park Community Club, Martin J. Tehan, chairman, at Washington Park Community House, this evening at 8 o'clock.
 It was noted with regret, that the collection of tin, from this section of the city was below expectations. This can be credited to the fact, that people forgot that Saturday was the first of the month as well as the first Saturday, which is the day set aside for these collections of tin.
 We hope this part of Waterbury will put their shoulders to the wheel and get their cans ready before the next collection in August and in- crease the amount so as to help those in charge to forget the low figure of July.
 One of the residents of the Hill tells that her tin cans were not picked up although they were put out before o'clock in the morning and were there on the sidewalk all daV

NEW CHILD CENTER
 MAY OPEN MONDAY
City Officials Obtain Ne. CeSsary Materials to
 Erect Fence

The official opening of the child care center at the Long Hill hous- ing project which has been delayed because of the lack of a protective fence for guarding the children, will probably take place Monday July 10, 1t was stated today.
 Since the controversy first arose as to which federal agency, the FILA or FHPA, should erect the fence the biggest problem had been to obtain pickets for such a fence or anyone to build. Today it was understood that City Controller Neil F. Maloney, secretary of the local housing project and City Purchasing Director Henry Bowling have been successful in obtaining a sufficient amount of pickets to construct such fence.
 Post holes and supports are al- ready installed preparatory to the attachment of the pickets. The latter will be done under the super vision of the project manager, Charles Palomba.

Area Manpower Director Mary M. Dewey said more than 1000 employ CTS in the "locally-needed" and Hess essential" classifications have re- turned questionnaires with the tab ulation showing a total employment of about 15,000, as of last February 1, the ceiling level date. Additional answers are still awaited and a slight change is expected in the figure when the final returns are in.
 Employment in factories and other establishments in the priority rated" category, as previously dis closed through the hiring controls program, stands at 46,000. This rep resents the "essentiar' and critical workers of the area.
 The areas working population has been widely estimated for some time, but no close figure was ever before available since no single agency ever before had occasion to compile the total. The WING sur- way figure had been awaited with great interest here.
 The information submitted by employers has been set up in sep- arate working files by the WING, which will use it in connection with the hiring controls program and "back-to-ceiling" activity.
 Further compilation work on the questionnaire is expected to give a breakdown on the number of men and women employed here.
 Part-time employment, as dis closed by the survey, stands at about 800, 1t was reported, but the figure is said to vary greatly from time to time.
 The factory and essential" em-, ployMent figure for the area has freuuently been estimated to total 50,0O0, but it was indicated the 46,- 900 actual count now is somewhat lower than it was in previous months. The "back-to-ceiling pro- gram is believed to have been re- sponsible to some extent for the cut. but no analysis of the movement has been made public.
 The ceiling questionnaires were sent by the WING to all employers when efforts were made to secure voluntary compliance to February ceiling levels. The figures will be used by the WING in deteIIop, where placements of new applicants may be permitted.
 The Waterbury area includes Middlebury, Naugatuck, Watertown, Oakville, Thomaston. Wolcott, Pros- pect. Cheshire, Bristol, Bethlehem, and Plymouth, as well as this city.
