Parents Workshop
At Danbury, May 10
All Interested in Child Welfare Eligible to Enroll for
Sessions at State Teachers College

Plans for the Conference and
Workshop for Parents at Danbury
State Teachers College May 1922
are now completed. The program
has been arranged to allow not only
for addresses by outstanding auth
critics in Child Development and
Family Relationships but also for
the continuation of these discussions
in small groups under the leadership
of expert personnel. Because this
continuity is so necessary for the
solution of the questions that may
be presented. it is hoped there will
be a large number OF parents and
others interested in child welfare
who will enroll for the entire con-
ference. Registration blanks may be
secured by writing or telephoning
the Teachers College.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-05-03

The all-wing idea is ALMOST as old
as aviation and recently British
designers, according to Mr.. Smith,
have built stable and maneuverable
models of this ideal airplane design
for the conventional power plant.
So don't be surprised If, in days
to come, you go soaring of to the
Orient in a big transport, shaped
like q cross between bat and
boomerang, that travels as fast as
the sound Of its whining gas noz-
zels. It seems to be in the cards,
now that the plane designers have
caught up with Hero's aeolipile.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-05-03

This aeoEplle, as Hero calleo IL,
was the first steam engine on rec
ord. Mankind has been doing
tricks with steam ever since, but
the jet propulsion idea has been
slow in getting started. Finally,
though, it seems on it's way toward
revolutionizing airplanep erform-
ance and design. In fact, in 10
years or so, today's Flying Fortresses
may look as quaint as the biplane
Jenny of World War I.
REVOLUTIONIZE AVIATION
That at least is the opinion of
G. Godfrey Smith, Member of the
Order of the British empire, man
aging editor of couple Of English
aviation publications, and probably
the worlds prime authority on jet
propulsion. He has written a
booklet called Gas Turbines and
Jet Propulsion for Aircraft" pub
hshed in this country by Aero
sphere, Inc) which tells about all
that now can be told on the sub
ject.
Among other things, of course, he
tells what makes a jet-propelled air
plane go. Pared down to the bare
bones of simplicity, the system is
this: Air is drawn in and compress
ed in a chamber where heat Is add
ed by the combustion of fuel. In its
effort to escape, part Of the energy
Is used to drive the compressor.
Then, capable of further expansion,
the air is discharged into the atmo-
sphere through one or more nozzles.
The airplane moves for the famil-
lar reason that there is, for every
action, an equal and opposite reac-
ton. (Sir Isaac Newton not only
enunciated that law but, in 1880
put it into effect with a steam
powered jet-propelled horseless car
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-05-03

rage - which apparently didn't
work very well0
And how is Jet propulsion going
tot revolutionize aviation? Here are
some of Mr.. Smiths reasons: Such
a plane can fly higher and faster;
absence of a heavy engine means
more horsepower to the pound; alb
sence of a propeller means no OBJ
struction to pilots vision or forward
mounted gun. It also means that
planes can be built low, eliminat-
ing heavy undercarriages.
More reasons are these: The jet
propelled plane can use cheap par
ATTN, diesel or tar oil, or kerosene;
it has proved easier to handle, with
less work for the pilot to do and
fewer instruments to watch; its di-
rect-power production cuts down
costs, weight, mechanical complica-
tons and maintenance difficulties;
its efficiency increases with speed
and altitude.
FIRST MAY BE
FLYING WING"
The French first tested jet-pro-
PEELED aircraft IS years ago. Since
then many other nations have ex-
perimented, with results that are
not fully known. We know, Of
course, that American and British
jet-propelled planes have been
tested and are in production. We
know that patents have been as
signed to Heinkel and Junkers in
Germany.
The secrecy surrounding develop
ments is understandable. For the
first country to put into combat
climbing jet-propelled war
plane, capable perhaps Of super
sonic speed (above $50 m.p.h.) will
have a tremendous military and
psychological advantage.
Perhaps the first pet-propelled
war plane will be flying wing"

Heart ActIritIes

Heart Activities
The human heart weighs about
three-fourths of pound and is
made up largely of muscle. 1t beats
about 100000 times a day and can
not stop to take any rest. Even
when a person is quiet, the total
blood of the body passes through
the heart more than 40 times per
hour. With exercise this rate is
greatly increased. With various
diseases of the heart affecting the
valves. the muscles, or the great
vessels, its ability to do work is
lessened.
Five General Types
The five general types of heart
disease are classified as follows:
/. COngenitalEThe congenital type
yields but little to treatment be-
cause the person was born with
an organ incapable of performing
the normal work required of 1t.
However, persons born with this
handicap can live long and use
ful lives if they are careful and
adjust themselves to their physi-
cal limitations.
2. ThyrOid-The thyroid type of
heart disease usually develops
slowly and offers much greater
promise in both preventative and
curative fields. With care. dis
ability may be prevented and eco
nomic self-suppOrt maintained.
3. Rheumatic--The rheumatic form
