ties, the only solution Is repudiation or drastic revision of the plan.
 Contributions
 On the other hand, he states, annual contributions In c Soundly financial plan are determined on Q level, or nearly level percentage of each years payroll. The unused por- ton of contributions, together with Income from other previously in. vested funds, is invested and held in trust aS reserves against future liabilities. Periodic actuarial valua- ton of the fund will determine the adequacy of reserves and the proper rate of annual contribution.
 In his study Mir. Hooker dis- closes that the City of Waterbury has been dlsburslng c constantly increasing sum-, now amounting to upwards of slSO,0OO each year, for pension payments, and has ins cured very substantial pension obligations Co active employees without any advance financing whatsoever. He points out that the financial burden may in time become pFohlbltlve unless steps are taken to place Che system on . sound actuFial basis.
 Distribution
 In arriving at his gross cost fig- ures for all active and retired ern- ployes Mir. Hooker found distribu. ton of employees, pensioners, and active employees on or about July lst to be AS follows;

Wheeler Rips League PIons

Washington, Sept, 2i.--CUP)-- Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont. leading foe of American partlci- patton in world peace organization, predicted today there would be R "hell of Q fight9" when the Senate Is asked to approve the security plan now being fashioned ct Dunn. barton Oaks,
 Declaring 1t absurd" to pattern new League of Nations before thD final peace treaties are signed. Wheeler said ne considered it far from certain now whether the plan would get the necessary two-thirds vote needed for Senate ratifica. ton.
 That depends" he said, upon what the American people think of it when they get Q chance to see whats in it."
 Wheelers statement colncided with the disclosure that the tenta : tive plans being formulated ct tho Dumbarton Oaks conference pFovld. cd for ct least one and possibly two Latin American representatives on the council or upper chamber, os the new league. This was learned after an official spokesman hinte6 that seven rotating members os tlla council of Il would Dc chosen on 2 regional basis.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-09-21

As of July 1, io44 the City has incurred c lump sum pension liabili- ty of Se,o0o,e64. to the i,700 pen- sionerS and active employees now on it's payroll. No reserves have been set up to meet this obligation. In order to amortize this sum over c period of 90 years it will be neces. sary for the City to set up, starting immediately, annual payments Of 1330,i27 each year. This represents 1928 percent of the entire city payroll, In addition, the pension obligations to the 1878 employees, who are on the active payroll, repre-. sent further cost of l0i9 percent of the current total payroll, or an. other S327 ,402. This brings the eSti- mated greSs annual cost of financ. Ing the entire system on the pres- ent basis to 9067.b8o based on the present payroll and distribution Of sex and age of city employees. Of this cost, e330, i27 is constant over c 90 year period, while the balance will fiuctuate with the payroll. being i0.i0 per cent thereof The entire cost iS 20.44 DOT cent of the present net payroll, which does not include the "CoSt of Living" allowance now being paid to city employees. After thirty years the cost would drop to about ten percent of total payroll.
 However, since the firemen and policemen now contribute two per. cent of net salary tho present an. nual cost to the City iS reduced by 9ie,74o, making the net cost S040, $40, or i0.02 of payroll.
 Mir. Hooker has broken down his report to cover contributions from and benefits to the various groups of City employees as follows;
 The current total gross annual cost of policemeTls pensions is ei4b,s 3i2 or 34.02 per cent of the police department payroll. Members cons trihutions of ee,3o4 (2% of payroiD reduces the net cost to the city to 32.02 per cent of department pays roll. (After 90 years, provided the current back obligations have been afnorti1od, the annual net cost Go the city will drop to S04,3o2 or 20.ii DOT cent of payrolij

High Cost Of Pensions

Continued from Page D ing whotsoeVer. He points out that such c financial burden if continued on Q non .aeturiai basis might be become prohibitive.
 It has been estimated that there are 1900 active employees to whom the city Is obligated" some day to pay c pension while ct present there are i0i pensioners actually receiving pensions.
 S8,0O0,004 Liability
 It is pointed out that as of July 1, i044, the city has incurred Q lump sum pension liability of &C., 900 ,6e4, to these i,706 pensioners and active employees now on its pays roll, No reserves have been set up to meet this obligation, At present the city is paying out upward to Si60000 on pensions,
 Therefore, it is pointed out, that the city will in order to af1ofti2e this sum over 6 period of 90 years find it necessary to set up, starting immbediately, annual payments Of S330,i27, This represents l0,26 per cent of the entire payroll, In addi. tion, the pension obligations to the 1875 active employees, represent 6 further annual cost of i0.ie per cent of the payroll, or another e327 ,4e2, Of this total the first figure would remain eontsant over the 90 year period while the latter would fiuetu- ate with the net payroll each year, After 90 years, the total cost would decrease to about 10 per cent Of the payroll, each year,
 The estimates are based on figures inclusive of oil employees of the city, namely general employees, firemen, policemen, and teachers with the final estimated cost based on the present payroll and distribution of sex and age Of each city einploye.
 Too High?
 It seemed likely today that this estimated cost of amortization for the city based on an aeturiai pro- cedure, would De considered too high and further attempts will De made to offset this, by means Of possible higher contributions by the city employees. Eventually, some iegisia. tive action will be necessary to fe. ViRe the existing pension laws so

 Policemen
 The retirement provisions and benefits are identical to those listed t/oVo aS applicable to the Firemen's Pension Fund, with the exception that the Board may retire an or1l- pleye after 20 years of service at age e5, instead of age 6b in the case of firemen. As the retirement pro. visions are drawn, however, the practical difference Is probably small, although the police have been retiring, on the average, at c slightly higher age than the fires men.
 Present Pensioners
 To properly finance the pensions Of employees. widows and children who arc now on the retired list it iB necessary to set aside the sum Of So2,306 annually, 1B7 per cent of net payroii-for c period of the next thirty years.
 Recommendations
 MT. Hooker hes made the foilow- ing broad recommendations in hiG first report to tho Commission; 1. That the value Of aii existing retirement benefits De Weighee against their respective costs, aS set forth ifi this report.
 2. If the Citys total costs on an actuarial basis arc considered tot high, that ways and means Of prop. eFiy reducing such costs be in"esti' gated,

Arthur DuBoiS to serve as members of the Comniss sion and requires them to complete their survey and to report on their survey, suggestions, and proposed legislation to Mayor Mor"c"n not later than first week of Ja iuary l946. Mfr. Verrieker has found 1t necessary to resign from the Com. mission and has not yet been re. placed by Governor Baldwin.
 Actual Study
 After organizing the Commission with Mir. DuBois as Chairman and MT. Robinson as secretary it was voted to have made an actuarial study of the CityS present retire. ment obligation to It's employees. as required by existing statutes, The services of Russell O. Hooker, of West Hartford, Q Fellow of the Acc tuarial Society of America, were er. gagged for this purpose. Under the terms Of his contract MT. Hook CT agreed to make the study of the current obligations, to propose estimates based upon suggested changes in the present plan, and to assist in drawing Up proposed leg. ISlation covering any changes deem. cd necessary.
 Tn his first report which is based upon conditions existing on July i, le44. MT. Hooker attempts to show the probable future annual cost to the City of pensions accruing to employees under existing laws. He has broken down the costs into log. ical clasSif1cations to provide the basis for an intelligent appraisal of the various benefits offered. He has computed costs as level percentaRos of payroll, since, he states "experI- ence has shown that constantly in. creasing costs are unSound and in the long run rulnous," He points out that level percentage contribution, with proper actuarial supervision, will indicate very little variation in the annual cost, expressed as c per- centage of payroll.
 Mir. Hooker indicates that under any pension plan of the usual type retirement payments are low at first but gradually and porslstenly inc crease over Q period of years. Un- less c system of financing Is adopt cd which anticipates and provides for this upward trend, the point Is eventually reached when the aii. nual payments become prohibltlve. At this point, with no reserves built Up to meet the outstanding liabiii.

 {. That oil pension costs be financed in the future on q sound actuarial basis.
 5. That the administration of oil matters pertaining to employees pensions be consolidated under the Jurisdiction Of Q single retirement board.
 6. That, after careful study of the above and other related mat- terS, the appropriate amendments to the Charter Of the City of Wa terbury De drawn up and enacted at the ie46 session Of the General As. een1biy
 The aetuary also acknowledged the cooperation of Comptroller Ma loney in collecting and furnishing the personnel and financial data necessary to the study. The conln1is. sion is also grateful to the City ei1ls ployes for their cooperation in eefil- pleting and returning the question: naireS which were necessary to Sc. cure the data.
 The Commission is now engaged | m fuftncf btuuy or tHe bltuhtloH III on effort to reduce the tremond- ousiy heavy burden which the pres- ent pension plans have placed upon the taxpayers of the City. MT Hooker has prepared c new study in which he has incorporated sugs gestionS Of the Commission. These matters arc now being considered by the Commission in preparation for q series of public hearings which are to Do held within the next few weeks. Representatives Of oil City employees and the general public will be given ample notice Of the hear ines and the opportunity to be heard"

forced to eat. This disturbs him emotionally and eXhausts him phy- sically.
 The best solution to the problem is to make the food so appealing that the child wants to eat 1t. Chil- dren are always intrigued by any thing unusual, so dress the food up a little to make 1t more interesting. This takes imagination, time and patience, but is worth the effort. SERVE THE MOON
 For example, instead of serving orange juice every day, serve the moon. Make this by dividing the or ange into sections and arranging them on a small plate to look like face. Put a ring of sections around the edge of the plate. Cut one sec ton in half and set one piece up for Q nose. Make smiling mouth with orange sections or red jelly. Use fresh or canned berries of some kind for eyes, under heavy brows Of orange sections.
 Or try making a basket out of the orange. Leave one half of the peel intact, and with a sharp knife outline a narrow strip from side to side for handle, leaving it attach ed at each end. Remove the peel on each side of the handle, and care- fully cut through the orange so that the sections can be removed in halves without breaking. After talk ing them out and separating them. replace them in the basket, with jelly bean or two for variety.
