MANTHEY CRANE !S WRECKING OLD
 COLISEUM BLDG.

Lives there a man who hasn't at sometime or other stopped to ki- bitz on the activities of big con- struction job? Maybe it was in San Francisco at Union Square, or a new Chicago subway, or just any scene of giant machines moving things from one place to another.
 Well, there aren't any fences to keep people from getting too close, and onlookers have to look out for themselves; but Contractor Bill Manthey has his 30 ton crane down at the Ferry Way site of the fire gutted Coliseum Theater.
 The big crane has a l and 2i cubic yard shovel, and Manthey is using it to chew away the wreck age of the building and load it onto trucks fer hauling away to the garbage dump.
 It is worth watching to see that 72 foot arm swing around so the operator can drop the shovel down into the debris that once was a theater with two floors of apart ments above.
 Steel teeth opened wide, the sho- vel comes down, perhaps mangles a section of flooring into splinters, joistS and all. Crunching shut the jaws tear up half truckload of the wreckage, then lift it high in the air, stray boards or lengths of water pipe hanging like toothpicks.
 Four trucks are busy hauling the debris off to the garbage dump, where a bulldozer shoves it over the edge. "No," says Manthey, We don't get much out that's worth saving Just few radiators, and we've gotten one bathtub."
 So far, a little more than half the length of the l20 foot structure has been taken out. This morning the piling foundations were being pulled, in order to put in a gravel ramp for the crane to move into the building itself and get at the front section

under a plummetting piece of metal
 Four houses were almost com plete wrecks, windows were broken in 300 within a miles radius, glass shattered as far distant as 70 blocks.
 The entire downtown district was jolted as if by earthquake, sending terrorized citizens to telephones quickly tanning police and news paper lines.
 The mushrooming blast, so deaf ening that persons miles from the scene believed an atom bomb had fallen, left an estimated 500 surviv- ors homeless.
 At least 100 families were fed in emergency canteens and then trans 1erred to housing projects for the night. Many of them lost all their possessions when the explosion tore up their homes.
 Property damage amounted tc $1,000,000 and possibly may double that. The one-story O'Connor Elec- tro-Plating Works was virtually disintegrated. A dozen homes in the same block were demolished. Thirty others were said by city building inspectors to be unsafe until re- paired. A total of 300 buildings were demolished or damaged.

Dr. Eleanor Hope Johnson

The lives of some men and women seem unusually crowded with adventure and accomplish ment, so that when these accom- plishments are unfolded in story form it makes fascinating and absorbing reading.
 One such life has been lived by a member of our community who has established herself as beacon in the field of bet ter human relations. Few peo- pie with an interest in this field in Hartford, Conn.,, are unac- quainted with the interest and deep concern that has been manifested by Dr. Eleanor Hope Johnson.
 Dr. Johnson s life reads like a novel when 1t comes to in tellectual distinction, extensive travel and service for human welfare. Born in Rutland, Yer mont, the daughter of a Con- gregational Minister; grad uate of Smith College, Phi Beta Kappa, graduate work in psy- chology at Columbia University, social worker and teacher; she has managed to accumulate a tremendous record of accom- plishments.
 In Social Work she had the rare distinction of spending a year at Hull House under the late Jane Adams. In the field of Education she worked ex- tensively among physically and mentally handicapped children.
 It was 1922 when Dr. John son joined the faculty of the Hartford Seminary Foundation in the School of Religious Edu- cation. While there she not only carried on with her Semi nary responsibilities but made distinctive contributions to the City of Hartford through her psychological and psychiatric knowledge.
 It is an accepted fact that travel broadens ones perspec- tive and cultural appreciation. Dr. Johnson is one of those few fortunate persons who has tra- veled extensively in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and the Orient.
 And as natural consequence of her intellectual brilliance and broad interests innumer-
