Bristol considers WPA plan for waterfront beaches
Bristol faces a funding hurdle as the Works Progress Administration plan requires the town to cover 25 percent of project costs, potentially delaying redevelopment of Colt Drive beach and several other waterfront sites. Relief officials plan to use SUR supervision and life-saving squads to improve safety at Valley and Union streets and coordinate with the Bristol Safety Council and local fire companies.

Kansas Girls State forms for citizenship training
The Kansas American Legion Auxiliary started Girls State, patterned after Boys State, sending about 150 high school girls to an eight day citizenship program. They elected city county and state officials, formed two parties, studied current issues, and urged continuation of the National Youth Administration in schools. In Warwick Neck, Rhode Island, a colony of six escaped monkeys adapts to cold winters, resisting capture and living freely near a Warwick Neck resident who feeds them. One monkey died. two babies joined the group. The animals shelter in boxes and a winter house, with daily visits from a baker's route driver who feeds them loafs of stale bread.
