Lidice,Town Of Disaster Will Live Again This Fall
Prague. Czechoslovakia—(U.P)—The town of Lidice, which the Germans tried to "wipe off the map" in June, 1942, will have a population again this fall.
The government-financed society for the reconstruction of Lidice reported that about thirty houses in the "new Lidice" will be ready for occupancy by Oct. 1, "if everything goes on schedule."
The society spokesman said most of the preliminary work of laying out the new town had been completed in 1948, with roads laid and drainage work "in the final stages." He said 36 houses had been begun in 1945. By mid-February all had walls, ten were already roofed, and bids had been asked for the final painting jobs.
The new Lidice, located next door to the old site, which will be be maintained as a permanent memorial, will have eventually a house for each of the women and orphans who survived the Nazi massacre and concentration camps, plus a few more for the older children as they grow up and marry.
Many of the 140 women who returned have married already and others plan to do so as soon as the new houses are ready.
Lidice has not waited for physical occupancy to get back on the map. The town has had a full-fledged legal existence since the end of the war. Its future population, now living mostly in Krochalv, a suburb of Kladno, has its own municipal council and even a representative in parliament. The chairman, Helen Leflerova, sits for the Communist party.
Over-enthusiastic planners once predicted that the new Lidice would be all ready for its population to move into and start housekeeping again within a year or so after the war.
More sober experts noted that such matters as water mains, sewer pipes and roads must be considered before houses could be started. They pointed out that the government wanted to make the new Lidice a model town with all modern facilities.
Even they, however, did not expect that it would be late in 1949 before the first family could be rehoused. Despite the devoted labor of thousands of Czechs and a considerable number of foreign visitors in "brigades," the work has gone slowly.
More brigades are due to speed it up this spring and summer. The Prague district of the "Fighters for Freedom" (combined resistance organizations of both wars) recently announced, for example, that its members had pledged to give 500,000 hours of labor to Lidice this year.

Why Stutter?—Dance
Cambridge, Mass —(U.P.) Jitterbugging may be a cure for stuttering and stammering, says a Harvard neurologist. "Expression—the act of talking—is a bodily function, a so-called motor act," Dr. Edward Cole explained. "Dancing gives an affiliated person the exercise necessary for relaxation of the vocal muscles."
