COUNTY HEALTH MEN
 OPPOSE GENERALIZATION.
Will Fight Attempt to Put Power in
 Hands of State Health Officer,

The county health officers of Con- necticut are prepared to fight any leg islation that is presented by physi- clans at the next session of the gen. eral assembly to centralize the power of health authorities in the state and eliminate the lawyer health officers.
 Though this move of shaking up the health department of the state is backed by many prominent men in the state. there is no question but that the health officers have sufficient influence to fight it. The officer for New Haven county, Charles W. Evarts. of Milford is a member of the senate, one of it's most influential leaders, in fact The other health officers have equally pow erful friends in both houses of the leg islature, and they don't propose to allow any such measure abolishing their jobs to go through at all.

The case of Nicholas Dardis of New London against the Harry McNaHy Construction company for $5,000 dam ages for injuries received by being buried in a trench in which he was at work at Fort Wright about two weeks ago, is assigned for trial in the su- preme court in New York Monday.

Dardis alleges that he was working in a. trench at Fort Wright while employ ed by the defendant company as pipe filter when the sides of the trench caved in and he was buried under six tons of dirt. Fortunately. his mouth was near an opening in pipe so that he could get air until he was dug out by fellow Workmen. He received a broken rib and painful bruises of the body by which he was confined to the hospital for about ten weeks. He al- leges negligence in not providing suit able protection for the sides of the trench.

The road at Groton Long Point. about which discussion has ragged high since it's completion as to whether or not 1t was suitable for traffic through the hard storms of winter. when the tide would wash over it, has had its trial and proved much better pre- pared to stand the storms than anyone expected. During the last storm tides swept the road for a long distance and washed away much of the gravel, but did no real damage. The winds were as strong and the tide as high as it is reasonable to expect will be met with at any time, and the road has a better prospect of pleasing the public now than at any time since it was started.

BRITAIN OFFERS
FOR REELECTION

Atlanta, June An. L. Britain,
state superintendent of schools, has
authorized announcement of his can
didacy for reelection to that position
Prof. Britain was originally APP
pointed to the Office and subsequent
ly in the election he was returned by
more than $4,000 majority.
He now seeks reelection on plat
form of faithful service and an ear
nest effort to advance the cause OF
education in his native state. 1t is u
statement of fact that since he has
been in the position he has given
many opinions on educational mat
tiers, which when tested in the
courts, have been affirmed in every
instance. Hundreds of his decisions
and opinions have been ratified by
the state board of education, no sin
gle instance of reversal being re
corded.
Just one year ago Prof. Brittaia
was elected head of the Southern Ed
vocational association. Two import
ant educational bodies of the state
have Endorsed him for reelection
the Association OF County School Of
ficials, unanimously The State
Teachers association on May gave
like unanimous Endorsement, with
the statement that "he is the peer Of
any state school superintendent in
America"
School officials of more than 40
of the 14S counties have already ex-
pressed their intention of supporting
him for re election, prominent among
these being the superintendent and
every member of the board of educa-
ton of Early county, the home Of
his opponent, Prof. Bowden.
That Prof. Britain will be re-ellec-
ted is practically a foregone conclu-
sion. The people know he is doing
good work, that he is patriotic, IN
selfish, not a politician, wise consci-
entious and unafraid where duty lies.
Georgia should be proud to honor
such a man.
