and attention as a surgical operation.
 Occasionally vaccination sores do assume d serious aspect due to infec- tion after vaccination. This infection occurs because of improper care of the wound or scratch. It must be remem bered that q vaccination should receive the same care as any wound until en- tirely healed. Since modern methods have been adopted, careful investiSa ton shows that only one death out of q million vaccinations can be truly charged to vaccination, directly or in directly.
 With pure vaccine carefully used vaccination is q perfectly safe proce- dure and will not cause serious com plications and will surely prevent smallpox
 The bulletin speaks of the lack of funds handicapping the state board of health in it's efforts to develop a greater efficiency, and calls attention to a number of other topics, 1nclud- ing the Connecticut Public Health As sociation.

terrible plague and to discover, if pos- sible, satisfactory means of preven- tion and cure.
 Had someone been so fortunate as to discover a serum of vaccine that would insure protection against this disease, we know it would have been immediately adopted and unanimously accepted.
 Now we are facing another pla que -smalpoX-the mysteries Of which sure means of protection has been pro- Vlded, but instead of universal ac- eeptance, more or less reluctance and opposition to it's use has been shown. It Is hard to explain this Inconsis- tency of the human mind, but it is demonstrated over and over again in everyday life.
 '<Many people hesitate to be vac- cinated or to have their children vac cinated because of false impressions they have received by reading sensa- tional news, or because of a lack of knowledge of the history and actual benefits of vaccination.
 Smallpox in the eighteenth century was responsible for 10 per cent. of all deaths and for one-third of the deaths kof children. In 1752 Boston had a population of 15.0S4 and of this num- Der there were only 174 who had never had smallpox.
 H0c her in 1796 and was soon adopted by all civilized countries. Smallpox then became a rare disease. The fear of it gradually faded and with the passing from memory of it's horrible ravages the practice of vaccination has been greatly neglected.
 "The result is that smallpox is crop ping out in many states. and in some unvaccinated communities it Is almost epidemic. It is true that the disease in Connecticut is of mild type, but we know that it may. at any time. be- come viru1ent and destructive. It be- ing impossible to isolate and confine all existing cases, vaccination must be resorted to for protection.
 Perhaps the most serious objection to vaccination is the fear of compli- cations following. There has been some justification for this fear be- cause of the methods of vaccination, before the days of asepsis and the use of COW vaccine. Early vaccinations were made by inoculating from person to person. a practice which undoubt- edly did transmit disease. Now vac cine virus is secured from healthy calves under the supervision of United States inspectors and is prepared un- der the strictest aseptic precautions.
 "The method of vaccination has also improved. Where formerly it was done carelessly and without aseptic precau- tions. it now receives the same care

NoANK FISHERMEN WILL
 PETITION LEGISLATURE
For Bill to Make Non- Residents Pay For Fishing Within Three Mile Linn

Noank fishermen will ask for a bill to make non-residents pay for the privilege of fishing within the three mile limit. When the next legislature meets at Hartford this bill will be introduced. Connecticut pays the bill for artificially supplying the waters of the sound with the crustaceans. Captain Rathbun, of the state lobster hatchery at Noank, ljoerates over fifty million young Holsters in the waters of Long Island sound every year. Then, in order to catch these Holsters which have been matched by the local hatchery. they must pay the state of New York s2O for a permit, which is only good fo- one season. Fishermen from Greenport and Riverhead fish out of this port and pay nothing for the privilege. Rhode Island also pro- hibits non-residents from fishing with in the three mile limit. but fishermen from that state can drag the Connec- ticut waters without charge. A new bill will also be introduced to stop seine fishing for smelts in Palmer's cove and Bakers cove.

Child SCalded Dies
From the Injuries

Lial, the young son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Dewitt, of whom
brief mention was made last
week of getting scalded, died
from the effects Friday after
noon, just a few hours after the
accident. The women folks had
been doing the family washing,
building a fire near the residence
for the heating of water, and
after finishing carried a tub of
hot water into the house for the
purpose of scrubbing some of
the floors. The little fellow in
some manner fell backward into
it. DR.. Bazell of Holbrook was
telephoned for Immediately and
reached here as quick as an auto
could bring him and dressed the
but the child lived only
a short time afterward. Mr..
Dewitt was away at the time
working on a reservoir forty odd
miles south of WinsloW. Word
was sent to him and he arrived
here Saturday morning about
three o'clock.
LiaI Watson Dewitt was born
July 8, 1913, and had he lived
day would have been
exactly three years old. He
was bright little fellow and
must have suffered untold agony.
The remains were laid to rest
Saturday afternoon in the town
cemetery.
The family has the deep sympa-
thy of this community in their
sad loss.
