CHILDREN MAY STAY
AT BEACH RESORTS
And Return Whenever They Want to
Provided There are No Gases of In
fantiIe Paralysis Where They are
Staying, Says Health Officer Brophy

Regarding his statement that Nor
wich children may visit beaches City
Health officer Edward J. Brophy said
Monday night that there has been
some misunderstanding over the time
limit. Children may go and stay at
beaches and shore resorts as long as
they choose if there is no infantile
paralysis lhere and viii be allowed to
return home whenever they want to.
However if there are cases Of the
| disease at the places they visit they
viii be quarantined if they remain
there more than one day. If a case
should break out while they are Wis
iting at a place, DR.. Brophy says the
wisest course would be to leave that
place at once.
Officer Klein of the town of ColChes-
ter has changed his mind since the
messing of the city and town of Nor
witch authorities held TO consider the
matter of excluding children from
Colchester under 16 years Of age and
is allowing all persons to enter the
town from any locality and that since
this rule went into effect the agree
ment between the town and city of
Norwich officials and the Colchester
health officer that the exclusion Of
Colchester children would be carried
on only for three weeks has been
abrOgated and the exclusion of the
Colchester children VIII be enforced
until an indefinite period. Since there
have been several cases of the infan-
tile paralysis in Colchester and sur
rounding towns and IN view of the
great number of summer boarders
who have hoCked to this vicinity from
New York for the vacation period
during the epidemic it was considered
best by the local health authorities to
be rigid with their exclusion meas
ures.
It is felt that in spite of the pre-
cautions and vigilance in most of the
cities and towns of this section, sus-
poets in considerable numbers are
gaining admission into places in the
northern end of the county. The
strongest and strictest exclusion or
ders are in force in New London and
Norwich and by this it is felt they
have been repaid by a non-appear-
ance Of the disease in this city.
MontviIe Has Another Case.
Medical Examiner NJ. E. Fox of
MOnVille reported at the meeting of
the physicians in the county held with
City Health officer Brophy last Fri
day that he had a suspected case in
that the case is a fully developed one
and that the child located on Ray
mond hill in Montville mas been quar-
antined. The child is located on an
adjoining farm to that one where
there We're other cases which were
removed to New London
Evading health department quaran-
tine restrictions, a New York automo-
bile truck, carrying about 20 mothers,
