QUARANTINE 10 BE
 MADE MORE STRICT Health Officer to Prevent NOn- Resident Children Coming Here NEW WORKERS GET NOTICE
PIainvilIe Children Will Be Quaran- tined On Their Return Home If Par ents Insist On Taking Them Out of Town On Visits-Other Items.

1 forts to keep the town free rom ln- fantile paralysis, Health Officer J. N 1 Bull has made arrangement to tight en the lines of quarantine and until
 danger of the scourge reaching Plain- vile has been passed, people living in infected districts will have difficulty in coming to this town and parents will no longer find this place a haven for their children.
 pr. Bull is hopeful that there will be no distri button of the germs of the dread disease here and he proposes to take the necessary precautions to keep Plainville children from becoming in- fected.
 With Mrs. Bull he will leave tomor- row for the shore resort where he will spend the next week, Dr. c. w. Moody taking his place as health of ficer during his absence. Dr. Bull usually takes a rest of at least three
 weeks in the summer but his work as health officer this year forced him to cut it down to a few days.
 Replying to requests for informa- tion the health officer has advised the New York Automobile club of the status of the quarantine here. New Workers will be permitted to drive through Plainville in their machines but their children cannot remain here over night except in case of emer- gency. Adults living in infected dis tr1cts, which he classifes as places where there have been or are cases of the disease, cannot stop off here except on business and even under these circumstances they must report their presence to the health officer. The same applies to people living in other cities where the disease has broken out Adults from places where there is sign of the malady are welcome to come and go as they choose although Dr. Bull is not anx- fous to have any more traffic through here than is necessary.
 Children from other places cannot be brought here for temporary visits as the physician believes the young- sters in Plainville are entitled to pro- lection which they might not have should little folks from other localities be permitted to mingle with them. As an example of the danger he cited a ease in COllinsville where a boy was permitted to visit although he came from a part of New York where the dread disease ragged. Although in a rural district the little fellow man. aged to associate with other children and a week after his arrival when he developed the disease, he had already spread the cOntagion. A few days later one of his playmates had to be taken to the isolation hospital. For the Collinsvlle boys misfortune the authorities, either local or state, Dr. Bull believes are responsible for had he been given the proper protection he would not have been exposed.
 Dr. Bull is making every effort to discourage local people from taking their children out of town on visits and while he has given certificates of health he has only done so after at tempting to persuade the parents to leave them at home. Many of the adults have recognized the wisdom of the doctors advice and have changed their plans accordingly. The others will find it inconvenient in the future when they take their children away to visit Certificates will be given 10 them but when they return their homes will be practically quarantined and their children will have to be kept from other youngsters in the neighborhOOd for period of about 1 three weeks.
 The health officers regulations if observed will play an important part | in keeping infantile paralysis away from Plainville. The epidemic is a serious problem and while the health authorities are striving hard to con- trol it. parents, for the safety of their l own offspring as we'll as that of other 1 children in the town, should make an effort to cooperate by at least keep ing the youngsters in their own local l itv where they will not be in danger 1 of contamination if all live up to the rules
 Plainville has been singular1y free from serious contagious diseases dur | ing the past year and the health off cer is deserving of the support of the 1 townspeople in general in his efforts l to keep it so.
 Dr. Moody during his term as tenn rorary health officer, will follow out the plans of Dr. Bull and until the scourge has been conquered Plainville ] will be under quarantin Should a l case develop here Dr. Bull has made 1 arrangements to hurry the patient to the isolation hospital in Hartford, as l as done by the New Britain authori- 1 ities, to minimize the danger of the spreading of the disease
