Health Officers Report.
 Health Officer Dr. G. H. Jennings makes the following statement regard with the borough's success in keeping it away:
 The early summer brought infantiIe paralysis to Connecticut, the chief large number of summer boarders and visitors come annually from this point to the state. They brought the dis ease in New York city, there was a larger percentage of cases in our own state. The severity of this disease not only in the large percentage of deaths but also in the permanent dis ability of many who do not die, and the little known as to treatment or prevention, led to the early establish ment of quarantine against any To- cality where the disease was preva- lent. This quarantine was established by most of the towns. boroughs and cities of eastern Connecticut, Gris- wold and Jewett City being of the number. This was continuous here from June q to November 5.
 The quarantine was without a doubt effective in the prevention of this dreaded disease. Also all children un- der 16 years of age who travelled by public conveyance were quarantined for three weeks, so far as coming in contact with other children or enter ing any public place.
 There were no cases in the borough.
 Ice Harvesting Held Up.
 Three inches of snow with a coat ing of sleet which fell Sunday night held up the ice cutting that was to have begun Monday. The snow was cleared from a large tract that was plowed Sunday. James Shea said late Monday evening that as the mercury had dropped 10 degrees in a few hours he would start cutting Tuesday. A large per cent. of Sundays work was lost as the thawing snow, with the thermometer registering 50 all day filled the blow grooves with water which will be frozen this morning

All-AmerCan Association Parks
to be Turned Into Drill Grounds

LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 2S.-A
course in military training open to
the public as well as the players of
the various baseball teams in the cir
cult viii be instituted within two
weeks, according to President Thomas
J. Hickey of the American association
Every club in the league has APP
proved the plan," President Hickey
said in making the announcement,
"and we hope to have it in operation
within two weeks, first in the eastern
cities and few days later in the
western end of the circuit.
Army Men for DrilImastcrs.
The war department has been
asked to supply a regular army man
as drillmaster, who will be stationed
at the ball park in each American
association city. During the time the
home club is engaged in games on
its own grounds he will drill the
players as well as the public. When
the team is away from home he will
give his attention entirely to those
citizens who desire to avail themselves
of his instruction. Each drillmaster
will be paid 800 a month by the
American association In addition to
his regular army salary, according to
present plans.
Inc pan parks VIII DC open 10 tHe
public for drill morning, afternoon
and evening. In this way it is hoped
that everyone, regardless of his hours
of leisure, who wishes to begin the
task of fitting himself for military
service, will be able to avail himself
of the instruction.
Two objects, one with a selfish
element and the other having in II
only the desire to be of service TO the
country. have actuated the club own
ers in taking up the plan.
in the first instance it is realized
