BABY SPECIALi' BACK

The Connecticut Baby Special re- ports that its first run has been a complete success. The motor truck, equiped and sent by the child welfare committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense to weigh and measure children under six years of age in the towns of Connecticut, has returned to Hartford from its first series of trips to MiddleseX county. It is scheduled this month for Litchfield county.
 The crew of the special, a trained nurse to examine the children and q member of the State Motor Messenger corps, to drive, believe that this inno- vation is one of the most important things Connecticut has done in the carrying out of the government chiI- dren's year program. It has reached more people and reused more interest in the importance of child welfare as a war measure than any other one thing the committee has done. Hun dreds of children were weighed and
