ESTABLISHES BRANCHES FOR ss CARE OF CAlt 0REk

The state bureau Nof child hygiene has now established branches for the state. The latest communities in which branches have been established are the following: Southington. Tor rinGton. 5Seymour. Watertown. Milford. Grosvenordaie. WnInngford and CIas- tonbury.
 The initiative for the establishment of the bureau was taken by the Con- retctcut state cotincirof defence and it was continued under the auspices of the state department of health when the council of defense discontinued it's activities. An estimate based on f1g- ures given out by the United States census bureau. shows that there are in the, state approximately l4l.oe2 chil- dren under five years ofTages There are 43,19S in New Haven county and 33,011 in Hartford county. Fairfield county has 806 more. than Hartford
 The bureau of child hygiene is spar ing no efforts to increase the number of branches in localities throughout the state. They give special attention to the rural communities and to the smaller centers of population. The large cities have. taken steps to care for. their own children and except for advice are not so much dependent cess or the. work as are the smaller places.
 A pamphlet has just been issued containing a report made by officials of the state engaged in child welfare work. In a summary the report reads: People in Connecticut realize the need for more and better health pro- lection for all but especially for in- Ffants and children
 Surveys have been made in twenty flee towns that give an index as to health conditions. These surveys win be used as basis to further the de- velcpsnent of health work The survey was conducted by the child welfare when it was conducted through the high school. We feel that the high school idea is a. very good one, and used iR connection with their ciyics c0ur4e. teachee the students many f&cte fhaf they should know aboutzsthe health ,orHanize tion~sfps their town.
