 Suddenly seized with cramp
 while enjoying a swim Thursday af- ternoon Robert Rudolph of 43 Drew
 Place sank without any warning or cries for help and was lying flat on his back at the bottom of the sound | when cries of two or three bathers
 who were on the raft attracted the
 worth who dove from the life boat
 and succeeded in bringing the man
 ton.
 Swimming on his back and hold ing the mans head up Duckworth began pulling for Shore which was | about 30 feet away. Jack Baer, who does relief work for Duckworth at shore jumped in and assisted in the
 rescue The life savers finally reached shore and then started to bring the boy to. It took at least fifteen min
 utes before the boy ragained con-
 sciousness. Dr. Louis Simondson of | Brid dgeport who was on the beach
 rendered first aid but it was nearly
 two hours before Rudolph was in normal condition
 | He and his friend had gone in the
 water too soon afber eating and this
 caused the cramps. He was midway
 between the buoy and the float when
 the cramps came on suddenly and he
 sank before he was able to call Tor
 help His companion who was ahead !1 of Rudolph did not know Of his plight until he reached the raft and
 turned to look for him. Then pne | men on the raft called to DuckWorth
 and he came to the rescue as soon
 as possible

 It is impossible to ascertain why | tn sanitary conditions Of LenoX Heights. Nichols Terrace, and Ho1-

 the health authorities in Fairfield
 Investigation has disclosed that every
 house in one section has an open
 sewer running into an open ditch | small children paddle and play. | Sometime ago it was reported that | Fairfield had the lowest death rate | in the state but it seems impossible | that the number of deaths can be | kept down while conditions rise from | these polluted ditches and flies, mos | qudtoes and bugs of all kind breed
 quickly in such places.
 No disinfectant of any kind Is used | to tone down the stench which rises ! from these polluted ditches and the smell is sometimes practically un- bearable. The matter will be taken
 up by the resid enss of the other sec tions of Fairfield if the condition is
 not remedied very soon.
