the same, the disease apparently not
being checked in Connecticut for while
there were only cases reported for the

two weeks there have been n and 10
cases reported respectively. During
the past week the 19 cases were re-
ported from five Bridge
port. stratford. Fairfield. Westport, and
WATERFOWL.
1t has been found again and again by
health officials that with smallpox in a
community it Is necessary to protect the
community by vaccinating the individ-
uals in it, and to pay particular attention
so that unvaccinated groups. such as
school children, do not congregate in
this way exposing all Of them II one
Of the members was in the early stage
Of the disease
At the present time during the pres
ent epidemic in Connecticut the following
points are of interest:
Not a vaccinated school child has had
smallpox.

has been called to the fact 331 cases of
small pox have been reported from eigh-
teen towns in the state since January l.
1922 Many of the cases. fortunately.
have been mild in character but it is a rec

severity as it progresses.
Further, it is known that the school
population is the group most susceptible
to smallpox, and in many instances the
least vaccinated.
White the state board of education is
fully aware that the matter Of c0npnl-
sorry vaccination as a condition of attend

TOWN MEETING VOTES 598 TO 596

In a special town meeting Wednesday
night in the town hall, that was record
breaker for attendance, vote of SOS to
SOS was recorded in favor of a resolution
expressing the opinion OF the meeting that
the business hours OF Norwich shall be adj
vanced one hour beginning next Sunday
morning at o'clock.
1t was j town meeting that for atten-
dance was such as had never before been
seen by anyone present, for the crowd
that storned the hail filed every one of
the $50 available seats, packed the stand
ing room in the aisles up and down both
sides, overfiowed into and damned the
lobby full and extended part way down
both stairways leading to the hall. 1t
was estimated that close up to 1900 men
and women were present, although only
1,194 votes were cast. Before Supt Jo-
seph ]. Fields was ready to open the
doors at Z o'clock, the early arrivals
were clamoring for admission, and by
100 there was not a vacant seat left and
the standing crowd had begun to pack
into the aisles.
1t was a good natured crowd that at
tempted little jollying of the speakers
and displayed a disposition at times to
resolve itself into a general free-for-all
conversation, from which the heavy
pounding of the gavel by Chairman H.
H. Pettis snapped them back into order
Probably any number of speeches that
were ready to be poured forth remained
bottled up and undehvered when the
meeting took the suggestion of Frank E
Peckham that time used in talking would
be wasted. as every one present had his
opinion formed and no amount Of talking
would change it. The thing to do, he
said, was to vote. and vote quick, and
| settle the question of daylight saving
which he said was an insane notion.
