 Since the discovery of six cases Of smallpox at the home of Michael Bos- COG on Maple street, there has been steady rush of people at the offices of Plainville doctors for vaccination. Starting at noon yesterday and lasting until al hours last night, the doctors were busily engaged in vaccinating men, women and children. A free vaccination clinic was opened up this morning at the Grammar school on Broad street and at 2 o'clock a long line of people were waiting until the clinic should be started. An extra sup ply of vaccination points has been rushed 10 PlainNille by the state health department so that all seeking 10 be vaccinated may be accommodat- cd.
 Although no new developments have been reported in the cases today. fears are being expressed by the health au- thoritics that an epidemic is likely to break out in the town because of the many contacts with the afflicted Bos- COG children before the smallpox symptoms showed up. The quarantine on the Roscoe home was started yes- terday morning and 9 policeman will probably be stationed at the home within the next day or so to enforce the provisions of the quarantine.
 pr. Moses Kupelan Of New Britain, who attended all of the cases dis covered in that city in the recent epi- demic, has been engaged to care for all patients in town. No expense will be spared in maintaining strict quar- antines on houses where cases have developed and all contacts with tl~ sick ones will be traced, it possible, and also placed iT quarantine.
 lt became known today that J. Eastwood, ono of the proprietors Of the grocery store on West Main street, will probably be released from quar- antine tomorrow. He was vsccinated some time ago and there ia little dam ger that he will contract the disease. He was .vaccinated again yesterday with tho method by which the doctors will be able 10 tell within ts honrc whether he Is immune or not. Dr. J. N. I.amphcr of tho state health depart mont, who investigated the cases here, stated that there is absolutely no dan- ger of contraction from the men who worked in tho store and people would be foolish Co believe that there could bn any connection between the store and the smellpoy cases. it was point ed out that James Roscoe who was employed in the store had left before the case had developed thercb? stop ping any chance of there being any contamination in the store itself. He said that If there was the least danger of a spread Of the disease from the store. the placewould have been closed but the place will remain open just the same. Mir. Foran will be kept in quarantine because he was not vac ciBate1.
 Dr. Bull stated that the order affect ing the school children will be strictly enforced. All children in the town will have 10 be vaccinatsd by May c6 or they will be excluded from school. At the same time, however, each child must have permit from it's parents to be Naecinated.
 Factory doctors were kept busy this lftssEf who sought to be vaccinated and with the rush that has been started. it won't be long before nearly every resident in town is vaccinated.
