 The election of MT. Rossberg and Miss Curtin took place at a meeting Of the directors at noon today. This gives the organization two vice. presidents. the other being Police Commissioner Michael J. Bannan.
 Mir. Rossberg has been interested in bank affairs in New Britain for a number of years. For 12 years he was chairman of the board Of water commissioners. He was the first or sanitation secretary Of the Con- mercial Trust Co.,, when it was or ganized 12 years ago. and was one of the members Of the committee re- sponsible for bringing to this city John c. Loomis, now president of that institution.
 He was a director of the Peoples Savings in it's early days and for some time was one Of the officers of the bank. He has been with the Fidelity Industrial bank ever since it was organized. He was a mem Der of the common council for seven years.
 Mr. Rossberg probably Is better known for his extensive knowledge Of botany and geology and is con- sidered the best authority on these subjects in this vicinity. During the World war under the administration of Mayor George 4. Qugley he was chairman Of the municipal home gardens committee.
 Under the situation which has ex- isted, the bylaws of the bank per init only the president and vice president to approve loans. Tn the absence of President Joseph NJ. Chernoff it has been necessary here tofore to call MT. Bannan to the bank for that purpose. MT. Ross berg, who has been the expert ap- praiser for the bank, now will be enabled to approve loans and will have his desk at the bank.
 Miss Curtin enjoys the distinction, according to local bankers, of being the first woman bank official in New Britain, and one Of the only two women bank officers in Connecticut.

HEALTH MENACE

Small Town Milk Supplies Called
 Dangerous

New York. Dec. 10. F1Unpas- teurized. dirty milk constitutes a menace to the health of the 25,000,- GOO people living in the so-called small towns of the United States, a survey completed by the American Child Association indicates.
 If We may use milk supply con- trol as an indication of sanitary de- Yelopment," says pr. Samuel J. Crumbine. general executive of the Association, health department practice of the small town is still in its infancy. Its milk supply is little better in sanitary quality than 1t would have been if the process of pasteurization had never been discovered. The initial high bac- , terial count of the milk is increas- ed by failure to ice the supply. and protection of danger from infection by men and cattle is not prevented by pasteurization"
 pr. Crumhine and Dr. Dorothy F. Holland. staff associate, obtained information on the milk supplies of 142 small towns and cities re- garded as representative of the en- tire country. Ninety-seven of the 117 communities giving data on the extent of pasteurization reported that they were taking no such pre- caution. None had 40 per cent or more of its milk supply pasteurized.
 The results of the bacteriolog- ical analyses indicate immediate need for effective milk control" pr. Crumbin asserts. An aver age of 25 per cent of the supplies examined contained 100000 or more bacteria per cubic centimeter; an
New Britain herald., 1927-12-15

average of 70 per cent of the SUD- plies examined contained 100000 or more bacteria per cubic centime- ter. F'ifty-one cities gave a posi- tive test for the bacteria present in COW manure in 50 per cent or more, 21 cities a positive test in 75 per cent or more of their supplies examined.
 ''The milk supplies were on the whole dirty, according to physical standards. In only two of the towns and cities tested were 75 per cent or more of the supplies sub jected to the sediment test found to be clean or fairly clean Only 13 cities had 50 per cent or more of their supplies clean or fairly clean
 Tn 103 of the towns and cities surveyed none of the supplies ex- amined were iced. Only nine cities had 50 per cent or more of their supplies iced, and in Il cities more than half of the milk was being de- livered at temperatures of over 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
 ''The condition in large cities presents a striking contrast. Thir- ty of 61 cities of over 100000 popu- lation reported 90 per cent or more of their supplies pasteurized. But even the large city falls short of the goal, 100 per cent pasteuriza- tion. which must be attained If we are to have a safe milk supply"
 'The danger of infection of con- sumers of tuberculous cattle is real one fin the places covered by the survey" Dr. Crumbine declares. Only 4S per cent of the cities re- ported that the cattle supplying their milk had been tuberculin test ed within a year"

Findings Of Science Help Scien-
 tiiC Adventures

Stockholm, Dec. Is Pl-Due tc science not only is making life easi- CT and more comfortable in civilized communities. 1t Is making the task of the explorer less difficult and his accomplishments more certain.
 When Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar, di- rector of the United States Geo. logical Survey station at the Mount kilauea Volcanic Laboratory, in Hawaii, leads National Geograph- io Society expedition to the Paw loff Volcano group of islands off the Alaskan peninsula, next summer, they will be equipped with con- veniences which explorers a few years ago did not dream of.
 Test Amphibian Boat
 In addition to pr. Jaggar. one Of the foremost volcanologists in the world. the party will include spe- cialists in physiography. wild life and botany. The personnel has not been selected. but plans for equipping the expedition are al- ready under way.
 If tests now being made prove 1t satisfactory, the scientists also will have an amphibian boat to facilitate their movement over land and water. During a reconnaissance of the Alaskan peninsula this sum- mer, pr. Jaggar found that such a ;olo hA oI,,o hoy being numerous and making q motor boat desirable, while the beaches and cinder lowlands offer excellent natural highways for q motor car. Since luggage is an even more important considera tion on a trip to Americas last frontiH than 1t is on pleasure excursion or a business journey, the advan- tage of being able to get along on land or water with a single vehicle is obvious.
 Once Immigrant Highway
 The Pavlof group is west of Mount Katmai, Alaska. the worlds largest active volcano, and is part of the long line of similar islands which provided a highway for emi- grafton from Siberia to this con- tinent long before the dawn of written history. The eruption of Mount Katmal in 1912 is estimated to have produced the second loud est noise in the memory of the race.
 The loudest may have been the explosion of Mount Pelee in the West Indies in 1902. when San Pierre. Martinique. was wiped out with the loss of 30,000 lives and 19 vessels. It was to investigate this disaster that Dr. Jaggar made his first voyage of investigation under the auspices of the National Society.
