The prevalence of contagious dis cases in Plainville has led the health conference which was to have been held here Friday afternoon. Dr. George F. Cook, the health officer. announced today. There are bout 30 cases of vhooping cough in the town, some 12 of chicken pox. one of scarlet fever. and an innumorable number of colds and grippe cases.
 Because of this it was felt by Dr. Cook that conference, bringing to- gether small children from all over | the town. would be far more dang erous than beneficial. They there- upon consulted with the Plainville Public Health Nursing associa ton and with Dr. Elizab beth 1ngra ham of the state department of health. both corroborating his views. It was con- sequcntly decided to call off the conference
 Despite Inc action of the health authorities, the situation here is considered by no means alarming because the diseases prevalent are com paratively minor ones. No more | conferences will be held during April, the nursing association an- nounced today
