Health Officers Approve Protec.
 tion Against Smallpox

A state statute making vacclnation against smallpox compulsory is the most effective method of fighting that disease, members of the State Public Health association. agreed at their spring meeting yesterday at the Burritt hotel
 Discussion of smallpox, particular y the epidemics in thls city in 1924 and ln Middletown last year. as well as minor outbreaks in Bristol and elsewhere. was led by Dr. Willard knoVlton of the state department of health. He mentioned the excel fence of the cooperation given by this city Tn vaccinations and urged that other cities and towns adopt ordi- nahces requiring this preventive measure. Health uperintendents of smaller towns pointed out the diff- cultles they would encounter and of the many advantages that would come with a state law.
 some Of the physicians reported dlhculty in obtaining successful vac
  clnatlons. but it was reminded that the virus, If not kept at the proper temperature, loses it's effectlvnees and It was agreed that this was probably the cause. Dr. R. w. Pull len superintendent of health here. remarked that he has been vaccinat ed more than 16o times. but since q successful vaccination Tn childhood, winch has apparently given him complete immunity. none Of the others has responded.
