Medico for 52 Years-Items.
 Dr. George F. Cook, Plainyille
 health officer. stated today that so
 far no official complaint has reached
 him and he has heard of none reaching any other town official re- garding the dangers to health at the local pools used for swimming pur- poses. the pool in Norton park and Harts pond.
 Earlier in the week it was inti- mated that certain residents might
 complain about the use of the two
 places for swimming purposes be- cause of the fact that there are no
 provisions in either place for run
 ming water and it was feared that this condition might affect the health of those using the ponds.
 However, Dr. Cook issues a warn
 ing 10 ali bathers using the places as swimming pools that they are
 doing so at their own risk Neither
 of these pools is operated by town
 or private parties as swimming pools" the doctor said. and noth-
 ing can be done by the health au- thorities with regard to the places.
 Neither Harts pond nor the pool
 in Norton park is an ideal place for
 bathing but We have taken steps to have weekly test of the water in
 both places made and we have not
 ho, 1t 1oyr n ha NC luted enough to be unsafe. However,
 I do not recommend them as bath ing places.
 Dr. Cook intimated that if there
 were complaints with regard 10 the places. some official action might be taken to gee that there is a change Of water in them. At the present time. many bathers are using both places daily in the indulgence of
 their favorte summer sport and most Of them are paying no atten- tion to the intimatons that the
 water might not be safe.
 Dr. Cooks pronouncement with regard to the weekly test should tend 10 satisfy those who have in terestcd themselves in the conditions about both places that the waters are being closely watched. At the first sign of pollution or stagnation the health officer may be relied up on to post the places.
