Fifty-Fifty Break
 For State Campers
Over Half the Connecticut Open-Air, Summer Camps
 Rated Good By Health Authorities

Hartford, Nov. 17.--Of the 167 summer camps located on the hills, streams and lakes of Connecticut's 's scenic countryside during the past season only slightly more than 50 per cent were rated by the Con- necticut state department of health as being in good condition from the viewpoint of sanitation. tabula- ton of the results of the depart ment's inspection shows.
 In some cases. however. camps were given n poor rating because they were using milk which was neither from tuberculin tested cows nor pasteurized and many were so rated with the stipulation that they might, receive q listing as good in all other respects.
 Those camps which were given ratings as poor or fair were those which generally violated one or more of the regulations in the code in which the department has prescribed minimum requirements for good sanitation. Compliance with these regulations Is checked by visits to all camps during the summer by two inspectors of the utpuTtuitht HI COVpSEutAVH WttH lO- cal health officers.
 The inspection Is made strictly from the viewpoint of sanitation. since the department does not con cern itself with other important features which might enter into a comparison of the various camps. Therefore, the department cannot recommend one camp over another. [ lLasplaA lx, lx.aa ,aU lsat n naaa xuhax, a department inspector pointed out flaws in annitntion at q camp. those in charge immediately took steps to correct the situation. Very often, n camp at. first rated fair or poor will make the necessary alterations and ask for q second in- spection after which 1t enters the list of first class locations from the sanitary standpoint.
 In Inspecting the summer camps. the department laid special em- phasls on several features. Among them was the existence of a safe and adequate water supply. The drinking supply must be absolutely free from pollution. Likewise. the bathing place must be clear of dangerous contamination.
 Waste and garbage disposal rec ceived careful scrutiny. Camps equipped with flush toilets must be equipped with proper treatment tanks and seepage from the tanks must be cared for 50 as to avoid any water supply or creating a nuisance. Other types of toilets must be given careful main tenance to safeguard nearby water supplies and to prevent infection of food from waste materials by files or other means
 Food handling was thoroughly investigated, including provisions for an adequate supply of hot WI. ter for dlssl washing and the facili. ties for storage Of food. ClennlIs ness of refriKernt0rh and protection 0f the food from Hes wan Insisted

New York. Nov 17-Connecticut sounds the New England keynote by saying that collections are found to be good and "alI through this state there Is an indication of better business feeling and a leck In Waterbury, however, are slowing drastic retrenchments both in re- duction of help and wages"
 Continued resistance to further drops is evidenced in the monthly survey of sales and collections in 115 of the nations leading trade centers, as published to-day in the November issue of Credit and Financial Management, official publication of the National Asso- ciation of Credit Men.
 Slight Improvements In many sections of the country in both sales and collections are revealed in this months survey which main- tains the continued strengthening In the foundation for collection and sales volumes evidenced the month before.
 For the third consecutive month approximately 82 per cent of the correspondents report fair Dalcs conditions, but collections. in gem erai show q decrease of per cent in the slow column and m in- crease of 6 per cent in the fair col umn. Good collections are re- vealed in Washington. D. C., Terre Haute, Ind, and Utica, N. Y. Utica thus leads the cities of the nation in the months roll of honor be- cause 1t Is the only city. of the 115 reporting, to record good sales conditions.
 supplementary comments from the correspondents. bring out the fact that New England as a section Is feeling 0 modified upturn which in the past two weeks has also been in evidence in the middle west, which has been affected favorably by the rise in silver, wheat and oil prices.

SALVATION ARMY
 TO HELP POOR
New as in Past Aiming to Make Needy Families
 Happy
KETTLES AT CORNERS

For many years the Salvation Army in Waterbury has been en- deavoring to relieve some of the existing need that has been found in this city. The money raised in the annual Campaign has been sufficient to take care of the regu- lar relief work. and they desire to thank the public for the way they have assisted financially.
 The Salvation Army has also endeavored to bring some of the seasons joy to the hearts and homes of the less fortunate at the Thanksgiving season. This is what Ensign Alexander Mack, Officer in charge of the work in Waterbury, would like to bring to the atten- ton of the public at this time.
 Last year. 1t is stated from the mately three hundred families were supplied with Thanksgiving dinners, and it would seem us though this year, this number might be outdone. This is, of course, due to the unemployment situation through which we are now passing. To meet this need, the Salvation Army depends en- tireiy upon the public spirited cit- izens of this community. Kettles have been placed at various cor ners in the city to receive the con tributions to help the Army do It's Thanksgiving work. and Ensign Mack would appreciate a whole hearted response to this appeal. Anyone wishing to mail their con- tribution to the local headquarters. please remember to make your check payable to the Salvation Army of Waterbury. and mall the same to 18 Abbott avenuea
 During the months of August. September and october, the Salvn- ton Army has been doing It's share of assisting the unemployed. Some 4,553 persons were given help of various kinds during the above mentioned period. This figure no doubt will bespeak the need of those who are in q position to help to give to charitable organiza- tions such as tho Salvation Army. so that the unemployed need not suffer too severely.
 REMEMBER - The Salvation Army is depending upon the public to keep the kettles boiling, so that they can meet the need of the less fortunate.

 Quality of the milk supply was determined with the cooperation of the state dariy and food commis- sionor. No camp was given Il ,satis- factory rating unless 1t used pas teurized milk or at least milk from tuberculin tested cows.
 Sleeping quarters were checked and the general surroundings ob- served from the sanitation view point. Facilities for medical and nursing attention and for the isola- ton of persons taken i'll were care- fully surveyed.

 You could not step to the corner chain store and order a list of staples to be delivered.
 You could not phone your butcher for meat and vegetables.
 You would have to go in person for everything, bring 1t home your self and often have to wait in queue for hours to buy milk, pota- toes, fresh fish and the like. More over, there might be nothing that you want left by the time your turn comes.
