GIRLS' CLUB GIVES 125 DINNERS
SWIMMING POOLS OF CONNECTICUT
State to See That They Are Kept in Sanitary
 Condition
INSPECTION BEING MADE

Vast improvement in the main- tenance of sanitary conditions at the many Connecticut swimming pools has taken place since the in- auguration of periodic check-up by state and local health authorities, the state department of health re- ported to-day following the com pletion of it's survey of indoor swimming and bathing facilities. The department likewise stated that health authorities have been assisted by whole hearted coopera- tion on the part of the majority of swimming pool managements.
 In making it's survey during the recent fall months, the department has dispatched sanitary engineer to visit each pool for the purpose of studying the details of operation and collecting samples of the water for analysis. A complete report of the engineers findings was then sent to the pool authorities for their guidance in correcting any flaws detected in the operation which might, unless checked, be- come injurious to the health of patrons. The department period ically examined a large number of pool water samples submitted by focal health officers. Some of the larger Connecticut city health. de- partments make regular analyses of their local swimming pool waters.
 All pools must comply with the state sanitary code in its require- ments for swimming pool opera tion. These requirements deal With meteorological quality of the wa ter. water clarity, alkalinity or the water, cleanliness of dressing rooms and other appurtenances, the tax ing of cleansing bath before use of the pool and the exclusion of nersons known or suspected to be afflicted with communicable dis ease. Plans for new swimming pools must be approved by the state department of health.
 Most indoor pools In Connecti- cut are of the re-circulation type, the pool being equipped with ap-- paratus for chemical treatment and filtration of the water after It's
 use in the pool, so that 1t may be returned for reuse after treat ment. A few of the pools are Of the fill and draw type. No matter what type of equipment Is used, proper operation requires that the one in charge of the pool be trained to make simple laboratory field tests. These tests enable him to prevent the water from becom- ing acid due to the effect of chem. ical treatment and to know that the amount of disinfectant is suf- ficient to destroy harmful bacteria without being so excessive as to cause undue. Irritation of the eyes and skin.
