 Baldwin, the first cabinet minis ter to make public statement since the British debt note was sent to Washington, indicated yes- terday that the government expects the war debts questio nto be car ried over to the worl deconomic conference to meet here in 1893.
 In speech at Sunderland, Bald win said he was glad to think that Following the Lausanne confer America, we shall have an inter- can be convened in 1893.
 Baldwin said he was glad to think that Following the Lau- same conference and following this note to America, we shall have an international conference as soon as it can be convened in 1933."
 q have no doubt that Ameri- cans will give the note the most careful consideration, and I would say that as far as their govern ment is concerned. it will also give sympathetic consideration. They must kno wthat they stand to suf- fer, just as we stand to suffer, through continuation of this par ticular form of payment" Baldwin said.
 'I hope that at the international conference. this question will be settled. I hope also that as the result of the conference the world may be relieved of this particular form of payments, which is intolcr- able to debtor and creditor"

930 children were vaccinatcd at she clinics while over 25O received the protection from diphtheria disease germs of either toxoid or toxin-antitoxin. These clinics l feel sure serve real need in the community.
 Dental Service
 Two nurses serve as dental hy- gienists, one at the dental clinic at St Mary's hospital and the other visiting .he schools. These nurs- es alternate. School children arc educated in the art of cleansing their teeth and apparently enjoy each toothbrush Odrill. Tooth brushes are provided at a nominal fee when the occasion arises. Chil- dren found with defective teeth arc instructed to visit the clinic or to inform their parents of the need of the services of a private dentist. The children are also cautioned about having their teeth cleaned and thoroughly inspected after they finish school. There has been splendid cooperation upon the part of the officials. principals and teachers.
 Diphthcrla Immunization
 One of the most important branches of health department work is in the immunizaotin of persons from dreaded diseases. This fact is being proven each year and parents are cooperating with the health authorities in carrying out the idea successfully. It Is our belief that diphtheria ewould be absolutely eliminated ifSevery child was given toxoid or toxin-antitoXin during it's infancy or early child hood. Only two administrations are made of toxoid while three are made of toxin-antitoxin. There is every indication, even at this early stage, that public sentiment will soon permit enforcement of pro vision, wherein all children must undergo these methods of im- munization during infancy or early childhood and over a period of years. The material used in this work of immunization is Furnished free by the state department of health. During the past fiscal year over 1000 children received immunization in the schools and close to 300 in the pre-school clinics.

An outline of the proposed plans ot .-.s ssI.c committee of the Fra ternpl order of Eagles to have the incoming General Assembly of 1883 take favorable action on an old Age Pension bill for Con- necticut will be given here Thurs day evening, Decembcr 18th, by State Senator-elect Julius Stremiau of Mefiden.

 It is expected that the commis- sion will make known the result of it's survey very shortly. Water bury and other cities of the state have been investigated as to ex- pense in maintaining the city home at Brookside. its contributions to state and county institutions and the number of persons eligible to the privileges of an old age pen sion.
 MT Stremlau is well know or ganizer. As a member of the state senate his presence and influence are expected to aid in the success of the bill. Senators Joseph Law Tor and Joseph Hackett of this city are in favor of the measure. Other newly elected senators are reported to be friendly inclined.
 A recent meeting of the Eagles state committee was held here. Since that session speakers have been touring the state addressing not only aeries of Eagles. but members of various other frater-

Totals .... ... ..7O7 1S6
 There was q considerable de- crease in the number of communi- cable disease cases reported dur- ing the past year as compared to the total for the previous year. The total for 1881 was 1921 and for 1892, 7O7. There werc only lS6 deaths from communicable diseases during the past fiscal year compared to 210 in 1881. Tn 1931 Waterbury experienced out breaks of measles, typhoid fever and poliomyelitis. but was more fortunate during the past year. It is gratifying to note a decrease in .the number of diphtheria and scar let fever cases also. Immunization 'of school children in schools and at the pre-school clinics is un- doubtedly responsible for prevent ing outbreaks of diphtheria. Par ents are becoming cognizant of the benefit derived from immunization and are cooperating admirably.
