WARNING AGAINST
 FLYING OF KITES
Power Co Officials List Precautions and Parents
 Should Tell Children
BEWARE OF ALL WIRES

Kite flying, the healthful out door sport of childhood at this sea- son of the year, may result in in- jury and even death unlessait is practiced in the proper places and with a generous amount of precau- tion, officials of the light and pow CT companies in Connecticut warned to-day.
 The danger lies in the fact that kites or the strings to which they are attached may easily come into contact with or become entangled with electrical wires. Parents should guard their children against this and make certain, if they indulge in the sport of kite flying, that it is done in places free from danger and with equipment that will not subject them to elec- trical shocks.
 If tho following suggestions are observed, there is little danger for the young enthusiasts:
 Do not fly your kite near elec- tric, telephone or trolley wires.
 Do not use wire or tinsel twlne of any sort--use cotton string and don't forget that even cotton string, when wet, become a con- ductor of electricity and will cause as much damage as wire if brought into contact with electric wires.
 Do not use a kite with metal ribs.
 Do not attempt to climb poles or knock down wire entangled kites with stones: and
 Do not let your kite go over radio aerials.

Visiting Nurses Assn
 Plans Public Drive
Faces Financial Crisis President Upson Explains Situation Withdrawal From Field Would Shift Burden to City-New Staff Elected

"The National Organization of
 Public Health Nursing advises us that Waterbury, in order to be
 perfect in respect to its public
 health nursing program, should
 have an organization twice our
 size. Yet, we are doing a won- derful work with what we have,
 and with what funds we have been able to raise in the past. Witness these figures for 1892 to prove it. Our nurses made in all 35,435 wis.,
 its; 12,754 of these were for acute
 illnesses; 510 were for chronic ill.,
 nesses; 8,798 were maternity cases;
 and 13,373 were health education
 visits. The balance was distrib-
 uted over We'll Baby conferences,
 ante partum and post pRrtum clin-
 ics, mothers clubs, and patients
 "carried over" from 1881.
 "The City of Waterbury, through it's finance committee, ad- vised us in December that. due to the straight and narrow lines the
 city is forced to travel during
 these precarious days, no donation
 towards our work is possible from city funds. May l state here, we are the only city in the state of anywhere near our size not recelV- ing municipal aid. It is nationai- ly admitted that public health nursing has grown to be a public
 charge, and we are amopg the very few in the United States not re- ceiving one cent Of municipal funds. If we were forced to-day
 to close our association, there is
 no doubt that the city would have to establish similar service at q
 cost much higher than that
 amount for which we asked from 1t.
 May I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks, as well as that of the entire board, for the remarkable attitude towards duty rendered by our staff this past year. We are cognizant of the fact that your work increased, that your pay decreased. We appreci- ate your devotion to your profess sion.
 May I also express our sincere thanks to the three directors, pr John N. Lewis, Elton Wayland, and Frank English, whose terms expire to-day, for the well performed services rendered this | organization"

THE VICTORY FUND
 MUST BE RAISED
Mayor Hayes Has Called Meeting of Committee | Monday Night
IN THE CITY HALL

To discuss plans which will speed up the local campaign to collect $2.500 of the states quota asked by the national democratic finance committee, Mayor Frank Hayes has called a meeting of dis trict chairmen for next Monday evening in the aldermanic cham Der.
 Due to the bank holiday the work of obtaining contributions was considerably slowed up with the result that Waterbury partic- ularly fell by the wayside in sub scribing its share. New Haven and Bridgeport have made splendid showings raising their quotas promptly and. with every indica- ton of reserve strength, if neces- sary. As state leaders look to Wa terbury to maintain its record of cooperation and generosity, May or Hayes has called a special ses- sion to "pep" up the canvassers for the final week. Some of the dis tricts, have responded gratifyingly, but in other sectors the showing failed to measure up to expecta- tions. As chairman of the com mittee selected by Dr Edward Dolan of Manchester. Mayor Hayes has voiced his belief that Water bury will come through.
 More than. half of the $2,500 has been collected. Tn view of prom ises made by prominent democrats, the committee feels that on its re- check the city will be found among the communities with its full quota subscribed.
 Connecticut has been asked by National Chairman James A. Far ley to contribute to the campaign to meet the obligations incurred in making the "new deap with Pres ident Roosevelt possible. Funds are also needed to carry out plans for the future success of the demo- cratic party.
 The chairman of the various dis tricts invited to attend include: District Thomas c. Smith; o. John H. Crary; 3-Charles Sciullo; 4-Mayor Frank Hayes; 5-Attor- ney Carmine Cipriano; 6-James Burns; 7-Harold Begley: S-Ar- thur J. Lunny: 9-William T.
