 ing Past Week

Waterbury had a 100 per cent clean bill of health during the past week as far as communicable dis eases was concerned. This fact was disclosed in the weekly morbidity report of the state department of health issued today. Dr E. J. God frey, local health officer, upon rerusing the report, expressed sat isfaction that the health of the city is showing a very good picture.
 On the other hand. the state as whole did not present such 2 good picture. The number of d1ph- theria cases increased from two to three, scarlet fever from A to 53. measles from 30 to 49. typhoid fe- yer from zero to one and whoOplng cough from 27 to 37.
 New Haven county, of which Waterbury is a part. reported no diphtheria or typhoid fever cases during the past week. From this county Meriden reported 10 cases of whooping cough. Nine cases Of scarlet fever. including one in Naugatuck, were filed, and New Haven. itself, reported the only four cases of measles in the coun- ty. Bridgeport was the only city in the state to report typhoid fever
 Other reportable diseases fileG were: Bronchopneumonia 29: chickenpox. 90: German measles I: influenza, "A; humps, 122; lobar pneumonia, 39: trachoma, l: trich- inosis, q pulmonary tuberculosis, II: other forms of tuberculosis, 4: sonorrhea, 30; syphilis. A.

Weather, typical of winter, spring and summer, have been ex- perienced by the city during the past two weeks. The climax came at midnight, last night, when thunder and lightning storm, ac- companied by heavy rain, occurred. Today March winds blew but the sun was warm and the feeling that spring is near was in the minds of everybody.
 Following the severe thaws over the week end the city was prac- tically back to normal today. The Naugatuck and Mad rivers had re- ceded, somewhat, and there was no danger of them carrying away any local bridges or flooding any local lands. The highways were very clear today, due to the rain during the night.
 All in all, WNerburians today were waiting for the bluebirds to appear. Bird lovers reported that they were well pleased with the sweeping away of the snow and ice because the birds can new enjoy pickings once more. During the reriod that the ground was cov- cred with snow hundreds of local residents aided in feeding the birds however, by throwing crumbs on the tops of the drifts.
 The first rumble of thunder was heard about midnight. last night. but at 1918 o'clock this morning the blast of the thunder was suffi- cient to rattle windows. The light ming flashed frequently. However, the electrical storm did not last long. It was taken by many as an indication that the winter is break ing up and that an early spring will be experienced here.
 The rain, which fell heavily, did not do any considerable damage. The cold weather. plus the blizzard of two weeks ago, did all the dani- age that could be done, apparent iy. The Southern New England Telephone company and the Con- necticut Light and Power company today reported no damage as re- suit of the lightning.

Birt Speaks Tonight
 On Waterbury Plan''
Past Commander of COyle Post to Describe William
 Harris Methods to NOrwaIk Catholic Club

The Harris Plan," also known throughout the country as the Waterbury Plan" will be the sub- ject discussed this evening before the Catholic Club of Norwalk. The speaker will be Robert F. Birt, past commander of Corporal Frank Coyle Post of this city, who has devoted the past several weeks to assist in aiding depending ex-serv- ice men in obtaining recognition from the CWA.
 MT Birt is very familiar with the methods of William Harris, chairman of the Mutual Aid and CWA administrator of the Water bury district, and will explain how through public cooperation and subscriptions nearly $2,0O0,000 was collected and distributed. The plan calls for a proportional as- sessment of each wage earner and donations from industrial and large business corporations. Unprece- dented relief work has resulted without the City of Waterbury be- ing called upon to meet serious financial obligations. Other feat ures of the plan in which men and women skilled in various trades, shoe repairing, dress-making. mill linery and other occupations, will be discussed.
 During his visit to Norwalk, Mfr Birt will be the guest of Dr Will liam Tracy, ST, and his two sons, William Jr, and Edward. The Catholic Club of Norwalk is one of the community's best Known or ganizations. Many prominent citi- zens are interested in the plan of MT Harris, which has meant so much to the unemployed of the city of Waterbury.
