However, Russell got the call

time to ease Whitehill out of the
picture. No disgrace to Whitehill
in having to leave the field. He
simply was not in condition.

see a lot more like it this year.

in the first inning. With Cramer

Earl Whitehill was the persona

years.
Both promise to continue as
topnotch diamonders when they
leave Central. For college baseball
will be their next step in the
realm of sport-Columbia Univer-
sity for Shorty, and University Of
Virginia for Lefty.
Shorty is a shortstop. Lefty is
an outfielder. Shorty's first year
was his best. At that time he was
the sensation of the interhigh Sc.
ries, both afield and at bat.
A leg injury handicapped him
the following season and ever
since he's attempted to reach the
form he enjoyed in 1881. Despite
the handicaps he's still great
little ball player.
Lefty Well Known
Gefty's efforts in the inter.
high series are known by every
scholastic fan interested in base
ball. He hasn't missed being Sc
1ected All-High in three years,
while he hasn't missed making
things pretty uncomfortable for
opposing pitchers in every game
he's played, whether it's been
competition in the inter-high Sc
ries or outside contests. He's that
powerful a hitter.
Both lads are rather small,
Shorty particularly. But they
are stockily built youngsters who
give the impression that plenty
of stamina is in their makeup
that necessity every ball player
must have to get along.
Shorty and Lefty must wait
until after the Easter holidays to
play again now, for Coach Jack
Ray hasn't arranged any games
until that time. However, the
team will hold practice sessions
during the holiday week to keep
in condition for important games
later.

 ton, to Induce Students Religious Belief Is Cause

NorwIak, Oct. 23.-Orville Denim gef, 14-years-old junior high school pupil in Norwalk, who refused to salute an. American flag at a school assembly, will not be prose- 'cuted for his act, Superintendent of Schools Philip A. Jakob of Nor walk said Monday. "Our problem is to try to educate the boy into changing his attitude, not to pros- ecute him." the head of the school system declared.
 The disposition of the incident differs from similar event this month in Lynn, Mass. There, the school committee voted unani- mously to expel Carleton B. Nich- ols, Jr., 8, who had refused to swear his allegiance to the flag.
 Religious belief in both cases was responsible for the refusals to sal- ute the flag. The pupils and their parents are members of Jehovah's Witnesses.
 In Saugus, Mass, the school com- mittee two weeks ago heard charges against four children in one family who had refused to pledge alle- glance to the flag but is not to take action until the attorney general of the state gives an opinion.
 Explaining his attitude, the Nor walk superintendent said: "The Constitution of the United States is based upon freedom of religious worship. The youth, fine student is simply carrying out his religious convictions to which we cannot ob- jec.."

 The boy has been banned from school assemblies, but the edict is only temporary, Superintendent Jakob said.
 MT. and Mrs. Stephen Deninger of Cranbury uphold the action of their son and their two other children, Eileen 12, and Emma, 9. who also refuse to salute the flag.

EDWARD KENNY Late Spanish War Veter- an, Native of Chesh- ire, Once Resided on Wall Street.
 BY THE OTJT EASTER
BY THE OUT EASTER

Not many people now living Out East knew Edward Kenny, the Spanish War veteran, who died last week, and was buried from the Bergin undertaking establishment. But the fact is that when Eddie was only a boy, he was brought to Water bury from his birthplace in Cheshire by his good mother and father and lived with the family on Wall street, on the north side of the same house where the Martin Bergin fam- lily once lived. Therefore, Ed dies boyhood days were spent out in our section.
 The Kennys were exceptional neighbors. The father, Bryan, was 8 Confederate soldier, a stone mason by trade, and for years was employed by the Chatfields, old time contra ctors. There were several brothers and sisters. including Bill and Tom, both of whom are now dead. Two sisters survive, in- cluding Mrs. Elizabeth Kennedy of this city.
 The families living on Wall street at the time the Kennys resided there included the De- laneys, Monzanis, Towards, Rafters, Hymns, Cordens, Lea ,heys. Tynans, Myers, Farrells, Savers, Glynns, Learys, Higgins, Brickleys, Cullens, Derwins and the Johnsons.
 Eddie Kenny was g hkeable young man, courteous and hon. est. He enlisted when only a boy, and his army recor was much to his credit. With other boys of the time, he delighted in taking 8 trip by train from the Meriden depot to Cheshire, to show his comrades the old home where he was born, and to visit relatives. The cost of the round trip for the train ride was 20 cents, and every boy outs here during the early nineties made 1t at least once a week, with Eddie as the show man of the "venturous ride"

supply the public with nursing at it's own price has resulted in send- ing those with little or no training to the home cases. Some of the commercial registries are lax in checking the nurses credentials, thus making it possible for those who cannot qualify for registration to pose as registered nurses"
 As far as could be learned this morning Waterbury has only one such agency, managed by Mrs. Eliz- abeth Lally of 347 North Main street. Mrs. Lally refused to com- ment on the associations report.
 Study Made
 Data released in the report was gathered after an exhaustive study authorized by the associations com-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-23

mittee on the distribution of nurs- ing service. The study was un- dertaken because of widespread u1- employment among registered nurses.
 Continuing its attack on commer- cial registries the report states: ;
 "The registry is usually in a pri- vate home some distance from the center of the town; the office is in the living room of the home or apartment; the atmosphere is usu- ally not business like or profes- sional and the registrar is usually housekeeper with the registry work something to do on the side.
 Because no plan to supply the public with care by registered pri- vate duty nurses, at a moderate cost, has been worked out, it is quite nat ural for some people to feel that registered nurses are nercenary, and that true service is being taken out of nursing.
 "The reluctance of the registered nurse to do nursing in the home may be the foundation for this feel ing, and this is in turn due to the fact that student nurses are not getting special training for nursing in the homes. Of late years schools of nursing, 1t appears, have not given any special emphasis in the curriculum to this branch of nurs- ing, although at one school we found that the students were taught to consider nursing in the home as an essential part of their career and were told to look forward to it with expectancy.
 We hear it said repeatedly that registered nurses will not take cases where they must be on duty "A hours even where people are very i'll, and at such times the registrar says to the person calling for 8 nurse: I cannot get a registered nurse to take the case so I will send you a good practical nurse"
 Practical Nurse."
 The report states that many dif- ferent kinds of nurses are being sent out from the commercial regis- tries. It particularly condemns the practical nurse," as one who usual ly has had no training and are real- ly no more than housekeepers.
 It has been disclosed that two laymen have plans for starting a central place from which nurses may be secured. One of these places provides a central office and two large houses in which the nurses would live.
 "The initiative for supplying the public with registered nurse care" the survey continues" should be the concern and business of the private duty nurses and any plan for such should be operated on 8 professional. not commercial basis"
 It is expected that the subject will be thoroughly discussed at the autumn meeting of the State asso- citation today at the Mohican hotel in New London. Representatives of both local hospitals and of the local public health nursing service will attend the session.
 Delegates.
 Delegates from the Visiting Nur- ses' association will include Miss Elizabeth Leger, Miss Hida Ericson, Miss Helen Farrell, Miss Mary Ells- worth. Miss Elizabeth Logue, Miss Mary Farrar and Miss Florence Whipple, director. Miss Victoria Lei brech, commander, will preside at the meeting of the Connecticut Branch of World War Nurses, also at the Mohican Hotel. +a.
