CHRISTMAS SEAL
PROGRAM COVERS
A WIDE RANGE

An extensive tuberculin testing and
X-ray program in schools throughout
Pine county has been carried on by
local physicians under the direction
of DR.. F.. F.. Callahan of Pokegama
Sanatorium. During the past two
years approximately $275 of Christ
mas seal funds have been used to as
sist in these surveys. Similar pro-
jects were carried on in Pine county
during 1880 and in Askov and Brook
Park in 1882.
The school children of Brook Park
were inspected by Miss Mabel John
son. Christmas seal nurse, in 1898.
in connection with this survey health
talks were given in the school as we'll
as before an evening ParentTeacher
Association meeting. A similar pro-
ject will be conducted in Brook Park
soon.
In 1891 Infants and Children's
Clinics were held in Hinckley and
Willow River. At Pine City and
Sandstone tuberculosis clinics were
conducted that year. Through Christ
mas seal funds scales have been pro-
vided for the schools at Hinc kley,
Rock Creek and Askov. In addition
a portable scale was sent to the coun-
ty superintendent in 1894. for use in
the CWS nursing project. Each year
the Pine County Public Health Asso-
citation arranges a luncheon for rural
teachers during their annual insti-
tute. At these luncheons health talks
have been given by physicians and
Christmas seal workers.
DR.. w. A. O'Brien of the University
Of Minnesota. member of the Christ
mas Seal Speakers bureau. gave a
health talk at meeting of the Par
ent-Teacher Association in Brook
Park last spring. Each year Every
body's Health" is sent to all the
schools in Pine county. Included in

Larger Butter Importation.

viously encouraged such exports.
Larger Butter Importation.
Imports of butter into the United
States for the year July 1. 1884, to
June 80, 1885, inclusive totaled 22,-
$4,000 pounds as compared with 763,-
900 pounds imported during the cor
responding period year earlier.
This was the largest annual importa-
ton since 1924 when 29,466, 900
pounds were imported over a tariff
wall of cents. and 34,344 900 pounds
imported in 1920-21 when the tariff
duty was cents per pound. This
volume of butter imported replaced
only 81 per cent of the decrease Of
104, $4,000 pounds of butter due to
drouth conditions. 1t represented
less than one-fourth (23 per cent)
of the increase in oleomargarine pro-
duction during the first eight months
of 1885. For the first seven months
of this year, 23,257,O 900 pounds of but
ter were imported. Of this amount,
17,3S3,O00 pounds were imported dur
ing the first four months when the
margin between domestic and foreign
price was the widest. The heaviest
importation for a single month came
in April when S,S6O,OOO pounds were
imported with the margin of 1872
cents. Relatively heavy imports con-
tinued through May and June 1885,
900 pounds and 1,437,000 pounds re-
spectively) in spite of the drop of the
margin to 1913 cents for May and 5.3
cents for June but have declined ma
terially since. A drop in the domes-
tic price or rise in the foreign price
will tend to stop importation. An
increase in the import duty may also
stop imports but may react unfavor-
ably on our exports.
Periods of high butter prices tend
to stimulate the use of substitutes.
Thus the output of oleomargarine for
the first eight months of 1885 was
248. 100000 pounds compared with
$50. 900,0 900 pounds for the correspond
ing months of 1884. an increase Of
100000 pounds, or 64.6 per cent.
This casts doubt upon the desirabilfty
of forcing butter to high levels for
temporary periods of shortage. Some
appear to believe the remedy to be
one of abolishing the use of substi-
tutes. This would be difficult to ac-
complish in view of the use of domes-
tic fats and oils in the manufacture
of oleomargarine Moreover, because
of the difference in price, butter can
not be expected to replace oleomar-
garine pound for pound. 1t appears
that the best prospects of maintain
ing satisfactory butter prices lie in
keeping production within bounds and
in recovery of business activity with
resultant recovery in employment and
in consumer buying power.
Years Outlook Bright.
The outlook for the dairyman dur
ing 1896 will be more favorable than
year ago. Feed costs are lower due
to more liberal supplies. and prob
ably will continue low through 1896.
The number of milk cows on farms
January 1, 1896 promises to be 600,-
900 smaller than year ago with

Washington, April 18.-UP) - A new deal in federal punishment of recalcitrant business-compar- able to keeping pupils in after schools in force at the federal alcohol control administration. It consists of locking their plants, whether giant distillery or obscure wholesaler, and keeping them in- operative for i've to 90 days.
 Over 2,OO0 Charges
 The FACA has filed more than 2,0O0 cases against members of tho liquor industry and has instituted about 500 suspension orders, based on charges of mislabeling whiskey. exuberant advertising and failure to pay dues to the code authorities, The most recent suspension closed for five days the plant of the Hill- crest Distilling Co.,, Lawrenceburg, Ind, subsidiary of Joseph r.. Seagram & Sons. Director Joseph 1T. Choate, J1'., of the FACA said he ordered the suspension because the firm sold whiskey containing 15 per cent four-year-old liquor and five per cent six months old liquor and labeled it to indicate all the Whiskey was four years old. The company said misunder- standing resulted in the misleading label.
 He made the Bates Importins company of New York close shop for 15 days because 1t gave dis counts, violating code regulations. and Argent & Co.,, Inc, of New York, 3O' days because it had giv- en an expensive gift--al wine list costing more than $400--to ho- tel.

CUARDSMEN ARE SEARCHING FOR
 MISSING WOMAN
Cavalrymen Also Join the Posses Who Are Hunt- :,
 ing Mrs Gordon

Pennington, Conn, April 19-(U. P.)-National guardsmen and cavalrymen to-day joined the search for Mrs Andrew Gordon, young society matron, as posse of more than 200 concentrated at nearby Bloomfield where she was reported seen almost eight hours af ter she disappeared the night of April 10.
 Infantrymen arrived here from Hartford in busses early to-day and troopers from Troop B. from their armory at West. Hartford. They were joined by private riders from the Avon school.
 Failure of bloodhounds and a Mountain Airdale to pick her trail after she had been tracked to an es- tate on the outskirts of town. led to temporary abandonment of the search at Pennington.
 Associate Justice John W. Banks of the state supreme court, an uncle of the missing woman, and her husband, Andrew Gordon, con. ferred with state and local police authorities in directing the hunt.
 Hope dwindled that she would be Hound alive. When she left home to go to drug store to obs tain q prescription for her two and one-half months old daughter, she wore only light spring suit. and no coat and hat.
 Until the day she vanished she had been q patient at 8 Hartford hosiptal for mental disturbance which set in following the birth of the child January 30. It was be- lieved she suffered an amnesia at- tack and wandered into the woods or Farmington river.
 s A strong river current offered the possibility her body might have been carried far to the south if she had fallen In.

l of 5% Pay Cuts in Naugatuck Looms
Educational Work Of
 Auxiliary Described
Program in Interest of War Orphans Interestingly Re-
 viewed By Miss Shanahan Over Radio Yesterday

Miss Lucy Shannahan, state chairman of the American Legion auxiliary committee on education for war orphans, in special radio interview over station WATR yes- terday afternoon outlined the pur- poses of the program which she is directing and also explained the history of the plan and it's future possibilities. William T. Earring ton, city editor of the Democrat, interviewed Miss Shannahan and the questions and answers were heard by thousands of Waterbur- ians.
 Miss Shannahan stated that the program of the American Legion Auxiliary has been interested more or less in the education Of veterans children; that the work of this activity consists mostly in locating and Investigating World War orphans in Connecticut urg- ing them to stay at school and seek higher fields of learning; that those eligible for the privileges or advantages under the auxiliary's program at the present time are those children whose fathers served under the United States flag during the World war and were killed in action or who have since died from wounds or other causes due to service.
 It was also pointed out by Miss Shannahan that several forms of aid are offered to the World War orphans, namely, federal aid, ap- pointments to West Point and An napolis, tsate aid, American Legion Auxiliary State scholarships, the Emily Bronson Seaton Memorial scholarship and college support.
 Miss Shannahan also pointed
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-04-19

out that federal aid is that which orphans have been receiving up to the age of IS years. The aux Hilary is supporting the enact- ment of legislation continuing edu- cation of the orphans till they be- come 21 years of age providing they stay in school. The state aid is given to war orphans not un- der 16 and not over 23 years of age, Miss Shannahan explained, or died from other wounds or other causes due to the war before July 2, 1921. The boys in this particular class are eligible for ap- pointment to West Point or An napolis.
 Under the seaton scholarship preference is given to girl choosing home economies as her course of study. The aid given by the state and the auxiliary amounts to not more than $2OO annually for higher education in Connecticut at college, state nor- nal school, state trade school or at a business college.
 This year, 1t was explained, aid has been secured for five orphans. two whom are attending Yale university. There are two at the Connecticut college in New Lon don and one is attending the state trade school. Two of these are also receiving scholarships from the colleges they are attending and will be graduated this June. To date 12 orphans have been aided in their education.
 Miss Shannahan pointed out that in order to secure this aid the per- son must apply to the American Legion auxiliary where a question. naire form must be filled out.

Query How Many Jobs Make a Plumber?

Question of whether or not one instance wherein a man has done plumbing work makes 1t true to say that he has carried on the occupation of a plumber came up in an unusual city court case today. Judge Miles McNiff, acting on the city court in place of Judge John r. McGrath, declined to make a final decision on the question and continued tho case which brought up the problem for 30 days. TLc case was that of Guy Brewer, 38, of 57 Center street, who was arrested on complaint of Plumbing Inspector James Walker.
 Inspector Walker testified that Brewer had installed pipe connections for a boiler i'm an East Main street barber shop, though he is n tinsniith and not a plumber. Brewer ad- mittcd doing plumbing work. but claimed he did but part of the installation and that for the owner of the barber shop, without pay.
 Judge McNiff then raised the question of whether that one plumbing job resulted in the defendants "carPying on the trade or occupation of d plumber. "A supreme court ruling, he said, had established that one instance of n particu- lar kind Of work did not make 1t workers trade or Occupat- tiOn.
 Though the plumbing in- spectOr asked that the man be fined, with the execution of the fine suspended, Judge McNiff ordered the case continued for 30 days.
 During his testimony, Mir Walker declared that the office of the plumbing inspector has been dcluged with complaints of work being done by un- licensed plumbers. Ut Is il vcritable epidemic and must be stopped" lie claimed.
