rest of the country, while short sighted public officials in different sections of this area unwittingly do much to obstruct our efforts.
 Adverse Publicity
 Recently a well intentioned Connecticut official released to the press copy of speech in which he discussed the alleged pollution, of the waters in Long Island Sound. He said the water east of Guilford had an "A" rating, but that starting west of Guilford, tho rating declined until at Fairfield 1t went down to "D", which meant that the water was greatly polluted and made undesirable. This would have been wonderful speech for the officials who have the right to stop this pollution. but 1t unques- tionably was very bad and unwar- ranted adverse publicity for all of the Connecticut shore.
 Again, a few years ago the wife of a man who now holds very responsible position with 8 Con- necticut utility company, objected to coming into New England be- cause she had seen cartoons de- picting huge mosquitoes stabbing defenseless babies along the Con- necticut shore. As matter of fact, at the time this propaganda was released as stimulus to an anti-mosquito campaign, there were mosquitoes in but one section of Connecticut's entire short frontage, yet the whole section was damned. In this connection need we go fur ther than to recall that for years the mere mention of New Jersey resorts has been followed by an attempt at wit, in substance, "Oh yes, New Jersey boasts of the larg- est mosquitoes in the world" Yet there are beautiful resorts in New Jersey which are never visited by a mosquito.

Safety School Plan
 Here Is Materializing
Dr.. Herbert Stack of New York to Visit Waterbury to
 Devise Program for Local Schools

Coincident with an urgent mes | haze from the state board of ed l ucation on the subject of protec-
 tion from highway dangers, Dr.
 Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of the local schools announced to- day that plans for the campaign
 of safety education among Water-
 bury school children are rapidly | taking form.
 Although the actual develop 1 ment of the drive will of necessity be delayed until schools are open- ed, Dr. Condon said the plan had
 been already drawn in general out line and that Dr. Herbert Stack of | New York city, director of safety
 education of the national bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwri- tors would come to Waterbury again next week for further con-
 ference. Dr. Stack and Dr. Condon are collaborating in dcvising the program for the Waterbury | schools.
 Suggests Committee
 It has been suggested that teach ers' committees be formed in each
 school whose function 1t will be to convey safety suggestions to the pupils, to stress the necessity of constant vigilance and to provide the children with literature dem-
 onstrating the results of careless gram will be divided in two parts,
 with a special course for high
 school pupils, Dr. Condon said. The city of Hartford last year, conducting similar campaign in
 it's schools, reduced the child ac-
 ciden rate by 43 per cent. Movies
 and coiored slides will be shown.
 posters will be designed and con-
 spicuously placed and older pupils
 will be given instruction in driv- ing.
 The chief danger to the city school child, according to the com
 munication from the state board | of education, is in crossing the streets.
 Street Crossing
 Pupils should be taught to cross the street with deliberation and not in a mad dash for possible
 safety" the bulletin states. 'They
 should cross on the crossing. They
 should establish the habit of en- tering the street only after they have looked both ways. first to the 1 left and then to the right. If car
 Is in sight. they should wait for 1t to pass. Before they pass mid
 street. they should look again, this time to the right and again to the
 left. It is generally safe to stand
 still in the middle. of the street If an unexpected car approaches.' If confused, the child should stand, still with uplifted hands and not rush with uncertainty back and forth. A driver can dodge q child if the child will stand still"
 "The second danger Is in dash ing out behind parked car or across behind moving one. Many
 wait for a car to pass and then rush forward at time when they cannot see that second oar fol- lows the first or that car is ap-

office, said to me, II know of no place in the United States where one can work under such favorable conditions. It is unbelievable that one can leave his office, drive to his summer home and be, as a matter of fact, in the ocean hav- ing a dip, all within 20 minutes. There are others in our company who prefer homes on rivers and there are still others who like to go up into the hills. Connecticut provides all.
 "In Connecticut. as all over New England, all of these blessings of nature are within stones throw and accessible by excellent high ways.
 "In conclusion, I submit that in recommending the continued de- velopment of our recreational en- dowments, we are not blue-skying we are not theorizing. Our annual income from this great business is already half billion dollars. Yet, the surface has hardly been scratched either in our development or our promotional pOSS1 DiI1t1eS. mere IS no OtneT business in New England which off, fers such possibilities and the beauty of the whole picture Is that in this recreational development program we in no way conflict, in- terfere with, or detract from our industrial, agricultural and other pursuits. In fact, the greater our recreational development, the greater is the immediate market for either our fabricated merchant disc or our products of the earth. We, as a New England area, have fared better in this economic storm than has any other section of the country. Recreation has been one of the stabilizing factors. We have already opened the door to this golden opportunity. A little more persistence, a little more nur- turing and this relatively new business will go far toward con- tinuing New England as not only the most successful but as the hap piest place in the whole country in which to work and play, and there is no greater goal.

preaching in the further half of the street. The warning Is to cross with deliberat!on and only when the street Is safely clear.
 Train children to watch the street stoplights. They are for the pedestrian as much as for the au- toist."
 Police Details
 The report concludes: Every school should plot the path of children who attend and should locate the comparatively small number of danger points, blind crossing, and other places of risk. On all these points, there should be repeated advice and warning. and moreover, teachers and pupils should study to make certain that the school directions ar made ef- fective."
 In this respect, 1t might be said that in Waterbury this course has been invariably followed when school opens each year. A special detail of police is delegated to as- sist children at the cross walks and the various points regarded as dangerous. Policemen whose beats are near the school districts are ordered to be at the cross walks at specified periods when children are going to school or coming home.
