ACCIDENT SQUAD
 TO BE SELECTED
Supt. of Police Roach Will Make Appointment
 Early in June

The specially trained accident squad proposed for the Waterbury police department will probably be selected in June, Superintendent of Police William J. Roach said to-day. The superintendent has received word that Lieutenant Franklin Kreml of the Evanston, Ill., police department, who has trained acci- dent squads in several Connecticut cities, will be available oh or about June 16.
 While the idea has been tenta- lively approved by authorities here and will undoubtedly be adopted if, as it's proponents claim, there is no expense involved, 1t will operate in Waterbury with one or two major changes, according to Superinten- dent Roach.
 In New Haven and Bridgeport, where the squads are now on duty after training by Lieutenant Kreml, men assigned to the work do noth- ing else. Cars are maintained at both ends of the city, manned by two officers who await calls to acci- dents. Patrols are on duty 24 hours per day.
 As outlined by Superintendent Roach the plan will work in the same fashion in Waterbury with the exception that the motor patrol will be given the course and will carry on the accident work. Cars will be equipped with cameras, and the men will be given instructions which will aid them in presenting in their reports and in court testimony a complete and accurate record of each accident There will be no permanent assignments to the acci- dent squad, Superintendent Roach said, implying that all members of the motor patrol will be required to take the course.

 Godfrey Gratified
 Health Officer Dr. Godfrey, dis cussing the national recognition &C., corded Waterbury in the contest, stated:
 T am naturally gratified that Waterbury has again been awarded honorable mention for its health conservation record by the United States Chamber of Commerce and the American Public Health Association. It is especially pleasing to me that our city, which has entered this contest only during the past two years, has received this award on both occasions.
 The cooperation of the Wa tebury Chamber of Commerce and of other groups and indi- viduals has played an important part in the success of our efforts to maintain high level of health conditions here. I should like to call attention to the ef- flcient work done year after year by the health depaprtment staff, and particularly to the statistic al work done by Miss Lillian Connor, whose records were a major factor used in judging the achievements of this city in health work. The intelligence and sympathetic guidance of the board of health commission CTS must also be mentioned in any appraisal of the elements contributing to our good record.
 Naturally no health depart ment can operate successfully without general cooperation from the community. Water bury is fortunate in the public- spirited outlook 1t has developed, through the cooperation of the press and the radio, and with the aid of such agencies as the Anti-Tuberculosis League, the Visiting Nurses Association, the Red Cross, the Chase DispenS- ary, the local hospitals and our privately practicing physicians and nurses.
 ITO all these I wish to ex- tend my thanks and with them I wish to share gladly what ever honor has come or may in the future come to this depart ment."
