Merriman and Bishop street schools have been selected by City Electrical Inspector Martin O'Rourke as the places where the first work of the recently authorized local WPA electrical wiring program will be carried out. Seventeen electri- clans, in all, will be used on the project which calls for an expendi- ture of $5,700 by the city of Water bury and an ammount more than double that total by the federal government.
 It was stated this morning that the pay of the electricians will be at the prevailing wage rate in Water bury. Inspector O'Rourke has been engaged for the past two days sur veying the local schools before put ting the men to work, finally, and decided today that the. program should be started in the Merriman and Bishop street schools.
 In all, 9 local school buildings will be wired. Some of them al- ready have electric wiring but sev- eral have none. The survey, &C., cording to Inspector O'Rourke, made by means of apparatus de- signed to show the amount of "can- de feet" illumination, has brought

supply is the most vital action that health authorities must take under flood conditions.
 As flooding develops, dangerous germs increase in rivers, ponds, and springs. Steps must be taken to in- sure exclusion of flood water, as far as possible, from storage reservoirs.
 Water drawn from rivers and wells sl>7uld be chlorinated, and, if ono is not certain of the water sup ply, boiled water only should be used.
 As preventive of further con- tamination of water supplies, everything possible must be done to dispose satisfactorily of sewage and garbage, day by day. This may involve the setting up of special methods for collection and disposi- tion by burning or by some other controlled system.
 TYPHOID IS GREAT PERIL
 Since the chief danger of infec- tion is in typhoid fever, parathyroid fever, and dysentery resulting from the drinking of contaminated water, icoculation against typhoid on large scale is usually practiced. State health authorities, the United States Public Health Service, and the American Red Cross are making the typhoid fever vaccine easily available to refugees. However. those who are taking care of them selves may well inquire of their family doctors as to desirability of such vaccination.
 The other dangers of infection are chiefly those concerned with crowding together of great numbers of people in concentration camps, or in novels and slums. This means quite certainly the danger of small pox, meningitis, pneumonia, and similar conditic:s frequently asso- ciated with crowding and exposure to the elements under poor sanitary conditions. Tn the south, there is the added problem of malaria.
 Smallpox, vaccination should be widely practiced and there must be frequent inspection by health offi- cers to detect cases of other infec- tious disease as soon as possible and to isolate them.
 MOSQUITOES ADD DANGER
 Quarantine and isolation repre- sent the chief weapons that health officers have in preventing spread of infectious disease during floods.
 It will be remembered that ma laria is spread by the mosquito and that the mosquito breeds in swamps and in surface water. As the floods recede, these surface waters are left in many places.
 Health officers practice spreading oil over these waters which prevents the breeding of mosquitoes, and also provides for emergency drainage.

similar well-controlled milk prod- ucts.
 Laundry sheds may be set up, with plenty of soap and tubs as an encouragement to personal cleanli- ness.
 Two especially important prob- lcms involve the care of prospec- tive mothers and of women ii1 childbirth. For this, in all camps and in all collections of refugees, investigations should be made as to the number of such cases, and pro- visions made in advance for their care.
 DIET IS IMPORTANT
 Moreover, 1t is also necessary to be certain that cases of venereal dis cases are promptly detected and put under control, to prevent spread.
 Special attention must certainly be paid to the question of suitable diet for those in the camps, and for distribution of food to people who are living temporarily in homes that are not their own. The stan- dard bread line supplied with coffee and sinkers is no longer suitable.
 The minimum diet for health and growth developed by govern ment officials during the depression should certainly constitute the min- imum under flood conditions. Such diet provides thick vegetable soups, some leafy vegetables, at least pint of milk daily for each indi- vidual, as well as some cereal foods, fruits, and some meat and eggs. TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION
 Remember that the chief dangers faced are the dangers from contam- irated water, the lessening of re- sistance brought about by exposure and dampness, inadequate nutri- tion, and infection resulting from overcrowding.
 Boil the water and boil the milk if you are not certain as to their sources. Be vaccinated against ty- phoid fever and against smallpox. Keep yourself dry, if you can, and try to get the minimum essentials of an adequate diet.
 It may be silly to tell man whose house has just floated down the river that he should not worry, but remember that worry will not help the condition and that 1t is likely to do more harm than good.

Screening of homes and camps is the other useful method in thwart- ing the mosquito.
 One of the special problems of floods is the destruction of large numbers of animals, the bodies of which are strewn about unclaimed. It is the duty of those concerned with sanitation to bury these bodies or to burn them.
 As a general disinfectant for gar- bagc and refuse, lime and chloride of lime are widely used.

i FARM HOLIDAY NEWS
By II. Sandell, Secretary

The Farmers Holiday Association
met at Hinckley on Monday, June 1,
and a fair sized crowd was present.
John H. Bosch, state and national
president of the Holiday association,
was also present.
Among the motions that carried
there was one motion that carried
unanimously, which reads as follows:
mo individual nor the grievance
committee of the Holiday Association
shall be allowed to handle or settle
any grievance case or mortgage case
in the name of the Holiday until such
case has first been presented before
the regular or special meeting for its
consideration; debtor and creditor to
be both present if possible
This motion is very important and
/ wish to state that there will be a
deadline set at our next meeting to
determine how long we shall take in
members for this year, the date may
be set for July Is, so you better join
now to be sure you will have protec-
ton when you need it although too
many still believe in Santa Claus.
The Holiday Association has prevent
ed over sixty mortgage foreclosures
the past year without demonstrations
at the court house, besides many
other grievance cases that we have
settled to satisfaction to both parties.
And do not forget that anyone that
brings a case before the Holiday for
consideration must be a member.
Our next regular meeting will he
held at Hinckley in the local Legion
hall on Wednesday, June II, p. n.
We will have a speaker at that meet
ing so be sure to attend; we will also
serve lunch after the meeting.

there is no one who would extend
a helping hand to Gilman spite of
all the solemn international treaties
which guarantee Chinese political
independence and territorial integri-
ty. 1t is said that there is an ar
rangement, not unlike an alliance,
between Russia and China, but in
formation as to this is exceedingly
meager. Russia has said nothing
about it; China has heatedly denied
that there is such thing, for Chi
ang still considers himself the IN
compromising foe of communism,
especially as it has assumed form
at Moscow.
So, it looks as though Japan will
be permitted to carve another slice
off China-with China herself and
the rest of the world meekly witness
ing the tragedy.

is the city of Canton became uneasy

Then came rumors that an army

Canton had declared war against

1t is impossible to ascertain how

maintain that China realizes her

Chang Kaishek, the military dicta-

kind. Such things have been done
in China before, but, as far as the
public is concerned, there is not yet
any evidence to go by.
1t is probable that Chang con-
siders a war of defense a futile

Japan would win, if it came to an ac-

GOOD PERCENTAGE
OF WORK SHEETS IN


about 200 work sheets have been
filled out by the community commit
tee men and turned in to the county
agents Office according to Max Nc
Millin, emergency county agent.
There are about 100 more to be
turned in this week, this will make
about $40 of the farms in this county
having a work sheet according to the
number of farms in the 1880 census.
The listing of the work sheets is
practically completed and a meet
ing will be held this week with one
of the state men, to determine the
county base. Following this the COM
munity committee men will meet to
go over each township, and as soon
as possible after that each farmer
will be notified as to what his base is.

Under auspices of the Askov Garden
club an Iris display will be staged in
the town hall Saturday evening. June
20, Ia week from Saturday,. Those
i'm charge hope that this date will
prove to be the most satisfactory for
the greatest number. They are de-
sirous of getting as big display as
possible, so bring in what you have
and help the show. They will sell
refreshments in connection with the
display and the proceeds from that
will go to cover expenses connected
with the regular fall flower show; so
help it along by patronizing them Sat
urday night and incidentally take a
good look at the variety of flowers
that will be there.
