buD A1bt tAbllS WVuAa ASNSAOp SAS proving groundless, t was learned today, Reports from local doctors show that quite Q large number of children have already been vaccin- ated, and 1t is expected many more will be before schools reopen in the fall.
 The board of education at Q re- cent meeting ordered that all chil- dren entering local schools for the first time be vaccinated. State of- ficials had long desired such con- dition here and the local health of- ficer. pr, Walter Baker, cooperated with the board in ordering 1t.
 There were rumors that some parents objected to having their children vaccinated, but thus far the number of children who have re- ceiyed injections to prevent snall- pox would indicate parents are in accord with the idea, realizing t will benefit their children.
 This practice will continue for at least eight years and at the end of that time 1t is believed all children in the local schools will have been vaccinated.
 The situation seems to bear out the contention of board members that Naugatuck parents are now in agreement with the general medical opinion that vaccination should be mandatory.
 At the school board session, 1t was suggested that 1t would be Q good thing to have the children receive infections to prevent diptheria, but the sentiment seemed to be that parents are not yet fully in agree. Ynent with doctors on the benefits of that, whereas 1t was felt no op- position would result to the sT1ialls pox vaccination order.
 It was brought out ct the fneet- ina that most other towns and cities in the state have compulsory vacci- ntior.
 All children who enter schools here for the first time in September will not be allowed to enter unless they have been vaccinated. Atty. HOnry J. Freeman, board member, had cited Q case in Q Connecticut city where e woman was fined heav- fly and given Q Jail term for refusal to have her child vaccinated.
