 With Sickness

A case of infantile paralysis re- ported to the City Health Depart ment late yesterday caused pr. Ed ward J. Godfrey to repeat his warfl- ing today for residents of Water bury to avoid visiting sections of the state where the disease has been reported in volume.
 The Waterbury case Is that of Q three-year-old youngster living n the East End. Precautions have been taken by the City Health De. partment to isolate those who might cause spread of the disease.
 In the Waterbury case, the doc' tor Was not called until the par alysis had started. Thus the Seri- ouSnesS of the case has not been fully determined.
 Total In State
 The total of cases reported In the state, according to state board of health figures for the week, was il, five fewer than were reported last week, The season total, however, Is running higher than 1t has for Q number of years as the disease Is generally ct It's peak during the warmer months.
 Ordinarily, medical authorities de- ciared, the dread ailment dwindles when tho cold weather starts. Be" cause of the unreasonable temper atures in Waterbury, warm ono day and cold the next, there Is no way of determining accurately just what trend the disease might take should 1t become increasingly prevalent in this section of the state.
 Three cases were reported In New Haven County last week, exclusive of the Waterbury case, all In the city of New Haven.
