The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-15
BY AUTOGRAPHS

These are the men and women of tomorrow! They have come into the world on wave of pessimism which already has depleted their numbers more than one is general ly aware. The birth rate is still slightly in advance of the death rate. If the birth rate, however, diminishes at the rate it has in the past ten years this generation will see the time when people will die faster than they are being born, and major catastrophies like war and epidemics will not be neces- sary to bring about the numerical regression. This, of course, is mere ly a supposition but not an impos- sible one unless the pendulum of events swings the other way. We are in the midst of an era of crop destruction and live stock deStruc- tion which is artiicially induced to regulate an economic situation. While too, we are striving to pro- long the span of human life with the blare of publicity we tolerate

a wanton human destruction, on the other end of the scale, which sur- passes anything in the history of humanity.
 General figures show a tremen- dous lowering of the birth rate all over the country for the last ten years. Tremendous numerical val- ues mean little to the average per- son, however. When we see how these ratios effect our own locality they take on more significance. In Waterbury alone the birth rate has declined an average of 300 births year for the past ten years. AL ready in these ten years the num- Der of school children iE the pub- lie schools has decreased 2,5OO. Eighty trained teachers have lost their vacations in Waterbury and six grade schools have been closed because of this loss of 2,500 pupils, and those teachers left are teaching several pupils less per grade than they did five years ago. This con- dition will become more apparent every year and after span of ten

HEALTH RECORD
 IN CITY FINE.
One of Best in U. s. A.; Re- ceived Honorable Men-
 ton From U. s. C. of C.

Waterbury's health record for the past year was one of the best in. the United States. The city not only en- joyed low infant mortality rate but received honorable mention from the United States Chamber of Commerce for its record among municipalities throughout the coun- try in the 100000 population class. Health officer Dr. P. J. Godfrey feels that with conscientious COG operation from the general public this record can be maintained in- definitely.
 The city,s infant mortality rate for 1886 was 56.8. In 1916 it was 135. In 1920 it was 103 and in 1895 was .82. The 1890 figures was .66. In 1885 the mortality rate among in- fants dropped to 38.3, the lowest in the history of the city. This, how- ever, was an unusual drop, according to Dr. Godfrey and the 1896 rate is considered an excellent one.
 Dr. Godfrey stated that the public in general is very considerate of the health of the city as evidenced by the cleanliness with all yards and buildings throughout the community are kept.
 Males last year continued to .out- number the number of female in the birth record. There were TIA males and 641 females born here during 1886 of which AZ were colored child- ren. Only 26 still births were record. ed in Waterbury during the year. A total of " infants died under one year of age during the 12-month period. This figure is slightly larger than that of 1885 but much lower than in 1884.
 Dr. Godfrey issued plea to mothers of the city to arrange for better prenatal advice and attention. Tn this way, he said, the local infant mortality rate and general health of the community can be made even better.

LEAFY FOODS ARE
 HEALTH BUILDING

Fruit, leafy vegetables, dairy prod- ucts-these are the foods which pre- serve the characteristics of youth, the protective foods, according to Dr. E. V. McCollum of Johns Hop- kins university, whose experiments in nutritious have given impetus to the ice cream industry especially. Build your diet around these three foods and you'd do more to preserve youth, figure and health than re- ducing exercises, trips to beauty parlors, or radical diets could ever do for you.
 Check over this list of foods once more, fruits, leafy vegetables, and dairy products, then pause mo- ment and consider that if they are such an item in the diet of adults. what an assist they are to the growth and health of youngsters.

SPECIAL TRAINING

In recent years, Georgetown Of
ficials pointed out, Washington
has become a national laboratory
for critical and analytical study OF
American legal and political insti-
tutions. Because of the many new
opportunities opened through the
creation of such agencies as the
National Labor Relations Board,
the Social Security Board, the Sc
curities and Exchange Commits
sion, the Maritime Commission
and others, lawyers are descend
ing upon Washington in greater
numbers than ever before. Many
Of these have found to their disap-
pointment that practice before
these various commissions requires
a special training in which the gen.
eral practitioner is generally lack
ing.
For this reason, the graduate
departments of many law schools
are enrolling seasoned attorneys
for special courses. Government
attorneys who find it necessary
to be familiar with the work of
various newly created agencies
with which they must have deal
ings, also are entering upon
graduate law work in increasing
numbers,

The Soviet Flights
Philadelphia Record)


 The Soviet airmen have not made two trips from Moscow to California by way of the North Pole simply because the North Pole is remote and mysteri ouS and spectacular They fly the North Pole route because that cuts than 600 miles from the air journey, Moscow to California. The path across the pole between these places is almost exactly a great circle path, and a route along great circle, any sophomore will tell you the shortest distance between two points a sphere.
 There would thus be saving in time in a North Pole journey, Moscow -to-New York, because that would involve doubling back and would not be great circle passage. Perhaps we ought to explain here that great circle is the boundary of plane which bisects sphere the equator is great circle and so is any circle drawn around sphere that cuts 1t in halfD
 The interesting point in regard to these flights IS that through them the Soviet fiers have at last opened the Northwest Passage" that century of sailors spent their lives in trying to find In making those attempts the sailing gave proof that the world is round; using the knowledge that the world is round, the Soviets have found the Northwest Passage. Chalk up another triumph for man. the tiny ami nal who walks the big sphere and who once killed fellow men for calling it sphere when so obviously it wasn't
