The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-15
BY DIR. A. s. BROWN

In the recent report of the Sup-, erintendent of Schools of Water bury, Dr. Condon made particular mention ot the steady decrease in the number of children attending the local grammar schools and also attention is brought to the decline of the number of children of school age in the city of Waterbury. I do not intend to go into a thorough. discussion of the why's and where fores of this startling state of af- fairs but l feel that the decline in the birth rate of the city of Water bury as well as through the entire nation is perhaps the, chief factor at work. Statistics will. am sure re- veal that the death rate of new born children and of infants has been, quite fortunately, steadily de- creasing so that one feels that the lowered birth rate must be the es- sential cause.
 Again do not wish to discuss the arguments for and against lowering of the birth rate for that is beyond the scope of the present discussion Theoretically there should be one probable result of the decreased birth rate and what is that the chil- dren who are born should be better taken care of and should grow up to make up in quality for the de- crease in quantity. All the advan- tages of modern scientific studies and developments should be made available Jc each and every new child. refer to better home care and school care as well as to med ical care. Every newborn babe has a normal right to better care and attention than the newborn of thirty to nifty years ago. am glad to state that in general, this right of the baby has been respected and fulfilled.
 Increased sanitation, better con- trol of milk supply and improve ments in other factors has definitely cut down the death rate of infants ill the first two years of life. There has been even algreater decrease in the illnesses, such as cholera m- fantum, rnalnutrition, rickets, scurvy anc other vitamin deficiency dis eases amongst the modern infants. As great as this improvement has been yet there is still considerable room for improvement simply ! pe- cause too manly parents do not avail themselves of the increase in knowledge in the feeding and hand ling of infants. There has been a marked decrease in the death rate

 During the fiscal year 1936,. St. Mary,s Hospital reported a total of 846 births, boys leading with 43l, and girls, AIS. Waterbury Hospital reported 715 births, 379 being boys, and 336 girls. Waterbury, then, had a total of 1,561 births during 1936- 810 being boys, 751 girls.
 This past years record of 1861 IS an incerase over the mark in 1895 which was 1856, and greater in crease over the mark established in 1894, which was 1879 and extremely low. Twins also showed an increase this past year, with eight sets being born in each institution. In 1885 there were five sets born in st.. >Mary,s and four sets born at the Waterbury Hospital.
 Individual figures show that. in 1884 there were 8O7 babies born at St. Mary,s: in 1885, 8s2; and in 1886, 846. Waterbury Hospital had 572 in 1884: 7O4 in 1895: and 7l5 in l936 Hospital authorities are certain that the reports next year will show a decided increase in the number of

 In the formal of the formation of the Alaska Mining Association Fairbanks which Is to ln cude in its membership mining in all parts of the Territory the organizers stated that the mining men of Alaska have many problems in common and much tan gible benefit from any organization whereln hey can pool their interests and of their problems
 This statement all and 1t is just tooShae tat such an association had been formed years ago Had the organization. functioniug last year, believe that the infamous Gold Tax Bill passed at the last session of the Territorial Legislature would either have not been passed least would have been rad cay changed several respects This IS just one'in stance proving how strong organization can operate for the it's members. And the present Gold Fay measure may be just the beginning of concerted campaign the part of other groups particularly th fish interests to saddle the heavy burden of the Terri are well organized and send their lobbyists to Juneau each the Legislature meets to exert their influence toward legislation fayorabie-to them.
 the political value of such an association there are many other rommendable features to be sidered which anunsrated in detail in the1neIs col urnns of this issue of The Kusko Times.
 We are confident the great majority of the mining men Of the Kuskokxmlarea and all of Western Alaska

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Soviet Rus
sia once again threatened to throw
a monkey-wrench into Europe'S
delicate machinery for Spanish
neutrality today as delegates to
the chairman'S non-intervention
subcommittee prepared for an
other meeting.
International News Service
learned the Soviets will oppose any
large token" withdrawal OF for
eign troops from Spain on the ba-
sis of equality for both sides If the
proposed token" exceeds 1000
men.
ASSURANCES ACCEPTED
This menacing development
came just after the Spanish-Medi-
terranean crisis was stripped OF
much of it's gravity when Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain
fully accepted italian assurances
that Premier Mussolini has no
territorial designs in Spain.
Britain also fatty declined to
make any coercive action against
Japan. On both questions the
House of Commons backed the
government by vote Of 204
to Ill.
INSISTS ON RATIO
It was revealed the SovietS, at
today's nonintervention session,
which is designed to implement
the agreements for withdrawal Of
troops and other measures to pre-
vent spread of the Spanish civil
war, will insist upon proportional
ratio of the troop withdrawal.
That is, the Russian representa-
tives will demand that loyaliSt and
insurgent foreign volunteers be
withdrawn from Spain in proper
ton to the number of such troops
now fighting for each side.
