times one of the boys built the fire and occasionally the teacher did this. The building lasted until 1906 when the present building was erected at a point 50 feet west ot the old building. Many well known Naugatuckians attended the Pond Hill school.
 Won't Use Grounds
 Superintendent Chittenden re- ports that the New England Tele- phone Company will not have to use the Futile property grounds as re- quested at the September meeting. The company had to move their poles from the William Laube prop erty. This permission was granted under certain conditions, because 1t was felt the poles would otherwise be erected on Church street and might provide hazards there. The superintendent explained yesterday that the company has found an- other place for its poles, and won't have to use either the Futile prop erty or Church street.
 Some Damage
 At the September meeting, the superintendent was empowered to grant permission for holding of a carnival outside the main Recrea- ton field if he felt it wise. The Naugatuck Hose, Hook and Ladder Association sponsored this carnival.
 The superintendent yesterday re- ported he had granted this permis- sion and he said some damage re- suited from the use of trucks and machines on the field, holes difficult to fix being left. A the September meeting, the firemen were quoted as promising that the field would be left in the same condition as 1t was prior to the carnival.
 The superintendent also reported he had advised the use of Recrea- ton field on Sundays between the Ramblers and the Naugatuck Gems and 1t has worked with reasonable satisfaction to all concerned, he said.
 Present estimates of values of school buildings made by the Bliss and Cole Company were given to board members to study. Action to- ward increasing insurance here is expected at the next meeting of the board.

MORE HEART TROUBLES

The increasing part which heart dis
ease is playing in incapacitating and
shortening the lives of people in the United
States has become matter of major con-
Germ and consideration among the medical
profession recently. Statistics gathered by
insurance and medical organizations show
a decided increase in the number and per
centage of death from this malady and al
so that it is the greatest single factor in
mortality figures today. The greatest
damage. it appears, is done among peo-
pie in the period known as the prime of
life.
Some of the leading heart specialists
blame the growth of heart disease and the
concurrent malady, hardening of the
arteries, to the hurry and worry hustle
and high pressure of modern life, par
ticularly in the big cities. Some of the
more eminent are inclined to place much
of the blame on the increased emotional
pace of our civilization.
1T IS an unhappy condition of the
mind caused by unfulfillment of desires,
conflicts. thwarted ambitions and mans
effort to escape from his environment and
personal limitations that prepare the way
for heart disease" says one. Tea, cof-
fee, tobacco ard alcohol may make the

A LAZY MANS IDEA

Someone has said that most labor.
saving devices have been the inventions
of lazy men, to whom the world owes a
debt of gratitude. 1t was to two lazy bank
clerks of London that the clearing house
idea was due
In the early days each bank sent mes
sengers to other banks to cash checks over
the counter. requiring much counting and
carrying of currency.
About the year ITO two clerks, each
going to the others bank, happened to
meet in tavern and it occurred to one of
them that labor might be saved by ex
changing checks and settling the differ
ence in cash. Other clerks joined in the
scheme and the Five Bells public house
near Lombard street became the meeting
place for clerks to exchange checks
Finally the bankers adopted the lazy.
clerks idea and rented a room for their
meeting place. and thus the clearing house
was established.
Now it frequently happens that as
many as a million checks are passed
through the London clearing house in
single day.

With this lesson We begin the
story Of Joseph, which comprises
one-fifth Of Genesis. It IS the ideal
story of the Old Testament. as Jo-
seph was its ideal character, Of
whom no evil was recorded. The
lucrative Is x@Il-told, the various
actors skiIlfully portrayed. and
the underlying guiding hand OF
God well-estabished.
Joseph and Benjamin were the
two sons Of Jacob by Rachael, his
early sweetheart and favorIta
wife. Jozeph's boyhood was spent
in various places, as Jacob inn
grated with his herds and tribe
to Succoth, Sheeem, Bethel and
Hebron, tie latter claiming the
distinction IS one of the Oldest
towns in the world. It was near
Hebron where the early story OF
Joseph is unfoIded.
Genesis 81 relates the details
surrounding the family life Of
the patriarch Jacob and the bick-
erings and jealous5es which ex.
'sted between the ten sons Of
three different mothers and his
two sons, Joseph and Benjamin.
sons of Rachel. Joseph suffered
because he was his fathers fav-
crite, Just as Jacob had suffered
because he was the fasorite son
Of his mother, Rebekah. The gift
of a special coat by his father,
as a mark of his unusual affec-
ton, brought Joseph no benefit
but rather increased his peril
from the hatred of his brethren.
Another circumstance soon add
ed to the hostility and envy Of
Joseph's brothers. The boy was
a dreamer. apparently with a di-
vine, prophetic meaning and he
was not old enough or wise
enough to keep his dreams 70
himself. but related them to his
brothers. Each indicated that Jo-
seph would be superior to his own
family and that all Of them, even
his father, Jacob, would eyentu-
ally bow down themselves before
him.
Joseph's brothers, Intensely ir-
ritated with Kim, determined to
put him ont of the way and seized
upon the first opportunity to do
this. Sent by his father to visit
his brothers while they tended
their flocks far from home, the
brothers plotted to throw him into
dry well aud leave him there to
die. ReuL@n, more humane. sug-
gested rather they sell him to
some traders passing by and thus
it hap ;eRad that Joseph was taken
to Egvrt and sold as a slave to
Potiphsr. an officer of Pharaoh.
So aishf9l and dilieent was Jo-
seph as a slave that he vas soon
advanced by Pctiphar to a posi-.
ton as overseer Of his household.

THERE is very little excuse for
diphtheria.
In the District Of Columbia
L this terrifying scourge Of chill
dren has been reduced to a very low
incidence-but single case Is one
too many. It means, in all proba-
bility, that somebody has failed to
live up to = duty which every child
has a right to expect. It is comfort
ing that we never again will witness
the epidemics Of this malady which
little more than . generation ago lett
parents and doctors almost helpless.
Science has seen to that-but 1t isn't
much comfort to the few families
in which the scourge does get q foot
hold.
Diphtheria, according to DR.. George
c. Rutland. health ofncer OF the
District Of Columbia. is one disease
which has been "conquered"-so far as
the means provided by the scientific
laboratory is concerned. For this
malady one of the few specifics known
to medicine has been perfected. 1t
is a specific especially for prevention.
Every child can be immunlzed either
by the family physician or at =
Health Service clinic, so that its
chances of contracting that disease
are extremely remote. 1t is also a
specific in treatment, if administered
In time. But there should never be
a case calling for treatment.
Soon May Be Thing of Past
This great scourge Of childhood.
DR.. Ruhland says, probably in q few
years will be q thing Of the past.
but it has been succeeded by q group
of diseases for which the outlook
is not so promising. A generation
ago these were medical curiosities.
The lay public hardly had heard OF
them. Now they are serious poten-
tialities for every parent in Wash

have been several serious outbreaks
in the immediate vicinity Of Wash

There are two safeguards. One Is
vaccination. Supplies of spotted
fever vaccine are limited, can be OBJ
tanned only from the Public Health
Service, and the treatment is not
advised unless there is evidence that
the child actually has harbored a
tick carrying the fever virus. Only
few Of the insects are thus infected
There is one procedure. however,
which is every parents duty to every
child-picking off ticks which actu-
ally get on the body, especially in the
hair. while the youngster is at play.

at some time or other. Possibly the
virus varies in its virulence. Perhaps
it all depends on the degree Of resist

these dreaded new diseases Of the

lightly.
