North East To Vote On
Sewer And Water
Question

The Town Commissioners of
North East have ordered special
registration of voters on Thursday,
July %, and special town election
on Wednesday, Aug. 10, at which
time the question of installing sew
ers and water in the town will be
submitted to the voters for approval
or disapproval.
If the town acts favorably it will
receive a grant Of 100000 from the
federal government. The work
would be done under the WPA and
the PWA plans.
North East is one of the few
towns on the Eastern Shore of its
size, that does not have water and
sewers. Under the Maryland law it
is possible for the State Board of
Health to order water and sewers
installed in the town, if health con-
ditions should justify it. On two
previous occasions the voters of the
town voted unfavorable on similar
propositions.

$5O,OOO ACTION
 POSTPONED ADAY
Mrs. Elizabeth Clayton Sues Late Husbands
 Mother and Father

Postponement until tomorrow was made today in the $50,000 civil &C., ton of Mrs. Elizabeth Clayton of New York against MT. and Mrs. John R. Clayton, prominent local residents, which was to have been heard today by Judge Edwin S. Thomas in the United States district court at Hartford.
 The suit is most unusual, being an action by a daughter-in-law against her late husbands mother and father. Alienation of affections is the basis of the action.
 Plaintiff in the action is Mrs. Elizabeth Clayton of New York city, widow of Walter Clayton, son of the defendants, MT. and Mrs. John R. Clayton. Originally the suit was filed and tried in the Waterbury superior court with verdict being returned for the defendants and appeal being taken to the supreme court of er- TOTS. In the local trial damagees of $100,000 were asked.
 Judge Thomas told The Demo- crat today that the postponement was made due to the inability of the plaintiffs counsel to appear for the trial. He said it would be heard tomorrow.
 After the verdict for the defense was returned in the local court an appeal was taken to the supreme court, error was found, and rehear- ing of the case was ordered. But the rehearing was never conducted, although counsel for the plaintiff made motion for Prepayment as late as June 25, 1886, when a de- nial was entered by Judge Edwin c. DickenSon. The case was then filed in the district court.
 Walter Clayton, the plaintiffs late husband, died in 1885 at the age of 50 His father one of the defendants, was formerly affiliated in hte jew elry business. but is LOW retired. At- torney Robert P. Butler of Hartford represents the defendants and the plaintiff is represented by Attorney Louis Feinmark of New Haven. At- torney William B. Hennessey of this city was connected with the case during its trial locally.

ZARRELLA AWAITS
 WELFARE VERDICT
Department Expects to Ad= just Difficulties of Pearl
 Street Resident

Although the state case, in the effect that he made his home for many years in New Rochelle, N. Y, Salvatore Zarrella, of 28 Pearl street, was concerned today with investiga- tion by the city welfare department which is expected to see adjust mcnt of difficulties of his family, namely. wife and three children.
 Mr. Zarrella talksd with Mrs. Mary Doyle Camp, superintendent of the welfare department, and ex- plained to The Democrat the situa- tfon which caused his complaint over the emergency food given him last Friday, as relates to the amount. The applicant, eligible now for un- employment compensation, hence ineligible for WPA work, was em- ployed since early summer at a rolelr at the Chase company.
 At Thanksgiving time, however. MT. Zarrella was cut to two days a week and, a week ago Monday, laid of. He had received $11 a week dur ing the earlier period. He explained that he had planned joining the Brass Workers union when it had affiliated with the American Fedora tion of Labor but that he had
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-26

Speaking in the departments week ly broadcast, MT. Hirsche explain ed how the department is striving to give everyone this much needed, thorough knowledge of cancer. The day of little knowledge about this disease is over, he stated, for pamphlets especially written for the laity are now available free of charge through the State Depart ent of Health. This service is rem dered because Connecticut has an active cancer program which is att tempting to inform every adult in the site that SO far as cancer is con- cerned "a little knowledge is not a dangerous thing"
 Furthermore, he said, recognizing the existence of cancer before it has progressed into advance stages where cure is impossible is com- bined responsibility of those whom it attacks and the physician. The latter, however, cannot do his part unless given the opportunity and this is best presented to him by fol- lowing one rule: to learn the sug- gestive symptoms and, if they occur, consult physician immediately for their interpretation. Better still is to make a periodic visit to a physi- clan for thorough physical ex- animation. The reason for this is that certain of the more common types of cancer do not produce rec ognizable symptoms until the disease is fairly well advanced. By consult ing physician at stated intervals, he is given the chance to detect and rectify abnormal conditions which may ultimately become cancerous. If necessary, the doctor can use X-ray examinations and other tests to interpret suspicious symptoms brought to his attention.
 Subtle Way
 Cancer, either internal or external. has a subtle way of developing slowly and deliberately from some trivial abnormality and it does so without producing pain or feeling of i'll health, MT. Hirsche explained. When it reaches the stage when pain develops, nine times out of ten, cancer is well beyond hope of per- manent cure. Slight, vague symp- toms must be recognized as warming signals. This is something that the adult layman must learn as one of the rules peculiar to cancer. There are others, just as important, that TO intelligent individual can afford to overlook.
