Propaganda


Middletown, Oct. i.--~Flrst major
attack Of the Republican campaign
on the basis OF grand jury invegti~
cations and charges against Demo-
cratic officials was offered here last
night by President James r. Me-
Conaughy Of Wesleyan University,
Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor.
The candidate made especial at
tack on the incumbent lieutenant
governor, Mayor Frank Hayes Of
Waterbury, although he did not
mention him by name, saying Of the
office:
To-day It Is disgraced, held. by
man chosen by The Democrats, who
forgot completely Cleve1and's
words: Pubic Office is q pubic trust
His public conduct Is o stencil IN
our nostrils; his party did nothing
to clear the states fair name; the
Democrats renominated him TOR q
second term; they shut their eyes
to a situation which Is known the
country over as 'Connecticutt
shame"
Candidate McConaughey, however,
refrained from mention Of the Mer-
rift Parkway grand jury and he
was not asked by the audience at
City Hall last night TO explain his
endorsement Of the candidacy OF
United States Senator Augustine
Lonergan when the latter was
seeking the Democratic renomiila-
ton and before the Wesleyan ON.
cial had been given the notnation

EALTH OFFICER
HUB OF WHEEL
Power to Preserve Health,
Prevent Disease Invested
in Him By Law

The modern health ofiicer DEM
onstrates that he Is "the Hub Of the
Wheel" declared Franklin M. Foote
M. D.. director of local health adj
ministration, in the weekly broad
cast Of the state department Of
health. state statutes give him the
power to preserve the public health
and prevent the spread Of disease
and It is his responsibility to see
that the control measures are car
ried out in his community. TO do
this, he must be In position to
coordinate and direct all health ac-
tivities in his community as in
unity there is strength.
Doctor Foote pointed out that
quarantining homes and abating
sanitary ruisances are only small
part Of his present duties which lay
rather among the lines OF epidemio-
logical investigations Of all comrnu-
nicable diseases, the promotion OF
maternal, infant, and child health
and the education Of the public In
regard to modern public health
procedures that are needed to
maintain q sanitary and healthy
community.
The health officer is concerned
with summer round-ups, well child
conferences and preventive dental
and nutrition work, the medical
examination Of school children and
Of the nursing follow-up necessary
to secure correction Of physical de-
fects so the children will be able to
derive the most value from their
education and be better fitted for
the battle of life. He Is In close
contact with public health nurses
who play such an important part
IN the health program In bringing
comfort and assistance to those
confined to their homes with sick
ness and teaching those who are
well how to remain healthy.
Another necessary part Of the
health ofiicers program includes
regular inspection Of restaurants,
soda fountains or other eating
places, as we'll as the safe handling
Of certain foods such as milk In Or
der to protect the consumer from
various diseases which may be trans
mitted by this means. He must ex-
ercise continuous supervision over
general sanitation In the commu-
nifty and someone must check the
water supplies, private sewage dis
posal systems, and take steps to
eliminate conditions which may be
detrimental to health.
The logical person to take charge
Of all these activities Is the health
ofiicer. His leadership Is vital to
the development Of adequate and
complete local health protection.

prospects Of next year.
Erroneous reports have emantee
from some source within the com.
mittee, In spite Of an agreement
that this should not be the pro.
cedure, and Chairman Major W
Judge took exception at the recent
finance board meeting TO tn,
breach Of ethics" occasioned BY
this committee member.
Fact Of the matter Of cutting
personnel in the street department
made O political attask In the re-
ports on which Chairman Judge
based his criticism, q that there
will be some cuts but they do moi
represent any carving Of financial
costs as Of the current year. In
other words, the funds Of the de-
partment have been under heavy
drain during the year due, In part
to the large proportion Of participa-
ton In the related relief work OF
WPA, storm damage. etc.
A reliable report Is that possibly
eight or ten employees will be laid
off within the next week or two
But the matter Is still "in confer
ence," so far as the financial survey
staff and the committee Of the a.
nance board ere concerned.
Consensus appears TO be that
some portions Of various city depart
ments are UNDER stated. others have
at least sufficient personnel. and
these matters are subject 70 the
adjustment.
A number of changes In proceed
ure Of government will be included
In the Anal recommendations Of
