 "Time Of Slaughter"
Appeal Made to Parents, Youngsters to Exercise Caution at All Times Safety Campaign Given
 Special Emphasis During Summer Months

Roach points to the fact that last year the local accident record for July was highly commendable.
 Despite heavy traffic, Waterbury did not have 8 single automobile fatality in July of last year. In ad- dition, accidents were at a mini mum.
 A relentless campaign" against reckless drivers who endanger lives and property will be carried on, says the police superintendent.

charge predicted that approximately 15,00O children would attend the gathering this afternoon. The outing is being sponsored by the New Ha- ven County Sheriffs' association.
 The children attending will be given the First Offender pledge by High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin, or- iginator of the club plan. The pur- pose of the club is to prevent chil- dren from becoming violators of the law, and membership throughout New Haven county has grown rap- idly since the formation of the or- ganization by the sheriff.
 A program of sports and enter tainment will be offered. A revue will be presented under the direc- ton of Bobby Southland, and the WPA ensemble will offer a concert,
 Another feature will be a pie eating contest. All the children at tending will receive ice cream and other refreshments free.
 On the speakers list are Sheriff Slavin, High Sheriff A. Sutherland Beckwith of Litchfield county, AL bic Booth, famous Yale athlete, and several others.
 A Surprise!
 In order that all the children of Waterbury might be provided for, arrangements have been made by Sheriff Slavin, Uncle Harry and Harry x. Cashin, to send ice cream to every child who is hospitalized either at St. Mary's or Waterbury hospitals.

has had the effect of coordinating various factions in the local organ iZation.
 Inter Party Feud
 The history of the Independent Democratic party in Waterbury is the history of a feud with the Democratic organization which rose to its most bitter climax last fall. Thereafter, when a surprise vote of the Fusion groups amounting to about 19000 ballots succeeded in electing a Republican controller and a majority in the board of al- dermen, there was court litigation over the election and recount which confirmed the totals.
 Presently, the Waterbury extra ordinary grand jury reportedly is Investigating the election. Reports were current throughout the first of the year that an investigation" would result in special election and the succession of Senator Cul- hane to the mayoralty. What the Waterbury legislator could do with such a development as special election now is no longer the con- cern of the party which supported him. Thus, without the Indepen- dent Democratic sanction, the Re- publicans could not be expected to back his candidacy.
 In the statement of members of the town committed: We never have opposed the state Democratic administration" is found the trend of majority expression of the Wa terbury Independent Democrats who, throughout their fight against the local Democratic organization. have maintained that they are Democrats.
 Prediction is made here that within a few weeks, official backing of the Waterbury organization will be given Governor Cross and Sena- tor Lonergan, a most important consideration for the latter, who must face the New Deal opposition to his candidacy raised by Archi- band McNeil, of Bridgeport
 Within the same few weeks, coor- dination of policy and plans for tho Democratic convention will be sought. This will mean disassocia- tion of the local organization with the Republican allies of last fall and is expected to result in steps toward healing the breach between Demo- cratic factions in the city.
 The two new members of the town committee have been active in the Independent Democratic party since it's formation and At torney 1'obin, state representative, has been high in the councils. Charles Popikas is leader of the group in the Brooklyn section and his election, with that of Attorney Tobin, is with the approval of tho officers who, beside Chairman Hart ley, include: Eugene Sheehan, vice. chairman; Patrick Moran. treasurer: and Lester V. Lonergan, secretary.

committee of the American Dental association.
 During the summer, Dr. Lynch will be one of the principal speakers at an International Dental Congress in Sweden.
 The statement given before the Congressional committee by Dr.. Lynch was as follows:
 Mrs. .JenckeS. Dr. Lynch, we shall be glad to hear you. Please state in what connection you appear.
 Dr. Lynch. My name is Daniel F. Lynch. I am secretary of the re- search committee of the American Dental Association. practice oral surgery and diagnosis of diseases of the mouth. am associated with Dr. Sterling Mead, whose book is recognized as one of the outstanding books on diseases of the mouth.
 pr. Lynch. would simply like to say that after interning in New York was assoicated with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., where for 2 years I did dog experimentation under Edward c. Rosenow, who is considered one of the finest bacteria logists of our day.
 As result of that animal experi- mentation I feel that the work was beneficial and useful to human prog resS and to health.
 In all of the time that I was in the laboratory I never saw 8 dog badly treated or cruelty handled. They aim always to place dog surg cry on the same plane as general surgery, and the same principles of asepSiS that were used in the op- erating rooms at St. Marys Hospital were also used at the experimental farms.
 Mouth Diseases
 I do not see how anyone who has ever done any dog experimentation can say that the diseases of the mouth have not been helped as a result of these experiments, because there is one disease that the dog does develop; it does not develop to any great extent dental carries, that is true. But he does develop pyorrhea alveolaris. Pyorrhea alveo- laris is one of the diseases of the mouth that is prevalent in middle life. None of us, am sorry to say, knows to what extent it contributes to the degenerative changes that take place as we go along. It is a cumulative thing. We hope some day to know the cause of it, but we do not now. And if we ever do, feel that one of the methods will lie in the experimentation with dogs, be- cause they do develop definite gingivitis that stimulates pyorrhea alveolaris.
