FALSE ECONOMY IN
 REDUCING BUDGET
Retrenchments in Protect ing Health More Costly
 When Trouble Starts

It is advisable that each con- munity take stock of its health rec ord to make certain that full ad- vantage has been taken of the dis coverieS already made in medical and sanitary science for the preven- tion of disease, stated Dr. Franklin M. Foote, chief of the division of local health administration in the weekly broadcast of the state de- partment of health. Application of the latest scientific knowledge to safeguard and promote the health of any community can be brought about most efficiently by a full-time health department manned by a qualified personnel working on 8 well rounded program.
 It is false economy to cut health budget to save money and then pay infinitely more to care for the end results of conditions which could have been prevented. Penny wise and pound foolish" is applicable to the community which elects to pay for the care of far advanced cases SA JPAAA4Ao d4A0 buDC1CuAOo4o 4dbAlCl than to provide adequate means for the prevention of such diseases.
 Some of the services vital to community's health and available through a well organized health de- partment, are the prevention and control of communicable diseases. provision of safe water and milk supply, supervision of sewage dis posal to prevent any possible men, ace to health, and sanitary inspec- tion of all food-handling establish ments. In addition, such health department should lead the way to better personal health at all ages and protect special groups such as mothers and infants against untime- ly and unnecessary death.

STATE

Today and tomorrow will afford theatergoeers their last opportunity of seeing Fred MacMurray, Ray Mil- land and Louise Campbell in "Men With Wings" also Charlie Ruggles and Ona Munson in "His Exciting Night" current attractions at War ,ner Bros. State theater.
 Anne Shirley, Nan Grey and Ralph Bellamy together with fifty beautiful stars of tomorrow com prise the great cast of Girls School" which headlines the big double feature bill coming to the State on Friday.
 Advance notices of the film hail 1t as a breath taking beautiful record of graduation time, of June and romance coming of age at Mag nolia Hall, an exclusive finishing school for girls.
 Miss Shirley, the talented star of Mother Carey's Chickens" to name her most recent film, is cast as the scholarship winner working her way through the exclusive seminary, and Miss Grey is seen as romantic young senior who plans to elope irn- mediately after the senior prom, that night, with boy friend who had kept her out on the moonlit campus all night. Naturally Anne, as dormitory monitor, is forced against her will to report Mans In- discretion, with the result that there is a strong possibility of the senior being expelled by the student coun- ell and thus prevented from grad- uating. This circumstance is obvi- ated, but the snobbish and bitter Nan refuses to accept Annes honest apology. At the Senior prom, that night Anne and Nan Clash.
 From this climactic point, through a series of delightful episodes. the picture rises brilliantly to surpris- ing conclusion.
 Cast in principal roles are Noah Beery, Jr., Kenneth Howell, and Gloria Holden.
 The second big hit is ''The Arkan- sas Traveller" starring the favorite Bob Burns in the role theatergoers always wanted to see him play. Teamed with the star Is Fay Banter who turned in such an excellent performance in the recent White Banners"

2. Because when England, France Italy, Holland, Belgium and Portu- gal all have considerable colonial empires, 1t is "derogatory to Ger many's honor" not to have part of the white mans burden.
 3. Because he is confident Ger many could so develop her former colonies as to supply many of the home needs. He scouts any British talk of Germans being able to buy in the colonies what they want. He says Germany has not the nec- essary gold or foreign exchange. If colonies were once more Germany's the nation could buy stuff with its own currency.
 Hitler is not clamiing the Paci- fic islands which mainly went to Japan. He may not even bother greatly about Togoland and Cam eroons, in northern Africa. What he has in mind is former German East Africa for which England holds the mandate and former German Southwest Africa, for which the Union of South Africa holds the mandate.
 German East Africa, now called Tanganyika is 8 territory the Eng fish would be loathe to give up. It was the last link of Cecil Rhodes dream of an all-British route from the Cape of Good Hope to Egypt. It makes possible some day an all- English railway from South to North Africa.

TEN COMPANIES
 ANSWER ALARMS
False Alarm Closely FOl- lowed By Private Box
 Call Responsible

Ten of Waterbury's IA fire conn., panies were in service at the same time yesterday afternoon when three alarms were received within the space of few minutes. If the Grif- fenhagen recommendations for the elimination of three fire companies were in effect, there would have been only one engine company in reserve, to answer any other alarms that came in.
 At 3:36 p. m. an alarm was re- |ceived from box 232, at Bank and Fourth streets, and four companies were sent to the scene. The alarm, however, was false.
 At 3:41, while these companies were still out, an alarm from box 3846, at the Steele & Johnson Co. plant on South Main street came in, Six companies answered the fac- tory alarm, but it was found the alarm had registered incorrectly and should have been from box 3849, at the Manufacturers Foundry on Eagle street. The apparatus went then to the latter factory, where they found that the sprikling sys- tenn had gone on when a head was accidentally broken.

And there's a nice little snag. Tanganyika is a British mandate, but former German Southwest Af- ricais a mandate of the Union of South Africa.
 If Hitler gets down to cases and demands the former German South west Africa, English statesmen will politely call his attention to the fact that the Union of South Africa is self-governing dominion. The Brit ish cabinet and government cannot make decisions for that dominion. All of which will look to Hitler like passing the buck and probably en- gender considerable heat.
 Even if London decides to play ball with Hitler on restoration of colonies, it is going to take lot of argument from the Chamberlain government to get South Africa to fall into line. South Africa, by its own efforts, conquered the Germans in Southwest Africa during the World War, and feels pretty strongly about holding on to this territory. Two-thirdS of Southwest Africa is valueless, because it is burning des- ert. But the cultivable part is good for grazing and there is considerable mineral wealth.
 The northern part of the country is almost exclusively inhabited by native tribes, who largely are ruled by their own chieftains.
 The Germans say they want this territory back principally because of its mineral possibilities. Theer are copper lodes which promise great things. In the last year reported, the territory produced $4,575 900 worth of diamonds $14O,O00 of gold, $780,

Good Evening.

Ladies are dancing In the gay whirly- -whirl, Flounces and hounceS All in swirl. They cavort and they leap But not in gavotte, Looks like the crinoline age But it's swing and real hot. There's period piece Like 8 shy violet Who might just be taking oil For a mincing minuet, But she comes with rush In her distinctly period gown, And with partner circles the floor, In short they hoe 1t down. Ladies are dancing Be-ribboned and founced, Though they look Victorian You see one often bounced From swanky-swank clubs A Godey lady in hoops, A crinoline lady swinging it, There she goeS-whoops!
