 2,051 Births
 A total of 2051 births were re- corded for 1887. This number rep resents 542 nonresident births, IA children born to Waterburians in out-of-town hospitals and total of 1909 being credited as Waterbury births. This is the first increase noted in births, a steady decline occurrying each year since 1919. In 1881, a total of 1541 births were re- corded and in 1886 a total of 1855. The crude birth rate for 1887 was 14.2 per 1000 population.
 There were 812 males and 697 females born during of which Az were colored children. An increase occurred in the number of still births, A being recorded for 1887, compared with 2lz for the previous year.
 Continued progress can be hoped for only with an increased interest interest and cooperation on the part of parents. In this way not only the infant mortality rate but the general health of the communi- ty can be made better.

THRIFT NOTED IN
 CEREAL COOKING
Use of Prepared Products Adds Appreciably to
 Family Budget
By MARGARET A. KENNEDY
 V. N. A. NutritiOnist

Many mothers who provide cooked cereals" for the children during the school year alternate with ''ready-to-eat cereals" in va cation time. If the same food value is to be provided for the children the use of the prepared cereals will put heavy tax on the food budget, for with hardly an exception, they cost more.
 ''To-be-cooked" cereals:
 Oatmeal, 20 OF. pkg. costs Sc; 1 pound costs 7c..
 Cornmeals, "A oz. pkg. costs 10c, l pound costs 7c.
 Rice. 16 oz. pkg. costs Sc, pound costs Sc.
 Wordsworth. 20 OF. pkg. costs 17c, 1 pound costs 14c.
 "Ready-to-eat" cereals:
 Cornf1akes, oz. pkg. costs Sc, 1 pound costs 16c.
 Shredded wheat, 12 OF. pkg. costs 12c, 1 pound costs 16c.
 Puffed rice, 4 oz. pkg. costs 10c, 1 pound costs 40c.
 Rice crispies, OF. pkg. costs 14c, 1 pound costs BIC.
 A whole-grain cereal is always preferable to refined cereal, as it furnishes more mineral and vita mins, but this is true of "hot ce- reals" as well as the ready-to-eat varieties.
 Since there is no truth in the old tale that cooked cereals are heat ing to the blood" in hot weather, there is no physiological reason why oatmeal or cornmeal should not be used in summer. On the other hand,

infant and the care of the child be- fore and during school age. This particular function can prevent more illness and death among mothers and children than any other health activity.
 Appalling Loss
 Heretofore an appalling loss of life occurred during infancy. Great efforts were directed against this particular problem and an active campaign of prenatal and baby care was developed resulting in a marked reduction of infant mor- tality. Such an improvement in in- fant hygiene is evidenced i n the following figures.
 In 1916 the infant mortality rate was 1O8 and in 1887 the rate was 49. The rate, of course, equals the number of children under one year of age dying out of every 1000 chil- dren born in particular year. Each year from 1916 on showed steady decrease in the infant mor- tality rate and in 1885 the rate was

Preside Chat With Supt. Roach On Safety Problem

"You as the parents of our fu- ture citizens have as big a job be- fore you as we, the police" says Superintendent William J. Roach of the Waterbury Police depart ment yesterday. Tt is your duty as well as ours to see that your chil- dren grow up to be strong, healthy and upright citizens. Today the accident situation has grown to enormous proportions and the deaths caused by motor vehicles steadily increases. The police have been waging a relentless campaign to save lives and reduce accidents but we cannot do the work alone. We must have support and aid. Where are we to get this support and aid? From you, the parents of our future citizens. Instruct your children in safety. Tell them to stop playing in the roadways;
 to stop darting out into the street from behind parked cars; to stop chasing ball into the road way. These are only few of the life endangering movements of children but you, the parents and we, the police, must band togeth- CT in protecting our little charges. During the year of 1897 the death rate of school children reached a new peak. 4,920 were killed and 195,780 were injured throughout the nation. It is a gruesome thought but a true and proven fact that one out of every three children faces the probability of

death or injury before reaching maturity. The training of the mind and body is of no essential value to our children if they suf- fer the loss of life before complet- ing the happiest days of life. We have a gigantic job before us; therefore we must put our efforts together and give our children all the assistance humanly possible by instructing them in their own personal safety and the result will be-future citizens of which our community will be proud"

if the budget permits of cereals at 40 cents a pound, there is no reason why the "ready-to-eat" cereals can- not be used.
 But obviously the mother who needs to get maximum health pro- lection with her food money will not spend 40 cents when she can get the same food value for 2 or 8 cents.

The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

One of the most significant features
of American public life is the fact
that we have free and public school
system. This offers fine and equal
opportunity for all to acquire good
education. And a good education is
not only one of the best things that
a country can offer its citizens. 1t
is also the best safeguard against
forces and influences that might en-
danger our democratic institutions,
and thus it helps safeguard the coun-
try. Good education works both ways.
There are undoubtedly many faults
in our prevailing school system, but
most of these can be eliminated by
an aggressive and progressive peo-
pie. And the inherent shortcomings
of our system cannot be remedied
unless we turn to an entirely diff
ferent type of system which will
have other wrongs that are perhaps
greater. We cannot have a public
school system that is not secular in
character. Schools giving a relig-
ious education must necessarily be
private in our country, and if we
had to rely on private schools, we
could not have free and equal OPP
portunity of education.
Giving our public school system
its rights and recognizing its great
advantages, the church must never
theless be aware that it is not enough
to give the children an education that
is secular in character. Such an
education may be the best of its kind,
yet it cannot be based on that God
centeredness which is the essence of
a religious education. For this rea-
son the church sponsors Sunday
schools in which it gives instruction
in and understanding of Biblical and
religious truths It is often difficult,
however, to offer sufficient under
standing when other instruction is
given from another point of view
The gap is not very great when the
public school teachers are them
selves church people and when they
choose their texts carefully, but this
is not always the case. Permit me
to say, that this is not written with
our local school in mind, where we
have some fine leadership, but in
view of the situation as whole).
We are this summer offering short
course sponsored by the church. Be-
ginning June IA, there will be school
in the church basement five days a
week from 9 to IL o'clock There
will be Bible hour and devotion,
a period of recreation, and period
of Danish singing and story telling
There will be Bible classes in both
languages. This course is free, and
we invite all parents to send their
children. Perhaps neighbors will join
efforts in giving transportation.
