POLICE DELEGATES
 PICK WATERBURY
l939 Convention Coming Here - Oppose Special
 Sheriff Appointments

The Connecticut State Police asso- ciation, in convention yesterday at NorWalk, awarded the 1889 conven- tion to Waterbury. Local members of the association will make elab- crate plans to entertain policemen from all parts of the state at next years session.
 Chief Garrett Farrell of Hartford was reelected to the presidency of the state organization. More than 300 delegates attended.
 Resolutions passed included one aimed at movement to prevent policemen from receiving fees for ap- bearing at inquests, one opposing the appointing of special deputy sheriffs whose work conflicts with that of supernumcrary policemen, and a third seeking to give local police departments authority to de- termine the number of policemen needed for duty at boxing and wrestling shows.
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach attenuded a chiefs meeting k conjunction with the convention.
 Sergt. Joseph Petit, state vice. president, headed the local delega- ton. Also attending from Waterbury were Lieut.. William Pollard, mem Der of the state legislative commit tee; Lieut.. Joseph Bender, Sergt. Bernard Burns and Patrolmen Thomas Bergin, James Moore, James Sweeney, Patrick Kennedy and Pat rick Reilly.

 Such a proposal in no way justi- fies the application of that we'll worn epithet "socialized medicine" It in no way implies a central con- trol from Washington or an inter- ference by non-professionals in the relation between the physician and his patient. Programs of medical care can be operated only by phy- sicians. Hospitals, whether one finds them under private endow- ment. or public taxes. are always run by physicians. The relation between the physician and the pa- tient can be as direct in the public hospital as in the private.
 These proposals would help the doctor to give better medical care. They would bring the medical pro- fession into direct relation with

dollars is a large sum of money The problem is large. The human resources we seek to conserve are as valuable to the nation as all of it's material resources.
 Every year 70,000,000 sick persons lose more than 1,000,000,00O days from work in the United States. Ill., ness and premature death cost the United States approximately $10,- 000, 0,000,0 year.
 That estimate includes only those factors which can be expressed by dollar values. The definitely pos- sible achievement under an ade- quate public health program would run far in excess of 5000, ,OO0, 900 year. On hundred per cent would seem a very adequate return on such an investment if we view the matter as cold econ o.nics and omit all human considerations.
 FEDERAL
 RESPONSIBILITY
 The federal government has, moreover, assumed responsibility under the Social Security Act for disability and dependency. AS a matter of good brLiness 1t cannot afford to permit unnecessary dis ability and dependency to threaten the stability of its undertaking.
 No radical change in medical practice is contemplated. On the contrary, the national health pro- gram proposes to provide for every community in the country and all groups of the population the meas ures for health protection and a medical service which now is had only in some communities or for the more privileged groups of the

PUPPET PLAYS AT
 BRONSON LIBRARY
Marionette Group Presents Three PrOducti0ns-Cin.
 derella Cast Rehearses

The children's marionette classes at the Silas Bronson library this afternoon presented three hand puppet plays, under the direction of Walden Trimble. The string puppet play on which they are now work ing will be performed in about week. After that, the next play will .be one with hand puppets. probably "RumpeIstilzkin."
 The preparations for Cinderella" in which the puppets will be manip- ulated by strings, are going on as quickly as can be expected. The lighting arrangement for the dif- ferent scenes is now decided upon. In order to get the proper effect in each of the scenes, the lights must be introduced at just the right angle, and with just the right in- tensity. The average person fails to appreciate how many considerations must be kept constantly in mind in giving puppet show of this sort.
 MT. Trimble and his assistants at the library are now experimenting with new type of marionette, which they have devised themselves. It Is made entirely of wood and leather, and is considerably more pliable than the usual type of pup pet. An additional advantage is that the new type more closely resembles human being in It's manipulation of It's limbs, and hence is more rcal- istic

BURKE PREFERS
 MERIT SYSTEM.
Explains 10 Kiwanis Club Causes of Bad Govern.
 ment, Misrule

Bad government is supported by two groups, one we can called the informed, the other the nnisin- formed" William F. Bunker, presi- dent of the Waterbury chapter of the Merit System association of Connecticut, remarked yesterday at the meeting of the Waterbury Ki- wanis club at Holte Elton. He elaborated his statement by describ- ing the first group as those per- sons who want the spoils system for individual profit; the second group, desirous of good government, fall- ing under the influence of spoils politicians, hence becomes "f1isin- formed about the real issues in- volved."
 Three legislative objects were listed by the speaker as essential to good government:
 "A merit system for appointive offices and jobs; a non-partisan election with the short ballot for elective officers and city man. ager charter"
 Further, he said, After these things have become law, citizens organization can assure success by examining and making public the record of the administration. This is fact-finding and auditing work. The program is based on the be- lief that the people can be trusted to favor honor, integrity and jus- tice, and to keep out of office any man whose record is not in accord with these principles"
 He placed the blame for corrupt practices in politics on system of laws whereby political machines control the government.

 Night Schools Puzzle Authorities

The members of the local WPA educational staff are cooperating with the state department of edu- cation in making canvass of form CT evening school pupils here, in order, if possible, to determine the reason for the recent decline in the evning school registrations.
 All those who have previously at- tended evening schools in Water bury will be asked to i'll out un- signed questionnaires, and 1t is hoped by those making the survey that the information obtained in this way will help in solving the problem of decreased registration.
 Tn order that 1t may be enabled to make the survey as rapidly as possible, the local WPA staff will be increased by the addition of five more workers.

many who are not now their pa- tients but who ought to be.
 Those of us who are concerned with the progress of medical science usually think that the great events of medicine occur only in the re- search laboratory, or the operating room. We have witnessed here in Washington another kind of pro- gress in medicine-ar1 effort to put medical science to work. The Na- tional Health Conference may well be the greatest event in medical science which has happened in our time.
