DRUG FIRM |
COMPLETES Sol
SERVICE

Sixty years Of service TO Wyandotte
and the outlying district, by Catalan
Drug Stores, Inc, was celebrated on
Wednesday night with banquet at the
Wabeek tea room. Approximately 80
full time employees of the five local
stores were present as guests of the
management
established 90 years ago by John q.
Catalan, WyandOtte's grand old citi-
zen, who is spending the autumn Of
lite at his home on the corner OK
Orange and Fourth streets.
Later, a brother, the late Richard Is
Catalan, who died many years ago,
was taken into partnership and the
firm became Catalan Brothers.
Still later, John +. McInerney, who
had served his apprenticeship as 2
pharmacist with the firm, became the
manager and continued to operate the
business for a long period.
Twenty-Five years ago, in 1915, the
present manager, Clare II. Allan, took
over the reigns of management as
president. The business was incorpOr-
aIed as Catalan Drug Stores, Inc,
and an expansion program entered up
on until the enterprise now includes
five stores covering the entire city.
These stores, in the order of their es.
Establishment are: No. 1, 1894 Biddie
avenue; No =, 1908 Biddle avenue (;
Nc. 3, 1854 Bidd4e avenue; No. A, 14O0
Eureka avenue; No. 5, 4O1 Highland
avenue
During its entire 80 years of exist
ence, the Catalan drug store has been
owned and operated by men OF the
best ethical and civic standing. They
have not only been AL pharmacists
and merchandisers, but citizens of the
highest standing.
For the banquet Wednesday night, a
precedent was made by closing all five
of the stores at 3 o'clock p. m. This
was done in order that every member
of the organization might participate
in the anniversary festivities.
The banquet was featured, not only
by a material feast, but by the pre-
sence and participation Of some dis
tinguished people. The principal speak
er was ]. j. DOnlan, a trade extension
specialist and merchandising expert Of

year to year to the champions. More chess players were in attendance last year than any year since the meet was organized to include chess players. Many chess clubs have been organized in Connecticut Valley in recent years and they have turned out to represent their clubs and show their skill in competition at the meet.
 The main event in chess will be the Western Massachusetts and Connecticut Valley championship which will be open to all players in the valley. H. w. Thomas of Plainville, Conn. and Daniel Levin of Northampton, Mass. tied for the championship last year. It is hoped that Connecticut Chess Clubs will take more active part in the chess events this year as have the Con- neceicut checker players. Connecti- cut has some very well established chess clubs in the State Chess as- sociation. Arthur G. Powers of West Hartford was the first Connecticut player to win the championship which he did in 1885.

 Filing of the action last week dis- closed a family row over possession of the child.

Miss Talley attempted to take the child by force, Mrs. Nelson de- clared, but departed hurriedly when the police were called.
 In her petition, Miss Talley charged her husband had deprived her of her daughters company isnce December, 1895, shortly after the child was born. She alleged that her husband was financially un- able to care for the child, who was in immediate need of an eye opera tion.

NO TYPHOID IN
 STATE IN YEARS
Connecticut Boasts of Ex- ceptionaI Record; Water
 Supply Protected

Connecticut has been fortunate in not having typhoid epidemic at tributable to public water supplies for over a quarter of @ century, de- clared Frederick o. A. Almquist, as- sociate sanitary engineer, in the wekely broadcast fo the state de- partment of health. To continue the good record the necessity for con- stant effort and eternal vigilance on the part of supervisory officials was stressed.
 Abnormal taste and odor or slight ly discolored water, although un- desirable, may not necessarily indi- cate danger so far as disease germs are concerned, said MT. Almquist. Since disease organisms are invisible to the naked eye, sparklin and col- orless water may not be free from danger.
 To insure safety, samples of wa- ter are collected periodically from each public supply for sanitary anal ysis by the laboratories of the state department of health and addi- tinoal examinations gre made by other laboratories for wa ter utilities. Trained sanitary en- gineers of the departmen tmaintain close contact with public water sup- i plies by periodic watershed and treatment plant inspections and by investigations of piping connections to public distribution systems.
 Only approximately one per cent of the population of Connecticut supplied from public water sys- teins receives untreated surface wa ter, 1t was disclosed.
