The Navy Department has pointed
out that the annual appropriations
for the support of the Naval Reserve
have heretofore been insufficient to
give training to the desired numbers
required in the various classif1ca-

with relation to those in the volun-

These services, made possible by State and Federal funds, supplement and ex- tend the already existing facilities for the care of these children Since the onset of the crippling condition occures before the age of six in over seventy five per cent of the cases, and because early treat ment is especially effective, the bulletin pointed out that agencies in contact with preschool children have the greatest responsibility in locating the crippled child and placing him under care early.

Police Asked To Arrest Violators
Dr. Godfrey Points
 Out City's Health Placed In Jeopardy
Unauthorized Dumping in Various Sections of City
 Eyokes Numerous Complaints; Official Notices Disregarded Continuously By Offenders

"swamped with complaints about dumping" says Dr. Godfrey in his letter to Supt. Roach. He asks that the superintendent instruct all street and motor patrolmen to be on the lookout for violations of the regulations, and to arrest those found dumping rubbish elsewhere than at the official city dump on Fairfield avenue. The health depart ment. he says, has not sufficient staff to police the city, hence his re- quest for police aid.
 Warnings against illegal dumping have proven fruitless, pr. Godfrey says, and drastic action now is neces- sary.
 Menace to Health
 Dumping in unauthorized places, says the health officer, creates a dangerous condition. It makes for an accumulation of disease-carrying germs, and provides a menace to the health of the community.
 Dr. Godfrey says that in the event of arrests he is willing to ap- pear in court personally to aid the prosecution.
