Patients Initiated

Young women attendants, so. called, one of whom initiated tho walk of 6 patient stricken with St Vitus dance. Lack of proper medi- cine, even aspirin, which was issued only upon order of one of the phy- sicians attached to the hospital Stark cruelty, in the form of slap ping, punching and pushing around of defenseless women, many of them on the verge of death, due to phy- Eical and mental disorders in which recovery was hindered rather than helped.
 Free use of the "cold pack" in which patients were strapped in bed, Surrounded by ice, because they had talked back" to one of the att tendants, the latter having power to handle the patient in any way she chose without consultation with anyone in authority. The "cold pack" is beneficial in some types of mental cases where patient be- comes violent, Mrs. Donais explains, but is sheer agony to others who receive it, regardless of mental or physical condition.
 Nocturnal Excursions
 Nocturnal excursions by some at- tendants to New London where some of them would remain all night, and report to the hospital for work at 5 or 5:30 o'clock in the morning, with out even cleaning themselves up" as the Waterbury woman charit- ably puts it.
 Two towels used by a group of 26 or 2S patients. Hanging of night gowns in one group, so that pa- tents were far from sure that they would receive the same nightgown used on previous night.
 Evidence of hangover" among women attendants, which would re- suit in untold and unnecessary suf- fering by some patients the next day, because of the mood that at- tendantS happened to be in, their duties being performed according to their own judgment.
 Patients Locked In
 Locking of patients in rooms, who were sometimes overlooked" when 1t came time for meals, and, as a result, ordinary cases of mild mental derangement became violent" ard were treated accordingly with the "cold pack" beatings, punching, and general skipping around.
 Forced feeding" in which pa- tierts unable or too sick to eat the starchy, sloppy food set before them with a spoon (no knives or forksJ had the food damned down their throats, after which they usually became nauseated and physically weaker than ever.
 Some of the attendants have mo- tors for hearts" Mrs. Donais stated with marked feeling, "and 1t is shalae upon the great State of Con- nectlcut that such conditions could possibly exist in this country where life, liberty and the pursuit of hap pniess is guaranteed everyone under t-le Constitution of the United States"
 Dr. Waterman o. K.
 Relative to the attendants, and supervision, Mrs. Donais made plain the fact that Dr. Chester Water man, superintendent of the institu- ton is "a nice man as far as I know, but we seldom saw him. As for the attendants, most of them are good women who try to help the pa- tients as much as they can, but are prevented from doing so, because of the seniority" of others who have been employed there for a longer period of time and run the place as they see fit. There are only some half dozen people, including attend ants, a graduate nurse and two doc-

 The Republicans began their cam paign with the handicap of a may. oralty candidate little known to the people and the resentment of many Italian Republican voters at the re- f,isal to give the nomination to Mayor Patrick M. Perriello, The Upson-Pape control of the party, demonstrated during the primary and conventions, is not liked too well by many members of the par ty. The dropping of Alderman Fen. ton Niver from the ticket also caused considerable displeasure.
 The conspiracy trial reacted to the advantage of the Republicans of course, but its use as 0 campaign issue lost much weight when the Democrats cleaned house in their own party, reorganized the town committee and brought forward new candidates.

@. Does Thanksgiving have
Biblical origin?

A. Yes. According TO authors
tative opinion, the harvest festival
established by the Puritans Is un-
doubtedly based on the traditional
Thanksgiving observance OF the
Hebrews as recounted In the Old
Testament.
Governor william Bradford,
when he refers to Thanksgiving
In his History Of Plymouth Plan
tation," quotes from Psalm l26.
which the Jews have used since
time immemorial to introduce
grace after meals on festival days
and on the Sabbath.
The Pilgrims familiarity with
parallels they drew between them.
the Scriptures, the numerous
selves and the Children OF Israel
and their frequent quotations Of
Biblical passages referring directly
to Succoth, the Hebrew harvest
festival Of Thanksgiving, all point
to the conclusion that our Thanks
giving has q religious origin trace
