State To Safeguard
 Health Of Draftees
Unusual PrecautiOn to Be Taken When Young Men
 Are Called to the COlOrs for SeIective Service

Every precaution toward safe guarding the health of the young men of Connecticut who may be drafted under the Selective Service Act for service in the armed forces of the country following the Octo- Der 16, Registration Day was or dered by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin, according to an an- nouncement made by Colonel Ern- est L. Averill, State Selective Ser vice Director.
 Governor Baldwin immediately upon leaving the New Haven hos pita1 on Tuesday, where he had been confined for several days, dis cussed the problem with Director Averill. Several conferences had been held during the past three weeks on the health question and Dr. William B. Smith, Wethersfield, Medical Officer for Selective Ser vice submitted preliminary report to Colonel Averill yesterday.
 Tubercular Cases
 In studying the health problem the governor has been particularly interested in complete investiga- tion to detect possible cases of tuber- culosis, which under strenuous field training might develop, seriously af- fecting the future of the young men who might be called into service.
 Dr. Paul s. Phelps, director of Case Finding for the State Tubercu- loSiS Commission, John T. Stanley, a member of the commission, and Dr. Smith of the State Staff have com- pleted preliminary investigation into the amount of work involved and a definite program is to be planned, at the request of the gov- ernor.
 The examination of the young men, including complete x-ray ex- animation of the lungs and chest, will be sponsored by the State of Connecticut, Governor Baldwin told Colonel Averill, and will be in addi- tion to the normal physical exam ination and case history work, re- quired by the War Department when the men are inducted into Federal service.
 75O In First Call
 The details of the plan will be worked out during the next ten days by Dr. Smith and the tuberculosis commission. It was estimated on the basis of information availbale from Washington at this time that approximately 750 men in the state will be called on the first draft.
 Governor Baldwin has assured the State Selective Service headquarters that all the facilities of the State Tuberculosis Commission will be ready and available in connection with his proposal that x-ray exam nations be made in every instance as a sure check and safeguard to protect the health of each 'draftee' as he is summoned for duty.
 Colonel Averill in announcing that the governor had ordered the special examination said that inso- far as he had been able to determine Connecticut will be the first state to take step. "The tuberculosis survey" he said, twill serve i've purposes. It will assure every mar

3O6 892 Inspections Made by School Nurses Within Year
New Auto Drivers Labeled As Added
 Highway Hazards

The designating of park areas or streets where there is little traffic for the use of new drivers under instruction has been sug- gested by Motor Vehicles Ommis- siOner Michael A. Connor.
 In letter received today by po- lice chiefs throughout the state, Commissioner ConnOr pointed out that the construction of new cars with ignition switch and emerg- ency brake on the left of the Op- orator has made it impossible for an instructor to take control in an emergency.
 "The instruction of inexperienc- ed operators, therefore," the cOm- missioner wrote, "has become an added hazard on street and high way. Your attention is invited to the advisability of consulting with street or park department authro- tiles to ascertain if certain streets in outlying sections could not be designated as instruction thor. OughfareS or an area in land un- under control of the park depart ment set aside for that purpose"

Mary's hospital in the field of pre- natal and infant hygiene.
 There was total attendance of 845 at the four pre-school clinics op- erated by the health department during the year. This involved 1,547 individual visits, with $40 youngsters receiving toxoid and 505 being vac cinated.
 Health department physicians ex- anined 15.448 boys and girls in schools, during the year. Diseased tonsils and adenoids were found in 1865; heart disturbances were found in l74; and miscellaneous ailments discovered in 352.
 School nurses, whose work sup plemented by morning inspections by teachers, made grand total of 30g,892 inspections during the year. The work of dental hygiene in the schools was increased with 11,112 inspections and with 4,367 visits to the dental clinic.
 Dr. Godfrey says in his report:
 Infant and Child Hygiene
 The prenatal and infant work in this city continues to be performed by the Chase DiSpensary clinic, Visiting Nurses association and St. Mery's hospital.
 Seven well-baby stations, spon- sored by the Visiting Nurses asso- citation, are located in various sec- tions of the city. In these stations babies are weighed, formulas adjust ed and hygienic instructions given by physicians in those cases where the family cannot afford private service. Nurses visited the homes to give further instructions and to show how to carry out the doc tors orders.
 Four preschool clinics are oper- ated and maintained by the health department in different parts of the city. The correction of physical and dental defects before child enters school is vitally important.

 Kettletown is reported to be in revolt this year and it may take more than the usual funds to get the mountaineers safely back in the fold. Reports that patronage has not been satisfactory up on the hill are many and talk around the Oak Tree is to the ef- feet that much scratching will be done. Johnny Reynolds, Dem- ocratic choice for First Selectman, has been busy around Kettletown lately and we anticipate a more even distribution of votes from that region. If Johnny is as pop ular with the Kettletowners as he is with almost everyone else in town, the town election might turn out to be a contest, after all. Johnny doesn't live at Oak dale Manor anymore. He resides in new house on the Agnew es- tate and that's mighty close to Kettletown where the votes tally heavy.
 Johnny Reynolds is a native Southburian but he is likewise 8 friend to all hands in Britain. He has served his time as mo- tor mechanic, a farmer, and ag- ricultural expert. Johnny is the only man we ever knew who has been disemboweled by bull and has arisen from his misery with enough energy to take an active part in local politics. The best estimate of a mans worth can often be had from the men who work for and with him. Men who work for Reynolds, whether on the roads or around the es- tate of that motion picture ty- coon on Georges Hill, are all universally contented and attach cd to him. SOuthbury needs a man like Johnny at the very top of the local ticket.
 Speaking of bulls, the finest bull fight seen hereabouts in 8 good many years recently took place in the Parsell pastures. Ed War ner and his wife used to live just across the Pomperaug from the bull fight area, but Ed has van- ished. The last we heard, MT. and Mrs. Warner were seen walk ing toward Bethlehem.
 Among the signs of coming election are town Improvements such as . new light and . new stove at Bullet Hill school.

Follow-up visits to the homes were made by the school nurses for the purpose of discussing with the parent the advisability of having the defects corrected.
 The school medical inspectors inoculated 651 children with toxoid for prevention of diphtheria. Morning inspections are conducted in each school through the coOpera- tion of the teachers and the nurses. As a result, exclusions are made be- cause of suspicious symptoms of communicable disease or other ail- ments. Quite few children were either taken or referred to the dis pensaries, their own physician, and their own dentist or the dental clinics. Health talks were given in the class rooms by the nurses.
 In addition to assisting the medi- cal inspectors, doing follow-up work in the homes, and giving health talks in the schools the school nurses &C., complished the following:
