Sanitary Conditions
 Declared Menacing
 By Yale Investigators
Enforcement of Laws, Regular Inspections Recon mended-- Additional Food Inspectors Needed
 to Properly Supervise Eating Places Here

Intensive study of the housing problem" accompanied by a regu- lar inspection and enforcement pro- gram in Waterbury's low rent areas is recommended in the health sur- vey made here by the Yale univer- sity department of public health in conjunction with the local health department. Printed copies of the survey, which have been sent to members of the citizens advisory committee, state that sanitary con- ditions are poor in many low-rent dwellings.
 School Hazards.
 In connection also with the ques- ton of sanitation, the Yale group recommends that study be made of structural hazards in the school buildings and that a five-year pro- gram of better school sanitation, in- cluding replacement of antiquated equipment, be established. It is also recommended that sanitary regula- tions for restaurants and taverns be more strictly enforced, the survey stating that more food inspectors are needed.
 The survey was completed recent ly, after several months of work un- der the supervision of Dr. Ira V, Hiscock.
 Thirty per cent of the city's popu- lation lives in low-rent sections says the survey, and about one- third of the dwellings visited lacked

 INJURED SUNDAY
Pair Taken to LitchieId Hospital After Auto Ac-
 cident in COIebrO0k

Winsted, July 15-The condition of two persons taken to Litchfield County Hospital following an early morning accident Sunday in Cole brook remained serious Sunday night, the hospital reported.
 Mrs. Mary Marconi and Thomas Ragoni, botr of Albany, N. F., and most seriously injured, have deep cuts and possible internal injuries. Also taken .o the hospital but less seriously injured were Angelo Mar-- conf, Mrs. Fannie Ragoni, and Jean Marconi, all of Albany, N. Y. Mrs. Anna Schwartz, Theresa Schwartz, and Robert Marconi were discharged from the hospital.
 State Policeman Edwin F. Pequi- not of the Canaan barracks said Sunday that Angelo Marconi, driver of the machine, was travelling east on Route 183 and, being unfamiliar with the road, was evidently read- ing the highway signs. He passed through the intersection, and the car crashed into Southern New England Telephone Company pole, and bounded back a distance of 9 feet. The injured were taken to the hospital by Peter Maxwell of New Rochelle, N. r., and by the ambu- lance of John J. Shea. All the in. jured were occupants of the one car, mad the only one uninjured was the one-year old baby of Mrs. Mary Marconi, who was riding on the mothers lap.

and Lois Lindsay serves as re- porter. On Wednesday, July 17th, the All Club meets again at the Parish House. Mighty few towns have a better group in the All.
 Headlines! We always said this town would get on the map for something more deadly than the Encouragement of the Ger man American Bund, but we did not expect so much cooperation from the Big Town Press. On Tuesday last, our folks were sweltering under 8 summer sun, men were moving, tedding, rak- ing, and loading hay while dogs panted under the lilacs. Ken Wal ton killed a big woodchuck about three o'clock down Paradise way, but no other gun fire was heard. Topside, flirting with . puffy, white cloud, tiny monoplane tried split-essing, gave 1t up and went on home. We almost had a thunder shower, come evening, but nothing came of 1t except few flashes of lightning to i'm. prove the ozone.
 Wednesday, South Britain got the shock of its life; plastered on the front pages of the Herald Tribune and the New Haven Register were headlines that rock ed our confidence to the core. The story was by A-P, but it sounded like one of Dorothy Thompson's outbursts or the hysterical chatter of a breakfast-food radio pro- gram or a mid-morning soap opera. The old lady who is always calling all her enemies Nazis, looked over her glasses and grim ned.
 15O Warplanes in Fight Over South Britain! ;. Screamed the headlines! People ran out doors and peered up into the tranquil sky. Jerry Tarbox, our town mascot, was sitting on the porch scratching fieas when the news broke and frightened citi- zen ran outdoors so fast he upset Jerry and frightened the poor dog almost insane. Seven more re- cruits joined the Paradise Rifles. Eleven women got out their knit ting needles and frightened their husbands by working hurriedly on small garments for the Red Cross, (but the little sweaters are pink. and not o. D. Nervous citizens remembered our warning about the need of a cannon on Cannon Hill.
 We assure everybody, every where. that not single dogfight took place in the sky of South Britain or its environs. The only shot fired in the township was touched of by Ken Walton who exploded a woodchuck with a stub from a 22 Hornet. The most hos. tile thing afioat about this vii. lage during the twenty-four hours proceeding that news falsehood was q bat seeking moths, bugs, and other pests. South Britain is ct peace with everything on earth, except dizzy headline writers who haven't sense enough to stick to the truth.

I believe the United States should adopt ccmpul-
sorry military training Immediately.
It should be adopted now, while we have time to
too vast numbers of men, too great of mon
ey, and moves too fast. to wait for volunteers. If
comes, power Will be drafted. If compul sorry
military training has not been in effect, there Will
again be confusion, loss of time, loss life and
loss of wealth. Months of delay, in the World
War II, Will be inevitable. IF defeat does not ar
rive tor us before We are fully prepared, victory
will such cost, in life and in dollars, as to
stagger the Imagination.
The effects of compulsory military training will
place every American youth of military age on the
5ame level. It is the only Democratic way to ade-
quate1y assure unlimited and effective National
Defense.
Voluntary en1i stments do not represent a cross
section of our American There is reason why
the defense of this great nation should rest upon
the shoulders of few patriotic Each and
every man who calls himself American should be
willing to protect the freedom and integrity this
nation regardless of his races color, creed or fl
nancia1 standing. We Will always have the so-ca11ed

Auxiliary have been advocating compulsory military
training for the past ls years and the time now
come for concerted action the part Of every A.

none, has National Defense program, which Is
to none, and compulsory military training is the
