Improvement Noted
 In Rural Schools
Sanitary Conditions Found Less Objectionable In Recent Survey Conducted By State Health,
 Educational Departments

in the July bulletin of the State Department of Health.
 School consolidation with subse-
 quent abandonment of one and
 two room schols has been ne of the important factors in bringing about better sanitation, MT. Sherman re- ports. In an earlier survey con- ducted in 1925 and 1926, there were 636 schools without public water supply connections; 488 schools were using wells, 134 used spring and IA used running streams. Inspections during 1940-41 revealed only SIS schools dependent on private water supplies, 283 relying on wells and 35 on springs. The use of potentially dangerous running streams as a source of drinking water has been abandoned. Many of these rural" school houses are now modern build ings equipped with all the sanitary facilities of urban schools.
 In 82 of the 128 towns where schools with private water supplies were found, samples of the water were satisfactory in all of the town schools. MT. Sherman calls att tention to the other extreme found in one town wheer bacterial aa- alyses of out of g school supplies indicated some contamination.
 The use of individual paper cups was found quite general, but in some cases pupils were required to use the same cup several days be- cause of an inadequate supply. Many of the schools are now equipped with drinking fountains. Quite a number, however, need slanting jets and suitable guards to protect against contamination from the mouths of users, as required by the State Sanitary Code.
 According to MT. Sherman, in practically all cases where water flush toilets were found in use, sep tic tanks and sub-surface disposal systems were operating without nuisance. In schools without pres sure water supplies, most privies were clean inside but few were fly- tight to safeguard against thetrans- mission of disease by flies.
 Reports of these inspections to- gether with results of water an- alyses have been forwarded to local health officers and boards of edu- cation in thetowns concerned. Im- provementS have been recommended where necessary to eliminate op- portunity for disease spread and to set a good example to pupils from a health education standpoint.

 Wallaceburg line in the face of "herce enemy resistance"
 The 27th Division will hold a position similar to the one 1t held in the World war when its infan- try units assumed the defense of sector on the left flank of the Brit lsh army holding the east Poper- inghe line in Belgium.
 The divisions yesterday recon noitered before commencing vest ward thrust late late night, push ing weak enemy outposts before them. They tested new principal Of reconnoitering for the "suuare" dlVlsion-a division with four in- fantry regiments.
 "Jeep teams" sped out before the main bodies. The teams were com- posed of swift five-seater command cars, known as "jeeps" and of light trucks carrying anti-aircraft guns. At least one jeep in each team was rad1o-equipped and a motorcycle messenger accompanied each team to make certain the results of the reconnaissance got back to head quarters. The last vehicle in the column was the getaway" car, in the event enemy resistance was en- countered. Because the team also includes 30 infantrymen armed with automatic rifles, it could act as self-suff1cient combat unit.
 Only Casualties
 The only casualties among ad- vancing troops were victims of chiggers and mosquitoes.
 I watched one detachment of soaked, dust-caked in- fantry break ranks and sprawl on the roadside for a short rest. As if by signal, the men began scratch ing their ankles and profaning the origin and nature of all stinging and biting insects.
 The enemy" was not spared either. One machine gunner lying on his stomach in a thicket, com plained:
 I've got a dozen chiggers under my belt and I can't turn the gun on them to get rid of them, either"
 His bursts of firing were punctu- ated by his rolling from side to side, scratching himself, first with | one hand, and then with the other.
 One infantry outfit, casting about | for ways to combat the chigger menace, imported fingernail polish, which they spread on bites, hoping to pickle and suffocate the insects simultaneously.
 Despite such distractions, the men are keeping their minds on the business of learning war. One sentry took his duty so seriously that he refused to let 8 press car | enter an area containing 155 nm. howitzers until he had received | permission from the commanding | officer.

General improvement in sanitary conditions at most public schools outside urban areas in Connecticut serves to highlight the tagging sani- tary prograss in the few towns where schools still lack satisfactory wa ter supplies and sewage disposal facilities, says Leslie K.

 The first phase of the maneuvers, between the fifth and eighth corps ended yesterday afternoon, shortly after the 45th Infantry division and the second armored division sur rounded a detachment whose chief 1nainstay was the first cavalry di- vision. Officials did no announce the victor, but the engagement proved the superiority of mechan- ixed forces over cavalry.
 Maneuvers Realistic
 As far as the maneuvers went, they were realistic, but I missed the noise of European warfare. heard only occasional bursts of rifle and machine gun fire.
 Lieut.. Gen. Leslie McNair said the army could not afford to use blanks in cannon or anti-tank guns, be- cause the present maneuvers are costing $25 100000 above the ordi- nary maintenance of the troops in- Yolved.
 There were few airplanes, and after seeing the civil war in Spain and the blitzes in Holland and Jugo- slavia, 1t Semeed strange to have the signs of war all around with out & constant menace from the skies.
 Having seen German dive bomberS in Jugoslavia decimate reinforce ment and supply columns, got dis tinctly nervous here when maneuv- ering troops moved or halted in close motorized columns or gathered in punches on wide open crossroads.
 There were no parachute troops, although understand they will be used later. Thus, thet roops, so far, have not experienced the feeling of facing frontal attack and sudden ly hearing somebody start firing from behind.
 The maneuvers, however, do have their Spectacles. One is Lieut. Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., commander of the second arnored division, roar ing down the road in the light tank he uses for a war taxi. His crash helmet protrudeS from the turret, and he dashes along narrow country lanes in fog of dust, sounding a horn that sounds like combination EDndon air raid warning and a giant Glaxon horn.
 General Almost Captured
 Many officers gently disapprove of General Patton's dashing about, ard he was almost captured yester- day before the "armistice" when his tank narrowly missed & mobile unit of "enemy" anti-tank guns.
 Another thrilling sight was to watch the Pima Indians, belonging | to the 185th Infantry from Arizona, | capture platoon of the 82nd Reg iment of horse artillery. was sit- ting on the porch of a crossroads store, washing the dust from my throat with a bottle of beer, when the platoon came by.
