Wave of Illnesses Engulfs Waterbury
|NAUGATUCK MAN
 TRIES SUICIDE.
Courage of Police and Bremen Save August
 HaferSat From Death

Naugatuck, Jan. 20-Courage and alertness of local policemen and firemen saved the life of August Hafersat, 46, of 348 Scott street yes- terday when, police said, he at tempted suicide at his home. The condition of Hafersat was reported good at St. Mary's hospital yester- day to which he was taken after being overcome by gas.
 His wife Smelled gas in the cellar about p. m. yesterday and on in vestigation, found her husband ly- ing there. She phoned police and Sergeant Anthony Farrar and Pa trolman Wilfred Evon hurried to the HaferSat home. Despite the fact that the cellar was filed with gas. they battled the fumes and turned of an open gas jet, opening the cellar door and carrying the un- conscious man to the yard where they applied artificial respiration.
 In the meantime Police Chief John Gormley notified firemen and DDr.D DWalter J. Reielly. Acting Fire Chief James Quinn and Fire man John Moroney arrived with an inhalator and by this time Hafersat was showing signs of life. They ap- piled the inhalator and further re- suscitated the gas victim. Dr. Really then cTdered Hafersat removed to the hospital.
 When the police arrived at the cellar, they found a pipe which or dinarily feeds gas into a stove there, disconnected and the gas pouring into the cellar. There seems little doubt that had they arrived few minutes later it might have been too late to save Hafersat.
 Training these officers received several months ago in a first aid class, sponsored by the Red Cross, aided them in their work.
 Police said Mrs. Hafersat could not say why her husband apparently attempted suicide. She and her hus- band were the cny members of the family home at the time.

 Only handful of cases officially listed an influenza has been report ed to Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health cases, but there are scores of mild flu cases which are listed only as grip. Heavy colds have also been on the increase, and many were kept from work for this reason today.
 Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superin- tendent of schols, said today that attendance figures up to today have shown no unusually large number of abSentees, most of the heavy colds and cases of grip appearing to have affected grownups.
 Extra Beds
 Mother Mary Sacred Heart, sup erintendent of St. Mary's hospital, said that the institution has al- ready had to set up five extra beds to accommodate patients. More extra beds may have to be added, she said.
 Miss Aida Greer, assistant super intendent of the Waterbury hospital said that cases of winter diseases are more numerous than in the past several years but that the hospital has been able to handle all cases thus far.
 The state health department has been keeping close watch on the influenza and grip pandemic, which is slowly reaching a peak. Most of the fue cases have been mild, with fever for two or three days, then a rapid recovery.
 Health authorities have urged several times that persons suffering from grip or flu remain at home and avoid spreading disease to others.
