ALWAYS PREPARED CAMPAIGN SLOGAN

A special opportunity for negroes to become more conscious Of per- soYlal health and their civic respon- abilities in contributing to the gen- eral health of the twenty-Eeventh National Negro Health Week, points out the weekly bulletin of the State Department of Health. The slogan this year is "Semper Paratus - Al- ways Prepared" Plans suggested by the National Negro Health Week committee call for cooperative ef- fort of home, school, church and community agencies concerned with the health and welfare of the peo- pie.
 Of vital concern are personal health habits and protection against disease, prevention against those diseases that take such a heavy toll tuberculosis and syphilis, and im- munization of the children against smallpox and diphtheria. Impor- tant factors in personal health, the bulletin emphasizes, are wise se- lection of food and periodic dental and physical care.
 To main the highest degree of health there must ba good propor- ton of the protective foods such as milk, cheese, green leafy and yell low vegetables, citrus fruits or toma- toes, breads and cereals of the dark variety or those enriched with ex- tra vitaminS and minerals. These foods can be purchased at low cost, the best returns in money spent being assured by substituting foods of high nutritional value at lower cost for the more expensive foods.
 At many of the meetings being held during National Negro Health Week the need for child and ma- ternal health is being stressed, ac cording to the bulletin. This gives an opportunity for calling to the attention of parents and encourag- ing them to us the community health facilities that are available for negroes as well as whites.
 Clean up and sanitation Is another important phase of the weeks pro- gram to be given special emphasis. The bulletin stated that this fits in well with the general community program which annually stresses this feature of community health at this time of year. An intimate part of community health is home and personal cleanliness. Special pro- grams are being arranged along these liness aA-A l..-@.a 4 4

Smigelski Acting
 As Borough Warden
Third Ward Republican To Be Paid As Such Until Sue,
 cessOr to Sheridan Is Appointed

Naugatuck, April D. Leo Smig- elski, young Republican from the third ward, is acting warden of the borough today. He became this at ll:l0 last night when after he had read the resignation of John J. Sheridan as warden, and the borough board voted to accept the resignation, MT. Sheridan swore him in as warden, and he in turn administered the oath of the ofnce of fire chief to MT. Sheridan.
 Just prior to this thereA was Q round of oratory, with Mr4 Sheri- dan and Burgesses Joseph Nygren, Fremont Hoadley and Smigelski and Thomas Broder and George Fellows giving talks. Most of 1t was of a complimentary nature.
 MT. Sheridan said the borough has come through trying times quite well, said much credit goes to the departmental heads of his administration, lauded local teach CTS and High School Principal Charles P. Blade and Supt. of Schools Harold E. Chittenden for the work they have done, and praised the borough board mem- bers.
 He said he will enter into his new duties as fire chief, T hope" with the full cooperation of the members of the next board and of the people of the town. The board has had It's differences of opinion but with the closing of a day these grievances are wiped out with it." He carries no desire for revenge with him, he said. T have tried to be fair to everyone" MT. Sher- idan added.
 He said he wanted 1t distinctly understood he is not supporting or sponsoring the candidacy of any candidates whatsoever. T go along on the principle on which I was appointed fire chief, fair con- sideration for everyone. As fire chief I will cooperate and will lend every effort to be successful in my new work" He expressed the hope that as time goes on, i've will have Q vigilant citizenry here to see te way they should be handled" He thanked the board ana the people of the town for their cooperation.
 Burgess Nygren who is not e candidate for renomination thank. ed the board members for thu tolerance and kindness they have shown him during his fiv, years on the board, and said al though there have been differences of opinion, the fundamental aim. are the same with the difference being the means to those aims.

.'NO BOSSINC ME-
 CLAIMS FARREN
Democratic Nominee for Warden Ayers Registered
 Members Backing Him

Naugatuck, April 2-The register ed Democrats are backing him, James Farren, nominee for the Democratic nomination for warden, said ina recent statement.
 The action of the "so-called First Ward Democratic club" in indorsing Peter Meegan and Joseph L. Din- neny shows the situation has made them jittery, Farren asserts. He says Dinneny has repeatedly said he would not be @ candidate but he has been forced to change his mind because of Farren's candidate for burgess, Arthur Brazil, @ World War veteran with an excellent service record, who is taking the ward by storm and would have easily defeat- ed the candidate Dinneny and his clique had selected to be his suc- cessor," MT. Farren says.
 He adds his views are consistent with those of Warden John J. Sheridan and expressed confidence the Democratic voters would in- dorse him. T have information to the effect they are seeking the dele- gates at the caucus Friday night not for themselves, but for Leo Bro- phy, and this proves that they have been against Warden Sheridan right along because Brophy always op- posed him when Q burgess from the second ward" Farren adds.
 "These first ward politicians are against me solely because they know I cannot be bossed and neither could the warden be subservient to their wishes and desires. That's the reason why he was never popu- lar with them and that's why I am not in their good graces at the present time," MT. Farren states.
 MT. Farren expresses doubt that they will support the Democratic party on election day if he is the party candidate for warden "be- cause in the past they have not done so as the records will show" He said, to those who have ques- toned his democracy, that he has been @ registered Democrat for years, worked for the interest of the party long before some of them knew the mean of the word Demo- cratic. T challenge any person ol persons to question my right to TUT run for Q nomination on the Demo- cratic ticket. If I have ever bolted the party, then 1t was their duty tc see to 1t that my name was stricken from he list according to law" he says.

QUEBEC, +. ", sept. n.
ScORES OF visitors to Quebec
- are now getting their first
view of q northern logging drive.
In Laurentides Park, the vast,
government controlled wilder
ness for vacationists just north of
Quebec City, logging is going at
full speed, and sportsmen and
their wives from many OF the
nearby fishing camps, as well as
motorists en- route to Lake st.
Jean, are hating at the scenes
of activity just TO see how it is
done.
It's not often that Quebec Wis
itors have chance 10 see a log
drive. Generally, this takes
place in the early Spring, when
the ice melts and most would-be
vacationists are still chained 10
their desks. But this year. due
10 the unprecedented demand for
lumber and for pulpwood for
Canada's paper mills, logging
has been carried on somewhat
later than usual. Because of an
unusually dry Spring, lumber
men are taking advantage OF
the Summer rains, and conse-
jquently swollen rivers, TO get
their logs TO market.
Although there are several
points in the Laurentides Park

lest of access is where Highway
