New Haven, Conn, Aug. se--A thgee-point program to safeguard the health of 100000 school children who win enter schools in the state for the first time next month was proposed today by the Connecticut State Medical Society.
 aParticipation In the activities ot OUT Connecticut schools will be a new experience in the lives of these many boys and girls" a spokesman for the society stated. Parents can help to insure academic succeeds by taking the following medical precautions:
 ''l. Each child should be vac- cinated against smallpox.
 "a. 1noculatious should be given to prevent diphtheria.
 ''S. The family physician should make ,a a thorough physical exaEni- nation Of each child"
 The society pointed out that the examination is intended to discover any defects which may be Tenedied or physical conditions for which treatment should be instituted.
 Contact with hundreds 0t acQuaintances will, Of necessity, ex- pose the school child to communic- able diseases" according to . state ment issued by the physicians, Many of these ailments are pre-. ventable."
 For those who are going to school for the first time there will occur

be affected include those who sell mechanical srefrigerators of less than 12 cubic feet capacity, house. hold washing machines, ironers, suc- tion cleaners, cooking stoves and ranges, heating stoves, space heat CTS, electric dishwashers, room unit air conditioners, sewing machines, radios, photographs and musical in- Struments manufactured chiefly out of metal Dealers in this category will have to ask a twenty percent minimum down payment, and 18 months maximum in which to pay the balance.
 Fifteen per cent down and IS months to pay will be asked for household furnaces, and heating units for furnaces (including install lations for oil, gas or coal stokers), i, household water heaters, water pumps, plumbing and sanitary fix lures, home air conditioning syS- tems and attic ventilaing fans.
 For new household furniture live boxes, bed springs and mattresses, exclusive of floor coverings, wall coverings, draperies, and bed cover ings), pianos and home electric or gans, ten per cent minimum down payment with 8 top of 18 months to pay.
 For new and used cars, airplanes, power driven boats, outboard motors and motorcycles, one-third down and 18 months to go. On amounts less than 1000 for real estate re- pair materials and services no down payment Is necessary, but a top waiting period of IS months is re- quired. The same restrictions apply to cash loans not in excess of $1,O00.
 Authority for the plan Is the Federal Reserve Board, acting upon President RooSevelt's recent order directing 8 clamping down on con- sumer credit as preventative against imitation, and 8 means of conserving materials for defense.
 What punitive action the board will take in the event of violations of any of the restrictions after Sep- tember 1St is not known. It may safely be stated, however, that any infringement will constitute an act of illegality.

 E. H. Painter, general manager ot Motors, Inc, stated yesterday that the concern had experienced wavt 0f buying in recent days, due t the desire of purchasers to avail themselves of the more lenient term; Sill possible to obtain. When the restrictions go into effect on Sep
 ermer l., the firm will fix min mum of B 1-3 percent as down payment toward a new or used car and a maximum of 18 months as the amount of time in which install ments may be paid.
 z In the past Motors, Inc, has per- 1iitted purchasers to buy cars with an initial payment of as little aS S percent. Defending this prac- tace, MT. Painter stated that he Raw no reason for not allowing 3 customer whose credit was beyond question every convenience possible No material change is expected tll the volume of sales, he declared However, since the purchasing ca pacity of the consumer has ex- banded with gerater earnings.
 As s. Nathanson, president and secretary of Nathan Hale Motors regards the credit reins as beneficial and feels that they will mot inn pose too much hardship" on auto' mobile dealers. Aside from whether Eae new enactments will operate tc the advantage or disadvantage o1 dealers, MT. Nathanson believes that ( significant result will be the re- duction of cases where persons pur- chase cars on Iong-term basis, tr effect mortgage their futures.
 Instances in the past have beer all too numerous, he points out where cars have been bought on in- Stallment payments for a period oi as much as 30 months, length o1 time not warranted by the earning ability of the purchaser. In ap- plying for the credit extension these persons are often prone to base theil average wages on the greatest amount earned in a ss1igle month but the actual average may be sub stantially smaller.
 <, Subsequent lay-offs or cyclical hard times often compel them to discontinue making payments with the result that dealers, or credit houses, must reposseSS the cars. The new measure will thus dispose of the tMin-evils of repoSsession and fu- tsire-mortgaging, MT. Nathanson de- Gaarex.
 In agreement with other automo- Nile merchants as to the salutary consequences of the restrictions, H .Walcott, proprietor of the used-cal business bearing his name, aver: that there will be no difference ir the volume of sales after Septem' her i ~ ,Sts@ 3fJ& atfaiaG Mr. walcctt has not noted any rarticular rush to buy cars as the Impending deadline approaches, and IS convinced that the level of bus mess will not alter at all. His policy has been, he states, always to in- stst upon a down-payment of one- thirds and only on rare occasions has he allowed a time-extension in excess of twelve months. For the consumer, he feels. the new situa- ton will work advantageously.

The most successful recreation we remember was when Missis Miller, eur Battery Commander staged 8 field day and bought two barrels of beer out of the battery fund to cool down the boys who raced and played polo. The cOl- Onel later ruled that no such ex- pendituro was allowed, so Missis Miller had to pay for that beer herself and it hurt. Today, we suppose Mlssis Miller would have gone to USO fer relief, or maybe USO would have issued 8 requisi- tion in triplicate for. two barrels of nice pink lemonade with straws and Dixie cups.

BAA 09Etl8uS the way Tn which they express themselves concerning this so-called "emer- gency."
 Swetland finds many men who are not properly proud 6f the uniform. He sees men sloppy and slouchy, showing signs of im- proper training and too shOrt drill periods. At play, he finds the troops rather inclined to emulate tho cowboy or the cop who has too much of authority. The l9zl issue of soldier is inclined to swagger.
 Jack figures this is . direct re- fection of civilian attitude toward the service and soldering. He be- lieves that some of the lax de- pertinent can be charged to the draft and to the reserve officers who are poorly equipped to handle men. These new issue soldiers lack the birthstone breathing of old time of1cers and non-coms, and they su11er from pampering.
 Soldering is A trade. It is taught by officers and non.c0mS. When leave is not granted freely, soldering is stricdy military and without any influence from :'outside.o When the drill periods are long and men are properly Hatigued, their recreational hours are conducted with proper re- spect for the uniform and for the civilians whom they meet. Per. haps this army suffers from too many furloughs, or from too much sOb-sister stuR i'm the press.
 Recreation in the service is where you find 1t. These new USO drives for millions of doIl- arS to be spent for soldier -sailOr welfare will first make soft jobs for political favoriteS and then start putting out for the fighting men. Somehow, we like the old way the best.
 We got precious little recreation fin the States. In France, our rec reatiOn was needing fancy pat- terms i'm the Boches plus some De- Eiodic ullimbering as we worried our way from enc front to the next. But in Germany thing were different.
