MEDICAL SOCIETY FAVORS AID BILL
Ageing Population In Need Of Care-Funds Would
 Provide Service .

Hartford, Conn.,, March 5--Con- necticut has an ageing population. Among this population are many elderly persons who have chronic sickness. The proposal made by the State Commission on the Prevention and Care of Sickness that the state make further immediate inquiry ii1- to this problem rete4ved ari. enthusi- astic response from the Committee Public Welfare and Humane Insti- tutions when the bill, s. B. 79, was heard by that committee.
 A representative from the com mission that made the study ap- 'peared before the committee and explained that in the study made by the commission the question, of. the care of the chronically sick was constantly referred to by the pub- lie. The commission was convinced that the most pressing health and welfare problem for the state to solve was to provide facilitie$ for the care of elderly persons suffering from cancer. diabetes, arthritis, heart and kidney diseases.
 Doctor James R. Miller of Hart ford appeared for The Connecticut State Medical society and support ed. the proposal made by the corll- xiiEsiol. '!Physicians .niore than any others" said Doctor Miller, "know the frequency with which these Ms- eases of advanced years occurt and the economic loss and suffe3ffg caused by them. It is time that the state directed its attention to helping these unfortunate people,"
 Following the hearing the conl- nittee on public welfare voted to request Governor Hurley that the commission that made the original study be continued until May ,ls ti, order lhat a dehiiite recommehda $ ton in this connection could be presented before the present gen. eral assembly. The question as to whether this need can best be met through a central state infirnlary as is the plan in some other states orS whetfef aa, more Satisfat ttofy method would be Ito have small in- stitutions attached to existing hos pitalS must receive first consldera- ton. It is believed by many that Q better quality of medical care would be providetd by the staffs of existing hospitals rather than the establishment of a single state chronic disease institution.

Domenic Ricciardi. Ss. of 20 welles street, charged with breach of9the peace as e result of house dis tafhance at his home yesterday af- ternOOn, was granted a dismissal by Juhae John L. Gaffney in city court today.
 Mfs. Domenic Ricciardi testified she would not leave her parents with whom she is living with her lrisbapd and a six months old baby because she said her husband threatened to kill her after Attorney John r. Tobin asked her If she would leave her people and set up housekeeping elsewhere.
 She said she feared to be alone with him. The quarrel started said the woman, while dinner was be- ing prepared. Smoke drifted throughout the kitchen and the husband grabbed the child and took 1t into the front living room. She said she was preparing to take the child to the living room herself, but that the husband did not wait for her.
 When he was in the front room he started shouting and as re- suit created such disturbance that Q quarrel followed. s..
 As the testimony proceeded with the questioning of the wife, Atty John Tobin asked her how she first met her husband, to which Mrs Ricciardi refused to answer.
 Prosecuting Atty. Michael J. Cialullo then turned to Atty. Tobin and asked if he was another "Ha- ven MacQuarrie, with his marriage club.
 The wire said her husband wat not o drinking man, worked steadily and that his violent bursts of tenn per, were his only faults.
 ! Atty. Tobin argued that the caus- es of these outbursts were attribut- al,le to her in-laws, and that if they went to live by themselves the situ- etion would be corrected. The wife refused to leave her parents.
 Other matters disposed in court were: Four speeders, Carl Polce, 20 of 66 Webster street, Hartford, con- tinued to Saturday; Lewis W. Scar. pa, 30, of 98 Ashmun street, New Haven, continued to March 19. AL fred Oliva, 24. of i06 West street nolle on payment of $l0; and James Pesino. 2i, of 58 Laurel street, Bris- tol, nolle on payment of $l0.

PRESENT RUBBISH SYSTEM TO STAY
Special Committee May Urge Delay In Change Un-
 til Funds Are Provided

Continuation of the present pri- vate rubbish collection in Water- bury until such time as funds are available for establishment of suit able municipal system is expected to be recommended at a meeting to- morrow afternoon in the City Hall of the rubbish committee named last fall to study local conditions.
 Meeting several weeks ago the committee, of which City Health Officer pr. E. J. Godfrey is chair man, discussed informally a plan whereby the city would establish three dumping grounds in various sections of the city to supplement the one existing spot now in use on Fairfield avenue. However, 1t is un- derstood TOW that Dr. Godfrey and other members of the committee have become convinced that addi- tional dumping grounds will not solve the local problem. .'s
 While all members of the special committee are not agreed on what form of rubbish collection there should be in Waterbury or whether the city should commit itself to a program involving construction and operation of a municipal iacinerator all seem agreed that this is the ideal manner of meeting the situation.
 Some investigation has been con- ducted by the committee into the advisability of establishing several more dumping grounds and possible sites were inspected in different parts of the city. But opposition from ad- jacent property owners has already been threatened without any real official action being taken, so the problem of securing more dumping grounds is as acute as that of 8 su- pervised rubbish collection and dis posal.
 |; There are no funds provided in the current city budget for establish ment of a rubbish system and city officials have expressed unofficial opinions that none could be pro- vided this year even through trans fers from existing funds. An effort may be made at the end of the year to have an item provided in the health department budget for rub. bish removal, but this at the present time is more or less conjecture ano based on no official recommendation
