| Paper SALVAGE
School Children Urged to
Bring More Waste to
Various CenterS

Members of the city's newspaper
salvage committee today urged Wa
terbury school children not to
slacken in their daily collection of
old newspapers and magazines, so
badly needed in the nations war
effort.
Expressing appreciation for the 80
tons Of paper salvaged through the
schools last week, they pointed out
that corresponding amounts must
be collected regularly, week after
week, as long as the present short
age lasts. After the novelty of the
newly adopted program has worn
off, the need fer old paper will still
continue, the committee said.
Every family which includes chill
dren of school age is asked to see
that a bundle of papers is ready and
waiting on the days when collection
In its neighborhood is scheduled.
Children in each section of the
city bring papers to school on a
specified day every week, so that a
constant amount will reach the
schools, while collections from in
dividual homes are made only once
a week.

OF Illness That Hit
80 Ga||inger Nurses
Children in Neiehborhood

whatever agent caused the illness
last Wednesday Of some 80 nurses at

some other Washington residents,

had passed
Fifteen Gallinger nurses suffered
stomach cramps and other digestive
ailments severe enough to keep them
from work for one day. There were
reports of children in nearby area
and of employees Of another hospital
who became ill, with similar symp-
toms. about the same time, but DR..
G. c. DaLer. Health Department
epidermiologlst said he had received
no other reports or complaints
about arv such illnesses.
He said Health Department ex-
perts had been unable to trace the
cause of the illness since they had
no samples of the food that had
been served.
Dr. Edgar A. Bocock. Gallinger
superintendent. said three things
were under theoretical suspicion:
One item of vegetable food, the Gal
linger water supply, since service
had been closed down in one build
ing temporarily while some plumb
ing was being changed, and the
milk supply, but he was inclined to
discount the latter. He said Gal
linger receives its milk supplies once
daily, at $50 am. but pointed out
that even sour milk will not cause
illness unless some foreign element
gets into it.
