Point Program Outlined
By Candidate F. T. Calender

Pointing to his experience a.
safety commissioner from June.
>Ia3l. to June. 1855. Frank T. Cal
lender again a candidate for the
post. outlined his platform Tues
day. He vas defeated for re-
election BY Holmes Eastwood four
years ago. Calender lives with
his wife at SIS So. Tth 81. In his
program. the candidate outlined
five points expected Of the safety
commissioner.
FULLEST cooperation with
military and civilian defense
authorities and other law en-
forcement bodies: s-beffer
traffic control; s-adequate
fire protection; 4-better law
enforcement. and Sound
judgment on the city council.
Said Calender in his statement:
The most essential qualification
expected Of the next commissioner
OF public safety should be the
ability. experience and determine
ton to work in harmony with and
to fully cooperate with the army
and navy and civilian defense
authorities and with county. state
and federal law enforcement
bodies. Never has this kind Of
cooperation been so necessary as
II is now and. will continue to be
throughout the war To the end that
everything possible may he done
to protect the lives and properties
Of our people.
Citizens who are voluntarily
serving in civilian defense work
are entitled to have all possible
and assistance from
the city officials, and particularly
from the commissioner of public
safety. I know that by reason Of
my military experience. my ex-
perience in connection with veter-
an activities, my business expert
ence and my experience in public
office. l can serve the people well
in this regard.
Traffic Control
Marked improvement in traffic
safety conditions was brought
about during my administration.
The number of traffic fatalities in
Tacoma was reduced year by year
for four successive years Things
] did to improve traffic conditions
included the revival and bringing
about of efficient functioning of
the school boy patrol at public and
private schools, the elimination of
numerous blind corners by COM
polling the removal Of shrubbery.
the removal Of all hazardous mon
uments from street intersections.
the painting of fog lanes in the
streets for the first time. the in
stallation for the first time Of legal
stop signs at srterial street inter-
sections. the putting into effect the
white cane" ordinance for the
protection Of the blind, the con-
Quoting of traffic safety programs

the present commissioner to carry
forward the regulations and poll

ministration and 10 the disorgan-

Of morale in the police department.

has crept back into the depart

of directions, failure to back up

LOCAL NURSES !. AT CONFERENCE
Problems in Child Health Discussed at PrOvi-
 dence Meeting


 Problems ill child health and care were among those discussed at tho New, England Health Institute con- feronce held last week in Provi- donce and attended by four nurses from the Waterbury Visiting Nurse association, the Misses Kathleen Sullivan, Annabelle Wood, Doris FTlars and Eileen Consedine.
 Lectures on child health at tho tllree-day conference touched upon public health nursing problems, school health and care of crippled children.
 Especial emphasis was placed on tho importance of ilninuni1ation of children against diphtheria and smallpox, the local nurses reported, all six New England state health officers speaking on the subject. Likewise stress was given to the inl- portance of early treatment of chti- dren for physical defects. It was stated that rejections of men for military service would be cut down considerably had minor defects been treated when they were young,
 The effect of the sugar rationing program on health was brought out by several of the speakers who stated that the cutting down of sugar in diets, especially of chil- dren, will encourage the eating Of proper foods and will lead to healthier diets.

POLICE CONTINUE SAFETY CAMPAIGN
Protection Desired for Youngsters; Fatalities
 Reduced

'TIle Waterbury police depart ment Is striving continually to res duce the number of motor vehicle accidents in Waterbury--to put 2 stop to the deaths, injuries and property damage that result from accidents that could be avoided"
 "some day, perhaps, we will have a city virtually free of accidents The accomplishments of the police accident Investigating squad and ac- cident prevention bureau have shown that this is not entirely aTl imposSibility. During the past few years there have been amazing res dudctions in auto fatalities and auto accidents"
 The children Of today, the grown ups of a few years from now--are our hope for the future. If our safety plan succeeds, the rising generation will consist of young men and young women soundly trained in the basic priciples of safety, whc will follow the training given them
 Parents can do nothing better than to inculcate early in their chil- dren an appreciation of the simple way in which safety can Do achiev- cd. With proper training, children can be shown and made to realize that 1t is to their own advantage to cross only ct crogswaikS, to re- frain from playing in the streets and to follow the instructions oi policemen"
 '"The results Of our safety work fir Waterbury have shown clearly that lives can be saved, that injuries and property damage caused by auto- mobile accidents can be avoided. Our success has been possible only bee cause of the cooperation Of the citizen of Waterbury, who have realized what our aims are and have followed our suggestions"
 "op the rising generation we base our hopes of a city composed of citizens fully cognizart of the prob- lefnS and perils Of motor vehicle traffic, 8 community that will en- deavor to the utmost to be accident free"

OLD SUPERSTITIONS BLOCK RABIES AID
Proper Treatment Is Only Proven tive From Mad Dog Infection

i've From MaA Dog Infection
 Summer and dog days bring the annual discussion of mad dogs and the fear of rabies. Speaking of dog days there are c number of super stltioflg connected with the com inunicable and preveptabie disease known as rabies or hydrophobia. Most Of these SlperstitionS are either untrue or only partially true.
 There b only one preventive of the diseaSe and there iS no treat- Inent after the disease has developed This preventive. known as the Pas- tetr treatment, should be under taken after exposure to the disease. 4 person has been evpoged to the disease whenever he comes in con. tact with Q mad animal. If the ifls dlviduaI S bitten by Q rabid dog, the necessity for immediate treat- ment is intensified. If the iTldivid- ual only gets some of the infected saliva or foam from the mouth Of the dog on his skin, tt ig still an ex- posture although t may require longer for the disease to develop.
 4 public health ofiicial reported recently that . friend of the health department had offered to sell him mad stone as Q sure preventive for rabies. 4 few decades ago, mad stones were very much in demand. They are stones from the stomach of deer and are alleged by some to have the power to prevent rabies, The particular stone that was Of. fered to the public health worker was said to be even more wonderful in that when t was placed il1 con- tact with Q wound caused by the bite of afi animal in that when 1t was placed isl contact with . wound caused by the bite Of an animal, the stone would stick to the wound only if the animal that indicted # was rabid. If the stone did not stick, ta1e animal was not dieeased. At least that was the story Of the Owl1- CT who became dlggusted when the health Ofiicer refused to purchase the stone ct 8 fabulous price.
 Another etpeFstitiCn that often prevents proper treatment for per- sons aesalised by Tabid animals 6 the claim that dobs SO mad only during dcg days. Dogs or other animals can become infected with rabies in January just as vel as Jtis1e<0E Jlaly.
 Other niaStalgen ideas about rabies include tlae beliee that mad dogs travel only iit a straight line and that ail mad dcgs toans at the mouth

PRENATAL PERIOD
 MOST IMPORTANT
Prospective Mothers Ad' vised on Proper Diet;
 Food Recommended

Tho Children's Bureau has said that the nine months before a child is born constitutes the most nee giected period of his existence, The prospective mother who has had through childhood, through ado. lescence and through young adult. hood c well-balanced diet, has on hand ct the time of pregnancy a store of health which enables her to so through pregnancy with few changes in the normal diet. For those women who have not been SO conscientious about following c normal diet previous to pregnancy, c shift to a normal diet ig indeed indicated. The diet for the preg. nant woman varies little from the normal diet The daily pint of milk which b considered protective for the adult should be increased to one quart, thus providing building mas teriai for strong bones and teeth for the baby 50 that he will not rob the mothers supply. Eggs may well be increased to include one each day to provide more growth protein and to increase the iron content of the diet. A more generous supply of fruits and vegetables will provide additional minerals and vitanifs and serve az same laxatiyes. It is advisable to cat these foods every day unless your doctor ad. yIses you differently because of some special condition.
 ONE QUART or MILK: Drink at least 3 cups; take the rest in soups, puddingg and other milk dishes. Use cheese often.
 TWO FRUITS: One serving Should be either orange, grapefruit or tomato or the piices from these fruits. The other serving may be either Q raw or cooked fruit. Use apples, bananas, apricots, pruiies. raisins, figs or other fruits in sea- son.
 TWO VEGETABLES BESIDES POTATO: One serving should be raw; the other may be either cooked or raw. Use carrots, lettuce, cab- bage, celery, spinach, turnipg, beetg.
