7,OOO Lives Lost In
 Home Fires Annually
Faulty Heating Apparatus or Improper Operation
 Blamed for Huge Losses in Life, Property

Keep the home fires burning and the fires from burning the homes, 3 is an appropriate slogan for home makers as wartime winter hears. say the statisticians of the Metro poltan Life Insurance Company, who pointed out that faulty heating apparatus or its improper operation is responsible for large part of the 1000 lives lost annually in burn ing houses, by burns otherwise Sus- tained in homes, and by gas aS- phyxiation. Twice as many deaths in accidents of these types occur in winter as in summer months. This, the statisticians say, indicates how important heating equipment is in the annual toll
 The conversion from oil to coal burning furnaces and the use of supplementary heating equipment because of the fuel oil shortage in the eastern and mid-western sec- tionS of the country, will undoubt- edly add to the dangers of the home this winter if precautions are not now taken, the statisticians warn.
 "The first danger" the statisti- clans say, lis that of setting house on fire. Proper attention to guard against dirty, defective or overheat- ed stoves, furnaces, dues, or pipes would avoid some of these fires.
 Many households will be shift ing from, oil to coal this winter, and in these cases it is important to have the change carried out by a competent engineer, contractor or

Deferment Promised
 Needed Farm Labor
SeIective Service Officials Announce Willingness to
 Cooperate; Recognize Importance of Agriculture

Hartford, Sept. 26-Renewed as- surance that Selective Service of ficials in Connecticut regard pro- duction of food as an essential war time industry and are seeking to avoid the serious disruption of Con- necticut agriculture as men are drafted for the Army came today from Major Vernon s. Morehouse, state occupational advisor for Se- lective Service.
 Farmers whose sons or hired men are essential to continued opera tion of the farm and production of food in commercial quantities should have no hesitation in ask ing that these men be deferred, said Major Morehouse. Since many men, formerly in deferred groups, are now being reclassified by local draft boards, Major Morehouse emphasized that prompt action should be taken in requests for de- ferment or in appeals from decisions of the local boards.
 "War Industry"
 Agriculture, in the eyes of Se- lective Service, is one of the essen- tial war industries of the nation" Major Morehouse said. Farm labor in Connecticut has now been reduced to the minimum necessary

Kenny Treatment At
 Hartford Hospital
Marvellous Results" Claimed in Treatment of Tnfan. tile Paralysis Victims; Nurses Took Special Course

Use of the Kenny treatment for victims of tnfanti1e paralysis is proving successful at the Hartford Municipal hospital, where 20 pa- tients ranging in age from six months to 21 years are under care for the dread disease. Contrary to previous medical practice, the Kenny treatment, evolved by Sister Kenny, Australian nurse, in the bush country of the island conti- nent, calls for frequent and pro- 1onged massage of muscles.
 Welfare Supt. William J. Ryan says that the progress of victims to- ward recovery under the Kenny treatment is marvellous"
 A group of nurses from the Hart ford Municipal hospital took courses this summer from Sister Kenny at the University of Minnesota. They are employing her methods in ham ding the 20 cases thus far report ed in the city. The welfare depart 'ment and the National Foundation for Cure of Infantile Paralysis are cooperating.
 The outbreak of infantile paraly- sis this year has been confined largely to Hartford. Waterbury has had no cases reported.
 Half of the Hartford cases are from two federal housing develop ments, and the belief is expressed that many of the cases can be- traced to the fact that many living in the developments came to the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-26

to carry on the food production required by greatly increased popu- lation of the state. All necessary men in agriculture should be de- ferred."
 The statement affirmed and strengthened the position on defer ment of farm workers previously taken by Major Herbert J. Schwa- bacher, predecessor of Major More house as occupational advisor, and by the late Colonel Ernest L. Aver i'll, state director.
 At their suggestion, arrangements were made early this year for county agricultural agents to in- vestigate claims for defeTment of farm workers, at the request of either local boards or state Selec- tive Service headquarters. This arrangement is still in effect and many cases have been referred to the county agents.
 Major Morehouse emphasized that each claim for deferment must be treated on its merits, but it is the duty" he added, of every employer of farm labor who believes his men are necessary to continued food production to make proper applica- ton for their deferment. He out lined these steps as follows:
 Instructions
 If a farm worker has not been classified in IA, but may be so classified, the employer should pre- sent claim for occupational de- ferment and fill out the Selective Service Form 42-A, which is an af- fidavit supporting a claim for de- ferment on occupational grounds This form can be furnished by the county agent, who can assist in fill ing it out. It then goes to the local draft board.
 When 8 farm worker has been classified as IA and is subject to the draft, the employer who be- lieves he is necessary man should appeal the decision. Supporting evidence, including Form 42-A, should accompany the appeal. The Selective Service local board can furnish all necessary appeal forms, and advice can be secured from either the county agent or the ap- peal agent Appeals by either em- ployer or employe should be made as soon as possible after classifica- tion, and within 10 days at the lat- est.
 If the appeal is denied and the employer still feels that his claim is just, Major Morehouse asked that he bring it to. the attention of Selective Service state head quarters for further consideration.
