New Social Security

Boston, Sept. 7.-CUP)-Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins favors a postwar Social Security program which would be paid through new payroll deductions.
 In Labor day radio address, Sec retary Perkins said her contemplated program would achieve freedom from want and would be maintained by deductions from 10 to F per cent of payroll, shared equally by employ CTS and employees"
 For at least the first 10 years of operation it would not be necessary for the government to contribute out of general revenue" she said.
 However, when the total cost be- gan to exceed 10 per cent, because of increased old-age retirement ben- efits, the government could we'll pay for the excess until eventually there would be equal three-way dis tribution of the cost
 We are well able to pay for an adequate system of Social Security, for the United States to maintain the prosperity of the world. This is the time for us to lay the foun- dations of an improved Social Se- curity and work opportunity system and Labor day 1884 is a good time to make the resolve that the nations war workers and the ra- tion's soldiers and sailors shall be planned for and made secure on a systematic insurance basis"

Connecticut Licenses
 254 Hospitals For '43
Monthly Bulletin of State Health Department Lists
 Types of Institutions Permitted to Function

with the licensing of institutions for nervous and mental patients. The detailed work of inspection for H. censing Is carried out by three bu- reaus of the department. The Bu- beau of Preventable Diseases takes care of the licensing of hospitals: the Bureau of Child Hygiene super vises the licensing of maternity hos- pitals and the Bureau of Mental Hygiene looks after the licensing of institutions for nervous and mental patients.
 Most of the 209 hospitals licensed under the hospital licensing law are licensed to care for chronic and coIl- valescent patients. Some of them the quite large institutions but the larger number are classed as nurs- ing homes or convalescent homes operated in buildings formerly used as private residences. Under 0 spe- cial amendment to the law in regard to licensing institutions for the care of nervous and mental patients, some of the hospitals for chronic and convaiescent patients and few Of the general hospitals are authorized to care for certain types of nervous and mental patients who would not profit by psychiatric treatment and who would not be danger to them selves, to others or to property. The hospitals licensed under the gen. eral licensing act are distributed throughout the state where they can be of most service to persons requiring hospital care.
 Of the 4l maternity hospitals H. censed, 10 are the maternity wards of institutions that arel icensed as hospitals under the other licensing law. A few of the others are hos pitals operated only as maternity hospitals, but most of them are the maternity wards of large general hospitals that are exempt from the hospital licensing law.
 Of the IA institutions licensed to care for nervous and mental pa. tients, l2 are authorized to detain such patients as may be committed through the probate court. The JULIET bWO akG tASCAASSA w SSAS ave patients suffering from other forms of nervous and mental illness who enter the hospital on @ voluntary basis; these two institutions are not authorized to detain patients.
 The amount of work required in connection with the licensing of hospitals may be appreciated when 1t is considered that at least one in- spection Is required for each license granted. In many instances repeat cd inspections are required to make sure that the hospital complies with sanitary code requirements. Also 1t is often necessary to investigate complaints that are made in regard to the operation of hospitals. On the whole, 1t may be considered that the standard of hospital care has been greatly improved by the H. censing procedure especially with reference to flre-precautionary measures.

We can go back in years to Q canvasser named Cres- sey or something like that, who never missed Q year in the city, and who canvassed all of the of- fices of the down town districts, and prepared report of excep- tional value to the public and the founders of the directory. He was Q tall and heavy, pleasant and gracious in his greeting, and made friends by the score. Every one he approahced seemed anx- ious to help him in his work, and to supply him with the informa- ton desired. We understand Mir. Cressey. If that is his name, has since gone in death.
