The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-12-08

The defendants appear was
brought before the superior court
but Judge William H. Comley re-
served the case for advice of the
higher court. The commissioner
ruling In one other local case like
wise was upheld today by the Hart
ford court.
The school employee, an instructor
sustained an injury to his left hip
October %, 1910 while kicking a Soc
Ger ball. Previously in August, 1888
he suffered a dislocation Of the
same hip while wrestling, but the
injury was in no way connected
with any employment. The first in
Jury resulted in q progressive dis
ease which did not disable him,
however, and no waiver of compen-
sation rights on the basis of the
condition was sought by the school
when he entered its employment, it
was pointed out. After the soccer
incident ten condition became ag
gravated, the testimony showed.
Compensation payments were
awarded at the rate Of $14 for 1248
weeks for go per cent loss Of use
of the left leg. Twenty five per cent
Of the loss was accredited to the
second injury and the other rs per
cent to the progressive effect OF
the first injury.
In one part Of the memorandum,
written by Justice Allyn Brown, the
court cites an old construction
which states, Compensation is not
made to depend upon the condition
of health or the employe, or his
freedom from liability to injury
through constitutional weakness or
latent tendency 1t Is the haz-
ard OF the employment acting upon
the particular employe in his con-
dition of health and not what that
hazard would be If acting upon a
health employe or upon an average
employe."
A statute clause which valves
certain payment to employees who
have pre-existing diseases was said
by the plaintiff to refer to "occupa-
tional diseases" and not to the type
which he had and which non occu-
pational. His stand was upheld.
In the other case, that Of An
thony Guerrero, against w. j. Me-
gin, Inc, a judgment was returned
for the defendant and it affirms an
original award made by the local
commissioner.
The worker sustained a back in
fury March II, 1888 and disability
payments were made but when at
tempts were made later to rehabili-
tate the worker he refused to CO.
operate or to accept settlement on
his claim, tn memorandum states.
The final award provided for week.
ly payments of $2,72 as Of January
81, 1899 during his partial disability
period, and 1t was from this award
that the employe appealed.

production that will boost total
food production above last years
figures.
Food crops, even though acre
age will exceed 1912 by three per
cent, will be II percent above the
average of 1853 but about 10
per cent below last year as result
of a decrease in yield per acre. But
the decline will be offset by 10 per
cent more food livestock which will
boost l943 figures 38 per cent above
the 1853 average.
MORE PER CAPITA
The agricultural bureau of econ
omics reported that compared with
1912, civilians in 1943 would get more
per capita of pork. eggs, chickens,
fluid milk, fats and oils, fresh cit
rus fruits, canned juices, dried fruits,
potatoes and dry edible beans. They
will get less beef and veal, lamb
and mutton, fish, most dairy prod
ucts other than fluid milk, fresh
and canned vegetables, sugar, rice,
tea and cocoa.
From a nutritional standpoint, the
bureau said, the civilian per capita
food supply will compare favorably
with the average for 1859 with
high quantities of protein, miner
anl and vitamin A; calories in l943
will be about the same as those
average years.
