REACH AGREEMENT
ON TUITION FEES
New Haven, Waterbury
Adjust LOng=Standing
Difference of Opinion

The cities Of Waterbury and New
Haven have just settled a suit over
tuition fees that go back ten years,
the Democrat learned today. Under
provisions of the settlement Water
bury Is paying New Haven $1,000,
while the latter city is paying Wa
terbury. $422.40.
The dispute began about 1888 and
continued until 1887, when the City
of New Haven demanded $1,000 as
this city's contribution towards eX-
penses of local children who attend
ed Elm City schools. The case was
finally returned to the Superior
Court of New Haven in September
of 1941, but even then judgment was
not forthcoming.
1t was announced this week,
though, that settlement had been
made with Waterbury to pay New
Haven $1,000 for its original claim
Of 81 900, while Waterbury's claim
of S80490 against New Haven was
settled for $422
During the height of the contro-
verSy Waterbury officials always
maintained that this city was be-
ing billed for more children than
were actually attending the New
Haven schools, hence the refusal
to pay the claim.

JURY DELIBERATESI
ON $4,000 SUIT
Charge Given By Judge
COmley This Morning;
Little Girl Injured

A superior court jury of 10 men
and two women deliberated nearly
two hours this morning before the
l o'clock lunch recess on the civil
action of Margaret Scorpion, 10
year-old local girl, against the Re-
publican American, Inc, and dis
cussion was scheduled to resume at
2 p. m. Closing arguments were
given yesterday afternoon by Attor-
neys Edward Mascolo and Francis
Feeley, who represent the plaintiff.
and Attorney j. Warren Epson, de-
Tense counsel, and the charge to
the jury was delivered this morning
by Judge William H. Comley.
The girl seeks $4,000 damages
for an eye injury sustained when
she picked up piece of wire in
front of her home at ST. Highland
avenue, February %, 1871. The wire
is alleged to have been used by the
defendant concern for binding a
bundle of newspapers and left there
by newspaper carrier boys.

war work will be re-dtrected back
to their profession. Those who
had retired for some reason, not
necessarily that of age, are being
asked to accept part time work to
meet the crisis. Refresher courses
have been opened for all who need
them.
So great is the need that the
Ministry of Labor is considering
the transfer of nurses with mid
Wifery qualifications from their
present hospital posts to a special,
mobile midwife service.
1t should be understood that in
Great Britain, midWives have al
ways occupied an important spot
in the maternity picture, bringing
into the world some 60 per cent
of the country's pre-war babies.
Unlike the American custom of
disqualification whenever possible,
most English women who could
manage it, regardless of social
position, preferred to have their
babies at home.
This preference for home con-
finements, mostly with midwives
attending, is responsible for Eng
lands present problem. For there
are not now nearly enough mid
wives to cope with the rising birth
rate, already at the highest peak
since 1881, and expected to produce
some $1,000 babies this year over
the annual average of GOO. COO.
Because of the midwife shortage
and the lack or unsuitability of
domestic help, prospective mothers
are seeking hospital confinement
in abnormal numbers.
At the College OF Midwives,
Edith May Pyle, president of the
International Federation of Mid
wives Unions, declared that
midwifery is the foundation upon
which the superstructure of matern-
ity and child-Welfare is built
The British midwife today is a
competent, skilled, fully trained
professional, able to take charge
of most cases except abnormal or
complicated ones. Usually per-
son of strong social and religious
instincts, plus infinite tact and pa
| thence, she eXerts a tremendous
influence for good and gains the
confidence of the family.
And for all this, points out Miss
, Pyle, plus a certain amount of
prenatal service and Ia days
post-natal care, the State Certi-
fed Midwife's fee is around $12
case.
No wonder that many midwivcs
left their profession for more
lucrative jobs in war production
A committee has recently been
formed to study the question of
increasing midwives' fees. In the
meantime, official England is
worrying lest the shortage of mid
wives and maternity facilities
cause a drop in the birth rate.
And Britain needs badly those
expected and hoped-for future
citizens.

PUBLISHER HELD
FOR GRAND JURY
Pleasure Driving Ban
Story Against Maryland
Official Called LibelOus

Crisfield, Md, June 9-(P)-Rives
Matthews, owner and publisher OF
the Somerset News, was held in
$4,000 bond today for a grand jury
hearing in September on the states
charge of criminal libel after he
had accused Maryland state Off
cial of violating the pleasure driv-
ing ban.
The charge against Matthews was
filed by States Attorney Prentiss

gional OPA Office.
Matthews published in his small
weekly newspaper that Tawes drove
from Crisfield to Camp Wheeler
Ga, in a sJate-oWne automobile
between May % and % to attenc
the wedding of his son. The article
said that the trip was violation
of the pleasure driving ban.
TaWes told the ration board Mon.
day night that he visited the CAPT
tails of three states on official bus
mess while on the trip. Last nigh

TIME HEALTH COLUMN--
Apply Warm, Moist Dressings
To Heal Strained Ligaments

Wrenched away from the midline.
The initial pain Of such a
sprain is often severe and some
times causes nausea or fainting. 1t
becomes difficult or impossible to
bear the weight on the strained an
kle. Gradually a puffy swelling de-
velopS about the joint, and later
the skin becomes "black and blue, -
because of the tearing of the blood
vessels and the presence of free
blood under the skin.
There is usually much less dis
coloration with sprain than with
a fracture, but the pain covers a
wider area with a strain. The pain
of fracture is ordinarily localized
to the point of the break.
These signs are not too reliable,
however, and if any question
exists, an X-ray should always be
taken.
REST INJURED LIMB
When the injury is caused by
rolling the foot inward, the liga-
ments on the outside of the ankle
are torn. The treatment requires
that these ligaments be placed at
rest. The foot is therefore turned
outward, and held there with adhe-
sive or a strong, elastic puttee- type
of bandage. When the swelling and
pain or not too severe, walking per
haps with the assistance Of cane
is desirable
With more severe SprainS the
victim should stay off his foot for
twenty -four TO forty eight hours
while applying warm, moist dress
ings. When the acute pain has pass
cd, the ankle may be supported as
above and walking resumed with q
limp.
