in over thirty years. MT. Almquist pointed out. Organisms that cause waterborne diseases in man come from the intestinal tract of human beings. In wartime or peacetime 1t is our problem to keep these or ganisms away from drinking water supplies in order to safeguard health.
 While Connecticut's water supplies have been the cause of TO epidem- icS of waterborne diseases such as typhoid for over thirty years, in war time special vigilance is needed to assure the continuance of this rec ord. A safe water supply is too vital to the health of not only civilians but all war workers not to protect 1t to the fullest extent lest chance contaminati tion cause illness result ing in lost time interfering with full production schedule in industry.
 MT. Almquist explained that every effort is being made by water works and public health officials to elimi- Eata chance contamination from reaching consumers. Critical lands adjacent to reservoirs have been purchased and fenced, warning signs posted and full time reservoir care- takers employed. Recently, special guards have been placed at sources of supply and vigilance intensified on watersheds. As an added safe- guard. III water supplies are now equipped with chlorinator installa- tions or filtration plants, or bott
 Periodic Inspections
 Close contact with all public water supplies of the state is maintained by sanitary engineers of the State Department of Health. Periodic in- Spections are made of houses on watersheds or catchment areas. Sev- eral times a year filtration and chlorine treatment plants are visited to check their efficiency. Regular inspections are made of check valves between piping systems car- rying safe water and auxiliary un- approved water supplies which may be used in factories for fire fighting or industrial purposes. Other inspec- tionS are made to prevent dangerous conditions whereby potable wa ter or sewage might enter domestic water lines through back siphonage.

OFFICE CLOSED
 BY TAXPAYERS
Association Votes to Sus= pend Work for Duration;
 Botch Leaves City

The Waterbury Taxpayers asso- citation has closed it's office on Grand street and will carry on only most essential activities for the duration of the war. Work on surveys of sev- eral phases of the city government has been halted and plans for other surveys have been set aside.
 Raymond P. Botch, managing di- rector, was several weeks ago given a leave of absence and is now with the ordnance department at Wash ington. The office secretary, Miss Irene Brophy, has resumed her former position at the Chamber of Commerce.
 Frank J. Green, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, said today that all records and books of the association, have been turned over to the Chamber for safe-keeping.
 The association was formed two years ago to make studies of possi- ble tax savings and to aid taxpay- CTS. It was engaged in several con- troversies with city employees on questions of wages and depart mental set-ups, and had advocated numerous economies.
 The board of directors will remain organized but the association has in effect abandoned all its activities untU the end of the war.

Fifth Annual Contest for Arnold Trophy Start
 This Evening

Speakers representing the Cath olic Youth organization chapters of St. Francis Xavier and Church of the Blessed Sacrament parishes will participate this evening in the opening of the fifth annual de- batting tournament sponsored joint ly by the c. Y. O. and the Knights of Columbia. Government control of public utilities for the duration of the war will be the subject for discussion. The public is invited to attend the debate in K. of c. hall on North Main street.
 Sixteen teams have been entered in the tournament for the James F. Arnold Memorial Trophy now in possession of St. Lucys Chapter. The latter won the city championship in a memorable clash with St. Joseph's speakers, champions of 1941.
 Although scores of c. Y. O. mem bers are with the colors, including Charles Rinaldi and Leo Conard of St. Lucy's, the title holder, it is expected that the various chapters will find it possible to maintain sufficient interest among their members to carry on for the dura- Jion.

U. s. Attorney Butler Inti= mates Wholesale Prose-
 cutiOns to Result

Dimout violators are subject to federal prosecution, and punishment by fine or imprisonment, Robert P. Butler, United States Attorney in Hartford, said this morning. He pointed out that countless violations have been reported, but improve ment has been needlessly slow. From now on, he indicated, action will be taken throughout the state.
 Apparently through misunder- standing in most cases, dimout reg ulations are not being observed" MT. Butler said in statement. Some householders do not seem to ap- preciate the seriousness of them. A few mercantile establishment, and some industrial and manufacturing plants. have failed to conform.
 "On the whole, when representa- tives of the State Defense Council have brought attention to this non- conformity, the property owner has shown willingness to conform.
 But in a few cases, either through stubborness or otherwise conformity has not been complete. '

States Water Supply
 Carefully Protected
Any Trespasslng or Unusual Activities Should Be Re-
 ported to Police; No TyphOidE Epidemic in Years

Knowledge by the public of tres passing or unusual activities in the vicinity of a public water supply should be reported promptly to po- lice, health or water works officials, Frederick o. A. Almquist, senior sanitary engineer, Bureau of Sani- tary Engineering, says in the Decem- Der issue of the monthly bulletin published by the State Department of Health. Possibility of contamina- tion of public water supplies is 3 constant threat to water works and health officials in their efforts to maintain safe drinking water. Their problem is lessened considerably when they have continuous cooper ation of the public in these areas. About 90 per cent of Connecticut's population is served by public water supplies.
 3O-Year Record
 We cannot afford to rest on our record of no typhoid epidemic at- tributable to a public water supply

vestment in the low denomination E bonds, an increase of O0,0O0 over December when Series E sales passed the unprecedented figure of $16,0O0,00O.
 One reason for the heavy increase, Administrator Hewes explains, is the inclusion in the quota of antic- ipated "limit' purchases of E bonds during the first month of the new year. It is based upon records of January, 1942, which showed ten- dency on the part of many investors to purchase their annual limit of $5,O00 during that month. Instead of purchasing bonds on weekly or monthly basis, many investors pre- fer to acquire the limit in single transaction.
 "a connection with limit" pur- chasing, Administrator Hewes also points out that it now is permissible for co-owners to buy up to $10,000 between them, instead of 5000 as previously.
 The quota for January is at tached.
