The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-04-06

Hundreds of grateful letters In
the committee files testify to the
urgency of the committees work to
the medical allotment
of certain Navy vessels, declared DR..
Hoguet. A typical letter from a
pharmacists mate on board a de-
stroyer escort to the committee
reads:
Dear Pals: Well, you were
real pal. If it had not been for
your wonderful kit of medical
supplies and instruments, we
never would have been able to hold
sick call and treat the crew on
the commissioning day of the ship.
. We miss you and good old
N. Y. Hope to be back some day
soon. Thanks again a million
times for helping us to help
someone else"
Specially designed by committee
for small doctor-less
craft, the kits are equipped to give
professional on the-spot treatment
to the i'll or injured until they
can be safely transferred to a base
hospital, DR.. Hoguet, explained. To
enable pharmacists mates and nom
medical officers to make effective
use of its contents, detailed instruc-
tons are included in each set. In
addition to the bandages, instru-
ment roll and essential drugs, the
kit contains shipwreck unit - a
simple fishing rig, dried bait, metal
mirrors and a sturdy
floating knife. Since the kits are
easily carried and packed for i'm
mediate use, they can be rushed
directly to the casualties in emer-
gencies or during combat.
The committees Navy program is
but one phas eof its medical re-
lief work. To date, more than
$500, 900 Of medical, dental and sur
gical supplies have been donated to
the fighting forces of the Allies, to
war-zone hospitals, needy welfare
groups, medical missionaries, and
community nurseries throughout the
free world.

FIREMAN'SREQUEST
STARTS DISCUSSION
Private Keane Asks Vaca=
ton Before Joining
Armed Forces

Private Dennis Keane of the fire
department was granted a leave of
absence for the duration at yester-
days meeting of the fire board, but
provoked controversy when he
requested that he be allowed to take
his vacation before his induction
on April 10.
Commissioner Edward Lasky said
that in view of the fact that the
man is joining the armed forces, he
should be given few days vaca-
ton, but Commissioner Archibald
Phillips, Commissioner Peter Car
roll, and Chairman Finton ]. Phelan
opposed the request, declaring it
would be a bad precedent, that the
department was shorthanded
already, and that the board hadn't
the right to give away the city's
money to pay a man during his va
cation.
The matter was finally referred to
the committee on rules and eff
cheney.
The board received letter from
the Southbury training school
thanking Chief Thomas F. Cava-
naugh and Captain Philip Kelley for
the training they gave John j. Cur
tin of that institution in handling
its fire apparatus.

1T Is evident" the report says
shat Baptists, true to the faith OF

freedom through persecution and
1nartyrdom, will consider 1t to be
both wise and expedient to continue
their undivided support of our own
Foreign Mission society which does
not require signature on the dotted
line Of q code of belief. 1t rightly
refuses to bind its missionaries by
formulated confessions of faith
other than the simple statement OF
the New Testament itself, in which
they find a firm basis of faith and
practice for themselves in accord
with that which Is generally held
by our Baptist fellowship"
