CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING FEARED
Use of Extra Heating Ap- paratus Prompts Officials
 to Give Warning

Warnings against carbon monox- idle from auxiliary heating appli- ances such as oil heaters and stoves were issued in the weekly Connec- ticut State Department of Health bulletin. Improper installation Of such appliances can present de- cided hazard, because carbon mon oxide can be formed by the incom- plete burning of any fuel contain ing carbon. Providing properly de- signed and constructed fiue leading to the outside air is the only sure means of removing burned, partial ly burned or mburned gas. The flua will guard against possible i'll effects from any heater.
 During the present cold season with shortages of furnace fuel, many persons have rcsorted to additional heating appliances. To prevent sick ness or accidental death from car bon monoide poisoning the Connec- ticut State Department of Health urges that the following precautions be taken
 1. Do not block flue openings with devices which might restrict the removal Of gases
 2. See that heating appliances are properly adjusted. Call upon the company supplying the fuel for as siStance and advice.
 3. Do not use heaters in small rooms where 1t Is difficult to obtain sufficient fresh air.
 4. Do not under any circum- stances sleep in q room in which heater is operating.
 5. Always remember that carbon monoxidc is an odorleSs gas, and that It's presence is usually not de- tcCted.
 In l944 there were % deaths at- tributed to carbon monoxidc poison- ing in Connecticut. Fifteen of these resulted from accidental inhalation of Illuminating gas in homes. Five additional carbon monoxide deaths were the result of unhued heating appliances. Three other victims were overcome by automobile engine ex- hauSe and the remaining six deaths resulted from inhalation of carbon monoXide under various Circum- stances.

 Int may not sound much like news, but to Marines here 1t was an event of great importance. 1t was something for which they had waited for long, dreary months.
 More than year ago 1t was de- clded that no roll call would be held on days when it'Was rain ing at revcille. Leathcrnecks con- graduated themselves, and en- joyed visions of staying i'll bed mornings until 6:30 or some such unheard of hour
 It rained, all right It ralned for hours and days and weeks But rain at 5:30 q. m? Never Rain could tecm from the heavens at 5:25, but by 5:30 the skies had cleared and the bugle summoned Marines from their cots. At 5.45 the rain would start again, to the accompaniment of bitter remarks from the victims.
 For the record 1t can be noted that today marked only the sec ond time in l3 months that 1t rained at 5 5.30 n. m
 The rain drops fell; the bugle did not sound. But most of the Marines had become so inured to getting up at 5;30 that they re- ported for roll call anyway, ac- cording to Sergeant Ray Fitzpat- rick, Marine Corps combat cor respondent. and former member of the Waterbury Democrat, Wa terbury. Conn.
