White Sox to one safety and beat

Renbach, however, issued six

Passeau today. Also, he hit one

so his game, though undeniably
brilliant, scarcely equalled the gem
seen at Briggs Stadium today.
Passeau, who, ironically, is a

State Favors
 Check-Ups of Young Pupils
Physical, Dental Tests Before Admis- sion to School

Complete physical and dental ex- aminations for every child entering school in September were urged by Florence A. Browne, M. D., Bureau of Child Hygiene, in the weekly Connecticut State Department of Health broadcast over Station WT1C. These examinations should be made early enough to allow time for the correction of any defects which might be found.
 Dental defects are most common ly revealed in pre-school examina- tions, for many parents do not realize that baby teeth need regular care. Another common condition, loss of school time due to colds and sore threats, may be noticeably de- creased by the discovery and correc- tion of enlarged tonsils, continued Dr. Browne.
 Each child's hearing and vision should be tested during the pre- school examination. Those needing glasses may thus obtain them be- fore starting school, and the correc- tions or improvements made before starting to read. Recognized hear ing defects can be taken into ac- count by teachers when arranging for school seating plans. This vii prevent hard of hearing children being mistaken for backward pupils The pre-school examination should also include testing of the heart and lungs in addition to checking on the child's posture and nutri- tional state.
 Immunizations against smallpox dpihtheria, tetanus and whoopine cough should not be overlooked when getting the child ready fol school. Although these protective measures are particularly stressed at the time of entering school, they can and should be done any time after the child is three months old As innoculations do not last forever in all children, it is wise to make certain that they are still protected against these diseases before enter. ing school, where exposure to these diseases may be greater.
