Sgt. James J. Feriter
Late Member of Police Department Known to Thousands - Early Days in Waterbury Recalled by Friend, Admirer,
 "The Out Easter'

For a number of years, Sergt. Ferriter handled the funds and preserved order at the same time the the municipal farm market in Meadow street at the foot of Field street. His reporting hour was early 3 a. m., but he was never late. His understanding of people. and his handling of the men who did business there seemed to meet with general success, for in all of his years, there was never any occurrence to mar the good feel- ing and friendship of the out of town produce dealer and custom CTS at these sessions during the summer season. Daily he reported with the collections in order that a full accounting of the receipts of the day might be checked with the proper receiving officer at city hall Honesty was in his heart at all times, and he wanted or de- sired a check-up without delay.
 Tn the old days when the Pat rick Sarsfield Asso. conducted its annual banque: in celebration of St Patrick's day, Jim Ferriter could always be found among those present. He was an active and wide awake member of the asso., and gave time and energy to it's causes and desires. Witty, and jockular at times, when the oc- casion demanded, yet it was what Jim Ferriter felt for the people of Ireland he left behand and was most serious in explanation of their plight and suffering from his own observation as a boy, and what he had learned through Irish history.
 Jim Ferriter is dead Many will no doubt miss his around city
 hall, and also at the public market. for awhile at least.
 Death, We were born to die, we know, but why?
 People come and see us just be- fore burial perhaps they would speak to us, if we could answer. But they know we are dead, and therefore cannot talk.
 But when VIC were alive, we know some who passed us without even nod.
 Jim Ferriter saluted thousands daily.
 He knew what recognition was, and how we all like 1t.
 If we knew how, we would pray for proper recognition when Jim arrives in the new world.
 Ills life was good and he vas loyal to his great church.

The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1945-09-14

LOS ANGELES, Sept. IA -
up - Possible relief for tuber-
culosis sufferers was forecast in
an announcement by Or. An
thony j. Sale, assistant profess
sor of Bacteriology at the Uni
versity of California at Los An
geles, that he has discovered
that a bacillus extract known
as Subtilin will kill tuberculosis
bacilli.
DIR. Sale, who announced the
work with Subtilin after a re-
porter called to confirm reports
of his efforts along this line,
stated:
eve have done only test tube
work so far but Subtilin has
proven deadly to tuberculosis
germs in the test tube"
The scientist said there are
indications that the extract will
be relatively nontoxic" for an
finals and humans. He said work
with infected animals will start
soon and if results are favora-
BILE experimental use with hu-
mans will be the next step.
LIKE PENICILLIN
"Subtilin is much like Peni-
cillin," said the bacteriologist,
but it goes further in this par
ticular field. Penicillin is not
deadly to the tuberculosis ba-
cillus. But Subtilin is. 1t is also
fatal to other bacilli, including
streptococcus, staphy locoeeus,
pneumococcus and gonococcus."
Sale, who has been working
on the Subtilin project for seven
months with a co-worker, Re-
search Assistant Gregory jam,
said the substance is derived
from a bacterium called bacillus
subtilis, commonly known as
hay bacillus which is found
in the ground, in the air and on
hay.
DR.. Sale said Subtilin, like
Penicillin, is an inhibitory agent
which prevents the germs from
reproducing.
