dation for Infantile Paralysis offer.
the following suggestions:
During an outbreak of infantile
paralysis be alert to any early signs
of illness or changes in normal
state of health. especially in child
rem. Do not assume that a stomach
upset, vomiting, constipation, diarr-
hea, severe headache or signs of a
cold and fever are of no importance.
Any one of these may be the first
symptom of infantile paralysis. All
children and adults sick with I'M
explained fever should be put to
bed and isolated pending medical
diagnosis.
Don't delay calling a physician.
Expert medical care given early
may prevent many of the Gripping
deformitieS Proper care from the
onset may mean the difference be-
tween a life of Gripping and good
recovery.
Today there is no known proven
ton of or protection against infan-
tile paralysis. All that can be done
is to provide the best possible care.
Your doctor, your health officer and
your local Chapter of The Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis can and
will do everything in their power
to see to it that your community is
ready to meet an epidemic.
Observe these simple precautions:
Keep flies away from food. Use
the purest milk and water. While
the exact means of spread of. disease
IS not known, contaminated water
and milk are always dangerous and |
flies have repeatedly been shown |
to carry the infantile paralysis |
virus.
Pay careful attention to personal
such as thorough wash
ing before eating. Hygienic habits
should always be observed.
If possible avoid tonsil and ade-
mold operations during epidemics.
Careful study has shown that such
operations, when done during an
epidemic, tend to increase the dan
ger of contracting infantile paraly-
sis in its most serious form.
Maintain community sanitation at
a high level at all times.
Do not swim in polluted water.
Avoid all unnecessary contact
with persons with any illness sus-
0icious of infantile paralysis.
Avoid overtiring and extreme
atigue from strenuous exercise.

tive in local politics. He served in the State Legislature in 1941; selectman of the town of Water ford for six years, and is at present chairman of the Waterford School Board.
 In regards to the current crit icisms of the school facilities of various Connecticut municipalities, MT. Woodworth declares that Tt is important that we keep the teachers pay at a high level in order to attract the highest quail ity of teachers on our staffs as the children of our nation are our richest heritage; their proper ed- ucation or lack of it determines the future of our nation and in- deed the world
 In Waterford he has served on the Zoning Board, as chairman of the Republican Town Committee, and as Republican State Central Committeeman for the 20th (Shoe String) District. For IS years he was chief of the Quaker Hill Fire Department, when the department with appropriate ceremonies re- tired him with a gold badge. MT. Woodwork whimsically refers to this retirement as being put out to pasture" as frefghting is job for younger men.
 In his present position as Chief Deputy Sheriff, MT. Woodwork succeeded Chief Deputy Tubbs back in 1885.
 Thomas Bishop Woodworth de- clares himself heartily in favor of the removal of bridge toll on the Groton-New London Bridge as it is a wall against friendly trade relationships between the two towns. He feels that any further indebtedness in regards to the bridge should be absorbed by the state government, as happened with the state controlled Had dam, Conn, Bridge and the Con- necticut River Bridge. He feels that now is the time that nOn- partisan movement supported by our greater New London cOmmu- mites should present bill before the next legislature to this effect.

Bishop Urges Labor to Dust
 Reds From American Unions

Philadelphia-A fervent appeal to all Christian labor union men to crusade upon Communists who have wormed their way in the American labor movement was made by Most Rev. Bartholomew J. Eustace, head of the Camden Ro- man Catholic Bishopric, at rally of 5000 men and boys at the first postwar session of Camden and Gloucester counties.
 There can be no peace in the world of labor or in the world at large until atheistic Communism is defeated" he said.
 If Christian union men will at- tend their union meetings, Com munism will be undone. A dozen Christian union men with good in- tentions can turn the labor unions into the right direction"
 He then warned his listeners they may not cooperate with Con- munism, even if they must starve.
 Communism is wrong in the same way that murder, stealing and lying is wrong" he said. Tt is evident that the Russian govern ment does not want peace, but de- sires chaos. We extend the open hand of friendship, but the clenched fist would not take it in friendly grasp.
 "A nation is only at peace when 1t Is cooperating with God. When nation expels God from its coun- cils that nation Is at war with it. self"
 Principal lay speaker was Com mon Pleas Judge Gerald F. Flood, of Philadelphia. Referring to the recent national convention of the CLOS United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, he lauded the efforts of linen loyal to the dem

 They met with defeat" Flood said, but they were not crushed, because they succeeded in waking their fellow members to the dan" gers of Communism"
 Meanwhile, Bishop John F. Noll9 of Fort Wayne, Ind, Episcopal chairman of the National Council of Catholic Women, urged 1000 delegates to the councils 23rd Di- ennial convention in Kansas City, Mo, to rally their 5,00O,OOO mem" bers for militant action in trades union and other fields to combat Communist activity.
 Bishop Noll estimated that from 40 to 50 per cent sof organized ia bor in this Nation is Catholic, and strongly urged them to attend meetings and participate in eaec- tions for proper leadership in la- bor and national affairs. In voting, he said, they should disregard par ty labels and vote for candidates who support their best views and interests.

Frequently, the first problem which new parents encounter is Baby's crying. There are always friends and relatives who warn against picking up the Baby when he cries - on the theory that pick ing him up will "spoil" him. These well-meaning individuals do not realize Baby's need for comfort and security :. . the importance of the "Mother-infant" relationship. Of course, every baby should cry a little each day - it develops the lungs and helps breathing. But psychiatrists warn against allow ing Baby to cry for more than five minutes - because this IS apt to cause tension and exhaustion. One of the foremost reasons why Baby cries is hunger. And if he IS allowed to cry too long, it will only make him hungrier or else too exhausted to take his food. Quite often this indication of hunger means that Baby is ready for more than just his milk or formula :. {. and the addition of a special Baby Food will satisfy him. One of the first foods given Baby is cereal. and there are three special strained, prepared Baby Cereals available = each containing added Iron and the "B" vitamins babies need for growth and development. Serve all three cereals to your Baby - you'll find he likes variety in his diet, too!
 Baby Q"iz
 . How long should it take Baby to eat his meal?
 Give your Baby plenty of time to enjoy his food. but not enough time to dawdle. Usually 20 to 30 minutes is sufficient.
