when acute inflammation Is present.
 On the other hand If "chronic appendicitis" purportS to explain any kind of constant disturbance of digestion or any vague or puzzling discomfort or pain in the ,bellys discomfort or pain that recurs per- sistently, then, If there has been no definite attack of acute appendicitis, operation for chronic appendicitis" would be exploratory, in my judg- ment. Tn other words shall we go in and see what we can find and what we can do about 1t?
 I'm not at all facetious about this. If were the patient might well say 70 K, go on in and have look see." Not that I regard the receiving end of an exploratory operation lightly, but on the other hand know how much the pa- tient has to be thankful for-l've been there. It was no exploration in my case, but swell - swell was right-case of acute gangrenous appendicitis, even tho we caught 1t in less than 24 hours after the first and only acute indigestion" I ever had in my life.
 There are lots of symptoms of the constant, persistent or nagging kind, centered in or referred to the interior department, which, l think would make a proposal to go in and see attractive to me.
 But make on mistake about It. I mean don't misunderstood me I still say the diagnosis of chronic appendicitis" is not borne out by pathology.
 Belly Breathing
 I have owed a debt of gratitude for many moons for the benefit l have had from the belly breathing exercise. I had been an insomniac of years standing when I read your article and sent for the belly breathing instructions. Soon after I started the exercises I noticed was dropping of to sleep much sooner-in fact sometimes was asleep before had finished the Seance. (Mrs. H. T)
 Cardi0vaScular Degeneration
 A term you used has stuck in my mind for some -cardiovascular degeneration. Would that be ten- dollar word for hardening of the arteries? If so, I'll be glad to re- ceive any literature you care to submit. (E. H)
 Answer-Cardio (heart) vascular (blood veSseD degeneration (struc- tural change in cells, tissues, organs, wear and tear, loss of elasticity or resillience), includes not only arter- ioSclerosis (hardening of arteries) but myocarditis, slow heart failure, coronary thrombosis, angina pee toris, chronic interstitial nephritis (Bright's disease) and cerebral nemorrhage (apoplexy. stroke of paralysis). If this hasn't scared you away, send ten cents and stamped | self addressed envelope for book ict CVD.

of determining whether or not the construction was violation of the zoning laws and not necessity TOT purposes of alleviating the housing shortage.
 Home Owner Protests
 William Bakutis, client of Atty. Feeley, pointed out he purchased home in the area from Rasmussen with the understanding it was residential area. When asked by Atty. Up-7n If he had not sought permission to erect store in the same area, Bakutis replied in the affirmative but added that he was unsuccessful because Rasmussen told him it was strictly residen- tial area.
 Other residents who spoke were Fritz Brustat, 27 Anna Avenue, and George Gibbons, 38 Anna Avenue, both of whom said they felt the factory was a violation of the zon- ing ordinances.
 Atty. Upson presented Harry Wagner, Hamden cinder-block con- tractor who declared he felt the factory would be quiet in operation, making no more noise than a "heavy motor truck" Wagner ad- mitted he had only made me chanical inspection of the plant and had not heard it in operation.
 John McHugh real estate operaotr spoke in behalf of Rasmussen, and said he felt the plan to make cin- der blocks, was "commendable and noteworthy"

4 Arguments Heard On Cinder-Block Factory Floyd H. Rasmussen Restrained From
 Building Structure Explains Purpose;
 Zoning Board Defers Decision

Members of the Board of Zoning Appeals last night deferred final decision on the appeal of Floyd H. Rasmussen, local builder, that he be permitted to operate a cinder- block factory on Bradley Avenue. The board conducted public hear ing in the aldermanic chambers,
 T am only trying to alleviate the housing shortage resulting from the lack of lumber" Rasmussen told the board in stressing his appeal.
 The local builder had been ordered by John T. Hartley, city building inspector to discontinue the construction of the factory be- cause it was in violation of the city ordinance that forbids industrial constructions in residential area.
 Rasmussen was represented by Atty. J. Warren Upson, while resi- dents of the area retained Atty. Francis B. Feeley to protest the construction.
 75 In Favor
 Although 76 persons present de- clared approval of proposed factory the majority were not residents of the immediate area where opera tions will be conducted. The build CT is the original developer of the residential area.
 Thomas G. Smith, chairman of the zoning appeals board, said that a final decision would be given at later date, not yet specified. Other members of the board are: c. E. G. Schirmer, John Sterling, John T. Hutchinson and Ralph Tremaglio.
 Rasmussen in relating the history of the company, said he acquired title to the property on Dec. 23, 1882, and acknowledged the fact that he knew it to be in a B resi- dential zone. The building was | used, he asserted as a tube draw ing factory at that time until 1883 after which it reverted to his own personal use.
 In 1885, MT. Rasmussen said, he began manufacturing of a patented item sold to the railways and in 1889 commenced manufacturing of prefabricated housing parts such as gables, partitions and sidewalks. " He then began use of the premises as carpentry shop so as to be able to commence the development ot the land owned by him in the Brad ley Street, Anna Avenue area.
 Time Lapse
 At this point Atty. Feeley pointed out that the builder, after acquiring ownership, permitted the premises to lie idle for over a year thus cre- ating a lapse in the conform ing use of the site for industrial purposes. Atty. Feeley declared this to be sufficient to rescind any original non-conforming use clause an opinion substantiated by the Connecticut Supreme Court.
 Atty. Upson said that the non- conforming clause for this area Sec. T of the zoning Ordinance was not in effect as law until l94a approximately II years after Ras- mussen acquired the property.
 Atty Feeley argued that the board should not lose sight of the fact the hearing was for purposes

 Almost 700 a night" the guard said. T wish they would come along the regular highway. We wouldn't stop them. It would save us trouble roaming around every night looking for them to guide them in.'
 The Czechs are orderly people. The guard didn't understand about the highway beyond the border.
