Ex-Selectman Webster Discusses i v 'Smallpox Situation. All eyes in Hartford County were turned toward Kensington this after- poan where a formal and elaborate demonstration and tribute was go the stars and stripes at the Faising under the auspices of the Sons of veterans association. With the closing of the factories at nogn the citizens hurried to their respective homes to prepare for the celebration either as enthusiastic on-lookers or partigipants. All other business ‘t’l:. e pxercises were over. George Green, prand marshal of the parade, was parly-on hand to see that all arrange- ments were carried out and at 2:30 p'clock the various organizations Arted to form in line in front of the E:rlln Savings bank. The section of the town around the triangle as well all houses along the line of march rere lavish in their display of the na- lonal colors and the citigens did emselves proud in their decorations. At 8 o'clock the parade, which was jhe largest the town has ever seen, ted from .in front of the Berlin an bank ‘and proceeded up Main deet to the American Paper. Goods factory where the paraders counter-. marched back along Main street to Brove Hill, to Allen street, to Library ptreet, to Farmington road, to Ken- ington avenue, to Main street and en to the triangle where the ex- ) prcises were held. All organizations from the squad of National Guards- en to the civilian organizations did eir part in a spirited and much ap- réved manner. 7" A squad of picked men:from the de- ' ‘DELIVERY FOR CHIVING - ALL DRY tail doing duty at the ratlroad | bridges led the line of march and following them was the local unit of Home Guard which made its first| public appearance. The public was| much ‘impressed by their own com- | pany of men who will protect them ! in case of emergency. Other organ-: izxtions that appeared in the line of | march were the New Britain City | Guards in command of Col. W. W. Bullen C. N. G. Reserves, Sons of Veterans association, under whose auspices the celebration was held, the | Holy Name and T. A.

To an outside party one would be led to think that writers of these articles were the only ones interested in this matter which I think every one in town feels indignant in the way our health officer has handled these cases and for that reason I for one wish to express my feeling in the matter. * Our health officer seems to go to all parts of the town, north, south and east, for the starting and spread of this disease. Why daon’'t he come right to the center of the town and give us some explanation of this case where there has been some well de- veloped cases of smallpox gone through the whole run of the com- plainant without a quarantine being placed there, and the children playing every day with other children, and more than that, a boy from this fam- the T. A. B. drum corps and drum corps were present from Meriden, Yalesville and New Britain. Returning to the triangle a hand- some American flag, elght by twelve feet, was raised to the top of the new fifty foot steel pole by a special de- tail of Co F., First Connecticut Infan- try in charge ; of Sergeant Milton Young. ' As the colors were thrown to the breeze a burst of applause that lasted for aeveral minutes was heard and all heads were bared in respect to “Old Glory”. The chief speaker of the afternoon was Thomas . J. Spellacy, United States district attorney, and his words were listened to with in- terest by the assembled throng. Mayor George A. Quigley of New Bri- tain was also present and spoke a [‘wag brought home few words of a patriotic nature. Miss Adele Murray gave a recitation and all joined in the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. This evening at St. Paul's parish hall a social and dance under the auspices of the T. A. B. society will be held and many of the visitors re- mained to attend the affair. Former First Sel an Willlam H. ‘| Webster took a hand.lp the smalipox discussion today when he jumped into the fray and criticized the work of Health Officer R. M. Griswold on the ground that proper jgolation of pa- tients was not enforced. Mr. Webster's letter folows: ‘There appeared in an article in the issue of the Herald ‘May 7th by C. M. Jarvis these words ‘‘someone has blundered’” but I was unable at that time to determine who that one was. I think in the minds of the oiti- zens of the town of Berlin there was no question who that one was and by the article issued in the‘Herald May 11th, signed R. M. Griswold, he seems to acknowledge, that it was not the first selectman who blundered.which is the opinion of the .people here in FARMING L ily has been delivering the Sunday morning paper every Sunday for the past four weeks to my knowledge for I have taken the paper and taken change for the same| Is there anj better way of scattering this dreaded | disease than by a house to house can- vas? Talk about being ‘‘scared stiff’” who would not be? If this had hap- pened forty vears ago two-thirds of the inhabitants of Berlin would have been paralyzed. Not a Word or two about this case in the center of the town, the article signed by Dr. R. M. Griswold, says there can be no trace of the comi- plaints coming from Kensington. [ understand that the tewcher who is 2 member of the family mentioned sick from the school where she was teaching and apparently has had the whole run of the complaint and if this is here the $100 offered by the health officer to charity might be forwarded at any time. He was the family physician at the time and called it a very ser- ious case of chickenpdx, and when the citizens of Berlin were not satis- fled with his diagnosis of this case, they had one of the,leading citizens of the town go to him for a more definite guarantee of the case. This gentleman put the question directly to the health officer—‘"Is this a case of smallpox?” His answer was '‘no and whoéver says it is a 4 liar and you can tell them so from me.” .Now the fact Iin the case is that there has been a family quarantined with this disease and the head of the family says if ours is a case of small- pox, the other is also, for what we have came from that family. Now as it appears to me, I can see no reason in a case like this whaere there is a question , whether it is ohicken pox or small pox, which as I understand there is some similarity, why a doctor caunot call in someone Plainville News STARS AND STRIPES T0 FLY AT CENTER Women and Children to Donate Flags to Home Guard and Town OBSERVE REGISTRATION DAY Suggest Demonstration When Old Glory Is Flung to thc Broezes— School Children Make Generous Re- sponse—Cowles Enlists—Briefs, Respanding generously to the ap- Peal of the committee representing the surgical dressings workers, the ‘Wwomen and children of the town have majge up a substantial fund for the purchase of a flag to be donated to the Plainville company of the Home Guard. The contributors have been so liberal in fact that the committee now believes it will be possible to take up the suggestion that a flag be se- cured for the soldiers’ monument plot in the center of the town and the; announced today, through the cha.h--' man, Mrs. S, S, Gwillim, that tke campaign will be continued for an- other week in the hope that the ad- ditional donations will bring the amount callected up to ,the amount required to permit of the buying of two banners. Mrs. Gwillim stated that the re- ceipts to date are over $80, more than one half of which represents pennies and nickels which they gave to a pa- triotic cause, sacrificing sweetmeats and other confections which they would have purchased under ordinary circumstances. The children made a splendid response to the appeal for their aid and the committee in charge of the campaign is well pleased with their showing. Responses to the invitation of the | committee to take part in the cam- paign have been made by the Bay View club, the Ideal Whist club, the Ladies’ Benevolent society of the Con- gregational church, the Woman's club, the W, C. T. U, the ladies of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, the Ladies’ Aid soclety of the Methodist church, the Ideal Whist club and the Pussy Willows club. Other socleties with which women are affiliated are also expected to show their interest in the movement. ‘There have been some individual contributions and more are expected during the next week. While the amount collected does not reach any very. large proportions, it must be regarded as substantial in view of the fact that it represents the donations of a large number of people, the committee having announced that it sought small contributions from large numbers rather than large con- tributions from a few. Mrs. Edwin H. Hills has —_— who is more familiar with these dis- eases to help decide, and not take the whole matter on his own shoulders and place the whole public in a state of uneasiness. Minding your own business, as is suggested in this article, is one thing, and looking out for the welfare of a town, is quite @nother, and the prayer that is suggested at the end of this very able letter which I presume must have originated in the brain of the health officer, might be used by him- self as well as the rest of the citizens of Berlin.

The activity displayed by the women will no doubt cause the men of the town to get busy and with the an- nouncement that it is the intentian to get a flag for the center as well as for the Home Guard, it is probable that stepe will be taken by male pa- triots to secure a pole from whiCh the banner will fly . The raising of the flag in the center could be made an occasion for Plain- ville’s patriotic demonstration and would make an admirable feature of the town’s observance of Registration Day, June 5. The nation is to cele- brate the registering of its yeuth for cansoription and there is no reason why Plainville should be content to sit still and loak on while its neigh- bors have demonstrations of a worthy character, Hard Work for Coast Patrol. Young men who enlist in the coast patrol in the belief that they will have an ideal summer's vacation cruising on the sound will find themselves greatly mistaken, judging from the letters received here fram James Usher, who is now in that branch of the service. The men are undergoing intensive training, according- to Mr, Usher, and from sunrise until bedtime, they are kept so busy that they find thelr cots a welcome retreat by 9 o'clock at night. They are up at 5:30 every morning and there is hardly a | moment in the day when they are not busy, scrubbing decks washing their clothes drilling or attending lectures. Mr. Usher is one of the oldest men in the company now training at the Yale boat house in New Haven which has been turned over to the govern- ment for use during the war. He has passed his forty-first birthday. He is serving as a boatswain’s mate. Mr. Usher has spent his vacations for a number of years in cruising along the Sound and he is familiar with boats, although inexperienced in naval maneuvers.
