M. Griswold to At- tend Convention—Annual Meeting This Evening. “There is nothing to be alarmed about. The authorities are taking ‘every precaution and are doing ‘every- thing that can be done,” said Dr. Roger M. Griswold, Berlin health officer today, regarding the several cases of diphtheria in the Worthing- ton district. The health officer stated that cul- tures have been taken of about one- half of the pupils at the Worthington school and when the pupils return to school Monday cultures of the re- mainder will be taken. 'The authori- ties have the cases well in hand, ac- cording to Dr, Griswold. The Worthington school was closed today and this led several of the mothers to, believe that there was an epidemic of diphtheria. This is not the case, as Miss Mary Griswold, su- perintendent of schools, stated this morning. Miss Griswold explained that ses- sions were omitted at the Worthing- ton school in ‘order to give the teachers there an opportunity to observe work in other schools in ncighboring cities. Miss Griswold said this morning: “The several cases of diphtheria ex- isting in mild form in the district are well under control. Dr. Lamphear of the state bhoard of health com- menced vesterday the work of taking cultures from the throats of all children. This will relieve the patural anxiety of those parents who belieye in scientifically preventing the spread of disease.” Church Mecting Held About 50 members of St. Gabriel's Episcopal church of East Berlin were present at a parish meeting held last night at Athletic hall, preceded by a parish supper. Rev. Samuel Sutcliffe, rector of 8t. Mark’s church, New Britain, presided at the meeting of the parishioners regarding the expen- diture of about $3,600 for church im- provements. A committee of five was appointed to meet and talk over the advisability of installing a new steam heating plant in the church. The building is now heated by hot air, which does not provide ample Feat during the winter months. Rev. Mr. Sutcliffe stated that the work cduld be done for $1,000 or possibly less. * The matter of repairing broken windows in the church was also’ dis- cussed. Several windows, including two mgemorials in the chancel, are in need of repair. 1t is expected that the cost.will be about $140. The need of organizing a proper Sunday school department was also brought up for discussion. Rev. Mr. Suteliffe made an urgent plea for three members of the parish who would be willing to devote their time to teaching Sunday school. He ex- pressed the hope that after the serv- jees next Sunday three parishioners would come to him and say that they would teach a Sunday school class and co-operate with either him or the lay-reader in charge of the services, at the -oneinps.
