A | REMEMBER THE DAY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th Berlin News CARTER HAS WORK CAT OUT FOR N Will Have Hard Road fo Travel Before Election “ALLING HAS EYE ON JOB Deming May Be Boomed for Legis~ lature—Real Estate Transactions —Visiting From China—Another Big Field Day—Items, First Selectman George B. Carter is begininng to sharpen up his farm- ing tools, as he is going to have a hard row to hoe in the coming town clections with two candidates al- ready in the field against him, Wil- liam W. Fagan, former postmaster of Kensington on the democratic side of the fence, and Willard L. Al- ling of Kensington on the other side. It is understood that a petition will soon be cirCulated asking another prominent resident to enter the lists on the republican ticket. That there will be a battle at the republican caucus is a foregone con- clusion. Mr, Alling was for years first selectman. William H. Schroeder, second selectman, will also have something to worry about, as Wil- liam H. Webster, a prominent re- publican in Berlin, 'has been an- nounced as a running mate for Mr. Alling, for second selectman. Mr. Carter has apparently taken the stand of “peace at any price” and has declined to be drawn into any arguments on the question. He has also resumed being a hermit and is a hard man to find these days. Mr. Carter has done good work for thetown while he has been first se- lectman, but there is the possibility that Kensington people may like a change and may like to see one of the republicans fronr their own sec- tion In office. There is where the votes lie, it would appear, although it 1s thought that there would be enough votes for Mr, Carter to make the outcome of such a battle uncer- tain in the caucus. Then there is the possibility that it Mr. Alling does not defeat Mr. Carter at the caucus Mr. Fagan will do 3o at the polls. The first select- man’s worries will not be over until the votes are counted. COhinese Student Here Miss Eleanor Tdo of Peking, China, is spending a short vacation in Kensington, visiting Mr, and Mra. Sidney M. Cowles. Miss Tao has been in this country about two years and is a student at Mount Holyoke college, where she is taking English courses in preparation for work at Columbia university. At Columbia she expects to take work which will fit her for teaching in her home land. . Miss Tao, although a resident of the United States for a short time, | speaks English fluently and is plan- ning to address the first meeting of the Christlan Endeavor society of Kensington Congregational church next Thursday evening. She will not give a formal talk to the young people, but will confine her- selt te telling something of the cus- toms of the Chinese. She has been at the Harvard Simmer school this year and will | stay with Mr. and Mrs. Cowles for about a week before resuming her work at Mount Holyoke. May Boom Deming Although Francis Deming will not say whether he will be a candidate for representative from Berlin in the it is understood from a reliable.source that a number of his friends are planning to boom his name for the position on the re- publiean ticket. The town in general remains quiet on the subject of proposing a candi- | 'state legislature, date for the legislature. Never be- fore has there been such an absense of candidates for the position and it begins to look as if a man would be chosen at the coming caucus without any preliminaries. Prominent re- publicans will not commit them- selves as to who would be chosen if this idea is resorted to. St. Paul's Church, Maases will be celebrated at § and 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

I went for the first time time last month and I was 80 sup- rised when they told me that little children, under two years of age | should not be given green vegeta- bles. T suposed that was only good for older folks. Now since I have heard about this, I have been giv- ing it to the baby just as they told me how fo prepare it, to cook it thoroughly and to strain it so that the baby just gets the pulp, and the baby is really learning to like it. I am anxious to go to the Conference this month to see if the baby has not gained some, because already she looks better to me."” So the mothers are talking about the value of the Well Child Confer- ence. It is not only a place. where they go once a month to have the thildren looked over by the doctors, but they have learned that there are certain Health Ruies that should be put into operation every day in the week, When they once follow these rules they are eager to check up the results, for Health Habits establish- ed early are sure to bring.ruddy complexions and all the signs of & healthy child. .

Dog Lost; Dog Found, by Sharp Eyed Traffic Cop A knowledge of dogs is not a re- |quisite for becoming a member of the traffic squad of the police de- partment, but such knowledge by one of the traffic policemen this morning proved valuable to John Brown of 55 Connecticut avenue, who lost his English bull dog. Brown reported his loss to Sergt. Micheal J. Flynn at police headquarters and the report was read to the traffic politemen who were going on duty a few minutes after. Luckily for Brown, one of the traffic policemen knew an English bull when he saw one and also just what color brindle is. When the traffic squad reached the corner of Commercial and Main dtreets, John Stadler spotted the dog trotting along the street. He picked it up and walked into the station with the animal tucked‘undér his arm in less than a minute after receiving |the report from Sergt. Flynn. e REGISTRARS' NOTICE The Registrars of Voters hereby |give notice that they will be in ses- |sion in the Town Hall, Pierce St., Plainville, Conn,, on Tuesday, Sep- |tember 8, 1924, from 9 a. m. to b p. m.

C. H. Riemer of Durham, one of the leaders of the Connecticut Medical Liberty league, brought the 250 peo- ple assembled at the health board room to their feet with cheers. Wav- | Ing the flag, the clergyman continued an impassioned flow of eloquence on the rights of citizens and declared a | positive stand against compulsory vaccine treatment, | The flag incident occurred as a| | climax of a meeting at which floods | | of oratory broke loose and appeals | were made to Health Officer J. I. Wolsard to rescind the order for compulsory vaccination in the schools. l Adjournment of the board was| taken without action on the matter at 10:45 o'clock after a session of | two hours and 45 minutes of hectfe questioning and appealing. It was ona of the red letter occasions in the annals of the city. Woisard Cheered. The meeting was called to order by Mayor John F. Wade, who aw nounced that adjournment must be taken for several minutes, pending sard, who was awaiting the arrival of a state health physician. The ar- rival of Dr. Woisard and Dr. Millard F. Knowlton of the state burcau « | preventable diseases was the signal for prolonged cheering, which the two medicai authorities enjoyed im- mense There was no question that every- | body at the meeting was “het up” over something — the anti-vaccina- tion adherents firmly vowing their Ing some hidden sword from over- head to suddenly smite them. Mayor Wade appeared in the role of the peacemaker and he was ably assist- ed by Dr. Knowlton. The presence of the Hartford physician had a bene- ficial influence, if prior meetings of the board are considered. Dr. Knowlton Explains, Dr. Knowlton was called upon by Mayor Wade and he gave a thorough explanation of vaccination and smalipox. He touched upon the epi- demics in this atate during the last year and attributed the only means nation treatment, Thereupon he be- came a target for croes-examination. Law Questions Doctor. | Former Councilman Harry N. Law | and Dr. Knowlton held an interest- | ing discussion at the beginning of | the meeting, when the visiting phy- | sician, greatly to the satistaction of | [ the fathers and mothers assembled, | | courteously answered questions rel- | resigned her position and accepted |Town on or before said Town Meet- | ative to vaccination and smallpox. | “Is it true, dector, that sanitary | | conditions in China and Poland are | | not as rigid as over here?" uked‘ | Mr. Law, when Dr. Knowlton had | compared the two countries with | others of Europe, where vaccination had been encouraged. “There is no relation between san- itary conditions and smallpox,” de- clared the doctor, and immediately | a chorus of jeers and cheers burst forth, | Continuing, Mr. Law spoke of health work by the government in | the Panama Camal zone and other | places and then threw a bombshell | by asking why the use of the Pe- quabuck river as a sewer had not| been looked after as carefully as the much feared epidemio of smalipox. | This was a hard nut for the city| officials present to consider as the question has been an uneurmount- able barrier for years, due to the | fact that both the East Bristol and | Forestville sections are too low for | inclusion in the present sewage dis- posal system unless an expensive pumping station is erected or a fep- y day. | The PLAINVILLE TRUST Co.

Risden, father of two | children and an opponent of the compulsory vaccination, nearly | broke into tears as he appealed to Dr. Woisard that the order be re- scinded. “For God's sake, doctor, as a father, to a father, I beg of ou to rescind that order,” he said If it is necessaryrto vaccinate why is it necessary to vaccinate on school children?

He sald that he was not afraid of smallpox but did fear vaccination for his children, He, himself, had been vaccinated three times. The pathetic case of the chil- dren, of Willard Hunt of Forest- ville, formerly an ardent supporter of vaccination, was referred to by Mr. Risdon. The Hunt -children ill effects after vaccine |treathment and the inoculation was blimed. He said that Dr. Woisard knew about the Hunt case. | Dr. Wowad quickly disclaimed {any knowledge as he had not mads |an in The assertion of | Mr. Risdor that frozen vaccine i virus had caused deaths in Massa« chusctts, brought Dr. Knowlton to 1""‘ feet 1 explanation. He in- formed his audience that the mat- | ter was not vaccine virus but anti- |toxin 2nd that such a happening | conld not cccur in this state as dif- ferent quantities were used, which ware not affected by freezing. In reply to Mr. Law's question, Dr. Woisard said that he had made efforts to stop the use of the river as & sewer but had been informed by Coroporation founsel William N. Derosier that the matter was up to the property owners. The health officer could do nothing but com- plain to the city authorities, which \hc did but the river continued in its old familiar role. A verbal tilt | between Mr. Law and Mayor Wads, relative to the use of the river as a sewage plant with or without permission of the city brought [forth much laughter and ended the discussion. Willard Hunt was the next on the | evening's program. He informed | Dr. Knowlton that people Were not 50 greatly Interested in opposing vaccination as the compulsory or- der affecting the schools alone. He saild that the vaccination certifi- cates were being asked for in the schools. “We are skeptical, becayse we fear bad results from vaccination,” said Mr. Hunt, in explanation of the defiant attitude of the medical leaguers. He presented figures, ob- tained from a physical culture ex- pert of New York, which opposed the vaccine treatment. Mr. Hunt asked Dr. Knowlton the number of smalipox cases in the state at pres- ent so that the emergency nature of the situation for this city might (Continued on Page 10) CAPITOL NEW BRITAIN New Policy Effective Monday, Sept. 8 3 Continuous Shows Each Day 3 Vaudeville at 2:45, 5:45, 8:30 Photoplay at 4:00, 7:00, 9:30 A Cruel World SAY-WHATZA MATTER.
