Howland of Colchester befors the child was sent to the hospital for observation. For the carly report of the case by Dr. Howland the Norwich health authoritles felt Thursday that there was ground for a feeling of in- debtedness and the knowledge that there is donger of infection from children in Coichester will lead prob- ably to the exclusion of children from that locality from Norwich. To that end, Dr. E. J. Brophy said Thursday night, there Is called a. meet- ing in ihe seléctmen’s office at 10.80 this morning, at which the mayor, the selectmen and Health Officers Thomps son of the town and Brophy of the city will be present to discuss the sit- uation and take action. The time bas come when it is felt that the city of- ficlals have done their pert in the pre- veniive work against the child paral- ysis, and now the town will be acked to take a larger share in co-operation. And the direction of further measures in keeping away possible infection will Dbe toward the surrounding towns and particularly Colchester. ~While _the entrance qf children from New York and other places where paralysis is epidemic has been effectually barrod on cvery other side, Health Officer Brophy finds_‘hat children are daily arriving Colchester from the in- fected districts and that there is some tendency for the children to come down to this city on visits, mingle with home children in stores or on the trolley cars, and so spread infantile paral Dr. Brophy said that Col- chester is the omly town in this part of the state that has refused to bar out New York children under 16. Children reach that place by way of Hartford of Middietown, and there is| just as much danger of getting infan- e paralysis from Colchester as from New York city. And to offset this Morning—Case at Backus Hospital. Confirms Dr. How- ~ land’s Early Diagnosis—No More Children Reported. danger the meeting this morning is to make_provisions. In Norwich and in the towns around here there were no new developments and no new cases on Thursday. Dr. Brfiwefl' found some paralysis in the child at the hospital, but he said the attack was & light one. In Noank the 2 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis_Antonio of Main street was taken il Wednesday and late in the afternoon the disense was diag- nosed as infantile paralysis. Dr. W. M. Hill was the attending physician and immediately notified the health officer of the town, Dr. A. M. Purdy, of Mystic, who quarantined the house. It is not known where the child took the disease, as it has mot been out of town, nor 'has anyone from infected districts visited there. The quaran- tine is not observed in the least. Wed- nesday morning the man of the family took the oldest child, a girl about 4, to call on some Italians in another part of the town. The remaining child is a baby and is kept out on the porch of the home much of the time. The conditions are said not to be sanitary and the neighbors in that section are said to be perturbed Thursday the child was taken to Memorial hospital, New London, mak- ing seven cases there. Four children from New York were compelied to return Thursday morning from New London on account of the exclusion order. All were passengers on the Owl train arriving at 3.0 in the morning. Three of the children were with their parents and the fourth was a girl who claimed to be 16 years old but who, the heaith authoriiles were convinced, was not more than 14, ‘There was little change in the sit- uation in New London Thursday. All ¢the patlents at the contagion ward of Memorial hospital were reported to be about normal, none having shown any alarming symptoms since Wednesday Thursday Dr. A, M.
