A rumor has been in corculation about Groton for several days which has aroused considerable interest.

Mahan of New London is doing the preliminary work with the purpose of having the matter brought up at the next session of the legislature. Mr. Mahan Thursday morning stat- ed that as he was out of politics at the present time he was not engaged In any such work, but that the meas- ure was considered by him one which would result in the most good to both New London and the borough and something which ultimately would come about. When told of the rooted objection boroughites had to the step, he said they would soon see the general ne- cesity for it and that those who now opposed the union of the two com- munities would be the very oncs to CHARLES RAY, IN TRIANGLE-}(LAGIYYEE PLAY, “THE HONORABLE, .

The state board of health, in its De- cember bulletin, urges vaccination. ‘There are more than 109 cases of x in the state. The bulletin says: “It is true that the disease in Connecticut is of a mild type, but we know that it may, at any time, be- come llv‘;‘:;lm I.ndI destructive.” “Stil ng in our ears;,” says the bulletin, “are the cries of help raised by a muiltitude of voices during the recent invasion of infantile paralysis, as well as the appeals of anxious par- ents for investigatars to.redouble their efforts to solve the mysterles of this scover, if pos- sible, satisfa means of preven- tion and cure. “Had someone been ®o fortunate as to discover a serum of vaccine that would insure protection against this d se, we know it wou!d h: becn immediately adopted and unanimously accepted. “Now we are facing another plague smalipox—the mysteries of _which have been solved, and for which a sure means of protection has been pro- vided, but instead of universal ac- , more or less reluctance and ion to its use has been shown. is hard to explain this Inconsis- tency of the human mind, but it is demonstrated over and over again in everyday life. ‘“Many pcople hesitate to be vac- cinated or to have their children vac- cinated because of false impressions they have received by reading sensa- tional news, or because of a lack of knowledge of the history and actual benefits of vaccination. “Smallpox in the cighteenth century was responsible for 10 per cent. of ail deaths and for one pof children. In 175 had a vopulation of 15,084 and of this num- ber there were only 174 who had ncver had smallpox. “Vaccination was discovered by ner in 1796 and was soon adopte all civilized countries. Smallpox then en- by became a rare disease. The fear of jt gradually faded and with the passing from memory -of its horrible ravages the practice of vaccination has been greatly neglected. “The result is that smallpox is crop- ping out in many states, and in some unvacginated communities it is almost epidemic. It is true that the disease in Connecticut is of a mild type, but we know that it may, at any time, be- come virulent and destructive. It be- ing impossible to isolate and confine all existing cases, vaccination must be resorted to for protection. “Perhaps the most serious objection to vaccination is the fear of compli- cations following. There has been some justification for this fear be- cause of the methods of vaccination, before the days of asepsis and the use of cow vaccine. Early vaccinations ‘were made by inoculating from person to person, a practiée which undoubt- edly did transmit disease. Now vac- cine virus is secured from healthy calves under the supervision of United States inspectors and is prepared un- der the strictest aseptic precautions. “The method of vaccination has also Improved. Where formerly it was done carelessly and without aseptic precau- tions, it now receives the same care and attention as a . sur “Occasionally cein: assume a serious aspoc tion after vaccination. This infectic urs because of improper of ti wound or s teh. It must be remem- ination should receive the same care as any wound until en- tirely healed. Since modern methods have been adopted, eareful investigi- tion shows that only one death out of bered that a v a million vaccinitions - can be truly charged to vaccination, directly or in- directly. “With pure vaccine carefully used vaceination is w perfectly safe proce- dure and will not cause serious com- will plications and surely prevent smallpox.” . The bulletin speaks of the lack of funds handicappinz the state board of health in its efforts to develop a greater efficiency, and calls attention to a number of other topics, includ- ing the Connecticut Public Health As- sociation. NOANK FISHERMEN WILL ¢ PETITION LEGISLATURE For Bill to Make Non-Residents Pay For Fishing Within Three Mile Lim- it. Noank fishermen will ask for a bill to make non-résidents pay for the privilege of fishing within the three mile limit. When the next legislature meets at Hartford this bill will be Introduced. Connecticut pays the bill . for artificially supplying the waters of the sound with the crustaceans. Captain Rathbun, of the state lobster hatchery at Noank, liberates over fifty ~ millon young lobsters in the waters of Long Island sound every year. Then, in order to catch these lobsters which have been hatched by the local hatchery, they must pay the state of New York $20.for a permit, which is only good for one season. Fishermen from Greenport and Riverhead fish out of this port and pay nothing for the privilege. Rhode Island also pro- hibits non-residents. from fishing with- in the three mile limit, but fishermen from that state can drag the Connec- ticut waters without charge. A new bill will also be introduced to stop seine fishing for smelts in Palmer’s cove and Baker’s cove. In Great Britain.
