-—-"—Prevention of Dis-
ease His Aim
Norwalk is not up to standard as
far as the prevention of dis-
” case is concerned. according to Dr.
Stanley Osborn, State Commissioner
of Health. who spoke before the
meeting of the Norwaik Republican
Women’s Association. held in the
Royal James Inn, yesterday after-
noon. ' '
“A city of this size should have a
full time health officer with a proper
corps of assistants. a full time milk
inspector. an office for the depart-
ment of health in the City Hall, and
a budget for public health work more
than twice its present size." be said.
“When I speak of sanitation and
public health work." explained the
commissioner, “I am not talking
about the collection or garbage or
the disposal of sewerage. but rather
of the health‘of the community. es-
pepiaily as it- is concerned by the
prevention' of disease.
"No odor. however bad, ever
spread disease. But a neglected cold.
or an infectious disease. not proper-
ly quarantined. or a milk supply not
properly supervised. may cause a
wide spread of illness. _
"The mother or father who no-
glccts to make his or her child illi-
mune against smallpox. diphtheria
and typhoid. all three of which can
be taken care of with the proper in-
jcctions. when that parent has
knowidege that it can easily be done
and is most effective, deserves to be
roundly censored.
"On his head would lie the death
of that child. should it occur frOm
any of the three diseases. Public
education in this sort of thing is
sorely needed.
f‘At the present time this city is
spending just $4900 a year to pre-
vent disease, with a. health Officer
who only gives part of his time to
the work. (that being all for which
he is paid.) and witna yearly loss
t othe community in preventable
deaths of $360,000
“How do I arrive at that figure?
Supposing you take an average va.
ice of 85.000 fer each adult. $3.000

Is 98 Years Old—Will You Help Dispel Their Gloom
The inmates of the Nuramake
liomo are going to have a radio set
and it is going to be of the most
modern and up~to~date ones on the
market.
Tllo readers of The Evening Scu-
tincl have furnished this newspaper
with the inspiration to undertake
the campaign to raise. the money for
the radio set.
Cooperation- or course. it was
immediately forthcoming. Fred
Kane of the Studwell Piano Co..
North Main street, was told of the
project. He was enthusiastic at the
start and grows more enthusiastic
daily.
A radio will be supplied for the
Home at cost price and what is
more the Studwell Piano Co. will
"service" it for a. year free of
charge. That means batteries and
bulbs. The apparatus will be the
latest type mode by the Radio Cor-
poration of America. It will have
an inside aerial loop and the volume
of sound from its loud speakenwill
be sufficient to fill several rooms.
No longer will gloom be prevalent
at the Naramakc Home. The best
known orchestras. the highest prices
entertainments. speakers and Hing‘l‘s
of national repute will be brought to
the otherwise none too happy con-
fines of the Home over the air wave
route.
There are 45 men and women at
the Home. which 'ilnnuted on ptraw.
berry Hill. it is an ugly name. but
why dodge it? it exists. It is the

mates there is 98 and another is 93.
