Good Just At Present
According to the weekly morbidity
report. compiled by the bureau of
preventable diseases of the State
Health Department. not a single case
of a communicable disease was re-
ported from Norwalk during the
week ending June 19. This is an un-
usual record and an excellent one.

eases in Connecticut has increased
considerably in the last week.
The rltport shows that the number
of diphtheria cases in the state has
doubled in seven days, and the num-
ber of whooping cough cases in‘
creased by ten. There were 849
cases of measles and 78 cases of
scarlet fever reported and 257 of
