(AP.) Senator Lonergan, Democrat, Connecticut, today requested the Army Board of Engineers to reverse its decision which would require local interests to contribute 50 per cent of the casts of improving Five Mile Harbor, Connecticut. In his appeal to the engineers, the Senator declared that benefits to shipping and industry justified the improvement from a strictly Government standpoint. He said a petition by the Civil Association of the Sixth Taxing District, South Nor-walk. had been filed with the board, which pointed out that the removal of a shoal at the entrance to Five Mile River, as well as deepening and maintenance of the channel, falls clearly within the provisions of various laws enacted by Congress in the interests of navigation.

Efforts in Harlan County, Kentucky, Described by Worker There for Save Children Fund Imagine a coal mining camp In a valley between two mountains in Kentucky, with row on row of damp, dark cabins, set so close that neighbors can almost shake hands from door to door. Picture families with little or no work, and adults unable to provide for their children and the children In large part suflering from undernourishment, disease and neglect. This is the situation in Harlan County, Kentucky, one of the centers where the Save the Fund of America is battling to alleviate misery and hunger, as described by Miss Marian Purbrick, director ol child health work for the organization in that county.

Miss Purbrick, who is Visiting relatives in Hartford, outlined Thursday conditions among the coal miners and related the work of her organization, the only national agency of its kind which administers health and welfare work for children in isolated areas. Miners Did Not Save, Harlan is the county seat and is situated in a district where the chief industry has been mining. During the war, when the demand for coal increased rapidly, the population in the region nearly doubled. The miners were paid high wages, and there was work for ail. But the miners did not put aside any of their earnings and were, accordingly, unprepared for the depression.

Mines began to shut down, others worked only a few days a week. With no other employment possible, the miners and their families were left to struggle along as best they could on the mfager supplies available, Miss Purbrick said. Eighteen months ago the Save the Children Fund was started and followed out the work of distributing food and clothing first undertaken in the Kentucky district by the Quakers. Today the fund has several centers in Kentucky, and as many more in impovensnea sections of Tennessee. In each of these centers workers are striving to fill the need for health education, as well as providing material wants such as food, clothing, medicine, and even schoolbooks for children.

14 Health Centers Set I'p. Since its survey of Harlan County in the spring of 1932. the fund has established child health centers in 14 communities, where efforts have been made to safeguard the children of the miners and lead them to a natural, healthy development. At first hand the job confronting the organization appeared hopeless, for many of the children suffered from undernourishment; their lowered resistance had opened the way for tuberculosis; large number's of them had pellagra, defective teeth and eye and throat troubles. Under the cfeoyon of Miss Pur- -JwifjLrtferXi doctor.

are now held to instruct mother! 1h 'Jnu of their children. The youngsters are examined and their particular neecfe determined. Gallons of cod liver oil are distributed, a herd of goats is maintained to furnish milk for children suffering from pellagra, dried and canned milk Is given In hundreds of cases where the children previously had no milk at all. A great part of the fund's educational work is carried out in classes on home nursing, hygiene and infant care. While much of the work has hitherto centered on children of pre-school age, the organization is branching out to care for children who attend the country schools.

In addition to instructive labors, the organization, the only-health unit in the county, does case work in the homes and in emergencies provides nursing care. In addition to distributing food to hungry families, clothing and books to children who would otherwise have been unable to attend school, the Save the Children Fund has distributed quantities of health literature, had wells examined and chlorinated, brought about installation of more than 500 sanitary toilets. People Are Cooperative. With the staff much curtailed because of insufficient funds, the work in Harlan County rests in the hands 61 Miss Purbrick, a part-time helper and several volunteers, with the cooperation of local doctors. Local women who have been trained by the director assist at the health conferences.

The people among whom the organization works, according to Miss Purbrick. are cooperative and eager for assistance. Possessing a native refinement, mast of them are descendants of old Scotch, English and Irish families and are deeply religious. But illiteracy is high among them; they need instruction and demonstration to lead them toward ameliorated conditions, Miss Purbrick said. In the case of the Holiness believers, better known as the "Holy Rollers." their religious fervor is responsible for much of the neglect among the children, for they do not believe in doctors.

"That's where you find the forgotten child," Miss Purbrick said, relating the case of a father whose child had a club foot yet refused surgical assistance, saying that he "allowed the Lord mant.him to be that way and that way he'll stay." Need for the services supplied bv the fund will be even greater this winter. Miss Purdick predicted, for the ravages of the depression have shown no sign of let-up in Harlan County. Supported entirely bv voluntary contributions, the fund, whose headquarters are in New York City is striving to arouse sufficient Interest to assure broadening the scope of its ministrations to children in these neglected areas.
