| There are s some very persistent
rumors circulating regarding scarlet
ltNtT III dOllld We al c ihd " bS
able to deny the rumors emphatically.
Here are the facts: Some time ago
family on Bone mesa was attacked by
scarlet fever. A doctor from neigh
boring town was called, but failed to
quarantine. AS soon as the children
were better they returned to school,
with the result that several cases
developed in the school. Owing to the
fact that it was possible that some in
the school might have been exposed the
school board and health officers thought
it best to fumigate those rooms. This
was done Wednesday. UP to date not
case has developed in Paonia.
