FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, March 2S-Fairfeld has been most fortunate within the past several weeks in that she has been free from any alarming number of cases of malignant diseases. The chang cable weather of February and this month has done much to induce the spread of disease, especially mea- sles and scarlet fever. Neighboring towns for a time experienced E'scares' but the latter seemed to give Fairfield the go-by. There was a time a few weeks ago that pr. William H. Don a1dson, the local health officer thought he had a slight epidemic on his hands. That was when a few cases of scarlet fever were reported to him from the Lenox Heights district. Considering the number of children in this district vigi1ant watch was kept with the result that there was no spread of the disease. The health of- f1cer since those few cases was antici- pating a clean slate for the remainder of the month until Monday when the illness of daughter of State Police man Frank VireHi was reported. The little girl has scarlet fever.
