DR.. Mcdaniel opened the war with
a preamble and resolution setting
forth the fact that the mosquito is
an enemy of both comfort and health,
calling upon the Virginia Beach

to guard against the presence OF the
disease bearing insects next year and
requesting Secretary Watts to confer

Mr.. Fletcher, who was succeeded
as superintendent of Amherst schools
by c. l. Scott, chosen at the recent
meeting nf-the State board. wrote
Attorney General Williams under date
Of July I'd asking four pertinent ques-
