Paralysis Epidemic
Prevents Orphans Outing

Disappointment such as only comes
to those who do not have much pleas
ure in their lives is in store for the
poor children of the several Institutions
of the city because of the fact that the
annual orphans outing promised them
by the Motor Club of Harrisburg will
have to be postponed n possibly
abandoned ldr this year.
1t was planned to tax between three
and four hundred children to Hershey
on Wednesday next as the guests of
the club, up to the present time more
than sixty automobile owners have vol
unteered to give the day and the use
of their cars for the outing.
The matron in charge of the chill
dren at Sylvan Heights Orphanage de-
cided that it would not be wise to risk
the health of those in her care, then
comes word that a possible. case of in
fantile paralysis existed within a block
of one of the other institutions and that
it would not be safe to have those
children come in contact with others.
The city and State health authorities.
while not positively saying tina the
outing might be prohibited, advised
against It at this time.
Ofhcers of the Motor Club state that
If conditions are better within a month
or two that the outing shall be held.
