INFANTILE PARALYSIS CAUSE
Idea Is Rather Discouraged BY
Superintendent N. H. Ballard
Next Meeting of Board of
Education on Wednesday,
September 13, When Petition
to Be Presented.
lNFANTILE PARALYSIS CAUSE

An effort is now being made to post
pone the opening Of the public schools
on September Is.
The Board of Education will hold
its next session on Wednesday, Sep.
tember l3. AT that time 1t is plan
ned to present a petition signed by
as many parents of the city as can be
induced to sign it, to that body.
In numbers of cities similar action
has been taken, the cause being infan-
tile paralysis. The disease Is SO baf-
fling and so terrible when 1t gets o
start in place efforts along every
line are being made to prevent it's fur
ther spread
For some time the idea has been
entertained by a number Of women
of Brunswick but net until the last
few days has it taken any definite
form. Yesterday The News was in
formed that shortly a petition would
be circulated looking to the postpone.
ment of the opening of the public
schools of the city.
Superintendent N. H. Ballard yes
terday rather discouraged the idea
when interviewed. He stated that
if such action was found to be e.
sirable or necessary DR.. 7. f. Aber-
crofhbie, public healh officer, could
and would order the postponement of
the opening of school or after it was
open order its close.
Dr. Abercrcmbie states that there
is nc need of alarm. Some time ago
when a case of infantile paralysis de-
veloped here in an adult DR.. Aber-
crombie stated that he did not believe
the case an Infectious one. While
quarantine of the house as regards the
entrance of children is still In effect
it is expected to be raised almost
any day.
1t is not known how many people
Of the city will sign the petition which
is expected to be in circulation in a
short time. 1t Is said the scheme Is
principally endorsed and supported by
the Parent-Teachers association.

GASOLINE is SURE TO
TO TAKE ANOTHER DROP

That gasoline will take another
drop during the next three or -four
days is a foregone conclusion, accord
ing to statements made by those who
are in position to know. The drop this
time may be more than one cent, ac'
c1rding to the reports.
Gasoline has been dropping for the
past week or two and is now being
sold for % cents per gallon. It is
likely that IL will be down to 20

ALL ARE PLACED
UNDER 500 BOND
Aliens Are Charged With Catch
ing Prawn In Georgia
Waters.
MAY MEAN A TEST CASE
All of the Men Were Prawning
for the Glynn Canning Com
pany-Arrests Made BY In
spector and Game Warden.

As the result of the recent agitation
over the fish and oyster laws OF the
state and an agreement by those in
authority to enforce all sections Of
tho law. sixteen aliens, all fishing for
shrimp out of this port and for the
Glynn Canning company, were yester-
day placed under arrest by Fish In
spectcr r. e. Owens and Game War
den r. r. Bunkley.
These two officers left Brunswick
In patrol boat yesterday morning at
8 o'clock and the first arrest was
made an hour or so later. The patrol
boat remained out until 3 or o'clock
IN the afternoon, returning with six
teen OF the fishermen, who manned
eight boats.
TIE section of the law under which
the arrests were made Is as follows;
Sec. 8. Be 1t further enacted by
the authority aforesaid. that If any
person not citizen of this state shall
take cl catch any oyster, fish, shrimp.
prawn, turtle or terrapin or other crtls-
tacean from the salt waters of this
state in any manner whatsoever, for
the purpose Of selling that he shall be
guilty of misdemeanor."
The section of the law was included
in the FISH and game laws approved
November 81 1915, but II has never
been enforced the game commissioner
having instructed all fish inspectors
some months ago not to enforce this
feature Of the law.
Recently, however, fight has been
made by resident fishermen for the en-,
forcement Of the section They claim
ed that II was a state law and should
be enforced Finally the state game
commissioner agreed to have it en-
forced and the state inspectors were
so notified.
From what could be ascertained af-
ter the arrival of the officers with the
fishermen yesterday, 1t Is believed
that the arrests have been made more
for the purpose OF testing the law
than anything else. The sixteen men
were given a preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice Couvoisier late in the
afternoon and were bound over under
a bond of 500 each. ]. b. Abrams,
president OF the Glynn Canning COM
many, stood the bond of all OF the
fishermen.
Mr.. Abrams was seen by a News
representative last night, and when
questioned, he said that he understood
that II was test case. He pointed
out, however that these men were EN-
ployed by him. that he was really the
fisherman and that they were merely
his employees.
Local fishermen. on the other hand,
claim that the arrests we're made be-
cause these aliens were violating a
law OF the state OF Georgia, and they
are going TO insist that section 9 be
rigidly enforced I'm the future.
From a legal standpoint quite an
intricate question is likely TO arise
when the cages are tried on their mer-
its, as Il will have 10 be decided wheth-
or or not the state OF Georgia can pre-
vent these men from fishing beyond
the three mile limit and then dispos-
ing OF their prawn, II they so desire,
In the city.
II In understood that q patrol boat
will be on duty again today and other
arrests may be made.
