700 EXPOSED.
Law Violated in Visit to This City Of
Barre Child.

Barre Child.
Seven hundred people in this city and
the soldiers at the Post were exposed to
poliomyelitis last week.
The exposure took place when the young
child from Barre, whose case was men,
toned in yesterdays Free Press. attended
the band concert last week in this city
and stopped off at the Post on his way to
Barre.
Whether the city or the Post will expert
ence any bad results from this case will
not be determined for nearly 10 days. 1t
takes about two weeks for this disease to
develop, said an official yesterday.
In the meantime. Health officer F. J..
Ennis has placed every precaution around
the persons and homes of those who are
known to have come in contact with the
unfortunate youngster. The quarantine
which the health officer has placed over
Adjutant and Mrs. T. Fowler. C. S. War
rem Of New Haven, Conn, and Mrs. Lewis
Wells will last for at least two weeks
A health official said Ensign Crawford
of Barre was subject to prosecution in this
city as we'll as in Barre. as he has violated
the laws of both cities. The law pertain
ing to this particular case was approved
by the State board and adopted by the
local boards of health, and the gist Of II Is
that people bringing children to this city
from sections where infantile paralysis
is prevalent shall upon arrival here at once
notify the health officer and the child shall
be quarantned for two weeks.
In this case the ensign from Barre
who brought the child here failed to COM
ply with the law and notify the health Of
flcer and. therefore, the exposure to the
citizens of this city and the soldiers at the
Post is the result.

ties as to the perpetrator OF the num-
erous breaks on Saturday and Sum-
day. additional reports of breaks on
Sunday came to headquarters yester-
