WALTER MORAN GETS
LETTER FROM HOME

On Thursday Mrs. John A. Moran l received a letter4from her son, Walter E. Moran. who has been in a hospi- tai in France for some months past but from whom nd, word has been 1 received for many months Mr and Mrs. Moran were naturally worried at not receiving letters from their son and he could not be located any where l in France. Finally Harry Kroner a Norwich boy in the medical corps in France. found Mir. Moran in hos pital. He immediately notified MT Mo ran's parents. It seems that Walter was in a hospitSl ad the authorities had no record of his being there which accounts for the failure of various at tempts of the Red Cross to locate him. Walter writes that he has just re- ceived the first letter from home in nine months and it was a welcome let i ter. His letter to his mother follows: September -a1, 1918. Dearest Mother: Jut few lines to 1 let you know that I have just received | your letter that was sent through Harry Kroner, also E1flilv's, and mother you cannot imagine how I felt after nine long months and then l to get the letter from Emily and one 1 from VOL and. they all contained such 1 | hapniest man in France and was tiekled to death to bear that you and pa and all the kids were doing fine and enjoying the best of health and l also to hear that pas and my busi- l ness was doing well, put was sorry | to hear that Jim Moran had been 1 drafted.

SCHOOLS WILL REOPEN
 MINUS THE C0UGHERS


 After being closed. since Sept. a6th, the public schools in the town and city will be allowed to open on Mon day, Oct. 20th, under the provision that the teachers and those in charge ex- clude from the school rooms all pupils who are affected with a cough or who sneeze. The parochiaI schools and the Academy have agreed to comply with the regulations governing the town and city schools. The evening schools are also to reopen on Monday.
 Dr. E. J. Brophy, city health of f1cer, states that the epidemic of Spanish influenza has so far abated and that there is such a marked degree of improvement in the local situation that he has given the schools permis- sion to open with the stated pro visions. He also instructs parents of children that they should keep them at home if they have a cough, thus saving the child the embarrassment of being sent home The health officer has not lifted the ban on coughers and sneezers in the theatres and pub lie gatherings and those who are af- f1icted with a cough will not be allow ed in the theatres or churches or any public gathering. Lodge meetings are allowed provided those in charge agree to exclude any couShers and sneezers There are very few new cases of influenza being reported to the health officer and most of those reported are in families where the disease has been for the past few weeks. The public | must expect a few deaths from the malady during the next few days, but 1 this should cause no alarm as there are few serious cases of pneumonia 1 in the city which have been running 1 for the past six or seven days. The health officer urges people not tc neglect the stringent precautions pre- scribed at the outset of the epidemic | but to keep them up, as it is the only means fo keeping the disease from l spreading. Patients should be kep1 | by themselves and other members O. ! the family where the disease is should | not stay with patient for long. Fac. 1 tory employers are urged not to allow 1 an employe who has been ill with thu l disease to return to work until it ii l perfectly safe. It is better to- hav'

Health Officer Brophy is of the opin- ion that much of the disease was spread through employees working when they had the disease, thus ex- posing hundreds to it. The situation Is so much improved that physicians will probably go back to their regular office hours next week.
 The health officer has constantly been called and asked neither schools, theatres and churches would be open cd at such time, and he is rather amazed at the way people read their newspapers. He has issued orders through the press from time to time regarding the epidemic. and yet people call to ask questions which are right before them if they would only take time to read their papers.
