Mr.. William Leonard, Jr, met with
the misfortune of breaking his right
leg this morning when he started to
jump from a pile of lumber upon
which he was standing, to the
ground. In some manner his foot
got caught, with the result that the
leg was broken about the ankle. He
is reported to be getting along very
nicely at this time.
Private VIM. Tregoe, who was
wounded in action several months
ago on the Western front, and who
was recently brought over to one of
the recuperating hospitals in this
country, is visiting his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. William R. Tregoe, at their
home at Madison, having secured a
furlough of one month. His many
friends are delighted to have him
back, as there were SO many con-
f1icting rumors in connection with
his injuries that many never expec-
ted to see him again.
Dr. E. E. Wolff, local Health Ply
stefan for Cambridge, reports that
from noon Saturday until noon today,
fifteen new cases of influenza have
been reported to him. This, in all
probability, does not nearly repre-
sent the number of cases, as eleven
new cases were reported at the Ban
ner Office this morning, and these
eleven represented a comparatively
small portion of Cambridge. It is
absolutely necessary that the cases
be reported promptly to Dr. Wolff,
if the public is to be properly safe
guarded, and 10 view of the awful
loss of life during the recent cpl
demic, every right-minded citizen
certainly wants to help and cooper
ate in avoiding such a repetition.
There seems to be some misun-
derstanding as to the schools being
closed in Cambridge, some persons,
apparently, laboring under the i'm
preston that the State Board OF
Health has closed them. This is not
correct. The State Board of Health
HAS NOT not closed the Cambridge
schools; they were closed by order
Of the Board of Education. We
heartily endorse their action. When
the medical fraternity is divided up
on the question, We think the safest
plan for the layman is to close and
stay closed until the proper authori-
ties can reach some agreement. The
county schools were closed by the Or
der of DR.. Victor C. Carroll, County
Health Officer, who deemed it not
ONLY adyiSab BILE hut absolutely neceS-
sary, if the disease is to be checked.
