However that may be, the point to-
ward which The Meddler is wandering
IS the difference in the public's present
attitude toward restrictions considered
necessary to the public S health and
the attitude of ten years ago Then
there was a strong protest against the
action taken by local officials on the
ground that it would be severe blow
to business. And it was, of course
But now, with the same commercial
results likely, one hears scarcely COM

to be a general feeling on the part of
Brattleboro people that the ban on pub
lie gatherings, put in effect before the
grip had become widespread hereabout,
was step eminently wise and fore

The Meddler
~ The eoat fits YOU, PIT il on.

Ten years ago next month an out
break of smallpox in mild form
brought Brattleboro under the same
kind of ban on public gatherings as
the present grip epidemic has made nee
essary. From early in November, 19aS,
until after Christmas schools and
churches were closed and there were no
dances of any kind nor entertainments.
Although something over 100 cases of
smallpox We're reported to local health
authorities during the quarantine very
few people were seriously i'll with it.
In fact there are doubtless consider
able number of persons, including some
physicians, who's never have been con
WINGED that it was smallpox.
