Soaring and swooping,

Draft Board Clerk
Dies While Helping

one of the Saddest incidents of
the influenza epidemic in Scranton is
the death of Miss Bessie NJ. Connor,
clerk to one of the draft boards in
that city, who gave up her life for
sufferers from the disease. She was
one of the first clerks and a most
competent employe. When the epi-
demic began she volunteered as a
nurse and became ill, dying within
a few days. Members of the board
have greatly regretted her death.

ting sale of alcoholic beverages to be

would prevent such serious disturb

might be worked out permitting sale
of beverages to take place during
certain hours morning. midday and
evening with early evening closure
