Chas. Best and Glenn Williams are
suffering from small pox. The disease
seems to have taken very mild form
this year and there have been but one
or two cases in which the patient has
been very sick. The situation of the
village with relation to the prevalence
of this disease has been very unforoun-
ate. In the first place. the health
officer of the village, DR.. Goodfellow,
was called away to war; later the dis
ease manifested itself in the home of
the township health officer, Glenn Will
liams. and he was quarantined, all of
which has made it difficult to properly
p'acard and quarantine the cases. In
spite of these facts, however, one can
not escape the conviction that the reg
ulations of the State Board of Health
should in some way have been more
rigidly enforced. The only safety in an
emergency of this kind is to enforce the
| law without fear or favor, a policy
which protects the people from sick
ness and expense and the community
from financial loss. We want to say,
in conclusion, that we believe all of the
cases are now properly quarantined and
that no one need have any fear in COM
ing to Clio to transact business as usual
and that, in fact, they are about as
safe here as elsewhere as there are
many cases distributed throughout the
county.
