Council Of Defense
Considers Feasibility
Of Community Nurse

Monday night the White Pine
County Council of Defense held a
meeting to discuss several matters
that had been called to Its attention
by the health board. One OF the
subjects discussed was the disregard
by several saloons of thte provisions
OF the qarantine that prohibits the
lettering of crowds in their places OF
business and the use of card tables
and chairs. This matter was report
ed to Sheriff Mclean who promptly
took action.
The most important business to
come before the council was the pos
sibility of providing a community
nurse to work in conjunction with
the probation officer for the protec-
tion of the school children when the
schools are opened after the quar-
antine is removed. This subject
is considered of the greatest i'm
portance as many pupils might be
exposed to the influenza through the
carelessness of parents sending chill
dren suffering with colds. The
community nurse would be instruct
ed to look after the general health of
the children paying close attention to
cases of bad teeth and near-sighted-
ness, which often tends to make a
bright child dull and retards eduea-
tion.
Although there is no law in the
state to provide for the payment of
such o nurse. It is believed by the
members of the board that such an
office could be established by the
Council Of Defense and later the
Question could be taken UP in the
legislature.

December sixteenth at the zero
hour absolute prohibition throughout
the state of Nevada will become law
by the will of the people. Under the
constitutional amendment on the sub
ject of the Initiative and Referendum
which provides that "If majority of
the qualified electors voting thereon
shall approve OF such measure it
shall become a law and take effect
from the date of the official declara-
tion of the vote"
This law defines the third Monday
of December succeeding such election
as the day on which the chief justice
of the supreme court and associate
justices or majority thereof, shall
meet at the office of the secretary of
state and make canvass of the
votes for United States Senator and
member of congress, district and
state officers and for and against any
question submitted. Under this law,
which does not appear to have been
amended, the governor is directed to
grant certificates of election and COM
missions and issue proclamation.
1t would appear from the wording
of the law that it will be unnecessary
for the governor to issue proclama-
ton declaring Professor Prohibi-
ton duly elected. Different opin-
ions are held by the attorneys as to
the necessity OF the proclama-
tion to make the law effective. sew
eral holding that the spirit of the law.
or the spirit law becomes effective
when the cClvass is completed by the
supreme court.
Advice given by the attorney gen.
eral of the State of Nevada Is that the
selling of liquor must cease at 1901
a. m. December IT, 1918.
Some of the hopeful ones have an
idea back in the head that this law
will not be as dry as Antelope valley,
but the framer of the amendment
must have at some time lived In dry
state and become perfectly acquainted
with the tricks of the trade. 1t is
generally believed that person may
take little wine in his own home;
SO he may. but If he Is caught giving
any Of the aforesaid wine to any
member of his family he is liable to
No. you can't leave 1t
on the table and let the wife or q
friend find it. for that would be
criminal negligence on your part.
Another strong feature of the law
is the right of state appeal, which ap-
pears to mean in everyday language
that If a person is acquainted in his
home county and the state does not
approve of the verdict the Accused
may be taken to another county and
brought before a new and strange
Jury, or In other words change Of
venue may be had until the state ts
satisfied. This knocks the day-lights
out of the traditional rights granted
a citizen by the federal constitution.
