! and Blair counties according to an
announcement made to-day by Act

! Royer and the dates for opening of
/ schools and churches in these coun-
! ties will be left to the judgment of
local boards of health. 1t was stat
| ed by the acting commissioner that
| this action was taken after study of
mortality charts.
Berks and Bebanon counties are
reported as showing rapid improve
ment and conditions are better in
| Allegheny. There are now 163
emergency hospitals in service in the
state, most of them in coal regions.
The Department of Health also
announces that additional emer-
gency hospitals have been opened
in the past few days and that there
are also twenty-siX inactive emer-
gency hospitals which are being dis
mantled and moved into other Sec
/ tions where the disease is spread
ing.
The statement says: In connec-
tion with the operation of these
various emergency hospitals the
State Department of Health is anXi-
GUS to give due credit to the Penn
sylvania Reserve Militia, the mem
bers of which have Volunteered in
| large numbers to act as -orderlies.
Adjutant General Frank d. Beary
sent out call for volunteers to the
various companies of the Reserve
Militia several days ago and hun
dreds of young men responded i'm
mediately. These volunteers are now
doing splendid work in caring for
the sick and dying in the many
emergency hospitals throughout the
state"
According to an announcement at
the State Department of Health to-
day liquor dealers of Lancaster ARE
apparently ready to obey the re-
strictive order which will not be
lifted until Tuesday at noon," but a
in that city to take evidence against
any violators or the order.
The statement also says:
DIR. Royer has advised the board
of health of Norristown that attempt
at revocation of the closing order is
unlawful and a wire was received
from Charles E. White, secretary of
the Norristown Board of Health, this
morning advising DR.. Roger that the
Norristown board would hold a
meeting tonight to take action on
the matter. In the meantime a
squad of health officers is busy in
Norristown to-day taking evidence
against every violator of the clos
ing order.
THE report was received this
morning at the office of the State
Department of Health that saloons
and liquor houses in Conshohocken
were operating in direct defiance of
the statewide closing order. Specially
deputized health officers will take
evidence there to-day also and legal
proceedings will be instituted un-
less all liquor houses are closed i'm
mediately."

the opening OF theaters, saloons and
Wholesale liquor stores. but the other
places which had been closed by city
officials could be permitted to open
whenever the situation indicated II
would be safe to do so. Everyone at
the meeting assured DR.. Raunick Il
was their intention OF cooperating
with the Health Bureau and that
they did not want to open UP any,
thing unless they were sure no harm
would result.
Physicians Report
DR.. Raunick, when asked for more
definite information on the epidemic
situation, gave reports from a num-
ber of prominent physicians of the
city, all of whom said the ban should
not be lifted now and ut the earliest
not before next week. A few were
in favor of continuing II beyond that
time.
After the meeting yesterday aft
ernoon members of the Dauphin
County Exhibitors League said they
were satisfied with the Health Bu-
reau action and would arrange to
open next Tuesday afternoon.
For the first time probably in the
history of Harrisburg there will be
no f1alloWe en- CeleDratiOn tonight
as the health and police officials have
issued request to all youngsters not
to gather in crowds, and also have
put a ban on even small social gath
erings. Last night the boys and girls
| had little opportunity TO appear on
the streets costumed and masked be-
cause of the inclement weather.
DR.. Raunick's statement follows:
After comforting with representa-
tive citizens and obtaining a general
consensus OF opinion from the medical
profession. this bureau in special ses-
sion to-day decided that the closing
restrictions now in force should not
be lifted at this time.
With continued improved condi-
tions in the city and further cooper
alton with the public. we believe 1t
will be unnecessary to continue the
local closing bans longer than the be-
ginning of next week, and If condi-
tions reasonably warrant a rescind-
ing of these orders at an earlier date,
the public will be advised through
the press columns"
