BAN ON CHURCHES TO
Be LIFTED SUNDAY
Schools Probably Resume Monday, Is
Present Cheerful Outlook--City
and State to Act Today.

While a definite decision had not
been reached at a late hour yesterday
afternoon, the prospect of reopening
the churches of Richmond next Sun
day and local schools the following
day WAS exceedingly bright.
Chief Health Officer Roy X. F1an-
nagan said he wanted to wait day
or two longer to see how the number
of new cases being reported from day
to day compare with those of week
and two weeks ago. He as much as
admitted, however. that if the situa-
ton continued to improve as readily
as 1t has been doing from day to day
during the last week, he would
probably lift the ban that has kept
the houses OF worship and the insti-
tutions of learning in state Of en-
forced idleness for almost four weeks.
DR.. Flanagan declared that lie,
wished to give everyone concerned
tn the opening of churches. schools
and theaters ample notice So that
whatever preparations for resump
ton OF activities is necessary might be
taken.
The state health authorities appear
to coincide with the local health
officer in his analysis of the situation
and it is believed that an order will
come from both the local department
and the state board simultaneously
the reopening of places
of gathering. DR.. Flanagan intimat-
ed that, in vie W of a contemplated
trip to Charlottesville today, he might
issue such an order early today.

DON'T NAIL CHRISTMAS
PARCEL WITHOUT LABEL

In answer to number of inquiries
as to where the necessary label re-
quired for all Christmas packages to
the American expeditionary forces in
France can be obtained. Postmaster
Hay T. Thornton stated yesterday
that ii can be had only from the
potential recipient who receives It
from a special committee appointed
for the purpose. Each soldier Is al
lowed only one label and can. there
fore, receive but one package.
This ruling has nothing to do with
that which requires permit from an
officer of the rank OF major. or
higher. before man in the army
can obtain a parcel from home. These
orders are creating some confusion. II
is said.
Upon receiving the Christmas
package label, the soldiers relatives
or friends in America should take It
to the Red Cross, where carton will
be issued. When the gifts have been
packed in the carton, 1t Is to be taken
