With the opening of schools Monday
every good citizen will redouble his
vigilance in keeping the quarantine
regulations and seeing that other peo-
pie do the same. While the schools
will not, in the opinion of those best
posted, introduce any new element of
danger, nevertheless there are those
who think differently and at all events
we cannot be too careful. Undoubted-
ly Gunnison is going to have more
cases of the Flu, doubtless fatal ones,
for we are not immune from the ills
that afflict humanity. We should be
thankful for the fact that the grim
reaper has dealt so lightly with US
as compared to neighboring commun-
tiles, and relax no particle of the close
watch over suspicious cases, until con-
ditions elsewhere indicate that the
epidemic has subsidized.
