FLU BAN PENDING
2athdrum People Must Help
Fight Epidemic.


The Rathdrum trustees, at their
meeting Tuesday night considers
ed and took under advisement TIE
request OF the school board that an
influenza ban be declared. ~
However, the board voted TO i'm
mediately warn, by means of
dodgers, all persons in town to
take such precautions as common
sense and good citizenship dictate
to prevent the spread of influenza.
In this dodger it is insisted that
while the epidemic is so prevalent
in neighboring communities, un-
necessary visits out of town must
be discouraged, that no dances be
given, and that persons sick with
colds or influenza must remain al
their homes and report their i'll
1ess without delay to the village
board or the doctor. Parents are
urged to keep their children under
restraint in cooperation with the
school teachers. Dances are pro-
hibited. Failure to observe these
precautions will cause strict ban
to be put on with police employed
and severe quarantine penalties in
voked.
The chairman suggested that the
school board consider plan 10
have the teachers report to the
clerk the names of absent pupils so
that the cause of absence might be
Investigated and homes quaran-
tined if necessary.
