Copyright. 1920. by The Mcclure Newspaper

is 1T CURTIS?
The ways of spelling this name
are legion. There is Curteis, and
Curtice, Curties, Curtis and Curtiss
as well as Curtois. But whatever
the form, these names all are de-
rived from a source from which we
derive our word courteous, meaning
q person of polished manner. It
came from the Latin word court.
Thus Curtis is a descriptive sur
name, the first to bear IL being
pointed out for courteous and court
ly manners
In early English records we find
William lie Curteis and Richard le
Curteis, showing that the name was
early used in this descriptive form.
One of the first Of the name here
was William Curtis. who came to
this country in the Lion" in 1892,
settling in Roxbury, Mass. His fam
lily was a large one but they settled
for the most part in and about
Stratford, Connecticut

In the fifth health campaign conducted
by the Y. N. =. A. the juniors loaned

uting money. They took part in the
health parades, carrying large models
Of flies. mosquitoes. rats and other
enemies to health. The older boys
conducted open-air classes In the mar

In personal hygiene was given to chill

who were looking on. They distrib.
uted handbills and gaze street-cOrner
lectures on health. Being born actors,
they advanced the cause greatly by
giving health plays. Part of the con-
