CRUSADER WOUement
In st. Louis School

During the past week the Gratiot
County Health Society has been con-
tinuing its fine work in connection
with the schools Of Gratiot County,
and has started the modern health
crusade movement in the st. Louis
schools, and there is little question,
but what as the movement gains
hcadway in the schools, it will be-
come a more and more important fac
tor in promoting the health Of the
young people.
The Crusade movement, which is
sponsored by the Michigan Tubercu-
losis Association, with which the Gra-
tiot County Good Health Society is
connected, has issued a little booklet
covering the eleven chores" that are
placed before the school children
which they are expected to hold to.
1t provides for a rating each day over
a period Of twenty-four weeks for
each Of the Chores" in addition car
ries chart for the weight of the
crusaders at the end of certain per-
iods Of the "a weeks, gives a table
for correct weights at certain ages,
and carries the crusaders creed.
The daily chores Of the crusaders
as outlined in the booklet are the fol-
lowing: l. washed my hands be-
fore each meal. | cleaned my finger
nails today. ?. / brushed my teeth
after breakfast and the evening meal.
3. / kept myself and my clothes clean
and neat. | kept my fingers, pencils
and everything likely to be unclean
out Of my mouth and nose. 4. | car
ry a handkerchief and protected 9TH
ers when l coughed or sneezed. 5. |

tea yankee tea eXcepted), coffee or
any harmful drink. 6. | had three

ing breakfast. | drank some milk.

minded. The notes specify that if
over thirteen years of age nine hours
may be substituted in "chore 81 for
the ten hours that is provided.
An explanation provides that the
Chivalric title can be earned if the
pupil has 81 or more KS every week
during which the school has the cru
sader movement. The first year the
title is a Squire, the second Knight,
and the third year a Knight Banneret.
The schools through the county
generally when the movement has
ben started are realizing the value
that the movement has as it pertains
both to health and to truthfulness
and it is meeting with the hearty
approval Of school authorities every
place in Gratiot where the movement
has been instituted.

Hansen Auto Line
Has Waiting Room

Mr.. II. c. Hansen, proprietor and
manager of the Hansen Auto Line,
which runs from Alma to Saginaw, is
announcing this week the establish
ment Of a waiting room for the bene-
fit of the public in Alma. This wait
ing room will be located at 127 f..
Superior ST., corner of Woodworth
and Superior, one block east of the
Wright House, and will be carefully
fitted up with seats for the comfort
and convenience Of patrons of the
route. 1t will be well ventilated and
heated. The waiting room will be
much appreciated by the public as it
will render Unnecessary the present
waiting on street corners for the
buses, which disagreeable enough at
any time, is especially so in winter
1t should add materially to the pat
ronage of the auto line. The Hansen
Auto Line connects in Alma with
buses for st. Johns and Mt. Pleasant,
and in Saginaw it connects with the
United Motor Lines in all directions.
Four trips day each way will be
made excepting for Sunday when two
trips will be made. On week days
the buses leave Alma at 1880 and
$3.50 in the morning and at 100 and
4:30 in the afternoon. On Sundays.
only the 9:3O and the 4:30 trip will
be made.
The establishment of this waiting
room will fill long felt want on the
part of the patrons of the route, and
marks The Hansen Auto Line as pro-
gressive and solicitous for the COM
fort and welfare of the public which
it serves.

PAVING on MAG
AUTHORIZED BY
SUPERVISORS
RESOLUTION PASSED BY VOTE
OF THIRTEEN TO ELEVEN
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
Work VIII Start
in Early Spring

By their action on Monday the
Board Of Supervisors of Gratiot Co.
made the paving of NJ 46 to the Sag
inaw line an assured fact. After
long debate in which the merits Of
the matter were fully discussed, the
resolution was passed by vote Of
l3 to II with the chairman not vot-
ing. This action is the outcome Of
a movement which was started some
time ago to have this road pavn d be-
cause it is one of the trunk lines that
carries exceedingly heavy traffic and
it has been fully demonstrated that
the ordinary gravel road cannot
stand the gaff, goes to pieces, and is
a constant source of annoyance and
expense.
Several months ago a committee
started gathering data to prove the
necessity for making this road of
such a permanent character that it
would stand up under the constant
steam Of heavy traffic that passes
over it. And careful investigation
convinced the committee that only
well built concrete road would do
this.
Committees were appointed by the
Alma Chamber Of Commerce and the
st. Louis Board Of Trade and these
committees worked in conjunction to
bring this matter about. A road
committee consisting of VIM. Yost,
and Ben Hubbard of st. Louis and
w. +. Reynolds, j. c. Chick, and II.
S. Babcock Of Alma visited the High
way Department in Lansing and pre-
sented the facts to Highway Com
missioner Rogers who co-operated
with the committee by making n re-
commendation to the County Road
Commission that this paving be done
as a part of the 1923 road program.
Then the matter was taken up with
the Board Of Supervisors with the
result mentioned above. The part to
be built next year will be five and
one half miles connecting the stretch
between the pavement at the east of
St Louis and the pavement extending
through the village of Breckenridge.
We believe that the board Of Sup
ervisors have acted wisely in this
matter for more reasons than one,
mainly, Of course, because this is the
Trunk line carrying exceedingly
heavy traffic In addition to this the
fifty million dollars appropriated by
the people of the state of Michigan
for a road building program will be
exhausted next year and if Gratiot
Co. got any Of that money it had to
act now. 1t means that $165,000 will
come into this community from the
state of Michigan to be spent for road
building and every one will get the
benefit of that expenditure, in ad-
dition to having a satisfactory road.
1t is understood that Saginaw county
will pave to the Gratiot line and this
will give a continuous stretch Of first
classs road from Alma to Saginaw by
1924 when the entire program will be
completed as recommended by the
State Highway Department.

BIG DECREASE
BEING NOTED
INFANTILE PARALYSIS CASES
IN STATE FEW IN NUMBER
THIS YEAR.

Infantile paralysis, technically
known as poliomyelitis, has given the
Michigan Department Of Health very
little concern during the past sum-
mer says a statement issued today
by DR.. X. NJ. Olin, state health COM
missioner. Health authorities this
year feared an epidemic Of the dis
ease basing their belief on a theory
that has proved itself on two distinct
occasions since 1910.
A big epidemic Of infantile paral-
ysis follows a small one. This is the
theory that caused many to believe
that the United States would see
"big poliomyelitis year" in 1922. In
1910 the state experienced a small
epidemic which was followed in 1911
with a sharp increase that resulted
in great many deaths. A similar
situation occurred in 1915 and 1916.
Last year there were 337 cass report
ed to the department-a small epi-
demic. This year instead Of the big
epidemic that many were fearful of
there was complete reversal. Only
% cases were reported, three daths
Health authorities can give no
reason for the small number of cases
and deaths this year and do not
know why the reactions of 1911 and
1916 were not repeated. With a
jump from 10 cases in 1920 to 377 in
1921 and then drop to % cases this
year in the records there is no at
