BIC RAPIDS To
DEBATE IN ALMA
PRINCIPLE OF THE CLOSED
SHOP Is SUBJECT FOR FRI
DAY CONTEST.

Friday evening at 500 o'clock the
Alma High School Debating team
will meet the Big Rapids High trio
in the High School auditorium, in
what evidently has the promise OF
being spirited forensic contest
The question TO be debated is: RE
solved, That the Principle of the
Closed Shop in American Industry
Should Receive the Support of Pub
lie Opinion
The Alma team, composed of Ella
lott Crooks, Dare Strong and John
Holmes, will take the affirmative
side of the question, this being the
custom in the Michigan lnterschol-
astic Oratorical Association. AS a
result the teams Of the association
are required to know both sides of
a question thoroughly if they expect
TO be winners in debate. The local
team has been working with vim
to cover both sides of the question in
good shape and is hoping to give the
visitors real debate Friday evening.
Alma won the first debate of the
year against Mt. Pleasant at Mt.
Pleasant, taking the negative of the
question.
The Big Rapids debating team is
regarded as being exceptionally
strong and it is counting on winning
the decision of the judges from the
local forensic artists.

Road Proposition
Not Brought Up

No action looking towards provid-
ing money for the county's share Of
the cost Of improving of trunk lines
of Gratiot county was taken at the
January meeting Of the Board of
Supervisors of Gratiot, which came to
a close Wednesday after the board
had been in session for three days.
Two possible ways of securing the
funds for the Improvement of the
trunk line roads in the county have
so far been brought forward, one of
these being three mill tax and the
other a bond issue. As the former
method seems TO be the favored meth
cd of the two with the supervisors if
either is taken, il is probable that ac-
ton of some kind may be taken by the
board in the fall when the tax assess
ments are spread.

DIPHTHERIA
REMEDY OUT
FOR PREVENTIVE
WORK NOW AVAILABLE
FROM THE STATE.

With enough diphtheria antitoxin
in the hands of 500 distributors
throughout the state to prevent death
in every case Of diphtheria and to pre-
vent the disease occurring among con-
tacts, state health authorities are
turning their attention to the distri-
button of Shck test material and
toXinantitoSin.
Schick test material and toxin
antitoxin may be obtained by physi-
clans, medical health officers and
boards of education from the state
department Of health. Since neither
Of these products is used in emer-
gency cases, it has been deemed ad-
visable TO distribute direct from the
Lansing store rooms.
Because small percentage of
children more than two years of age
acquire natural immunity to diph-
iberia the Schick test is employed as
simple and harmless means Of de-
termining those who are susceptible
TO the disease. TO insure children for
life against diphtheria all under two
years Of age are immunized with
toXin-antitoxin without being Schck
tested, and all more than two years of
age who react positively to the test
are also immunized
More than ~ communities in the
state, since tie opening Of school have
started campaigns of immunization
which viii eradicate diphtheria from
lheir localities. It is estimated that
between 10000 and $4,000 pupils out
side Of Detroit and Grand Rapids
have been Schick tested and immun-
lied with toXin-antitoxin, since Sept.
Though more cases Of diphtheria
were reported in 1920 than ever be
fore in the history of the state, the
year 1927 saw an increase of 2,5s1
reported cases. A total of l2,l14 cases
was recorded in 1921 compared to
.Q.533 during the preceding year.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Aug. 25-
Little Theon White aged years, is
said to have fallen from the third
floor of building in Chestnut street
to the ground, forty feet below, last
Sunday afternoon, and according to
physicians who attended him after
the fall, he was not injured in any
way except that he was shaken up
which he naturally would be after
falling forty feet.
According to the parents of the lad,
he was playing near window on the
third floor Of his home when he STUN
bled and fell against the blinds. They
gave way, and out the window he tum-
bled, landing ON his shoulder and head
on the ground forty feet below When
picked up by his relatives, he was un-
conscious, but regained consciousness
and appeared to be normal in few
hours.
