and was in charge of the party at the
Philadelphia Show Eighteen Of the
! local lads made the trip, they being
the boys who are taking the poultry
course. The boys were more than sur
priced when they were informed that
they were the guests of honor at the
show, all their expenses being forth
coming from the Show Committee.
Other honors bestowed on the local
lads were several interesting lectures
delivered for their benefit. The boys
found it hard to express their appre-
citation for the kindness extended to
them by all.

The people of Newark have just
been relieved of the tension caused
by the outbreak of typhoid fever
when even more dreaded disease
seems to have broken out among local
children. The latest ailment being
scarlet fever Of which there are about
IS cases in the town at the present
time. The exact number of cases cam
not be obtained as several persons are
now under observation and may de-
velop the fever at any time.
As a result of this outbreak, the
local Primary and Grammar Schools
have been closed for period OF two
weeks. The schools were closed on
Monday and will open again on
January 30th. Superintendent Owens
announced today that all the rooms
in the Primary and Grammar Schools
will be thoroughly fumigated before
the pupils again take up their studies.
The work of fumigating the schools
has been going on all this week.
There were ten cases reported IN the
two schools now closed. Seven OF
these were in the Primary School, all
being in the Third Grade. In the
Grammar School there were three
cases, the victims being from the
fifth, seventh and eighth grades. Mr.
Owens said that as far as could b.
= learned, none of the cases in th'
schools were of a serious nature. A
vet no cases have developed IN tn
High School, therefore the pupils re
main at their studies, although pre-
II cautions have been taken to Gambia
y any form of the fever that Nigh
break out in the school.
The Board of Education hopes tina
u the people of Newark and vicinit
will cooperate in fighting the no
. prevelant disease. The Board M
:, last Sunday and at that time decide
- that the safest plan was to close IL
:" local schools.
/ One members of the Board state
today that he was of the opinion tn
Nv the scarlet fever was brought
'.s Newark from Wilmington by Wis
-, ~. tor here during the holidays.
I'll stated that this was merely a pr
sumption but that Wilmington h

a0 fever. He further stated that

the case is one of typhoid or not, but

Since the recent outbreak OF ty-

of the local and State Boards OF

pasteurization plant. DR.. Watson, on
reading the account Of Monday

"After reading the article on New

That pasteurizing plants do not |
depreciate very rapidly was the
opinion of Mayor Frazer from his in
vestigations.
Another reason that the town
should not operate plant, said Coun-
Gilman Wilson, was the fact that it
would be single unit and in case of
breakdown there would be no way
to continue work.
Robert Morrison, a member of
Council, next took the floor and asked
how it was that milk had been blamed
for the typhoid fever in the town. He
said that only one in each family
seemed troubled with the fever while
all the other members used the same
product and are not suffering. The
speaker then recited case where a
: baby was being fed pasteurized milk
| and developed typhoid fever and af-
, ter this raw milk was used and the
infant got along fine. Mr.. Morrison
r wanted to know if this was fact in
one case why not III all cases. The
S assembly applauded the speaker as he
took his seat.
Mayor Frazer then said: "Mayb'
}. the doctors could answer your ques

RELATING TO
SUFFERING STOCK

| Because of the very numerous COM
plants pertaining to the suffering of
stock on the range coming to the Of
flee of the State Humane Society
since the recent unusual storms the
superintendent of the, society think
ing it best requested an opinion from
the office of the Attorney General as
to the proper procedure when immed-
late action seemed necessary from the
standpoint of humaneness and that
opinion is hereby given in substance:
Involuntary Neglect g.
Recognizing the peculiar situation
in the state at this time due to the
drought and financial stress many
farmers find themselves unable to OBJ,
tain necessary food for their stock
other than from the range and the
heavy blanket of snow has made it
very difficult to obtain sufficient
from this course and consequently
much stock sis down..
Procedure
The legal procedure is to notify the
owner whenever possible either direct
or by publication and when such is
not possible and stock "is down" and
apparently worthless the Justice of
the Peace should be notified and with
two others should appraise the stock.
If said Justice is not available and
the case demands immediate action
then the humane act would be to Sc
cure any person or persons and II
agreed said stock is worthless des-
troy the same in which event it would
be wise to make record of such ac-
ton. In plainly spoken words be
actuated by hunaneness and put SUI
fering animals out Of misery sure to
eventuate in death.
Wilful Neglect
However, where it appears stock is
wilfully neglected or otherwise cruel
ly treated (abused) upon complaint
to the office of the Society investi-
cations will be made and if the find
ings warrant the same will be turned
over to the states attorney with whom
is lodged the powers to prosecute.

Because of the desire to get this
information over the state quickly it
is requested that papers generally
