out to be a dud. He accused
the CCC of destroying wild

ELY D0NS GAY
DRESS TO join
EASTER PARADE
The Resurrection of Christ is
COMMUNICATED in All Ely
Churches Sunday.
CROWDS ATTEND SERVICES
Family Gatherings are Feature
of Holidays as Many Come
to Attend Reunions.

Jesus ChriSt'S resurrection was COM
memorated with solemn services in all
churches Sunday as Ely worshippers
filled the edifices to capacity in observ-
ance of Easter.
Special music and choir singing
featured the services in all churches
throughout the day. Early morning
services, afternoon children's programs,
and evening worship drew large attend
ances to all churches.
Perfect spring weather with a bright
warm sun furnished an ideal back
ground for the gayly colored spring
fashions of the Easter parade. From
early morning, when worshippers went
to sunrise church services, until late
evening, the parade of new Easter
fashions strolled the sidewalks and rode
the highways. 1t seemed that all Ely
was out to display new hats, dresses,
coats and suits.
The Easter parade of new clothes was
testimony to the business squirt enjoyed
by local merchants. Many business men
expressed an optimistic attitude for the
coming months as they surveyed the in
creased buying in the weeks prior to the
holiday.
The procession on highways added
another bright hue to the commercial
picture. The number of new automo-
biles was distinctly noticeable and
dealers declared that it was the evil
dence of the best spring season of car
sales in recent years.
Family gatherings were another
feature of the Easter holiday in Ely.
Relatives from distance came for re-
unions, scores of young men and women
were home from universities and COL
leges for the vacation period and it was
a day of happy gatherings in many
homes.
Coming late in the season with per-
feet weather, Easter Sunday was day
to be long remembered by Ely residents.

RAPID PROGRESS BEING
MADE ON NEW BAEHR
THEATER STRUCTURE.

Construction work on the new
Baehr building, which will house
the Ely theater, stores, offices and
apartments, adjacent to the post
office, was moving forward with
record speed this week.
Excavation work was rushed to
completion last week and the con-
structiOn of forms for the concrete
foundation was started Immediately.
The first concrete was poured Tues
day along the base of the front wall.
Dynamite blasting was necessary
to complete excavation i'm the north
east corner when the shovel struck
a solid ledge. Vibrations from the
blasting resounded through the bust
ness section but expert handling of
explosives by Richards and Lee, ex-
cavatiOn contractors, prevented the
slightest damage to adjoining prop
erty.
Ben Bredes0n, Bemidji contractor
in charge of the construction, esti-
mated that his crew would start the
brick work sometime late next week
He said the work is being rushed
with the aim of completing the
theatre proper by the middle of June.

Health Requirements
Of Camps To Be Enforced

According to a statement by the
State Department of Health, special
effort will be made in Maryland this
year to insist on permits from the
Health Department for the operation
of roadside camps. Such permits have
been required for a number of years
and regulations issued concerning
sanitary conditions. These include
safe water and milk supplies, sanitary
toilet facilities, clean and sanitary
grounds, screened kitchens, covered
metal garbage receptacles and prompt
notification of communicable disease.
Requirement concerning sanitary
privies will be emphasized this year.
Sanitary conditions, according to
DR.. r. H. Riley, Director Of the State
Department of Health, at many Of the
smaller boarding houses, restaurants,
hotels and other eating places" have
never been entirely satisfactory. The
travelling public has complained. Some
of these complaints have been quite
recent. These call for most careful
supervision.
Since most Of the Counties now
have Sanitary Inspectors, it should
not be hard to secure better control
Of the camps, restaurants and other
places where food is served"

Diphtheria Claims Victim
In Montgomery County

A seventeen months old child near
Rockville died this week from mem
branous Group, a form of diphtheria.
The child developed the illness sud-
denly and was rushed to Baltimore
hospital in an automobile. The acute
condition was relieved but a compli-
cation pneumonia followed the next
day.
The Health Department says this
fatal case illustrates the fact that
diphtheria sometimes occurs in small
children in very sudden form and that
antitoxin frequently cannot be ad-
ministered in time to save the child's
life. "The general use of toxoid to
children at six months of age will
however, give lasting protection
against the disease. Toxoid must,
however, be given before child is
exposed to diphtheria because protec-
ton from toxoid develops too slowly
to be used in an emergency"
