ment-campaign was carried on pre-
paratory TO the opening of the clin-
les. The protection for the children
was simply offered, and parents ac-
cepted it enthusiastically. In many
instances, the permission slips were
merely mailed to the schools, with
the request that each child be given
one to take home for his parents to
sign if the latter wished to give
permission for the child to be vac
cinated.
"In view of the fact that with the
exception of one case last February,
we have had no smallpox in the

easily have been lulled into a false
sense of security, we consider the
over five thousand permissions
granted an excellent indication Of
the confidence parents have appar-
emily gained in vaccinations, and of
their interest in their children's
welfare. In diphtheria work we have
made it a practice to spend nearly a
month in preparation, displaying
motion pictures in the schools, Civ
ing talks before civic and student
bodies, and distributing pamphlets
But we wanted to find out if parents
really wanted this protection for
their children, so we merely offered
it without any preliminary prepara-
ton.
It is expected that by the end of
this week, between five and six thou
sand of the $4,000 children of school
age in Sussex and New Castle coun-
ties will have been vaccinated.

Senator Sherman Minton gave it
his okay, but Senator Frederick Van

fears Gov. Paul v. McNutt's domi-

HUNTINGTON, Ind. Jan. r.
The battle of the lights Of Hunt
ington was in its 18th day this
afternoon, with both the phantom
Mayor. Clare w. H. Bangs, and the
supporters of his municipal light
plant. and his opponents, the repre-
sentatives of the Northern Indiana
Power Co.. confident that victory
was in their grasp.
The audience of more than 400
persons which gathered in the
Huntington County Circuit Court
TODAY to hear the closing argu-
ment of Fred H. Bowers, power
company counsel, in favor Of the
company's restraining order against
the municipal plant. and the rebuff
tai of City Attorney Claude Cline
before Special Judge David Smith,
TT. Wayne, wanted fireworks.
They had been openly disap-
pointed when the drama Of yester-

day mornings session petered out
into an afternoon unrelieyed from
the dullnes of legal technicalities.
The morning session had been
marked by applause for Mr.. Cline's
attack on the power company, de-
risive laughter for a self-contra-
dieting remark by Mr.. Bowers and,
finally, by the dramatic appearance
of Mayor Bangs, whose game of
hide-and- with Sheriff o. E.
johnson had been played merrily
since his Inauguration New Years
Day.
The mayors entrance brought
forth no demonstration except for
moment of whispering and neck
craning. Since Judge Smith, follow
ing the earlier outbreak Of laughter,
had warned the audience that an
other such demonstration would
cause him to clear the court.
The most confused person in the
crowded court room was Sheriff
Johnson who. with his quarry at
