MEDICAL SOCIETY MEETS

The Morgan County Medical So
ciety met Tuesday evening at the
Kennebec hotel, where dinner was
served. The guest speaker was DR..
NJ NJ Fowler Of the Athens state
hospital, who spoke on nervous and
mental diseases. Those present were
Doctors E. G.. Rex, C. E. Northrup,
D. G.. Ralston, C. v. Davis and A. A.
Tombaugh.~g~~~aus in Coulsen, medi-
cal student, was an invited guest.
An alignment with some other
counties of Ohio was discussed. The
Morgan county society voted that a
resolution be sent to the secretary
of the state medical association,
amending section 1866 of the gen.
eral code of Ohio, requiring the vac
cination for smallpox and immuni-
zation against diphtheria, of all
children attending, or eligible to at
tend, school. Various health au-
thorities have been strong in the
field of preventive medicine to wipe
out these diseases, it is said, since
same can be done very satisfactorily
with these measures. Regarding
immunization for scarlet fever, this
was not considered absolutely re-
liable, and no resolution was
thought advisable.

Wednesday afternoon, and had gone
to Bellaire In search of job, and it
is thought he was returning home,
when the accident occurred. The
body was brought here to Miller's
undertaking parlors, and was re-
moved Sunday afternoon to the Nc
Aztec home in Malta.
The deceased, who was a WPA
worker, was son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank McAtee, of Malta. The FAM
lily at one time resided near Cutler,
and later at GAINESVILLE, coming here
several years ago. Besides his par
ents, he leaves the following broth
ers and sisters: Clayton, Helen,
Chester and Melva McAtee of the

Stockport, and Mrs. Ruby Mccoy of
this place.

about 80 members of that organiza-
tion attended the funeral in body.
A firing squad gave the soldiers sa-
lutte at the grave. Pail bearers were

Road-building in Manchester,

receiving great impetus. A long
hoped for realization for many fam

Mrs. Harold Hill arrived from their
home at Columbus, last Saturday,

week as guests of their parents, Mr..

William H. Hurd, two daughters

here Friday with the formers uncle
and aunt, Scott w. Brill, and Mrs.
Viola Grandstaff. .--Turning over the
yellowed leaves of the "Thomsonian
Recorder published at Columbus,
April 27, 1888, we find the follow
ing extracts: "The scarlet fever of
the United States commenced in
1925, in New England; was eight
years in travelling through the
United States, carrying with it the
most terrible acknowledgements
off thousands, mostly children.
Again similar disease prevailed in
New England in 1856 to 1860, and
was equally mortal. Again in 1884
5-6, within the knowledge of the
writer of the article (Aaron Porter)
a similar scarlet fever, called throat
distemper, epidemic and malignant
prevailed to a great degree through
out New England" In 211 years,
after it's first appearance in u. S.,
it is still here The schools at Rein
ersville and Early ridge in Center
township were closed the 10th, as a
result of the re-appearance Of scar
let fever or scarlatina, in the COM
munity. The action of the local
board of education in suspending
the school at Reinersville seems to
have almost universal approval. At
this writing there have been no new
developments in the village beyond
the three cases which brought about
the closing of the school, but there
are as many or more in the adjacent
territory of Center and Manchester
townships. School will probably not
be in operation for another week
