LETTERS

Editor Globe:-The writer is
one among a number of residents
living in the neighborhood of the
Broadway and Wayside school
buildings, and voice the general
sentiment that there is too much
dust originating on the grounds
in the rear of the school buildings
which is whisked in every direc.
ton over this section. The dust
enters every crack and crevice
and since houses recently have
been more or less open on ac.
count of the mild weather, it has
been especially Objectionable.
And this is a sample of what may
be expected all through the COM
ing summer.
We do not say just what should
be done but surely think some
steps should be taken to allay
this dust nuisance, for nuisance
it surely is.

from low of 1913 in 1893 to a

The Health Service explained that
among the factors contributing to
the lower death rate may be men,
toned the absence of any major
epidemics with high mortality, the
expansion of public health activities.
the improvement of State and local
health departments, the initiation
of various plans to provide more

stitution Hall tomorrow and Thurs

ballets, four of them new to WASH

The music of Hindemith will fig
ure prominently in the Thursday

diately put to use for the modern
ballet. Written for the Carnival of
