POSTER CONTEST
FOR PROMOTING
AIR MAIL WEEK

Somewhere in the United States are
two school children who will attain
nationwide fame as artists for their
assistance in promoting National Air
Mail Week, which will begin May 15.
The National Air Mail Week Com
mittee arranged a poster contest for
the boys and girls in the high schools
and grammar schools and institutions
having similar courses of study, ac-
cording to an announcement here to-
day by Postmaster, Ernest Green,
chairman of the central committee di-
recting Air Mail Week preparations
in this state.
This contest will close the last day
of this month and few days thereaf-
ter the winner in each of the 48 states
will be announced.
The State Chairman announced that
any pupil in grammar or high chool
classes may compete. He explained
that the poster, to be eligible, must
relate to the Country's Air Mail Ser
vice of the present and future and its
adaptability to the needs of the Ma
tion. Thatu allows the contestants a

broad opportunity to use their imagi-
nation and to demonstrate their artis-
tic talents.
Posters will be judged so per cent
on originality of the idea; 25 per cent
for neatness and 25 per cent for
adaptability to promotion of the Air
Mail Services further development.
The poster should be on cardboard
twenty by twenty-five inches.
A committee of three judges will
be named by the Air Mail Week Chair
man in each state. The posters to be
entered in the contest must be mailed,
with postage fully prepaid, to the
State Chairman, National Air Mail
Week, Poster Contest, in care of your
local postmaster, and the postmark

The winning poster in each state will
be forwarded before May 9 to Major
Paul R. Younts, General Chairman,
Air Mail Week, at Charlotte, N. G..
and from these 48 posters will be
chosen the first and second place win
ners in the National Contest. The
first prize winner will receive a fine
trophy, and the second prize winner
will receive an appropriate plaque.
The winner in each state will receive
a handsome trophy from the State
Committee.
The State Chairman also said it is
important that each entrant in the
poster contest have the school prin-
cipal certify that the boy, or girl, is
eligible under the contest rules. Any
postmaster will provide the aspiring
young artist with any desired infor-
nation concerning these rules, which
are simple.
National Chairman Younts said, in
letter received by the State Chair
man, that the children who partici-
pate in the poster contest will render
"a valuable patriotic service to the
United States, because their posters
may be expected to prove of great
value in further developing the ma
tion's consciousness and appreciation

a prevalence of sore throats and the
following article clipped from the

A Milkborne Outbreak of Septic Sore
Throat
An outbreak of septic sore throat
comprising fifty-nine cases with no
fatalities occurred in Minetto and vi
cinity in Oswego county, N. Y, be-
ginning February 27 and ending
March Z. Forty-seven of the patients
were fifteen or more years of age.
Eighty-eight per cent of the cases had
used raw milk from one dealer ex-
elusively and the other IL per cent
had used raw milk from the dealer in
addition to milk which they had OBJ
tained from other sources. The deal
er supplied approximately 80 per cent
of the entire daily milk supply of the
village. The outbreak subsidized follow
inv pastuerization of all of his milk.
A mixer who gave history of i'll
ness with sore throat beginning Feb
ruary "a was found on dairy farm
which supplied a part of the milk
sold by the above mentioned dealer.
On the same farm were found two
cows suffering from mastitis. From
milk from one of these cows the State
Laboratory isolated hemolytic strep-
tococci belonging to the group COM
