Duck Hunters
Must Get License

Whether to be used to retrieve
dead or injured ducks from the

the owners name and license num-
Der plainly painted on it, says
Game Warden lie Compile, and
have instructed w. Carroll Waters,

Schools Not Closed
For Scarlet Fever

Two recent inquiries have been
received by the Montgomery coun-
ty health department regarding at
tendance when scarlet fever has
occurred. In both instances an ar
rangement was made to safeguard
the children without loss of school
time.
Closing schools or class rooms
because of communicable diseases
is almost never justified, accord
ing to DR.. V. L. Ellicott, county
health officer. This drastic measure
not only deprives children of their
education but in many cases ac-
tually aids the spread of disease
from the unreccgnized cases which
would have been detected and iso-
lated had the school been open.
There are times, however, when
other precautions are desirable. An
example Of this is the modified
attendance" plan used in the Chevy
CHEESE elementary school two years
ago. The children of one class
room, in which several cases of
scarlet fever had occurred, were
requested not to reach school until
after nine o'clock, go Immediately
to their class rooms, have sepa-
rate recess period and be dismissed
earlier than the others. They re-
ceived careful inspection as they
reached school. Thus, contact dur
ing play periods (which is more
dangerous than class room expos
ure) was avoided. This plan is not
suitable in all cases, especially
where bus transportation is in
volved, but it is type Of proceed
ure more desirable than closure of
schools.

MONTGOMERY
III SIDELIGHTS

We have so much enjoyed a
series of stories on Montgomery
county, written by Mr.. Warner for
Washington paper. By queer
coincidence we were a visitor at
Madison House in Brookeville on
Tuesday when they ran a story
about Brookeville.
Our good friend, Mr.. "Will'
Jones and his sister, Miss Evie
Jones, now own Madison House, a
large brick building, painted white.
They do not think Dolly Madison
ever stayed there.
A bronze marker on the front
porch, placed there by a historical
society, tells that President Madi-
son and his attorney, General Rich
ard Rush, stayed there August 26
and 81, 1914, following the burn
ing of the public buildings in
Washington by the British.
On the wall of the large old
fashioned hall there is framed
facsimile of letter dated Brooke
vile, August 81, 1914, written by
President Madison to his wife, who
presumably was in Washington.
He spoke of visiting Montgom-
cry County Court House, as Rock
vile was known in early days, and
finding our army gone, came here
hoping to join it, There he says
he found a line from Col. Monroe
saying the enemy had gone and
advising a prompt return to the
capital.
He goes on to tell her that 1--WE
viii return Immediately, and will
/ then look for a place where we
MY lrs our heads.' He sid Isp7
ney, by whom he was sending the
letter, would give her more parti-
culars, and also gave her mes
sage from a Mr.. Bradley whom he
had seen at Montgomery Court
House.
We liked the way Mr.. Warner
ended his story with Dolly's fruit
cake recipe = we'll "come next
summer" the Sentinel will give you
Miss EVE Jones' corn pudding
recipe = mighty fine with fried
chicken as all who ever attended a
church supper at Brookeville know.
To bring this story down to
present time - Brookeville has a
promising young writer in John
Beverly Riggs, 23-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Laurason Riggs, who
has compiled and published a COM
plete history of the Riggs family
- beautiful piece Of work. He
