they said they would be, and watched them
all go for four weeks, praying hopefully that
they hadn't got the bug.
TT WAS a terrible night. SUE, delirous, kept
fitfully murmuring about the new puppy who
cried all night, though Stephen tried to keep
him quiet The next morning stephen left to

It's serious but not dangerous. Quaran-

My mother teephoned just then, and Dr.
Ginnis talked TO her. and she said she'd take
Steve and Norm right away and keep them
apart from the other children. Then Or. Gin

There's something about the stage of
