cit is rather mild and relatively
free from any complications" said
DR.. Elliot, who termed the epide-
mic here in general of a mild
form, with only a few cases de-
veloping into pneumonia or any
serious complications.
FROM all Indications" DR.. Ell
liot said, influenza is spreading
here right rapidly and is affecting
a large number of people, but
most of them will be sick for just
a few days. There is not a great
deal we a DO about IL IN pre-
venting susceptible people from
having it."
DR.. Elliot said the most we can
do about it in this connection is for
citizens to avoid exposure to known
cases and to stay out of crowds as
much as possible. So far as the
individual is concerned, he or she
should try to stay way from
crowds and persons known to have
influenza.

full advantage might be taken o.

DR.. Elliot.
In the long run, the health Off
Ger pointed out, a few days in
bed at the onset will undoubtedly
save a great deal of time and sick
ness. If a persons temperature is
unusually high or there are any
indications of beginning complica-
tons, he suggested that the family
physician be called by all means.
Not having consulted the CONSOLE
dated board of health members
and not speaking in their behalf,
DR.. Elliot said, 81 feel that it is
very important that, we do not be-
come alarmed or hysterical.
There are so many other means
of daily contacts between people
that breaking school and theatre
contacts, in my opinion, would no
greatly reduce the number of PEG
pie affected by the time the cpl
demic has run it's course"
DR.. Elliot expressed the feeling
that the closing of tn schools
should be based primarily on eco
nomic factors, that is, if a suffi.
cient number of teachers and stu
dents are out and do not justify
the opening of the schools, tn {
schools should be closed as a mat
ter of good business.
"But SC far as greatly reducing
the number of cases that will even
tually occur in a given population,
the health officer said, Il doubt i
the closing of the schools and the
wearing of masks will have an,
marked beneficial effect"

We receive thousands of letters

those who wrote against it assured
me, and believe quite sincerely,
that at least 80 per cent of the peo-

wrote in support of the bill were
just as sincerely convinced that
majority of the people were for
the bill.

Editor Sank Centre Herald,
Sank Centre, MINI.
Gentlemen
On March 8, Saturday afternoon,
as was autoing to Sank Centre
and nearing the vicinity of the
county fair grounds, I met three
youths along side of pavement, a
young girl and two young boys.
They had BIB rifle. One Of the
boys with the gun given him by
his young pal, deliberately aimed
at the writer in his auto while
passing and fired the bullet, sing
ing past the drivers face through
an open window. It crashed into
the rear glass inside, with splinters
of glass sprinkling my face.
Boys are boys! I was a boy N.Y.
self at one time, but people do not
wish to be shot at when autoing
to the beautiful city Of Sank Cen
ire and I am sure these boys when
young men would not wish to il
jure the good name of the city
with distinguished pioneers and
famous sons and daughters, srch
as the late Frank M. Eddy, the
Lindbergs and Seals, the ancestors
of the world famous flyer, Charles
Lindbergh, who came from the

ly to the fact that Britain's fleet
is spread so thin there are not
enough destroyers for convoy pur-
poses.
Question which the Administra-
ton will have to decide is whether
it would be better for use in the
long run to transfer more Destroy
ers to Britain or to have the ships
do the conveying under our own
flag. It is a tough issue to face
and the Administration doesn't
seem any too anxious to meet it
squarely.
Isolationists, during consideration
of amendments to the lease-lend
bill in the Senate, fought hard for
one which would prohibit use of
American armed forces outside this
hemisphere. Their argument was
that opposition to such an amend
ment meant that the opponents
favored a foreign war Immediately
OF course, it meant no such
thing The fact is that such a
declaration of policy would have
stripped our diplomatic efforts to
halt aggression in Europe, and
more particularly in the Far East,
of two-thirds of their effectiveness.
Our fleet at Hawaii, and the fear
that we might use it, undoubtedly
is the most powerful single factor
which keeps Japan from moving on
the Dutch East Indies.
Removal of that fear by adop-
ton of some such declaration as
the isolationists sought might have
tipped the balance and started ia
pan moving, and it is very doubt
full whether we could have avoided
war in that case. Although sought
as a peace move, the net effect of
such a declaration probably would

Youth being full Of flame and
adventure must have some way to
spend this energy and II not prop
erly directed by their parents or
adults will go to the bad instead of
good, destroying property and in
juring others. The writer speaks
from experiences having some five
thousand dollars worth Of damage
done to his property by boys, yes,
some even young men, on the Iron
Range. 1t is there-look at it IL
you wish.
Parents who leave their offspring
grow up like wild Indians may pull
such stuff, the only difference is
the Indian protects his game only
killing enough for his food while
little boys shoot their best friends,
the birds. Man could not live a
week If all birds were destroyed.
Pests and insects would destroy
all crops, and man would starve.
My advice to these parents would
be to have their youngsters join
the Boy or Girl Scouts to have
them grow up to be our best of
citizens.

China is called China Proper and
it has four provinces called Tibet,

Most Of it's people live along the
Yangtze River which is the largest
river in China. The Yangtze Riv-
err would cover the whole United
States. Besides the Yangtze River
there are two other rivers called
the ST River and the Hwang River.
The Hwang River is noted for its
terrible floods. The word Yangtze
means "Great River" The name
Hwang comes from its muddy yell
low water.
