 "COunter=Attack"

 Preview reports state that Muni's current characterization is one of his most outstanding. Cast as Russian paratrooper he is to be seen without any makeup expect for couple of days growth of beard. The role is grueling one, according to reports but one to which Muni can bring all the great force of the histrionic past.
 Marguerite Chapman is cast in 6 vivd portrayal which is said to be her strongest to date. Playing throughout in the unglamorous pants and shirt of a Russian guer- rila, Miss Chapman is said to bring 1t her acting portrait the dramatic ability which many fans suspected was her forte.
 Larry Parks has been seen and remembered in many recent suc- cesses. Always he has given a fresh, manly and believable account. In this, his biggest opportunity, critics have given him high praise.
 Others in the Well-Ounded cast incuude Harro Weller. Roman Boh- nem, George Macready, Erik Rolf and Ludwig Donath.

Polio Strikes Billings Area As Fifty
Cases Reported In Midland Empire
Quarantine Not Necessary
Here Unless New Cases
Are Developed

First the city of Billings and
then Yellowstone county placed
themselves under quarantine
this week as fnfantile paralysis
in the area reached epidemic
proportions with so cases re-
ported from that area and
neighboring counties.
Only three cases have come
from Big Horn county and all
| three became i'll with the dis
ease more than three weeks ago
No new cases have been brought
to light here.
Big Horn county health Of
ficers called attention to the
gu al antine and emphasized
that while no quarantine SEEM
ed necessary here unless new
cases developed, it is still wise
to take all possible precautions
against contracting the disease.
Under the quarantine in Vel
owstone county, no one under
10 may leave the premises up
on which he resides and all
public meetings and events
which would require large num-
berS of persons, even though a.
dults, to gather, are prohibited.
People who come into this
county from the quarantined
area will be required to observe
the same conditions: that is
persons under 10 will be con-
fined to their premises for at
! OF
a quarantined community may
enter Big Horn county schools.
Persons who come into the
county from such communities
are required to have a health
certificate, but even so they are
still liable to the quarantine
conditions.
It was emphasized that So
cial activities in families with
children, even among adults
| should continue to be curtaled
and unnecessary visiting avoid
ed. Flies and food which has
been carelessly or improperly
handled may be a means Of
) spreading the infection, it was
stated, and elimination of flies
, from homes and careful and
frequent washing of hands were
among the preventive measures
!. recommended.
It was pointed out that the
fact that polio has apparently
been controlled here this year,
; always barring a new outbreak,
may be a large factor in pre-
venting the infection from strik-
ing next year.
Health officers said that any
one who has knowledge of any
person who is violating a quar-
antine should report the mat
ter at once to the county sher-
if, who will make an immed-
late investigation.
