County Health Officer Warns Par.
ents About Smallpox

Doctor Charles R. Hayman, Kent
County Health officer, states that
three thousand vaccinations have
been done by the county health
unit and private physicians in the
past three weeks, however, most of
these have been done on school
children and adults. He issues
the following warning to parents:
II urge every parent whose chill
dren are six months of age or older
to have them vaccinated immed-
lately. Too many of you have
been waiting till your children en-
ter school to have them vaccinated.
You should realize that smallpox
may strike at any age, and that if
you wait until your children enter
school, it may be too late. Take
your babies and children to any
private physician in the county, or
bring them to the vaccination
clinic which will be held in "a rural
schools in the county during May.
Adults as we'll as children may be
vaccinated at these clinics"

AL Green and Cadets Furnish
Music For First Annual Af-
fair at Clubhouse
BERNIE GRIER VOCALIST

The first annual spring frolic of
the Smyrna Lions Club was held
last Friday night at the Twentieth
Century Club. More than a hun
dred Lions, Lionesses, and their
guests danced to the music of AL
Green and His Cadets. An atmos-
phere of spring was created by the
profuse use of large branches of
white dog-wood, and many favor
able comments were heard on the
decorations, which included cand-
les on the fireplace. Many men,
bers of the young set were guests
of the Lions, adding their youthful
charm to the very successful affair
The music was provided entirely
by local talent, smooth-playing
outfit, fast developing into pro-
fessional band. Outstanding was
the performance of Bernie Grier,
who doubled as trumpeter and vo-
calist. 1t was his first appearance
as a vocalist before a Smyrna aud
ience, and it was a sensational de-
but. Great credit is due the COM
mittee. Warner W.Price, Jr., Char
les M. Gee, and Henry Shapley
who had charge of arrangements
and decorations.
