Scarlet Fever
Closes Schools In
North LeWiSburq
All Children Confined
To Their Homes BY
Champaign Officials

All persons under l8 were
quarantined to their homes in
nearby North Lewisburg We'd
nesday because of a scarlet fever
epidemic.
The quarantine was ordered by
DR.. David Moore of Urbana,
Champaign County health COM
missioner. The epidemic was dis
covered Tuesday during a rou-
tine check by Mrs. Marie Walter,
county health nurse.
Mrs. Walter discovered nearly
Is positive cases among pupils in
the North Lewisburg High and
grade school.
w. D. Warly, school superin-
tendent, is confined to his home
with a throat infection, although
his case has not been diagnosed
as scarlet fever.
Game Called Off
DR.. Moore said the epidemic is
serious. He said no children are
to be allowed out of their homes.
A March of Dimes benefit dance
in the village, scheduled for We'd
nesday night, was cancelled.
The North Lewisburg-St. Paris
basketball tournament game in
Springfield Friday night was
called off.
Two extra nurses have been as
signed to North Lewisburg by DR..
Moore.
There's no excuse for the cpl
demic," " DR.. Moore said. Several
cases had not been reported to
the Board of Health, he said, and
children who either had the dis
ease or had been exposed to it
were attending school. He said
this accounted for the rapid
spread Of the fever.
Adults Not Stricken
"The schools will probably be
closed at least seven days" DIR.
Moore added. 1T is possible then
that we may be able to open the
schools on a limited basis"
So far the epidemic has not
spread to adults. Therefore there
has been no ban on their ac~
tivities.
Length of the epidemic de-
pends on how widespread it is
and how many children are affect
ed in given families, DR.. Moore
said.
There are about $50 children
enrolled in schools in the North
LeWisburg school district. North
Lewisburg has a population of
slightly more than 700 persons.

Hatchery Plans
Open House Here

Friday, Feb. 10, will be formal
opening day for the new Colon
ial Hatchery plant here and Jim
Bowin, manager of the plant, has
expressed the hope that as many
people as possible drop in to in
sect the building, its stock and
equipment.
This plant, which handles sales
for the entire northeastern
United States and some of the
southern states, has capacity of
producing $4,000 chicks every
three weeks. 1t will handle full
line of feeds, and all types Of
poultry equipment.
The northeastern district COW
cred by the MarysVille plant in
cludes all states north of Ken
lucky and east of Indiana, in
Guiding Maryland, Virginia, and
even extends INTO the CafollnaS.
The company has operated a
plant in Ohio since 1910. Prior
to the establishment of the
Marysville office, it was located
in Marion. This location was con-
sidered inconvenient, however,
and the Company spent some
tine in search for new loca-
ton. When the large cement
block building owned by Carl
Coleman on the Columbus rd., be-
came available they leased it.
In September of 1949 Colonial
established the plant here and
is now preparing for the heavy
season ahead.

when the sap began to run last
week. They have total of 833
buckets out and have enough
trees to handle several hundred
more.
All of the lumber used in the
construction of the camp was TAX
en- from the woods of the Smith
and Kramer farms.
Both of the operators have
been working night and day col
lecting and boiling down the sap
and Tuesday they worked until
midnight. Two part-time helpers
have been employed but still
there is plenty of work for all.
"We are gathering $50 gallons
or more of sap an hour" Frank
Smith, said, land we expect the
season to last until April" Both
expect very good run this year
although there has been a lack
of cold weather.
Selling for SIS Per Gallon
AS of Wednesday, they had
processed 80 gallons of maple
syrup, which will cover lot of
pancakes, and they were just
getting started. The syrup is sell
ing for SIS per gallon this year.
The camp, which appears to be
a highly successful venture is
the result of plain hard work and
ingenuity on the part of its
builders. The amount of time and
labor spent building and operat-
ing it is immeasurable and most
of it was done by the two youths,
with some help from their faith
erS.
The mornings are spent gather
ing the sap collected in the near
ly 900 buckets. 1t is poured in
to a tank on wagon and from
there is transferred to storage
tanks at the camp.
Runway Built
A runway was built SO that
it can be drained into the sta
tionary tanks by gravity alone,
The boiling of the sugar water
into sap is a long and exacting
process requiring attention and
knoW-how.
The final result is the golden
brown maple syrup that is alb
solute tops in putting the finish
ing touch on plate of pancakes
or waffles in the morning.

1903 per month while the 1948

One of the newest and. largest
maple sugar camps in Union
County was placed into operation
last week by two Union Town
ship youths, both still in their
teens.
Last spring Frank Smith, just
graduating from Union Local
High School, and Gene Kramer,
who preceded him in graduating
from Union a year before, decid-
ed to reopen the camp on Smiths
farm, near. Milford Center.
This was no small undertaking,
as everything has to be bought
new. The old building and prac-
tically all of the old equipment
was useless. A new building was
erected; new buckets purchased
and new cooker ordered.
