GLOUCESTER, Va, Sept. 8. -
The little frame cottage, part OF
which was restored "a years ago.
hardly looks it's age.
If you stand inside, in one OF
it's three tiny rooms, you can hear
the aging timbers creak and groan
as the wind whistles in from near
by Chesapeake Bay.
Here, one hundred years ago.
the Rev. and Mhs. Lemuel S.
Reed took refuge when fire swept
their parsonage across the road.
And here, on September 13, 1851,
a few days after the fire, was born
one of Americas great crusaders
against disease, DR.. Walter Reed.
The fame of the man who was
born within its humble walls
doubtless will outlaSt the cottage.
Nowadays the cottage is visited,
now and then, by tourists. Most
are surprised to find from roadside
signs that here life began for a
man who, by discovering how yell
low fever was transmitted. gave
life to untold thousands.

birth. It will be day of speech
making. An Army band will play.
The little cottage will be the cen
ter of interest.
BY then, the plaster in the cot
tage's living room, great chunks
of which have fallen in recent
years, will have been replaced.
When Walter Reed was born,
the cottage was a part of the
large "Belroi'' estate. The Reeds
stayed in the house only a few
days before moving to more COM
Portable quarters. Mr.. Reed was
serving the Gloucester charge OF
the Methodist church.
Walter Reed entered the Uni
versity of Virginia Medical School
and in 1869 took his degree in
medicine from the university. At
II, he was one of the youngest
graduates in the schools history
Afterward, DR.. Reed studied at
Bellevue Hospital in New York
and became an inspector for the
Brooklyn Board of Health. He
joined the Army in 1875.
Specialized at Johns Hopkins.
In IA years, he attained the
rank of major. He had been sta
! toned in Arizona. Then. growing
in eminence, DR.. Reed went to
Johns Hopkins Hospital to spe-
cialize in bacteriology. He became
professor in bacteriology at the
Army Medical School and in 1893
undertook an intensive study OF
yellow fever.
An epidemic broke out among
Army troops in Cuba in 1900
Theories were advanced that the
disease was carried by air :. that
it was caused by unsanitary living
conditions.
| DR.. Reed, basing his theory on
experience with previous epidem-
les at Norfolk, Portsmouth, and
Alexandria, Va, thought the fever
was carried by mosquitoes. In a
series of tests he proved that it
was.
Now yellow fever is almost un-
known in this country .EDr. Reed S
discovery has been called one of
the most important triumphs of
archaeological science.
The birthplace was officially
opened october Is, 1927. More
people came to the locale in those
days. Belrol post Office was nearby
and a flourishing store stood
across the highway.
Son and Daughter to Attend.
Since then, Belroi has died out.
The post Office is closed now,
and the store has folded, too.
But it all will come to life next
Sunday, when Gloucester folk get
together to honor their greatest
son.

by order of the Gloucester Board
of Supervisors. Sponsors include
the local Junior Chamber of Com
Imerce, the Virginia Medical So

Among the expected guests is

Reed, and his daughter, Mrs.
Blossom Reed.
Invited too are a pair of old
isters who are the only surviving
members of the courageous group

in 1900 to submit to inoculation
by DR.. Reed in his search for the
cause of yellow fever. They are

and 2 teaspoons of salt. Cover
with a tight lid and bring to
a fast boil. Then reduce the heat

 Flare Dropped Here

The second black-out held in four days on Saturday night in the Jun eau portion of exercise "Firestep" was conducted more efficiently than that of last Wednesday night in the opinion of the Civil Defense council said director R. E. Robertson.
 Lights were extinguished more quickly and the general public CO., operated well. Only two cars were reported as willfully disooeyine the regulations as against six on We'd nesday from Juneau. These viola tions are being investigated to as- certain what action should be taken by the Civil Defense council. The Aux Bay area again did not hear the alert or all-clear signals.

Sunday dropping bright flare plainly visible above Mt Juneau In asmuch as an alarm was called and a black-out practice was observed at the alert alarm at 9:52 pm. the Civil Defense council, in keeping with its notices to the public, did not call a second black-out when the plane came over.
