| VACCINATION REQUIRE
FOR SCHOOL ENTRANCE
|
In a statement issued this week by
Dr. J. Bruce McCreary, Deputy Secre-
tary of Health, the attention of Par-
| ents, school boards, school principals
and teachers was called to the impor-
| tance of securing successful vaccina-
| tion against smallpox during the va-
cation season for all children who will
| be ready to start upon their school ca-
{ reer for the first time this coming au-
tumn.
| “The law requires,” said Dr. Mec-
| Creary, that a certificate of successful
vaccination be submitted or, in case no
successful result has been obtained af-
ter two attempts, the authorized school
medical inspector's certificate of re-
vaccination before any new entrant:
| may be admitted to school.
{ Dr. McCreary particularly cautioned
principals and directors against per-
|
|
| mitting children to enter school with-
out presenting legal certificate requir-
| ed, as such action is against the law.

'FOR BENEFIT OF THE
|
Friday at the Grand Is
Worth Seeing.
One of the greatest pieces of mili-
tary strategy ever executed in the late
world war was that of the Battle of
Tannenberg in 1915 when Gen. Von
| Hindenberg successfully routed the
| Russian Army and captured 90,000
| prisoners. Hindenberg accomplished it
| by completely surrounaing his enemy.
| How this was done and how other fa-
mous battles of the world war were
conducted comprise the high spots of
“Behind the German Lines,” which will
be shown at the Grand theatre Friday
evening of this week for the benefit of
the American Legion of this place, and
to which the patronage of the public
is urgently asked.
“Behind the German Lines” was as-
sembled from motion pictures taken by
the German government throughout
the four years of the war. The UFA
company performed this task and lost
more than 25 cameramen in action in
doing it. The photographers literally
pointed the lenses of their cameras into
the jaws of enemy cannon and trench-
es. Every important engagement in
part has been recorded for posterity
by these intrepid men with the result
the film is, perhaps, the most inter-
esting record to come out of the war.
The picture is unbiased in every sense
of the word, being coi pletely devoid
of any propaganda wha ;soever.
TRAINS, AUTOS, ARE
DEATH TO 200 DEER
Almost 200 deer have been killed by
automobiles and trains since Jan. 1, ac-
cording to records of the board of
game commissioners at Harrisburg.
Officers of the board this week ask-
ed motorists to drive carefully in the
sections where deer arc .abundant not
only as a game conservation measure
but as a matter of self protection. In
a number of the instances reported to
the board motorists have been injured
by deer which had been hit by auto-
mobiles.
What is considered one of the stran-
gest incidents reported to the board
was the recent killing of six deer by
the Lehigh Valley railroad trains near
White Haven. Investigation by the res-
ident game protector revealed that the
deer had been atracted to the railroad
tracks by salt which had leaked from
a passing box car.
CONTAGION DECREASE
DISCLOSED BY REPORT
Improvement in health conditions as
regards communicable diseases is re-
flected in the report made monthly by
Dr. W. E. Matthews, medical director
of Cambria county, who points out to
at Harrisburg that contagion has been
on the decline since the close of the
school term.
Contagion in the county dropped to
138 cases in June, with measles, num-
bering 80, which is a falling off , at
the top of the list. Other cases were
listed on the report as follows: Mumps
28; whooping cough 10; chicken pox 8;
diphtheria 5; tuberculosis 4; scarlet fe-
ver 3. Dr. Matthews expects that mea-
sles will continue to wane in this sec-
tion as in other parts of the state, but
regards as an unfavorable sign the in-
creased prevalence of whooping cough
in the last 90 days.

Fire, which for a time waged beyond

estimated at $4,000, partly covered by
insurance.
