SMALL POX IN CLIFTON Two rasas of small pox have broken out in Clifton, Chester Preston and the small daughter of Prank Swadner. Both art under quarantine Mid the earn are mild in form. The Public Schools wish to take this opportunity to express their ap­ preciation o f the hearty support and cooperation received in' making •the ckfeteria supper and program of last Friday evening the decided success it was. The very hearty support of the teaching staff deserves marked attention. The teachers were con­ stantly on duty’ directing the service and seeing to it that all were well cared for. The pupils were ready and glad at n,Utimes to do their very best in the services o f the supper and the handling of the crowd. The parents and patrons were un­ stinting in their contributions of food as was" evidenced by the feeding of somewhere near 300 people. Very lit­ tle food was left at the close o f the supper and what was left was cared for by the patrons before leaving the building so there was no waste. The bread for the supper was do­ nated by the Cedatville Bakery, The trays were donated by Mr. Me Milton. Some supplied were donated by Mr. Troute, special prices were given by Mr. Pringle, Mr, Creed and Mr. Richards on supplies furnished by each. The gross receipts of the evening including the supper, the candy, the fortune booth and cash contribution# was $152.47. The gross expenses cov­ eting all purchases was $20.40. The net balance in the fund is $123.01. This amount will go a long way, toward supplying the typewriter equipment for which it is intended. The Senior class o f the High School is planning for a “ Tag Sale" on Election day. The returns from this Sale are to supplement the re­ turns from the supper and be a part of the same fund.

We are unable to give fsny definite answer in view of tho fact that most every town in the county has been recognized as having a part in .the campaign. Cedarville township will deliver the usual Repub­ lican majorities just as we have in the past and probably a little greater under, the circumstances. Cedarville township voters have no great love for the powers that be in party man­ agement in • the county and we judge the management feels the same way about this. township and completely ignored us.
