Dr. Gri§wold the local health officer, has xlad’ more than 150 cases under servation ,and the epidemic is now quite well under control. & Previous to the Christmas vacation the disease was widespread. While schools were closed the pupils came tn contact’ with one another and the disease began to make its appearance !in new quarters. Since the Christm period, impetigo has been reduced to & few cases, but it is feared that dur- Ing the present Easter vacation, Spidemic may be renewed. Parents are advised to watch their children to make certain that the impetigo does vot appear.

The weight of the car caused the rails to turn over and the roadbed was torn up for nearly 50 feet. The soft earth caused the rear trucks of the car to sink nearly three feet into the ground. It was found necessary to call the wrecker from Hartford to replace the.car upon the rails. Railroad repairmen are at work getting the track into shape. Truck Comes to Grief.

Brick production is being seriously interfered with owing to the shortage of labor. Nearly all of the yards have only half the number of men needed to carry on the work. HKarly in the vear the shortage of coal, curtailed the brick output, but mow \that this i difficulty has been met, labor cannot | be obtained at any price. Improved conditions are expected early in April, as every year there are a number of factory workers who leave the shops for outside work. ‘Tendered Surprise Party.

In order that no uncertainty may exist in the minds of the people of Plainville as to what they may expect in connection with the ice situation this vear, the following brief state- ment is issued by one of the dealers: “Barring unforeseen accidents or circumstances bevond control, there will be available a sufficient supply of the finest quality ice to care for the needs of the people of Plainville for the season of 1920. This ice was har- vested the early part of the winter of 1919, so that a full supply of clear ice was obtained and it was unnecessary j to fill in with the inferior snow-ice which was the only kind obtainable from later harvesting.” Brief Ttems.
