Notes
from 1936
In an effort to check the out-
break of scarlet fever in
Lucknow, the four rooms of the
public school have been closed.
Two rooms were closed, but
owing. to several new cases
developing, it was thought ad-
visable to close the entire school.
The epidemic is of a mild nature.
0-0-0
The Government at Ottawa is
introducing a bill for more than
$50,000,000 for the purpose of
relief and providing em-
ployment. We are of the opinion
that some sort of permanent dole
will be the outcome of .the present
unemployment problem.

Wingham town council decided
at its April 6, 1936, meeting to
stop feeding and lodging tran-
sients on April 15 and that all
relief be stopped by May 1.
Council made the decision after
being informed that other towns
had stopped feeding and lodging
transients and that Wingham fed
and lodged • 10 to 14 a night.
