Heard Spring officially arrived in Yates county, in common with other neigh boring sections of this country, at 4:02 Sunday morning. We had the joy, however, of heralding it. in with two days of thaw and warm rain, Friday and Saturday. This turn for warmer weather removed much of the snow and turned frozen brooks into small torrents. From various sections of « the county come interesting reports concerning the unusually late arrival of spring following the severe winter: Despite the warm rains and tlmvs of the past W'eek high ridges of ice on many of Y'atcs County's main highways make automobile traveling difficult. The Penn Y'an-Branchport-ITammonds- port road is reported to he entirely free and in the best condition. William Sebring, of Rock Stream and William Murphy, of Dundee, had a head-on collision with their automo biles while driving on the Dundce-Wat kins state road on Saturday morning They were on the stretch between Wil liam Drake’s and Avliat is known as dead man's curve, when both were driving in the ruts. As they saw one another, but though going at a mod erate rate of speed they could not ge‘ their cars out before they came to gether. Both cars received broken hut caps, bent axles and smashed fenders but were able to proceed on their wray Neither was hurt. The roads are ver; bad for automobile traveling now, ant when a driver gets into a rut it i; sometimes impossible tq get out for ; long stretch. It is a wonder that then arc not many more accidents, but driv ers realizing this condition drive with due caution.—Dundee Cor. STATE CONVENTION WILL MEET HERE Old Time Fiddlers.

It was but a short time ago that the ice sealed tin. entire surface. The several days ol extreme cold which followed then in quick succession completed the job to perfection and up to the present, time sun and wind have done but little in weakening the ice, which remains solid except for three or four inches on the top. Several cracks are appearing, however, at certain spots, so if this warm weather continues the ice can not last much longer. The water in the outlet at Penn Y'^an | Ahda L.

Under the direction of the local health officer, Dr. B. S. Strait, and Yates County nurse, Miss Nellie Z. Mahar, assisted by a health committee composed of Mrs. Louise K. Corbin, Mrs. Charles Andrews, Mrs, George Taylor, Mrs. William Grady and Mrs. Karl Mallory, all of Penn Yan, a cam paign is being started in this section to secure the safety of all children against the ravages of diphtheria. This local campaign, Avhich is Lo be carried on in conjunction with a simi lar state-wide effort, aims to have all children between the ages of 6 months and 10 years protected by vaccination. A neAV toxin-antitoxin when given by three simple injections to children of this age insures immunity from diph theria for the rest of their lives. Last fall and spring some 30 local chil dren Avere so treated, ami this year it is hoped that all others will be so im munized. Latpr in the campaign a house to house canvass will be made in an ef fort to have all parents sign cards per mitting this easy measure of protec tion fi^r their children. Clinics for this purpose will be scheduled later. Miss Mahar reports Che \following j announcement just made public by tin? state health commissioner, Matthias Nicholl, Ji\: “January Jst marked the opening of a state-Avide campaign di rected toward eradication of diph theria. The first and most important step will be an endeavor to convince the largest possible number of par ents, public officials and others of Un desirability of protecting all children under 10 years of age against this dis ease through toxin-antitoxin immuniza tion. “ The state department of health fur uishes toxin-antitoxin mixture, careful ly standardized and tested in its lab oratory, to health officers, school phy sicians and /private practitioners of medicine, Avitliout charge. Its adminis (.ration is a simple procedure causing little if any discomfort or inconven ience to the child. Us value as a pro tective measure lias been so thorough ly established during the period of ap proximately ten years in Avhich it has been used that conservative health of ficials and family physicians give it to their oavu children and do not hesitate to recommend it to others. “ As state commissioner of health, I recommend to all local health officers, particularly in cities and larger com munities, that they join actively in this state-wide movement, lay out a defi nitc program, endeavor to secure such local appropriations as may be neces sary to provide immunization for those children to Avhom it will not othenvis° be available, and to arouse the inter est and qnlist the support of physi cians, parents, officials, newspapers and any other organizations or Indi viduals in a position to assist in pro moting this movement for protection of children and for the common good.\ v Losing Side Entertains. ity building is in a sense a public en terprise and consequently this question is one in Avhich all village residents should be intensely interested.
