Al * Health Ordinance Oil June 26th the Board of Health passed the following re solution which was published in the Franklin Times and posted at the Picture Show and other places : "Owing to the prevalence of Infantile Paralysis the Franklin County Board of Health passed the following ordlance: Until further notice all children under 15 years of age are pro hibited from attending camps, Sunday Schools, picnics, parties, neighbor-hood gatherings, church weddings, or swimming pools, or any public gatherings. Parents or guardians allowing children to violate this ordinance will be subject to prosecution un der Article 7066 Public Health Laws of North Carolinia." The board of health has been advised that this ordinance is not being observed by certain parties. The board of health feels that the parents of these children under 16 years of age who are attending picture shows are not aware of the seriousness of the violation of this ordinance, sec tion 7066 of the Health Laws pf North Carolina which reads as follows: 7066? Violation of rules of County Board <^f Helath a mis demeanor. * If any person shall violate the rules and regulations made by the county board of health he shall be guilty of a mis-demeanor, and fined not exceeding fifty dollars or Imprisoned not exceeding thirty days. The Board of Health would re gret exceedingly to prosecute any one under thl* law, but owing to '.he seriousness of the Infantile Paralysis epidemic it will be neces sary. for the Board of Health to enforce this ordinance.

America's Last Frontier Rebuilt Klondike Lives Again in Filiz&tion of "Call of the| Wild" at The Louisburg Theatre Thursday and Friday, August 15-16 America's last frostier is gone1 ?but not^orgotten. A vital, inov-1 ing record of its two-fisted hero ics, its wild turmoil, ii preserved! for posterity in celluloid. The! Klondike ? Skagway ? Dawson ? the last geographical landmarks of a vanishing frontier live again on the screen in 20th Century's "Call of the Wild," which begin a two day engagement at the Louisburg Theatre Thursday, August 15 with Clarke Gable, Loretta Young and Jack Oakle in the leading roles. Darryl Zanuck produced the picture with all the vigor and pic turesquenesa of Jack London's classic record of the Alaskan gold rush of 1897 on which Gene Fow ler and Leonard Praskins based their screen play. Gable is seen as a swashbuck ling prospector who meets a young San Franci$e6 society beau ty, played by Loretta Young, on the trail. Thrown together, their codes conflict. However, with life stripped of ail the artifices of civilization, their differences van ish and they fail in love. Jack Oakle supplies the come- . dy relief as Gable's wise-crack ing buddy, while also prominent ly cast are Frank Conroy, Regi nald Owen, . Katherlne deMllle, Sidney Toler and "Buck," the new dog star. Director William Wellman. whose "Wtags," "The Public En emy" and Other 'directorial ef forts marked milestonei^-m -jfllm history, handled the megaphone on this Joseph M. Sfehenck?pre sentation, released through Uni ted' Artists. The entire picture was filmed in the snow country of remote northern Washington.
