The county health chief urged parents to keep children from streams to prevent typhoid and inoculation campaigns were promoted. Fire department officers were announced for Ballston, and a pastor search committee for Clarendon Baptist church outlined. The week includes civic meetings in Lyon Park and Boy Scout plans, plus arrests and social events reported from Clarendon and surrounding communities.
