No .Scarlet Fever
In Clare, Physicians
Advise.The Sentinel
Some parents of small children will
be happy and relieved to learn that
no 'cases 'of scarlet fever have been
reported here ... as late'as Thursday
noon.' that is.
Quarantine of one house in Clare
was lifted earlier this yeek when the
child in the family which was thought
to be .a scarlet fever patient, developed measles instead.
Local doctors were not impressed
by the fears of an epidemic of
measles either. "Cases are no more
numerous, nor the illness more severe
than in some other seasons I remember," Dr. Hammerberg told the
Sentinel Thursday. He sympathized
with the little children as he doubted
they were enjoying measles, but all
doctors stressed the importance of
carefully following instructions in the
care of patients.
Parties, school attendance, and public gatherings for children will do no
harm, local- doctors said. The spread
of colds and measles was not thought
serious enough, to make -any'ban on
such gatherings advisable,

SENTENCED FOR
GROSS VIOLATION
Precedent   Set   Here   in   State
Conservation Department
Prosecution
For the 'first time in Michigan conservation history, the state on Monday brought suit against an alleged
deer-killer.
Nicholas_ V. "Olds, attorney for the
State Conservation Department,
served notice of the suit for $5,000
against Dr. Bernard I. Godfroy, of
Traverse City, and his employe, Bernard Maurer
They were appearing in justice
court here for sentencing in the illegal killing of 55 deer. Maurer received a 60-day sentence, and a $19
fine.
.Conservation officials said that a
permit" allowing the killing of "nui
sance deer" on Godfroy's property
had. be.-m, authorized covering the per
iod, from May to September, 1947
The venison was supposed to be turn
ed over to the department but never
was, game officials claimed.
On November 15 last year, a search
of   Godfroy's   property   in   southern
.Clare county,-'revealed that 55  deer
had been taken. ■
Olds indicated that the civil suit
,may set a precedent in fixing the
value of illegally killed deer for future
prosecution against violators,
. Conservation Director, P. • J. Hoff»
master said no attempt' will' be made
to prosecute the more than 6,000,per-
,sons arrested in 1948"for illegal deer-
killing. He said the department was
acting because of the "grossness of
this particular violation."
He said similar action would be taken in cases where wholesale violations occur.
