Throughout the area works and businesses are carrying on with reduced staffs.
Epidemic
On the advice of the Medical Officer, the Denaby schools were closed on Tuesday for two weeks owing to the prevalence of influenza. There seem to be few home in the area unaffected by the epidemic.
The circular issued by the Urban Council was received this week. It contains much useful information which it is hoped, will be made use of as far as possible.
At the weekly meeting of the Parish Church Sunday School teachers it was decided to close the Sunday Schools till the day schools re-open.
