HERD SAID TO
BE AFFECTED
WITH DISEASE
Charges made to a Salem house
wife by a solicitor for a local dairy
that 13 cows out of a single dairy
supplying raw milk to Salem con
sumers had contagious abortion, the
germ of which causes Malta fever
in humans, was brought to the at
tention of J. E. Blinkhorn, city milk
Inspector, Tuesday. Blinkhorn point
ed out that tests for contagious
abortion are not required by the
present city milk ordinance, al
though the proposed milk ordinance
has a provision for such examina
tions and their control
The milk inspector also stated
that the abortion germ Is easily
killed by pasteurization, and fur
thermore that the drinking of raw
milk from cows with contagious
abortion does not necessarily mean
that the consumer would contract
Malta fever. There Is a possibility
of the disease mtppening in such a
case, but generally only If the con
sumer is run down or in bad physi
cal health. , j
Since the outbreak' of Malta fever
at the state tuberculosis hospital
some time ago, there have been only
scattering cases in the county. The
majority or dairies selling milk in
Salem are having their herds tested
for contsgtous abortion and are
quick In getting rid of any animals
that show a positive reaction to the
test. No cases of Malta fever have
been reported to the Marlon coun
ty health unit recently.

HISTORY AND
POETRY BASIS
FOR ARGUMENT
Lexington, Mass- (IP The shot
heard round the world Is still re
echoing through this historic town
despite the fact that it was fired
155 years ago.
Long have concord ana Lexing
ton engaged In friendly rivalry for
the distinction of being the scene
of that epochal event, and. with
Massachusetts celebrating its ter
centenry anniversary this year,
the controversy has been enlivened.
Despite Ralph Waldo Emerson's
poem which described the firing
of the shot at Concord Bridge, con
temporary historians for the Most
part appear to favor Lexington's
claim.
The principal basis for this
town's contention lies in the In
scription, "I'll Give Them the Con
tents of My Gun," which appears
on the monument on the grave of
one Ebenezer Munroe In an Ash
burnham cemetery.
Records revealed by research In
dicate that It was Munroe who
fired the famous shot, and that at
the time he was one of a group of
"rebels'' who faced the British on
Lexington Common,
Evidence includes a deposition by
Ebenezer Munroe, describing the
events of April 19, 1776. He was
alarmed, he states, at about S am.
and immediatly repaired to the
Common. There, Captain Parker
ordered the roll called and every
man to load his gun with powder
and ball. The men were then dis
missed but ordered to remain withr
in call of the drum.
About daybreak, according to the
deposition, there was a call to arms,
and as the men assembled on the
Common, the British approached
to within eight rods. A British of
ficer called the Americans "rebels'
and ordered them to dispurse. When
the command was ignored, the
British troops fired.
Corporal John Munroe remarked
to Ebenezer Munroe, who was be
side him, that the British had fired
nothing but powder. Ebenezer re
plied that it was more than powder
because he had suffered a woand
in his arm, and he added that he
"give them the guts of his gun.
This, many historians, contend, was
the shot that was heard found
the world.
That Ebenezer Munroe actually
was wounded in the battle on Lex
ington Common has been well es
tablished by the discovery of i
copy of the "Massachusetts' Spy, or
American Oracle or Liberty," pub
lished in Worcester Just 14 days
