Elva Closed Down Because of Infantile Patalysis

From the October 31, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

Elva's little world is almost at a standstill.  A case or so of infantile paralysis responsible for the closing of schools, the church has been closed because the pastor has resigned, and the clubs have been discontinued because of sickness.

"Residents there deem the extra precaution advisable.  It is probable, however, that the schoolrooms will be opened and that matters will be going along as formerly in Elva within a few days."
