DISEASE HELD IN CHECK IN CITY AND ONLY ONE CASE HAS BEEN SERIOUS
IMPROVING AT ALL THE CAMPS
Green Bay Reports That The Climax Has Passed There — Outlook Is Now Good

The Spanish Influenza epidemic is abating. In the city there are many cases but few of them are at all serious. Robert Eberlein, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Eberlein is the one in Shawano who has been very seriously sick with the disease, and even yet is not out of danger, although this afternoon he is improving [1]. Green Bay and Shawano were the hardest hit, and the report from Green Bay last night says that the epidemic is held in check there. Clintonville has had no cases, and practically none in London, Appleton, or Oconto. In the East around Boston where the epidemic started, the condition is very much improved, and the reports this morning from Camp Grant and Great Lakes say that conditions are getting better there.

The measures taken by the city authorities to check the spread of the influenza here have been to close the schools, churches, places of amusement, public and private gatherings as far as possible. Ice cream can not be eaten in community dishes but must be taken home. No crowds are allowed to loiter in places of business. Today’s report shows a great improvement everywhere, and it is hoped that in our next issue we can report the danger practically passed.

Australian in Clintonville: Visitor Finds Christmas Same in U. S.

CLINTONVILLE — To an Australian who is in his graduate year at St..Louis Seminary, St. Louis, Mo. the celebration of Christmas here is much like it is in his home of Adelaide, Australia, except for the weather.

Peter Kriewaldt, who-intends to become a minister, is spending the holidays with a distant relative, Charles Mack, 80 Rohrer St.

The 24-year-old Australian’s grandfather, Emil Kriewaldt, was born in Pella (Shawano County) so he is visiting distant cousins while here for the holidays.

Kriewaldt observed that while Christmas is observed in his native land much like it is here, the weather is much different. He said it is now summer in
Australia, and when groups go out caroling, they are in shirtsleeves.

Church Service
The emphasis is very much on church services in Australia,during this season, he remarked. Kriewaldt was scheduled to speak at the 6 and 8:30 p.m. Christmas Eve services at St.Martin Lutheran Church.

Peter’s godfather, Rev. Emil Kriewaldt became a missionaryto Australia following his graduation from St. Louis Serminary. He died in 1917, and his widow and four sons came back to Shawano until about 1925 when they all returned to Australia. Peter’s father, Emil Jr., completed his education while in the United States and also became a minister, and is now in Adelaide, Australia.

Peter had gone through college and had spent two years in the seminary in Australia, when he interrupted his studies and went to Europe to study in
Germany for a semester;

Came in 1963.
He came to St. Louis in September 1963, and after one school year there, vicared for one year in a Chicago suburb. He is now in his last quarter at the seminary and will graduate at the end of February, 1966. He will return to Australia in March to take up a parish there.

Peter said he wanted to have the benefit of the seminary in St. Louis where there was a wider variety of classes than in Australia. Also, he said it was a
little bit of “wanderlust” that made him want to travel to Europe and then here.

Peter, the youngest in a family of three boys, said there are more luxuries and conveniences her[e] than in Australia. He said Australia is something like
the United States was about 20 years ago, but quickly added, “I don’t think it will be a sacrifice to return home.”
