All quarantine restrictions were removed at a meeting of the City Council held last Thursday evening, and business in Kemmerer has assumed its accustomed pace. Public assemblies of all kinds are permitted and the indications are that there is to be a whirl of society activity that will make up for the quiet that has prevailed for the past two months or more. The New Kemmerer Theater was opened Sunday evening, and a large crowd was in attendance and was highly pleased with the entertainment furnished. Dances and roller skating parties promise to be of frequent occurrence. Mr R. A. Mason, president of the local school board stated to a representative of the Camera that no action had been taken be the board with reference to opening the schools, and that it was not likely that the schools would be opened for two weeks at least. The partial lifting of the quarantine occurred about two weeks ago was just in time to speed up the usual holiday shopping, and all the stores report an excellent holiday trade.

The Kemmerer Theatre was fumigated last Saturday afternoon by Dr. Goldberg, city health officer, on account of George Whitten, proprietor and manager of the theatre, being confined to his home that morning for small pox.

There may have been no necessity for the fumigating as Mr. Whitten was not in the theatre for more than a small portion of the time, but Dr. Goldberg decided that it would be wise to take precautionary steps to prevent any possibility of the spreading of the disease. Mr. Whitten is reported as quite ill but in no danger. Kemmerer Camera August 3, 1921
