A Disappointment We were quite disappointed this past week to learn of the last actions, or inaction, of Waldo (Bud) Neal, outgoing county treasurer. We understand, on very good authority, that during the past Month he let his deputies, including' his wife, coast a little, rather than start work on filling out the 13,000 March tax receipts, usually the next big job for the treasurer’s office. This throws the entire load of work on the new county treasurer, William Linn, and his deputies. Bill will get the job done, of course. But it seems a petty trick for a grown man, who has had two terms as treasurer, and is asking to be elected county assessor, to pull. Neal generally is a very cheerful man, a little quick-tempered, but generally a good meeter of the public. j But this, and other recent actions, takes him down a few notches in our respect for him. We understand that Linn asked several times to go over the treasurer’s job with Neal, but that he was put off until the last week. We do know that Linn went over to Bluffton to study how the job is done there. Now, this isn’t the first time that this has been done; partisan politics often sees petty tricks pulled on a successor of the opposite party. But it does not leave a very good taste with the general public, whose primary interest is good, fast service, and is not interested in the wrangling of public officers.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The U.S. Public Health Service has reported outbreaks of flu in six states and expects more of the same before the winter is over. The following dispatch examines the seriousness of the current outbreaks, what flu really is, and what can be done about it. By DAVID SMOTHERS United Press International “I had a little bird, “It’s name was Enza. “I opened the window “And in-flu-enza.” This was deadly doggerel in 1918-19, the years when a world pandemic of influenza killed more than 20 million persons, 548,000 of them in the United States. The snatch of rhyme about “in-flu-enza” was a bitter way of laughing at the most deadly outbreak in recorded history of the common ailment known as flu. In those days, doctors knew precious little of the nature, origin and prevention of flu. They know far more now. Yet flu epidemics still occur and a new outbreak — mild one — is gaining ground this winter. The Communicable Disease Center of the U.S. Public Health Service announced in Atlanta last week that outbreaks of flu had been confirmed in the, States of California. Oregon, Colorado, Arizona. Missouri and Florida. The flu going the rounds this season was classified as “typeB.“ It did not carry the lethal threat of the “type-A” variety of flu — the kind which produced the “Spanish influenza” plague of 1918-19 and the “Asiatic flu” killer of 1957-58. In most cases, type-B outbreaks of flu are localized and sporadic. They are easier to control. But you can feel just as miserable with type-B flu as you can with type-A. School children have been the major victims of the flu outbreaks of the winter of 1961-62. In some cases, schools have had to shut down because up to 60 per cent of the youngsters were home in bed with the aches and sniffles. industries have not been sorely afflicted by absenteeism caused by the flu. The death rate has not risen above normal. But in some cities, there was no shrugging off the effects of this year’s visit from the flu virus. Miss Margaret Consedine, head operator of a medical exchange service in St. Louis, said “I think this is the worst outbreak of sickness the city has ever had.” The California Department of Health pinpointed flu outbreaks in Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Francisco, Sonoma. Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. The peak was in November, when several Santa Clara and Santa Cruz County schools reported that 300 to 400 children were home sick. -ja— -l—ttt Schools closed down in Oregon, too, often because teachers as well as students had the flu. In Colorado, almost half the school children in the San Juan Basin were afflicted last month, but most of them were able to come back to school after just a day. Arizona’s outbreak was be-

lieved to be tapering off. The U.S. Public Health Service saw the flu outbreaks coming as long ago as last Aug. 30, when Surgeon General Luther Terry sent out a warning. That warning may be one of the reasons why flu vaccine has turned up in short supply in some areas this winter. . • ' A cross-section of drug manufacturers reported that the word from the health service caused a small panic and triggered a rush of orders which the vaccine makers couldn’t fill. The trade, wary after getting caught with an over supply last year, had not stockpiled vaccine for this year's flu season. Flu vaccine was suddenly hard to come by in such states as Illinois, Arkansas and California. L. H. Stoner, branch manager for Parke-Davis Co., a big flu vaccine manufacturer, said in Los Angeles “we haven’t had a sufficient amount of flu vaccine since the first of September. We never had such a demand as we had this year. The possibility of a flu epidemic is always with us, but doctors have convinced people to immunize against it.” Despite the scattered reports of vaccine shortages, doctors and public health officials said they were confident there was plenty of it available to take care of those who needed it most — persons over 65 years old, victims of chronic or debiliating illnesses, and pregnant women. These are the people who are most in danger of death when a major flu epidemic strikes. The first major influenza epidemic in modern history came in 1743, when “flu” apparently got its name. The Italians called the malady “un influenza di freddo” —“an influence of cold wind.” Thus, “influenza” really means “influence.” After the great flu pandemic (world epidemic) of 1918-19. flu epidemics were recorded in the United States in 1932-33, 1934-35, 1936-37, 1938-39, 1940-41, 1943, 1947, 1950 and 1953. Then came the winter of 1957 and the beginning of three waves of a tricky virus which was labeled the Asian flu. It was a killer. A research team reporting in the Journal of the American Medical Association said the nation's first Asian flu assault claimed 40.000 more lives than the normal death rate from September through December. 1957. The second wave, from January through March. 1958. accounted for 20,000 excess deaths. The third edpidemic — the nation's latest major flu affliction — hit during the first three months of 1960 and was blamed for 27.000 deaths. That brought the total score of the Asian flu in this nation alone to 87,000 fatalities. Yet it was not until 1933 that scientists were able to isolate the first flu virus and begin studying what the disease was all about. And it wasn’t until 1940 that the B-type virus, the one which is putting people in bed this winter, was pinpointed. It turned out that the secret of influenza was as simple—or mysterious—as A, B, C and D.

“A” is the one to

L. of C. > - — —« Modern Etiquette By Blhwts Lee Q. My son Is marrying a nice girl from another city and she does not have many friends in this town. I know it is not proper for relatives to give showers. So, is there some other gesture of friendship and affection I can make? A. One nice thing you can do is give a tea or bridge party, or any informal get-together for the purpose of introducing your son’s fiancee to his friends and relatives. Q. A couple dropped in at our home one evening recently, and the woman had her hair done up in pincurls with a scarf tied around her head. Am I right in thinking this was rather rude on her part? A. This was much more than RATHER rude! It comes in four different flavors, all of them dangerous. There is Al, otherwise known by the gentle title of swine influenza, which is blamed for the plague of 191819. A2, sometimes also classified as A4, is the Asiatic flu breed. The two other A’s accounted for the 1934-53 and 1946-57 outbreaks. The type “A” strain was discovered first. That’s the only reason why it rates the “A” label in the medical texts. Type “B” has two groups, one prevalent from 1936 to 1948 and the other since 1954. Types “C” and “D” are both rare, but distinct, varieties of the flu. demies say they can spot the arrival of flu outbreaks. Type “A” turns up on a global basis every two to three years. Type “B” saves its strength for strikes every four to six years. “B” hadn't made much of a splash since 1955 and scientists were therefore not surprised when it showed up on the hospital charts this winter. The flu virus is a little thing—so small that 25 million of them could balance on the head of a pin without feeling crowded. It grows vicious when its enzymes eat through the wall of a body cell and the virus core follows, penetrating to the cell nucleus. The infected cell, in turn, can produce hundreds of new virus particles. The most productive landing place for a flu virus is in the cells lining the nose. Flu is an air-borne disease and you can carry it around with you and transmit it to someone else without getting sick yourself. But when a flu outbreak gets going, it is practically impossible to avoid exposure. Once you’re smitten, the results come quickly —first aches, pains, headaches and that tired feeling, then chills? fever and sometimes nausea. If all goes well, the flu victim should be feeling himself again in three to four days- =====
