36 COUNTIES REMAIN UNDER INFLUENZA BAN

The state board of health Friday announced that its order prohibiting public gatherings because of epidemic influenza will be left on thirty-six counties where conditions are unfavorable for an immediate lifting of the full ban. The state-wide order was issued three weeks ago, and was to expire at midnight this Saturday. It will expire in fifty-six counties only. The counties where the ban will continue in full or on part are Cass, Clark, Clay, Dearborn, Elkhart, Fayette, Floyd, Fountain, Gibson, Greene, Hamilton, Hendricks, Huntington, Jackson, Jasper, Johnson, Kosciusko, Laporte, Lake, Lawrence, Montgomery, Noble, Orange, Porter, Putnam, Rush, Shelby, Switzerland, St. Joaeph, Tippecanoe, Vermillion, Vigo, Warrick, White and Whitley. The state board will work out with county health officers in the epidemic areas arrangements whereby the ban may be lifted in parts and in places where the disease is abating beyond a dangerous situation.
