Mr. Fidger stated that plans for a storage reservoir in Eagle Creek above 39th Street were important to Speedway City and he urged speed in making such plans. Mr. Walton also urged rapid progress on the improvement of the channel of Eagle Creek below 39th Street and the planning and construction of a dam at or about 39t|i Street i The motion made by Mr. Fidger and seconded by Mrs. Nash was voted unanimously. Mr. Blythe said that the Marion County Flood Board and the Indianapolis Park Board were considering the purchase of land in Eagle Creek-Valley upstream from 39th Street.

Watch Out/ Influenza is here! Both the common cold and the flu were flourishing. Influenza symptoms include fever, sore throat, headache, aching muscles, and extreme tiredness. When the illness has run its course anywhere from one to two weeks—the patient would be well advised to have something handy to hold onto when he first gets out of bed. He’ll feel as though he’d just run nonstop from New York to Los Angeles and he’s quite likely to feel that way for another two weeks. Prowling pneumonia germs will have a hungry eye on him during this period, so he’d better get plenty of The flu is a dangerous illness for anybody. But it’s particularly perilous for anyone with a chronic chest disease—bronchitis, tuberculosis, emphysema, or any other lung or heart ailment. The flu can make the ailment worse in suffers from such diseases. It can bring on a relapse in those who have recovered. And it can kill If you have or have had a chronic respiratory disease, ask your doctor about vaccination against flu. There are a number of influenza viruses, and vaccines available today do not protect against all of them. However, if a case of flu would be especially dangerous to you, vaccination is a worth-while precaution. Backstop the vaccine with extra rest, good food, and avoidance of crowded places as much as possible. If you come down with even the mildest of colds, stay home and take particularly good care of yourself.
