Foreign Disease Is Attacking Sheep Suspicious Outbreaks of Disease Requested to Be Reported Sheep raisers throughout the nation are warned that warm weather may bring fresh outbreaks of a foreign sheep disease which caused .lots of trouble last year. The American Foundation for Ani mal Health says that the disease, “Blue Tongue,” affected more than 325,000 sheep in California last year. It had first appeared in West Texas in 1948, later leaping state borders to invade Utah and California. It has been a sheep problem in South Africa for more than 76 years. Blue Tongue is spread by biting in sects which become more active dur ing warm weather. It is characteriz ed by fever and lassitude at first, fol lowed by swellings and inflammation of the nose, throat, gums and tongue. Mucous membranes become bluish or purplish in color, giving the disease its name. Later, affected animals become stiff and lame. Mortality rates in this country so far have been much lower than in South Africa, where the dis ease may cause the death of 90 per cent of the affected sheep. The Foundation warned sheep rais ers to report any suspicious outbreaks of disease resembling Blue Tongue to their local veterinarian, or to state and federal authorities, so that a def inite diagnosis may be made and steps taken to prevent further spread.

Phone 413 Edenton, X. C. -SECTION ONE— J. Fox has been medical director of the hospital. Even during an epidemic, the hos pital does not use local women to as sist the overworked nurses because “lay people are not disciplined in cleanliness.” All hospital personnel take constant soap and water precau tion against the danger of transmit ting polio from direct contact with a patient or the things he has touched. Every time a nurse leaves a patient she washes her hands with soap and dries them with a clean cloth towel. Special gowns are worn while tending a patient, and a complete uniform change is required before meals. Similar precautions are observed for each hospital room, which is thor oughly scrubbed when a patient leaves. Bedding, gowns, washcloths and tow els are used only once. Special dish washing methods are employed and finished off with a live steam rinse. Such rigid cleanliness routines are not practical for every home during the polio season; Dr. Fox says, but sen sible personal cleansing habits, espe cially frequent and careful hand washing, cannot be overstressed.
