Martin Continued From Page 4-A der to South Carolina (or Vir ginia or Georgia) to help their schools - when we need the money here for our own chil dren?” t It has been hard enough for North Carolina to resist the lot tery. with only Virginia and Georgia selling tickets to our citizens. With South Carolina joining the lottery states, we will be almost surrounded - and without the strength to resist. I still think the lottery is an inappropriate enterprise for government. In my mind, the government should be promot ing civic virtue and staying out of businesses that private en terprise can manage. And the lottery cuts against both of those strong beliefs. A lottery is socialism at its worst - an unnecessary gov ernment monopoly. And, at a time when our gov ernment should be nurturing civic virtue, its promotion and sale of lottery tickets will have it doing just the opposite. I hope I am wrong. But the recent election - in South Caro lina - probably means the end of the line for the fight against the lottery in our state. Coffey Continued From Page 4-A hard on young people,” said Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger, di rector of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Only in 1997 was “the genetic code of the virus” cracked, from a sample in the Institute at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The strain known as Spanish influenza is a “never since seen flu bug” that appar ently began as avian flu, was passed to pigs, then jumped to humans, according to The News and Observer in 1997. Today, the Food and Drug Administration, the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization monitor a “far-flung international sur veillance network” to identify every mutation of flu virus. Vaccines are then created to protect us against the strains that appear most prevalent in a given year. “With luck, we’ll be able to anticipate the next Span ish flu before it does much dam age,” Gladwell predicted. By early 1919, Spanish influ enza had run its course and disappeared. But get your flu shot, just in case it - or another— deadly strain - emerges.
