Flu Questions
By
DR. W. S. CANN
We have haen asked many
questions about Influenza lately,
i Let me say, first, influenza is
j not a reportable disease so we
have no correct figures as to the
I number of influenza cases in the
Health District.
Second, it is a rather long comp
licated test to determine influenza
and especially the types (Asian,
etc.) These reports arrive usually
after the "flu" is well established
and spreading
Now we have no reports of a sud
den large increase of absentee
ism from the schools. We do know
there are lots of acute upper res
piratory infections in the district
but no evidence of any great in
crease over the years. These ap
pear to be the usual colds, sore
throats, etc.
With influenza being reported in
near-by state's and this state we
do recommend vaccine protection
for people in key position's, the
aged and the chronacilly ill. How
ever, because of so little informa
tion as to type < Asian i we would
have to recommend a combina
tion of both Asian and Polivalent
vaccince given by the patient's
own doctor as he or she recom
mends it.
We would like to stress an im
portant fact of influenza and that
is, it leaves the patient exhausted.
Now for years it has been found
in polio outbreaks that 4 factors
either alone or in combination
play a big part in producing the
! disease.
1. Excessive Fatigue 'Past flu >
2. Oral Operations i Tonsils and
I Adenoids, etc.)
1 3. All vaccinations are stopped
with the outbreak of Polio.
4. Pregancies.
Thus, while you are thinking of
"Flu" don't forget Polio. You
youngsters 40 years and younger
protect yourselves with Salk Vac
cine.

Civil Air Patrol
Announces New
Area '60 Roster
The Civil Air Patrol is a feder
ally chartered, volunteer organiza
tion and an auxiliary of the United
States Air Force. Aside from as
signed Air Force personnel, its
membership consists entirely of
unpaid civilian volunteers with
their own officers and chain of
command. The organization main
tains membership units through
out the United States and its Ter
ritories, similar to that of the Air
Force. There are 52 wings, one
for each state and territory. These
are further broken down into
groups and/or squadrons.
The Civil Air Patrol was first
organized on December ], 1941.
to give wings to the nation's civil
defense efforts as an agency of
the Office of Civil Defense. It
played an heroic role in antisub-l
marine patrol off the Atlantic and
Carribbean coasts in the early
days of World War 11. As a result,
the Civil Air Patrol was trans
ferred to the War Department
early in the war. In 1946. the 79th
Congress passed Public Law 476.
an Act to incorporate the Civil
Air Patrol, and which gave au
thority for CAP to adopt a con
stitution and by-laws. The 80th
Congress, in 1948. passed Public
Law 557 establishing Civil Air Pa
trol as an official auxiliary of the
United States Air Force.
What is the mission of civil air
patrol?
Broadly stated, the missions and t
objectives o ( Civil Air Patrol Air:
Patrol are: '
1. To develop an air-minded i
citizenry and thereby help main- ,
tain America supreme in civil as '
well as military aviation through
an effective program of aviation j

2. To develop a pool of person- <
nel. including 100.000 cadets, train- t
ed in the fundamentals of avia- j
tion.

ate a national and territory-wide 1
radio net to insure communica
tions at all times of emergencies j
and disasters.

Murphy Football Teams
Hold Annual Banquet
By JOHN JORDAN
It was quite an affair last Satur
day night, January 30, when
approximately ninety boys who
played midget and mit? football
Last season, and their dads met
at the Regal Hotel for their an
nual banquet. Paul Nave pre
pared some very delicious bar
beque chicken, which the boys
enjoyed very much. The arrange
ments and hotel facilities were do
nated by Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Seamon. Also the hotel donated
each person with a large ice
cream football to finish off the
meal.
The banquet was given in honor
of the little boys who played mid
get and mite football here la
Murphy last season. This was their
first season with this type of
sport and there were four teams
who worked very hard each day.
These teams played each other
before the regular high school
football games and made two
or three trips to neighboring
towns for games.
The man responsible for this
program is Senator Frank For
syth. 'or jretrs tka peeple
of Mar p a y hav? waa tad
such a program for the younger
boys Not only does such a pro
but it helps prepare them for
their high school football and life
in general. It teaches them many
things not found in their regular
text books. Mr. Forsyth saw
this need and went into action.
In just a short time and through
the facilities of Radio Station
WKRK. enough money was realiz
ed by donations from interested
people and firms to buy a com-'
plete uniform for each boy who
wanted to play ball. No boy was
left out and no boy had to spend
any money on his uniform. Some
of the boys did buy (hoes which
were optional.
Mr. Forysth stressed the wonder'
ful spirit of the players and ex-!
pressed his thanks of appreciat
ion to those people who made
the program possible, particularly
Harold Wells and Jack Lunsford,
who helped coach the teams,
John Jordan and Hollan McSwain
of Murphy High School for as
sistance in training the teams.
Paul Ridenhour and staff of Radio
Station WKRK for assist
ance with the drive and other pub
licity. and many many other
people for a great deal of time,
energy, and money, in order to
bring this program about. Mr.
Forsyth stated (hat he was look
ing forward to another good sea
son with the boys.
Joe Ray acted as master of
ceremonies for the ?occasion. He
tald several good stories and
made several remarks that the
boys should always remember.
The speaker for the evening was
Coach Ralph McConnell from the
Murphy High School staff. He
pointed out that be was for the
little football team aU the way
and that If a boy wanted to play
football, regardless of site, that
there would be a place tor
the Murphy High team. Be
ed further that a |*agtaaa a I
