Disease Is Still on Increase in Piedmont and 'West ern Sections MILLS HIT HARD I America's Honor List RALEIGH, N. C, Oct. 19. "Worse than ever," was the estimate this evening by Dr. W. S. Rankin, of the North Carolina situation In the In fluensa epidemic. Conditions in num bers of eastern towns have grown worse and the disease Is much on the Increase In the Piedmont and western sections. Worst conditions are In out ton mill localities where operatives are being hit hard, and have to be I taken car of by emergency doctors : Herman NEW BRIDGE BAPTIST CHURCH contribution: and nurses. for doctors thirty each day with comparatively none In sight to meet the new calls. A typical Illustration of the altua- tlan Dr. Rankin says, is the case of a physician sent from King? Mountain to Board man, near Wilmington, in which the Kings Mountain people In sisted that, having nearly one thou sand cases, their doctor should be re turned. Boardman protested that numbers of desperate cases of pneu monia and no other doctor made it impossible to release the doctor. Then in the midst of this contest over the doctor came word this morning that he is in bed with the disease. 1 An important change In Ralelefi banking circles le the resignation of E. C.

In the pres ent emergency caused by the influ ensa epidemic, when so many calls are coming from all sections of the state for nurses, the state board of health calls attention to the gross sel fishness and Inhumanity of those people who insist upon having private nurses, even sometime In cases where the service of a trained nurse are secured only as a matter of con venience. 'The following letter from a minis ter of the etate Is a, typical example of some of the protests being received by the board of health: Mlnlatcr'a Letter. "Yesterday I went to a home where a man has been somewhat elck with stomach trouble some time to get his nurse for a family where there were three persons In bed and some of them real alck with Influensa. The man absolutely refused to give up hie nuise until next week, even though he was able to sit up and hie sister was la the kitchen getting dinner. I ale know of other eases where nurses art being held by people who could get along very well without on. In this time of distress it seems to me to be a crime for people to be so seinsn. I am Just wondering if a statement from you urging people not to hold nurses unless they were absolutely necessary would not help to create sentiment.

One report was to the effect that a private family was holding a nurse by paying seventy-fire dollars weekly when the nurse was badly needed for community work. Rankin DIhcussoh Matter. Discussing the matter today. Dr. W. 8. Rankin, state health officer, point ed out that the eeriouaneee of the epl demio oan hardly be oveiytated. It has cost the live of more citizen of Wilmington already than the total number of North Carolinians report ed killed in th battlea In Franca Fifty-five deaths had been reported in Raleigh to Wednesday morning. Oas tonla reported twenty deaths on Wednesday. Conditions m th three place mentioned are typical. Urg ing, that all available nureea be re leased for community work. Dr. Rankin said: "The state board of health has this afternoon pressing calls for twenty live nurses who. are urgently needed In different parts of the state. Every one of theee sail could be filled if two things wer done. First, if the hospitals of the state would release as manv a-raduata and senior nurses as jfosslble, cutting their fortes to the very lowest point consistent with the safety of their work. Second, if every nurse employed exclusively on a private oas hould be released for community work. Utter SdOsnness. "At this time, when our people are dying. It is inconceivable to my mind that any person should be so utterly selfish as to Insist upon the services of a private nurse, regardless of the price such person may be able and willing to pay, unless the case be one nf a desperate nature. Even then, a trained nurse released for community work could direct nurses' aids, and be of infinitely more value In saving Uvea As a patriotic measure no nurse who is proud of the uniform which she wears should aocept private service during the present emergen cy." i The state board of health has sa- vertieed in the leading newspapers of the state for nurses at nve dollars a day and expenses. The responses have been distressingly few. The board today takes off the limit It asks any nurse in North Carolina who wilt undertake work right now when so badly needed to telegraph the state board of health how much money it will take to seoure her ser vices.
