SVSVMy ' f: Sunday was quite an unusual dayir the city with no Sunday school and church services. . - '.: The Board of Health met Monday and made an orde- to the effect that schools and churches, shows, etc be closed through-October 19. The situation in Henderson county is not serious and It is confidently bev lieved that the trouble will have done its biggest -worV.by the 19th. There are a number of cases of in fluenza in the county but thus far the fear is understood to be greater than the trouble. People are caution d to exercise pre caution and the following instructions are given for their benefit: lMce From the State Board of Health The North Carolina State Board of Health has issued the following official statement on the epidemic of .Influenza that is sweeping over the State: , "The State of North Carolina is in the grip of an epidemic of grippe.' The disease is invading the State "from many quarters, as It prevails through out the UiiftedJ5tat.33:::but. -thf'rln. opal lines of invasion-seem jjo be from the seaports of Wilmington -and Jor-. folk. Already the disease has appear ed over the entire State, being ' very prevalent in the East and having es-. tablished itself in a number of centers in the West. The indications are that within another week It will be gener ally prevalent throughout the State. ' "The disease started in Spain in May this year, involving 30 per cent of the population of that country within a thort time. Already, the disease has invaded and practically passed thru Europe. The rapidity with which it travels and the large per cent of the population involved indicate' (1) the exceptionally contagious nature of the disease, and (2) that with it public health measures have Tittle " influence. The only good fortune attending the present epidemic in North Carolina is that it will probably exhaust its sup ply of susceptible before Its dangerous ally, pneumonia, arrives in force in December, January and February. : "The disease is due to spit swapp ing. Spit is swapped or exchanged in the following ways: ; ' (a). By coughing, or sneezing izilc tte cir instead of into a iiandlcerchie'-i In open coughing or sneezing, an in fectious and invisible spray is throwr-. several yards into the air and floats for thirty to sixty minutes! The greas ier the spraying, as in ..the , psychic "vraves or;oughing that pass through assemblages, moving picture shows, churches, and other gatherings, the denser and more potent the infection? atmosphere. (b). By soiling the hands with spit (very small, invisible amounts) ' : and fansferring the spit to the hands of pother person in handclasps, tor 1 by mdling something as a door knob or 2ie article from whicn a second per- sin gets the minutest amount of spil.

By using common drinking fl'tpers, common drinking cups, and common spit-infected .water frorV "a common bucket. - . By using anything OTHER THAN paper cups, ice cream saucers, spoons disinfected in VISIBLY .boil--!ng vater at soda fountains.

It Is hundred per cent citizenship thai counts, and the hundred per cent mem bership ,that counts,1 and we want every citizen and every member this year to count 6ne hundred per cent. It's a time when co-operation and unity is demanded for the good of Asheville, and the good of Our Coun try. . Asheville needs the best thought of her best men at this time, and the best co-operative effort at the same time. The Asheville Board of Trade is the one ' organization where that thought and that work of all her citi zens can be centered. It already has the hearty and sincere co-operation of various class organizations which has been a mighty factor in bringing such fine results the past year, and which the Board appreciates fully. ; Every member of' the Asheville Board of Trade owes it as a duty to shoulder the burdens his membership implies and do his share in the work of the organization. Jt is harjdly fair to" leave all the work-to a ;few and yet realize the splendid benefits which ac crue from the work of the few. How ever, there are those who cannot give time, pr much time1, to this work. Such members will be ' glad to, no doubt, and 'many of them do, carry plura: memberships which makes for greater accomplishments. "When a questionnaire is sent out soon asking what kind of work you are in terested in, and the time you will give to some phase of the work in which you may be interested, don't hesitate, but check off the divisions in which you will serve and return promptly to the office and "get in harness." At tend the meetings and give the officers and directors; . and the - various com munities the benefit' of your thoughts and suggestions. Much of thejwork accomplished the past year has been at the suggestion of various members. For instance, the suggestion or idea which resulted in- bringing $6,100 worth of Holstein cows to Asheville was given by Charlie. Carter of erdain.
