i FACTS ON MEASLES; ij
REPORT NEW CASEs
Appears to be a Slight De
cline in Number of Cases'
in County—Respect Quar
antine, Says Caldwell.
Apparently, little decline in the
number of measles eases in Cabarrus,
| which has been in the grips of u
I severe epidemic for the past month,
the Cabarrus County Health depflrfc
j inent begs the public to respect
quarantine as well as exercise pre
caution as to the places where chit-*-'
dren are permitted to frequent.-
Seventeen caises of measles were
reported Friday, increasing the nura
i ber of new case*; for the week to near
the 200 mark.
The scourge has taken from the
schools, especially the primary and'.,
grammar, a large number of pupils*;.,
many of whom have the disease bufc.,l
j a majority of whom have been ex-n.,
; posed.
Dr. D. G. Caldwell, director of tho
County Jiealth Department, explained,
| today several facts about measles and/h
also reiterated warnings \\lhich he •'
has given often lately : lie said :
“Measles is an acute contagious'
disease, ocurring mostly in children,
but is frequently in adults; Very
few people escape it, but are immund
nearly always after an attack. A
cold in the head and inflamed eyes
are usually the first symptoms noted,
and later a fever. After being expos
; ed it requires from seven to 14 days
j for the disease to develop. This is
called the incubation period.
**The rash usually breads ouj; r . (
about the fourth day after the first
symptoms appear. It is during tile
first three days when the disease ifc
I spread by the victim. Not recogni*-
! ing the symptoms as those of
les a child often does not stay at
home, spreading the germ among play
mates. For this reason The state lavV
requires a person who has been ex
posed to remain at home for a period
of 14 days. The person, who has •
1 measles, is required to stay at homo
; 14* days also, the state law says. -
I “There are many dangers in meatF" 1
1 les. The eyes often inflamed to
such an extent that the room must
| be kept dark to keep the light from
[hurting them. As severe damage tp
j the eyes may be done, they should be
I properly _ cared for. The ‘middle*,
jear may become infected and an ab-
J scess develop, resulting in a running
jear and, later deafness. Many peo->:
J pie are hard of hearing because of it
having even a mild ease of measles'.
“Croup often develops. This may
be ordinary croup, or the child may
have membranous croup. In case
set« in, by all means consul!t your
physician, as it may be necessary to
administer diphtheria antitoxin.
"The lungs are the seat of the most
dangerous complications, as bronchial
pneumonia so frequently develops, es
pecially in very small children. Ha
j bies resist pneumonia very poorly
For this reason eyery mother should
[avoid as long as possible having her
j child exposed to measles.
‘Mothers and fathers should see to
! it that their children are not allowed
to visit quarantined homes of public ,
places where the measles germ is so
easily gotten. When parents know
that their children have been exposed,
to measles they should, in respect of
other children’s lives, keep them at'
home.”
PEE DEE BRIDGE
TESTS TO START
* ON DECEMBER 18TIJ
Army Officials Ask That the
Public Co-operate by Not
Attempting to Witness the I
Destruction.
Spectators will be denied the
lege of seeing detachments of
United States army levy their „
tacks against the abandoned ; Pee Dee
River bridge between December IS
and .‘*o, according to an announce
ment from Fort Itragg.
The abandonment of this brulgq;
will prove a wonderful opportunity
to the Army to test many of their
theories and to watch the effects fei
such a concrete bridge of different
kinds of weapons, such as artillery
fire and bombs from airplanes. While
these tests will not lie secret ones,
onlookers would have to be so far
from the bridge to be safe that noth-',
ing could be seen. •
Competency and dispatch in bridge
destruction has been found of Ruch
importance in real battles that it
become a part of the Army training
course. Rarely, however, have Uncle
Sam’s men had the opportunity to
work on such a huge affair as the
j one against which they will direct t ;
their attacks during the Christmas
holiday season.
While the tests are going on it
will be necessary to close State High
way No. 74 and all county roads on
each side of the Pee Dee river to
avoid any possibility of accidents to .
passersby. During this time the War
Department requests the co-operation
j of the people in the State in keeping
! away from this localityi
The roads will be closed only while
the actual tests are going on. Some
times if will be for only an hour a
day; other days the roads will be
opened between parts of the tests,
! in order to trouble the traveling pub
lic as little as possible,
j The State Highway Commission is
i co-operating very heartily with the
Army in these tests, just .as it co
operated with the engineers in the
tests they have been making last
few months on the same bridge.
Radio and telephone will be used
to keep the road guards in touch with
! the tests, so the roads may be opened
las soon as it is safe after each*part
j of the test.
