CALDWELL GIVES 1 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. Auxiliary to Meet. The Young Woman’s Auxiliary *o£ the First Baptist Church will meet tonight at 8 o’clock with Miss Eva Moore at her home on North Cro well Street.
