WARREN, N. C., FRIDAY,
DOCTOR EXPLAINS
WAY10 FIGHT FLl
Laughinghouse Says Schools
Of State Should Open ReGardless
of Disease
EXPECTED TO BE WORSE
RALEIGH, Jan. 2.?"Open th(
schools in North Carolina after th<
holidays, in spite of the flu," Dr
C.O'H. Laughinghouse, State healtt
officer, said early this week in commenting
on the influenza situation
"Children should be sent home frorr
school, of course, as soon as fever i:
evidenced, and they should be put
to bed. But close contacts are unavoidable,
whether in school or out
And it is better for children to be
in school under supervision, than oul
of school without supervision."
In giving advice to adults with reard
to influenza, Dr. Laughinghouse
said:
"Take tne flu lying down. Call the
doctor and keep calm.
"The surest single means of preventing
serious cases of Influenza k
co go to bed the moment colds
aching and fever, develop. Thie
protects the individual from pneumonia
and other complications, and
it also protects the public against
contacts."
About a weetc agq Dr. Laughlngnoisc
predicted thit despite the
apparent lull and decrease in the
number of cases of influenza, that
he expected the epedunic to increase
steadily and not reach itc
peak until the middle of January
This view of the situation seems tc
be borne out by the increase in the
number of influenza cases during
the past week.
"We are forced to place our main
reliance in this epidemic upon the
co-operation of nature with our
individual common sense," Dr,
Laughinghouse states further. "Nature
will do its part. We can help,
first, by avoiding infection, and
second, by not requiring nature to
attend to our business, our pleasure
and our flu, a'l at the same
tithe. n * ' '"
"If you havfe flu, go to 'bed and
let restorative forces of your body
center themselves on your owri
personal fight against flu. Never hi
a sure sign that the fight is on.
Begin the fight early, but fight
lyin down. Use common-sense
methods in the fight against flu.
Be a sport?don't give it to others.
"If you have flu, your family,
your friends, your customers and
che public generally will feel grateful
to you if you stay at home and
go to bed.
"Flu hits over tired people. It
strikes where resistence is low
through lack of sleep and overwork.
It may not be easy to cut
down on work or pleasure, but it
is easier than having flu. Self-sacri
fice pays."
The final eppigrammatic directions
given by Dr. Laughinghouse
with regard to the flu, are as follows:
"Avoid crowds.
"Stay out of doors as much as
possible.
"Keep away from people who
:ough and sneeze.
"Wash your nostrial out well
;very morning.
"Wash your hands before eating.
"Use plenty of water inside and
)Ut.
"If you take flu, take it lying
iown.
"Take flu to bed witn you until
pou conquer it.
"Take no medicine except that
idvised by your doctor."

, Plane Soars In An
Effort To Establish
! Endurance Record
METROPOLITAN AIRPORT, Los
i Angeles, Jan. 2?Confident that a
: new world's record would be the
answer to the endurance flight of
the army monoplane Question Mark
was officially expressed today by
air corns officials as the big plane
continued to soar over Southern
, Caifornia on its second twenty-four
, hour period in the air.
i Army men said the most decisive
part of the endurance attempt had
, passed when the plane completed
the first twenty-four hours of
flight at 7:26 o'clock this morning.
: The recent refueling endurance
mark is 60 hours and 7 minutes, established
in Belgian.
"Just before they left the ground,"
said H. J. Adamson, representing
F. Trubee Davison, Assistant Secretary
of War, "Major Spatz and
Captain Ira C. Eaker, chief pilot,
said that in the first twenty-four
hours any weakness would be sure
to unmask itself."
The emergency refueling plane
number two, piloted by Lieut. Odas
Moon, today was ordered from its
Imperial Airport Station back to
Metropolitan Airport. This was
upon a message request by Major
Satz. He doubted the practicability
of crossing the mountains to Imperial
Valley.
A complete change of routine
aboard the Question Mark has been i
made inasmuch as it has been de-'
termined that it will be necessary (
to refuel at night.
"Evidently the ship is consuming
much more gasoline with its
I heavy load of men, fuel and supI
nlies than had been anticipated,"
Adamson said.
Joseph Nikrent, representing the |
National Aeronautic Association, i
and official observer, announced :
that the official starting time would ]

"Never before have we been
thrilled with the delight of having
so many presents given, to gladden
the hearts of our children, in keeping

packages of nuts, fruit and candy
distributed to the children, and in
many cases to grown ups, we were
vividly reminded of the unselfish
gifts of our Heavenly Father,
"Never before has there been, in
Warren County, such a wonderful
demonstration of racial good-will.
"The beautiful display of fireworks
were enjoyed quite as much
by the parents as by the children.
