Tucker and Durwood S. Stal lings, Jr. admit they have seen a lot of colds but not too much of the flu bug. Dr. Stallings said he hasn’t seen any Asian type flu, but he has doc tored the A and B types of in fluenza. Dr. Thomas said he hasn’t seen too much flu but a lot of colds. He said it is hard to differentiate between the old fashioned and Asian influenza without a battery of blood tests. Dr. Tucker said he hasn’t seen too much flu, and that that he has seen he doesn’t think there was any of the Asian type. He, too, said it is hard to tell the difference be tween the two without blood tests. Asian flu was felt here two years ago, and caused quite a number of serious and wide-spread ill nesses. The local doctors declare there is no influenza epidemic. Absenteeism from contagious di seases has been “considerably higher in the last couple of months” at Wakelon School, Prin cipal John J.
