The weather has been the topic .
of conservation for several days:
around here and what with frozen
automobiles, pipes and other in
conveniences to say nothing of
the fun of putting automobile
chains off and on, it has been
something to talk about.
Dr. Bruce Porter loves it be
cause it reminds him of his native
west. J. L. Segraves says he be
lives it is good for everyone as
it will “kill bugs and other in- )
sects.” Mrs. John Reeves brought
John Kilby down town Friday
morning and remarked that this
was one snow she could enjoy >
and so could John Kilby. But
Friday’s snow was quite a con
trast to that which literally blew
pedestrians off of the face of the
earth, Saturday.

Your Tri-County
Health Dept.
By Robert R. King, Jr.
District Health Officer
Scarlet fever cases have been
present in more or less numbers
in Watauga and Ashe counties
this winter, but relatively few
cases have been reported in Alle
ghany. In the fall of 1946 there
was a great deal of the disease
around Cove Creek and Blowing
Rock. Since that time it gen
erally appears that the prepond
erance of cases has moved grad
ually from Blowing Rock toward
West Jefferson. The cases in
North Carolina are usually not as
severe as those seen in the north
ern states.
The disease takes its name from
the fact that the first visible sign
is a uniform deep red discolora
tion of the neck and chest. The
rash is continuous rather than
spotty or interrupted and spreads
over the entire body except the
face and scalp. The tongue is
often deep red, very slick, and
has minute indentions which re
semble the seeds in a strawberry
and give rise to the name “straw-

The board also voted to ask the
North Carolina delegation in Con

funds to cai ry on the school

berry tongue.” The rash is usu
: ally preceded for one or two days
i by a headache, fever, and sore
throat and is accompanied by
I fever, nausea and vomiting, and
loss of appetite. The rash usually
i fades after the sixth or seventh
day and is sometimes followed
by peeling of the skin. Compli
cations of the disease which may
occ-ur include streptococcus
throat, middle ear disease, nephri
tis, and pneumonia, and other
more serious but less f requent dis
orders.
All cases should be quarantin
ed for fourteen days after rash
breaks out. and persons who have
not had the disease and are ex
posed to a case should be quar
antined for seven days after their
last exposure.
The disease is caused in part by
the streptococcus germ but it is
also thought that a virus may be
present. There is no vaccination
against the disease, but sometimes
the blood of a person who has
recovered is given to treat a se
vere case.
Be sure to report all cases at
once to your doctor and the
Health Department.
