There is no cause for alarm in connection with the highly publi cized Asiatic Flu virus, Dr. O. David Garvin, district health of ficer, indicated in a clarifying statement issued here yesterday. The situation is well under con trol, he asserted, and the health j department will not be issuing vac cine shots. Dr. Garvip’s statement: “TTtere have undoubtedly been several cases of Asiatic Flu “seed ed” about North -Carolina by this time. To date there has been no epidemic anywhere in the State that has been proven to be the Asiatic Flu Virus. There have been a number of small, localised outbreaks of influenza infections but none of these have been re ported severe nor of any conse quence to those infected, studies are being made in State Health Department Lib tories in Raleigh to determine exact nature of these sporadic breaks of influenza and until are completed we cannot know final answer. “Many rumors and highly e* gerated reports are cinnilat freely among the public that ht ho basis in fact. There is cause for alarm and any stories of., terrible nature should be im mediately squashed as pure rumor Please do not have any part in spreading such false and mislead ing information. Health authori ties have the situation well in control at the present time and the protective vaccine will soon be available through your family physicians for wide ►pread use. Watch this newspaper for an nouncements of when the vaccina shots become available. Do NOT harass your family doctor with needless phone calls until that time. “The Health Department will not be administering the vaccine shots. Th$y will be available only from your family doctors. Every one is urged to get his shot when ever the opportunity presents it self. The only persorts who should not trp to obtain the shots are those that are highly allergic to eggs as in the manufacturing pro cess there is a .minute amount of egg protein that remains in the vaccine. Otherwise tfie vaccine, is completely safe and will not in any way actually cause a person to come down with the flu.” Three Co-Captains Of Wildcat Gridders VERNON PETTY CHARLES STANLEY MASON SYKES I !

Concensus of the discussion was that a detailed inspection should be made this month, the first required under the new law.

I It was decided, however, to stqp | one reported leak and paint the fixt tures as a stopgap measure until j i4 scorned feasible to do'a thorough job. ......
