Garvin, district health offi cer. Doctors in this area report that many people have had mild illnesses similar to colds or influenza but as stated none of these have been de finitely proven as Asiatic Flu. This is not surprising in as much as an accurate diagnosis is difficult to make and the Flu has been mild in all cases in this county to date. Except for one or two deaths in weakened Individuals over 30,000 people have had the Flu without -serious; complications, We can hopc that this situation will continue but cannot depend upon the Flu to re main so mild. For this reason, in spite of some articles to the con trary from other sources, your District Health Department is still urging everyone to obtain the flu vaccine when available from family physicians. The arrival of cold weather and its seasonal increase in respiratory illnesses could change the whole picture drastically. The District Health Department has had a number of inquiries on the part of individuals i$nd groups concerning the availability of the vaccine and the methods of ob taining the shots. We would like to announce again that the District Health Department of Orange, Per son, Chatham, Lee and Caswell Counties will not be administering the vaccine at any time. Individuals and groups of people desiring the flu shots should contact one of the private- -physicians—In-the-area ~-to~ tnake all arrangements for the shots. - Some physicians in our five coun ties have received small shipment^ of the vaccine and within the next several weks they will probably have considerably more of the vac cine available. 100 Are Drawn For Jury Duty Next 2 Weeks A two-weeks term of Superior [Court for the trial of civil cases begin Monday in the Orange Tlnunty aourtBouse^ wlfh ' Judge Clawson Williams of Sanford pre siding.

Farmers Warned Of The Menace Of 'Bitterweed' On Road Sides -A. B. Lloyd. Efland dairy farm er, yesterday called on farmers throughout it he county to be wary of the considerable amount of "bittepweed" growing on and near highway shoulders in vari ous parts of the county. He said the weed, small yel low bloom, is highly contagious, spreads easily through fields and pastures, and is being carried throughout the county inadvert ently by highway equipment work ing on shoulders of the roads and otherwise. He said the weed when eaten by cows flavors the milk to a greater extent than wild onions and will play havoc with the dairying industry of the county unless checked. He said the spread of seeds of this noxious weed could ruin a farm in short order. Mr. Lloyd recently called the ! attention of County Agent Don 1 Matheson to the menace and the county agent has notified the highway department. Said Mr. Matheson: “1 have ! noticed this Bitterweed on many highway shoulders all over- the county, and I am sure that you | will agree (he told the highway > department > that it could be a j source ol serious spread of the j noxious weed to our dairy pas- ! tures. Have you considered th£ feasibility of spraying these Bit terweed patches with 2-4-D? “Our department will be happy to cooperate with you in point ing out these heavy infestations and also in keeping tab on any contcol measurers which you might you might see fit to use.” s ^ MONROE KNIGHT . . . p’wnflc for yardage as Wildcat halfback Game Of Yeqr A fighting Hillsboro High foot ball tsam, showing marked im provement over its opertffig en counter, came back strong after intermission last FTidSy night to come from behind and defeat Northern High cf Durhahi 13-6 on the outstanding, running of half backs Charles Stanley and Mon roe Knight.
