No Definite Cases Of Asiatic
Flu In This Area, Garvin Savs
There have not been, any defini.'e
cases of Asiatic FJn reported in
our five counties, according to Dr.
O. y. 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.

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
