Two deaths in the state have been reported already this year with the season barely begun. There were two deaths last year out of the 39 reported cases. "Spotted Fever", sometimes referred to as "Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever" because of its original diagnosis in the Rocky Mountain states, is often mis judged as measles or German measles. It is an acute comm unicable disease characterized by fever, headache, muscle pains and a rash. The rash generally begins on the hands and feet and rapidly progresses to cover the entire body. In severe untreated cases, delirimj convulsions and death may occuc The organism that causes this disease (Rickettsia) is very si milar to a virus and is transmit ted by the bite of the dog ' tick.

The stage adaptation of the great poem is a tribute both to Masters and the theatre. The disease is most common on the eastern seaboard, especially in North Carolina, Virginia,Ma ryland and Tennessee. The lar gest percentage of cases occur in the months from July to Sep tember when the ticks are most prevalent and when people spend more time out of doors. Almost three-fourtlis of the cases are in pre-school and school age chil dren. In calling attention to the seriousness of this disease, the following practical preventive suggestions are given: (1) Parents should examine their children ht least once a day for ticks. If the ticks are present, theystouH be removed gently with tweezers or forceps so that the head cf the tick does not remain im bedded. (2) Dog owners should remove all ticks from their dogs each day, (3) The possibility of "Spotted Fever" should be kept in mind whenever a person complains of a rash and feier In the summer months. Antibiotic treatment is effective if institu ted early. run bringing the score to 11- 6, in favor of the Jaycees. The Jaycees now have a 6 and 2 won and lost record. [ Record Observes Holiday"! In accordance with President Nixon's proclamation the I Yancey Record will be closed next Monday, giving its 1 employees a holiday to commemorate the U. S. Astronaut# I some flags out on July 21st] Ntaktr foty-Fiva As the viewer enters the pfey liouse, the Spoon River Ceme tery lies before him, quiet,still and calm. The house lights dim as the Parkway company enters the stage and begins to tell of Spoon liver. Via musical interludes, we are introduced in a cemetery to ghosts of former inhabitants of Spoon River who have carri e d secrets with them to the grave. Over 60 characterizations are presented by a group of eight actors and two singeis in this play, which is an achievement worthy of note. Some of the vignettes are humorous, some tragic, and some sordid.... All of the players showed themsdLvs remarkably capable of bring ing different emotions to each of their parts. Throughout the evening there are lovely ballads and of course the free verse form of Masters. I was completely captivated by the ballads performed by Ellen T. Leeds and Mike Dyet This young couple sat togeth e r just off the stage and enthralled the audience every time they sang. Miss Leed's voice is unique and moving with its cfer ity and range. lam I>o k i n<• forward to hearing more from this exciting team in future Playhouse productions. Other cart members include Barbara Wolff, Mike Coyne, Ca rol Drccssen, Tom Bates, Bob Leh, Nelson Allison, Marta Schley and Genni Jennings. Maynard French of Greens- * borp, N. C. directed the show. The pacing of the production is effective, moving nicely from one vignette to the next. Frank Silberrtein has designed a very simple yet very attractive and useful set and along with Boyd OstrofPs fine lighting, they create the perfect mood for Spoon River. The next production at the Parkway Playhouse is THE MISER by Moliere. I hope it will provide as entertaining an evening as Spoon River Antho - logy.
