HELP WANTED FOR NEEDY
INFLUENZA SUFFERERS
It is the belief that there is a
lot of hardship existing in the
city in homes where the influenza
epidemic has stricken down sever
al members of the fumily. rt Is
the sincere desire of the able peo
ple here to help those w ho are not
able to care for themselves or
render proper aid to their sick,
but they are handicapped to a
great extent by luck of knowledge
regarding places in which they
might carry on their work of
love and mercy.
The local advisory war board
has directed its attention to this
matter and today issued the fol
lowing appeal to the captains in
the ninety-one divisions into which
the city is divided:

its merits.

.there are a hundred cases to one
in Oregon. I was in San Diego, for
there Is less of it there than else
where In California. Dr. Molltor,
formerly of La Grande, assured it
was subsiding nnd it If. probably due
to the masks which are religiously
worn by all the people ot San Dlego.

( Alii) OF THANKS
La Grande is in a state of un
rest and dissatisfaction over the
closing program which the city has
been under nnd which may again
be adopted. While it is true the
recommendation of Stute Health
Officer Secley and the recommen
dation of La'Graiule physicians as
well, was not heeded, yet it ii
doubtful if drastic retaliatory
measures are justifiable. In uny
event the people ' should not let
hate nor mniico nor former per
sonal grudges enter into what
they do in a public way.
The welfare of La Grande und
community is the thing to consid
er. That public health conies first
there is not shadow of doubt, but
wisdom should prompt reasonable
action by those in authority and
ithnt wisdom can be obtained from
honorable advisors who have al
ready spoken. This being true, it
is sheer folly to attempt to put
over restrictions which learned
professional men say are unneces
sary nnd useless, especially when
those restrictions keep the city in
the atmosphere of uncertainty as
to whether business districts will
be opened or closed at the will and
desire of a. single person or a few
persons.
What La Grande needs is unity
of purpose and the way to get that
is through sincere ei'lort along
sane lines, eliniinnting all heated
conversation and revengeful talk.

informed, however, that such was not
