All the others were attributed f nthor muse, but ac- cording to the report they were brought on or complicated by the flu attack This is the reason a family physician quite often will rec ommend flu shots only for cer tain people, who in his opinion are in a high risk category. They might be suffering from heart disease or any number of other ailments, which could make an attack of flu serious or even dangerous. This also helps explain why health authorities frequently will make the statement that they are not so worried by flu itself during an epidemic, but they are very concerned about the complications which flu may produce in a person already weakened from some chronic ailment. Similarly, flu itself might produce the weakening which would leave a person open to some more serious ailment he never before had experienced. Although any person might be advised to obtain annual flu shots, most physicians make strong recommendations only in the case of elderly persons, preg nant women and people suffer ing from heart disease, chronic broncho-pulmonary illness such as asthma or emphysema, or some other ailments such as diabetes, the health department stated. Although a few people car.not receive these shots because of allergy to eggs used in manu facture of the vaccine, the Im munization by and large is a c.r. and reasonably-effective weapon in our fight against the. still serious tnreai oi uu. many hunter hat iiwaJ their rolling stuck Into favorite areas.

Since the authorization to enter Into new contracts has not been extended beyond 1960, there will be no signup this fall. "Farmers should understand, however, that the existing con tracts for 1960 and previous years will remain In effect and payments will continue to oe made under them for the period of the contracts and in accor dance with contract terms. The annual Department of Agricul ture appropriation bills provide money with which to meet obli gations already on the books."
