SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. A?rU 26. 19SS Flu at Camp White Said 'Old Fashion' Type of Sickness Camp White The epidemic of mild influenza which necessi tated a quarantine at the camp was similar to the "old fashion er" flu, according to Dr. C. K: Todd, chief medical officer. The exact type of the malady, described as an "upper respira tory infection" wijl not be known until reports have been received on tests of samples of blood sent to the laboratory for analysis. The extent to which precau tions avoided the incidence of pneumonia or other complica tions may be attributed to the use of antibiotics, Dr. Todd em phasized. No Flu Deaths No deaths were found to be due to the flu, he said. The mor ale of the men during the quar antine was another factor con tributing to the success of the treatment. Members accepted the situation as a matter of routine. From a high of 150 men strick en the first week, the number has diminished to two or three cases a day, which the author ities accept as a normal number admitted to the infirmary. Credit was extended to the medical staff and nursing corps which functioned smoothly and efficiently to care for the over flow of patients.

There was a total of 159 disease cases. Eighty of the flu cases were at Camp White, compared to 150 the week before, when the epi demic necessitated a quarantine of the domiciliary.

Mem phis Jaycees breathed easier when their national president, E. Lamar Buckner of Ogden, Utah, left town.

They were still apologizing to Buckner on the drive back to town when a tire went flat. When Buckner finally reach ed his hotel, he indicated he was going straight to bed. Then they discovered the reservation had been made for the wrong night and the hotel was filled. A room for Buckner was .found in an other hotel. The next day, when Buckner started to read his speech at a Jaycee board . meeting, he was interrupted by loud crash. A huge sign in back of him, reading "Welcome Buck," had fallen off the wall.
