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.
Influenza Leads
List of Diseases
Influenza, with 117 cases re
ported last week, continued to
lead the list of communicable
diseases in the county, accord
ing to the public health depart
ment. 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. The quaran
tine was lifted last week. The
ether flu cases included 16 in
Mediord, 12 in Ashland and
smaller numbers in Talent, Gold
Hill and Rogue River.
There were single cases of in
fectious mononucleosis, infec
tious hepatitis and tuberculosis.
Other cases listed included 27

Jaycees Embarrassed
In Greeting President
Memphis, Tenn. U. Mem
phis Jaycees breathed easier
when their national president,
E. Lamar Buckner of Ogden,
Utah, left town.
The effort of Junior Chamber
of Commerce leaders to give
Buckner the red carpet treat
ment, turned into a comedy of
embarrassing errors.
Tnomas O'Brien and William
Wolfe were to meet Buckner's
plane at 11:30 p.m. At 10:15 they
telephoned the .airport to see if
it was on time. The plane had
already arrived. 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.
