TEW KroRT (OTKSOrT) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, Wwnsfer 21, 19S8 Flu Epidemic Said Possible in Nation This Winter Washington (U.R) A lead ing medical authority said today there is a pretty fair chance the nation will have an influenza epidemic this winter. No way to tell for sure. But Dr. Dorland J. Davis said flu epidemics strike in cycles and this country is about due for an other one. If an outbreak occurs, Davis said it probably will be the rel atively mild form of influenza which figured in the epidemics of 1951 and 1953. Even so, it could bring a lot of misery to thousands of Americans. Big Trouble-Maker Davis heads the laboratory of infectious Diseases at the gov ernment's National Institutes of Health. He also is in charge of the World Health Organization's Influenza Center in the United States. Influenza is a big trouble-mak er. In its milder forms, it pro duces a general feeling of dis comfort headache, cough, four to five day fever, general ach ing and a feeling of being "all washed out." In its more serious forms, flu can lead to pneumon ia and death, especially among older people. The symptoms are similar to those found in severe colds, grippe and half a dozen other common respiratory infections, But true influenza is caused by its own family of viruses. It us ually b spotted when there has been a fairly large outbreak and experts move in to make a labor atory identification.

HANGED IN EFFIGY , Eugene '(U.R) Bud Hinkson, student body president at the University of Oregon was hang ed in effigy yesterday for not demanding a day off from classes to celebrate Oregon's 28-0 win over Oregon State last Saturday. Dr. Httrlock As We Live Cards Stacked Against ; Success of Marriage Many people have firm ideas about remarriage after divorce They aren't likely to change their ideas, even when a member of the family marries a divorced person (Q) "During the war, I fool ishly left school io marry a sol dier with whom I thought I was madly in love, Well, like most such m a i- riages, it didn't work out and we were di v o r c e d two years ago. I returned to my parent's home with my two children and have been working to support myself and the children. "I have met a man several years younger than I and we are very much in love. His parents have strict religious ideas about divorce and have refused to meet me. My friends claim ihey will get used to the idea if we marry. My parents feel I would make a serious mistake io marry man whose parents feel that way about divorce and they have urged me to break off with him. He said he would be willing lo move lo another state if I would marry him and thus get away from any complications with his family. I feel I have found real love at last and don't want to give it up just because two people have such old-fashioned ideas. Don't you think we could work out this problem successfully?" E.H. (A) It seems to me the cards are stacked so heavily against such a marriage that its chances of failure are far greater than its chances of success. After one failure, you will do well to be overly cautious before you marry again. By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. The chances that your friend'-s parents will "get used" to the idea of their son's marriage to a divorced woman are very slight. More likely, they will become bitter and resentful toward you for marrying him. Won't Solve Problem Even going to another "state will not necessarily solve the problem. The young man is not likely to be willing to cut him self off from his family for the rest of his life. Then, too, there is the practical matter of money. Can he get a job in another state that will be adequate to support you and your two children? Think of all the angles, not just your love for him, before saying "yes."

I Company Cleared in Pennsylvania Sinking Portland (U.R) States Steamship company has been ab solved of responsibility in the tragic sinking of the SS Pennsyl vania in the north Pacific some four years ago. The vessel went down west of Vancouver, B. C, with all 46 hands . and a cargo valued at more than $2,000,000. Federal Judge David Ling yesterday said that while the Pennsylvania apparently was un seaworthy, States Steamship was unaware of her unseaworthiness and could not be held responsi ble for the sinking. "Just what latent defects in hull or equipment were respon sible for the disaster cannot be determined with certainty," the judge declared. Attorneys for the claimants, interested in recovering the val ue of cargo lost, indicated the ruling would be appealed. Among the claimants was the United States government, which owned more than half of the cargo.

Through the years, amendments have been added to keep the Con stitution up-to-date. The same is true of the regula tory powers of the Interstate Com merce Commission. Congress has enacted more than 150 amend ments to the Interstate Commerce Act since it was passed in 1887, completely overhauling it twice. In principle, present ICC regu lations governing the various transportation systems are perti nent, constructive, and modern in concept. Under these principles, we have developed the greatest competitive transportation system in the world! m ntucHiEifl itmu&swM AMERICAN TRUCKING ASSOCIATIONS, INC, WASHINGTON 6, D.- .
