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.

High School Teachers
Vow Chivalry Lessons
Leesburg, Pa. (U.R) Two
pretty high school teachers vow
ed today to teach their students
"chivalry" following their ex
perience with a thief.
Betsy Jane Chambers and Bar
bara Kinard, both physical edu
cation instructors, said they in
terrupted the work of a burglar
in the school and chased him for
blocks, screaming "stop that
man" but all the men they pass
ed during the chase just stood
and stared.
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.

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.

Your rights and privileges as an
American citizen are protected by
the Constitution, a unique and
magnificent document whose
principles are as sound today as
when written, over 150 years ago.
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!
