State Health Board Recommends Shota For Asian Flu Defense You'd better get your annual flu shots and take special care of your health during the next few weeks That was the advice Friday of the state board of health after the department’s disease control ex perts had finished reviewing in fluenza reports from Oregon and the rest of the nation. Although reported Oregon in fluenza increased 28.5 per cent last week, from 617 to 793 cases, the disease still is "about at nor mal seasonal levels,” according to the health board. None of the reports so far in dicate that the epidemic which has struck an estimated half-mil lion persons in the Los Angeles area the past few days has yet Students Given Study In Alaska TIMBER ROUTE — Don Sie- delman was one of three students chosen from Oregon State col lege to go to Alaska next month to work and study with Federal wildlife conservation.

However, Dr. Richard H. Wil- cox, state health officer, warned that there is "a strong possibility” that the disease could become epi demic here within the next few weeks. Flu outbreaks have been noted recently in several other parts of the country, and Dr. Wil cox said the flu virus could be transported quickly to all parts of Oregon by travelers. (The U. S. Public Health Ser vice already has attributed sever al of the outbreaks to Asian influ enza, the same disease given most of the blame for Oregon's epi demic of more than 47,000 cases two years ago. Flu shots were recommended as the best defense against the dis ease, and Dr. Wilcox especially urged them for the very young or old persons, pregnant women, or persons already weakened by some other illness. One shot gives protection to most older children and adults, although the health officer re commended a second shot three to four months after the first. The immunity does not carry over from one year to another, and the shots do not become effective until 10-14 days after vaccina tion. Dr. Wilcox also recommended maintenance of good personal health habits, including plenty of rest, a well-balanced diet, clean liness. and avoidance of fatigue and chilling. Because influenza is dangerous chiefly as a result of secondary infections such as pneumonia, the health officer urged that anyone becoming ill with suspected flu call a physician promptly. Symptoms of Asian flu are the same as those of other types. They include sudden onset of illness, often similar to a severe cold, fev er up to 104 degrees, chills, sore throat, cough and muscular aches The Knotty Knitting 4-H club I met at the home of Cheryl De- j vine on Tuesday, January 12.
