Influenza Increasing
In Montgomery County

Physicians are reporting that
influenza is beginning to increase
in Montgomery county. While
most cases are mild, the infection
usually begins with sudden onset
including headache, weakness,
aching in the back and legs and
chills. After a few days the patti
ent feels much better, but may
have continued weakness, often
with persistent cough, for an addi-
tional week or more.
From a health standpoint, the
important thing is to go to bed and
call a doctor as soon as the first
symptoms occur. 1t is great
mistake to try to continue on
ones feet or to depend on home
treatment without a doctors adj
vice. To avoid preventable COM
plications during the slow recovery
period the patient should not get
up or go outdoors without the doc
tors advice.
It is unfortunate that there is
not yet available any vaccine or
other preventative which will re-
duce the chances of acquiring in
fiuenza or check its spread through
a community. The only recon-
mendation of real value is that Of
treatment of the sick.

1 Might Be
Wrong--BUT|
by P. G. Stromberg:

In the whirl of world develop
ments today it is difficult to
maintain balanced thinking. It
is not only difficult but impos-
sible to be familiar with all
phases of State, National and
World problems. It is, there
fore, quite natural to follow
closely those developments which
have the most individual appeal.
Even our leaders are frequently
unfamiliar with details OF inn
portant matters. Because / know
all this to be true have ceased
to chide myself for lack of GER
tain information and, on the
other hand, indulge myself by
seeking further information on
subjects 1 like most. And,
though such frank admission
probably might seem unworthy
of one who has been taught the
virtues of tolerance and charity,
I find distinct pleasure in the
narrowing details of the march
of the British troops through
Africa at the expense of the
Italians; and in Italian reverses
in Albania. I get great kick
out of the attitude of Wendell
Willkie toward President Roose-
welt and of his visit and recep-
ton in England. ! can't help
but compare Willkie with Lind
bergh, and wonder how a man,
raised from obscurity to the
pinnacle of hero worship and
wealth by his fellow-country-
men as Lindbergh was, can
have the effrontery to assume
his present position. Even
though he be a real patriot at
heart why should he presume to
capitalize the precious position
he held against the interests of
those who made him a hero?
And we cannot dismiss his in
fluence lightly. There are many
wko will follow a hero blindly.
Like those who had Joe Louis
take the stump last fall, there
are people who think that a
champion prizefighter is good
statesman. Just because Babe
Ruth was our home run king,
did it qualify him to be Gov
ernor? Still he could get many
votes. For my part sickened
of Lindbergh long ago. His
refusal to capitalize his exploit
was followed by his marriage
to riches and his snubbing of
newspapermen, who had made
him the popular idol, proved
that he was not of the stuff
that makes lasting heroes. True,
his feat entitled him to world
fame and acclaim and he has
proven himself an expert on
aviation. But just how that
makes him statesman is beyond
me. Then he quit our shores
with apparently no intent to
return, until conditions abroad
made America a better bet, and
now advises us to steer a course
contrary to that adopted by our
elected leaders.
But back to Willkie. Was
there ever a better ambassador
Of good will? He reached his
position of national prominence
by the hard grind of years of
competitive effort and struggle.
He proved his stature as man
and as a national leader first by
capturing the Republican pomi-
nation and second by polling %
million votes. He is steadily
Strengthening his position as an
outstanding leader. His exam
pie is a tonic to young Amer
cans.

All the prolonged arguments
for and against House Bill 1776
(the Lease-Lend Billy win avail
us nothing except loss of time.
, While Pm not familiar with all
the features Of the proposed
enactment, there seems to be an
impression that the President
can even now do most Of the
things and all the Administra-
ton desires is a stamp Of APP
prevail from Congress. Why
should it be necessary to divulge
much information regarding our
military status when the only
purpose possible to serve is fur
