ently his skill developed rapid ly and the urge to become a really great player became inn portant. He spent long hours on the courts, coaxed profes- sionals for lessons, entered tour naments and was beaten, prac- tised some more and entered other tournaments. Then, while in college, he took a match from Schroeder and felt that he was on the way. The war came along and he found him self in the army and, after a year in the ranks, he made O.. e. s. He was commissioned and sent to the South Pacific with an infantry outfit. In an oper- ation on Moratai a Japanese grenade exploded too close and he went home from work that night on stretcher. In the hospital it was found that the shrapnel in left side had done no permanent injury, but his right knee pained, and he had not been hit there. After ship ping from hospital to hospital for month, a doctor on Leyte discovered that the knee cap was shattered and performed an operation. The pain eased but the leg action was not complete ly normal and his tennis career was probably over. He wanted badly to get home to good doc tors and hospitals.
 For six months we lived to- gether, shared boxing matches, shows, ball games, and poked into native Batangas. We drank warm, canned beer, opened with studied technique to avoid the splash. There were evenings that we lay on our cots and watched the sunset and when the lush pageant of rich, tropical color across the western sky be- came almost unbearable in it's intense beauty, one of us might say, Let's go, my jeep is out side. And, without comment or question, the other would fol- low to vehicle headed for the, road through the filth of wars devastation and past the docks, to drive slowly along the beach and watch the last rays of the glorious setting sun drop into the Pacific.

HEALTH FOR ALL
 Influenza

world Ill 1918, bringing tragedy to many homes in the period just after the first world war. Some of us remember that many people we knew died of the "fu" and that the epidemic killed more people than the war itself. Influenza is apt to oc- cur in epidemics because it makes a periodic return, in cy- cles of years, and spreads very quickly. The average incuba- tion period is only two days.
 Scientists predicted 8 high incidence of influenza this win ter because the cycles of past epidemics, both major and mi nor, pointed to such a develop ment. Although epidemics of major diseases do tend to occur in cycles, predictions based on such cycles are by no means exact.
 Influenza is caused by a virus, a germ too small to be seen by an ordinary microscope. The infuenza virus attacks the lin- ing cells of the nose and throat. The disease usually starts with moderate fever, headache, gen. eral pains and marked prostra- tion, which may be accompan- jed by sore throat or symp- toms of an ordinary cold. It is sometimes complicated by pneu- monia, bronchitis, or pleurisy and empyema.
 Since influenza is so highly infectious, and comes on so sud denly, it is wise to isolate the patient as soon as possible. Old people especially should be guarded against any contact with anyone who has influenza, since they are less likely to sur vive the disease than younger people. Children should also be carefully protected, since they seem more susceptible to the di- sease than adults.
 l Although the course of infu- enza itself is brief, convales- cence takes a long time, some times week or months. To pre- vent the possibility of a relapse with all it's complications, pa tients are kept in bed for some weeks after the fever has dis appeared. Because a feeling of emotional depression is one of the inevitable aftermaths of the disease, pleasant surroundings are essential to compete recov- cry.
 The ''fu'' epidemic predicted for this winter was less severe than the 1918 one. This may be due i'll part to the recent de velopment of a vaccine-an i'm munizing agent produced by in Ijecting influenza virus into chick embryos. The vaccine is of course, a preventive measure not a cure, and is effective only if taken before one gets the dis ease.
 | Your family doctor is the best Judge of whether you should have the influenza vaccine. Be cause he knows, your general

People From Laurel
Encounter Moose On
Road Near Red Lodge

During the 13 years Nh. and Mrs
T. w. Everett have been going to
their summer home seven miles be-
yond Red Lodge, on the road to
Camp Sonia, they have frequently
seen elk, deer and bear, either along
the road or in the immediate vicin-
ity of the cabin. 1t has always been
a pleasure to see the animals of
the mountains and forest, although
the bears are not encouraged to re-
main.
A few days ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Everett and their daughter, Mrs. H.
r. Finley and her two sons were
nearing the Everett cabin when they
saw two moose in the timber which
the mountain road ~traverses. The
moose were startled. One crossed
the road Immediately in front of the
car and the other, after bounding
into the road, ran straight ahead
in the direction Of Camp Sonia with
the car following. The Everts were
about 300 feet "a Laurel city block
from their summer home and soon
came to turmoil.
