Form of Flu Strikes Many Areas

A form of influenza or grippe has spread across most sections of the United States and hit areas in Mexico, Europe, Japan and Ha- Waii.
 The public health service in Washington said this week the widespread outbreak in the Unit ed States generally was limited to rather mild cases. However, IA Germans died in the flu epidemic in the American occupation zone in Germany.
 Nearly 100000 American serv- icemen and dependents are being given flu shots in Britain and on the continent as a precaution European health authorities said generally, however, there is little to worry over yet.
 A nationwide survey showed the central sections of the United States have been hardest hit.
 Here in the Valley reports o1 the illness seem to be on the de cline. Many families and individ- uals were hit by the "bug" but il is not believed to be as wide spread as in some parts of the states.

She will order as much wax as needed The cost will be approximately the same as before.
 A committee of three was ap- pointed to chose woman of the Valley as candidate for Alaska's Mother of the Year. Members felt that of the many fine mothers in the Valley, surely they would find one that would draw on 8 Territorial scale.

 Project leaders for March are reminded that Mrs. Audrey Dav' ies of Anchorage will be in Pal mer on the 24th of February.
