Chest Victory Torch Built By Shop Men Time and again, Clinton men and women's time and talents are combined and contributed to area-wide health, education, and welfare causes. Most recent example of the Company's and employees' role in providing the "extra" touch is a handsomely designed gas lighted torch to be used as a symbol in future Greater Clinton Community Chest Drives. Murray Adams, tinsmith, designed the 11-foot, metal clad torch. T. D. Douglas and the late Harold Wallace, Lydia carpenters, built the framework and assisted Murray in the initial construction stages, Wyman Shealy, local Gas Authority manager, designed and built the gas burner to be installed atop the torch. He and his men are locating the torch on the newly paved City Parking Lot, where it will be lighted and burned throughout the Drive. sCLo PUBLISHED BY AND FOR rY CHEST i Be Available iployees Again shots available again this fall The shots will be given free The U. S. Public Health Service in Washington recently issued a warning of a possible flu epidemic in the 1965-66 season. Flu runs in cycles. In the past, flu epidemics have fol lowed a three-year cycle. The outbreak of flu reached epidemic proportions in 1959-60 and again in 1962-63. Conditions appear right for flu this winter if the cycle holds true in our area. Evidence of the expected flu increase is the fact that flu vaccine has been recalled by the government so that it can be strengthened. A widely read medical column appearing in our daily newspaper devoted a full column to the subject of flu shots earlier this month. "The shots won't prevent all colds, grippe, sniffles, and so on, but they will prevent or modify the 'hard cases' of flu, the anes that put you to bed or threaten your life" the writer said. The shots will be available in the plants. Exact schedules will be announced in the plants soon. Local medical doctors recently expressed their position on the matter of flu vaccine in a letter to President TU? 1 TVT v an*.c. me ltrner una iNurses Column on Page 5 will be of particular interest to all employees.
