The local Red Cross chapter sc
has taken in hand the matter of D
relief to suffering families in R
Fort Mill who are more or less G
destitute of help by reason of ai
the spread of influenza. In some w
cases whole families are afflicted U
and it is becessary that some D
system of relief be established. M
There will be volunteer nurses vi
and a headquarters kitchen and cl
much relief to the families and ci
the physicians will be afforded tf
through this effort of the Red f?
Cross society.* tf
The item in last week's Times
stating that the local school
would probably open last Monday,
slipped into the forms sc
through an oversight. The item ai
was put in type prior to the ST'
passage on Wednesday of the w
quarantine order by the State d?
board of health and should have w
been "killed," but got by the M
proofreader, just as all news- Y
paper errors get by. The school P'
will not, of course, open until b<
, the State board says open. st

Dr. F. B. Blakely was sent to st
Fort Mill the last week by the a}
State board of health to assist a
the local physicians in handling , tG
the influenza situation in this 0j
community. On account of the ai
absence or illness of several phy- m
sicians in the country districts. w
the local practitioners have had Si
numbers of calls from distant ai
points which they felt they cou'.d n
not well attend to without neglect
of patients in the immediate
community. However, they make
many sacrifices to meet the needs ki
of all as far as possible and the ol
presence of Dr. Blakeley is aid- t\
iug greatly in relieving the situ- m
ation. | si
