“Nothing, except I haven’t
killed a deer yet.”
Flu Shots Are
Urged For
Certain Groups
Family and friends today
were urged to make certain
chronic lung disease victims
receive full protection
against the flu viruses
expected during the 1976-77
season.
“Usually a mild illness for
healthy people, flu can mean
serious trouble for those with
lung diseases,” Michael
Duffell, M.D., President of
the Georgia Thoracic Society
said. “So far as risk is
concerned, this year is no
different for these 14 million
Americans than any other flu
season.”
Any lung infection can
interfere with the lung’s
cleansing mechanisms and
the supply of oxygen to the
boys, the Christmas Seal
spokesperson explained. For
those with diseases such as
emphysema, who barely get
enough oxygen without com
plications, the result may be
dangerous, even fatal. Flu is
a serious hazard for those
with chronic bronchitis. It
can exacerbate asthma, even
precipitate attacks.
Dr. Duffell said TB
patients are at extra risk,
because so many are elderly
or suffering from other
chronic ailments, such as
heart disease or diabetes.
Any one of these conditions
places an individual at high
risk when flu strikes he said.
Dr. Duffell said contro
versy surrounding the
government’s mass influenza
immunization program, and
the recommendation that
persons at high risk receive
two separate vaccines, may
be confusing to lung disease
patients and their families.
Such persons should re
ceive immunization against
both the so-called “swine
flu” virus (A-New Jersey-76)
and the current variant of the
A-flu virus (A-Victoria-75),
which are available in one
vaccine, and against the
B-flu virus, which requires
another shot. Both shots may
be given at one time.
Dr. Duffel! said the
American Lung Association
and its medical section, the
American Thoracic Society,
recommend that adults with
chronic lung diseases be
protected annually against
the flu viruses expected to
circulate.
Information about where
and when to get flu shots is
available from one’s local
health department.

Citizens To
Set Goals
For Education
The much publicized Edu
cational Goal Setting Survey,
according to Larry Morgan,
committee chairman, is now
in the hands of the citizens of
Butts County.
Forms were made avail
able this week for students to
carry home. They have also
been given to some civic
organizations and busi
nesses. The ministers have
copies for distribution to
their membership. Any
group or individual not
receiving the forms should
request same from the
superintendent’s office.
Purpose of the survey is for
citizens to help the school
personnel to determine the
direction to be taken by the
schools. Mr. Morgan said the
citizens are asked to indicate
the things they like about the
schools, those things they do
not like, the things they
would like changed, and the
most common comment they
hear about the schools.
The survey contains
several statements and citi
zens are asked to indicate if
they agree or disagree. The
form also asks for the goals
that citizens feel students
should have upon finishing
school. Mr. Morgan requests
that broad statements be
used to express the goals,
such as: “Every student
should be able to read a wide
variety of materials.” He
said the narrow descriptive
statements should be avoid
ed, such as: “Every student
should be able to read
Shakespeare.”
Survey forms should be
returned by November 23 to
the C&S Bank, to any school,
to the Board of Education, or
to one of the following
committee members: Larry
