‘Flu Epidemic
The epidemic in Conisboro’ appears to be on the increase and the doctors are working day and night.
Handbills have been distributed throughout the area, and acting on the advice of the Medical Officer all departments of the six elementary schools in the urban area were closed on Tuesday morning, until February 1st.
Greatly reduced attendances have been reported, and some classes have only been able to register 30 per cent.
Throughout the area works and businesses are carrying on with reduced staffs.
