Should the \u201cflu\u201d break out on the { continent, where the probability is greatest with 25,000,000 roaming the countryside homeless and with- ' out food, it is the opinion of experts ! that a similar epidemic could reach : the Western Hemisphere within a week The virulent type of \u201cflu\u201d which swept Europe and America in 1918 and 1919 caused 21,000,000 deaths but even after the last war a spokesman from the Department of Reconstruction said, \u2018\u2018we didn\u2019t have all of Europe as a breeding ground for the disease as we have today.\u201d With the thousand's of Canadian and American servicemen still on the continent and other parts of Europe and should an outbreak occur there, these returning servicemen could easily carry the germs far and wide.Already influenza is a problem in Germany and the liberated countries of Europe and although it has not reached epidemic proportion, doctors there feel the greatest rlan-ger of it reaching such proportions late this winter or early this spring.Because of the low resistance to disease of these people after five years of war and all the privations it incurs along with the physical strain, opinion is running high that the scourge might sweep the continent within six months.However, in this city, no cases have yet been reported, it was learned from several local doctors.Dr.W.W.Lynch told the Record that there have been several cases of recurrent grippe among his patients, but that lie believed the general health of the population of Sherbrooke to be as good as in any other year.Dr.G.Saine, of the medical board of the Hotel Dieu and St.Francis Sanatorium, said ho thought there was no need for alarm in Sherbrooke, adding that he felt certain that if such an epidemic did reach this city, medical men could easily cope with the situation.He said that with the vast strides made by scientific research during the war year® and the discovery of a great number of new medicines, an efficient check could be put on the disease at its source.Dr.S.Marcus urged people not to be alarmists, stating that he was certain there were no cases in town, but that in order to avert the possibilities of the flu getting a hold, \u201cdoctor up\u201d at the first signs of a cold.Recurrent grippe and cold® usually occur between seasons, that is the fall and the spring, but so far this season the number of cases of had colds requiring medical attention has not been more than average.The number of contagious diseas-1 es in Sherbrooke has been exceptionally email this season, Joseph Masse, Health Inspector of the City of Sherbrooke, said this morning.Only one case of diphtheria has been reported and the patient is now well on the way to recovery, he said.Mr.Masse, too, was of the opinion that the general health of the population was exceedingly good.He said that during hu-roumls of inspection he found that people were becoming more conscious of health conditions and cleanliness not only in their homes, but in their work, whether in factories or farms.While recommending the use of the war-born D.D.T.insecticide.Inspector Masse attached a warning that the powder was poison to human® and also had certain limitations to its use, particularly in the home.A special meeting of the Governors of the Sherbrooke Hospital was held last evening to consider the requirements of the Hospital and the urgent need of immediate action to increase the capacity and facilities of the institution.A report on the steps which have been taken during the past year was submitted by the Chairman of the Executive Committee, and members of the Medical Board, who were present, were invited to express their views.A general discussion followed and the meeting was unanimous as to the urgent need of relief action, which it was felt could be found only in the construction of a new hospital, and that assistance from the Government would be necessary.A Committee was formed to study the question again, and to seek such interviews or take such action as might be necessary to advance the solution of this pressing problem.VETERANS\u2019 ADVISERS SEE HUNDREDS IN TOWNSHIPS In November 2 9 5 veterans were
