Si T Attend Health Service Reports Marked Increase In Pneimonia Cases > P'iunov t.' on lh' upswuis ti year acco 0)ng to the ihealith Service statistical report for September-Oc- tober which reveals an otherwise nor-f mal period.f Twenty-six pneumonia cases were officially reported. This figure is in .tartling contrast to the four cases1 occurring in the same period lastj year. In 1939 the figure was closer but still only'half of this year's count with 13 patients treated, No apparent explanation could be sound for the increase since the num- ber of colds treated, 1,197, was even" less than last year's 1,332 and the Trucking, Rail 600,000 Men (Continued from Page 1) he dates today for the progressive walkout and said they had so in- formed the chairman of the carriers conference committees.- Rail managemept offered no com- ment. The operating brotherhoods de- manded 30 per cent more pay, their lowest bracket now being $5.06 a day. President Roosevelt's emergency fact- inding board recommended a 7/2 per sent increase for these mgn, but the unions flatly rejected that proposal and called the strike, which had been &uthorized by the membership s ?arly asSept. 5. Meanwhile in Chicago local unions representing more than 250,000 truck grivers in 11 midwest\ states have au- tholizedna strike which would begin Sunday morning unless a last-min- ute,. agreement with operators werq reached, Frank Brown, a Chicago of- cicial of the AFL International 3rotherhood of Teamsters, announ- led today. Brown added, however, the union nen had asked for mediation by the Xffice of Production Management nd it was expected an OPM repre- entative would arrive tomorrow. The jispute is over wage increase de- mnands. An agreement between the drivers and some 800 employes expires Sat- urday, Nov. 15. The drivers several, months ago demanded an increase from 3 cents to 5 cents per mile, also from 80 cents to $1.05 an hour in the additional pay for pickups and deliv- eries. 1I39 total of 1,499 ai thI itpiemmv- October period Dr. Warren E. Forsythe. director of Health Service. warned that only careful treatment of colds by ade- quate rest and the prevention of fur- ther chilling can cut down on more serious developments from the colds, He advised students with bad colds to report to Health Service. A rather puzzling increase in the number of cases of infectious mono- nucleosis, a 'mysterious glandular fe- ver, has appeared in the las$t few years. There were 20 cases detected during the September-October peri- od this year as compared to 13 last year and 6 the year before. Figures from former annual rec- ords reveal an upward trend with 56. 79 and 110 cases for 1938,'1939 and 1940 Dr. Forsythe said the rise may be ascribed possibly to the ability of doctors to recognize the illness bet- ter. The symptoms are general fever with enlarged lymph glands. Pispensary calls for the period ran up to 20,074 comparing evenly with the 20,031 calls of last year. About 100 more bed patients were treated than in 1939 and 1940 witfi 362 cared for this year as against 261 and 266 previously. Student deaths are well ahead of the usual four or five per year with threefatalities already reported. Two accidental deaths occurred during the Summer Session and more recently a student succumbed to a heart at- tack. None of the victims was treated by Health Service.
