Whether justified or not, there is also criticism of the me‘thods used in comba‘tt-ing the “Flu” epidemic. Another matter arousing much publie disapproval was the lack of attention paid to the re- cent “(Telubration” of the signimqr of the Armistice. For this, the Mayor has been criticized especially, and many have .been quite outspoken in elassing the form of the “(7elebra- tion” as beneath the standing of the} Town and the dignity of the occasion.

If \V‘hile Coc‘hrane, Iroquois Falls, the Porcupine Camp and other parts of the North Land were suffering from the Influenza epidemic, Cobalt and Hailey‘bury seemed to escape very lightly. It is true that there were many eases of illness in the Silver (lamp. but any cases of Influenza seemed to be of a very light type and “there was apparently no particular death roll. Indeed, in some quarters, the claim was made that Cobalt had only two deaths from the “Flu” from the time the epidemic. reached the North Land. Last week, however, there was a decided ehang‘e for thei worse in the matter, and ('ohalt now seems to be suffering: seriously from the disease. The Y. M. C'. A. was turned into an emergeney hospital and in less than three days there were 35 patients being treated there. In ad- ;dition there are scores of others ill at 'their homes. On Sunday there were four deaths and on Monday three more up to three or four in the after-l noon. The .MeNahls ambulance had; over ‘25 calls over the week-end to take 3 patients to the hospital for treatment. The sudden outbreak of the disease' now in (‘obalt is blamed by many. there on the recent celebrations of the Armistice when large crowds gather-i ed and people mingled together on the 3"reet‘s and at halls, etc. Others, however, say that the sudden outbreak at this time may more properly be blamed upon the. disease itself, of which so little is known. The “Flu,” as it, is known. follows no recognized rules m" regulations and pursues its eourse and chooses its victims without regard to anything. livery effort is being made to curb the outbreak in Cobalt.

To se- cure and equip a suitable building would take several months, so the sooner a move is made the better. The. eitiZens dismissing the matter last week. referred to the benefits of such elu’bs as the Albany and the Em- pire, in Toronto, the Rideau, Ottawa, ete., and they pointed out how the ad- vantages to 'l‘immins from such a club vould even be more marked. “\Vhatj is needed,” said one man, “is a elull) where the members ean get the best of meals; where they can take. a fri- end to entertain; where. there are bill- iard tables, bowling, a library, period- icals, ete., and where the company is congenial.” Visions of pleasant smok ing rooms and reading parlors were pictured, and the question of the eost of this (liseussed.
