The state health department cautioned against trichiniasis from pork, urging thorough cooking and storage at low temperatures for 21 days. Summer sausage and smoked pork are flagged as hazards, while rat control and proper disposal of scraps also help prevent infection. The outbreak risk rises as summer progresses, with early symptoms of gastro intestinal disturbances and later facial swelling and fever. A separate note mentions Corporal Romane Van Dorn, stationed in Italy, confirming family communications, and a local story of Mr. Charley Lord’s death followed by a cane gift to workers who husked corn for Mrs. Charley Lord.
