Page 4 The Haileyburian New 'Flu Germ In Canada Health department officials con- 'firmed Tuesday, that a new strain of influenza virus has been found in Canada, but added that an ex- isting vaccine is effective against the virus. The department's laboratory of hygiene reported it has identified 'a new strain of Type B virus as the cause of an influenza outbreak in the Regina area. Dr. F. P. Nagler, chief of the virus laboratories, said the same strain was isolated at the Saskatch- ewan Provincial Laboratory in Re- gina. He said the same strain was detected recently in Florida. The strain was "closely related"' to Type B (Great Lakes) influen- za virus, which was. isolated in Michigan in 1957. Dr. Nagler said Type B vaccine is effective against the new. -strain and that Type B virus. does: not spread as quickly as the more com- mon Type A virus. Several schools were closed and visitors barred from hospitals -. in the Regina district because of the 'flu outbreak. Dr. Nagler said the incidence of influenza is normal in the rest of the country, accord- ing to his department's informa- tion. The new strain of influenza is re- ported to be on the wane in Regina but spreading in rural areas to the east and west of the city. Dr. Murray -Acker, director of the Saskatchewan Health Depart- ment's Regional Services Branch, was in Toronto Tuesday to obtain supplies of vaccine.

The 1962 auto-rate manual for Ontario of the Canadian Underwrit- 'ers Association shows -public Ha- 'bility insurance will be- up 15 per 'eent over 1961 for the largest cate- 'gory -- drivers over 25, accident- 'free for at least three years, who drive for pleasure. For $100,000 coverage on a single 'accident the rate is raised to $48 from $42. A spokesman for a local insur- -ance broker said that the changes in rates will be applicable; here and that on some cars it will be as much as 15 per cent. Increases will apply to policies is- sued or renewed in 1962 by associa- tion members. About half the auto insurance firms in Ontario belong to Canadian underwriters. One of the largest outside the association said Friday it plans no Jan. 1 increase but; like most firms, it adjusts:its rates each year: Disclosure: of the 'planned in- crease follows an_ interim report this week of the Ontario 'législa- ture's elect committee on car. in- surance, which recommended that New Year rates: be government-controlled.-. :.
