Daniel Bergsma, state commissioner of health. As a result, Dr. Bergsma has abandoned a voluntary priority system on distribution of flu vaccine which was adopted Sept. 18. He recommended the vaccine be made available to any resident who wants it.

Meanwhile, flu and its complications claimed about 30 more lives across the country during the last 24 hours, according to a survey by the United Press. In Philadelphia, three additional deaths were attributed to flu-connected diseases. 433 Deaths Reported The United Press tally since the first case of Asian flu was reported In the country last summer showed at least 433 deaths blamed on fla and complications, chiefly pneumonia. New" York State continued to have the highest fatality rate with 126 deaths. Pennsylvania reported 89 fatalities.

Elsewhere there were 37 deaths in Michigan, 31 in California, 21 each in Illinois and Louisiana, 15 each in Iowa, Washington and Wisconsin, 11 In Utah, 10 in Colorado, 9 in Hawaii, 7 In Connecticut, 6 each in Indiana and Kentucky, 5 in New Jersey, and 3 each in Tennessee and Oregon. In New Jersey, Dr. Bergsma reported there have been 7373 cases of flu reported to the state department of health this year. Although there is no breakdown to indicate how many cases of flu are of the Asian variety, reports indicate the cases number up in the thousands. Unofficial KeporU The department has not as yet confirmed any deaths as being caused by the disease, but unofficial reports from county medical examiners place the number of deaths from Asian flu and related ailments at five.

Up to the present time, the department of health has received reports there have been outbreaks of flu in Wildwood, the Cape May Coast Guard Station, Rutgers University, Princeton University, the Jamesburg State Home for Boys, the tulxrculosis preventorium at Farmingdale, Trenton State Teachers College, Heights-town; Ft.

Built at a cost of $1,632,000, the school opened for 7th, 8th and 9th grade pupils in the fall of IT WAS A CRISP, cold, fall day the kind that -reminds one that the bleak days of winter lie ahead as we sat with the old-timer on the rickety park bench.

A sudden, strong gust of wind caused us to pull up the collar of our topcoat, and, turtle-like, snuggle our head into its comparative warmth His clear, bright eyes fairly twinkled as he asked, "Cold?" In the face of our obvious discomfort we couldn't deny that we'd rather have had our chat in the comfort of a warm room With pretended indignation he observed, impatiently, "What in the name of all things sensible is this generation coming to? You must have water in your veins, instead of good, warm blood. Why, man alive This is a glorious day We marveled at the old one's stamina He was dressed for a summer day jacket of his suit that had seen far better days w-as unbuttoned, as was the collar of his well-worn but clean shirt. WHILE WE KNEW IT was a touchy subject, we thought we'd chance it anyway "Why can't we meet in your rooms, or at any other place, less conducive to catching pneumonia than this spot, now that the cold weather is here?" He glowered as he said, "You're really a stubborn cuss, aren't you? You knew the answer even before you asked it." As a matter of fact we did All too often we had listened to the old-timer's appraisal of his "thinking place," as he described it. He had discovered it when he was a youngster. He'd visited it ever since, whenever he'd been faced with a problem, lie told us once that the day before he proposed marriage to "the loveliest of God's creatures," he communed with himself at that very spot, while he gathered sufficient courage to "pop the question." That she said yes, and that, for a scant 10 years before her passing they had been the happiest of people, brought, for him, an aura of near sanctity to the place "I often planned to bring her here," he told us one time, when he was in a more than usual reminiscent mood, "but, like many other things we never accomplished, we just never got around to it." FALLEN LEAVES OF MYRIAD HUES, stirred by the wind, fluttered about our feet One, newly detached from a nearby tree, after gyrating crazily for a few moments, came to rest on the old-timer's shoulder Ha gently grasped the leaf by its stem.

He looked at it for a few moments before he said, softly, "Foor little thing." Our surprise must have been fairly obvious because he quickly explained, "Up until a few moments ago this was part of a great living, breathing creature. In its prime it helped to bring relief from a summer's blistering sun to all who sought shelter beneath it and its companions. In the early spring of this very year it was young, tender, green. Now it has been cast off, unwanted, its mission fulfilled." Extending his hand, he permitted the leaf to drop to the ground. "We so-called humans are involved in a similar phenomenon.

We're all leaves upon the tree of life, and all too soon we're cast off, so that new life may follow. This, too, is our destiny, from the springtime of our lives." THE OLD ONE LOOKED DOWN meditatively After what seemed an interminable pause, he looked up with a kind of hurt look upon his face. We couldn't remember ever having seen him look so woebegone "We humans are a cruel lot. Unlike these leaves that have outlived their usefulness, we are cast aside even before our destiny is fulfilled. Nature is fairer.

Not until a rose has shared its full beauty with the world does it fade and die. Not until the fairest spring flower blossoms to presage a summer to come are its petals scattered. Cut we humans set ourselves up as superior to these lowly though lovely creations of God. We claim greater intelligence, so we set about to wreak havoc upon the lives of those who have the ability and the willingness to go on. We say to them, 'You are finished facts and figures say you So they're relegated to inactivity most times when they're in the most productive period of their lives just because cold, blatant, sickeningly impersonal statistics decree that their usefullness ha3 come to an end." WE KNEW THAT THE OLD-TIMER was decrying his own uselessness Once associated with a large corporation, he was forced into retirement because of company policy, making mandatory retirement at age 65 He had pretended to his fellow-workers, as his time drew near, that he would relish inactivity, but the day he received his tribute a gold watch and a handshake from the president of the concern he went home and wept bitterly He tried to make himself believe that he would be the exception to the rule.

He'd be sent for. They couldn't get along without him As months went by, men with whom he had worked stopped by. They regaled him with the new improvements that had taken place in the office; they spoke of the intricate machinery that replaced antiquated methods, and they kidded him about the expense the company was obliged to undertake to replace him All this we learned from one of his few close friends who, too, has gone on. WE'VE LONG SUSPECTED that he could read our thoughts, and as we sat remembering the things he didn't suspect we knew, he turned to us quickly and said, "Now don't go jumping at conclusions. I'm not speaking for myself.

I'm doing just what I want to do and having a mightly wonderful time doing it." His false bravado didn't fool us for a moment. The more frequent melancholy look in his eyes told us that idleness was weighing heavily upon him "It's just that others, who really want to work are not permitted to, because some efficiency experts devised an alleged foolproof longevity table. 'Foolproof my Aunt Fanny's left foot! When are those lamentable excuses for intellectuals going to realize that age is a condition of the mind? I've known men half my age who couldn't keep up with me. Age has nothing to do with physical or mental well-being. If you enjoy your work you become so completely engrossed in it you don't find time to feel old.

I could name no fewer than three world-renowned heads of state who are past 70, or close to it. What is more wearying than running a nation? How do the longevity tables rationalize that situation?" IT WAS ALL TOO OBVIOUS that the old fellow was emotionally upset, despite his attempted levity We regretted suggesting the topic. "How to best utilize the talents of the aged" for our interview As a final summation the old-timer said, as he rose, "Waste is just as much an evil when you think in terms of a discarded loaf of bread, or the discarded talents of a man over 63. Something must be done to provide work for those who truly want to work, regardless, of age." As usual the' old-timer walked toward the path leading from our rendezvous without as much as a formal farewell This time he turned before -he made his departure and said, so quietly we just about heard him, "It's an awful thing not to be The answer is: quite a lot. He probably admires the local high school half back a good deal more right now.

For this, he is going to need a good education. And as long as Bob Meyner's Governor, you can be sure he's going to get it. When Bob Meyner took over the job 4 years ago he faced some hard problems.

One of these was our growing school population. If something wasn't done, it was clear local school taxes would become so crushing that no community could afford them. There were other problems too teacher shortages, need for new construction, and so on. They had to be faced. The way Bob Meyner faced them and solved them was as straightforward as the old fashioned ABCs vise preparation for the laving of the cornerstone, behind which will be placed a box containing copies of local newspapers, a dedication program, a map of Delaware Township and various coins.
