As we look ahead to a bout with ‘flu This simple gift if carried with you, Surely it will help you to turn the trick most disgustingly sick! This rhyme was presented to Mr. Wally Thomas, custodian of Avenue Road Public School, Galt, Ontario at the staff Christmas party in December 1968 during the Hong Kong Flu outbreak. The accompanying gift was a carefully sewn drawstring bag filled with sawdust that he did in fact attach to a hook on his belt for several weeks. It did help as he was called to clean up after a sick child several times each day. |
