HEALTH FOR ALL
Take Care OF Colds

Colds are almost as popular top
ic of conversation as the weather
And, as with the weather, few peo-
pie do anything about them. Many
people. of course, have their favorite
remedy for colds but even they find
that colds keep coming back.
While people do not die just from
colds, the common cold often leads
to serious illnesses which may cause
death. Not only that, colds are a nui-
sance and very disagreeable things
to have. They can make a person mis-
work and for the enjoyment of lei
sure.
Medical science does not claim to
know all the answers about colds. 1t
does know enough important facts
about them, however, to help people
avoid catching colds or, once they
have them, to indicate how to care
for them to prevent colds from lead
ing to more serious illnesses.
1t is important to remember that
colds are catching. They do not de-
velop spontaneously. We catch colds
from someone wko has one-or we
give cold to someone else. There
would be fewer colds if people always
remembered to cover their mouths
when sneezing or coughing, if they
weere careful not to drink from
glasses or cups used by another per-
son.
One way to avoid catching colds is
to keep away from people who have
them. We can't always do this, so we
should keep our bodies in such heal
thy condition that they are able to re-
sist cold. This means getting suffi-
cient rest, eating well-balanced meals
which include fresh fruits and vege-
tables, and seeing the doctor period
ically, even if we think we are per-
fectly we'll.
If we do catch cold we should not
neglect it. A cold may lead to influ-
enza, to pneumonia, to ear trouble.
become a ready prey to tuberculosis.
Children are particularly apt to de-
velo pear trouble after cold. When
they have bad colds they should be
kept away from school until the
worst is over. While at home, they
should be kept quiet and should not
be permitted to play with other chill
dren.
1t is not always necessary for an
adult to stay at home with cold,
but it is often the wise thing to do.
If the cold is accompanied by fever,
both adults and children should by
all means stay in bed.
Rest and diet are important fac
tors in curing cold. Weakened by
the cold, the body needs extra rest
and easily digested foods. Rich,
heavy foods should be avoided. The
diet shoul indclude plenty of liquids
water. fruit juices and clear soups.
Colds are undoubtedly . menace.

MOTHERS DAY

Sunday, May 18th, is Mothers Day
and in churches throughout the land
appropriate sermons will be preach
ed and services held.
1t was in 1906 that Miss Anna Jar
Wis. whose home was in Philadelphia,
suggested the second Sunday in May
be observed as Mothers Day.
The original idea of Miss Jarvis
was to celebrate the home-going OF
her own mother. The idea, however,
struck a responsive chord with those
who became acquainted with it and
the observance of Mothers Day
spread with alacrity.
A short while thereafter DR.. Geo.
w. Bailey, then President of the
Worlds Sunday School Association,
issued a call for the observance of
Mothers Day.
AS stated by DR.. Bailey the pur-
poses OF this celebration We're:
"To recall the memories of the
mothers who are gone and through
loving words and loving care bright
ell LuG lives VI LAC lhOLhOlo "hO ~
main, and to help children, men and
women to a greater blessing in hon
oring their fathers and mothers.
"To recall Mothers pray S
mothers dying words, and the prom
ise made to mother by the big boy
that still mourns her, and to stop
and to think what ske was in her life
to her family.
"Others who are blessed with their
mothers still near them may show
their appreciation by some deed of
gratitude or love-"
There are rays devoted torecogni-
ton of the service rendered by men
once in uniform who rallied to the
call of the country in times of dis
tress. Fitting and proper are these
days, but no more true moment or
significance tkan Mothers Day on
May 18th.
1t is day established to honor
millions of heroines, whose love, un-
selfishness and devotion have given
us about all we have in life that is
WOrLQWull6. IL is d udy Wu0n ONSl
man should recognize the debt that
he owes to his mother-a debt that
can be repaid only in the currency
in which the value was received ;
namely, love, unselfishness and devo-
ton.
Indeed it can never be repaid in
full, but we may at least recognize
its existence; we may strive to make
her coming years more happy and
more comfortable.
But let it be more than merely a
day when we observe thoughtlessly a
fine and loyal custom. Let it be rath-
er day when we rededicate our
selves to the task of living up to her
expectations. Let each son and each
daughter strive to become the man
and woman she dreamed they would
become We know of no more lofty
standard toward which the ordinary
faulty mortal may strive. We also
know of no better way to observe
truly the spirit of Mothers Day.

Supplies of fertilizer for American
farms will be seriously reduced if the
present coal strike is prolonged and
if exports of fertilizer to foreign
countries are increased in the coming
months, Tie National Fertilizer AS
sociaticn declares.
Output of ammonium sulphate,
one of the basic fertilizer materials,
and by-product of coking-coal, has
already been sharply curtailed as a
result of the coal strike. Prolonga-
tion of the strike will force a COM
.plete shutdown of ammonium sui
phate production and will also close
down most of the synthetic nitrogen
fixation plants. The recent steel
strike is estimated to have cut pro-
duction of ammonium sulphate by
$4,000 tons.

MIA said, would add to the indus

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 29.-Twelve patrolmen, whose ''vigilante" raids on alleged bootleg establishments brought crackdown from their supeIiors, were back in harness to- day with a promise of tighter law enforcement. but a warning that dis missal would follow any further un- authorized activities.
 Public Safety Commissioner Rob- ert E. Femme said he would also appoint a five man board to heal future complaints against police of- ficers. The patrolmen said they felt they could not work efficiently under Police Chief Percy E. Gregg because of a continuing policy o1 persecution. It was Gregg who suspended their commissions ano bsdges after last Weekend's activit- ies.

The W ashingt ion Merry -Go Round
Dy DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Neither side will admit the real facts, but there was semihumorous tragedy behind the shooting of Ukrainian Delegate Gregory Stadnik in a New York delicatessen shop last week.
 Stadnik was using the delicates- sen for what is known in the ln- telligence game as a drop box ] a prearranged point where foreign intelligence officers can leave mes sage which they want to go back to their country without passing through the regular mails.
 Stadnik had been using someone in the New York delicatessen to send messages back. to Moscow, and that is the real reason why the Ukrainian delegation has reg istered stiff official protest with the State Department, claiming that the shooting of Stadnik was a political crime
 The Russians honestly believe that the hold-up of the obscure deli catessen shop was staged because the U. s. Government knew Stad- nix was using it as a drop box and wanted to retaliate They can't conceive that such a robbery would have taken place otherwise How ever, they can't come out and state the reason for their suspicion.

Checker Difficulties Threat en to Spread f No
 Settlement Soon

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 29.-An- drew Larsen, business agent of the Tacoma AFL longshoremens' union, said today that East Coast, Great Lakes and Gulf ports probably will be closed soon if settlement isn't reached in the dispute now tying up Puget Sound waterfronts.
 AFL checkers in Puget Sound ports, Larsen said, have met con . , tinued employer resistance to de- mands for satisfactory contract, and the matter has been referred to ! International officials, AFL dock workers, who control Atlantic Coast and Great Lakes ports, probably will walk out pending settlement of the | local dispute as soon as their locals ican act on the matter, he said. i Larsen's remarks were made dur {. ing a conference in the office of Mayor C. Val Fawcett, at which time Tacoma city officials heard the union business agent and others dis cuSS the union side or the matlel.
 Continued insistence by the e,n ployers to include in the new work contract a clause which would give the employers the right to choose checkers, supercargoes and super visors from any source desided, in cluding ships officers, foremen and company executives has led to a near stalemate in attempts to settle the dispute, it was said.

 January Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Presi- dent Truman reportedly is being urged by some Capitol Hill friends to center his fire on few major issues in recommendation to the new Republican-co controlled Con gress.
 Several influential Democrats said privately they hope MT. Truman produces iddle-of -the-road propos- als for legislation on labor, housing taxes and expenditures. the military draft and possibly Army Navy merger
 They would prefer that he not at tempt 10 cover the broad field ot suggestions he made to the last Congress
 At that time MT Truman asked a legislative branch nominally con trolled by the Democrats to act on 2l separate proposals. Republicans and administration Democrats joined in smacking down many of these and altering others out oi recognizable form.
 With the Republicans now in con- trol of the legislative machinery and likely to pursue their own ob- jectives, many of the Democrats think it would be wise for the Pres ident to present his ideas only on the top issues.
 One of these is likely to Ee labor control legislation, on which the congressional approach probably will be affected yitailys by whether the coal mines stilr are idle when the legislators meet January 3.

SUNDBORG Al NOME FOR CONFERENCE ON TOWN PROJECTION

George Sundborg. General Man
 ager of the Alaskan Development
 Board, was to arrive at Nome today
 to confer with residents there on
 plans to protect the city from furth-
 CT storm damage.
 The Development Board head is
 surveying the Nome situation at the
 request of the Northwestern Alaska
 Chamber of Commerce. Nome has suffered several bad storms already
 tfis winter Tlcse t&las coss etWs
 lives and thousands of dollars 1T property damage.
 Proposals which will be consider ed include protection of the present townsite by breakwater and sea wall moving the town a short dis tance lack from the beach, anc moving the entire community a dis tance of about three miles to al entirely new townsite. The degree
 to which assistance might be forth coming from various Federal agen- cies in carrying out these alternate plans has already been explored by
 the Alaska Development Board. Reports from Nome indicate that because of continuous beach erosion the sea is encroaching closer on the town with the result that the per iodic storms cause greater damage
 from year to year.
 At Nome, Sundborg will confei with Antonio Polet, member of the Alaska Development Board, on other development matters pertaining tc the Second Division. Later he vii hold similar conferences with Boarc members, Leslie Nerland at Fair banks, Wilbur Wester at Anchorage and J. A. Talbot at Ketchikan. Hi
