Statehood for Alaska
(Ketchikan NeWs)

Even though the Truman Administration is SUD- posed to be friendly to the plan for statehood for Alaska, the fight for self autonomy should be kept active.
 Under the most favorable conditions possible statehood is not likely to in hurry Even after it is granted there is constitutional convention and lot of preliminary action before will be allowed to exercise the full powers of statehood
 Let add that the forthcoming session of the Legislature will prove important test The Alaska Legislature will have chance to show Congress that Alaskans fully capable of handling their af- fairs But if the members get into dog fights and make botch of things Congress may be loath to trust with the added responsibilities of statehood

Seeks Spiritual
Rebirth Two
Centuries Later

Reading, Pa.-AP-This 200
year-old city is seeking spir-
Mual rebirth' as it observes its
bicentennial this year.
That is how religious leaders
interpret the official seal chosen
by the City Fathers to mark the
celebration which is continuing
throughout 1948. Using tradition
al Pennsylvania Dutch" symbols
of a heart and tulip, the seal ex-
presses gratitude for the past gen.
crosby of God and the hope of
establishment of Gods King
dom on earth by the spiritual
rebirth of the city citizens.
Reading was founded in 1748
by the Quakers Thomas and Rich
ard Penn, sons of William Penn.
Most of Readings early settlers
were DPS seeking refuge from
religious persecution abroad. The
German Moravians and the
Brethren joined the Quakers, and
their religious traditions strength
ened the first pioneers.
"The deeply religious charac-
ter of the founding fathers and the
religious tradition which has
marked its people through the
years r fittingly represented in
the symbolism of the official BIZ
centennial SEAL" declared DR.. E.
E. Fisher, president of the Luth-
eran Pennsylvania Ministerium,
Philadelphia. I'VE ask that the
Providence of God will continue
to rest over this prosperous COM
munity in the years that lie
ahead"
Denis Cardinal Dougherty,
Archbishop of Philadelphia, de-
clared the symbolism should
"serve to remind the people of
Reading and Berks County of the
One True God, and their obliga-
tons toward Him.
Praise was also forthcoming

.Body's Own Machine Best To Fight
Common Cold, Health Educator Says

STATE COLLEGE, Miss. 49, Nc
medicine now known VIII "cure"
a cold, but it is the body's own
machinery that best fights the
virus, according to Mrs. Annette
5. Boutwell,, Extension specialist
n health education.
If you have not already been
overfatigued, exposed to cold,
wet weather and chilled. or un-
dernourished, you can usually
throw off a cold easily with rest
and proper diet, Mrs. Boutwell,
stated.
Cold preventives and cures
make extravagant claims. Most
OF them have been proved worth
less. They not only fail to prevent
or cure colds, many Of them arc
harmful because they contain
drugs, alcohol and sometimes
strong cathartics. Especially for
little children, this may be dan
serous dosage, Mrs. Boutwell,
ldded.
Medicine prescribed by your
ioctor makes you much more
comfortable, but it does not &C!
IN the cold virus, the health spe-
cialist declared.
The best way you can treat a
cold is to go to bed and stay there
Quietly, sleeping as much as you
can. Keep comfortably warm and
protected from drafts. Drink plen-
ty of liquids water. soup, milk
and fruit drinks. Eat light but
nourishing meals
"See your doctor if your cold
hangs on after a few days. Don't
give what seems to be only q
cold a chance to advance into
something more serious.
"To avoid taking cold. avoid
people with colds whenever pos
sible. Wash your hands often, es-
pecially before eating and after
touching a person sick with q
cold. .
Change to dry clothing quick
ly after being out in the rain tC
avoid chilling and wet feet. Eat

of milk, fats, green vegetables.
