AIDING TB RESEARCH

Research and education have gone hand in
hand in the fight to conquer tuberculosis. Both
have been essential to the progress so far made
and both will play important roles in what
ever progress is made in the future.
Through the one, our scientific knowledge
about the disease, its cause, treatment and
prevention, has been increased. Through the
other vast numbers of people have been
Preached with the fruits of research-with
practical information on the treatment and
prevention of tuberculosis
Most of us are aware how education has
|helped people understand that tuberculosis is
not inherited but is contagious disease; that
tuberculosis is not necessarily fatal but that
lit can be cured that tuberculosis is easiest to
cure in early stage.
Less familiar to most of us, perhaps, is the
story of scientific study which preceded our
education on these points. For example, the
|heredity theory of tuberculosis could not be
!exploded until the real cause of tuberculosis
was determined the tuberculosis bacil-
lus was discovered in 1882 and was proved to
be the cause of tuberculosis.
A great deal of important scientific infor-
nation about tuberculosis has been accumu-
lated since 1882, but there is still much to be
learned about this disease before we can ex-
pect to conquer it completely.
For example, we do not know how to at
tack the tuberculosis germ directly in the hu-
man body. We do not fully understand the
process which leads to the formation of cavl-
ties in the lungs of tuberculosis patients. We
do not know how to prevent germs from be-
coming resistant to drugs sometimes used in
tuberculosis treatment.
The answers to these and many other puZ
zling questions sought by scientific nvestiga-
tors who are among 22 currently being aided
by grants from the National tuberculosis AS
sociation and it's 5000 affiliates, including the
Mcdowell County tuberculosis Association.
Funds for the research grants are derived
from proceeds from the sale of Christmas
Seals. Thus, all of us who purchase Christmas
Seals actually sponsoring research which
may prove of inestimable value in the conquest
of deadly disease
And at the same time Christmas Seal
dollars are aiding scientific study they are
also supporting the we'll planned, year-round
of education, case finding, and re-
habilitation conducted in this community by
the Mcdowell County tuberculosis Associa-
ton.
From the Immediate and long-range view
points, Christmas Seals are a sound invest
ment.

The Common Cold
S. v. LEWIS. M. D.

Your health department is vitality
interested in the correction of ply
sical defects, the prevention Of dis
eases, prevention of accidents,
which will in turn prolong life, and
by doing so make it a more pleas
ant life. In promoting better health
we will contribute greatly to a more
sound economy for the Individual
family.
In discussing public health prob
lens I believe it is we'll to talk a.
bout our current problems as well
as those that we may know are not
far in the future. For today, l have
chosen a condition that is ever with
US, and, until we have made fur
ther progress in the prevention OF
diseases, it will continue to be a
nuisance. The disease to which l re-
fer is the common cold, or, bad
cold it you like it any better by that
name. The common cold is highly
contagious, and as you know, it is
spread from one to another by ex-
cretions from the nose and mouth
of a person having a cold who does
not cover the nose and mouth with
handkerchief before coughing,
sneezing or splitting. If we remem-
Der that the lungs and bronchial
tree are only internal organs chat
are directly and constantly in com
munication with the outside air, we
can readily understand how easy it
must be for disease producing
germs to enter the throat and lungs

coughing or sneezang:-

coughing or sneeNng.
The most dangerous period for
snreading colds is the first three
days of a cold, dated from the
first symptoms you may have. The
i'm ediate forerunaer of pneu-
monia. tuberculosis and many
other respiratory diseases in
great number of cases, is severe
or prolonged cold.
The ability of the pneumonia
and tuberculosis germs to estab-
lish themselves depends great
deal upon the strength of the de-
fense forces Of the body invaded
Some of the principal ways in
which the body's defense forces
may be weakened are: chilling Of
the body following exposure to
cold and wet, or sudden chilling
when over heated; continued ex-
haustion from any cause; other in
fections, particularly colds, influ-
enza, bronchitis, childhood diseases
such as whooping cough, measles,
scarlet fever and quite number
of other diseases; accidental injur-
les; acute or chronic alcoholism,
insufficient sleep and relaxation,
and, foods that are inadequate in
quality and quantity.
In germ carried diseases, we
must remember that a big dose of
fresh germs is much harder for the
body to overcome than few stray,
half dead germs we often breathe
in or pick up here or there as we
all must do from time to time
therefore the danger of association
with people having fresh colds of

ing forcibly without first covering
the nose and moth with a handker-
chief it is possible for person
with a fresh cold to spray the air
with infectious droplets for a dis
tance of 5 or feet, thereby in
fecting other persons. A similar
large dose of the germs may be re-
ceived by kissing an infected per-
son; by using a handkerchief. tow
ell, a glass, cup, or other eating
, utensils, or some other article
freshly soiled with discharge from
the nose or mouth of person with
a cold; or by handling such artic-
les, then carrying the germs to the
mouth on unwashed hands, either
directly or indirectly while eating.
1t is a matter of observation
that some people practically never
have cold, while others have
distressing number of colds, espec-
tally from Autumn till Spring, the
reason being, some people have a
higher degree Of immunity, while
others do not, signifying that one
attack does not protect against
subsequent colds. Other predispos-
ing causes Of colds not before
mentioned are, the breathing of vi
tiated air, dust, smoke, gasses and
exposure to drafts and sudden tenn

colds than from any other ailment.
There is no information available
that will give hint as to the pre-
valence Of the common cold, prin-
cipally because the mortality rate
is Of no significance, and too, the
information would be extremely
difficult to obtain. Ordinarily we do
not place much Importance on a
cold or the disability it causes, but
if the sum total of suffering, in
convenience, complications and eco
nomic loss resulting from colds
could be determined, it would pro-
mote the common cold from the
trivial into the rank Of serious dis
eases.
Colds are prevalent most every
where and all people are suscept-
able. There are a few isolated plac-
es where the people do not have
colds unless carried to them by
strangers or others who come to
their territory. Those places are,
The Virgin Islands, Spitzbergen and
the Eskimos on the Greenland
Coast, Arctic explorers do not have
colds until they return to civiliza-
tion. This fact denotes the absence
of common carriers of colds in
those regions. The common cold is
caused by what is known to medi-
cal authority as virus. This virus
may cause burning of the eyes,
nose and throat, with an associat-
ed watery discharge, soon follow
ed by the invasion Of various other
pus producing germs which in turn
produce copius amounts of yellow
and greenish yellow discharges
from the nose, and throat by

REFUNDS TO VETERANS

Beginning in January, the Veterans Admin
istration will distribute some $2,800,000,OO0
to approximately 100000 veterans.
The refund represents return of premiums
paid on service life insurance policies and will
range from ninety cents to $528, depending
upon the amount of insurance the veteran car
ried and the length of time he paid premiums.
It will take some time to mail checks to all
the veterans entitled to refunds. In order to be
fair to all entitled to payments, the VA will
use the last three digits of the veterans serial
numbers as a guide to the mailing of checks.
This means that those whose serial numbers
end with 600 come first, those with 0O1 come
next and those with 999 come last The me-
thod, it is said, places officers and men en- the
same basis.

FEDERAL DEFICIT AHEAD

An official review of the Federal budget in
dicates deficit of $500, 100000 in this fis-
cal instead of S900,00O,000 deficit forecast by
the President in his January message to Con-
gress.
The deficit is explained by an increase of
81 800, 100000 in expenditures and prospec-
tive decline of $3,000,o00,000 in receipts due
to declining national income The other
5000, 100000 represents the deficit predicted
by the President last winter.
The prospective deficit compares with one
of $1,8O0, 100000 in the 1949 fiscal year,
which ended last June 30th, and surpluses of
$8,400,000, 900 in the 1948 fiscal year and
$754, 900 900 in the 1947 accounting period.
While there may be many explanations for
the deficit that looms ahead it should be ap-
parent to the people of this country, and to
those in official position, that the United Stat
es cannot operate permanently deficit
basis. While it is impossible to say exactly how
far the national debt can safely go, no gift of
prophecy is necessary to state that it cannot
go on forever.
