AVOIDING AND CURING COLDS

We would not discourage anybody who
thinks he has discovered cure for the COM
mon cold but, so far as science is concerned,
there is not yet any vaccine or serum that will
prevent an individual from at some time or
other, "catching cold"
About the best defense for the individual,
anxious to prevent colds, is to avoid those who
have one, dress warmly and avoid becoming
|chilled or wet, eat in good appetite, get enough
fresh air, exercise and rest.
Of course, the above rules constitute sound
advice whether one wants to dodge a cold or
not. They represent common sense applied to
the job Of living we'll. The advice will tend to
prevent one from getting sickness of any kind.
About all that it will not help prevent is an ac-
|cident or the unexpected visit of: an unwelcome
}relative.
The average person is apt to overlook the
possible serious consequences of the ordinary
Icold. If taken in hand, a slight cold may not
!be dangerous but, if neglected, can develop
into more serious malady. The experts sug
gest, if you get cold:
CD Don't hesitate to take plenty of rest and
if at all possible, stay in bed.
(2) Eat rather lightly and drink plenty of
fluids.
60 Avoid mingling in crowds and, as near
ly as possible, stay in an even temperature By
keeping away from others, you also protect
them.
(4) If the cold continues and you develop
fever, call your DOCTOR There may be some
other cause for the fever

SAFE HUNTINGDON OTHERS

The season for good hunting is about to be-
gin. Unless 1949 is an exception to previous
years, the newspapers will report numerous
instance, involving the wounding or killing of
hunters by accident.
Nearly every community in the nation, in
cluding Marion, has, at one time or another,
experienced the sense Of futile grief that COM
es from a tragedy in the fields, which, in the
absence of human error, could have been a
voided. Despite the general realization that
firearms are dangerous human beings often
take chance and, by so doing, take the life of
somebody else.
We have seen several collections of safety
rules, designed to warn hunters of danger The
eleven set out by the Conservation Depart
1nent of the State of New York several years
ago, deserve wide circulation and study by all
those in Mcdowell county who plan to take to
the fields and woods in search of game:
O) Never carry loaded guns in automobiles
.or other vehicles
(2) When afield, hunting birds, keep a.
breast of your companion.
(3) In loading, never point gun in the di-
rection of your companion.
(4) In climbing over stone walls and fences,
first break or unload your gun.
(5) A bird quartering to the right in the vi
-cinity of your hunting companion should never
be fired on by hunter on the extreme left and
vice versa.
Co Never leave loaded gun standing a.
gainst a tree or lying on the ground where a
dog may get at it.
CD Always. keep your gun pointed away
from your companion when you stop to talk.
81 In handing a gun to person for inspec-
tion, be sure it is unloaded
(9) Never shoot in the direction of your
companion because you consider yourself a
good marksman. You will be taking danger
-ous chance.
Q0)Carry gun pointed down to the left.
If you shoot left-handed, walk at the extreme
right of the party.
GD At all times, be careful.

GENEROSITY TO FRIEND AND FOE

AS of the end of June, foreign governments
had received credits from the United Govern
ment in an aggregate total Of s26,70o,000,00o
in the last four years.
Accustomed as the American people are
to the spending of billions, instead of millions,
the significance of the generosity of the Unit
ed States, to other countries, is apt to be over
looked
Certainly, the assistance that this country
has extended to other friendly nations in an
effort to help them overcome the losses re-
sulting from the recent war is without paral-
lei in the history Of the world. 1t is evidence
that the United States wants in the world and
is willing to spend some money in the attempt
ITO get it.

.RELATJXISM

There are gentle autumn days when sum-
mer floats lazily in the golden air and only
the early morning mists hold the hint of COM
ing winter. And there gusty autumn days
when summer and winter strive nightly to-
gether, shaking the flushed leaves from the
trees in abrupt >dishevelment
Peaceful or rowdy, fall days remind us that
nature prefers mixed economy. No fixed to-
talitarian tyranny of summer or winter rules
the year. No iron calendar keeps the season
of SHOWS and the season of flowers from in
terminglng in sweet accord or robust disa-
greement, one merging into the other through
every degree of intermediate rigor and relax
alton.
There are those who find autumn sad, a
time of the passing away of pleasures. But
it is a beginning also of a new challenge, a
fresh and exhilerating call to brisky energies.
Joy itself dwells apart from this seasonal flux
and snow. It reaches deep into realities be-
yond the cycle of bud, blossom, fruit and
stripped, black bough. It.lends to each its spec
ial beauty, it's peculiar relevance. It remains
a, spiritual absolute in ~relativistic world

CAN LIVE TOGETHER

Many Americans are asking themselves the
question whether nations with different social
sytems can co-exist and cooperate to the end
that Peace may be possible among the nations
of the earth.
This question answered, so far as Yugo-
slavia is concerned, by Dr. Edward Kardelj,
Foreign Minister, who declared before the
United Nations, that such cooperation is both
possible and necessary" and that the differ
ences do not in themselves constitute source
of war danger, provided the nations abide by
the principles of non-interference in the in
ternal affairs of other countries.
In the same speech, the Yugoslavian Mini
ster made clear that there exists basic diff
ference between Yugoslavia and Russia in re-
gard to the proper social system. He asserted
the leaders in Moscow do not practice what
they preach.

Bicyclist Makes
Tour OF 48 Sta tes
CONTINUED from first page)

Outside the cafe people were
looking at the Western Flyer BIZ
cycle with license tags from the 48
states arranged in triangular de-
sien-the ones from states he does
MT like on the inside, he explained.
North Carolina was not on the
inside, although he did confess he
had encountered some strange re-
actions from people in this state as
to his tour. He doesn't plan to make
the purpose known until it is COM
pleted. Now he is headed for the
east coast and New York City, but
first he will have to go to Chesney,
S. c., for another license tag be
fore proceeding to New York City.
Those license tags are important.
They are related to the purpose of
the tour, but he isn't saying what
the purpose is.
He left Oregon one year and 62
days ago last Saturday and headed
for the points in the nation where
the boundaries of states meet. That
way he can collect more license
tags in minimum distance. He
weighed 1876 pounds then. Now he
weighs 1853. Some days he has been
without food. but he travelled any,
way. Last Friday was the first time
in two months he slept in a bed.
Reminiscing on various phases of
his tour, he particularly remembers
bridges. he has crossed. In a ITS
mile strip from Miami to Key West,
Florida, he crossed 40 bridges to-
falling more than seven miles. Once
he pedaled IS miles with one pedal
just before arriving in Yuma, Ari-
zona.
He's 28 years of age, single, ma
tive of Oregon. His profession is
electrician, but odd jobs he has
done include working in morgue,
cutting trees, washing dishes, dig
ging- trenches for pipe lines, car
pentry work, painting and working
on a farm seven years. He plays
harmonica and piano, too, but
mot too WE'LL" he smiled.
He believes the most striking
part of his journey has began the
responses made to his appeals for
work. Sometimes the pople just
stare as if they think he is queer,
sometimes they order him away
and sometimes they are indiffer-
ent, he said. Once he asked po-
lice if he knew where he might
spend the night and the answer
was, chow much money do you
have in your pocket?"
"But there's nothing greater
than riding a bike" he commented,
"and when 1 reach New York I'll
reveal my reason for this trip"

VIEWS ON RECREATION

The value of recreation in preventing juve-
nile delinquency is being er-emphasized,
in the opinion of Ray Sorenson, something of
an authority in the recreational field and
managing director of the Y M C.. A. in San
Francisco.
Mr.. Sorenson decries the "extravagant
claims being made, pointing out that recre-
alton is not conducted to prevent delinquency
@any more than we run schools to prevent" it.
At the same time, one should not overlook
the. valuable training that boys and girls re-
ceive through organized recreation. I'm
doubtedly such activities tend to develop a
balanced life and have great influence in pre-
venting children from getting involved in
questionable activities.
