Care OF Colds Is
Urged BY County
Health Director

Your child will probably be i'll
with colds ten times as much as
all his other illnesses combined,
said DR.. Andrew Hedmeg, direc-
tor of Public Health in Jackson
county. Unfortunately medical
science does not completely un-
derstand colds at the present
time; however they have a great
deal of information parents might
like to share.
A cold in an infant or child is
a different disease from a cold in
an older person. Newborn in
fants seldom have upper respira-
tory infections. 1t is also a fact
that a cold in an infant more fire.
quently than otherwise leads tc
an ear infection or pneumonia.
There is one comforting fact
about a cold to remember, DR.
Hedmeg stated, and that is that
after the age o. six, the frequency
and severity of colds in children
grows much less. A nine-year-old
is only one-half as likely to have
a cold lasting as long as he did
when he was six. The twelve year
old in turn, has only one-half as
many as the nine year old.
Almost everyone has three to
four colds a year, usually in cy-
cles OF waves. Shortly after the
opening of school in September
or October, in January or Feb
ruary, and third in April and
May.
Colds are contagious and a
child should be kept away from
other children, DR.. Hedmeg
warned. One sick child in a school
room or nursery can cause a real
problem in spreading his infec-
ton to all other children in the
room. II is a fact that some chill
dren, can, seemingly, go out when
they have colds without ill-effect.
Nevertheless, it is wise to keep
the child in to protect him
self and others. II the child has
fever or unusual symptom of any
kind a doctor should be called.

PENSION BILL:
Vets Must Woif

w
Little possibility was seen by con-
gressional leaders for enactment OF
a veterans pension bill during the
current session.
The administration is openly OPP
posed to any such measure. being
quoted IS saving a program already
offered could not be considered in
accord with the program of the
President"
THE PROPOSAL to which the
refence was made is a veterans
pension bill to give servicemen Of
the last two wars a $50 monthly
pension when they reach age 60,
plus disability payments. It is es-
timated this would cost almost two
billion dollars the first year. with
later OUTLAWS reaching multi-billion
dollar levels.
Under this measure, sponsored
by Mississippi's Rankin, a veteran
need only to have served 80 days in
either world war to qualify for .
pension. The extra disability pay
would range from $50 TO 500 .
month, with no proviso that the disa-
bility must have been incurred in
service.
Veterans administrator Carl r.
GRAY. Jr., said that while he was
neither opposing nor favoring the
legislation in his capacity as vet
erans' administrator. its magnitude
must be weighed closely now to
prevent unwarranted financial out.
lays in the future. He pointed out
the cost burden might be so great
as to endanger the entire veteran.
compensation program.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN was on
record with this statement: "The
necessity for new or extended bene-
fits for veterans without service
disabilities should be judged not
solely from the standpoint Of SER
vice in our armed forces. but in the
light of existing social welfare pro-
grams available to all veterans and
non-veterans alike"
Mr.. Truman also said In his bud
get message: THE program Of vet.
erans' services and benefits should
reflect the fundamental fact that
primary long-run obligation is
to dependents of veterans deceased
from service causes, and to vet
Grams disabled in the service. At the
same time, we should preserve and
stress our basic objective of assist
ing the recipients of these benefits
to be as nearly as possible self
reliant and self-supporting members
of our society"
All Of which indicates that vet
Grams of both world wars expecting
pensions and disability allowances
had best be prepared to wait
awhile.

Are Above Average

During the month of January,
Montana doubled its traffic ia
eality rate, Highway Patrol Sup
erVisor ChaS. L. Sheridan said
Today.
AS Of January %, nine per-
sons died on the highways of
the state, according to patrol
-eports. Figures for previous
years are-1941, 10; 1912, 8;
1913, 2; 1914, 8; 1916, 4; 1916, g;
I94T, 2. The increase in 1949 is
in addition to a SO decrease in
traffic volume over the same
period of 1913.
"A quick glance at the acct
dent reports on these accidents
shows that excessive speed for
conditions was a prime factor.
Old King Corn had his hand in
it, too" Sheridan continued,
"and plain carelessness and
thoughtleSSneSS is combined
with the other factors to make
our highways a dangerous place
to spend much time.
Statistics show clearly the
winter weather seriously in
creases the danger factors in
highway transportation, and it
behooves us all to increase our
caution and consideration for
others when using them.
"a traffic accident can hap
