Grain Prices
Sag Gently

CHICAGO, Jan. q. R,-The
grain market sagged gently in
late dealings on the Board of
Trade today, ending up a dull
session with a tired" look.
Most cereals held around the
previous close, or slightly under
it, right from the start. But wheat
showed a few sparks of life dur
ing the first half of the day,
March going above $2.18 and
coming within 49, cents of its
seasonal high.
Toward the close the general
lethargy got the better of wheat,
too. With commercial support
drying up, traders who had
bought earlier got out of the
market. Their selling caused the
gentle depression. Other cereals
added to earlier small losses.
Wheat closed 1s-as lower, oats
were unchanged to u lower, rye
was Ais lower, soybeans were
IL lower to Y higher and lard
was 3 cents lower to 3 cents a
hundred pounds higher.
Some early buying in wheat
was attributed to export houses.
Trade sources credited Great
Britain with buying a cargo of
soft wheat and Norway with TAX
ing 5000 tons of hard wheat.
The economic cooperation ad.
ministration granted S1,277,OOO
to Ireland for the purchase of
American wheat.

Oddly, as the schedules and

mel. Only about 100000 people

flying as co-pilot. AS new gim-

Asks Help
For Ye
Old Cold

L 8
you noticed what science is up
| to now? It's trying to destroy
mans best, friend-the common
cold. d
This is rank ingratitude to
an ailment that has helped more
people than it has hurt. For mo-
dern society is built on the COM
mon cold, real or imaginary, and
it fills many necessary functions.
There Is a great tumult raging
in medical circles as whether the
new anti-histamine drugs will
cure the common cold.
Who cares? Who wants to be
cured anyway? Pneumonia, in
fluenza, bronchitis, asthma -
| these are real diseases that
threaten lifes and should be at
| tackled without mercy.
BUT WHY pick on the COM
mon cold? 1t isn't really dis
ease - it is one of civilizations
great safety valves.
The misguided people who
want to get rid of it use the
same arguments as those who
advocate prohibition 80 years
ago. The main argument in eco
nomic - that colds cost some
$42O, 100000 a year in lost wages.
The ida is that, if colds are
stopped, people won't miss work
and they will have $500, 900, 900
more with which to buy homes,
orchids, toy trains and Shetland
ponies.
What nonsense, really!
How many "colds" are caused
by germs? Only a fraction - as
most physicians know. A cold
is really a camouflage name
to describe hangovers, laziness,
deep fatigue, spring fever, an
unwillingness to face problems
at the office, a temporary re-
treat from the bugle call OF
duty, or just desire 10 play
hockey and 90 to the ball game.
WILL ANY drugs. anti.nista-
mine or otherwise, cure All tnese
things? Well, that is the real
problem of the common cold.
At present if you don't want
to play bridge or attend a bor-
ing cocktail party, you just put
; towel over your mouth, go to
the phone, and humble to the
hostess:
"Sorry, can't make it, got a
code id my head"
who wants her to chirp back,
ooh, don't worry. I'll send you
over some i-histamines.
Right now the plain, every
day cold is a better excuse than
television> to stay home - and
stay healthy. Social hyprocEsy
demands that there be fash
ionable acceptable minor illness
to bail people out of trouble
they don't want to get into.
CURE THE common cold and
folks will have to develop an
other allment - one that might
really make them sick. For peo-
pie - such is the power of mind
over germs - usually do develop
the ailments they pretend to
have.
Whatll we trade the cold for
-arthrltis, kidney stones, gall
bladder attacks, high blood
pressure, or mental neuroses?
All are worse than the cold.

For Services Not Given

(The following editorial is reprinted
from the Jan. 5, 1850 Tri-City Herald)
The statement by Earl Richmond,
community manager for Richland, that
the elimination of telephone tolls between
the Tri-Cities would be an economy to the
Atomic City has brought wave of ap-
plause from Tri-City residents.
Richmond, of course, is merely voic-
ing his opinion as manager of Richards
community affairs as to what would be
most economical for the village. He is not
in position to take sides in the matter
and he did not give his opinion with view
to indicating he did or did not favor such
move. .5.- ~.
However, his words struck home to
every phone user in the area who must
dig down into his pockets each month and
pay tribute to the phone companies in
volved for services not rendered. r
It is doubtful that the phone COM
panies believe they can maintain the toll
charges if public opposition breaks out
into the open. AT the present time, the
lations and their grab for local pocket
books, although profitable at present in
dicates woeful lack of farsightedness.
There is little need to think opposition
won't break out in full force.
Already the community of Enterprise
has submitted protest petitions to the state.
The only thing that keeps the Tri-City
communities from joining in this is the
lack Of leadership at this time.
But the feeling is there and it is grow
ing.
The tolls are unnecessary. They are
vicious and budget-crippling. They reach
the pocketbooks of all local residents and
they are damper to business.
If the Tri-Cities are to grow, the toll
charges for placing telephone calls be-
tween the communities must be eliminated.

they tell you why. One old pilot
