stance, meningitis, practically al
ways fatal some years ago. is to-
day subject to control in most
cases.
Until two years ago the best
treatment for frostbite was not
determined. There had been two
schools of thought-(2) the
frostbitten part should be rubbed
with snow or dunked in ice cold
water and (2) it should be
treated with water heated to
body temperature. Only through
studies made by United States
Army doctors in Korea has it
been established that rapid re-
warming is best. There are also
drugs which are helpful.
Vitamin D, which we get
mostly from sunlight, should be
taken in capsule form during
winter months. Vitamin c has
been definitely established as a
resistance factor in infection.
These facts should lead us to
believe that we must give our
health special care during winter
months and that extra vitamins
might be most helpful, especially
vitamin D and c, and A, which Is
also known to be an anti-infec-
ton Vitamin.

Winter is q time when diseases
flourish. OF course there is al
ways the common cold. but we
also have an increase in in
f1uenza, pneumonia, frostbite and
heart and circulatory diseases.
The majority of deaths from the
latter occur between November
and March.
It will be good news to every
one to learn that progress is be-
ing made In conquering the cold.
Last year the cold virus was
grown in a test tube for the first
time.
Pneumonia used to be q great
killer. During the past few years
penicillin and other antibiotics
have made this disease much less
dreaded. Today pneumonia is an
important cause Of death only
among babies less than q year
old. and among the very old,
when pneumonia is deadly mainly
when in combination with other
diseases.

Many Of the Roman stripes
In the swimWear probably stem
from the fact that a lot OF
coast designers have visited
Italy this last year. Emilio
Pucci has designed some inn
aginative fabrics for Rose
Marie Reid and done q group
of real wild-l looking beach cos
tunes e employing Roman
striped terrycloth. Fringed
beach towels, pullover jackets,
dramatic capes and beach
wraps are all to be available
with intriguing beach hats to
match. We liked Rose Marie
Reid's novel outlook for the
beach scene that makes use Of
the 'big steal" the girls did Of
boy shirts. She has several
swimsuits with the new long
length for the torso, and high
rising bustline. done In colorful
cottons. They are worn with
the shirt-tail jackets or little
flngertip coats.
Catalina's new group is world
wide in its scope. Better THAN
its travelogue Of different
fashion ideas and fabrics from
foreign lands, is their origi-
nality in many domestic cotton
prints. Gingerbread men for
the little ones and water violets

"Snug Harbor," will bring you
to port quickly. It's an orion
knit lastex in a style featuring
a squared-off neckline and
wide shoulder straps. Color?
Soft blue and white.
This jumper or camisole top

The EorIy Hours

One who seeks quiet and reStful place
apart from the harassment of traff1c and
schedules and appointments can find 1t
during the predaWn hours In the city. In
the morning, at o'clock or 4 o'clock, most
of the city is indoors. A mist is over the
parks. The street lamps shine patiently,
lighting deserted streets. The beginning of
day seems long time away because there
is no urgency. no dizzying insistence to
speed along and overtake a new crisis, or
overwhelm problem by leaving it behind.
In the city, the darkness is not the OPP
pressive nightshade of menacing loneliness.
Home is close enough to offer sense Of
security, but there are no distractions ana
no intrusions on the mind. The calmness
Of the hour has soothing effect. Yester-
days problems seem less monumental In
the silent morning, free from the nagging
detail that magnified them.
The mind is open for reflection, situ-
alton far too rare In these days of preoc-
cupation with getting one job done so
another can be undertaken. The art Of
reflection, rusted from diSuse, becomes
smooth again in the early hours. One sees
men and events In different perspective,
particularly oneself In relation to the world.
This occasional pause to reflect is vital to
man, no matter what his position, and the
early morning, while the city is asleep, IS
an ideal time for It.

Dancer in Tunisio

Tunisia, the French protectorate in
North Africa, seems now to be so hot Win
the fevers of extreme nationalism that no.
body should be surprised if the situation
existing there explodes at any moment into
bloody strife on large scale.
A particularly ominous measure OF this
storm laden atmosphere-an atmosphere
marked by continuing and increasing vio-
lence-can be found in the proclamation
Just issued by Pierre Voizard, the French
resident-general. AS he has put it, "Nu-
merous crimes are shedding blood every day
In TuniSia. . It is my responsibility TO
maintain public order, and am determined
to maintain it, cost what it may. Any
person found carrying arms or explosives
without authorization will be Immediately
sent before military tribunal. Every act
of rebellion will be pitilessly repressed
Here surely is official language of sort
that indicates the existence Of truly grave
state of unrest in the protectorate. There
has been trouble there for long time, Of
course. but now it apparently has APP

direct action to attain full independence.
Much Of that action-aided and abetted to
some extent by Communist agents-has
taken the form Of unspeakable atrocities,
and the French government therefore has
good reason to respond with severe meas
ures. Yet there is much more to be done
than just that. For policy made up Of
nothing but pitiless repression-even assum-
ing sufficient power and grim reSoluteneSs
to impose it-can hardly maintain public
order without at the same time intenSifying
explosive, beneath-the -surface forces Of re-
sentiment and RIGHTEOUSNESS.
In fact-by coincidence, il not by de-
sign-40 French civilian leaders in the
protectorate have taken position that
seems to be completely at odds with the
one set forth in the resident-gene proc
lamation. At any rate, in letter to Premier
Mendes-France, they have warned that "the
policy of repression and oppression has had
tragic results" and that soon, II force con-
tinues to prevail over elaboration and the

pass beyond the possibility of remedy. What
they want, apparently, is concrete action BY

Rivalry in the Arctic

There is nothing particularly surprising
or startling about Moscow's announcement
that the Soviet Union is maintaining "sci-
entif1c stations" on two floating ice islands
in the polar region north and northwest of
Alaska. For the Russians have been active
in several parts of the Arctic for long
time past-and so have we, especially with
projects undertaken by our Air Force
These projects -Russia's and our own
involve much more, of course, than a mere
scholarly rivalry to acquire new academic
knowledge about the depth Of the Arctic
Ocean or such other things as atmospheric
conditions in that desolate part of the
world. Actually, what they really involve,
above everything else, is kind Of mutual
military compulsion to gather as much
information as possible about the signih-
canoe of the north polar region in terms
of both its defensive and offensive poten-
tialitieS.
This is so because the Arctic represents
the shortest air route between the Soviet
Union and the United States. Hence It is
one Of the worlds most vital two-way stra-
tegic highways, and that Is why the Rus
slams, like ourselves, have taken such an
intense interest in it. In that sense, their
new scientific stations" serve merely to
remind us that we cannot afford to let them
get ahead Of us up there.

It was collar-and-cuf age.
The collars were stiff. as well as the

u. S., U. II. and Red Chino

Here are some questions I'd very
much like answered:
/. Should Red China be admitted to
the U. NJ. would that not make this
arrogant clique even more arrogant?
Would she not then try to seize the
power Of world leadership?
2. Would it upset the so-called ball
ance Of power SO that the Communists
would have something of free hand
in running the U. N?
3. On the other hand. since China
by-passed the Soviet Union on its re-
cent visit to India, might this not be
taken as an encouraging sign that Red
China intends to run its own affairs
and eventually may counter balance
the Soviet Union? Or would such an
assumption seem too much Of risk
to take?
4. It Is recognized that one nation
cannot Just ignore the ruling power Of
another powerful nation. even If it
does consist of outlaws-at least in this
modern world. 1t has to be dealt with
somehow. How best could 1t be dealt
with? Boycott it, or meet it where it
can be closely watched?
D. JUST WnaC are GFeaC 6rlGauS Tea-
sons for recognizing Red China diplo-
matically? Are they sound reasons or
based on scholasticism (of the Dark
Ages type)? Or would the reason be
economies? Great Britain and the
United States being brothers and allies.
it is important that we understand
and are in sympathy with each others
needs.
If the President should come to q
conclusion from his vast source Of
knowledge that one course Of action
would be wiser than another course,
yet If 1t conhicted with the majority
wishes Of the people, he would be
obliged to follow the peoples wishes.
Hence the urgent necessity that the
people be fully and accurately informed.
