only way to combat disease was by
the use of counter-magic. This be-
lief in magic led to the wearing of
jewels because it was thought the
glitter of the jewels caught and
held the "evil eye" making it pow
erless.
Today, in the light of advancing
medical science, the supefstitions
of the past seem curious indeed.
For instance, long ago, people be-
lieved that the cure for a tumor or
a goiter was to stroke it nine times
with the hand of a dead man, pref
erably one who had been hung.
A sure cure for diphtheria, ac-
cording to the old superstition,
was to swab the sick child's throat
with rag doll on a stick. In treat
ing whooping cough, it was be-
lieved that a cure would result
after feeding the patient fried
mouse.
Wood was believed to have great
magical powers. The cure for
chills and fever was to hang
around the neck of the patient a
bag containing wooden chips from
a gallows. Another cure for the
same complaint was to peg lock
of your hair into an oak tree and
pull your head away suddenly. The
illness was supposed to pass into
the hair remaining in the tree.
Once, people ascribed special
magical powers to various colors.
Red was an important color. per-
haps because it is the color of
blood and symbolic of life and
warmth. Medicine men in the old

days would smear their bodies with
red paint. more recently, physi-
clans wore red cloaks as trade
mark In order to prevent peck
marks resulting from smallpox,
the doctors of old were urged to
shine light through a red glass
onto the patient.
Even now, when people know
more than before about illness and
its treatment, some of the old su-
perstitions persist. Many of these
ancient beliefs are harmless and
some may even do good-if only as
a morale booster. But there is dan
ger when an old "home cure" pre-
vents a sick person from visiting a
doctor in the early stages of a dis
ease. Therefore, do not rely on
great-grandmother's so-called
remedies. See doctor if you, are

Courthouse Building For Nome
Eisenhower's message disclosed
that contract for construction of
new courthouse-postoffice at
Nome is scheduled for award in
March, with completion planned
by 1858. Money for the $1,100,000
project was appropriated at the
last session of Congress.
The recommended road pro-
gram includes completion of the
Taylor Highway, continued work
on the Denali and Sterling High
ways, extension of access roads
to New Homestead and industrial
areas, and AZ miles of asphalt
surfacing on the Richardson
Highway.
Money sought for public works

construction projects and five

But Nome beats anything I've seen for

Doesn't choke our throttle;
We have many unique numbers
Model-plus model-plus model
They may lack two matching tenders
Or an effective type of bumper;

Or been insured by the Triple A.

Otherwise known wood.
For trim, they may wear Tin Fin,
So long as the performance is good.
They aren't soft with plush uphlostering
Or saueakless comfort give;
But they nave one great outstanding feature
They speak of individual initiative.
When the summer breezes cease to be
And the big snow starts a-bloWln,
You don't need too much gas in the old tank
How far do you think you're goin'?
We don't need fancy -fried grill,
Or in other manner, fake it
When the Nome snow lies in heavy heaps
The point is: Will she make it?

Babson Park, Mass, Nov. %.
First, let me say that Russia's de-
cision as to the Egyptian situation
will be a great factor in the U. S.
business outlook for 1857.
Immediate Outlook For 1857
If Israel had not stirred up this
trouble, business in 1857 would be
fair,-with a maximum average de-
cline of not more than $50. The
stock market could, however, sell
nearer 900. Israel, however, has
upset any definite forecast at this
time
If Russia keeps out of the con-
fiict, we can depend upon the above
forecast. If however, the Middle
East should flare into a small war
and if the United States remains
neutral, 1857 could be the busiest
and most profitable year we have
ever had, with all basic commodi-
ties going higher.
What Has Happened To Date?
Israel has apparently already
pulled out, regretting that she ever
started the row. She now realizes
that if it should develop into real
war. she could be wiped out. Ger
tainly Israel is no longer a factor.
The United NATIONS has agreed to
nolice the Suez Canal. but not to
Uolice the worlds greatest oil re-
serves nearby. This may "save face"
for Britain and France: but the
Canal is not good to these coun-
tries if there is no oil to take
through it.
Milford chronicle., 1956-11-23
win Russia Remain NeutraI2

viii Russia Remain Neutral!
Thus far Russia has refused 10
do so and is threatening to help
Egypt and the Arab world by con-
tributing to Egypt airplanes, muni-
tions, and volunteers" as she
helped the North Koreans some
years ago. This could result in the
United States remaining neutral
for the present at least. Eisenhower
does not want another Korean
War. If we can long remain neu-
tral, l repeat that United States
business in 1857 should be excel
lent and that most stocks should
now be held rather than sold; espe-
cialiy hold the oils.
I cannot now foresee Russia and
the United States joining forces
even to bring about real peace.
Russia does not want stable world
conditions unless she is the "top
dog. To this President Eisenhower
would never agree even though
as a General-he realizes the hope
lessness of any nation winning an
other war; in fact, he believes all
nations engaged therein would lose.
Russia surely will not engage in
war directly, for fear Of losing the
satellites.
On the other hand. I can under
stand why President Eisenhower
would be willing to see England
and France WORRY for while. They
refused TO. take the advice OF onr
President and Mr.. nulIes. These
men both urged England and

Milford, Delaware
November 19, 1856
Dear Mr.. HolZmueller:
We would just like to tell you If
it hadn't been for your kindness, we
do not know how we would have
made out after our recent fire. AS
you know, we lost practically ev-
erything we owned when the house
we lived in was almost destroyed
by fire on November of this year.
As you also know, we had neglected
to pay the premium on our furni-
ture policy which had been due
about eleven months. However,
through your understanding kind
ness you paid US promptly for our
loss even though we had not paid
the premium on the policy. We
will never forget you for this act
of friendship and prompt settle
ment of our claim. Again many,
many thanks.
Very truiy yours,
Mrs. Arr:srr J. Bunting
