Facts For Sufferers
Of Winter NosebIeed

When cold weather sets in do
you suddenly develop trouble with
nosebleeds?
Well, this weeks health tip from
the Minnesota State Medical AS
sociation tells us that nosebleed
occurs much more frequently dur
ing cold weather. This is partly
due to the greater prevalence of
sinusitis and colds which irritate
and congest the delicate, blood
filled mucous membranes of the
nose.
Sometimes nosebleed can be
started just by blowing the nose
too vigorously, says the Associa-
ton. Obviously, also, one should
never pick at crusts of mucus in
the nose.
Another contributing factor in
the development of nosebleed in
the winter is the greater dryness
of the atmosphere, plus the arti-
ficial drying that may result from
overheating of homes and offices.
What can you do to prevent
winter nosebleed?
Well, the Association suggests
you might find it helpful to apply
cold cream or petroleum jelly to
the inside of each nostril. This
should be done gently, using a cot
ton swab or the tip of the little
finger, if the nail is not too long.
This treatment could be done both
morning and ngiht.
It's not necessary to deposit the
cold cream or petroleum jelly too
deeply, advises the Association.
BY applying 1t only as deeply as
comfortable, it will spread itself
over the area gradually.
However, the Association warns
that recurrent nosebleed should re-
ceieve careful medical attention,
and that there is no substitute for
a visit with your personal doctor
about this problem.

SUMMARY

Growing up is more than blowing
out
One more birthday candle every
year.
It's learning beyond doubt
That many little things which
once seemed dear
Are valueless - that you yourself
are somewhat less
Than perfect - that the greatest
measure
OF happiness
Is weighed in giving other people
pleasure.
Growing up is finding you can
lose a lover
And recover.

THIS NJ THAT
By Hazel Underwood

CAN you SAY?-
Can you say in parting with
the day that's slipping fast
That you helped a single person
Of the many you have passed?
Is single life rejoicing over
what you did or said?
Does someone whose hopes were fading
now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day or lose it,
was it well or poorly spent?
Did you leave trend of kindness
or a scar Of discomfort?
AS you close your eyes in slumber,
do you think that God would say
You have made the world much better for
the life you've lived today?-Anon

Search for q Paradise
In Pacific Gets Tough

The copra industry, hard hit
by a BEETLE invasion Of Wallis's
coconut palms, is being re-
vived. Coffee planting is under
way.
Administrators Of the pro-
gram, however, do not expect
any sudden transformation in
the islanders everyday lives. In
fact, the territorial agreement
specifically provides that Gus
toms be protected.
DevOut Church -GOers
These customs form a curious
mixture Of practices inherited
from pagan Polynesian ances-
tors and the Christian faith
introduced by MariSt mission
aries in the 1830's. The people
of Wallis and Futuna are devout
church-goers. Group activities
are geared to the Roman Cath
olic calendar.
At the same time. many VII
layers cling to the old ceremo-
nies, repeat the legends, and
abide by the taboos of the Poly
nesian past. Like their fathers
and grandfathers, they live in
thatched huts, sleep on mats,
and prepare their food in prim-
tive earth ovens.

New Road Is There If You Dare

At present, a traveller wish
ing to motor from Alaska to
TERRA del Fuego-Argentina's S
southernmost tip-would have
to make only one short sea
crossing. This would be from
Panama to Buenav entura,
Cartagena or Barranquilla in
Columbia, or La Guaira in Ven
eZuela.
Cost Of crossing, including
the price of a stateroom and
transportation for an automo-
bile, would average about, $270.

Accommodations for tourists
on a journey from Northern
Mexico to Argentina range
from non existent through

luxurious. But there are plenty
of gasoline and repair facilities
along the way and, in Mexico
and Central America at least,
the traveller is never far from
a major capital.

The old-fashioned paradise"
in the Pacific, extolled in older
books and far-out television, is
really becoming harder and
harder to find.
The world and its ways have
been brought to most of the
palm-fringed isles and coral
atolls by two global wars and
spreading airlines. The urge to
modernize has even reached
the remote and little-known
French dependency Of Wallis
and Futuna.
There, some 10000 easy-going
Polynesians, long content to
fish a little and gather the
fruits of tropical abundance,
are beginning to face the chal-
lenge Of political and economic
change.
Wallis and Futuna are two
small island groups separated
from each other by 100 miles
Of water, the National Geo
graphic Society points out.
Far Away
Their position, northeast Of
the Fits and west of Samoa,
places them about as far from
France as 1t is possible to be.
But with territorial rank, the
inhabitants Of Wallis and Fu-
tuna gained full rights as
French citizens. Already they
receive financial aid from the

works.

Alcoholics Anonymous is e
fellowship of men and womer
who share their experience,
strength and hope with each
other in order to solve their
common problem and to help
others recover from alcoholism
The only requirement for
membership is a desire to stop
drinking. There are no dues or
fees and A.A. is not allied with
any other organization. The
primary purpose of its mem
bers is to stay sober and to
help other alcoholics achieve
sobriety.
Since the Fellowship was
founded in 1885, membership
has grown to more than 300,-
coo persons in more than 5000
local groups throughout the
world.
