March of Dimes Campaign in Progress The growing nationwide network of March of Dimesfinanced centers increased by 11 during 1964. A total of 50 centers and clinics for birth defects and 30 for arthritis bring highest quality medical care to victims of these crippling afflictions. These centers focus on the complex needs of each patient through the medical team approach, research and teaching. This approach was pioneered in development of the polio respiratory centers which have been reduced to four following the elimination of this disease as a public health problem in the United States. Continued growth of the center program in areas of need depends on public support of the annual March of Dimes fundraising campaign in January. The victory over polio proved that an aroused public working with science can conquer disease. All would like to disprove the statement made in the tele vision ad about relief of arthritis ‘There is No cure, but there is ." Your contribution may help to someday make this possible.

The company specializes in plastic topped wooden dining furniture. Construction on the plant is schedulec^to start next fall and will cost a total of $3.5 million and provide a manufacturing area of about 200,000 square feet on a 55-acre plot. It is estimated the plant may eventually employ/500 persons. This is tfte first expansion of the company outside of Indiana. Keller first became interested in Virginia as a plant location site after he and his family had vacationed here four years ago. At that time he talked with the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce and later contacted the State Division of Industrial Development and Planning. The state organization put Keller in touch with the Culpeper Industrial Corporation, which played an important part in the final decision.

Letter To Editor Rappahannock News Washington, Virginia Dear Editor-. I hope that everyone who owns property and everyone who hopes to own property in Rappahannock County will read the proposed Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance I think that anyone who reads it will be alarmed enough to come to the hearing on January 29 at 10 a.m. in the Court House. Sincerely yours, Mary R. Miller Madison County Youth 4-H Exchangee in India The city of Madras, in India "is probably the cleanest and prettiest of any I have visited in this country," says Robert Jenkins, a delegate to India under the 4-H sponsored International Farm Youth Exchange program. Jenkins, 23, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Jen kins of Graves Mill in Madison County. He arrived in northern India in September. Since then, he has been mov ing further south, living for about a month in different re gions. He will continue to make these visits around the country until he returns to the United States in March. "There are many differences between the North and South, just as there are in our coun try," he notes. Madras, he says, is a coastal city with a long, sandy beach along the Bay of Bengal. Both the city and state of Madras are famed for their many beaut iful Hindu temples. "The temples are built of stone, with high fort-like walls along which are tall towers," says the 4-H IFYE delegate. "An art student’s dream, the towers—sometimes 100 feet high—are covered from top to bottom with fancy carvings "Inside the temple walls are the buildings, also decorated with fancy works of sculpture housing the statues of the Hindu gods, which the people come to worship. The temples all date back to at least 600 A%D. There are no temples so large or so beautiful in northern India." Another difference in the South, says Jenkins, is that cropping can be carried on the year around. Rice, peanuts, and sugar cane are the main crops. The area has the highest sugar cane yields ol any area of India. The great quantity grown permits India to be the world’s largest expo r ter of peanuts, Jenkins notes. “Some of the better farmers who use irrigation are getting three crops of rice per year, says the visitor. "The rainsexcept for a little in late Nc vember and early Decemberconve only during the Monsson, in June, July and September, "Irrigation facilities her< are much better than in other parts of India I have visited, The government has helped farmers build irrigation dams and lots of farmers have dug irrigation wells on their owr initiative. Even though some oi the irrigation methods are somewhat primitive, the farmers get the job done becaus* they know their crops depend on it." Jenkins, who graduated from VPI in 1963 with a degree ir animal science, was ar assistant county agent trainee before going to India. He was an outstanding 4-H club member for 12 years, serving as president of his local club and giving public demonstrations in livestock feeding and judging. Upon his return to this cour try in March, Jenkins will spend the next two months speaking and showing slides of his Indian visit to interested groups. Other Virginians now abroad under the 4-H sponsored IFYE program, and the countries they are in, are: Hunter Spence Virginia Beach, Thailand; and Barbara Woore, Frederick County, Peru, Jean Thomas of Floyd has recently returned Prom Ireland.

Imminent Conversion— A party of clergymen were attending a Presbyterian conference in Scotland. Several of them set off to explore the district. Presently they came to a river with a temporary bridge. Not seeing a notice that said it was unsafe, they began to cross it. The Bridge Keeper ran after them in protest. ‘It is all right", declared the spokesman not understanding the reason for the old man’s haste, “we’re Presbyterians from the conference.” “I’m no caring about that," was the reply, “but if ye dinna get off the bridge you’ll all be Baptists!" attribute it merely to growing older. “But a real effort will be made in February to create a greater awareness of these symptoms and also to get more people to pay them heed.” Those members from this county participating in the Speakers Bureau for this intensive educational campaign (with no solicitation involved) include; Dr. John P. Snead, IV, Sperryville; Mrs. W. A. Gentry, Flint Hill; Roy L. Reeve, Sperryville; Rev.

Gail Updike, Reporter Smokey Soya: /AMATCH HAS A") [ HEAD BUT NO < osl The Facts About Zoning Protect your rights through orderly com\ munity growth ... ( Condensed from Better Farming Methods , Dr. Louis A. Wolf anger, Michigan State University Contributed by C. E. Johnson, Jr. /''XNE OF the most controversial issues facing many rural people today is property zoning and the pros and cons are often hotly debated. Change is a law of life. Nothing remains fixed for long. As property changes hands in your neighborhood, do you know what the new owners will do? If heirs, will they continue the same use? If strangers, what use will they make of the property? Without some type of protection, such as provided by zoning, almost anything can happen in your community. Everyone is then virtually free to use his property as he pleases — the present owner as well as future strangers — and they may do so with little regard for the effect it may have upon you and your neighbors. Your community can be invaded overnight by any one of scores of hurtful property uses — a slipshod trailer camp, a junkyard, a used-car lot, a honkey tonk, a go-cart track, a dump, a clutter of billboards, a series of jerry-built shacks. The use can ruin the value of your property. It can boost taxes to take care of the extra traffic, policing, health, fire or other problems which such uses often impose. It can bring unwelcome smoke, noise, smell, dust or other offensive conditions. It can rob you of the pleasure you now have in your property and your community. Location Is No Protection You aren’t safe from such hurts because of your location or some other reason. Perhaps you have gotton by so far. Drive in almost any direction. You’ll soon see examples of how others have been hurt, some surprisingly near your neighborhood. You won’t have very definite assurance as to the future of your neighborhood until it is zoned. Until then you are vulnerable Joi almost anything. ’ When a county or township rones (township zoning is permitted in some of the states), it first appoints a planning or zoning board of citizens to make the necessary studies and serve as a study >r recommending agency. Taking into account existing property uses, the resources of the area, trends of development, and other pertinent facts, the board then proposes a plan for future developments, and indicates the zoning districts into which it recommends the county or township be dividFollowing public hearings, the proposals are submitted to the adoption or^/ejection. Provision is also usually made at some point for either a mandatory or optional vote by the electorate. Although zoning districts customarily take their name from the chief use of property — such as residential or agricultural — each district is really a combination oi association of compatible uses. Residential districts, for example, include schools, churches, libraries and other property uses, as well as homes. Similarly, agricultural districts are not limited to farming, but also usually provide for nonfarm homes, some types of commercial enterprises, and other activities considered desirable for the district. Existing Property Use Continues Zoning is not retroactive. It “stops” no existing use of property. Any legitimate activity being carried on when an ordinance becomes effective may be continued indefinitely at the pleasure of the property owner, even though it may not be in harmony with the purpose of the district. However, any new uses of this nature may be restricted; otherwise the primary purpose of zoning would be defeated. This does not necessarily mean, though, that all such uses are entirely exed. county or board foi eluded from the area. Provision may be made for them in othei districts ■where they do fit in oi clash least with other property uses. Zoning is not “against” any rightful use of property. Its aims are perhaps best expressed by a simple Dutch saying: “A place for everything, but all things in their right place.” One of the most widespread mistaken beliefs is that zoning imposes building restrictions, that it sets the minimum cost of buildings, and requires “permits” for even the simplest repairs or improvements. Building Standards Not Involved Nothing is farther from the truth. Zoning is NOT concerned with construction standards; with how, or of what materials buildings are constructed. This is the business of building codes. Zoning is only concerned with use., of property — how land and buildings are best utilized in the interest of property owners. Perhaps the misconception persists because such restrictions are often included in restricted subdivisions, where however, they are matters of pri\ ate contract and agreement — not public law. Some of the limitations which zoning places on certain uses of property have naturally led to various reactions. “I want the right to use my property as I please,” and “No one is going to tell me how I can use my property” are oft-heard expressions. Such reactions are understandable. But the' logic is not, if you wish to protect your property — if you want some definite assurance regarding future developments. But if you have no such interests and prefer leaving your future largely to chance, then zoning is not for you. Obviously, to reach any goal, appropriate standards must be set and limitations agreed upon. This is the price of all good order when people choose to live together in reasonable peace and harmony. Purpose Isn't To Take Away Rights While zoning is often charged as being “dictatorship,” and as depriving property owners of the “right” to use their property as they please, the facts arc that most properties are generally zoned foi the very purposes which the average property owner would voluntarily choose anyway if there were no zoning! This is bound to be so because property logically dedicated to homes is of course zoned residential; lands best used primarily for farming and associated uses as agricultural; and so on for all other types of land. In reality, zoning bears more heavily upon the I-don’t-care individual and the property ownei bent upon exploiting his situation regardless, of the effect upon the community than it does on the average citizen.Community-minded citizens show consideration foi their neighbors. They tcam-ir with developments around them The acid test of a zoning ordinance is the reasonableness of it! provisions under existing conditions. This means all things an considered. Courts are quick tc invalidate any requirement which is arbitrary, or capricious, or nol in line with the general well-being of the community. This limitator acts to keep zoning rational and within the bounds of commor sense; and it protects the property owner from willful land unjust regulations. Because local conditions are often varied, zoning sometimes imposes unintentional hardship on some property owner if required to conform to the strict terms of the ordinance. State Zoning Acts therefore require every county or township to appoint a Zoning Board of Appeals made up of fellow citizens CLORE FUNERAL HOME "The Home of Thoughtful Service" Culpeper, Va. Phone 825-2361 Ambulance Service With Oxygen So whom the property owner can sum for special exceptions. There . boards are empowered to grant variances to permit owners to ■nake proper use of their property, rhey thus serve as a safety valve So the ordinance. Employing zoning chiefly, to :heck future undesirable develjpments is a negative aim. Zonng is better used as a communityJuilding tool. First of all, zoning can help preserve what is good and desirable in each community in the area. Unless guarded by guidelines to direct the flow of human activity into and over them, communities tend to erode like unprotected farm land. One bad use of property sometimes hurts an entire community. Zoning replaces chance, uncertainty and the unknown with surety and purpose. Haphazard growth soon leads to chaos, waste and distress in the use of property.' - Zoning promotes community stability. Everyone prefers his home, farm, business — whatever investment he may have — in a stable community. Zoning facilitates the development of systems — good road systems, good fire protection systems, good policing systems — in contrast to stop-gap measures which hit-and-miss developments often impose. Zoning provides a means to fit “objectionable” property uses (the noisemnkers, the dust-makers, the odor-makers, and other problematic property uses) into their proper place in the area. Zoning is a lure for good taxpaving industry. Modern industry is now as choosey as the home owner in demanding protection from injurious uses of property in its neighborhood. Zoning Saves T«e* Zoning can also save taxes. Knowing prospective future developments, public funds are better used for positive, constructive measures designed to serve the entire community, and not merely to patch up conditions imposed by poor or misuse of some properties. When should a county or township zone? The answer — before it is too late. Zoning is often dismissed on the grounds: “We have no problems. Why zone until we do?” No thinking citizen can indulge in greater self-deception, since zoning, you’ll recall, is not retroactive. It cannot recapturp the desirable quality of an unspoiled neighborhood. It cannot readily restore the good order of a hodgepodge community. The time to zone is before problems arise, or before more problems occur, if your community is already afflicted. | \nimal Husbandman Here D_ _ C. C.

Division of Congenital Malformations, The National Foundation-March of Dimes A ycung wife recently asked me: “Why is everyone ? making ruch a fuss about drugs and pregnancy today? My mother said that when she was carrying me, 25 years ago, she never heard any of the warnings about drugs mat. we near nuw. ■ That’s true. Only about a eneration ago, we did not have the variety of pain-relieving drugs that we now have. Thus we did not encounter the potential hazards that some of these drugs hold for a pregnant woman. Today, there are scientific studies which show that some UlUgd given vu a pregnant woman produce birth defects in her u nborn child. Thalidomide is only one of these. There are others, and as more scientific studies are done, the list will surely grow. Why? One of the reasons is that Dr. Apgar aiinuugii meuiicti dviciivc long been aware of the fact that just about everything a pregnant woman eats, or drinks, or inhales, or manufactures in her body processes, is transmitted, via the placenta, to the blood stream of her unborn child, we still are in the dark about how these'substances affect the baby once they get through the placenta. This changes some of the thinking about the causes of birth defects. Formerly, many biologists attributed almost every malformation in a newborn baby to heredity. Today, we know that there is a fantastic array of newly discovered .•hemicals in our lives that were not there a generation ago—a wide variety of drugs, insecticides, sprays of all kinds. Science is beginning to amass evidence of the possible effects of these chemicals. This does not mean that heredity does not play a part in birth defects. The role of heredity is certainly important in some birth defects. It is probably important in some degree in all birth defects. Environment is as important as heredity. Drug intake by the mother is a part of the physical environment of her unborn child There are about a dozen drugs today which apparently are related to malformations. A number of new drugs act by blocking enzymes, the minute' orotein substances whose specific action is to promote chemical changes in the body. Therefore, while a drug might do the work it was designed for in the body of a pregnant woman, this same drug crosses through the placenta, and, in some instances, wrecks or disturbs the growth processes in the embryo or fetus. Thus, a malformed child is born. What can a pregnant woman do to protect herself and her unborn child? The National FoundationMarch of Dimes, which has embarked on a nationwide research program to find the causes, and preventives for a wide variety of birth defects, suggests this rule for any young wife who thinks she might be pregnant: Do not take any drugs at all—no pills, potions, elixirs, tablets, syrups—unless they are given to you by your doctor FOR USE AT THIS TIME. There are many instances where a physician will withhold a prescription for a certain drug if he thinks a woman is pregnant. It is incredible how such a simple rule could be misinterpreted. Here are some of the questions women have asked me about this rule: dkups AND xLr-MEDICATION tor pregnant women represent a hazard that may lead to birth defects. Take no drugs uniats prateribad by your physician. Q: But I’m not taking any drugs. I got these pills at the drugstore without a prescription. They’re all right, aren’t they? A: Absolutely not! Unless your doctor told you to take those pills AT THIS TIME, throw them out. Q: But I only took a couple pills that the doctor gave my husband. They’re all right, aren't they? A: This can be disastrous. In at least one thalidomide tragedy in this country, the woman took the pills which a doctor prescribed months before for her husband, not for her. Q: How about vitamin pills? Are they drugs? A: Vitamin pills contain substances classed as drugs. Unless your doctor gave them to you for use at this time, better leave them alone.

Slow Down When Roads Are Wet For years safety people have been telling drivers to slow down when roads are wet. They knew and still do that the reason was the lack of ccptrol over a vehicle on wet road surface—but, they didn’t know why! They do now! The answer came out of the space age during the solving of a tough scientific problem related to missiles and their need to know where they are in relation to the earth. ln_qther words, a matter totally unrelated to our earthbound problem of 6afe vehicle operation on wet roads. By application of the principles discovered they found a car’s wheels “hydroplane" on wet surfaces. That is, at around 50 mph they found the tire surfaces actually leave the road if there is as much as 1/16 of an inch of moisture on the road surface. The tire pressure had a part in the study and it appears the lower the tire pressure, and the faster the speed, the farther off the road surface does the vehicle “hydroplane”. They prove it with high speed photo studies too. So it's no wonder you can’t steer or fully control a vehicle at normal speeds in wet weather — you see, the doggone wheels aren’t on the ground. Now you Know too--so heed the advice! Slow down in wet weather. _. “It is to be hoped that no one ever requests an opinion on the Ten Commandments from the U. S. Supreme Court.” From Aztec, N.

In addition, fire will damage or destroy olio homes. 14 schools, eight churches, five hospitals and hundreds of stores and factories. according to figures validated by the National Fire Protection Association. These shocking figures will he stressed throughout the fall and winter by responsible civic organizations and community leaders to create greater public understanding of the tragic losses caused by fire — and to underscore how personally involved is e\ ery citizen. "Perhaps the most encouraging thing in our fight against fire damages is the great progress made by medicine in the treatment of burns." said W. O. Klson. medical research direitor. Bauer & Black division, Kendall Company. "In the past 25 years, doctors and scientists made amazing advances in their knowledge of burn treatment, and in perfecting techniques and equipment to speed recovery." Elson said. "Prior to 1941. burns were treated with ointments and selves, and sadly, with a lack of icalization of the greatest VIMIMI MIMIMt Ml /..VI Ml Ml AAt Ml. danger of all — infection. Perhaps the most important publicservice advice I could give to anyone who suffers a burn is to see a doctor immediately. Today’s doctor is well aware that burns should be treated as open wounds, subject to the same ! great danger of Infection. “To aid doctors,” said Elson, "near-miraculous new bandages have been created especially for burn treatment. One Is the new 'mercy dressing' called 'Telfa' which can be applied directly to a burn or other open wound. “Covered with a thin, perforated layer of plastic, 'Telfa' actually 'breathes' by allowing free ventilation and drainage, but preventing the absorbent fiber from adhering to the wound. ! "One new application is a rectangular self-adhering pad which requires no adhesive tape to hold It in place; specially deJ signed for larger wounds and burns, it can be removed as easily as it is applied.” Other medical advances in burn treatment pointed out by Elson include great progress In treatment of shock, use of whole blood and blood plasma to promote rapid recovery, and long strides in transplanting of skin to cover wounds and to minimize burn scars.

Most of these Injuries need not happen, if skiers will observe a few common sense safety precautions. ■ Today’s Health, the magazine of the American Medical Association, offers ten safety tips for skiers. 1. Check your equipment before starting. 2. Take the run that really suits your skiing ability. 3. Look Bbth ways before starting, entering a new run, or turning. 4. Take a course as far as possible from other skiers. 5. Do not walk on the runs in ski boots or without skis. 6. Anticipate the other skier’s actions,_ 7. Never stop in mid-slope or trial. 8. Always fill in the snow dug out by a fall. 9. Quit a half-hour earlier than you planned. 10. Read the snow report, pay attention to signs and the suggestions of the Ski Patrol. Most of these ten tips can be summed up in one short phrase — Ski under control. .Even experienced skiers some times have accidents, but the beginner who zips down a slope at speeds far beyond his ability to stop or turn is much more likely to get hurt. Injuries are less frequent in skiers who are in good physical condition, are skilled and have good equipment. As in any strenuous sport, it also is important to have a physical checkup before participating. Any ski manual can suggest some exercises that can be performed in the home for a few weeks prior to the ski vacation that will strength en the important muscles and make skiing more fun as well as safer.

Waters .1 — By Doris Daugherty Most guides for budget-wise food buymanship start with these three rules--planning your rnenus, making a list, and keeping it flexible. These are good rules but occasionally I wonder if they don’t leave out some very important things. For one thing, look at that advice about a shopping list. It’s good advice, but only one out of three of us goes to the trouble of making a list. Only half of those who do make, a list have a complete list with brands, prices, quality, and amounts. As a result, more than 75 percent of our buying decisions are made within the store. We make a decision every minute and a half we’re in the store, and this counts walking time, chatting time, and checkout time. So, choosing your store is important too. In almost all! cases, a store prechooses food items for you. You then pick from their selection. Since most stores like to stay within a fairly narrow price and quality range, the store you choose partly decides what you can buy—price-wise and quality-wise. Most stores today try to create an “image* in our minds. It may be a low price image, a quality image, a convenience image, or a service image. Once they decide which image they want, they try to maintain it in our minds. So, look at stores and decide what image they’re trying to create, whether they’re actually succeeding in this, and which one suits you best. ii o aiso interesting to note that stores tend to emphasize different departments. One may spend extra time on and push his meat department. Another may have an exceptional produce department. Still another may tend to emphasize dry groceries. This, in turn, may be a good reason for “store-hopping" or looking at departments as well as stores. The usual rules for food shopping are good. If followed, they will help balance that food budget. Yet, an even more basic rule is to choose your store carefully. Ask yourself, "Does it carry the quality and items I want? Are the prices favorable to me? What departments does it emphasize? Which store (or stores) is best for me?" This, too, is budgetwise food buymanship.

Mail carriers are not required to make deliveries on uncleared roads or highways. Patrons are also reminded of their responsibility to keep approaches to their mail boxes cleared of obstructions, including snow. Carriers are not required to deliver mail if the approach to the bdx is not cleared. Mail may be withheld until approach is accessible, or the mail box may be temporarily re-located. The carrier is not expected to get out of his vehicle to make a delivery. Pinkeye affects cattle of all ages and breeds, though whitefaced cattle seem more susceptible than others.

Phone 347-14Q0 I that sheep will be more profli able If lamb losses ar< reduced. In the past, more than onefourth of the lambs born ii Virginia have died before market time. Sheep producer £ who give more attention tc management will lose few lambs, but some poorly managed flocks may lose up tc one-third of the lambs. Each lamb lost means about $20 less return from the sheep operation. For the U. S., this means a loss of well over on< million dollars a year. Much of this loss can be prevented by closer attention to mat agement details, believes Allen. For instance, don't let ewes get wet near lambing time. During the month before lamb ing keep the sheep close to a shelter so they can get protection from bad weather. Feed them some grain and hay before lambing to prevent lambing paralysis in the ewe and to iftsure a milk supply and stronger lambs at birth. Be sure ewes don't crowd through narrow doors or gates or cross sills or ditches near lambing time. v Some sheepmen pick out, ewes that will lamb in the next few days to a week. These are kept in small groups of 25 ewes or less so they can be watched closely and will not be crowded or knocked around by other sheep. When the lambs are born, move the ewe and her lambs to a lambing pen. Dip the lamb’s navel cord in iodine and see that he nurses within the first hour. If t h e weather is very cold, dry the lamb off and put him under a heat lamp. In case the ewe does not have milk, try to get some milk from another ewe that has just lambed. If the •lamb must be fed from a bottle or spoon, use condensed or fresh milk warmed to body temperature. Feed the lamb a small amount, but feed him often. Give the ewe wpter and hay the day she lambs, but don't start feeding grain until the second day. i ne ewe ana iamD snouia stay in the lambing pen two to four days, depending on the strengtl of the lamb. Thev should be moved from lambing pens to ; small group of ewes wit! lambs of about the same age. Most lamb losses occur during the first two weeks, so this small grouping will allow close observation of lambs, and will let you gradually increase the ewes’ ration. Ewes and lambs can then be moved and put in with larger groups of lambs where a creep feeder has been provided. Sheep need close attention at lambing time, says Allen, but they give a high return for this extra attention. ••••***••*•* BCIA Bulls on Feed Test A bunch of 126 young bulls on a feed test at Culpeper are making pigs of themselves!

Its name is carbon tetrachloride. Using it improperly can kill you. / For years pdople have used carbon tet to remove spots from clothing, to clean upholstery and to remove grease from stoves. For years people > have become violently ill and died because they didn't know carbon tet is dangerous. t Carbon tetrachloride is one of the most toxic household substances known. Swallowing it or absorbing it through the skin may cause death. Still it remains a household.favorite since it is not‘ flammable and is effective in cleaning. Carbon tet is most dangerous when inhaled as a vapor. It evaporates quickly when exposed to air and swiftly poisons its victim. There is usually no warning as the deadly vapor works, and symptoms of illness don’t appear until after the danger has been done. The vapor affects the brain and liver and sometimes stops the kidney functions. Most vicr tims of carbon tet poisoning die from kidney failure. For spme unknown reason alcohol in the blood makes a person far more susceptible to carbon tet poisoning. Many cases of carbon tet poisoning go unreported each year because victims forget to mention they were using carbon tet. Safety officials have repeatedly warned people not to use the substance. They point out that industry has banned it as a solvent because so many workers have been poisoned. To be safe, never use carbon tet in a closed room, and never Iliquor. Better still, don’t use carbon tetrachloride at all around the house. Leave it to the professionals in industry. test of 2.87 pounds, a weight per day of age of 2.52 pounds and an average type score of 13.3 (just above middle choice).

Health and Safety Tips Old King Cold Is a kingsized troublemaker. The American Medical Association's new pamphlet on the common cold reports that Old King Cold costs the United States $5 billion annually In lost wages, lostproduction and medical expenses. MoreJhan 150 million days per year are lost from our work force. More than 20 million people suffer Jrom colds on any given wintry day/THe common cold is the most costly ailment In our country, as well as in most other countries. The common cold is defined as an acute upper reppiratorv tract Inflammation that ordinarily is_ commijnTc IT51 a ancT iVcaused by virusesT But this definition has little meaning since the popular use of the word "cold” includes everything from a minor sniffle and a nasal obstruction to a disabling illness similar to influenza. A number of viruses produce the symptoms we call a cold, possibly as many as a hundred. The true cold is an infection with one or more viruses. Current research seems to indicate that colds are harder to catch than has been thought In controlled studies, close contact for several hours was necessary before cross infect ion occurred. Fresh colds appear to be more contagious than order ones, and children's colds "have been shown to be more contagious than those of adults. Even apparently well persons may harbor cold viruses and may infect others. Low temperatures and inclement weather, in themselves, probably have little to do with precipitating colds. Dampness and chill have been suspected of causing colds, but experimental evidence now indicates that they are probably only triggering factors. The relative humidity of the air may be important, however. mere is a sharp rise in Incidence of colds at the time the winter heating season begins. The lowered humidity in heated rooms causes the dry nose and throat which contributes to susceptibility to infection. The nose, throat and lungs work better when the air that is breathed has a relative humidity of about 45 per cent. Dry mucous membranes cannot clean themselves by action of their cilia the hairlike structures that move mucus upward out of the respiratory tract. As a result they become more vulnerable to invasion by cold viruses. No specific treatment, so far available, is effective against the cold virus. Any treatment must be directed toward relief of the symptoms and prevention of complications. The wonder drugs—antibiotics and sulfas—have no effect on viruses. They should be used only under medical supervision for the control of complicating bacterial infections. Bed rest, or at least inactivity in a controlled environment, is helpful. Your doctor may suggest mild medication to help allay the discomfort. Those who have repeated colds should investigate the possibility of allergies being mistaken for colds. Current United States farm production in 1963 was 4 percent above the previous record, according to the North Dakota State University College of Agriculture. At the Battle of the Marne, 1918, getting their first taste of combat, American troops repulsed crack German troops, keeping them out of Paris. cold vaccljies are of little* value, since so many viruses cause colds and effective vaccines have been developed for1 so few of the viruses producing cold symptoms. ; Solid evidence Is lacking to' demonstrate that “natural”, foods, taking vitamin supple-' ments, special types of clothing, or forced exposure to sunlight and fresh air have any effect on susceptibility to cold 8. Colds are spread by Intimate personal contact. A person with a cold should practice good contagion preventing techniques. Coughs and sneezes should be covered'. Frequent hand washing Is help ful. The victim of a cold should have his own drinking glass, towels and other personal Items. Above all, he should stay away from other people. So far medical science has not been able to break through the guard of Old King Cold. All that can be hoped for is symptomatic treatment t o make one feel better until the cold goes away and as much care as possible to prevent spread to others. Soc. Security Notes Persons who are receiving monthly social security checks and whose earnings for 1964 were over $1200 (in wages or business profits) must file an annual report with the Social Security Administration, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, district manager in Winchester, Va. The deadline for filing 1964 reports is April 15, 1965. Late reports may cause a delay in payments, or possible loss of a benefit check.

The earnings report Is now In card from which permits rapid analysis of the Information by electronic equipment. As estimate of 1965 earnings Is included on the report, and will govern the payment of 1965 benefits. According to law, wage or business earnings over $1200 In a year usually means that some benefit payments will be withheld. The annual reports will be used to determine whether 1965 social security payments were correct. They will also be examined to determine whether 1964 earnings make the individual eligible for an increase In monthly payments.
