But until • the research iboratory yields the answer, the Common cold is still with us and Apparently becoming more comlon than ever, the educational Committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out in ^EALTH TALK. The common cold is as baffling the elusive virus believed responsible for it. While the symptoms in the young, * middle-aged and old are alike -- sore throat, " fever, dripping nose land inflamed eyes--the source of the infection seems to vary. Chilling, exposure to sudden Weather changes, lack of sleep, tatigue, drafts, irritating dusts *Wh& gases, worry and anxiety are all factors linked, with the common cold. When the body resistance is low, and its natural defenses weakened, the crafty virus sets up housekeeping. What happens? One of the most miserable afflictions to beset man develops. Aches and pain are associated with the cold. You can't localize them. You ache all over. You / taeeze -- not once -- but several wmes. You have trouble breathing. Your nose drips mucus and becomes sore and inflamed from "blowing." Your eyes look sick and watery. Your temperature goes up, and you may develop a cough. - You not only feel sick, but are and look it. In other words, you feel and look like a mess. You may be one of those unfortunates whose susceptibility to the common cold includes a bout of laryngitis. You may lose your voice for a time, or you may acquire the tonal quality of speech that sounds like sand-paper being rubbed on sand-paper. Causes of disease and answers for their prevention and cure are emerging from the research laboratory constantly. But the ^ahifty virus causing the cold eludes the scientific sleuths pursuing it. The antibiotic drugs, such as penicillin and aureomycin have been tried with little Success in the management of the cold. And they can be dangerous too, since they do not seem to affect the virus causing the cold, but tend to interfere 'with the body's natural defenses. And, should secondary infection set in, jgjiJheir effectiveness is lessened. How common are . colds? A recent study showed that if you're average you can expect One cold a year; some of you Will have three or four colds, While those of you forming the tjiost susceptible group will have $ix. And the elusive virus doesn't Stop with this common approach. . Not only does he leave you with the cold, but he sets you up as Render prey ijor the army of bacteria that cause pneumonia, meningit j., bronchitis and sinus infections. • That is why you can't. ignore the common cold. Bed rest is still the best care for this affliction.

KIT EXPLAINS THREAT BIOLOGICAL WARFARE RINGWOOD NEWS By Mrs. George Shepard A new kit has been developed by the Federal Civil Defense administration to explain the threat of biological warfare and set forth means of counteracting its effects on people, livestock and crops. The kit was designed to pro* vide fundamental information to the general public in cities and rural areas through use of four film strips with accompanying sound records, six FCDA publications and a special instruction leaflet. The film strips portray the steps civil defense would use to offset biological warfare aimed at people, plants, crops and animals. \ The publications are entitled: "What You Should Know About Biological Warfare," "What the Farmer Should Know About Biological Warfare," "Civil Defense Against Biological Warfare," "Rural Family Defense," "The Veterinarian in Civil Defense," and "The States, Counties, Cities, and Civil Defense." The instruction leaflet contains introductory remarks for use in presenting each film strip, suggestions for handling publicity and sample radio and' TV announcements.
