The latter seems to eclipse all former civil,, political and military discussions. . One statement that den. MacArthur made before the U.S. Senators is almost identical with what President Truman) has been skying: "The world is in a global ’ struggle. 1 believe we should dei fend every place from Communism. I believe we can." o' , 0 No man is a|l-wise, even though the country adinits that Gen. MacArthur is one of the world’s leading military authorities. If the General is not to blame for some of the mistakes in the Korean fighting, at least his military intelligence service gave him the wrong dopf about the Chinese Communists army that, out maneuvered UN forces in Manchuria. This set back cost many American lives, just at the time when the news leaked out that the boys would be home by Christmas. ; —_o o | Two high school graduates who wish- to continue their scholastic studies in preparation for degrees as school teachers, will be given outright gifts of S2OO each by the Lincoln, Parent-Teacher Memorial Scholarship Foundation, Inc.

Way To Prevent A Cold Is Yet To Be Found

THERE is no doubt about the fact of the cortimon cold. But just what it is depends,* lot on who is ’ describing It. For' one person, a \ cold, means a mere nasal stuffiness,, while another includes in /' ; his definition sore throat and in■v fla nnn at ion of the windpipe and voice-box. i \ in general, the common symptoms of cqlds include such things ns a feeing headache, sorenesp br roughness of the throat, and g discharge from the nose which is watery at first but shortly becomes thicker. The symptoms may last for a few days or may I for more than a week. For hundreds of years it has been thought by mhny that sucn thing* as draughts, iudden changes .in the temperature, wet feet, overeating, and emotional upsets may all bring on a common cold ] However, in most cases, a cold is (probably picked up from another person. Experiments have shown that cqlds can be caused by a virus that may be passed from one person to another. ' * i Unfortunately, up to the present tsme no real preventive for colds ? seems to have been found. There are many vaccines made up of killed bacteria that have been Ssed J in attempting to pre- — rent colds, but the results from their use have not been very good. ■ The so-jailed antihistamine drugs have been widely used in recent times in an attempt

in the first annual Church Music Festival at . Indiana University Sunday. Nine outstanding choirs will sing sacred; and liturgical music in a program that will in : elude presentations by individual musical groups and a mass chorus of 450 voices in the evening. Organised about eight years ago, the G.E. Choir is recognised as one of the outstanding industrial choral groups in the state, ably directed by David Em bier of this city. DecatuV is proud to be represented by the local musicians In the state festival. Thia ’newspaper extends good wishes to Director Embler and choir members on their latest achievement U ——o o—— ' Voice Os America:-**? The Voice of America has a catch in Us throat The White House recommended that some' $97,000,000 be appropriated for expansion of the Voice facilities and programs. The House appropriated a tenth of the amount and now the Senate appropriation* committee has agreed With the Hous*. The reason is not’, that •• I i ' * i r l| QI ' ]\p A ' the legislators believe the desired expansion can be accomplished with such a email amount, but reluctance to authorize those in charge of the, radio stems from politics. : | ) L Criticism has . been directed against the Voice because it is a part of the state department, igainst the officials who direct it, against actors, writers, editors and others who have worked on the broadcasts and against the methods of its operation. There has been no substantial criticism, in Congress or among thoughtful private citizens, of the purpose for which Voice exists. The purpose Is to tell America’s story to the wofld. Everyone agrees that this needs to be done. The Voice is not supposed to be tbe voice of the state department, nor of the White House, nor of the Congress nor any party. It is supposed to 'be the Voice of America. ■ ■ | ’ If the Voice of America is failing to accomplish its purpose, the failing can hardly be remedied by heckling and harassing it and pitching off its funds. The duty of its critics is to offer remedies for improvement,- so that the Voice can be strengthened apd pan speak and be heard with confidence. We need it. j I

colds, but the evidence that they have any such function is as yet limited, nor is it advisable. Do < not take , antihistamine drugs every day in the hope of preventing .colds, unless the doctor so advises. » Insofar as the treatment of a cold is concerned, rest in bed, the giving of plenty of fluids, and such 'drugs as the salicylates tend to make a patient-more comfortable. The antibiotic?.' drugs, sudh as penicillin, jare useful in preventing complications of colds, such a* in sections by germs ’ producing pneumonia or middle-ear infection, but they do little to rout the cold itself. The more we study this nui-sance-making >|llriesß, the more we \ are convinced that its causes are complex and ;jthat the same set of mhy be -produced by a whole host of factors rather than by a single causative agent. Much further study is needed before we can hope to find any single, effective remedy. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS K.S.D.: What causes the feet to burn and itch during the night? Answer: Itching and burning of the feet may be due to a circulatory disturbance, j The condition may also be due to a ringworm infection. Sometime*,, it is caused by a nervous disorder. Il 1 . You are in need of a thorough study by your physician to determine the cause before proper treatment can be prescribed.”

When dry, wet it again and repeat the process over and over. It may take a little time, but tis a cure that will not in any way injure the wearing quality of the material. 4 * Shoe Lacee u If the metal tips come off the shoe laces, dip the} ends of the laces into mucilage.

Archbold. Research Wqrk in Ohio shows that spittle bugs can | and do reduce the hay crop from 25 to 50 percent Spittle bugs can be effictively controlled by spraying or dusting with benzene-hexa-chloride, usually called B. H. C. Three pints of B. H. C. llpercent emulsion concentrate can be applied with a week type sprayer. The B. H. C. should be mixed .with 10 to .15 gallon of water. y' If weed killer solutions have been used s in the sprayer, it should be cleaned well before used on the clover and alfalfa. A onepercent B. H- C. dust may be applied with a ground duster or by plane equiped with a duster. The field dusted or sprayed should not be pastured for at least two weeks after treatments.
