Two Nations Hold Top Economic Spots

WASHINGTON UPI — Mexico and Venezula hold the most favorable economic positions within the Alliance for a Progress. Argentina, Brazil and Chile occupy the least favorable . spots . This was among findings in a recent report prepared by the Inter - American Committee on tiie Alliance for Progress CIAP. The report was based on the planning and development.programs of the 19 Latin American nations praticipating in the alliance. Mexico and Venezuela hold their favorable positions for thre' basic reasons. They have

proved their ability to earn foreign exchange through stable, planned economies. They have favorable balance of trade positions. Their external financial needs involve only long — term, soft loans. Argentina. Brazil and Chile, however, have unusually high short-term obligations and need large amounts of external financil assistance on bo t h short-term and long-term basis. In the cases of Brazil and Chile, new governments are making major adjustments in domestic and foriegn economic policies. The adjustments, although considered promising by the CIAP, leave the prospects

for the immediate future in doubt. The CIAP report said the major financial problem facing c II alliances nations — particularly Argentina, Brazil and Chile-is debt repayments due in 1965. Debt payments due next year from the 19 Latin American nations total $1,898,700,000. Of this amount, Brazil alone owes $725 million or 38 per cent Argentina owes $505 million, or 27 per cent. Chile owes $182 million, or 9 per cent. Thus, three of the 19 nations owe almost 75 percent of the gr^un's total debt payments due next year.

The High School held two in-ter-squad games Friday, October 30. It helped very much to build up spirit for the first game of the season and also gave the boys a chance to see where they needed a little practice. Speaking of basketball, the Bee’s season is well under way with three victories and one loss for both the B team and Varsity squad. The Jr. High has racked up one victory so far. and two losses. The 5th and 6th grade team remains undefeated after three games. The cheerleaders are also working hard this year t o create an extra amount of pep and from the little, but mighty, cheering section.

swallows return to Capistrano, the common cold can be depended on to invade the home, the factory, the school and the office as soon as the November chill bites the air. For some, it even returns earlier. The ‘‘common’’ cold is a fitting term for an unimaginative, uninteresting disease that plagues and annoys, rather than presents a serious threat to health. The efforts of Dr. Coleman physicians and scientists have failed as yet to create a vaccination against the elusive virus of the common cold. Since it still exists and flourishes, we must respect the fact that it does occur in epidemic forms and costs the nation hundreds of millions of dollars in loss of wages, loss of production and medical expenses. Some Predisposed How does one prevent catching the common cold? There are certain factors that are known to predispose children and adults to this annoying disease. Chilling of the body and the feet, getting wet and being exposed to drafts undoubtedly makes people more vulnerable. When this does occur, a warm bath immediately after exposure is beneficial. Fatigue, emotional upsets, inadequate diet are additional factors that must be considered and avoided. People who already have the common cold unknowingly, but generously, spread the virus by the droplets from the uncovered

sneeze.

Symptoms Easily Recognized It takes about 12 to 72 hours after exposure for the symptoms to become apparent. Chills, low grade fever, aches in the muscles of the legs and back, repeated sneezing and a runny nose are the readily recognized symptoms of a cold. Despite its lowliness, the common cold must never be neglected. When untreated and casually ignored, it can become

tant and more serious conditions in the upper respiratory tract. The body, already weakened by the cold, becomes more susceptible to invasion by the bacteria that produce lung infec-

tions.

When the early symptoms of a cold are apparent, a few simple home remedies are beneficial. Nasal drops in limited quantities are very comforting, especially when followed by steam inhalations. A light, nutritious diet with moderate increase in fluids is helpful, too. Antibiotics, antihistamines and pills for fever must be used only under the specific direction of a physician. Throw Old Pills Away Left-over pills and capsules from last year’s infections should have been thrown out during spring cleaning, unless the expiration date is definitely known. The Asian flu is closely related in its early symptoms to the common cold. A large epidemic of Asian flu is not expected to invade our nation this year. Nevertheless, it is advised that vaccination against the most common strains of influenza or Asian flu be given, especially to the elderly, the debilitated and those exposed to overcrowding in industry and schools. Vaccination Helpful Public health officials have found enough advantages in the vaccination against the influenza virus to suggest that it be repeated. It is most important to remember that the common cold leaves one with a great sense of fatigue, fatigue that must be catered to by rest and nourishment, even after the symptoms of the common cold have entirely disappeared.
