(Continued from Page One) have been remitted to the Farmers. How many of the Farmers of Cass County got their tax money back? The Saviours of the Farmer returned it to thePackers. If they were so interested in the Farmer's Welfare why didn't they try to rectify their mistake and SEE TOO THAT HE GOT HIS MONEY BACK? Nothing was said about the foreign policy of the Administra tion, Shipments to Russia, and the Holy Land partition probably because the Administration is still trying to make up its mind whether or not it will support the partition as it had previously agreed to do. When the Administration does decide he will then, no doubt, attempt to justify the Administration's position. No further attempt has been made to answer the question propounded to him about the inequalities cf educational oppor tunities that he has attempted to blame on the Republicans, so we must assume that ho concurs with us and as prosecutor has de cided to rest his case on this point. He seeks to blame the Republicans for the death of the OPA. Under the OPA a manufactured item had an established price ceiling. All a manufacturer had to do was to bring out a new item cr a new and slightly different model and he could secure a new price scale and the cost of living could continue to mount. The OPA. regardless of whether or not it was established in good faith, was inadvertantly contributing to the increasing cost of living another name for inflation. The manufacturers who were honestly trying to maintain price levels were being forced out of the pic ture nd were having to meet unequal competition. If something is rot "meeting the need for which it was intended it is useless and should be abolished .The OPA DESTROYED ITSELF. getting over them for at least a week. That's the advice of Dr. H. E. Ransom, director of the city health department. "Instead of just lasting three days as colds do in the average vear, the 1948 cold is lasting at least a week," he said. Dr. Rob ert I. Parker, medical director of the board of education, agreed. Dr. Ransom said the difference in this year's cold crop is that victims have been suffering from severe sore throats, aches and pains of the body, and in some . cases, fever. The cold is hanging on longer this year because of the "sever ity" of the virus infection, he explained. Virus Blamed Dr. Ransom described the virus as an "influenza virus" and add ed thai the only difference be tween the common cold and in fluenza is the question of viru lence. He said there are two methods of attack of the present colds: 1. In the respiratory system. 2. In the gastro-intestinal sys tem, which includes the gall blad der and other intestinal organs. Drs. Ransom and Parker listed five things for a person to do when he starts getting the snif fles: Quiet Advised 1. Go into isolation immediate ly and stay there until all evi dence cf the infection has disap peared. 2. Be quiet and rest in bed. 3. Don't allow any outsiders into the home. 4. Drink plenty of fruit juices and eat only light foods. 5. Be sure and call the family physician if a fever develops and continues for more than 24 hours. By letting 2 cold continue without taking care of it, a per son is taking a chance of devel oping pneumonia, abscessed ears, kidney involvements, pleurisy and other complications, the doctors said.
