"vrym mm w i t m w mw f " -V mmrn vm mrw mm m mm mm' mwrmi jw.v.w.vawv.v.sww.v F D 7 O ? 4 i S On Cleaner Highways An official of an automobile club in Maryland, August (i. Dutlof, has made an appeal to motorists in Maryland which should be made to motorists in every state - in the Union. Certainly, as one travels from state to state, the necessity of the sugges tions becomes apparent. Mr. Detlof recently said, in an appeal to all motorists to help keep the highways clean of refuse and debris. "Mind your manners. . . highway etiquette is just as much a part of good driving as observing the rules of the road drawn up for safety and convenience." He reminds motorists that "it costs some $50,000,000 yearly to keep the pri mary highways of the nation reasonably clean of miscellaneous litter tossed from motor vehicles. Highway departments are obliged to maintain cleanup squads at heavy cost to the motorist-taxpayer be cause a minority of the highway users per sist in discarding refuse as they ride. This money could be well spent for construc tive highway purposes." The same type of people who care lessly litter the streets and sidewalks of the town in which they live, ride blithely along our highways, tossing refuse from their cars onto the highways and shoulders of the road with no thought that they are doing anything wrong. The suggestion has wisely been made that it is a simple mat ter for car occupants to have a bag in their car to take care of all unwanted material for later disposal at a stopping point. Unless something of the sort is done by the millions of motorists who use our highways, it will soon become necessary that a law be passed to compel highway cleanliness. Such a law should not be ne cessary to force Americans to demonstrate good highway manners. The Common Cold A Johns Hopkins University research er, Dr. Winston II. Price, of the division of medical ecology, has reported that he has developed a vaccine against a virus which he believes to be the cause of many cases of the "common cold." From the laboratory, however, came no claims for a cure-all, no suggestion of a quick and easy panacea. Dr. Price modest ly calls his vaccine "merely an opening wedge" but his discovery may prove to be one of the most important developments of our time in medical history and in pub lic health. The fight against the common cold has been one of the most baffling, com plicated and expaserating that medical scientists have faced. It has been possible as the Chinese discovered some 3,000 years ago to find agents that are often effective in relieving symtomatic distress, but the problem of finding a "cure" has caused the scientists to probe much deeper. They had to find an original cause so as to know how to combat and eradicate it. The virus on which Dr. Price has ' been working was actually isolated four years ago. It is said that this virus is only one of the causative agents that are sus pected, since the identified virus is called responsible in only 30 per cent of the cases studied. As a matter of fact, during recent years, the term "common cold" has be come a sort of catch-all in which are lump ed mild respiratory infections now caused The Plallsmoulh Journal Official County and City Paper ESTABLISHED IN 1881 PjMitipd Semi Weekly, Mondays and Thursdays, at 410 Mam Street, Phttsmouth, Cass County, Nebr.

The man who can master his time can master nearly everything. -k You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it. A half-truth is far more dangerous than no truth. When in doubt about a controversial subject, keep quiet. A good friend is one who doesn t care how much money you have. Conscience is what makes easy money-getters uneasy. The span of life is too short for any one to learn enough to brag about. Health is very valuable to those who have lost it. If advice is all you want, you can get it without expense. by known agents. Some such infections are influenzas, mild pneumonias, some caused bv streptococcal bacteria, the so-called "APC" virus diseases, ami other grippe like diseases. Dr. Price has reported that the par ticular J II virus (called J1I for Johns Hop kins is the first true common-cold agent to be isolated and that tests on a number of volunteers have established that the vac cine he has developed is effective against JH virus. This discovery and development does not mean that it will be possible immedi ately to go to the corner drug store, buy a little box of tablets and be immune to the common cold for the rest of your life. It does mean that new techniques are being developed with which a great common enemy can be attacked. Since, in our own lifetime, we have seen the menace of some of the world's most terrible killers, such as smallpox, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other diseases, fade into relative obscurity, this development may well be the turning point in the war on the cold.
