PASSING OF THE COMMON COLD FROM MAN T0 MAN We are all familiar with the

fact that the common cold is trans- mitted from one member of a fam- ily to the other members and of how the common cold travels throughout an office or factory.

One of the earliest discoveries about the common cold was the finding of mam cases on an isolated island S3111? hours or days after the visit of a supply boat, some mem- bers of the visiting crew being af- flicted. Of course. this might readily work the other way, the crew ob- taining the cold from the islanders.

In the liaiicet (London). Drs. .1. I1. Loveiock, .1. S. Porterneld, A. T. Roden and others state that it has been established by several investi- gators that the common cold may be transmitted from man to man by instilling into the nose wash- ings from the noses of patients with colds.

As this is not the "natural" way for colds to be transmitted from man to man, these research work- ers decided to study the transmis- sion of colds using material from patients with natural colds. Experi- ments carricd out to compare the trzinsmisstnn or colds by different mutes revealed that 2 colds de- veloped in 25 volunteers exposed to droplet infection tthe sneezing and coughing of patients with three in 32 exposed to ftill contact, and two in 25 expcsed to a contaminated environment.

In some of these tests children acted as donors but children do not

For Tomorrow

TOMORR-3W'S Vibrations are excellent for social activities - with special emphasis on the en- tertainment. of relatives and close friends. The aspects are beneficent. also. for taking short trips and for outdoor hobbies. Gardening is es- pecially favored.

Intellectual pursuits should prove profitable as well as a means of relaxation after the work week, and mental stimulus should be such that plans conceived this day will be relatively easy of enactment in the. week to come. Ideas flow freely, logically, and there is complete ab- sence of nervous tension.

Tlils means a more prosperous per- iod for you professionally, or ex- pansion along financial lines. If you will look back a bit. you will realize that you have had quite a few lucky breaks during the past four months and, if you have capital- tized on them. the rewards should be in the immediate offing.

Mrs. Dorothy Walton, the Na- tional President of C.A.C.. in speaking at the Mlddlesex Seed Fair last month said: "Basicalll C.A.C. is an educational group, not a. resolution group. Too often. as many of us know. women's groups spend much time on ideal- istic and beautifully worded re- solutions which are catrefttlly de- bated and passed through local, provincial and national levels, af- ter wliiich nothing seems to hap- pen. CA.C. receives in increasing numbers resolutions and requests from women's organizations. These

One of the greatest enemies to intelligent spending is "impulse buying". The President warned against buying the fancy package without carefully assessing the value of its contents. There are plenty of cases where the pretty package costs more than its coit- tcnts. C.AC. is trying to get wo- men to buy for food value and they believe that an enlightened. iintelligent buying public can be 'one of the greatest stabilizing fac- itors in our country's economy. job to wake the women -up to their responsibility so that. liouscwlfcly dollars may be spent.

DEAR. MISS DIX: You frequently ray that girl: and women outnumber men and boys. but I auure you such in not the ms, where I live. In Brltilh Columbia boys outnumber girl: at least 5 to 1. I play for dance: in two school dlatrlctl, and in my 30 years- attendance at these affair: I've never Ieen enough girls to go around Many clause: in Ichool are entirely male. ' I guess the cities have more females, becaule women just don't like the rugged life of the country. I've alwayl wanted to fret mar. rled, but with girls so scarce I didn't have a chance. Now Itm 45 and I guess ztny matrimonial ideas can be given up. L. D. You are undoubtedly correct in your assumption fan the ladies prefer urban convenience to pioneering in a wilderness, although the idea of being , sought-after female among so many men certainly should appeal to quite a number of women.

ANSWER:

BRIGHT LIGHTS VS. COUNTRY AIR

Are you men doing anything to make your sur- roundings more appealing to women? Surely it you took steps to bring modern conveniences into the community, then did a good job of press-agenting your neck of the woods, some gals might be lndticec to forsake the bright lights of a big town for fregy country air.

Muriel Nissan

DEAR MISS DIX: My son has been marriag- to a fine girl for six years, and they have two children, a four-year old and an infant of six months. My son has no patience with in. older child. If the youngster doesn't obey instantly, or does some. thing his father doesn't like. my son hit: him on the head with open hand. He's been doing this-since the child was able to walk My son always had a good home life, and my husband and I can't understand this attitude.

MRS. M. W ANSWER: If your son will listen to the opinion of any-an-- doctor, minister, you or your husband-let. him know that he's on the way to doing irreparable physical harm to his child. Hard slum on the head might result in a boy becoming blind. deaf or etnn mentally deficient. The child's mother certainly should step in and take steps to force her husband to cease this nameless punishing Her passive disapproval is almost as much to blame as her husband": temper. Soon he'll begin the same tactics on the baby, so measttt-rs had better be taken now to teach the man some self-control.

DEAR MISS DIX: Recently I wrote asking you for the name and address of a lady who had written to your column. You replied that her letter had been anonymous, and further information war not available. This I know to be an untruth, since papers never print unsigned letters. : J. D. N.
