Common Colds Cost Millions Of Dollars Since Pearl Harbor colds and com plications have cost war workers $250,000,000 in lost wages and have caused absences in war industries to talling 40,000,000 work-days, time sufficient to build 900 Flying Fort resses, 8,000 fighter planes, 8,000 tanks, or 35,000 jeeps, according to the Health Bulletin, published by the Vick Chemical Company. Respiratory diseases now cause more lost work time in war indus tries than almost all other illnesses combined, the Vick report states, and a progressive increase in time loss from colds is predicted "unless vigorous and determined efforts are started at once to prevent colds from spreading and to treat all colds promptly." Giving common-sense health rules that "may help you avoid many cold," a section of the bulletin ad dressed to war workers says: "Live normally, avoid excesses. Eat simple food, drink plenty of water, and keep elimination regular. Get plenty of rest and sleep. "Keep reminding yourself that colds are catching. Stay clear of care less coughers and sneezers. Don't share drinking cups, towels?even a half-eaten apple, a piece of candy or a 'drag' on a cigarette?with any one. "If you catch a cold, start care and treatment at once. A neglected cold may reduce your resistance and open the way to development of tonsillitis, sinusitis?even pneumonia and 'flu'. So start treatment immediately. If you have a high fever, 'ache all ov er,' or if the cold lasts more than a few days?call a doctor."

By DALLAS MALL1SON (Editor's Note: This is the fifth of a series of stories on the present world conflagration, its causes, con ditions determining its outcome, the course it is taking and the effects it will have on our generation and those to come.) THE WORLD A UNIT ECONOMICALLY In the preceding article it was said that perhaps the most signifi cant result of the present war, eco nomically, is that both nationally and internationally we will have in the future a controlled and socialistic economy in contrast to the old his toric free, uncontrolled laissez fairre individualism. Viewing the economic effects of the World War now in progress as it will affect the world as a whole (which is the purpose of this article), perhaps an equally important eco nomic consequence of this war is that in the future the entire globe will be one single and closely-inte grated whole or an economic enti ty. Perhaps the main reason for this world economy operating as a unit is the conclusion of the peoples of the allied powers and their leaders that any real and abiding peace in the future must be based upon eco nomic justice and economic freedom (we did not say economic equality though this is closely or intimately involved) as a fundamental prequi site. A Reversal of Present Economic Policies The significance of this change to a controlled world economy that is also a unified and truly world econ omy can be easily overlooked both by the uninitiated and the learned. Among other things it means the wiping out of trade barriers and high tariff walls, so prevalent everywhere before this war began and which were ameliorated only by the recip rocal trade treaties so fondly nour ished by that scholar-statesman, our Secretary of the State, Cordell Hull. Great trade barriers and high tar iff rates mean that the various parts of the world cannot trade freely and profitably among themselves and this restriction, which is typical of any economy other than a free one, means a lowered and statis standard of living or, in other words, an ab sence of many of the good things which make for a comfortable and tion by avoidable and neglected colds, Vick is sponsoring a program on cold prevention and care among war workers.

The navy reported that a Jap feeler thrust against the western llank of American positions guarding the vital airport on the island had been repulsed. U. S. planes are still taking olT from the field to bomb enemy troops and supply concentrations. This is an official U. 3. Marine Corps photo. high level of existence. Thus we will witness the rapid dy ing out of the old self-sufficient economy (so-called because it is real- j ly not self-sufficient and could not I be) which carried with it the fran tic efforts of nations and sections to build up synthetic industries, sub stitutes of all kinds and to engage ! in the production of agricultural pro duction not suited to the particular area or region in which it was grown. A Higher Standard of Living For the World Thus we may confidently look for ward to a much higher standard of living for the entire world to include all nations, races, groups, sections and regions. This will mean not on ly that our American standard of liv ing will reach a new level not hith erto attained but it means also that this will be true throughout the en tire globe. This will be brought about by a free exchange of goods and services throughout the world and a relative ly free access to all the raw materials and means of production throughout the world made possible only by a world economically organized and controlled as a single unit. The old lend-lease system of our government and the present pooling arrangement among the nations of the allied ag gregation whereby each gives what it has to other nations for what it does not have and vice versa are leading the way and developing the method for this world economic or ganization. A Conflict Between the Haves Mac Arthur Has Tea With Troops Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, commander In chief of the United Nations forces in the South Pacific, is shown hnving a cup of tea at a camp somewhere in New Guinea. The general recently made an inspection of troops and supply lines in the area where the Aussies chased the Japs back over the Owen Stanley Mountains and captured their Kokoda base. (Central Pre**) Hear C,rass V. T. A. Will Present Play ?? On Tuesday night, November 24, tin1 P.T.A. of Bear Grass will pre sent a play, Aunt Somonthly Rules the Roost, in the school auditorium at 8 o'clock. The cast of characters is as follows: Aunt Somonthly Simpkins, an old maid, Doris Davis; Serena Simpkins, her older niece, Mrs. Ruth Hazel Harris; Sophie Simpkins, her young er niece, Mrs Rossel Rogers;'Polly Paine, maid at the Simpkins, Ha/.el Sanders; Annie Ambrose, the village dressmaker, Mrs. Miller Harrell; Blanche Bowers, a women of very few words, Velma Bailey; Lucien Littiefield, a farmer, Joe Holliday; Blair Bos we'll, who likes Serena, Lester Lcary; Fyink Fairfield, who likes Sophie, Leroy Harrison; Law rence Lovenell, a stranger, Mr. T. O. Hickman; Buddy Baskine, the grocery boy, Ronald White. This play is a genuine comedy. The proceeds will be used to help out in the war drive and everyone will find that the entertainment is worth Un charge of ten cents for all school children and twenty-five cents for adults. And the Have Nots Viewed economically wars are armed conflicts between those who have a large share of the world's lands, raw materials and means of production and those who are not so fortunate or unfortunate. For ex ample, our own Revolutionary War and our Civil War were largely caus ed in the first war by economic con flict between our growing industries and trade and those of our mother country and in the second named war by an economic rivalry and conflict between the industrialism and com mercialism of the North and the free economics of an agricultural South. The future world political organi zation will inherently involve world economic organization which will be based upon freedom of trade, free exchange of services, inventions, ideas and means of production, free access to the raw materials of the world, a high degree of specializa tion, both industrially and agricul turally, throughout the world in the fields each nation or region is best suited to engage in, rigid control of monopolies, world cartels, patents and copyrights, the licerisilig and control of arms production, the pool ing of all the world's natural re sources and materials and a net work of rapid and adequate trans portation and communication facili ties. > Visits Here Monday Mr. Bill Tilghman, of Rocky Mount, visited friends here Monday.
