i.s to be allotcd pre-school and

Newman said “Our citizens

that “manv in the county are not

'RABBIT FEVER’ SEASON
Tularemia.
If you hear somebody use this
word, don’t say, “Same to you,
fella!” He’s just mentioning the
name of a serious animal disease
which can also wreak havoc a-
moriig human beings.
Tularemia (too” iah re’ meah)
derived its name from TStrare
County, California, where it was
first studied in 1911. It has
stricken people in all of the 50
States and in many foreign coun
tries. Soirre 500 cases are report
ed annually in the United States.
Many know the disease as
“rabbit fever." This isn’t really
a misnomer, because rabbits of
ten transmit the disease to hu
mans. But so do infected wood
chucks. muskrats, oppossums.
squirrels, skunks, and other spe
cies of wildlife found in North
Carolina.
The Tularemia Ibacterium needs
no wound or break in the skin
for entry into the body, as it is
able to go through apparently
healthy skin. Infection may re
sult from rubbing the eyes with
contaminated fingers, by eating
wild animal meat which is inad
equately cooked, or by drinking
from a contaminated stream.
Bloodsucking insects can also
pass it on.
A most frequent story given
by the Tularemia patient, though,
is that he had cleaned a wild
rabbit several days before he be
came sick. He might have punc
tured his blood-smeared hand
with a shiver of ’cone. He might
have rubbed the blood into his
eyes. Or he might not have cook
ed the meat thoroughly.
Sy.Tptoms begin two to seven
days following Infection. The ill-

Health And
Safety Tips
Old King Cold is a tou^h
character, says a pamphlet of tne
American Medical Association.
So far. medical science has not
been able to break through his
guard. Gradually, however, more
and more is being learned about
colds and their causes even
though up to now colds can't be
prevented or cured. All that can
be hoped for is to treat the symp-
lOfi.s of the cold to make one
feel better until it goes away, and
to be as careful as possi'ole not
to spread your infection to oth
ers.
A number of viruses produce
the symptoms that most of us
call a cold, possibly as many as
a hundred. The true cold is an
infection with one or more viius
es. Bacteria are believed to be
pui-ely secondaiy infectoi’s.
Current research seems to in
dicate that colds are harder tr
spread than has been thought.
Fresh colds appear to be moie
contagious than older ones. Chil
dren’s colds have been shown tc
be more contagious than those
adults. There still is much dis
cussion among experts as to the
relationship of becaiing diillc.
or damp to “catching" cold.
What to do for a cold? Med;
oal science can’t help much. No
specific treatment, so far avail
able, is effective against the cold
virus. Any treatment is directed
toward relief of the discomfort
of runny nose, watering eyes,
sore throat, slight fever and the
other sympljms of the cold. T!i.
wonder drugs, such as penicillin,
don't bother the viruses, but ma\
':e prescribed by your physician
for secondary bacterial infec
tions. Bed rest, or at lej>?t
tivity, »s helpful. Your physician
may suggest mild medication to
help allay the discrirfo't.
Cold vaccines thus far are of
little value. Evidence is lacking
that any particular foods, vita
min supplements, special cloth
ing or exDosure to sunlight or
fresh air have any effect on
colds.
If a cold persists or seems
unusually severe, see your doc
tor. Colds are great imitators
.and the early symptoms can mi
mic tho.se of other much more
serious infections. Recurring
colds may not bo colds at all.
but 'ray be allerTic attacks that
require medical attention.
VA Questions
And Answers'
Q-I am over 65 and still
working and eaiming too much
to draw monthly benefits. Would
it Le of my advantage to file an
application for benefits now?
A—All workers 65 and over
and still working should certain
ly file an application as soon as
possible Even though monthly
payments i.T.ay not bo payable
immediately, this action would
establish entitlement to hospital
benefits (medicare) when that
part of the program becomes ef
fective July 1, 1966.
Q I am acquainted with sev
eral elderly people, all over age
65, living in my comir.unity. None
of the.m c.ould qualify for month
ly social security benefits. Can
nich people (jualify for the new
hospital benefits?
A Yes, they certainly ran.
However, they must file an ap-
plication with the social security
office in order to establish their
entitlement to hospital benefits.
Inform such people to contact
their nearest social security of
fice as s..on as possible.
Q -I have several questions re
garding the social security pro-
a'am. ut work all day. What
would be the best way to hav^^
my questions answered?
A The soi'ial security office in
Gastonia will remain open until
S:45 o.m. each Thursday night
for the next several months. Any
one dooiring to file a claim or
secure inform.ation about any
part the program is welcomed
‘o visit the office on any Thurs
day evening.
Q Recently I heard that a
widow could .start drawing social
security benefits at age 60 on
her deceased husband’s wage
record. Has the age for widows
drawing social security been low
ered?
A One of the 1965 changes to
the law (loos permit widows to
start drawing benefits at a-'o 60
at a reduced amount. If a widow
elects to take benefits at age 60
she will receive about ISr-J less
than wailing until she's 62. How
ever, keep in mind that if reduc
ed benefits are elected, 24 checks
could be received before reaching
age 62. If you arc a widow' be
tween age 60 and 62. contact
your nearest social security of
fice and discuss this matter.
