President Calls For i Conference To Cut Traffic Accidents; Goal Is 40 Per Cent Re duction of Traffic Accidents Some 3,000 leaders of American life will assemble in Washington, Febru ary 17, 18 and 19 at the call of Presi dent Eisenhower to plan ways in which communities throughout the na tion can speed programs to reduce 1 traffic accidents. These leaders from every state will represent agriculture, business, labor, media of public information, organiza tions, public officials and women. The occasion will be the White House Conference on Highway Safe-| ty which has as its objective a 40 per, cent reduction in traffic accidents dur ing the coming 12 months. In the words of Secretary of Com merce Sinclair Weeks: i “If the goals of the Conference can be realized, it will mean the saving of one American’s life every 36% minutes of the next year. This means the saving of 15,000 lives within 12 months, the prevention of some 600,- 000 personal injurv accidents, and the saving of some $1.5 billion, which rep resents 40 per cent of our annual acci dent cos-t.” President Eisenhower, in calling the White House Conference, noted that, for each of the years 1952 and 1953, some 38,500 persons lost their lives in traffic accidents: another 1,400.000 were injured, including many who were maimed for life; and the eco nomic losses from highway accidents were around $3.75 billions a year. The Governors of all 48 states have pledged their cooperation and have named official delegations to partici pate in the Conference. In requesting the cooperation of State Governors, President Eisenhow er said in part that “the mounting toll of death and injury on our highways long ago reached a point of deep con cern to all of us. It stands before America as a great challenge—hu manitarian and economic—and must be met by urgent action.” J HEALTH FOR ALL 1 CAUTION FOR COUGHS He changed his brand of cigarettes five times and he’s still coughing. It’s not a joke. People do change their ciehrette brand and take any number <>f different lozenges and .sy rups to relieve a cough, the cause of which is anvone’s guess. A cough that hangs on for a long time may be a symptom of serious trouble or it may be,something minor that can be clear ed up quickly with a doctor’s advice. But any measures which attack only the symptom are not going to cure the real trouble. The days when people used to pre scribe for themselves for every known ailment from the patent medicine ads are long gone. Most people are too well informed to be deceived by some thing that promises to cure every thing from tuberculosis to ingrown toenails, and such remedies are sel dom advertised. But many people will doctor themselves with cough reme dies which may lie excellent in their place—which is temporary relief of a cough -but which may simply delay necessary medical attention. This kind of self-deception is espe cially tragic if tuberculosis is the cause of the cough. In its early, most easily curable stages, TB usually has i no noticeable symptoms.

It I can be cured, but any delay may mean that the cure will be long and diffi cult. A long delay may be fatal. I Elderly people sometimes put up jwith a cough for years, treating it ■ with various soothing preparations, i because they think it’s just another annoyance of old age. If it should be !TB, they may have few other symp toms which cause special discomfort at the moment, but may cause seri ous trouble later. Another danger lies in the fact that they can be spread ing the disease to those about them, loved ones whom they would not pur posely harm for the world. A persistent cough should always ,be called to the doctor’s attention. jOnly he can say that it is not im portant. If you’ll read the label on that bottle of cough medicine, you’ll find the maker gives you the same caution. Winter Time To Be i Careful With Poultry Winter is a time for careful atten tion to the poultry flock. Sometimes chilling, overheating or other abnor -1 mal conditions of management may lead to indigestion and common diar rhea in young chicks. R. S. Dearstyne, head of the de partment of poultry science at N. C State College, says usually a mild flush aids in correcting such condi tions. For young chicks, Dearstyne suggests that poultrymen use two lev el teaspoons of Epson salts in a gal 13 resenting the 1054 Cadillac Styled to be Copied, for Years to Come... -. . and as Ib i ill i to Drive as to See !

If a second treatment becomes necessary the poul tryman should wait a week. This treatment will not prevent or control cocciciosis, Dearstyne warns. One pint of molasses to four gallons of water for a day is another method of approach to common diarrhea and in digestion in chicks. Dearstyne says poultry may become affected with several types of respi ratory infections. These include colds, roup, laryngotracheitis, Newcastle di sease, bronchitis and air-sac colds.

Dearstyne says it is probable that a weakening of an individual bird is “sometimes a predisposing factor to the onset of the disease.” But one thing is clear; a specific laboratory examination should be made in each case. In the meantime every effort should be made to keep the bird com fortable and on full feed. Often the use of a wet mash or pellets as a sup plement to the diet will aid in this, says Dearstyne.
