bail people out of trouble they don't want to get into. Cure the common cold and (oiks will have to develop anoth er ailment one that might real ly make them sick. For people- -such is the power of mind over germs usually do develop the ailments they pretend to have. What'il we trade for the cold arthritis, kidney stones,- gall bladder attacks, high blood pres sure , or mental neuroses? All are worse than the cold, which is merely a gentle allergy to life's strain and a signal to take it easy. Columnist Hal Boyle Cries, 'Why Try To Cure The Common Cold, Anyway?' By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (& Have you noticed what science is up to nowT It's trying to destroy man's best friend the common cold. This Is rank ingratitude to an ailment that has helped more people than it has hurt. For modern society is built on the common cold, real or imaginary, and it fills many necessary functions. There is a great tumult raging in medical circles as whether the new anti-hlstamlne drugs will cure the common cold. Who Cares? Who wants It cur ed anyway? Pneumonia, influen za, bronchitis, asthma these are real diseases that threaten lifes and should be attacked without mercy. But why pick on the common cold? It isn't really a disease it is one of civilization's great safety valves. Sams Arguments The misguided people who want to get rid of its use the same argument as those who ad voeated prohibition 30 years ago The main argument is economic that colds cost some $420,000 000 a year in lost wages. The idea is that, if cclds are stopped, people won't miss work and they will have $420,000,000 more with which to buy homes, orchids, toy trains and Shetland ponies. What nonsense, really! How many "colds" are caused by germs? Only a fraction as most physicians know. A cold Is really a camouflage name to describe hangovers, lazi ness, deep fatigue, spring fever, an unwillingness to face prob lems at the office, a temporary retreat from the bugle call o f duty, or just a desire to play hookey and go to a ball game. Will any drugs, anti-histamine or otherwise, cure all these things? Well, that is the real problem of the common cold. Good Excuse At present if you don't want to play bridge or attend a boring cocktail party, just put a towel over your mouth, go to the phone and mumble to the hostess: "Sorry, cad't make it, got a code id my head." Who wants her to chirp back. "Oh, don't worry. I'll send you over some antl-histamines. They 'll fix you up right away, and yon'll be able to come." Right now the plain, everyday cold is a better excuse than tele vision to stay home and stay healthy.
