REGARDING COLDS The cold season is over, we are told. Like any other cold j season, it was marked by much loss of time, inconvenience; and annoyance resulting from the sometimes trivial, some-; times serious manifestations tract which are referred to as ally, let us remark that the term is highly inaccurate except j that the afflictions so designated are common. The various; mucous inflammations that are meant are in no sense cold j and are not necessarily the result of cold. 1 he early miscon ception of the cause of such symptoms persists in the name still in ireneral use. Onset of a cold season is often the signal for the appear-1 ance of a new cron of remedies. "Hope springs eternal" andi has found expression over the age3 in a wide range of sup posed cures including charms. Mankind resorts to astring ents and expectorants, stimulants and depressants. Gargles, 'sprays, inhalations, ointments, vaccines, both sub-cutaneous 'and oral, have had their vogue and still have. Vitamins and juices are consumed in awesome quantities. Some swear by alcohol, others by water. Whatever the efficacy or lack thereof of the impressive list of treatments included in the pharma copoeia or ignored by it, others come to light with sufficient frequency to indicate that a specific is yet to be found. The season which we are assured is at an end personally, we're inclined to doubt this added to the list. The addition, or additions, for there were variations advertised and sold under various names, was notable in the fact that its pro prietors made no claim that it would cure anything. They .were almost emphatic in denying that it would cure anything. If used in time, the preparation would probably prevent the cold (if it were the right kind of cold). The wrong kind of cold, of course, simply wasn't going to be stopped and, if you didn't start in time, the thing wasn't going to be stopped, either. So, in order to do any good, you started well ahead of the game. To be perfectly safe, you began taking the pills which you were told wouldn't cure before you knew whether you were going to have anything that would need curing. Then, if no fnlfl Hpvplnnorl. tho nill trnt rrwlir for nrpvpntintr if Tf a nnlrl rlirl Hnv,.lr,n Wr, m. ! ,i(1,i 4.i All this, plus the uncertainties and imaginative aspects of self diagnosis, put the new kind of medicine in a preferred spot. Anything good was, of necessity, to its credit; anything that was not good, it couldn't be blamed for. Sales have been reported excellent. The medical profession, wisely, is keeping Us fingers crossed. It may or may not uncross them. That s'ill depend on the record and on findings more nearly con clusive than those so far available In dependable form. In the meantime the nest judgment yet rendered on the j common cold, its care and prognosis, is probably contained in i the old pronouncement that, be limited to two weeks but thnt, without medication, it may last for a fortnight. Bill Jenkins, in his "Bill-Board" column in the Klamath Herald and News thinks that when Dave Eyre, of the Ore gon Journal, speaks of the Klamath basin as covering much of southern Oregon and northern California he refers to the region from Alturas to Bend. That, at least is what Bill says. Dave, of course, knows better and we know that when Bill brings Bend in as he does he is trying to bring a bit of glamor into the Klamath scene. Klamath is all right but its basin does not include the Deschutes region and we, certainly, should never want to have Klamath attached to this region. Groups of students in Salem high school were expelled for alleged secret society activities forbidden under school regu lations. Since the expulsion they have been resorting to the courts to secure a reversal of the expulsion order. In Portland a like situation has existed. Comment. We wish that high school students worked as hard to do well in their studies as they have been working in those cases to keep their secret societies alive. Water District To Vote on Bonds Madras.

Eovemmenis are over burdened by military budgets. The anti-Communist campaigns in Korea and Vict Nam (Indo china) are already hot war. Bur ma has had continual revolts. Thailand (Slam), though com paratively rich and -successfully independent, is pinched between Burma and Viet Nam. If either of these countries goes Communist, Thailand would have to follow the lead, yielding as she yielded to the Japanese in the last war., On the edges of these critical areas are somewhat more promis ing conditions in Japan, the Phil ippines and Indonesia.

One of the most troublesome elements in the whole area is in! using the old Nazi trick of threat ening reprisals on relatives at home if the overseas Chinese do not cooperate with the Commun ists. This Chinese Communist sup port could conceivably strengthen ami -Communist sentiment in southeast Asia. There has long been a strong dislike of the Chin ese Immigrants In all these coun tries. The Peking Communist ra dio has now increased this resent ment by threats to invade Tibet and Viet Nam which are claimed as former Chinese territory. i Communist propaganda has al so promised to "liberate" Burma and Thailand. All this has reacted against the Communists and the Chinese. The rush of these coun tries to recognize the Chinese Communist government is now said to have suffered a bad reac- Hon. The Peking government has not reciprocated. There was at first some surprise that while the British Immediately recognized the Chinese Communists, the United States did not. This was considered an Indica tion of a great split between the two English-speaking nations. Hut now that the offers of friendship from India, Burma and others have met with no response from ; the Peking government, resent ! ment is building up. The thought of having Chinese Communist em- bassies within Iheir borders is a further sobering influence. ENLISTS IN ARMY Madias, April 4 Everett J.

Mount Lassen, In northern Cal - ifornia, burst into a sputtering eruption this morning. This was tne iirst sign ai activity since February 9. Lassen is the only active volcano in the United States.

There are twice as many school children in the Bend district as there were this time last year, despite the fact that Bend has split from the Laidlaw district. Tjiere are 200 children of school age here now, compared with 85, last year. A movement for a club house for Bend has been started, with S300 subscribed.
