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

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.

The anti-Communist campaigns
in Korea and Vict Nam (Indo

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

away from' the threat of ;
Russian Communist domination.
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.
