E 10 ISOLATED CITY By the Associated Press Longyear City, Spitsbergen. 1 note worthy for an Interesting study on the common cold, recently completed by the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation, Longyear City has a population of some 600 persons, the majority of Its men being occupied In coal mining. Its shipping season la from three to five months, and during the remain der of the year the community is Iso lated. The study disclosed that through out the winter colds were at a mini mum In Longyear City, but within a month after the arrival of the first steamer from Norway 76 per cent of the inhabitant had colds, and before the epidemic ran Its course 90 per cent of all the residents had been af fected. Local history has It that cold epi demics never break out before the ships start to arrive and that there la no summer on record when the community was not affected by an epidemic. This study corroborates an impression that colds are Infectious and seasonal. Another Interesting bit of research relates to the Impression that people with enlarged turbinates (the shelf like structures which project Into the nmutl ananti- omnkr1 nnjutl unt& 1 (the middle wall of the nose) and other defect of the upper respiratory tract are more frequently subject to colds. But It appears from the atudy that all persons. Irrespective of their nose or throat condition, are alike subject to colds, and the severity of the dis ease, at least among adults, la not appreciably different. On the other hand, among children the duration of the attack, la longer when the nose and throat are abnor mal, and those with enlarged turbi nates and with Infected sinuses are more likely to develop moist coughs.
