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.
