Sunday, February 1, 19(13 Family Homes r Scientists Set Sights On Curing Common Cold SHADES OF THE PAST The riverboat, "Belle of Louisville," steams along in the Up per Ohio River. UPI Telephoto River Boat Renovated o Travel Ohio Once Again LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) - A community project has given an old lady of the rivers a paint Job and a future as the "Belle of Louisville," a symbol of this city's past during the romantic era of steamboats. When the excursion steamer Avalon was purchased last sum mer for $34,000 by Jefferson Coun ty Judge Marlow Cook at auction in Cincinnati, she bore little resemblance to the riverboat launched at Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1914, and christened the Idlevrild, The weatherbeaten and rusty sternwheelcr was towed down the Ohio River and put in dry dock here. Cost of renovating the boat, renamed the Belle of Louisville, is expected to total $17,000 by the time the project Is completed next spring. A legal hurdle was removed when a suit challenging purchase of the steamer by Cook with tax payers' money was dismissed. Hut community response to the Belle has surprised even some steamboat buffs here. More than 60 firms and organizations have contributed materials, equipment and workmen. Painting parties have drawn volunteers, including high school sorority girls. A local husincssman even do. nated a calliope, operated electri cally, for the Texas roof to re place one sold separately when the steamer was purchased Allen L. Bates, a long-time stu dent of stcamboating and architect of the project, said every clfort will be made to recreate the ori ginal condition of the steamer. With the exception of an engine room telegraph system installed in the IWO's, the pilot house wheel and other equipment is much the same as that aboard steamboats in the days of Mark Twain. Some of the Belle's equipment recalls that golden era of steam boating. Her whistle once sounded on the old America that ran be tween New Orleans and Virkshurb, Miss. The pilot house bell came from a fast Mississippi River packet boat of the 1880 s. Since the Belle's boiler deck has no cabins for overnight passen gers, she will be used to carry charier parties of conventioneers, club members and tourists. The dance floor will be available for dinner parties and civic meetings. A steamboat museum featuring historic material from the Ohio Valley will be installed on the Belle for a two-month exhibit early in 13. Plans call for the Louisville Orchestra to use the Belle as a floating stage for concerts next summer. Until then the old riverboat is a big attraction for visitors to the Louisville waterfront, looking at night like a big white birthday cake. She's a beauty and a bargain," Bates said, "You know they don't build steamboats like her anymore."

And this little announcement, extracted from a scientific paper, should be good news all around the world for it means that Brit ish scientists are at last in sight of a breakthrough in the cure of the common cold This breakthrough could come in 1963 although research work ers at the Harvard Hospital in Salisbury have long since learned not to underestimate the baffling virus which is apparently respon sible for our wateiing eyes and plugged noses.

The intrepid British came for ward in their thousands 16 years ago when the Medical Research council and the Ministry of Health, in a joint appeal, stated that science could learn nothing further about colds from the guinea pig or the chimpanzee and needed human subjects. AH-CHOO! Many guests, until this past year or two, went home welt- rested, without a single symptom of cold, because of the cussedness of the offending virus which re- Pioneer Spirit Needed To Carve Town In Wilds CHICAGO lUPD A group ofi Americans with the pioneering spirit of the early settlers will at tempt to carve a community out of the British Columbian wilder ness this spring. Their "wagon master' ' is Rob ert H. Van Scholck, 31, a native Chicagoan who said he has thought about homeslcading in wilderness country ever since he was a boy. The- former florist is sifting through 500 applications to choose 50 settlers of a valley he locates somewhere in northern British Columbia," but which he won't pinpoint because arrangements with Canada are not yet com pleted. The valley is part of 5,000 acres the Canadian government lias leased to the group for 21 Yanks Tighten Xold Endurance' Gap EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE.leven build a fire," says Capt.

Ned Dalton Moore, who heads the army command In Alaska, says his job is to leach B ono troops how to fight and live in the frigid Polar back country. He says a successful maneuver will demonstrate that American troops can fight an Arctic campaign. To help train American forces Gibson and his staff of survival experts make certain every man leaves with knowledge ol how to use his parachute for shelter, how to catch and skin animals, to start a fire without matches or lighter, how to operate on stricken fellow crew members. "You've got to keep moving," says Capt. Gordon nines, a Ber hn. N. H., pilot. "If you stop, you've had It. You work 16 hours a day, improvising, making your own cooking and survival gear. It all must be done fast." r. aV I ' .1 r rs n ' . I v V ;" ft u j : I -;; ; ; ' . if 5 ' ( -.vvi. .... -J J : "..,-.- a .v X-i a years with provisions for a renew able lease. "We want the kind of people who will help us build," said Van Sclioick. "The area will be an empire some day Seven or eight feet of rich, black soil covers the land and "cab bages grow bigger than basket balls," according to Van Schoick. Game is abundant, he said. Picks Cold Spot The temperature can get down 50 degrees below zero but the average is zero to H above, he said. Van Schoick said his group is not composed of "some kind of religious nuts. "We just feel we can realize far more out of life up there," he said. I get more disgusted every year with the materialistic life here. Van Schoick said he tells appli cants life will be very difficult in the settlement. "We'll catch our own game, grow our own food. build our cabins out of logs Irom the forest, make many of our clothes, and it probab'y will be years before we have electricity." Van Schoick said the 33 people he has selected so far have a "high caliber" of varied skills. They include a doctor, and car penters and others with manual skills. Because of the physical work and stamina required to settle the wilderness, Van Schoick has set the age requirements at 18 to 35 years. Van Schoick said the group Is composed of many religions and no one will be rejected because of color or creed. Will Have Law As for law, he said the settle ment will be under the jurisdic tion of British Columbia. Some rules already have been established. One is that there will be no liquor. "We will have enough problems to conquer w ith out that one." he said. Another is that hunting will be onlv lor food, not for sport. The group will bring equipment with them. tools, fishing tiu-kl to dry off in the chill air. chum. med around with people who had colds, and even had fluid from cold sufferers transferred to their own noses. Far fewer of them got colds than the disappointed scientists hoped would be the case. Ob viously the old wives and the rest of humanity got their colds from something else. And only in the past year or so have the sci entists at Salisbury begun to find out from what. AH-CHOO! In a summary of the work of Harvard Hospital, its director Dr. M. L. Bynoe, reported that the common cold research unit had discovered a new group of viruses known as "rhinoviruses and that volunteers infected with these definitely caught colds. In science, learning how a thing happens is only one step away from learning how to keep it from happening. So Dr. Bynoe's paper was greeted by the medical peri odical "The Practitioner" with the words: "It now looks as if a breakthrough were in sight.' 'How soon this will occur unpredictable, the practitioncri said editorially, "but the mere fact that it is even, in sight is a notable tribute to the patience and ingenuity of the common cold research unit." Harvard Hospital was a war time gift to Britain by Harvard University and the American Red Cross.

Ft. 11,112 Cu. Fl. S2'-0 There is something very ap pealing in the simple, clean cut lines of this home. Although it is nearly square-shaped, it appears to be longer because of the low horizontal lines at front. All three bedrooms are at the rear for privacy and quiet. Kitch en is placed in front. Instead of I he usual dining area adjacent to living room, tins plan provides a nook in the kitchen for table and chairs, with large picture window. The designers have attempted to use every inch of space to best advantage. The structural system calls for standard widths of lumber and standard window units, reduction keynotes. The ex terior combines vertical wood sid ing and brick veneer. An angled brick wall next to front door juts out from front ol the house, providing an attractive entry and separating the kitchen and living areas. To balance the living room pic ture window, there is a recessed "picture frame" for vines or flow ers on the other side of front of the house. This is formed in the brick wall, just over the flower box. The wall then continues out be yond the corner of the house, pro viding privacy for side rear yard and adding an illusion of greater width to the home. Next to U-shaped kitchen is a 120 square foot utility room. This provides plenty of space for laun dry and furnace equipment. Slid- ing doors are used between the I entrance and breakfast nook, on I both utility room doors and be itwcen living room and the hall.
