Show THE Thursday, October 18, 1945 Camp Fire Girls Inviting All Jills Between 7 and 18 Years ' J E. PENNOCK "So you're a Camp Fire executive," people say to me when I answer their "what do you do" query. "Let's see, aren't they the little girls who light fires with only one match and fry eggs on hot rocks?" And I smile indulgently and have to admit that they have been known to do both things, but that those two examples hardly typify Camp Fire's activities. It's like saying that the Red Cross has "something to do with bandages, doesn't it?" Camp Fire's field of activity is broad, seeking to give a girl an opportunity to try many things and so to find herself. The philosophy of the program is that girls "learn by doing," and If you were to glance through the "Book of the Camp Fire Girls," you would notice the long list (1,300) of things that girls may do to earn honors-r-notic-e - MEMBERSHIP DRIVE SEPT.

Girls, of course, do not join Camp Fire because it is good for them a "character - building" agency. They join because it is fun, because it fills for them a need of belonging to a group. Together with from 6 to 20 other girls, they have an opportunity to do things which they cannot do alone. They make their own plans, run their own meetings.

Though medical research is finding effective anti-col- d and undrugs, a cold is less complications set in, the sufv ferer gets well anyway. We know that the cause of the common cold is a filtrable virus, and that the virus is highly contagious. Theoretically, the fellow with a cold should Isolate himself during the acute two-da- y incubation period. But most cold carriers consider themselves too "indispensable" to stay home, and consequently the rest of us are doomed to inherit the virus and catch cold. Specialists say that during the first stage of an acute cold local nasal treatment is of no value and may produce uncomfortable secondary reaction. The medical profession is anxious to help the layman choose proper medication; because of the hundreds available, most do more harm than good. It is unfortunate that the alkalinity of certain nasal preparations has been so extolled over the radio. It is now known that nosedrops should be slightly acid. Of the available liquid nasal preparations, antiseptics and silvers are often more Irritating than helpful, while gargles are usually Ineffective in killing or even inhibit-inbacteria, according to an article In Coronet magazine.

But there's danger as well as miracle In the sulfas and even these preparations should be used by the layman only on the advice of a physician. There are also a great many nasal inhalers on sale. Yet, only three of them contain a therapeutic Ingredient which actually shrinks the nasal mucous membrane and promotes ventilation and drainage. Those Inhalers which are advertised to the public often claim to make The Camp Fire Law is really a philosophy of life, and a beautiful one, I think you will agree.

The common cold must run Its course. But its course can be shortened and its potential dangers can be minimized, and here's how: Make the first sign of a cold a slow down signal.

S. officials entering Eisenhower's office found him despondent He was holding a copy of Time magazine. "Look at that," he said, "six weeks' work gone." Eisenhower pointed to a picture of a female entertainer in a Berlin night club standing on her head, legs apart, holding a picture of Stalin between them. Time had reproduced the picture. "And just as I was making some progress with Marshal Zhukov," Elsenhower mourned. "First he would scarcely see me. But recently we have become pretty good friends. When I go into his office he says, 'Here's to Ike.' " Eisenhower went on to tell how Zhukov was blazing mad over the Time magazine picture. He had just come from seeing the Russian commander who had demanded: "What are you going to do about this?" "Nothing," replied Eisenhower. "What! Yon let the American press make mockery of the marshal?" exclaimed Zhukov. "That's what we fought the war for the right to criticize, the right for people to say what they please," said Elsenhower. Eisenhower went on to explain to ne Russian that because one newspaper or magazine published a picture of Stalin, it did not reflect the sentiment of either the American government or the American people, and that the American government scrupulously refrained from censoring the press on matters of this kind. However, the Russians continue to be sensitive. It is hard for them to understand the difference between a regulated press as in the Soviet and a free press as in the U. S. A.

President Truman really let his hair down with Senator Burton when he called him In last week to tell him he was being nominated to the Supreme court. Catching Burton just before the Ohio senator was about to leave for Cincinnati, Truman told him that he had actually promised the Supreme court job to another man, Robert Patterson, now secretary of war, but changed his mind. "Harold," said Truman at the start of the interview, "I've made up my mind to appoint you to the Supreme court. "You were always my first choice," Truman continued, "but I .had some vacillations. I considered appointing Phillips of Denver, Parker of North Carolina and Patterson. "Finally I decided to appoint Patterson and told him I was going to appoint him." Truman then explained that It was better to leave Patterson in the war department te replace Stimson as secretary of war. "One of the things that disturbed me about your appointment," Truman continued, "was the probable claim that I might be playing politics In order to get a Democratic senator from Ohio." (Truman had in mind the fact that Governor Lausche of Ohio, a Democrat, now can appoint a Democratic senator to replace Burton, a Republican.) "So I talked it over with Alben Barkley," Truman explained, "and he advised that if I was convinced you were the right man, I should appoint you and let political consequences go hang." Note Truman had picked op Senator Barkley at Padncab, Ky., the evening before and flown him back to Washington In his special plane, at which time they bad conferred regarding the Burton appointment. Truman, incidentally, seems to be leaning more and more on sage, experienced Barkley for advice. e ft; and other vital communications equipment. - Kow although military needs continue to come first substantial numbers of these B" batteries are available for civilian use.
