ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1966 Record Crowds At Anniversary Of Zurich EUB Church Banner and record crowds filled the Emmanuel Evangel- ical UB Church, Zurich, at both morning and evening services for the 93rd anniversary of the congregation. The days' offer- ings were the largest.in history, exceeding the goals set by the local finance committee. The Lakeview quartet sang at both services and Clare Zur- brigg, Kitchener, public school teacher, accompanied by his brother, Rev. Howard Zurbrigg, minister Crediton EUB Church, served as guest soloist for the day. The combined choirs of the congregation presented the anthems, Lennita Oesch and Idella Gabel served at piano and organ for preludes, offer- tories and postludes. The church school also en- joyed a record atendance for the day. The Rev. Cuthbert B. Carr, minister of St. Jacobs' EUB Church, spoke in the morn- ing about Enoch, and in the evening about the relationship of grace and love as evidenced in the person of Jesus. Many visitors swelled the at- tendance, coming from neigh- boring parishes as well as far- ther away towns, and other churches and denominational groups. In commemoration of the celebration of the festival of the Reformation, the speaker of the -day challenged all with the need for recapture of the de- votion found in the early Chris- tians, apostles, and martyrs, and the fathers •of the Refor- mation. He also indicated the need for both consecration and dedication and illustrated the fine difference between the two related terms. As a sequel to the stragetic messages for the hour given by Rev. Carr, a four -night preach- ing mission is being held from November 7 to 10 inclusive, with the speakers being the Rev. Merrill James, of Dash- wood, and the Rev. Howard Zurbrigg, Crediton. There will also be special music provided by them on those nights. This is a part of the larger program of evangelism in conference of EUB in Canada. Alvin Walper was master of ceremonies.

He has been armed with faith, superstition, and hope. He has been advised by Grand- ma, his next door neighbor, and the advertising copy- writer. And he has bowed, year after year, to the per- sistent, plaguing cold. Yet, ever the optimist, he faces each winter with new hope and — probably — some old, unproven, but be- loved remedy. DO YOU ? Here are some •timethonored rituals . . . and what modern research has to say about them. ? At the first sniffle, go to bed and stay there. If you have a good book to read, or if a steady diet of TV is your meat, you'll probably enjoy the vacation. But for a normal, healthy adult, bed rest is not neces- sary unless you have a fever. Of course, you'll be doing other people a favor by staying away from them during the first contagious days. And taking it easy is a good idea, since it helps your body to resist complications. Young children, the elderly folks who seen to get •one cold after another, and adults with a serious chronic disease—these need to rest. They need all their energy to ward off further illness ? Wrap .a piece of flannel around your throat at the first sign of scratchiness. The cold germ will have •a good only a substitute for the teddy a baby. But lots of remedies — hot milk have a beneficial, though purely laugh. The flannel is bear you clutched as is another example — psychological effect. ? Take vitamin pills, and prevent colds. Excess vitamins serve no purpose, :and may even be harm- ful. If you have a balanced diet, you don't need vita- min pills. Some people don't get all the vitamins they need. (Teenagers appear to live only on hamburgers and Cokes.) Ask your family doctor if you need a vitamin supplement. ? Take a laxative to get rid of the cold germs: The .cold virus won't be budged. But if you're constipated, a mild laxative may make sense .if you don't make a habit of it. ? Get under a pile of blankets, and sweat. This is supposed to flush out the poisons produced by the infection. It hasn't been proved. Anyway, it's pleasanter to drink liquids, and you ac- complish the same purpose — if you accomplish it at all. ? Cold baths and winter sleeping porches build you up so you don't get colds. No, they don't. Cold baths and cold air enthusiasts get as many and as severe colds as comfort lovers. Of course, you may become so used to discomfort that you don't mind the cold when you get it. ? Feed a cold and starve a fever Oh, come on. What do you do if you have a cold and a fever? WHAT IS A COLD ? The common cold is a name given to any of a' number of short-lived infections of the nose and throat. All of them are highly contagious. They have similar symp- toms. Sometimes they are called by other names, which simply tell you what part of the upper respiratory tract is particularly affected: rhinitis, affecting the nose; pharyngitis, the throat; or laryngitis, the voice box. WHAT CAUSES A COLD ? Many different viruses can cause a cold. A virus is a disease -producing agent so small that it goes right through the very fine filter that stops bacteria. These cold -causing viruses are present in great numbers HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN You can relieve the symptoms: • Your usual dose of aspirin helps your headache and achiness. • Antihistamines give you some relief if allergic re- actions accompany your cold.'" • A vaporizer or a hot bath relieves congestion. (Don't get chilled afterwards.) • A piece of hard candy soothes your throat. • Cough syrup eases a troublesome cough.* • Nasal decongestants, in the form of drops, inhalers, or sprays, are useful when your nose is clogged up and your breathing is difficult* • Liqiucls --• fruit juice or water make you feel bet- ter generally, though no one is sure why. • Arid rest, since dt conserves energy, helps your body to build up resistance against complications. 1 El ■ the jCiC�S: in your nose and throat when you have a cold. They are carried on the droplet you expel when talking, coughing, or sneezing, HOW DO YOU CATCH A COLD ? Though a virus causes your cold, a number of conditions seem to increase your susceptibility (science does not yet know why or how). People appear to catch colds mainly indoors. They get more of them during the colder months. Fatigue, chilling, and poor physical condition seem to give virus a better foothold. WHAT'S THE COURSE OF A COLD ? Froin one to three days after the virus takes hold in your body, the symptoms appear. (But other people can catch your cold even before your symptoms appear — one reason why colds are hard to prevent.) The first hint is usually scratchiness in the throat. Within a few hours, your nose gets stuffy and you have vague feelings of discomfort and illness. Usually you start sneezing, too. Within 48 hours, your cold is in full bloom — eyes teary, nose running, voice husky, breathing obstructed, and your senses of taste and smell dulled. You may feel lethargic and achy. It's common to have a moderate headache, especially at the beginning (but a severe one may be a sign of some complication). You may also have some fever, although that's unusual in adults. Once the cold has fully developed, it usually continues at its peak for several days. Then there is a gradual letting up. An uncomplicated cold commonly lasts from seven to fourteen days. CAN A COLD BE DANGEROUS ? In itself, no. But it can open the door to other illnesses. And it's hard to know when the door has opened, •be- cause all the viruses that cause the common cold have not been identified. It's very difficult to say where the simple, unperilous cold leaves off and complications, which may be dangerous, begin. Other — non -cold — viruses may complicate matters by getting in their licks when you are already felled by a cold. Or bacteria — many of which live in your body harmlessly during times of good health — may grow strong when your defenses are down. Or some- times your body is allergic to the cold virus or the activated bacteria. Then the severity of the cold symp- toms increases, and the inflammation and mucous dis- charge may spread to other parts of your respiratory system. For some people, these complications may be dangerous. CAN YOU CURE A COLD ? No, you can't. There is no drug known today that can cure the common cold. Antibiotics, the "wonder drugs" are effective against bac- teria, not against ordinary respiratory viruses. Doctors may prescribe these drugs for the complications — the secondary, bacterial infections — but not for the cold itself. CAN YOU PREVENT COLDS ? Not very effectively. Vaccines against cold viruses are being worked on but are not available so far. One of the problems is that so many different viruses — maybe a hundred — cause colds. Protection against one gives no protection against the others. And the protection, like the immunity you develop from a cold itself, may last only a month or so. Meanwhile you are still subject to all the other cold bugs people may breathe at you. There are some common-sense precautions you can take, though: Keep your distance from people who have colds. Espe- cially when they cough or sneeze. In general, eat well-balanced meals, and try not to get chilled or overtired. And if you do get a cold, take these precautions to keep from spreading the infection: Keep your distance. Stay away from movies and other crowded places. Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use disposable tissues, and get rid of them immediately by putting them into a closed paper bag or flushing them down the toilet. DO FOR YOUR, COLD! Please Note: Some nose drops, sprays, combination cold tablets, lozengers, capsules, and cough mixtures con- tain drugs which have a long-term bad effect. Ask your doctor which he recommends. Warning: Occasionally sore throat, headache, and fa- tigue may not be symptonis of a cold at all, but 'heralds of a more serious illness. Call your doctor if you develop any of these symptoms: a fever that lasts more than two or three days, a severe headache, chest pains, hard coughing spells, earache, or rusty looking sputum. And if you suffer from asthma, chronic bronchitis or any other chronic respiratory illness, you should consult your doctor at the onset of the cold. GESUNDHEIT !
