E. Turnbull and Son of RR 2, Brits= sels, is the first herd to qualify under the elite herd policy for swine recently introduced by the Ontario Deparment of Ag- riculture and Food. This policy is designed to en- courage swine breeders to es- tablish and maintain herds that have achieved high standards "iii respect to performance, type and herd health. To qualify as an elite herd, _all the sows in the herd must be tested under the record of performance policy for /swine and achieve an average carcass score of at least 78.0 in 185 days or less, or a feed conver- sion, of 350 pounds or 'less per 100 pounds live weight gain, in addition to passing a type of -inspection by a representa- tive of the Live Stock Branch and meeting the necessary health standards 'of the policy. The Turnbull' herd with an overall average of 80.4 on car- cass score in 168 days and with. a feed conversion of 324 easily met the performance require- ments for an elite herd. Live 'Stock° commissioner H. E. McGill reports that several breeders in the.. province' have enrolled their herds under the policy, and it is expected that in the near future oth r herds will qualify for the elith status. Herds that meet the require- ments of the policy in respect to performance, type and health ' will obviously' be the outstand- ing breeding herds in Ontario, and so should constitute the best source of quality breeding stock for both pure bred and commercial breeders.

Here are some time-honored 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 probobly enjoy the vacation. But for a normal, healthy adult, bed rest is not necessary unless -you have a fever. Of course, you'll be doing, other people a favor by staying away from them during the first -conta- gious days. And taking it easy is a good idea, since it helps your body to resist complications. Young children,-. the elderly, folks who seem to get one cold after another, and adults with a ser- ious 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 firit sign of scratchiness. .. - The cold germ will have a good laugh. The flannel is only a substitute for the'teddy bear you clutch- ed as a baby. But lots of remedies — hot milk is another ex- ample = have a beneficial, though purely psy- chological, effect. Take vitamin pills, and prevent colds. Excess vitamins serve no purpose, and may even be harmful. If you have -a balanced diet, you don't need vitamin pills. Some people don't get all the vitaminsthey need. ,(Teenager) appear !pt to live only on ha urgers 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. a pile of blankets, and ? Get Under sweat., -- This is supposed to flush out the poisons produc- ed by the infection.- It hasn't been proved. Anyway, it's pleasanter to drink liquids, and you accomplish 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 bath 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 Ever? WHAT IS A COLD? The common cold is a name given•to any of a num- ber - of short-lived infections of the nose and throat. All of them are highly contagious. They have similar symptoms. Sometimes they are cal- led 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 in your nose and throat when you have a cold. They are carried on the droplets: you eXpl 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 thelrn during the colder months, Fatigue, chilling, and poor physical condition seem to give the virus a better foothold. WHAT'S THE COURSE OF A °;COLD? From one to three days after the virtis takes hold. in your body, the symptoms appear., (But other people can catch your cold even before your symp- toms 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 43 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 be- ginning (but a severe one may be a sign of some complication) . You may also have some fever, al- though that's unusual in adults. Once the cold has fully developed, it usually con- tinues 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 ill- nesses. And it's hard to know when the door has opened, because all the viruses . that cause the common cold have not yet 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 sometimes your body is allergic to the cold virus or the activated bacteria. Then the severity of the cold symptoms increases, and the inflammation and mucous discharge may spread to other parts of your respiratory system. For some people, these complications may be dangerous. CAN YQU 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 bacteria, not against ordinary respiratory viruses. Doctors may prescribe these drugs for the complications — the secondary, bacterial in- fections but not for the cold itself. . As for antihistamines, they work against the al- lergic reactions which accompany some colds. Of course, only a doctor can tell the difference be- tween the stuffy, running nose and burning, teary eyes 'which come from the viral infection and the same symptoms which come from the sometimes accompanying allergy. Practically, this means that at times an antihistamine will give you re- lief, but it has no effect on 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 prob- lems 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. Mean- while 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. Especially 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 there immediately by put- ting them into a closed paper bag or flushing them down the toilet. HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN' DO FOR YOUR COLD! You can relieve the symptoms: • Your usual dose of aspirin helps your headache and achiness. • Antihistamines give you some relief if allergic reactions 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, in- , .halers, or sprays, are useful when your nose is clogged up and your breathing is difficult,* • Liquids — fruit juice or water — make you feel better generally, though no one is sure why. • And rest, since it conserves energy, helps your body'. to build up resistance against complications. ,. Please note: Some nose drops, sprays, combin- ation cold tablets, lozenges, capsules, and cough mixtures contain drugs which have a long-term, bad effect. Ask your doctor which he recommends. Warning: Occasionally sore throat, headache, and fatigue may not be symptoms 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!
