HEALTH HINTS FOR T"E FAMILY
DRY COUGHS
by: Margaret Little*
A dry hacking cough is uncom
fortable to the person who has it
and certainly annoying to those
who must listen to it. And, unlike
a wet cough that helps the body
by clearing the respiratory pas
sageways of accumulated mucus,
a dry cough is absolutely useless.
Dry coughs are caused by some
kind of irritation that is tickling
the throat or the large bronchi.
The irritation can come from a
cold or it may be the result of
breathing in a lot of dust or other
irritating substances.
The best way to get rid of a
dry cough permanently is to elim
inate the irritation that’s causing
it, but in the meantime it’s often
useful to treat the cough itself. A
cough medicine with what’s
called an anti-tussive agent in it
is often helpful. Such a medicine
helps stop the desire to cough and
since the cough is increasing the
irritation it’s good to stop it.
Dry coughs should never be
treated w’ith a cough medicine
that contains an antihistamine be
cause these drugs dry up secre
tions and make the throat drier
than it was before.
Dry coughs also can be treated
with a vaporizer which moistens
and soothes the irritation in the
T
'iVV
Any cough that doesn’t im
prove with simple remedies may
be a sign of more serious trouble,
in which case a visit with your
family doctor is advisable.

B-70 Super Bomber
Being Assembled
In Mojave Desert
PALMDALE, Calif, (ffl — The
first 2,000-mile-an-hour B-70
bomber, prototype of airliners
that someday will span the con
tinent in 90 minutes, is taking
shape in a huge hanger on the
Mojave Desert.
Newsmen got their first look—
without cameras—Friday at some
of the giant sections being put to
gether to form the 185-foot-long,
250-ton monster.
The first B-70 should De com
pleted by September and ready
for flight testing before the year
ends. Plans call for two others to
be built—and that’s all.
Despite its brute size and force
—the B-70’s six jet engines kick
out twice the thrust of the Red
stone rocket that shot Alan B.
Shepard Jr. into space—there’s a
big question about the worth of
the giant bomber.
After the first three have been
tested, the administration will de
cide whether to build more or
put the money into missiles.
More than a billion dollars al
ready has been spent. Three
hundred million more will be
added to the bill by the time
flight testing is finished.
Meantime, more than 1,000
specialists are rushing the first
B-70 to completion at the North
American Aviation, Inc., assembly
plant here.
Newsmen saw 6-foot-tall work
men standing upright inside the
section of the tail that will house
the B-70’s power plant. Six J-93
jet engines, each as large as an
automobile, will be installed side
by side under the bomber’s huge

Nome School to
Sponsor Book Fair
There is a wide selection of
outstanding children’s books to be
sold at the Book Fair, in the
school library Thursday evening.
This is an opportunity to browse
at your leisure through many
books which were selected by
school library specialists, as
being a good exhibit of the newer
books for children.
They are all hard-bound, and
many have special library bind
ings which will withstand years
of use.
This the first Fair of this kind
to be held in Nome, and it is
hoped it will help stimulate in
terest in good books. Books can
provide entertainment, informa
tion, and stimulation. Read and

triangular tail.
The tail, measuring almost 100
feet across, actually is the B-70’s
wing. Up front, where wings are
placed (m conventional planes,
are two stubby control surfaces
to counteract the plane’s tendency
to tilt downward.
A spokesman explained the
wing was moved back to the tail
to take advantage of the shock
wave generated by the plane’s
speed, which is three times faster
than sound. This pressure wave
flowing back from the nose is
supposed to give the B-70 greater
lift and speed.
The B-70 is designed to carry
only four crewmen. The rest of
its 10-foot-diameter fuselage is
for radar instruments, fuel and
nuclear weapons.
Future airliner versions should
bb able to carry 100 to 150 pas
sengers.
Today’s fastest bomber is the
1,400-mile-an-hour B-58.

Glenn Claims
“ll Could Have
Been a Bad Day”
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. UP) —
Lt. Col. John Glenn Jr. told a
news conference Friday that as
he made re-entry through the
atmosphere “there were moments
of doubt whether the heat shield
had been damaged.”
“This could have been a bad
day all the way around if this
had been the case,” he said.
Here is the story re told:
“Ground, as most of you prob
ably know—the ground telemetry
receivers had picked up an im
pluse that I possibly had a loose
heat shield. And for that reason
it was deemed advisable to keep
the retropackage in place during
re-entry so that it would go ahead
and burn off, and by that time
we would be in a high enough
aero-dynamic force field to keep
it was, in fact, loose.
“This made pretty spectacular
re-entry from the capsule stand
point because of the retropackage.
As I retained the retropackage and
entered into the first part of the
high heat area of the re-entry,
the straps on the retropackage
broke loose and I felt a bump on
the capsule and thought that the
retropackage had jettisoned as it
was supposed to do.
“Apparently this was not true,
but I thought so at the time. As
I went on into the higher heat,
this glow picked up. Outside the
capsule was sort of a bright,
orange glow outside the window.
“It became apparent that some
thing was tearing up on the heat
shield end of the capsule because
there were large pieces — any
where from pieces as big as the
end of your finger, to pieces
probably seven or eight inches in
diameter—were breaking off and
falling off the edge of the capsule
and coming up back past the
window, and were flaming very
brightly. You could see the fire
and the glow from them as they
would come back up past the
window.
“Well, this obviously was the
retropackage burning up and
breaking off as we knew it would
if it had been retained. I thought
ov uic imic, uuwevei, inai me
retropackage had already besn
jettisoned.
“So there were some moments
of doubt whether the heat shield
had been damaged and whether
it might be tearing up itself and
this *— this could have been a
bad day all around if this had
been the case.
“But it was very spectacular
looking out into this orange glow
outside the window and seeing
these big flaming chunks go back
along the flight path.”

Too Much Gusto
BERLIN If - An armed So
viet soldier, who evidently cele
brated Red Army Day with too
much gusto, stumbled over the
border into West Berlin Saturday
night and was picked up by West
Berlin police.
The U.S. Army Command said
the soldier “was apprehended in
an intoxicated condition” at 2
a.m. in the American sector sub
urb of Rodow, south of the city.
The Soviet garrison in East Ber
lin Friday celebrated the 44th
anniversary of the foundation of
the Red Army.
West Berlin police turned the
soldier over to U.S. military police,
who held him at Andrews Bar
racks while arrangements were
made to return him to Soviet
authorities. A Soviet officer col
lected him from the barracks at
midday and took him back to
Communist territory.
No one seemed to know how he
got across the heavily guarded
barbed wire and concrete wall
into West Berlin. His name was
not disclosed.

Pair Sentenced for
Refusing to Yield
Party Line Phone
WHITTIER, Calif. — A judge
has sentenced a man and a woman
to 10 days in jail and fined each
$300 for refusing to give up a
party-line telephone for an emer
gency call.
Municipal Court Judge John I*.
Donnellan said in pronouncing
the sentence Friday: “If a per
son is told on the phone that an
emergency exists, he has no right
to determine, according to the
law, whether it is true or false.
The only alternative is to hang
up.”
William Liles, 44, of nearby
Norwalk and Natalie Burton, 44,
Los Angeles, had pleaded that
they thought it was a juvenile
prank when their call was inter
rupted. Similar pranks, they testi
fied, had happened before.
A neighbor of Liles, Harry
Thomas, 62, had collapsed with a
heart attack. His son tried to tele
phone for help but couldn’t get
the line. Thomas later died.
