Colomokee Youth
Gets Job in Atlanta
After NYA Training
Further evidence that the NYA is
doing a great work toward educat
ing and preparing youths for stra
tegic defense jobs was shown here
this week, when it was announced
that Billy H. Cobb, Early county
youth and a resident of the Colomo
kee community, had been employed
by an Atlanta foundry as a moulder’s
helper, after several months’ train
ing at an NYA Resident Center near
College Park, Ga. This announce
ment came from Miss Louis Fort,
local youth personnel representative
with offices in Albany.
Mr. Cobb attended the school at
College Park, Miss Fort said, along
with hundreds of other Georgia boys
who are preparing themselves for
defense jobs. These youths, Miss
Fort said, are taught radio work,
machine shop, auto and airplane me
chanics, electric and acetylene weld
ing and other skills and trades, and
are given their room and board and
a small monthly salary. Any youth
between the ages of 17 and 25 and
not in school is eligible for this
training. Miss Fort stated.
Wednesday morning brought the
coldest weather of the winter thus
far, when the temperature here
dropped to 30 degrees. With this
suib-freezing weather there was also
the first ice of the winter. A killing
frost completed the work of the
other cold spells when the tempera
ture coasted to 33 on two occasions.

TREAT COLDS
IN BEGINNING,
IS ADVICE GIVEN
Several days’ rest in bed is ad
vised for cold sufferers in a recent
bulletin issued by the State Depart
ment of Public Health.
At the first signs of a cold, the
Georgia public health bulletin urges
immediate rest in bed, plenty of
water, fruit juices, and a light diet
of simple, nourishing foods.
If cold symptoms are severe or
persist after several days rest in bed,
the bulletin suggests that a physician
be consulted. This advice is of par
ticular importance, since an influen
za epidemic has been predicted for
the coming winter.
To avoid catching a cold, the bul
letin’s advice is simple. Do not be
come unduly fatigued and stay away
from persons who have a cold. Suf
ficient sleep, together with whole
some, protective foods are also nec
essary.
People with insufficient intake of
Vitamin A have less severe colds of
shorter duration, according to the
the public health bulletin. Milk,
eggs, fruits, green and yellow vege
tables are isted as sources of the
protective vitamins.
Persons who have recurrent colds
are also urged to seek the advice of
a physician. The bulletin suggests
that a physician be consulted for ad
vice about fish liver oils and concen
tables are listed as sources of the
adults that are physically below par.
Colds are charged with the re
sponsibility for more sickness and a
greater loss of time from work or
school than any other ailment, ac
cording to the Georgia public health
bulletin.
