HONOR ROLLBy DR VICTOR C HEISER ,,

Medical ConsultantNational Association ot

Manufocturcrs

Each year some two billionpounds ' of pollen are released Intothe air by the common ragweed,arch ennemy of people who arosensitive or allergic to it.

The last wook in August and thefirst ten days in September usuallybring the heaviest concentration ofpollen In the ' air and the most noseblowing, eye rubbing,, and headholding to America six million hayfever suffers.

The first autumn frosj;, however,destroys tho ability of the pollen tocause the symptoms of this ener-vating "summer catarrh." Early InOctober most U S hay fever suffer-ers can look forward to a new leaseon life—for another year.

Hits War EffortLarger numbers of, sufferers from

hay fever annually are forced totake . time out from their, work be-cause of severe symptoms. Manymore sneeze and sniffle along at halfefficiency, rubbing their eyes andnoses, and "feeling like 30 cents."

This year the importance of timelost from work because of hay fev-er will be greater than ever becausoof the war.

Among the millions of men andwomen now engaged In' industry inthe manufacture of war material,thousands will have fallen victim tothe ravages of the ragweed by thetime the pollen Anally stops flying.Put out of action in the battlo ofproduction, they will have lost un-told hours from all-important warwork, hours we can ill afford tolose.-

Fighting Dust and PollenAmerican industry today Is doing

what it can. to lesson the plight ofwar workers who suffer from hayfever. '

Factory ventilation, already good,has been made even more efficient.Many plants have air conditioningor forced filtered air.

Dust, which seems to aid pollenin its dirty work , has been attackedin industry by scientific and thor-ough cleaning methods, by suctionfans, and oven by the use of indi-vidual masks.

Plant medical officers are avail-able to employees for assistanceand help in combatting hay fever.

Of course, if the weeds could beeliminated, so could most hay fever.Steps have already been taken inthis direction. New York City makesit unlawful to allow ragweed togrow on your property, and othercities have tried to eradicate it.

There is no sure-fire remedy, botthere are a number of ways peoplemay hope to offset the worst effectsof hay fever, short of ridding thoair of pollen or going to areaswhich pollen cannot.reach.

Beat It to the DrawThe most practical way for many

of us is to beat It lo the draw bydesensitizing ourselves. '

This may bo attempted by havinga physician inject gradually in-rrtwOnff dosnx of the offending ir-ritant under tjiei'skin. A newer and,to some, easier way is to take thedoses in capsules or liquid directlyby mouth.

Next year dont wait for hay feve rto attack you. Attack first. Startearly, on your physician's advice ,by trying the desensitizing methodso that, when the pollen flies, youmay be as well protected against itsdevastating effects as possible.

The first of • the year is not looearly to start tho desensitizingprocess.

DEAR FOLKS(The Northport Journal)

Suffolk County farmers are high-ly indignant about the blame whichhas been recently heaped on farm-ers for the higher cost of living,according to the Suffolk CountyFarm Bureau ot Riverhead, LongIsland.

The general impression seems tobe, says tho l^arm Bureau state-ment, that tho . farmer is takingadvantage of the wartime emerg-ency and demanding a higher price•for his products. Actually, nothingcould he farther from the truth.

On the average, farmers get onlyaround one-third of the price thatconsumers pay for: food. The othertwo-thirds of the cost of food goesto pay for i distribution and. mid-dlemen's .costs such as freight,trucking, labor, wholesaler's mar-gin and retailer's profit. The high-er price , of food is largely the re-sult of higher charges which themiddlemen have added on and notbecause the farmer is demandingoutrageously higher , prices or isgetting rich,, declares the FarmBureau. ¦ ,.

The prices that Suffolk County,Long Island, fw i-mers have TC;:C;VCUfor ' their vegetables this seasonhave generally averaged low. Afew vegetables have brought, goodprices for short periods when thesupply was limited , hiit it tuk'es' u.

At the present time Long Islandfarmers arc receiving only 75 centsper bushel for their No 1 potatoesand 25 cents per bushel for theirsmall No 2 potatoes. This farmprice for potatoes is only about68 percent of parity, and even Iheprice control authorities of theGovernment admit that, a farmeris entitled' to get as much for cropsnow as he averaged from' in 10 toMM. .top percent of parity in itsapplication lo f arm prices merely

FARM PRICES AND WAGES(The Long Inland Traveler)

It is to the credit of certain farmorganizations, mich as tho. loading 'marketing cooperatives, that theyhave not opposed stringent controlof agricultural prices so long asstringent control ot wages is im-posed with it.

These organizations, in otherwords, have simply objcctcd / tofarmers ' being- - turned into shocktroops to fight inflation—whi le othernational groups go merrily aheadgetting all the money possible.

Tho cost of farm labor alone hasoffset much of the increase in farmincome—to say nothing of the high-er costs the farmer must pay forequipment, feed , manufactured com-modities, etc. Price stability mustgo all the way." ¦

' ' If civilian; defense activity, is to achieve maximum results ,' tlicprevention and. control of fire must be stressed at all times. Moone , knows whether fire bombs will ever rain down from the skiesupon our cities, towns, farms and industrial centers. If that docshappen—and never forget that it can happen—the very life of thiscountry may . depend upon the efficiency of pur fire fighters, bothprofessional arid, volunteer. If it doesn't happen, a public whichis trained in the basic principles of fire prevention can be of in-estimable service in reducing the . vast toll of fires which occur"normally." . ¦ ' . . ¦

It has been said that many communities have relaxed theircivilian ' defense fire training simply because they couldn't obtainas much' fire-fi ghting equipment as they'd like to have. Any com-munity which does that is asking for destruction. It would be veryfine if every town could be supplied at once with all the apparatusit wants. But that is obviously impossible. And in the meantime,every community should be preparing volunteers to handle equip-ment when it comes—and to fight fire in other ways if it doesn't

' come.' It's just as important to extinguish a fire which starts from a

faulty stove, as a fire which is started by an incendiary. . And themost important thing of a/I is , to elim inate the causes nt fire. Theaverage American, home contains many grave hazards , which itsoccunants^neyer think of. The same thing is true of the averageplace of business,. Improperly, stored, inflammable liquids, accu-mulations of paper, rags and odds and ends, poorly-maintainedheating equipment—such hazards as these cause fi res which takehundreds of lives and destroy tens of millions of dollars worth ofproperty each year. -

Let every American community, from the smallest to thelargest, make up its mind that it will lick its own fire problem.

, It can be done—and it must be done.

BE YOUR OWN FIREMAN

Junk can help win the war. ' " ¦

Critical , materials salvaged from the scrap heap can aid UncleSam keep; the wheels of production turning out ships, guns, tanksand planes. . ' ' - . .

The salvage will be delivered to the factories and the mills,America has been assured. Besides setting up the machinery toassemble ' the . salvage in American communities, sponsors of thedrive have also arranged to deliver the material to the placeswhere it is heeded.

One of . the most/troublesome aspects of salvage campaigns•is~ .tr'ansp6rtation—arid the inability to transport salvage from col-lection depots to assembly, points where it can be diverted into theproduction lines has, oh occasion, created bottlenecks.

Salvage piles left rotting away at collection points arc of noearthly use in the war effort, representing a wasteful expenditureof time and patriotic effort. Therefore, the salvage authoritieshave in the current effort begun the study of plans to move themiscellaneous stuff from communities in Suffolk County and , else- - .where to places "Vrhcrc thfr junfc -eaa-bc put ta-si=e- in ie==on=bly~short order. ,

Like no place else in the world , distance is a factor in puttingthe salvage to use in Suffolk County and elsewhere in America.The problems of converting scrap into usable war materials arenot easy, nor are they insurmountable. Lack of transportation andthe fact that there arc 75 different classifications of scrap whichmust be separated and shipped separately may, slow up the pro-gram. ' No, one should be discouraged, however, if the movementof j.-nk material to the production line appears unduly ,slow. Thecollections in American communities constitute an immense reset:,voir for the industrial effort. '

With assurances that junk will be moved to points of ultimateconsumption for the assembled salvage, the current diive for wastecritical materials is given a "lif t."

Begin today to' look for scrap in the basement, attic, garageand barn. Every bit of junk that is contributed to the currentsalvage' drive aids the production effort.

JUNK CAN HELP. WIN

Real estate tax collections are very, frequentl y a primary indexto the purchasing power of a community.

Almost invariabl y the volume of delinquencies reflect the cur-rent economic trend, allowances ' being made of course (or theabortive character of some realty boom or promotion.

,.How the taxpaying habits of the Suffolk County taxpayer havebeen bettered is disclosed by the fact that -^290,000 less in delin-quent taxes' arc-reported by County Treasurer Terry this year ascompared to last year. The report covers the period up untilSeptember 15. -

When taxes are paid on time, the cost of government, de-creases far beyond the actual total of short term borrowings neces-sary for the' payment of current expenditures. . Most county , andtown governments depend, in order to meet their net tax levy,upon the payment of delinquent taxes from years other than thecurrent year. In most cases between 90 and 95 percent of thecurrent tax levy- comes from current taxes, the remaining 5 to 10percent 'needed to pay governmental expenses being dcrived.fromthe payments made on past due tax bills.

The Current tax levy in Suffolk County is in the neighborhoodof #1 ,806,513.42, approximately the same figure as last year's levy.Apparently, the county fiscal condition has been fa vorably affectedby the times and the ability of the taxpayer to pay his taxes.

• COLLECTIONS ARE BETTER

'¦' . Sixteen fewer lives hay* been lost in highway and railroadcrossing'accidents in Suffolk County during the first eight monthsof .the current year than in the same period last year.

Probably less traffic is on the roads. This reason, above any. 'other, is unquestionably responsible for what appears at first to, bethe increasing safety on public roads.

f ' Fewer ' automobiles 'arc registered in Suffolk County. Those

registered 'are probably seeing fe;wer hours on the road',- due totire and. car conservation aims and to gasoline rationing. , . .. , . ,

A natural outgrowth of this decreased , traffic load is a reduc-tion in' automobile and highway accidents. It would be umviturat,or the result of a series of unnatural circumstances, for accidentsto .increase in;, the face of reduced traffic. , , v '

, Too much speed/has long been recognized 'as a- primary liausi.of highway,, death and destruction. Force < of circumstance has cut •down the speeding habits of some motorists. 'Realization that the.present automobile is the only one for some time to come andthat,penalties are stricter for violations of legal 'limits has deterreddrivers from' excessive speeds'. • ':¦ ;/¦. . , ,

Undoubtedly, automobile headlight djmout'rulei have caused:jnotorists ' to have a care about their night time driving habits.''
