Poison Ivy, Hay Fever Spoil Summer Vacations
NEW YORK —(UPI)— Itches and twitches scratch fun out of many vacation schedules.
They stem from poison ivy, hay fever and other allergies.
The most common, poison ivy, is estimated to be a potential vacation hazard for four out of five Americans.
TO AVOID this summer plague learn to recognize the characteristic three leaf pattern of poison ivy. When you see the creeping plants, head the other way.
If, after being careful to avoie the stuff, you come down with a riproarin' case, check the dog. He may have romped through a bed of the poisonous plants and got his coat covered with the plant oil. The oil causes the allergic reaction.
Consult your doctor for cure or prevention. In recent years, a poison ivy pill has been used to help build up immunity to the ivy poisoning.
SUFFERERS OF another summer allergy, hay fever, feel their's is the worst. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to avoid its cause, unless you can afford inoculations, a summer-long ocean voyage, or a vacation in the mountainous or arctic country to avoid summer pollens causing the trouble.
Rapid, long-lasting relief from ragweed hay fever is obtained in some cases by using a new tablet—actually a tablet within a tablet.
AN INCREASING number of hay fever sufferers obtain season-long relief by receiving immunizing inoculations from allergists who specialize in this field.
Each year more and more qualified allergists employ a technique pioneered by an intrepid woman doctor on the faculty of Cornell Medical College.
Dr. Mary H. Loveless, who developed the one-shot inoculation for ragweed pollen hay fever and, has taught her method and techniques
Grass Revived In Flint Hills
EL DORADO, Kan. — (UPI) — Grass on which 1.1 million head of cattle are grazing in the Kansas Flint Hills is greening up after reviving rains.
Don Ward, Butler County Farm Agent, said grass in his area was "coming along real well."
"We still need some runoff water in the south half of the county where rains were not so heavy, but even there water supplies are adequate for the immediate future." Ward said. Buttley County has more than 500,000 acres of pasture land.
At Yates Center, Woodson County Agent Ted Wary said pastures in that section were "more than filled" by owners who had paid as high as $100 an acre for grazing land and felt they had to overstock in order to cleanup indebtedness.
The rains apparently came just in time to save dry and overgrazed grass.
Alvin Maley, Lyon County agent, said at Emporia that spring drought had stunted grass and held back top growth but that pasture was "doing quite well" since recent rains.
Shortage of water in stock ponds had been a problem in Lyon County, but Maley said most of these were now replenished.
KU Ph.D. Candidate To Saskatchewan Post
Shafik Hashmi, a Ph.D. candidate in political science at KU, has been appointed assistant professor of political science at the University of Saskatchewan, beginning in September.
Hashmi obtained his B.A. and M.A. in political science from Osmania University in Hyderabad, India, and a master of public administration from the University of the Philippines.
to allergists from Athens to Denver comes by the word intrepid honestly.
HER ONE SHOT for hay fever technique led also to means to immunize patients against potentially fatal bee, hornet and wasp stings. She uses pure venom as an inoculant.
Because there is no commercial supply of wasps and hometoms available, Dr. Loveless captures a high percentage of the creatures she employs to maintain immunity in her patients who, lacking it, might go into fatal shock if stung.
You are a candidate for this inoculation treatment if you ever had a serious shock-type reaction to bee, wasp, or hornet sting or stings.
Rights Vote Seen As Goldwater Aid
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Senate Democratic whip Hubert Humphrey says Democrats could find the civil rights bill a liability in the November elections.
In a speech to the Women's National Democratic Club, the Minnesota Democrat said the controversial measure could benefit Sen. Barry Goldwater if he wins the Republican presidential nomination.
Without mentioning Goldwater by name Humphrey said "a certain man may, if nominated, make his vote" against the bill an asset.
But some Democrats who voted for the bill may find that civil rights will not be "a plus" in their election campaign, he said.
Humphrey praised Republicans who voted for the measure for putting "their country above" party.
Soviet Press Reveals Stalin Removed Lenin's Body in '41
MOSCOW —(UPI)—The Soviet press has disclosed that dictator Josef Stalin had V. I. Lenin's embalmed body secretly evacuated from Moscow all the way to Siberia during World War II for safety's sake.
Enclosed in a special coffin, the body was transported during the hot July days of 1941 to Tyumen, eastern Siberia, about 1,300 miles from the capital.
THE LITERARY journal Znamya said the decision was taken to protect the honored remains of the Soviet Union's revolutionary leader from threatening Nazi air raids.
The body was not returned to the black and red mausoleum on Red Square until April 1945—well after the German surge on Moscow had been repulsed.
But throughout the dark days of the invasion, the Soviet people lived
and fought in the belief that Lenin was still lying in his coffin under the shadow of the Kremlin wall.
At the Nov. 7, 1941, revolutionary celebrations, Stalin made a famous appearance on the mausoleum as the Nazis pushed on through the bitter winter toward Moscow.
THIS WAS MEANT as a dramatic sign to the nation and the world that he intended to remain in the capital despite the Nazi advance.
The Soviet government never made any announcement that Lenin's body—which thousands upon thousands line up every week to view in its glass coffin—had been spirited away.
Only recently the press has admitted the body was moved, and the Znamya account was believed to contain the first disclosure of its wartime whereabouts.
