PESKY ALLERGIES
This is the hay fever season,
the time literally millions of
people go around sneezing,
wiping watery noses, and rubb
ing red and itching eyes.
It may not be any comfort to
the victims of allergy, but there
aie about 10 million fellow
sufferers in this country who
are allergic to something.
The substances which bother
allergic individuals are called
allergens, and there are liter
ally hundreds of them, accord
ing to Miss Lucile Higginbot
ham, head of the Cooperative
Extension Service health de
partment, University of Geor
gia.
Included are certain foods,
pollens, house dust, animal
dander, feathers, cosmetics,
bleaches, dyes, medicines —
even heat, cold, and sunlight.
Miss Higginbotham explain
ed that individuals vary in
their reactions to allergens. “A

person who is allergic to eggs
may be slightly upset' by eat
ing one as frequently as every
day. Another may become vio
lently ill from the amount of
egg he would get in a small
serving of salad dressing.”
The health specialist offered
one encouraging note. Allergic
diseases are seldom fatal.
Physicians do, however, con
sider them serious. The symp
toms are always distressing,
and in severe cases cause such
discomfort that work, sleep,
appetite, and recreation are
disrupted.
Discussing some of the causes
of allergies, Miss Higginbotham
said heredity is believed to play
a part in their development.
“Many persons with allergies
have come from families where
parents or other close relatives
have had some forms of aller
gic reactions,” she stated.
“People do not inherit a speci-
sic disease such as hay fever,
but they do inherit the tend
ency to become sensitive to cer
tain substances.”
Miss Higginbotham explain
ed that allergens can gain
access to the body by being
swallowed or inhaled, by com
ing in contact with the skin, or
by injection (drugs and ser
ums). She said the most comm
on illnesses which these aller
gens cause are hay fever, asth
ma, skin diseases, and digestive
disturbances.
She emphasized that medical
care is necessary in all cases
of allergy for immediate relief
of discomfort and for protec
tion against future allergic ill
ness. “It is of great importance
for the patient to cooperate
with his physician in finding
the causes of the allergic ill
ness,” she explained.
The identity of the allergen
may be known. At other times
it may take many tests and
much patience on the part of
the patient and his physician,
and possibly a specialist, to
arrive at a true diagnosis.
Miss Higginbotham feels that
the time, trouble and expense
are worthwhile. “It may spare
the patient years of suffering
and disability,” she said.
Final Date for
WW 11-Korean Vets
GI Loan Is 1967
World War II and Korean
Conflict veterans whose eligi
bility is restored for GI loans
because their homes were dest
royed or they had to sell and
move because of compelling
reasons, have until the maxi
mum eligibility date in which
to obtain another GI loan.
The final date for a World
War II veteran to obtain a GI
loan is July 25, 1967, and that
for a Korean veteran is Jan
uary 31, 1975, A. W. Tate,
Manager, Veterans Administ
ration Regional Office, Atlanta,
Georgia, explained.
Eligible for restoration of GI
home loan eligibility are those
veterans w’hose homes are dest
royed by fire, storm, or other
acts of God; whose homes are
taken by condemnation; or,
who must move because of
health or because they are
transferred by their employers.
When the veteran is forced
to move for compelling rea
sons, Mr. Tate explained that
the VA will restore the veter
an’s eligibility for a new GI
loan if the purchaser satisfies
the existing loan with the lend
er by securing new financing.
The veteran is then given until
the final eligibility delimiting
date to obtain a new GI loan.
Otherwise eligibilitiy dead
lines for World War II and
Korean veterans are based on
discharge dates and length of
service. Their eligibility ex
pires 10 years from date of
discharge from their last period
of wartime service, plus an
additional year for each three
months of active wartime ser
vice, but not beyond the above
maximum deadline dates.

Stump Jumper
Here's a thought for the man
who fishes in rocky or stump
strewn waters. Using thick iron
flat rod, bend two metal ‘U’-
shaped pieces on either side
of your motor. Bolt through
the bottom of your boat, fas
tening into support pieces on
the inside of the hull. Other
end of rod can be bolted to
transom. This kind of "stump
jumpers” won’t save your prop
every time. . . but it will sure
hold bent and broken wheels
to a minimum.
A significant part of the na
tion’s medical research is ac
complished in Veterans Admin
istration hospitals when one
third of the nation’s new phy
sicians are receiving resident
training.

THE AIR DID IT
What makes ice cream so
smooth and light? It’s the air
that is stirred into it, according
to Dr. Mary Gibbs, the Exten
sion Service consumer market
ing specialist. This is called
“over-run.” Sometimes the
over-run is as much as 90 to
100 percent of the volume. In
this case, about half of a quart
of ice cream might be air.
Grasses, weeds, shrubs, and
other competitive vegetation
should be kept to a minimum in
pecan groves, according to
Horticulturist R, L. Livington
of the Extension Service.
