Difficult Ddy & v¥u# Hay Fever Sufferers
in a good many sections of
the United States the hay fev
er season is in full swing.;
This is a difficult time of
year for anyone suffering
from this malady.
There are untold causes of
even simple hayfever, but
perhaps the most common
cause is dust. This dust,
lint from feather pillows,
down comforts, wool blankets
or clothing, or outside dust
coming from such sources as
an unpaved road in dry weath
er.
The main source of sea
sonal hayfever is pollen.
Ragweed, golden rod, drying
corn fields, oak tree pollen,
and pecan tree pollen are just
a few.
Many people have an all
ergic reaction to flowers;
others to foods they eat. When
you suspect that foods are
causing a reaction, it is best
to consult a doctor if the sym
ptoms warrant.
Your home should be as
dust free as you can pos
sibly make it. Concentrate
particularly on the personal
room of the sufferer. Dust
furniture, walls, ceilings,
floors, drapes, rugs, lamp
shades, and spreads. If the
situation is bad enough, it is
wise to do away with all
unnecessary decoration in
the room because such items

as flratfcs; Tigs'“am} even
lamp shades are great dust
catchers. •,
Use kapoc or rubber foam
pillows in place of feather
pillows. The rubber foam is
especially good because it
can be washed in the wash
ing machine, as often as you
like, to remove any possible
dust.
Have any fields of hay
fever causing growth adjoin
ing you home, cleared. You
will be amazed at the dif
ference.
These simple preventive
measures can save you con
siderable amounts of money
and afford relief to the mem
bers of your family suffering
with hayfever.

posted a first-place winner with
his Diamond-S entry in the late
junior yearling heifer class.
In the Hereford bull judging,

TURKEY PRODUCTION DOWN
^ The Agriculture Depart
ment has predicted the pro
duction of turkeys down 16
per cent from 1967. The de
partment had asked pro
ducers to reduce the turkey
output to help head off se
vere market price declines.
JOHNSON ON EDUCATION
President Johnson has re
leased two reports that fore
casts a need for billions
more in public and private
school aid, and an estimated
500,000 more teachers, to
meet the educational re
quirements of the 1970’s.
and John Hollar and John Jr.
“just about took the Angus
show,’* in Tuckwiller’s words.
David Shore won the rosette
for the heifer calf champion
and the Shores also posted the
junior champion female and re
serve grand champion female.
The Hollars showed the win
ners of the senior bull and sum
mer yearling bull classes and
from their barn came also the
bull calf reserve and grand
champion winners.
Tuckwiller said most of the
winning cattle are consigned
to the 26th annual Watauga Pure
bred Hereford Sale, which will
begin atl p.m. Wednesday, Sept.
25.
The annual Hereford Show
will be held at 6 p.m. the night
before at the Watauga Live
stock Arena on Highway 421
east of Boone.
In Fashion
Crepe will be a favorite
for dresses this coming sea
son. It drapes beautifully and
is warm enough for cold cli
mates.
The jumper style, as we
have said before, is a pop
ular style this season but
some of these garments are
fake jumpers, having sewn
in bodices and sleeves.
And word comes from
Paris that it is to be a black
year with the little black
dress in the ascendency
again. Black suits and coats
are also being featured.
JUST ABOUT REACHED
Doctor— This medicine I
left for the baby is all gone.
What’s become of it? I hope
you didn’t give it all to that
baby.
Mother—No. In order to
get the baby to take a spoon
ful of it his dad had to take
one and I had to take one
and little sister and big bro
ther and Aunt Sue all had to
take one.
