Harry Truman Quips With Reporters'
On Morning Stroll In Seattle
SEATTLE, (£> — Harry Truman,
quipping on topics ranging from
politics to jaywalking, confided
Saturday he doesn’t mind not
being invited to the White House
by President Eisenhower.
“I don’t want to go back there
anyhow,” the Democratic former
President told newsmen who
hustled to keep up with him on
a 20-minute morning walk. “I’ve
had enough of that.”
Truman said Friday night a
columnist’s rppoi't of an invita
tion for a White House visit was
news to him — “I’.ve never been
invited to the White House since
he (Eisenhower) took over.”
On his Saturday walk, the smil
ing Truman collected crowds of
spectators, a package of butter
horns for breakfast, and $1 for
the Democratic Party.
A bakery truck driver hailed
Truman, contributed the butter
horns, and handed him a dollar
for the party.
“You’re a wonderful man,”
truck driver Jack Eskenazi told
Truman. “You’ll go down in his
tory as one of our best Presi
dents.”
“You’re very nice to say that,”
Truman answered.
Photographers sprinted into an
intersection for on-the-move pic
tures, and got a stern warning:
“Hold up, there. Wait for the
light. Don’t jaywalk.”
He ducked a query on Demo
cratic Presidential possibilities,
replying “I’ll tell you the answer
after 1958.”
Friday night, Truman bounced
between two crowded ballrooms,
campaigning happily and re
marked, “I haven’t had so much
fun since 1948.”
Some 1,500 persons paid $50
each to hear Truman address
a funa-raisinsj dinner.
Truman criticized the present
administration for “doing as little
as possible” about economic and
security problems.
-The peppery ex-President said
he is “opposed to this outrageous
ly misnamed right-to-work legis
lation because it would strike at
the very heart of the collective
bargaining process.”
Lioness’ Owner Absolved
Of Blame for Death
Of B. C. Girl
NANAIMO, B. C., (£> — An
Assize Court jury Friday night

in the death last May 2 of 8-yfear
old Maureen Vanstone, who was
clawed to death by a lioness
which escaped from Hertel’s pri

country road near this Vancouver
Island community.

Allergies: What They Are, What Causes Them
Allergies cause many of the most perplexing problems faced by
modern medical science. While some of the phenomena relating to
allergic disease have been known for hundreds of years, there are
still many unanswered questions.
It is estimated that close to 20,000,000 Americans suffer from some
form of allergy, four million of '
whom have hay fever or asthma.
These two allergies alone cause
a loss of 25 million work days a
year . . . very expensive diseases
to both the working man and his
employer.
AMergies fall into several cate
gories. Inhalant allergic reac
tions are undoubtedly the most
veil known to us. These include
hay fever, types of asthma, al
lergic headaches and other al
lergic manifestations. Inhalant
allergies are normally seasonal.
They are caused by air-born pol
lens from trees, grasses, and
weeds. Persons allergic to one,
frequently are not bothered by
the others. For example, tree pol
len sufferers have their great
est difficulty in late spring when
tree pollen is prevalent. Grasses
usually give off their pollen in
June and early July and the
weed varieties come along in
August until early frost.
Food allergy is also prevalent.
Offenders in this group include a
wide variety of foods such as
eggs, milk, shellfish, nuts, straw
berriesvetc. Hives are commonly
caused by an allergic reaction to
certain foods.
Contact allergy is better
known to us as the itching blist
ers caused by brief contact with
poison ivy and poison sumac
plants. Certain chemicals and
dyes also cause severe allergies
in persons who become sensitized
to them through exposure.
Bacterial infections, which
may often go unnoticed, can
cause allergic reactions in many
persons. Frequently the infec
tion is not serious enough to
cause fever but nevertheless can
develop into obvious allergic
symptoms. Another form of al
lergy which is not well known is
a physical allergy in which peo
ple are sensitive to light, heat,
cold, etc. These allergies are
somewhat rare and are not ordi
nariiy the reason for the com
mon allergic symptoms of wheez
ing and sneezing.
What is an allergic reaction?
It is a condition of unusual sensi
tivity to substances ordinarily
harmless when taken into the
body or to those which come into
contact with the body. The agents
which bring about this unusual
sensitivity are called allergens.
It may take from a few days to
many years for an allergen to
produce sensitivity. What hap
pens is that the offending sub
stance sensitizes areas of the
body over a period of time, and
the body reacts to this by pro
ducing antibodies. You may not
know that you have an allergy
until you experience a skin erup
tion, itching watery eyes, a run- .
ny nose, sneezing, coughing and
other irritating symptoms.
Allergies develop just as often
in children as In adults. If your
children suddenly develop sneez
ing, coughing, watery eyes or
Tunny noses, skin rashes or di
gestive disturbances, it is wise
to have your family doctor check
the child for a possible allergy.
Your doctor has many tests to
determine if your symptoms re
sult from an allergy or some
other cause. With his help you
may be able to discover the cause
of your many hours of discom
fort due to allergic reaction.
Once your doctor knows the
cause of your allergy, he can fre
quently prescribe a course of ac
tion which will not only relieve
the condition, but frequently pre
vent it. ■
