The courae deals with the major ^problems fScing the present-day world. . At Springfield the principal legislative matters might be termed Illinois' '"Great Issues." It is upon these problems that the sixty- seventy Illinois General Aswill stage its own "Great DtTOte" ending June 30 at midnight (8ome of Illinois' "Great Issues" a?e embodied in a single legislative "hill." Others are included in a number or series of "bills." The background of . some ^ of these "Great Issues",' the arguments for and against the various measures, and the writer's predictions of the ultimate outcome t^R>be the subject of subsequent articles. The present discussion i will be confined to enumerating; the legislature's biggest problems. 1 . H i g h w a y s . P e r h a p s t h e toughest problem to solve is that of Illinois' deteriorating highways. Bills affecting this subject call for an increased gas tax and Increased truck license fees. The Questions for tlie legislature are "Ifow much?" and "How to split up ^he new revenue among the state* counties, cities and townships?" 2. Constitutional Amendments. By reason of the adoptioif of .the Gateway amendment at the fast general election, it has become much easier to adopt amendments to our . state constitution. And Whereas it was formerly possible to submit only one proposition at Gt'Jdjne, it will be possible to submit three propositions to the voters for their consideration at the 1952 general election. The only problem of the state legislature is to decide which three of the thirteen articles of the Illinois constitution should be U»e subject of amendment. 3. Congressional Reapportionmtm til the nftW rates begin to produce added revenues. Also, the teachers are urging passage of legislation to provide graduated minimum salary schedules, increased sick leave bene- | fits and higher pensions, i 6. Civil Defense. The governor has urged ' the' passage of a bill which Would give him extraordinary emergency powers in the event of an atomic bomb attack or other threats to our safety. - 7. The Oleo Bills. Legislation designed to remove the restrictions against pre-colored yellow oleomargarine are on the calendar of the Illinois House of Representatives. » 8. The Dog Bill. A highly controversial piece of legislation is House Bill 490 which would require the release of- impounded animals to certain licensed laboratories and college research departments. 9. FEPC. The so-called fair employ meats practices commission bill would prohibit employers and unions from diScriminati n g against persons on the i grounds of race, color or creed, < and subject violators to punishment. 10. Equal Pay for Women. Legislation intended to require employers to pay women salaries equal to those paid to men for "comparable" work, is one of the most bitterly contested measures before the Illinois legislature. llt Anti-subversive bills. Legislation introduced in both the House and the Senate provide for the appointment of commissions to investigate communistic and other subversive activities in Illinois. Other bills provide for loyalty oaths and evaluation of school books. TMese and other possible billB will be discussed during the concluding weeks of the Illinois General Assembly. The arguments# pro and con these measures will be presented in subsequent articles. The writer will endeavor to be as objective as possible. The readers' views on these various "Great Issues" will be welcomed by your state representatives and state senator.

Although only 3 per cent of Finfederal census figures the number of congressional districts in Illinois must be reduced from twenty-ai* to twenty-five. How to eliminate one district--and one congressman--is a difficult problem to naive. But if this problem. Is net solved the twenty-five Illinois congressmen will be elects "at large" and not by districts. - The Budget. Demands upon state legislature for* large ar* propriationB were never greater. Opposition to higher taxes was never stronger. But to balance authorised expenditures with anticipated revenues is going to bi a major problem of the current legislative session. 5. School legislation. The socalled Bensenvllle case which knocked the props from under the '$iiancial programs of a number of school districts has presented dire problems to the Illinois General Assembly. The problem has been solved in part by the pass' jage of bills authorizing new referenda V) restore school tax rates. but the problem will continue un- - FOR - Roofing--Til# Gutter and All Building Materials Of ; Sears Roebuck and Co.

The disease, also called "tag* weed fever" and "autumnal catarrh," stems from the inhalation of the microscopic pollens given off by various plants, and scattered, invisible, through the air. The ragweeds are principal offenders. The symptoms include sneezing, watering of the eyes, running of be | the nose, and itching of the nose, most popular natfce is hpy fever, but it is better called pollinosis or polled allergy. A spring type of the disease, beginning at the end of March or early April and extending to the end of May, is mainly caused by the pollens of trees. Summer bay fever, sometimes called rose fever, begins at the end of May and extends to the middle of July. Various grasses are the pollen sources. In the fall type of hay fever, usually running from the middle of August until the first frost* the pollen of ragweed is principally responsible. This group has the greatest number of victims, particularly in Illinois. It is generally believed that heredity is a factor in hay fever. Persons who suffer regularly from the condition are urged to be tested for sensitivity. This condition, like other allergies, is one of exaggerated susceptibility to some specific substance which is. in Itself, harmless for most individuals. Bach section of the United States contains about thirty pollens which are causes of hay fever. Knowing this, the physician held the grand opening and din* ner dance.

It i« then sometimes possible to desensitise or free the patient. It is unwise to wait until the attack begins before he is desensitised. for the course of treatment may take several weeks. It is better for the sufferer to have regular treatment each year, with desensitization at regular intervals, so that he is protected at the time when the pollen begins to fill the air. While there are many remedies used in hay fever, these do'not cure the dease and s£rve m to relieve the patient. Aids to hay fever sufferers include protective glasses for the eyes, filters for the nose and nose masks. One good preventive is a modern a i r-filtration machine which conditions the room in which the patient works or sleeps. Every allergic person should be under Skilled care, for many com plications may develop, sometimes with fatal results. And the patient should himself understand his condition thoroughly.
