S MORE THAN 53,000 " TRUCKS REGISTERED « MONTH OF APRIL Secretary of State Charles P. Carpentier has announced that more than 53,000 trucks units Were registered during the month of April and in excess of 9 million dollars was collected in fees. Total truck license fees collected in the first foar months of the year amounted to $28,000,- 778. Secretary Carpentier attributed the sharp increase to the effectiveness of the "road-block" enforcement technique which he instituted on April 15, in cooperation with. the state highway police and local law enforcement agencies, and which is being continued in various sections of the state. According to Sk^retftry Canpentier, the enforcement drive convinced many truck operators that further attempts to dodge payment of the 1953 fee would only end in arrest and fines. * During two Clays, Tuesday and ^Wednesday of last week, a "flyteg squadron" of investigators from Secretary Carpentier's office maintained' "road-blocks" in * the East St. LouisN area. More than 100 arrests were made for failure to display current valid Illinois license plates. Approxi mately $10,000 in license fees ^Vere collected and $1,000 in Unes levied. : Secretary Carpentier said that It is his intention to continue -- ^oad-block" enforcement of the .motor vehioi* lfcrnaingr*a«t and Ifcat his investigators will visit other areas of the state in the furtherance of this program. Allergies - , Generally - everyone Is ftad to see the winter months wane, but persons allergic to pollen dread the advancing summer months. ^ Because these persona suffer so acutely, they dread to think, even slightly, of the pollination of grasses, trees, and, in the fall, of weeds, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out n Health Talk. The allergic person carries in the mucous membranes and in the skin certain substances created within his own blood which are called antibodies. Specifically, antibodies are fighting agents which oppose the source to which the person is sensitive. Thus, some people are susceptible to various pollens which are carried through the air. When inhaled through the nostrils, the antibodies present in the mucous membranes attempt to set up a resistance. A chemical reaction takes place which releases a substance, normally present in the body, called histamine, and it is this element that causes the nose to rim, the eyes to water, and the delicate muscles of the bronchial tubes to constrict. With all the characteristics of the common cold, the allergic person has difficultv in breathing, sleeping and carrying on daily activities, fie develops what is commonly called hay fever, or, if the irritation is located deep in the chest, hay astlyia. In Jtme and Juiy the main offenders. many varieties of tucky blue grass, orchard grass, June grass, Red Top and Timothy. A person who is allergic to one type is usually allergic to all of them. In mid-August, ragweed pollen is the culprit. Even though growing in remote and patchy areas, the pollen travels with the wind, causing great misery to those sensitive to it, particularly when the pollen count is high. Grass pollen allergies are often called rose fever because they always occur when the roses are in bloom. Similarly, ragweed sensitivity is called hay fever, although hay has little to do with it. Both grass and ragweed pollen are so microscopically small they cannot be seen. That is why victims of grass pollen think they have rose fever because they suffer most when roses are in bloom, and persons sensitive to ragweed think they are allergic to goldenrod because it too is in bloom when they develop characterestic symptoms. Another summer hazard is poison ivy causing a type of skin sensitivity which may develop in anyone who comes in contact with the oily constituents of the leaves of a particular species. The best preventative for this condition is the avoidance of contact. Some aBaiglsa ax* cawd foods' which are most plintSttl in the summer. Strawtoerriefc for example, cause hives in sensitive persons. - - Unfortunately certain allergic conditions cannot be cured, for the development of the sensitivity seems to be an inherited trait. However, summer allergies, to a large extent, can be controUed. A person who can ift i iw. ill, WjiWliiIji | Many Values to $2.96 MRlvtal Compacts Your 7Q« choice I V Latest styles. escape frcm pollen to which he Is sensitive, for example, ragweed, will remain symptom-free. This, however, is not /always possible or practicable, since the pollen periods are prolonged. Injections of certain extracts ara effective in many persons, and the use of certain drugs will, in some persons, prevent the chemical substance histamine from reaohing the mucous glands and the Uny blood vestals of th» nasal mucous membrane. These, however, must be given under the careful supervision of a physician because, frequently, serious toxic • reactions may develop. Because the summer months associated with the troublemaking pollens yield such misery to allergic persons, it is no wonder they look forward to a long and cold winter. 1 vf or PIANOS ORGANS -flea On largest and finest selection In the Fox Valley -- at -- Walgreen** Brand Cfitfophyll V TOOTH PASTE 2179* V>V?U' H Professional artists living in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, 'Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois have been invited to compete in the midwest landscape art exhibit at the Illinois State Fair, to be held in Springfield, Aug. 14-23.
