A native of Oak Park, he has been active in the Lutheran church, the Moose lodge, the Parent-Teachers association, and the McHenry county school^" board. Hay fever victims do not have poorly tuned equipment. Their body chemistry, un­ fortunately, works too weU, according to Dr. Max Samter, leading immunologist and professor of medicine at the University of Illinois Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine in Chicago. It is no consolation to the sufferer, probably, with peak ragweed pollen season just days away, but, "he has extra sensitive lymphocytes in his Mood stream that recognize ragweed pollen as an 'enemy' and trigger a process to combat it," according to the doctor. "Fortunately, my lym­ phocytes don't distinguish the pollen as alien-hence I have no hay fever." There are five stages of the hay fever process and each has a corresponding treatment method. The first is exposure to the "allergen," a pesky little grain that helps ragweed make more ragweed. "Right now, the best treat­ ment for hay fever is to keep the patient away from the ragweed or the ragweed away from him," Dr. Samter em­ phasized. "The desert and the mountains, for instance, have climates that prevent ragweed and promote the seasonal comfort of sufferers." Ragweed-free Europe and Asia are populated by people who are disposed to ragweed allergy. The don't produce the Give Motorists Information On '73 Registration Motorists submitting pre­ printed applications for 1973 registration of their cars should use the pink return envelope which accompanied the ap­ plication, Secretary of State John W. Lewis advised today. Many motorists have for­ warded their applications in the white envelope which was used to send the applications to them, Secretary Lewis said. The post office treats these as undeliverable returned mail, which requires that all returned mail be sorted to determine which is actually undeliverable and which contains applications and fees. This creates the danger that some applications will be missed and the applicants may lose desirable license numbers as a result, he warned. About 50,000 pieces of such mail have been received so far. Mailing of all 4.5 million pre­ printed applications was completed early this week, a month in advance of the end of mailing a year ago, Lewis said. Motorists desiring to retain their present license numbers must have their applications in the Secretary of State's office on or before Sept. 30, the s t a t u t o r y r e a s s i g n m e n t deadline, he pointed out. antibodies, but possess lym­ phocytes which are disposed to do so if exposed to ragweed. Such persons are classified as "atopic" by immunologists. Orientals, with a greater disposition to be atopic in the first place, often develop hay fever quickly upon arrival in the U.S., even though a single breath of ragweed pollen back home would have brought no symptoms. Only 10 to 20 per cent of atopic persons are actually afflicted with hay fever - a finding that still puzzles im­ munologists. Those six million sufferers who are both atopic and further cursed by the late summer problem produce antibodies in the process' second stage when first exposed to ragweed pollen. Lurking in the damp nasal and other mucous linings, the antibodies produce the third stage when they seize a pollen granule and "burst," releasing histamine into surrounding tissues. Released, the histamine in the fourth stage moves to blood vessels and glands in the region of the mucous tissue. At stage five, blood vessels dilate and fluid leaks from the mucous glands washing away some untrapped pollen. It is the body's defense mechanism at work. Sneezing, of course, accompanies the process. Shots to lower a patient's sensitivity are 'a form of treatment intervening at stage two, theoretically. Not all scientists and practitioner are in agreement on the ef­ fectiveness of "de- sensitization" because the manner in which the sub­ stances change sensitivity is as yet unexplained, Dr. Samter said. An ancient herbal medicine used by Indians to relieve asth­ ma is being studied as a counteragent to stage three when antibodies release histamine into the tissue. A plant extract, the chemical disodium cromoglycate, is promising but still considered experimental for hay fever treatment. Physicians occasionally use cortisone to intervene at the fourth stage of the hay fever process. It is considered risky and used only sparingly, but is effective in making tissue more dense and less conducive to the passage of histamine to the mucous vessels and glands. Antihistamines, both in prescriptive and non- prescriptive forms, are used to coat blood vessels and mucous glands against the entry of histamines. Acting at the final stage, antihistamines are probably hay fever sufferers' chief resort. EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Ad­ ministration. Below are some representative queries. Ad­ ditional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q. - My uncle, a veteran of World War I, needs domiciliary care. Is this care available at VA facilities? A - Yes, VA has sixteen of these facilities. Suggest you advise your uncle of this. Any VA office will help him file an application for this benefit. Q -- I was separated from service two years ago and wonder if I am eligible for a business loan? A - No, unless your tour of duty included service during World War II or the Korean Conflict, and you did not use your business loan entitlement. While Congress provided this benefit for World War II and Korean Conflict veterans, it is not available to post Korean Conflict veterans and ser­ vicemen still on active duty. Q - What should I do if my VA benefit check does not arrive on time? , A - Two things, (a) Wait long enough to be sure the mails have cleared, (b) Write to the VA regional office which has your claim file, including your name if you're a veteran, or the deceased veteran's name if it is a death claim, and your claim number. Never write the Treasury Department, as this will only prolong the delay in receiving your check. [ Service News XoOOOOOOOMgpNMpaai Navy Lieutenant Com­ mander Lewis R. Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tink L. Johnson of 2403 N. Villa lane, McHenry, completed 28 days' reserve combat readiness training with Patrol Squadron 92 at the Naval Air station, Jacksonville, Fla. Visitor--Thoseare wonder­ ful strawberries^ you have there. Do you use fertilizer on them?" Farmer-"No, just cream and sugar." NEW BLOOD LAW On Friday, Aug. 18, Governor Ogilvie signed into law Bill 4445,which requires all blood used in Illinois to be labeled indicating "purchased" or "donated" blood. The labeling portion of the bill will be ef­ fective Oct. 1. At that time, it is expected that physicians and patients will much prefer to use "donated" blood. Clear definitions of "purchased" and "donated" have yet to be made for certain types of donors. But according to the bill, one definition has been firmly established: People who donate blood and join the Cooperative Blood Replacement Plan are not in the "purchased" blood category.
