Most children have minor symptoms. Some children with allergies have more severe symptoms which require medical attention.

It is generally agreed that emission control devices have been primarily responsible for the reduction in carbon monoxide their automobiles than good. They believe that these devices have done little to clean up the air and have done much to decrease the fuel economy and performance of their cars. This has prompted a significant number of car owners and mechanics to remove, or in some way defeat the emissions control devices.

THOSE MOTORISTS who' feel some tampering or mis-fueliis to their advantage are not only making a mistake but they are also breaking federal and state law. An examination of the facts does not support these misconceptions about emission control devices. Emission control devices have proven to be effective in reducing air pollution. They have had little impact on the automobile industrys efforts to improve fleet fuel economy, and they do not appreciably affect the performance of today's cars. along the Wasatch Front, and other metropolitan areas of the country over the last decade.

Allergies, then, have a major impact upon the lives of those who suffer from them. What are allergies? Allergies are the symptoms that result from a special kind of body immunity that is overreactive. There appears to be a defect in the bodies ability to tame down this normal otherwise healthy aspect of immunity. TO UNDERSTAND allergy one must understand that our bodies are constantly responding to foreign material, that is material that is not us. For example, this foreign material and to render foreign and sickness of one sort or another. ONE OF the imbalances in the system results in allergy. With allergy, this finely tuned mechanism is out of alignment, resulting in an response to foreign material by one of the specific arms of our immune system. There is a protein that our body makes that is called IGE Antibody. This protein is made in very small quantities. It is specifically made to recognize and to stick to various forms of foreign material. Within the group of these IGE antibodies, there are smaller goups of IGE antibodies specifically made over-reacti- hial tubes with increased secretions which may lead to asthma with difficulty brea- FOR EXAMPLE, there is a small group of IGE antibodies made to stick to ragweed fore- thing. There are may sites and many forms of allergic reactions. group of IGE made to stick to sagebrush foreign material, and so on. These antibodies are very specific in what they stick to. An IGE antibody made to stick to ragweed will not stick to sagebrush. Once this IGE is made, it will usually bind to a branch of cells in our body that mediate an immune response. When a foreign material comes in contact with a matched IGE which IN A person with allergies, the amount of IGE is extremely small and the likelyhood of having contacts between foreign materials, mediator cells, and IGE is small, and hence is bound to one of these mediator cells, an immune reaction occurs, which may include swelling, itching or pain. THE TYPE of symptoms that one has depends upon the site of contact between the foreign material, the IGE, and the mediator cell. For example, if the site of interaction is in the nose, then the symptoms may include a swollen, itchy and runny nose. If the site is in the bronchial tubes, then the symptoms may include swelling of the bronc the degree of allergic re- sponses is small. In allergic individuals the production of IGE is not the way it is supposed to be leading to large amounts of IGE, and hence a large degree of allergic responses. sup-ress- IN FUTURE articles on the subject of allergies in our children, we will find out who gets allergies, when do the allergies occur, what patterns they take as they manifest themselves, preventive measures, diagnosis and treatment.

The decline was probably a product of manu- facturer's efforts to meet a perceived consumer demand for larger and more powerful cars. Since the 1974 Arab Oil Embargo and subsequent increases in fuel prices, consum- er desires have drastically changed. EPA mileage figures have now replaced cubic inch displacement as the consumer yardstick for buy ing a new car, and all of this has taken place as car emissions have come under more stringent control. IN THE first years of retrofitted emission control devices, the performance of some cars was affected. Early devices did contribute to, or cause stalling and rough idling.

MONESTARY VISIT About 150 residents of Davis, Weber and Salt Lake counties participated in a conservation tour of Weber County last week. The tour was sponsored by Davis, Salt Lake and Weber County Soil Conservation Districts, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation ( ASC) Committees, and Extension Service. BUSES WERE chartered in the three counties and all met in Ogden to travel together to the first stop on the tour The Abbey of the Holy Trinity in Huntsville. Brother Nicholas, farm boss at the Abbey, explained their irrigation and pasture management prog- rams. He indicated much has Earl S)cnilloe introdin rs Father Virgil, who discussed Monastic life style at Huntsville nioneslary. been learned from past experiences. Over the years, we tried several varieties of alfalfa and grasses, but settled back to Ranger alfalfa and later orchard grass for best production," he said. Twenty-fivfoot wide borders were uscJ for irrigating the fields at first. We have since found out how efficient sprinklers can be," Nicholas said. e THERE ARE 750 acres or crop and pasture lands and 100 acres of rangeland at the 1 Abbey. Water from Bennett's Spring provides the Abbey with culinary water. This spring and water from the South Fork of the Ogden River are mixed to provide irrigation water under a gravity pressure sprinkler system. This system, w hich contains 12.652 linear feet of pipeline, was installed over a period of about eight years with cost-shaassistance from ASCS and technical assistance from SCS. THERE ARE about 300 re head of beef cattle at the Abbey. About 85 head are pastures. grazed in five Each pasture is divided into e fields to obtain four e ten-acr- proper grazing. These pas- tures. all in different stages of growth, are in use from about May I until the first week of September when the beef is ready for sale. The pasture was seeded SYSTEM DISCHARGE Discharge from the Ropelato Dairy flush with about ten pounds of grass and two pounds of alfalfa. Hay fields were planted with two pounds of grass and 15 pounds of alfalfa. PASTURES ARE fertilized in the spring with 150 pounds of available nitrogen, using a 44 percent nitrogen fertilizer. A light application of manure is also used at times. Patures are irrigated three times during the growing season. Four crops (grazing periods) are obtained most years. Their hay fields produce about 50,000 bales per year. Father Joseph discussed the dairy operation at the Abbey. About two tons of milk a day are produced. Father Virgil talked about life at the Monas sv stems enters a lagoon. tery and answered questions from tour group members. NEXT STOP was at the Huntsville Park to enjoy a fried chicken luncheon provided by the W.R. White Pipe Co. Leaving the Ogden valley area, the tour group stopped at the mouth of Ogden Canyon where Prof. Pashley, geologist from WSC, explained the soil slippage problems being encountered on the hillsides near the mouth of the canyon. The old Lake Bonneville sediment deposits at what is called the Provo level are easily eroded and subject to slippage when saturated with water. THE LAST stop was at the south Ropelato Dairy Co-o- p west of Ogden which has been in operation for only five months. This family dairy was designed to milk 700 cows twice daily, but at present, the Ropelato's are milking only 202 cows with plans for 300 cows in the near future. This highly automated dairy provides showers for tjh cows and has a water-fluswaste removal system connected by underground pipelines to two lagoons. Some of their top producers give 70 lbs. of milk a day. About 70 cows can be run through the milking system every 45 minutes. h MANY FAVORABLE com- ments were received from those attending. |
