Why DO You Sneeze?
BY PAULA PHILIPS

That's one of sciences
unsolved mysteries. But
here are some odd facts
that may surprise you
IF YOU'RE amember of the human
i race you sneeze. You may do
it once every other day, a dozen
times a day, twice a minute. or
once in three months. 1t all de-
pends on whether you're an aver
age sneezer, a cold casualty, an
allergy victim or a hermit living in
aseptic seclusion.
Though you may never have
given a fleeting thought to your
own sneezing habits, chances are
you respond to someone else's
sneeze with a prompt "Gesund-
heit" or God bless YOU" People
in all parts of the world and in
every age have paid tribute to
what doctors label a simple and
involuntary reflex"
Why is this reflex an interna-
tional cue for a blessing? What's in
a sneeze? Here are the facts -
both medical and mythical.

DINNER OPENED DRIVE
FOR NEW KENT HOSPITAL
leontInued from 80 30


The next speaker was Mayor J.
Wallace Woodford. He closed his
remarks by saying, "This hospital
drive is the greatest event that
ever happened in this county, a
community is made up of the peo-
pie who live in it, and you and I
share this benefit Our hopes and
prayers are for success, unless we
do there is no alternative either
we raise this money or our hospital

tients we cannot look after The
eyes of Delaware are upon us
Kent county, what is your ans

The final speaker, Col. w. Parks
Huntington, brought the audience
to the edge if their chairs when he
dramatically related a World War
II story of the soldier in a hospital
who had received all the medical
aid possible and found his recovery
depended on his faith. The sol
der had his faith guided by none
other than his chaplain, the speak
er. and the doctor sat at the speak
er's table. Col Robert Layton,
Col Huntington stated. this drive
win be a success, for your workers

own dinners that's the spirit of
success.
Giving and gratitude are the
same you get out of this world
what you put in. Faith in the
needs of the community; hope, the
dynamo or the power plant, and
charity begins at home.
Col Huntington urged the work

Kent county-a new and adequate
hospital.
Col Huntington brought this
event to close by reciting the
following poem which he wrote
dedieating It to Kent General Hos
pital
a monument for Kent County.
And what will you build it Of?
Can You build it Of marble, or brass
or bronze?
OAtlasting a peoples love.
Can you glorify it with legends
AS grand as your people have
writ
FROM the innermost shrine OF this
county Of thine
