DEAR ABBY: I was sitting
on my porch when I saw our
paper boy go from door to
door, trying to collect. Out Of
five people who answered
their doors, he made only one
collection.
I called him over and he
told me that almost half the
people say. Come back later.
Sonny, I don't have the
change right now"
I was a newspaper carrier
myself many years ago and
I know what it is to trudge
in all kinds of weather so
that people can get their
newspaper without fail. Why
can't folks be a little more
considerate and have the
money ready so those poor
kids don't have to make two
or three trips? Some people
even move away, leaving no
forwarding address, in which
case the paper boy must pay
what is owed out Of his own
pocket. Be a sport, Abby, and
print this. Some folks need
to be reminded.
"EX-NEWSBOY."
With pleasure. For whom
the shoe pinches: Have the
change ready for a change
and make your carrier mer-
rier.

Not every old book is
valuable. Regular readers Of
this column know that a book
must be important as well
as scarce to have value. Such
a book is the first edition of
Robert Boyle's The Sceptical
Chymist" Nondon, 166D.
Boyle's work is important
because it marks the break
between medieval alchemy
and modern chemical science.
Boyle himself had tried to
turn metal into gold. but his
book is a plea in the true
scientific spirit for the use Of
experimental method.
There are only IL perfect

tion listed in Fulton's "Bibli-

REPORTER
Stimson Foresuw A-Bon1b Peril

Some men are gifted to see
beyond their own time. AL
most always, they are the
least likely men. No one who
knew Henry l.. StimSon
would call him clairvoyant.
His mind was a computer.
He had a spare appearance;
a man with hair parted in
the middle carelessly; a
pursed mouth, the look Of a
farmer wearing a stiff collar
for the first time.
Mr.. Stimson is gone. In
some ways, he has been for
gotten. But he had greatness
and, with a little more push
and a few more friends he
might have been Republican
nominee for president of the
United States. He was quail
fed. He had been a fair Sec
retary of State and later
Franklin D. Roosevelt called
him out of retirement to be
Secretary of War in a Demo-
cratic administration.
1T WAS STRANGE to see
a man who wouldn't shoot a
bird in a hunting preserve
acting as Secretary of War,
stranger still to see him as
the daddy of the atomic
bomb. In Stimson's depart
ment, Gen. George Catlett
Marshall worked as Chief Of
Staff, and Gen. Leslie Groves
was assigned as head of the
Manhattan Project.
On March Is, 1945, four
months before the first bomb
was tested at Alamagordo.
Mr.. Stimson sat with Presi-
dent Roosevelt trying to con-
vince him that there would
be a bomb. The President
had a note from Admiral
William Leahy which said
that Mr.. Roosevelt was
spending billions in secret on
"a lemon" that there would
never be an atomic bomb.
In a half hour, Mr.. Stim-
son convinced the President
that the monster would be
born in a few months, and
that Mr.. Roosevelt had better
busy himself preparing world
opinion for the first big blast.
The President never had a
chance to act on this advice.
He died % days later.
Vice President Truman was
sworn in that evening. He
called a brief cabinet session
and. when it was over, only
Henry Stimson remained. He
said that the United States
had a secret project under
way and the President should
know about it. He did not
tell what it was. "It is the
most terrible weapon known
in all human history" he
said, and he asked permission
to discuss it further at a later
date.
Mr.. Truman agreed. On
April 25. 1945, Mr.. Stimson
arrived at the White House
with Gen. Groves. The gen.
eral answered specific ques-

Ten Percent Are AIIerqic
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Can you tell me a few
things about allergy?" asks
Mr.. L. B. Of Los Angeles,
Calf. "Just what is the
mechanism? And how many
types of allergy are there?"
ABOUT ONE OF TEN
Americans is allergic to
something. They may be SEN
sitive to any of the following:
Foods (for example, lobster,
clans, strawberries - or q
hundred more foodstufs) ;
drugs (some people can't even
take an aspirin tablet; pol
lens (hay fever due to rag
weed, etc.; molds, feathers.
dandruff, animal hair, anti
bioticS (reactions to penicil-
lin etc.; heat; cold; SUM-
light; tobacco; bites of in
Sects (bee, wasp, etc.; dust;
serums; wool, fur, plants.
dyes; bacteria (many a per-
son has become allergic after
a severe cold or sinus infec-
tion). There are hundreds of
other causes.
AS for the mechanism: an
allergen (the irritative
agent) enters the body. 1t
uniteS with a globulin mole
cule and this causes other
cells to release histamine.
Other globulin molecules are
produced which we call anti
bodies. These give battle to
the invading allergens and
produce more histamine. 1t is
this substance which causes
the unpleasant symptoms
such as hives, sneezing and
other uncomfortable allergic

Mr.. Stimson briefed the
President about the long
range philosophy of the
bomb. The Secretary Of War
spoke from notes These

bear in mind that he uttered
these words almost IS years
ago:
". the future may see a
time when such a weapon
may be constructed in secret

fectively with devastating
power by a willful nation or
group against an unSuspect-

unsuspecting nation might
be conquered within a very

heretofore considered would
be adequate to control this
menace. Both inside any par

the nations of the world, the
control of this weapon will
undoubtedly be a matter Of

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

LIKENESS: When Spanish
Painter Pablo PicaSso began
his experiments with cubism,
he was ridiculed even by his
friends for this departure
from more orthodox painting.
A few went so far as to sug-
gest that he INDUCED in
geometric patterns because
he could no longer paint a
realistic likeness.
Irked by this criticism,
Picasso painted a series Of
bugs and beetles on the wall
of his studio. He then in
vited his friends over and
watched with satisfaction
while they tried to swat them.
BEARD: Walter Reed, the
American Army surgeon who
did so much to eradicate
yellow fever, was scarcely l8
when he became q full
fledged physician.
He was learned beyond his
years, but his youth was an
insurmountable handicap. In
those days, doctors were
judged by the size of their
boards. Reed managed to
grow q mustache, but he
could not raise a hair on
his chin. AS a result ne
did not attract patients.
Finally, after five years Of
fruitless struggle. with his
practice and with his beard,
he took down his shingle and

quit being so old-fashioned.
They told me they didn't
want me to go out any more
with a certain boy.
He happens to be the one
I like best. They just wouldn't
listen to reason. He is really
a wonderful guy, but they
didn't give him a chance to
show his real self.
Anyway. I went ahead and
made a date with him. My
father trailed me and then
made a scene in the street,
embarrassing me in front Of
everyone. I'm ashamed to
show my face outside of the
house now. Was that the
right thing for a parent to
do?
Mrs. L. S.-I didn't want
my husband to make a scene
and embarrass Dorothy, but
something had to be done and
that was the only way to
do it.
We suspected Dorothy was
disobeying us and had made
another date with this boy.
She looked very guilty and
we had heard her whispering
on the telephone. sThere was
only one way we could be
sure and that was checking
up.
This boy brought Dorothy
home from a date an hour
and a half late. When we
gave him a good talking-to,
he just stood there with a
smirk on his face. He is not a
good-looking boy and Ger
tainly not well-spoken. We
can't understand what Doro-
thy sees in him when she
could have dates with much
nicer bows.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
In general, we are opposed
to parents spying or snooping
on adoleScent children. They
must have a measure of pri-
vacy. but in this case we
think the fathers action con-
Stituted legitimate checking
up. More parents may we'll do
this kind of checking up when
children behave suspiciously.
Dorothy was all wrong and
she knows very well that she
brought this public embar-
rassment on herself. She
proved herself untrustworthy
and has no right to a beef
simply because she was found
out.
Because it is usually diff
cult to check up on adoles-
cent children, parents must
sometimes bend backwards a
bit in their effort to create
the atmosphere of sympathy
and understanding that is
essential II they are to trust
their children. Perhaps Dor
othy's parents might have
considered giving her one
more chance to date this boy
If he came forward with a
satisfactory explanation and
apology for the first late
date.
If adolescent boys or girls
have a chance to be heard
and get a reasonable amount
Of understanding from par
ents. it is more likely they
will accept restrictions in the
right spirit.

Full Time Students
May Get Blue Cross
Applications Accepted VIII Be-
come Effective AS OF January 1860


Blue Cross-Blue Shield coverage
will be available to eligible full
time students under new student
contract being offered for the first
time, it was announced yesterday
by Robert C. Denzler, Assistant
Managing Director of Group Hos
pital Service, Inc.
The new contract offers standard
Blue Cross-Blue Shield coverage to
individual eligible students at rates
lower than other individuals pay.
The rate for the new individual stu
dent contract will be $500 a month,
payable quarterly, semi-annually
or annually.
The coverage is year-around and
not just during the school term,
Mr.. Denzler pointed out. He said
the new contract is being offered
in line with Group Hospital Ser
vices's policy of trying to meet
community needs as they develope.
The numbers of Delaware college
students are increasing to the point
where new contract tailored for
their specific requirements was
needed.
To be eligible for the low cost
student contract, persons must be
full time students under % years
of age who are either residents of
Delaware attending school in or
out of Delaware or residents of any
state who are attending school in
Delaware. are in good health, do
not have other disqualification COW
erage, and are not employed on a
regular full-time basis.
Present Blue Cross-Blue Shield
members who are eligible for the
new student contract may apply for
it now Application forms may be
obtained through the Group Hospi-
tai Service offices. Other eligible
students may apply during State
wide Enrolment Week, which will
be November 23 to 80.
Applications accepted will be ef-
fective January i, 1860.
At present, students under 19
years of age may be covered in fam
lily contracts, and this will be un-
changed with the offering of new
contract. But at present individual
students 10 or over can only get
Blue Cross-Blue Shield coverage
through the standard individual
contract. The new contract provides
similar coverage at lower rates.
Mr.. Denzler pointed out that the
contract does not cover injuries re-
ceived in nter-scholastic athletic
games or practice nor injuries or
sickness incurred in military or
naval service.
