shipping. Engineers predict that before many years have passed. it
will be necessary for Canada to twin" the Weland canal, at a cost
of some $3.50 million.
Even after these two projects re completed, the St Lawrence
will not be a completed waterway. Forecast is that in some 10 to
is years, the newly built Seaway will be running at capacity and
beyond, and it will be necessary to build twin locks along the ST.
Iawrence-at a cost of additional hundreds Of millions of dollars
Only then, engineers contend, will the ST. Lawrence be completed
to the satisfaction of the expected volume of traffic between the
Great Lakes and the Atlantic ocean.
. RADIOACTIVE WASTE-What to do with the accommodating
stocks Of radioactive waste is becoming a major problem Of the
United States and other countries operating atomic programs.
Most highlevel wastes are being stored in underground tanks IN
the United States, with only the lowlevel, or relatively harmless
kinds of waste being disposed of in drums dumped into the seas.
However, the federal government is concerned with the waste
disposal efforts of other countries There is no international agree
ment or regulations on the matter. And United States officials
agree there is little to be gained by America taking expensive pre-
cautions if the seas and the air are to be contaminated by Russia
and other more economy minded countries.

RISE SOUGHT

A five year gradual increase in
mail rates for large magazines
and newspapers has been proposed
by Representative George M.
Rhodes.
1t costs taxpayers more than
$500, 100000 a year to make up
the difference between the Post
Office Departments costs of
handling such publications and
the second class postage they now
pay, the Pennsylvania Democrat
said.
His plan would limit the sub
sidy to any one publication to
$4,000 900 the first year, s3,000,-
900 in the second year, S1,000,0 900
the third year S500,0 900 the fourth

HAY V A S

Those who have their annual trouble with the sniffles
and saeezes can get ready for a bumper hay fever season.
The annual peak of the ragweed season is approaching.
The height of the season comes at different times in diff
ferent parts of the country. In our area the peak of the pollen
season comes between August Is and September Is.
There is a varied amount of sniffles and sneezes, as
some can tolerate more of the pollen than others, but the suf-
fering for those that are allergic to the ragweed are about
the same For regardless of how you might sniff and sneeze
it is anything but fun.
Hay fever is not a disturbance to be taken lightly, and it
IS estimated that several people out of each hundred in the
United States suffer from its effects each year. That would
mean that millions of Americans are affected by it.
Perhaps the best remedy for most people consists of in
jections of an extract from the ragweed plants. Allergy
tests, and such injections, can help a large percentage of suf-
ferers. This method is coming into increasing use and should
be considered by all who suffer hay fever.

and often frightened at noises.
For example, a New Jersey
mother writes:
MY son, age 81 months. is
very much afraid of noise.
Every time he hears something,
he comes running to me crying,
Noise, Mommy, noisen He holds
me tight and trembles. Each
time, I tell him what tke noise
is and where it's coming from.
But, even this doesn't help.

II even tried making a game
of it, saying, Murray, someone

to clap his hands, then I'd
laugh. For a minute he'd forget,
but then he'd come right back
again telling me about the
noise. He's gotten so. that he
wakes up from his sleep"
My reply, in part.
Your little child could have
exceedingly sensitive hearing.
The chances are he has had
some violent frights at az few
noises and that his fears have
spread to all sorts of loud
and strange sounds.
Patient and Kind
You to be very patient
and kind to him about his fears.
DO try to be near him when he
needs comfort and reinsurance.
Try to help him spend much
time at fun with other little
children not afraid of noises and
protect him from shame and
ridicule when he is frightened.
Let him have simple noise
making things he can hit or
blow as mildly or loudly as he
chooses.
