The Gray washing hanging out to dry Over the streets of Hay fever Scourge Hay has Little to do with Hay fever by Richard f. Newcomb a news features writer Hay fever has practically nothing to do with Hay and furthermore it s no fever is one of the allergic illnesses and Accord ing to the allergy foundation of America More than 17 Mil lion americans suffer from some form of these Hay fever is by far the most common some 8 million victims annually there Are Many others including asthma insect stings and reactions to food or drugs.

We fought a losing Battle with the stores for , naturally when we could t lick pm we joined pm Selling our milk to the stores at whole Dairyman said the Dally route Milkman really was licked when traffic got � heavy and Cost so High he could no longer we a horse. The horse actually was faster than the automobile in House to House milk deliveries he said. The Milkman would Load his wire baskets with bottles at the Corner and go Down the lock delivering. When his baskets were empty he woul Call the Bone and Dobbin would come bringing the wag on.
