The Brussels Post, 1975-05-21, Page 3THE FUNNY HAT BRIGADE — Nobody knows who they were or why strange hats were all the rage when this photo was taken. It is probably of Brussels people, local photographer H. R. Brewer's stamp is at the bottom of the photo.

I • • Allergies have lots of causes Allergies in children can be caused by many different culprits, including, perhaps, hospitalization before the age of two. In a study of allergic children who were all 13 years of age, Dr. Douglas E. Johnstone of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, found that five times as many allergic children had had early hospitalization compared to a group of nonallergic children. Dr. Johnstone believes that hospitalization, and especially anesthesia, at very young ages may play a part in the later development of allergies. There is not enough evidence on the subject. But many different situations and substances can trigger allergic attacks, In a booklet, "What You should Know About allergy", (to be available soon in Canada from our Christmas Seal Association) the wide range of offenders are listed. Early hospitalization, however, is not yet among them. Substances we breathe can cause allergic reactions. Certain foods can cause allergic responses in some people. Objects we touch can trigger reactions. Bites from some animals, insects, and fish can set off a response. So can cold, heat, and light. Then there are emotional factors such as tension, fear, hate and depression. The list doesn't end there, either. Once the offender has been pinpointed, there are several ways In which allergies can be • treated. One way is by injections which make the person less sensitive to the offender, but even better eliminate or avoid the offending factor if possible.
