At Least At Season Start Hayf ever Low For North County By JOYCE HERGENHAN SHRUB OAK— Hayfever in northern West chester has been nothing but a state of mind this summer, says Calvin Weber, a sanitary en gineer with the Westchester Health Department. According to the two pollen count stations operated by Mr. Weber, the first three weeks of \the hayfever season\ have been marked by very low or nonexistent pollen counts, with a few exceptions. The season won't be officially over until the first week in October, but judging from the preliminary results, Mr. Weber says this summer's ragweed pollen index may turn out to be the lowest on record in the area. The pollen count stations at Shrub Oak and White Plains are! sponsored by the state and coun ty health departments. The state supplies the equipment and the county furnishes the manpower. The Shrub Oak station is on the roof of the Loyola Seminary on Stoney St., but the equip ment is so inconspicous that most of the seminary personnel do not reaVze it is there. Slide Collects Pollen Consisting of a six-foot pole and two parallel discs nine inches in diameter, the sampl ing apparatus resembles two flat shish kebabs six inches ar>art at the end of a skewer, at the end of a skewer. A standard laboratory slide is mounted on the bottom disc. Coated with laboratory grease, the slide collects pollen grains and any other small objects the GREASED SLIDE is put into a pollen count sampler by Calvin Weber, sanitary en gineer with the Westchester Health Department. Slidos are changed daily at 8 a.m. to determine the previous day's pollen count. The sampler Is on the roof of Loyola Semi nary in Shrub Oak. — Staff Photo by Jeff Harrell. wind blows between the two discs. Mr. Weber changes the slides at 8 a.m. each day. The used slide is taken to Grasslands Hospital. There technicians in the Westchester Department of Laboratories and Research scrutinize two square centi meters of the slide under a high-power microscope. The number of pollen grains observed in this area is halved THE HIGH COST OF CARELESSNESS 4,038,369 bora&il-out acres last year!

Previous Years High A day with a pollen count of 7 or above is considered a \hayfever day.\ Readings in previous years have been as high as 28 and 35. The highest pollen count this year has been below 7. A pollen count, emphasizes Mr. Weber, is not a forecast or a prediction; it merely notes how many grains of pollen were present in a one square cen timeter area on the previous day. Because of the time element, a pollen count is more useful to the health department than it is to individual hayfever sufferers. The survey, according to Mr. Weber, is used to determine which part of the season pro duces the most ragweed pollen, what the general pollen situa tion is in a specific area and the possible need for a ragweed control prq^ram. County Program Young At least five years of pollen counting are needed before the data can be considered ac curate, he explains, and al though the state has sponsored surveys since 1949, the West chester program is only three years old. In 1961 the seasonal index at Shrub Oak was 28; in 1962, it was 15. According to figures recorded through last Wednes day, this year's was zero.
