I won't telt you which group I'm in. I will only say it's a very revealing trait and offers an in- sight into the person's total per- sonality. Those who tolerate crickets at bedtime are the kind of people who can sit through \Aida\ and not hear a person sitting behind them who is ripping a breath mint out of a wrapper at 82 decibels. They're the kind of people who can go camping and be oblivious to a party across the lake where the thump-thump of a stereo playing weird music is carried by the winds to your campsite. They're the insensitive kind of people who can sleep right through a crying baby at 3 a.m. and have the gall to say the next morning, \Why didn't you wake me? I'd have warmed the bot- tle.\ They can play poker with the guys until 3 a.m. and then come home and tell you with a straight face that they don't know if the Floyds are getting a divorce or not. Ha! Ha! You can't miss 'em. Whenever you see a mouse in the house in the fall, these are the flakes who will tell you, \It's only a field mouse and he's just as scared as r At wit's end you are\ ... when you know in your heart the mouse is pregnant and is building a condo in your spices. Oh, make no mistake, it takes a special breed of person who can lie in bed and hear a cricket's bloodcurdling*, screech in the closet, then the bathroom, then under the bed, and feel nothing. That's it. These people don't feel. They don't acknowledge a dripping faucet, a hook that isn't fastened above a zipper, a stamp put on a letter crooked, a cup- board door in the kitchen stan- ding ajar. They're just animals! They can put a book down in the mid- dle of a page, never wash their hands after playing with the dog, don't brush after every meal, and call ttieir mother on Mother's Day ... collect! But mostly, they're people who can sleep while an animal is under their bed rubbing its legs together with a sound that shat- ters glass. As I said, I won't tell you which group I'm in, but you all know who you are out there. Allergy victims face rough autumn By CHARLES S. TAYLOR ATLANTA (UPI) - Plentiful rainfall this summer produced an extremely heavy crop of across most ot the na- tioh that an immulology expert said could trigger one of the worst fall allergy seasons on record. \Ragweed is the big allergy of- fender in 80 percent of the United States/' said Dr. Sidney Friedlaender in an interview Saturday. \There was a bumper crop this year wherever it grows. ** Friedlaender, a Detroit allergist for 25 years, is editor of Immunology and Allergy Prac- tice, the official publication of the American Association for Clinical Immunology and Allergy. Friedlaender said the ragweed pollen this fall will be the worst in years because of \the very heavy growing season\ prompted by ideal rainfall. What's worse, he said, ragweed is spreading to areas where it never grew before. \It has seeded whole bunches of places that didn't have it. You have to go almost to the northern reaches of Maine to get away from ragweed.\ The southern tip of Florida, ;alifornia and areas of Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade Mountains, also are free of the weed, he said. An allergy, a hypersensitivity to certain substances, occurs when the body makes antibodies against those substances, such as pollens, molds and dust. Symp- toms include itching eyes, nose, throat and skin, runny nose, coughing and sneezing, headaches, rashes, hives, wheez- ing and even asthma.
