Air Conditioning
Held Healthful
Omah, Neb. (UP)—You can for-
get those fears that working in an
air-conditioned building in the

steaming-liot street will affect your
health.
So says Jown W. Janies, Chica-
go, vice president of the American
Society of Heating and Air Condi-
tioning Engineers.
James stud research experts
have shown that there is no harm-
ful "shock effect” from going into
a warmer atmosphere.
It has not been determined, he
said, which temperatures are most
healthful. However, he said, it is
known that cool air benefits suf-
ferers of asthma and hay fever.
