Scientific paper

Data from the Main Stellar Spectrograph of the 6-meter telescope indicate that the average He abundance for stars with Te greater than 16,000 K is the same for field stars and for star members of open clusters. From a study of the B-star members of 18 open clusters, it is concluded that age-related (on a scale of 1-100 Myr) and spatial (at a distance of about 3 kpc) variations of the average helium abundance are absent.
