Don't Let Poison Ivy Spoil Outings

By Herman N. Bundesen, M, D. SUMMER and autumn are won derful time* for outdoor fun. These are the seasons for trips to the parka and woods, but all the joy of a moonlit stroll or a late afternoon picnic is killed if it also means contact with the .group of poisonous plants known as poison ivy. poison vine, or poison oak. These mischief makers grow everywhere—in gardens, vacant lots. back yards, woods and fields, wreathing themselves around trees and over fences, and if we are to enjoy our openair seasons to the full, we must be on guard against them. Recognizing Them in the first place, everybody should learn to recognize them. Unfortunately ail are attractivelooking plants. Poison ivy is a climbing plant with a rather pretty dark green leaf which turns a rich and ioveiy brown in autumn. Each leaf is divided into three leaflets and it bears a white berry. In the sap of the Iky there is an oil which causes skin inflammation when it comes in'contact with the hare skin. The more thoroughly it tomes in contact with the skin and the more it Is rubbed Info the skin, the worse is the reaction Which occurs. The first symptoms of Ivy potponing are redness and slight

The paper shortage is given as the reason that the 1947 Acts will not be available for another three months, the Secretary of State anI nounces. While most of the laws paesed by the recent session of ; the Legislature had emergency > clauses, copies cannot be issued I until the state printer gets his supply of paper. In the meantime judges and lawyers are being furnished with individual copies so that special cases can be handled in court. It looks like an improvement could be made in the system of issuing the Acts. O— — o— General Lucius D. Clay as commander of American forces In Germany, is doing a job equally as magnificent as General MacArthur has done in Japan. The American commander has done much to re- , store order in the zone over which 1 he has control and besides is going to see that the Germans are fed Ships loaded with 400,000 tons of food are scheduled to arrive over there, which will relieve much of the unrest. General Clay has things in hand and is making a great record for hiinseif and the American ideal of fair treatment. o o Compared with the 1939-40 school year, the township trustees last year, provided transportation for an additional 500 children and school buses traveled 991 more miles daily in covering the routes. The article released by the Indiana Taxpayers Association from Indianapolis, did not show this large increase in service as the reason for higher transportation costs, over the six year period The trustees are now transporting 2.087 pupils, compared to 1.593 in 1940 and the buses travel 2.151 miles daily, compared to 1.160 miles for the former period. Taxpayers want their children to attend school and township transportation must be furnished, regardless ot the cost. The trustees are not wasting mileage dollars, but giving more service to more | families.

swelling over the parts of the skin which have been exposed. Within 21 hours, blisters form and there is a great deal of itching and burning. Naturally the affected person scratches and this tends to make the inflammation worse. The bihtera break open and the fluid escapes and spreads over unaffected areas of the body, causing new outbreaks of skin inflammation. Length of Time The length of time required to get rid of the difficulty will depend on the severity of the condition and how sensitive the patient is to the poison ivy, as Well as the type of treatment carried out. Even a mild attack may persist for several weeks, interfering with sleep and producing nervousness. If a person thinks that he has been exposed to ivy poisoning, he should return home at once and take off his outer garments, being careful that they do not get in contact with the skin. He should then take a bath, using plenty of soap and water. , In treating the condition, wet compresses are moat often advised, a usual one being a substance known as liquor aluminum acetate diluted as the physician directs. Boric acid solution may be employed instead ■ It is best to have the ivy poisoaiag treated under the directions of a physician

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO i SOME FIVE hours before Wade I Carrington's frantic phone call to Sherry, Vai stood in the vestibule of the old converted brownstone i on Ohio Street that boused Kevin Blake's studio. She was looking exceptionally well The brisk wind had whipped dear color into her cheeks and her eyes held a sparkle ot anticipation. She was wearing • gray wo °* dress and a matching short tuxedo, with turned back revers of Persian lamb. Ono of the new little hats with an absurdly high crown was perched on her blond head. But then. Vai could wear absurd bats with the definite flair possible only to a truly beautiful woman. It was just as she waa reaching out to press Kevin's ben that the realization struck her that she had forgotten to leave her wed* ding and engagement rings at home. She drew back her hand quickly, a sinking sensation in the pit ot her stomach. Wh»t an oversight that would have been) Vai took off her gloves and removed Wade’s star sapphire, the sparkling circlet ot diamonds, and dropped them into her brown suede bag. A slightly cynical little emfle curved her lovely mouth. That bad been a very narrow thing. A moment later Kevin released the door lock tn response to her ring and Vai began climbing the two flights o. stairs that led to . his top-floar stadia Even when she wasn't peeing for him. most ot their meetings took place here. Vai found the arrangement highly satisfactory. Meeting in restaurants, er bars, uo matter how out of the way or secluded, one could never be sure of not running into an acquaintance. But at Kevin's studio she risked no awkward encounter. Even If she met someone in the hall, or on the stairs, she would only be taken for one of the models who came and went every day in this building full of artists* studios. And if Kevin wondered at her willingness to boa bit unconventional, he had never mentioned it. Nor had he, which was perhaps even more surprising, over tried to take advantage of it There was a core of unequivocal honesty and decency In Kevin that reminded Vai of Rick Colby, as strongly as did Ms physical attributes. He wasn't naive or unworldly. Ho called a spade a spade and lived a decidedly Bohemian existence. And yet—how well Vai knew it!- ho wouldn't have fitted in at all with Busan Pyle and that gay, wholly unprincipled crowd val found oo amusing. Integrity was a rather Huffy word. And yet i Val know that Kevin Blake was

(UP)- An ex-Cnmmunlst was under police guard today a* the house tinAknerlcan activities committee studied hie secret testimony naming alleged Communist leaders In Hollywood. Beverly Hills police chief C. H. Anderson said extra police had been assigned around the home of Victor Kravchenko, ex-Russlan army officer, who told the committee yesterday that he was "mared for death” by Communist agents. His testimony highlighted a day in which the committee heard Rupert Hughes, novelist and screen writer, testify that the movie industry was “lousy” with 55.0<W) a week Communists who wouldn't go “to Russia in a million years.” Greying Adolph Menjou, another witness, described himself as a modern "Paul Revere” who wanted to "sound the alarm" against Communism. Hughes and Menjou agreed that "influential positions” in the film industry were held by Conimuninsts. Menjou said the Communists sought to use movies to propagandize for overthrow ot the American government. Committee chairman J. Parnell Thomas, R.. N. J., subpenned Kracvhenko and Menjou to appear before the full committee June 26. He said he considered them hit* most important witnesses. Kravchenko, author ot the book "I Chose Freedom,” told the committee that an "agent directed by Moscow" had threatened to bomb the home of his hosts. "I momentarily expect shots in the dark, poison or whatever they think up for me,” Kravchenko

a man of integrity, just as Rick < had been. Pretense and subterfuge i were not tn him. I Sometimes oho wondered, with a | sense of nightmare horror. What ’ will bo think when be teams the 1 truth about me? But she didn't let such thoughts I intrude to disturb her very soul. I Val had become increasingly adept i at pushing back the past and the future, living each day as it came, I for all It waa qrorth. She'd work things out when the time came. ’ Hadn't she always managed to < work things out before? Kevin waa waiting for her on i the top landing, his fair bair ’ tousled, bis grin welcoming. He wore the disreputable clacks and pullover, the shapeless moccasins, in which bo always worked. His I shirt collar waa open, disclosing his strongly muscled throat. Ho said. -Helio, beauUftd," and drew her inside the Mg untidy studio. There were so many windows the sunny April day seemed to be brought right into the room itself. The place was etoan enough, but the faded small Oriental ruga, the canvasses stacked everywhere, the deep, dented, masculine looking chairs and couches gave it a knocked-about, slightly rakish atmosphere. Kevin pulled the door shut behino Val' and took her into his arms and kissed her. Ic was a along kiss that shook them When it was over, Val moved out Os the circle of Ms arms to take oS her hat and coat, chattering amiably the while, trying to disguise even from herself the fact that Kevin's touch, bls kiss, bad such power over her. She hadn’t meant to fan In love with Kevin. When their association began. Val had seen him merely as someone who reminded her ct Rick, someone she felt drawn to for that reason, whom she wanted to know better. Now she wasn't quite sure how deeply her emotions had become involved. She didn’t like to let henelf think about it. She was like a child who doses his eyes tightly against the fear of darkness and pretends the darkness isn't there. Some day she would have to sort out her tangled emotions, put Wade and Kevin and the young dead Rick i into their proper places tn her mind and heart. But not now—not yet. That-was what Val told herself, day after day. Now she settled down comfortably on her favorite couch and Kevin sprawled beside her, Ins long lego thrust out before him. I Val thought she sensed a sort at ■ suppressed excitement in Kevin, as though be had something to i ta& her. somethin* important

"I believe that Hollywood la one of the main centers for Communistic activity In America." he said. "Bo many mlllionarles here are In favor of Communism —1 can't understand it." "Hollywood Is the intellectual front of the V. 8. for Communism." Kravchenko testified. Social Security Numbers Required All workers who are employed or expect to lie employed In the ' canning factories in and around Adams county should have social security account numbers before beginning work, according to Christian H W Lnecke, manager of the Fort Way tie social security office. "While the work In the canning industry is usually seasonal, every person employed in this type of work must have a social security account number," Mr. Luecke said. "Employens are required to report the wages paid each employe, his name and account number when sending their tax report to the collector each quarter year. The post office will furnish the application blank used in obtaining an account number. o — Trade in a Good Town —Decatur RUPTURE Shield Expert Here H. M.

Often, when he bad been commissioned to do some new illustrations, or had contracted for an important cover job at some sort, bo was like thia, jumpy and excited. Val thought her mouth curving. Like a little boy who’s got a Christmas present for someone hidden in the closet and Isn't quits ready to bring It out yet Well, she jould wait to bear bls news. •What," Kevin demanded, “are you grinning that Cheshire cat grin about?* •Was I grinning?" Val asked innocently. "Must be happy, don't you suppose?" Kevin grinned, too. "Bo am L* -Why? Any particular reason?" Kevin pursed his lips consideringly.
