Word has ben received here that the Gas Station Forty Five" team of Thomaston is anxious to book a local forty-five team in series of contests. It is understood that Will liam Reeves the pioneer bus driver of this section has taken over the duties of coaching the team the finer points of forty-five, which has caused local forty-five players a smile as John P. O'Donnell and other outstanding players of this ancient game in Terryville know the caliber of Billie Reeves and Mike Madden's playing.
 Mir O'Donnell in stating the cali Der of the Thomaston players has stated that among the rules which must be followed by the Thomas ton players wen they invade Ter ryville is that they must not bring any heavyweights with them. as the few chairs which are left in the local halls probably would not be capable of holding the heavy weight any length of time and that the players cannot change seats after they once start playing, q stunt which John Barry and his players follow when they are play ing 0 losing battle.

Comes the Revolution

If you buy a meal in Wisconsin nowadays, and
pay more than Is cents for 1t, you have to eat some
cheese with ii. Or, to be exact, you have to buy
some cheese. whether you eat 1t or not. This Is under
the terms Of a new law. signed recently by Governor
LaFollette, designed to stimulate consumption OF
wisconsin, dairy products.
Maybe you don't like cheese? You'll buy 1t any
how. And It somehow reminds one Of the story OF
the radical who was haranguing a group Of buns on
the beauties OF Communism. When the revolution
came. he assured them. they would all eat strawberries
and cream for breakfast.
One brave soul objected, saying that he didn't like
strawberries and cream. The orator wagged his
finger sternly and shouted: Comes the revolution
and you'll eat strawberries and Greenland like i'll"
And in Wisconsin. you'll eat cheese, now

What Florida Is Doing

Prone as residents Of the Valley are to compare
this section and It's many attractions with California
and Florida. IL has appeared ut times that we rely
too much on our attractions and too little on letting
the world a large know about them. This is said in
critical manner. for the same thing may be said with
equal truth regarding both California and Florida.
especially regarding Florida.
California has for years conducted an advertising
campaign calling the attention Of the people Of the
rest Of the United States to the winter and summer
vacation advantages Of the state Of the native sons
and daughters. Florida and Texas have Jagged far
behind. In fact. the summer advertising conducted
In 1881 by the Brownsville Chamber of Commerce is
the only real and concentrated campaign OF the sort
that has been staged in and for Texas for many.
many years.
For these reasons. residents OF the Valley should
be interested in an Associated Press dispatch which
appeared recently In Florida newspapers. telling of q
plan sponsored by the governor Of the state to inau-
gurate q real Florida advertising campaign.
It follows:
CBy Associated Press)
TALLAHASSEE-A broad general plan to provide
O fund Of about s25O.oOo annually to advertise Florida
was launched here Tuesday ut a conference Of county
officials. representatives Of civic organization. news
papers. transportation agencies, and others.
The state chamber OF commerce took up the res
possibility for the campaign. and announced another
meeting would be held in Jacksonville July IL, when
methods to put the plan into fun effect viii be dis
cussed.
A coordination Of advertising efforts Of various
interests and public departments will be sought. so
that one national advertising campaign may be car
ried on.
Gov. Sholtz proposed a county fund Of 10 cents for
each resident as the nucleus for the general fund. He
estimated this would raise about $4,000 annually If
every county paid It's quota.
In addition. the state chamber Of commerce, the
all-Forida committee Of newspapers. transportation
agencies, hotel companies. resort c~enters. the state
department Of agriculture. and others will be asked
TO contribute.
Gov. Sholtz said county officials received his sug-
gestion for the county contribution Of 10 cents a per-
son with considerable interest" They designated
the officials Of their association Of county commits
sioners to carry on further conferences about the
plan.
The conference here was called by the governor as
the preliminary step toward a national advertising
campaign during the early fall to attract more tour
lists to Florida in the coming winter season

Beware of Poison Ivy,
If You Are Sensitive
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association
and or Hygeia. the Health Magazine
BY DIR MORRIS FIsHBEIN

Before this time Of year gets into your blood and you
decide to 20 camping or hiking, you should consider
whether you are susceptible to inflammation from
contact with poison ivy. II 50. you must be prepared
to cope with this disease, If you happen to come into
contact with the plant.
You can easily recognize the poison ivy plant by
the character OF its foliage, which always develops into
shoots Of three small leaves. It also occasionally has
white berries which look like those Of the mistletoe.
Poison ivy causes through the fact
that the person who Is sensitive gets from the sap Of
the plant an oily substance which contains the irri-
tant. This oil is found not only in the leaves and
stems, but also in the roots.
Usually the irritant is spread over the body Of the
person who becomes contaminated. He is likely TO
grasp the vine as he passes. He contaminates his
hands with the oily secretion. Thereafter, he hand
les his clothing or touches various portions Of his body
and spreads the irritant oil to them.
As soon as this irritant sap or oil comes in contact
with the skin Of a sensitive person. he begins to de-
velop a burning and itching sensation. Then the
skin becomes red and swollen and small blisters form.
These eventually may run together and form large
blisters.
Since the inflammation comes from the sap or oil
on the skin. the first important step is to get 1t Off
Oils are not easily soluable in water. Therefore. any
attempt to wash off the oil with water is not likely
TO be successful.
There are various substances which viii dissolve
the oil; for example, gasoline. However. it also Is
possible to dissolve the oil by making a thick soapy
lather which emulsIies the poisonous oil, and then
washing off the soapy lather from the skin with run
ming water.
Scratching the skin or rubbing it with q stiff brush
Is not a good procedure, because this tends TO break
the surface and to cause the irritant oil to pentrate.
Various medicinal solutions can be applied. but
they should be prescribed by the doctor who sees the
patient. To use them without a prescription may
lead TO harm

The Search Goes On

The kidnapping for ransom OF little George %syer-

which was beginning to think that energetic action

police units. had Just about destroyed the snatch

Nevertheless. despite this new evidence that gang
land is not yet cowed. the story Is only half told. 50
