l5eWure the Poison Ivy

By LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. D.

GA NUMBER of weeds will

and this also is true Of at least
one domesticatcd plant-the prim-
rose. The most frequent and, of
course, the arch-enemy, is the
family of Rhus-poison ivy, poi
son oak and poison sumac.
Not everyone is susceptible to
these eruptions. And apparently
all those who are sensitive acquire
their sensitivcncss by a single
contact which renders them liable
to severe eruption later. Baffin

which does not grow north Of the
St. Lawrence River. Newborn in
fants are not sensitive to poison
ivy. But 30 per cent of young
adults in the vicinity of Dallas,
where the plant grows abundant
~, react positively.
Primrose dcrmatitis is said to
occur in 5 per cent of adults. But
$50 medical students with no his
tory OF exposure showed negative
patch tests, while 8 per cent of
Dallas florists who handle the
plant reacted positively.
The Rhus family prepares it's
poison in the form of an oily,
sticky resin or sap that runs
through channels in the stems and
the leaves. Neither the pollen,

Injection Aid
Poison ivy grows in rich damp

United States except on the Pacific
Coast where it's cousin, the poison
oak, supplants it. Most vicious of

poison ivy is now done quite sue

REMINGTON HOME
 SEEKING FUNDS
Appeal Voiced for $4O,OOO to Continue Work for
 Crippled Children

The Newington Home for Crip- pied Children today issued an ap- peal for $40,O00 to aid in its care, treatment and education of crip- pied children during its coming fiscal year.
 The campaign is being conducted on a statewide basis under Mrs. F. Goodwin Smith, campaign com- mittee chairman, and Peter M. Fraser, president of the board of directors.
 A committee of more than 30 members will cover the state from Hartford, West Hartford, Avon, Bloomfield, Bristol, Bridgeport, New Haven, New Britain, Waterbury and New London.
 Needs Described
 The funds are to go toward the general operating expenses of the home. Miss Constance Leigh, home superintendent, today said:
 Starting with the new year, we are facing 8 large number of chill dren seeking admission, many of them longtime cases, many of them complicated cases entailing severe physical reconstruction. The children range from nursery school age through the last year of high school and educational facilities must be available so that they do not get out of step with their nor- nal contemporaries"
 Miss Leigh pointed out that l36 children were returned to their par entS or guardians during the past year and that about 85 per cent of them were restored to a condition that will enable them to function in their own homes and communi- ties.
 Some of the remainder, she said, must be classed as incurable but their life has been made happier and more contented by the educa- ton and training they have re- ceived, at the home.
 90 On Waiting List
 About 30 children are now on the homes waiting list and will be ad- mitted as soon as commitments can be secured, she said. She noted that of this number, two are of this years victims of infantile par alysiS, although the state was for- tunate in escaping Q high incidence of the disease.
 She said that the home is carry ing on outstanding work in the highly specialized surgery its pa- tients need and that it is receiving recognition for It's work with birth injury cases and its special research on oid-time. residual paralysis.
