the Only Cause and Creator"
Golden Text: Psalms Sc: 9, 10. All
nations whom thou hast made
shall come and worship before
thee, o Lord; and shall glorify
thy name. For thou art reat, and
doest wondrous things: thou art
God alone. A Bible citation from
the lesson-sermon is: I Corinthians
13: 9, 10, II. For we know in part,
and We prophesy in part. But
when that which is perfect is
come, then that which is in part
shall be done away. :. For now we
see through a glass, darkly; but
then face to face: now I know in
part; but then shall I know even
as also I am known. A correla-
tive passage from the Textbook
"Science and Haelth with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy is: Up. 264). AS mortals gair

the way in Christian Science and
recognize mans spiritual being,
we shall behold and understand
Gods creation,-all the glories of
earth and heaven and man.

WARNING BY
HEALTH BOARD
VacatiOnists Should Keep On
the Lookout For POis-
on Ivy
SYMPTOMS OF POISON

Picknickers, woods lovers, BIZ
cyclists and vacationists should
keep on the lookout for poison ivy,
warns the State Board of Health,
lest they return to work with their
efficiency greatly reduced or end
their vacations in no condition to
work at all. Fortunately, it is not
especially difficult to distinguish
the ivy vine from other forms of
plant life, and a little care is all
that is needed to save oneself from
regrets and pain.
Poison ivy has three leaves, two
of them on short stems and the
other, the center one, on a longer
stem. It's leaves are dark green
in appearance and are usually, but
not always, notched along the
edges. The poson is contained in
the sap that flows through every
part of the plant and is particular
ly poisonous during the spring and
summer months.
Coming in contact with the
plant, even very gently as in
brushing against it, will cause
poisoning if the sap touches the
skin, or poisoning may spread to
the body when shoes or clothing
are handled that have been touch
ed by the plant. Even if dry
stalks of this plant are burned the
sap may rise with the SCOT and
cause poisoning some distance
away. Cats or dogs may bring in
the sap on their fur and cause
poisoning to those who pet them
Symptoms of poison ivy may ap'
pear shortly after trip into the
woods or several days later. The
original itching and burning of the
skin may develop later into severe
blisters which require medical at
tention.
One simple precaution, sa.
health officers, is to thorough.
wash the skin with strong laundr.
soap and hot water in generous
1athering Immediately after expos

wash away the sap which is in

taken not to spread the poison t
other areas of the skin, nor to us

deeper layers and cause more ser
ious damage.

ing in their gardens to have this
protection from their family ply
sician. A few injections now are
all that are needed to give rela-
tive freedom from ivy poisoning
during the summer months. The
injections are also effective in
treating the rash for those who
did not take the precaution of de-
sensitization.

Sentencing of Joseph p. Kamp
vice chairman of the Constitutional

this week of contempt of Congress,
was postponed yesterday in District
Court until Wednesday after he
objected to being placed on proba-
ton.
Visiting Judge Ben Moore of West
Virginia indicated he might place
Kamp on probation instead Of send
ing him to Jail.
Kamp told the court he objected
to probation because it implies
have not been a good citizen" He
said he always had been q good
citizen.
In postponing the sentencing,
Judge Moore said that nevertheless
he would refer the case to the proba-
tion officer and, in the meantime,
consider what other way the case
might be handled as to sentence.
Kamp was found guilty of con-
tempt for failing to produce records
Of the league before the House
Committee on Campaign Expend-
itures. The committee had sought
a list of persons who had contributed
