Respect Ivy.
Game Men Warn

Poison ivy, the annual summer
time menance to pleasant vaca-
tionS, will take a nip at just as
many innocent people this year
as always; therefore, those who
spend a great deal of time in the
out-of-doors are urged to give the
plant a wide berth when the
poisonous variety can be identi-
fled.
Field men of the Ohio Division
of Conservation who spend the
majority of their working hours
in the fields and woodlands have
learned that there is no sure
immunity to the plant although
some persons seem to possess a
marked resistance to the action
of the poison; however they "a
void the plant whenever possible
There are some so varieties of
poison ivy plants. The leaves
vary in shape and often are hid
den by other plants. For this
reason they are hard to avoid.
The 3-leaved variety seems to
cause the most serious damage.
The average duration of symp-
toms is ten days. While most of
the cases are without complica-
tions, a secondary infection oc-
casionally occurs, causing alb
cesses, enlarged glands and even
blood poisoning. In any severe
case of ivy poisoning, the victim
should see a physician at once.
If a person knows he has been
in contact with poison ivy, wash
ing with kerosene or gasoline and
strong alkali soap may remove
the poisonous weed oil, but this
must be done Immediately to be
effective.
Under no circumstances should
the superstitious practice of
chewing poison ivy leaves be
followed in an attempt to provide
immunity.
It is because the oil of the
plant can be carried on clothing
and on the fur of animals thai
many persons find themselves in.
fected although they are positive
they never have been near the
weeds.

Poisonous Snakes
Can't Harm Selves

Even if a snake wanted to, he
couldn't give himself a dose of
his own poison. Nature has pro-
vided the poisonous snake with
its personal system of immuni-
ZatiOn.
There is an old theory a sanke
will not use his poison when kill
ing birds or small animals which
it intends to use on his dinner
table. Contrary to popular opin-
ion the poison fangs are used pri-
marily for killing food and only
secondarily as a means of de-
fense. Which merely means that
snakes just don't go around biting
people just for the fun of it. They
attack people or dogs as a rule,
only when they are cornered and
need their poison injecting fangs
for defense.

Best Marked Roads in Country,

Warning signs are, as the name
implies, to warn the driver that
he is approaching a potential haz-
ard, such as a crossroad, curve,
railroad crossing, etc.
Guide signs are erected along
the higway to inform the motor
ist of the route he is using or
approaching, the town or village
he is near, the county he is en-
tering or leaving, etc.
Need of the sign must first be
ascertained by the traffic divi-
sion. Spot checks are frequently
made to justify erection of the
sign. The Highway Department
is ever alert to the installation of
signals which it deems necessary
to the public protection and in

A report just completed by
Daniel L. Leedy and Charles A.
Dambach of the Ohio Wildlife|
Research Unit at Ohio State
University, in cooperation with
the Ohio Division of Conserva-
ton, shows that Ohio hunters
and fishermen spend 30 million
dollars annually in pursuit of the
states wildlife resources. The
report is based on 1947 figures.
Fifteen representative Ohio
counties were used in the store
to-store survey to determine how
much hunters and fishermen
spend, together with question
naire polling of representative
number of hunters and fisher
men picked at random.
The report states that there are
9l58 business in the state de-
pendent on wildlife resources or
the sports associated with wild
life. These include those estab-
lishments engaged in selling,
servicing and manufacturing
hunting and fishing equipment;
hardware stores, however, polled
in a l3-county area reported
that 1876 per cent of their total
income is dependent on the hunt
ing and fishing sports. General
stores reported that 2l.4 per
cent is traced to the sale of
hunting and fishing equipment.
The l947 survey of hunter and
fisherman expenditures shows
that the average hunting license
holder spent S4l88 compared to
S5695 spent by the average fish
erman.
Nearly 5000 hunters polled re-
ported spending 3l.l0 per cent
of their outlay for clothing; 28.-
98% for guns; 11.77% for am
munition; 12.08% for gas and oil
and lesser amounts for meals,
lodging and so on. Slightly less
than 5000 fishermen reporting IN
the poll said they spent %. 2.l5%
of their fishing expenditure for
tackle; 15.48% for gas and oil; g.
7l% for meals; 6.07% for lodg-
ing; 6.15%6 for bait and 4.86%

ers, etc, specifies to the makers
the needed marker. The trend,
all the way along, is toward
simplification.
Purpose of road signs is to
warn and guide the motorist, and
may be divided into three gener-
al groups: l. regulatory signs; 2.
warning signs; and 3. guide signs
or markers.
The first group includes those
which regulate or control a driv-
er's movement, requiring him to
stop, limit his speed, prohibit
parking or passing in certain area.
etc.
Stop signs are black on yellow
in color, and is the only sign
which is octagonal or eight-sided.

Kids Hold Bicycle Court

Reckless bicycle riders will be
hailed into a special court to face a
jury of their Juvenile peers in
Bloomfield, N. J. The court is being
started by police and school au-
thorities and tentative plans call for
court sessions once a week in each
of five elementary schools. Five stu
dents will be jurors and a police
officer will preside. Suggested pen
alties for bike riders are an essay
on bicycle safety for first offenders
and suspension of bike riding priVi-
leges for third offenders.

Freak Animal Accidents

A great many wild animals are
killed each year in freak accidents.
Wild buck deer often lock horns
when charging each other head on,
and eventually die of starvation. A
few swift running animals, like the
kangaroo, meet death upon collid-
ing with stationary objects - they
simply fail to look where they are
going. Pigeons and other birds
sometimes die from eating dried
seed, then drinking water. The food
expands, bursts their crops.

STATEMENT OF
HON. WILLIAM H. HASTE,
GOVERNOR
OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

Mr.. Reed. Are there any
other questions?
Mr.. Ellis. Mr.. Chairman, l
would like to inquire.
Mr.. Reed. Mr.. Ellis?
Mr. Ellis Governor, I be-
lleve you stated that the local
tax income was approximately
|Sl,lOO,OO0 with a possibility
that under this legislation
there would be an additional
|S5O0,OO0 or 1000, 900 as the pos
Isible average.
You speak of your needs
being 100000. My first re-
action to that figure is that
this is an enormous sum of
money for a population of ap-
~proximately $4,000 in compar-
'lson with a community of like
population III the United
States.
Governor Plastic, It is .
community now of a little ov-
Ter 10000, but let me remind
you that this will be a combin-
alton of Federal, State, and
municipal funds. When you
think OF a community of that
sort, say, a county, then it is
the county budget, but there is
not only the county budget,
but there is the State budget,
there is the Federal budget,
also.
We are thinking now in
terms of the totality of money
for the whole business of the
State.
Mr.. Mason. Governor, for
the enlightenment Of the gen
from West Virginia, /
want to say that the Federal
taxes from a city of 10000 is
i$1,200,O 900, and that is Federal
alone, today.
Governor HASTE. May | con-
clude, Mr.. Chairman, with on
" one final observation?
, 1948-05-10

Mr.. Reed. Yes.
Mr.. Ellis. What is the extent
{ot your welfare operations
down there which are similar
to our public assistance?
Governor HASTE. Welfare
has had an interesting history.
There is a long tradition of
public assistance under the
Danes, both through the Roy
al Treasury and through trust
funds which philanthropic PEG
pie turned over to the local
government, the interest being
used for welfare purposes.
We now provide direct as
distance to approximately 1000
INDECENT persons in amounts
that average no more than SIS
a month.
II you were to ask whether
anyone lives on SIS a month,
think you would be told that
you cannot live on SIS a month.
People, through private chart
ty and the kindness Of mer-
chants, ct cetera, exc out a
little more than those who are
completely INDECENT, but our
public assistance amounts to
about SIS a month for about
1000 people.
Then, we do have some SER
vices. Our welfare department
has a home-nursing service,
people who go around to help
those who are bed-ridden or
who cannot help themselves.
We have free medical service
for the INDECENT, ct cetera, and
the assistance that WE are Civ
ing now is about SIS a month
for 1000 people.
]
Mr.. Ellis. That is all / have.
Governor HASTE. Mr.. Chair
man, | wonder if | might re-
quest permission to have in
troduced into the record a
summary Of the projects for
Improvement of our economic
conditions which we contem-
plate. That statement is now
in preparation for submission
Ito the Public Lands Committee
at a hearing tomorrow, and I
think it might be of interest
to this committee, also to have
lit,
Mr.. Reed. How long is it? Is

Mothers Day

IHOIIISI , Lay ~
was Mothers Day. Of the MANY HOLIDAYS and
Gays OF note set aside to honor persons and groups of persons
perhaps none is more significant than Mothers Day. 1t Isl the
one day when each and every human being can take time outl
i at no other time to express gratitude for his, or her, mother
and to do something about it. So much has been said and writ
ten about that great day that there is always the temptation toE
call attention to it, and add one more voice to the place which
Mother holds in the life of each home, each community, and
the nation as a whole.
YESTERDAY thousands upon thousands over the nation
flocked to the churches to give thanks for mothers, and
pray Tor their continued influence upon the life of all. We did
the same here. People spored red or white carnations, as was
appropriate. But in each. and every case the flower worn in
dicated that the wearer was thinking of the one person, un-
beneficial in his own life.
MANY distinguished men have left with US their ndyingI
honor OF Mother, which has come down as monuments. The
everpopular Mother Machree was sung again and again, and
the painting which comes to mind at this time is Whistlers
Greatest of all mothers, of course, is the Virgin Mary, whose
care and training Of her son must have influenced his future
life a life which changed the entire course of events in the
world.
WE here had taken time out also to honor the pressing prob
lens OF the day-the economic crisis and all else--to honor the
one person who is responsible for the good in our lives. Re-
gardless of how it was done, or expressed, it nevertheless had
the same effect There were gifts and flowers and expressions,
including many programs, but over and above all was the.
basic gratitude for the years Of nurture, the kindly and wise
advice, and the positive guidance in the right direction.
