By Charles E. TroceweN

They might not infect anyone, but
then again they might.
So look over all pretty leaves, and Sc
lect only those known to be safe.
In the home yard, poison ivy has a
way of growing up in the oldest places.
This is due to seeding by the birds. 1t
is one of the things charged against the
birds But without them poison ivy has
its own ways of throwing its seeds
around. getting them caught in the coats
of ANNALS. SO that the fresh new plants.
with all the vigor of weeds, grow in the
most unsuspected places.
In cleaning up the home grounds, look
around carefully for these plants. They
will be small and bushy. not more than
2 inches high, and as cute as buttons.
Root them out with a troWel, and
preferably wear gloves. Do not scrape
the gloves over the bare skin afterward.
If several poison ivy plants are handled.
be sure to wash the gloves thoroughly
afterwards.
Even when so protected, take the pre-
caution afterward to wash the hands
and wrists. and the face, too, with hot
water and soap. The traditional brown
soap is not necessary. Any good toilet
soap willsdo. But be sure to do good
job Of washing and drying. Remember.
1t is oil, not dirt, which is the problem.
Evening star., 1950-11-17
This and That :

ones skin is susceptible, for it is the
skin, after all, that must take it.
And it is the oil, of course, in the plant
that does the dirty work.
Since oils are clinging, this one stays
where it lands.
Oils tend to spread, and the oil in the
ivy is no less spreader, and SO manages
to cover more and more skin, If left
alone.
The thing to do, then. is not to leave
it alone, but get to work on it.
This will not be possible if one does
not recognize the plant.
Particularly in the fall, after the
first frost, this recognition is difficult,
because of the sheer beauty of the plant.
The red leaves are among the pret-
tiest of all red leaves. They will attract
any eye, especially if not wood-wise.
All intruders in forests at this time
of year, including motorists as well as
mixers, should take care that they speak
to themselves of this danger before
starting out.
In this way one is on the watch. and
will not say, "Oh. look at the pretty
leaves!" They are very pretty, that is
true, but they carry sting.
Under no circumstances should ivy
leaves be taken home. n

livelihood, that fact was more often than not
obscured by the many unselish tasks he under
took for the community There were many of
them, for he was the sort of person to whom
others naturally turned for the type of leader
ship he was able to furnish. He gave to every
thing he undertook wholesome enthusiasm, an
ability to inspire confidence from others and
very genuine sense of duty. There is probably
no member of the Washington community who
so frequently has been called, on and whose
willingness to respond to such calls so clearly
reflected his friendliness and anxiety to do his
part as a good citizen. He will be sadly missed
in Washington, by those whom he represented
so well as sort of unofficial ambassador of the
entertainment industry and by great number
of friends who were in his debt for many gra-
cious and kindly things he did for others.

The poison ivy season is not over.
Don't let those bright red leaves fool
you.
Or those glossy green leaves, arranged

Even if you root them out, cut them
down, and burn them, they can still give

In this way the smoke is likely to

Shenandoah Stur-Guzer'

1t was like fresh breeze from the
past to read, and then re-read, ''Notes of
a Shenandoah Star-Gazer" on Friday
evenings Star editorial page.
The authors experience will appeal to
many, and particularly to those of us
who, as long ago as the first World War,
paced the deck as amateur navigators,
fearfully afraid that our recently ac-
quired navigational knowledge would be
put to too severe test!
AS with Miss Egan, picking up Fomal-
haut was feat that strained the abili-
ties of many of us junior navigating
officers. And sometimes we had visions
of the Old Man suddenly appearing on
the bridge, commanding us to pick UP
the star Fomalhaut for him and then
giving us a soaring look when we failed.
Those were the days! And many
thanks to Miss Egan and The Star for
so vividly bringing them back in our
Imagination.
