in sociology at Brandeis Uni
versity learned from the lips of
former Representative Laurence
H. Banks, the primary and peril
nent facts regarding the politi-
cal and economical conditions
confronting the Hubs colored
citizenry. During the question
period, the query popped up
whether or not there was any
discrimination in Boston. Atty.
Banks then pointed out that in
housing even in public housing
projects, discrimination was en-
countered; also in employment.
AS a case to the point, the
Orchard Park project was cited.
During the one hour class period,
Atty. Banks stated to the stu
dents, There is discrimination
in Boston similar to that in tine
South, only here it is more
subtle"

At the end of the 28th day of

only $154,678, dangerously short

$4,000 behind the figure for the

gan.
Des te this unfavorable state

third consecutive year, is again
the first community to exceed its

$l538, or ITO per cent.
Only Easthampton and Ware
have reached the three quarter
mark, but Haverhill with 73 per
cent, Brookline with 70 per cent
and Westfeld with 20 per cent
show indications of reaching
their goal shortly. Almost all
other communities are trailing
and, according to Mrs. Edward
L. Logan, campaign chairman,
there will have to be a decided
increase in last minute giving if
the Bay State Society for the
Crippled and Handicapped is
finally to make its goal.
'The situation is critical" Mrs.
Logan declared. Crippled chill
dren throughout the state are
depending on the generosity of
all of us. Without the necessary
funds, many who need the help
which the Bay State Society fur
nishes may be denied the oppor-
tunity of training, which will
prepare them for a life of use
fulness and independence.
"Some of the Society's out
standing services face drastic
curtailment unless the $4,000
goal is reached shortly. Almost
all of its plans for expansion into
fields of rehabilitation of the
handicapped which have been
too long neglected, undoubtedly
will have to be postponed, thus
depriving many of their only
opportunity for badly needed
help.
q am appealing to all Massa-
chusetts citizens to lend a help
ing hand today to those less
fortunate than they. Simply
address a generous contribution

Malone concluded, 1T is rea-

disaster resulting from eXplo-

occur in the City of Boston. The
extent of the damage to life and
property which might result
from such a disaster, can not be
foreseen, but the loss of life and
property can be minimiZed by
preparation in advance to meet
the hazards which city-wlde
disaster may involve.
With this thought in mind,
the plans of organization for the
Civil Defense of Boston has been
prepared and the serious CO.
operation of all citizens of the

her 500 cash. if she would sign a
release Of all claims. When a doc
tor told the girl that her injury-was
nothing serious" she decided to
take the 500 and sign the release.
Unfortunately, the doctor was
wrong. The girls arm soon grew
much worse, and finally became
permanently lame. Some months
later, she filed suit against the
company for additional damages.
She said she had signed the release
without realizing how serious the
injury was" But the court re-
jected her claim. The Judge said
that she had signed away her
rights with her eyes wide open

Pokeweed is another edible
plant" that can be fatal. Its shoots
are still harvested and eaten like
asparagus in remote mountain re
gions, but if even a bit of the root
in included the results may be
fatal
The Cherokees made bread
from. flour ground from the kern
ell of the common buckeye, which
when eaten raw, is distinctly
poisonous. They extracted the tox
ic substance by liberation, that is
letting water seep through the

the filterate had lost its yellow
tint.

plants, most of them priced in

poisonous); castor Oil bean, fatal;

PLANTS THAT ARE
POISONOUS

The tragic death OF three chill
dren in Wise county should re-
mind parents everywhere to eau
ton little children against nibbl-
ing at amy heritage, wild or of the
garden variety. Many familiar
plants conceal fatal or near-fatal
poisons within Misunderstanding
foliage, flowers and fruits. The
toxic qualities of many such
plants are not accurately known,
and self-styled non-professional
authorities are not to be trusted
The wild or cow parsnip'
which is reported to have beer,
fatal to the three children at Coz
burn was actually one of the pril'
cipal sources of spring greens for
our coastal Indians. But like the
pokeWeed, equally common west
of the Mississippi, some of its
parts were edible only in early
stages of seasonal development
while others were almost certain
to prove fatal unless the power
full emetic called for was prompt
ly administered.
In country districts some of the
wilderness lore about edible
plants has survived, but garden
greens and modern medicines
have become so common that the
surviving information is unreli-
able. 1t is best to teach children
that all unfamiliar weeds must
be regarded as potentially danger
GUS
The tender leaf and flower
stalks of the COW parsnip have
been described as "tenptingly
sweet and agreeably aromatic"
and therefore would appeal to
children, especially if they had
heard some old-times brag about
how they used to eat this herb ''in
the good old days" The early set
tiers and Indians knew that COW
parsnips were edible only before
the flowers opened and after the
outer skin had been peeled off.
