DOS and DON'Ts About
Poison Ivy

Don't think you are immune. After
initial contact with poisonous plants,
your skin may become sensitized to
them,
Don't think you can get q lease"
by touching someone's OOzing blisters.
It's harmless tissue fluid.
Don't bandage the sores. Air has a
drying effect.
Here are a few precautions:
Learn to recognize the leaves Of
poison ivy, oak and sumac.
II you come in contact with one Of
them, scrub within an hour with
strong laundry soap to wash off the
plants irritating oil.
Use weed killers to rid your yard Of
poison ivy. Some effective chemicals
include ammonium sulfamate, BAD
acknowledgements acid, ammon-
ium thiOcyanate, carbon disulfide,
bOrax and fuel oil. After applying
solution, wash clothes in hot soda
solution and s0apsuds.

O. Is money a factor in the development of missiles

funds All these programs subjected to some cut

This statement does not apply to many badly

areas.
In many fields we virtually scraping the bottom

Secondly while adequate funds available for

never enough to advance the art" typical example
is that we don't have a real powerful rocket engine
today simply because of present crash missile
