There's only one trouble with
picking your own mushrooms.
BY the time you pick up a good
practical understanding Of
mycology to go with your en-
thuiSasm, six good friends may
be carrying you to your des-
tination.
There is no fooling about the
lethal quality of some mush-
roms, in the hands of those un-
daunted by their own ignor-
ance.
The big name among the
edible fungi is morel, whs'h-
ever of the three varieties are
handy in your hunting ground,
none of them. it should be
noted, are very handy.
Many of the commoner
varieties, though, are tasty too
After all, if a man can't catch
a native brook trout does that
mean he should throw away
the bluegills?
There is the meadow mush-
room or ''pinkie." And the
giant puffballs. which may
reach Is pounds or more. Then
there's the little inky cap, the
gemmed puffball and the
shaggymane.

is also the fly amanita-mus-
lcaria-bringer of wild delu-
sions and COMMISSIONS, which
responds only sluggishly to
prompt medical attention.
And there is also the death
angel" - amanita phalloides-
which carries a mysterious
alkaloid similar to rattleSnake
venom, and for which medicine
can offer no effective anti
dote. About one-half Of those
stricken by an oversode of
amanita phalloides, by the
book, usually will die.
Hence there is small excuse,
indeed. for fooling around
with unknown quantities in
mushrooms. Folklore is full of
fanciful ways to separate the
good mushrooms from the bad.
They have one thing in COM
mon. They don't work, Not
the bird-eaten variety. Not
the kind that fails to tarnish
a silver spoon.
There's really one rule needed
to keep a fine week end outing
safely separated from a fried
in-butter variety of Russian
roulette.
If you don't know what it is,
don't pick it.

Leroy S. Bendheim retored that
the charge was unfair.
Preparation First
1T would like to second your
motion, but I can't" he said.
Il know of two important
matters that this Council must
consider and it would be a dis
service to the people for us to
discuss them publicly be-
fore we have prepared our
selves privately -"
Let the people sit out there
and ask questions" said Mr.,
Ewald. Let them know what
we think"
He declared that false rumors
and erroneous reports have
been circulated concerning ac-
tivities at recent closed meet
ings of the council.
Emphasizing that the coun-
Gil never votes during workses-
sions aid that its official &C
ton comes only during open
meetings, Mayor Bendheim
said it would be impractical
and unjust for the Council to
discuss personalities publicly.
He also said it would be
detrimental to the city if prices
the Council had agreed to pay
for needed property were dis
closed prematurely.
Hearing Is Set
The Mayor added that a pub
lie hearing will be conducted
April % and that anyone then
can give views on the proposed
$l2.9 million city budget.
In its votin glaSt night the
Council authorized the Alex
andria Redevelopment and
Housing Authority to request
$50, 900 in Federal funds to pay
for the preparation Of a urban
renewal plan.
Under a previously an
nounced program which the
Council approved. the Council
also asked the Government, to
reserve $4,000 to start to re-
new an area bounded by Prince.
Washington. Pendleton and
Fairfax streets.
Denis H. Cahill, city plan
ming director, estimated that
more than Sc million would be
required if the entire area were
renewed as currently nviSloned.
Howepver, substantial part of
this will be recovered through
sale Of land to private invest
ors. The city will pay one
third of the difference and the
Government two-thirds.

distance and could go home fol

Community leaders earlier
had requested that a kitchen

plans for the schcol. Supt. C.

addition to the school would
have to be built in the near fu-
ture, and could contain kitchen
facilities.

The board also granted a
$376.400 contract to Clark &

has taught in county schools
more than so years. Miss Ter

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 (AP).
American women tend to
weigh less, and American
men to weigh more, than
they did a generation ago.
American men are taller,
perhaps by IL inches, than
they used to be, while women
are about half an inch taller.
Men start to gain weight
in their 20s, and level of
after age 40. Women hold the
diet line against weight in
crease until usually after
age 35.
Carries Risk
Being overweight carries a
risk of earlier death than
the average expectancy.
And even a fairly slight
rise in blood pressure can be
dangerous, so far as statis-
tical expectation of long life
goes.
These are main findings
from a huge study of body
build and blood pressure
among about five million
persons conducted by the So
ciety of actuaries. Twenty
six insurance companies CO.
operated.
One of the most signi-
f1cant findings is that small
above-average boosts in blood
pressure can signal dangers
ahead.
The results will also
