While there are cures for the little three-leaf plant’s poison, the National Health Department suggests in its advice to vacationists that better than a cure is prevention. Learn to recog­ nize the plant and give it a wide berth. Bolson ivy may appear as a lbw shrubby patch, bordering fences,, or as a climber like the Virginia creeper. But a little observation shows that it looks like no other plant. The leaves are borne al­ ternately on the stem and consist of three similar leaflets as in the strawberry.

In the early part of the summer, -clusters of .whitish flowers arise from the axils of the leaves and these are succeeded by round, dull white fruits about the size of‘a pea. “No other plant’has at the same time trifoliate leaves -and white fruits,” is the information obtain­ ed at the department. Poison ivy grows under a variety of conditions, but is most ' commonly found in' woods qnd fields. The slightest contact with the leaves, stem, flow­ er, fruit, or even the tiny hairs on I the stem, causes it to give off a 1 •wrllatilo nil ■nr'hJnTl nrriflll APGS STI ItnllV The Jolly Junior met on Sunday morning, July 13, with over thirty children present, Eleanor Hunkin presided, Jean Cann played while all sang “Listen to the Voice of Jesus”, Jack Cann read the Scripture lesson and Anne Morgan- led in prayer.
