It grows under a var- iety of conditions, wet or dry, shaded or exposed, and in any soil from fine sand or rocky ground to rich soils in woods. It is seldom found in culti- vated land but it is plentiful in stretch- es of unoccupied areas, or in secluded nooks and corners which children love to explore. When picnickers happen upon what seems to be an ideal spot in an open space by the shores of a wooded lake, their first thought should be of the ' possible presence of poison ivy. Some people are immune to its poison some of the time but all people are not exempt from infection all of the time. Poisoning is the result of contact with any part of the plant—leaves, flower, and roots—or from clothing; boots, and tools that have the oily juice of the ivy on them. The initial stage of poisoning is a mild, itchy sensation, followed by the development of blisters, which on breaking become painful oozing sores. The treatment is to wash thoroughly with strong laundry soap in running water as soon as possible after suspec- ted contact, Use plenty of soap. By washing immediately before the oil of the ivy has had time to penetrate the skin, poisoning may be avoided. Other- wise when the irritation -becomes ap- parent, medical aid should be obtained as soon as possible, n, BLUEVALE The SHUN-GAIN way means bigger profits Mission sand Meth.; The Happy Hearts Mission Band of the United Church held a picnic at the manse on Friday afternoon, July 13th.
