ROBE EDITORIAL
LAUDS DR. DUFF
The Monday edition of The Tot
ronto Globe & Mail carried editor:-
1a' reference to the late Dr, Louis
Blake Duff, a native of 13luevale,
who was buried the same day. The
editorial reads as follows: ,
"Louis Blake Duff was one of
those rare men, whose intellectual
curiosity molds their lives and en-
riches all who come in . contact
with • theta. His death at the age
of 81 ends a fruitful career dur-
ing which he made a notable con-
tribution 'to the life and letters of
this country, particularly of the
Niagara Peninsula,
'Dr, Duff 'was a man of many
parts—a composite man, as 'a uni-
versity president once called him.
He began work as a teacher, be-
came a capable newspaper editor,
then had a successful career in the
world of finance. Whatever he wit-S
doing, he found time to indulge
his 'love of books, his respect for
and,sensitivity to local and "MA/
tional history. \
"He had the articulate 'ease of
expression which made writing and
speaking .a pleasurable, experience
for both him and his audience.• His
career as a public speaker spanned
40 years in. Canada and the Unit-
ed States,, and he took every on-
portunity whichthis broad platform
offered to stress the importance of
history,, its lessons and pleasures.
As a scholar, his original research
brought to light many hitherto un-
known facets of -Canadian history
and , facts , about the , personalities
who made that history.
"Dr, Duff.deplored what. he call-
ed the booklessness of Canadians,
their adisinterest in literature. As
a passionate bibliophile—his own
library contained ,10,000 volumes—
he could not help but be depressed
by, this characteristic which he
considered a national ' trait. He
decried, too, the absence of muse-
ums in Ontario, particularly in the
small towns where local history
could be preserved, He was critical
of Canadians for ignoring their
history, in contrast to the way
Americans venerated their heroes
and national shrines.
"A man of warmth and wit, he
had a multitude of friends. We
join them in paying tribute to his
achievements and his memory."
MODERN CHEMICALS
KILL POISON IVY
Each -year, hundreds of holidays
are married `by an "innocent 'looking
three-leafecl'' Trltint-;-•pelion iVy.-
Some people can touch this pesky
weed without any ill effects but
for others even a whiff of the
fumes from broken or burning
plants *ill cause the itchy blisters
to appear.
It is relatively easy to rid an
area of this dreaded plant with
modern chemicals, Three which -do
an' effective job are Chipman
poison ivy and brush killer, atlacide
and amino triazole. All three are
used as a spray but care should be
taken that none of the -chemical
gets' on trees, plants or shrubs for
it will destroy them along with
the,poison ivy plant. It'anay take
two 'treatments to remove the weed
so check it two or three weeks
after the first spraying. If there
are still some parts of the plant
'thriving, spot-treat them with an-
other spraying. Never burn the
weed beciuse particularly sensitive
people may be affected by the
volatile oil in the smoke.
Though poison ivy doesn't grow
in cultivated areas, it often thrives
in the, wood around summer cot-
tages, camps- and picnic grounds—
just where people congregate. It
is wise to inspect these areas
thoroughly before children and
pets begin exploring. Even the
family dog or cat can carry enough
sap on its •hair to contaminate a
sensitive person.
Poison ivy plays no favorites.
Young and old alike are affected by
its sap. If someone does come in

IMMUNIZATION IS
STILL NECESSARY
The recent polio scare in Mont-
real emphasizes the fact that the
need for immunization against
such communicable diseases as
poliomyelitis, smallpox, diphtheria,
and whooping-cough is just as
-vital as ever, Immunization Week,
which is sponsored by thp Health
League of Canada, will take place
all across the country, with the co-
operation of departments of health
and education from. September 20
to 26,
Dr. Wishart, chairman of the
immunization committee, pointed
out that poliomyelitis, in particular,
had moved from being a disease of
children, into the adult area. It is
earnestly hoped that those aged
20 and over will avail themselves
.of this protection, as the -disease
is more deadly and severe in older

age groups,.**nd particularly in
pregnant mothers," he saki.
He also mentioned the quadruple
vaccine, which. combines immun-
zing agents, protecting against
polio, diphtheria, tetanus, and
whooping cough. Immunization
against these diseases is achieved
by the single course of injections.
"Just because such diseases as
smallpox and diphtheria have be-
come so rare is no reason to ne-
glect immunization. Two years
ago, in a large city in Western
Canada, there was an outbreak of
diphtheria totalling 69 cases and
6 deaths. In the same year there
were 166 cases and numerous
deaths in a large U.S. border city.
Such deaths are doubly tragic to-
day when 'there is a safe effective
preventive available," be said. Dr.
Wishart concluded by urging all
Canadians to see that they and
their families protect themselves
through immunization, not only
during Immunization Week, but
th?oughout the year.
