WarnPoisonous MushromIs InOhioWoods False Morel, a poisonous mush room, is appearing in Ohio woods at this ?ime o f year, warns I. C. 'Hoffman, of the department of horticulture at the Ohio agricul tural experiment, station. It is known to be deadly poisonous, but in seme cases the victims have recovered after several days o f intense suffering. This species has a cap 2 to 3 inches broad, rounded, lobed ir regular, s m o o t h “ brain-like” shape, and bay-red. The stem, 2 to 2 1-2 inches long is stout, slightly scurfy, stuffer or hollow, whitish and often irregular. It occurs in .wet ravines or in springy places in the vicinity of pine trees, and it is frequently found on sandy soil in May or June. The braii-like wrinkles and the chesnut-red coloring of the cap distinguish this species from any o f the morels, or sponge mushrooms. There is another poisonous form , the brown gyromitra, which is common in rich woods soil, mostly in beech-leaf mold and ap pears also in the spring, soys C o ffm an . It is a rich chocolate jbrown or paler where leaves cov- fer tlie surface. This is not so in c i t in g to the mushrooms gather- Ter as the False Morel so it i3 fmore likely to he passed up. Its .^reputation- fo r being poisonous Is JSst as bad.

SchoolsGet SecondDivy OfStateFunds Greene county schools received payment from the state on the second installment recently. The total was $120,360.

StudentsMust HaveSSCardfor SumerJobs Frank Good, field representa tive o f the Dayton office o f the s o rial security administration asks this question of all high school students: “ Are you going to work during your summer va cation?” Good, who is in the Xenia post- office building every Monday at 12:30 p. m., said, those students who plan to work on jobs covered, by social security should take ac tion now to obtain a social se curity number. Employers will require them to show their social security cards when they are hired. Students who have never fcad a. social security number should obtain one when reasonably sure they are going to work. Students who have lost their cards should ask fo r a duplicate card immed iately. The duplicate card will have on it the same number which was assigned on the ori ginal card. You only use ofte so cial security number during your lifetime. Applications for an ori ginal or a duplicate social secur ity card may be obtained at any office o f the social security ad ministration. Hugh A. McNary, Jr., mana ger of the Dayton social securtiy office, cautions, “ It is the em ployee’s responsibility^ to have this social security card and to show it to his employer the first day on the job. By doing this he is insuring that all w,ages will be credited fo his social seceurtiy ac count. An employee’s name and number are both required in or der to post wages to his account. The amount o f wages, credited to a social security number deter mines whether^ insurance pay ments may be made to the work er at age s65, or to the survivors o f a worker who dies at-any age,” A SPONSOR REDEDICATION MONTH IN OHIO—Planning Ohio’s partici-! pation in die .observance o f June as “Rededication Month,” Governor Frank!

It gave the Jackets a record of nine victories and seven defeats for the season. MarCus Townsley was on the mound and pitched shutout .ball until tho-eighth inning.

Recommendations GivenonUseof 2,4-DinCornField There is little change from 1949 in the recommendations for spraying weeds in corn, according to C. J. Willard, associate in agronomy of th’e Ohio agricultur al experiment station. C o r n should he treated with 1-4 to 1-2 pound per acre o f 2,4-D as soon as the weed seedlings are well through the ground. Com is less injured by early spraying than by spraying later, continues Willard. Spraying will replace one cultivation, and it seems desireable to replace the tedious first cultivation. Howevev, grasses will not he killed by this, spray, nor will some tolerant broad-leaved weeds, such as black nightshade. . Es t e r formations of 2,4-D should be used at slightly lower rates than amine salts. Many companies this year are making formulations with an even num ber pounds of 2,4-D per gallon so that doses are more e asily cal culated and measured. As soon as corn is large enough so that sprays can be' applied under it, drop nozzles should be used, provided they put the spray aon top of the weeds. Temporay brittleness and bending are com mon results of spraying com over 12 inches high, and the larger the corn, the more serious this is. More abnormal brace roots are produced by spraying 3 to 4 weeks after the corn is up. These have littfe or no effect on yield, con cludes. Willard. Shaws Buy and Sell Town Property.

John Stanley Harker of Hamilton, who addressed gradu ates at Cedarville college's an nual commencement exercises in the United Presbyterian church Monday night. Dr. Ira D. Vayhinger, college president, presided at the rites and conferred degrees on 29 stu dents, presented provisional three-year teaching certificates to three others and awarded two honorary doctor of divinity,, de grees. Recipients of honorary degrees were Rev.. Day Kennedy, pastor tff Sugarcreek United Presbyter ian church, near Dayton, and Rev. Rodney Thaine Taylor, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of the Falling Spring, Chambersburg, Pa. Both are Cedarville college graduates and received their ministerial training at Pittsburgh Xenia Theological seminary in Pittsburgh. Rev. Kennedy, who was gradu ated from Cedarville in 1928 and from Pittsburgh seminary in 1931, served as pastor of the United Presbyterian church in Mt. Airy, O. before coming to Sugarcreek. He was moderator of the second ■synod of the U. P. church in 1948 and is now chairman of that sy- ' nod’s committee on evangelism. Rev.

Mr. Har ker spoke on “Living in ^Chang ing World.” * . “ This is a changing world,” he said. It always has been and >we hope it never ceases to be. If a man wants to live successfully, he must learn to look inwardly, to develop initiative and to know himself. Man’s heaviest respon sibility is to keep his own right of independent thinking.” Continuing, Rev. Harker said: “A man must look outwardly. E’ ^ryone is his brother’s keeper. There must he an interdependence among men. The blessings of this world enn only be a reality if we learn the true meaning of Chris tian brotherhood. There is no hope for our world unless all men be come brothers in Christ.” “Man to live triumphantly also must look upward,” he concluded. “He must acknowledge God’s de answer to every problem. He must pendence for in Christ there is ‘an tie his life to the Great Personal ity of the universe,” Music was furnished by the col lege mixed chorus, directed by Miss Nancy Bost with Miss Mary Louise Stormont as accompanist.

Kauer, director o f the Ohio department o f highways appealed today to the state pride 'of all Ohio motorists planning out-df state vacations this summer. He compared Ohio’s summer tourists to ambassadors upon behavior the state’s reputation among its sister states depends. “Whether we like it or not, “Kauer said, “ citizens of all states judge us Buckeyes by the conduct o f the drivers with cars bearing our license plates.” All state -traffic officials, it was pointed out, are faced with the problem of out-of-state tour- , ists during the summer. They, like our own officials, want the motorists- to return home with a good opinion of their state hut the current trend among such officials is to enforce traffic regulations rigidly regardless of the driver’s home. Kauer said that the question of whether the tourist might expect leniency or not should not be the -factor influencing his driving habits. His pwn safety, consider ation fo r the -rights of- those he is visiting and pride4in the li cense plate his car bears should be the prime reasons for careful, courteous driving. Kauer also extended a welcome to out-of-state visitors as the annual influx o f summer tour ists in Ohio picked up momentum. He urged that, as visitors, they exercise courteous, sane driving. "Driving safely is simply in surance , that ,the vacationist, whether an Ohio or out-df-state driver, will have the gpod time, that he wants’ to have. The main.' thing is: have a safe trip!” * Former Dentist Dies in Oklahoma 'Futieral set-vices for Dr. J. W.
