Question Can you tell me
what to use on the poison oak to
kill it? I. T.
Answer . Ammonium sulfa
mate, 2, 4, 5-T and a combination
of 2, 4, 5-T and 2, 4-D are three
means of eradicating poison oak.
However, remember that these
materials will also kill other
shrubs. Ammonium sulfamate
seems the more safe if you are
using it near other shrubs. How
ever, use care even with this.

And if the 12-year-old from Ken

looks at it he will walk into the

stony bead strung on a safety pin.
An of the preambles happened
in Memphis. The Press-Scimitar is
among Scripps-Howard newspa
pers which annually sponsor the
big spell-down. The finals are
held here. '
Bill already has outspelled his
buddies at home and went to Mem
phis to compete in the mid-South
competition. After he won there,
he was whisked into a taxicab
with a nice guy named J. Z. How
ard, managing editor of the Press
Scimitar., as his guide. Idea was
to. put the lad on television.
Good Lack Charm,
Also in ' the cab were BUI'S
mother. Mrs. Paul Kelley. and
his grandmother. Mrs. H. B. Kel
ley, both of Kennett and both
good spellers.
Anyhow, the conversation in the
back seat got around how to spell
this and that and the driver of
the cab couldn't but flap Ms ears
and hear what was going on.
"You the new mid-South spell
ing champ?" asked hackie Ben
nie Aronwald. "Well, you can't
miss, laddie, if you take this little
good luck token."
Cabbie Bennie fished around in
his pocket and came up with that
stony bead; fastened to a safety
pin.

"I've got it all in the bank," he
said. "And not only that, , just by
