WALZEH United Press Financial Editor Detroit rtf) A new car, the Edsel, made it's debut here Tues day, every bit like a beautiful f girl being m- iroaucea io so ciety. The nation's viewed the latest addition of engineering skill for Ame r i c a on wheels along with all the Ford officials. Elmer Waller The ceremony recalled to some old-timers an occasion about 49 years ago when the model T was launched. And later in the late 1920s when Ford retooled his entire line and brought out a new model A. Birth of an automobile makes news in Main Street and in Wall Street. Could Turn Interest A new automobile could turn vast purchasing interest to the giant automobile industry and set off a "nationwide boom. The auto industry often in the past, single-handed, has lifted the na tion out ot recession. There is no recession now, but this growth conscious America is worried because business seems to be levelling off at a plateau not far from the record high. A spurt In auto demand would set off a chain reaction in rpy- PL ') Is That So? Unlike most .animals, a plant cannot take to its heels to es cape its enemies. Therefore to survive it too has perfected many ingenious ways to defend itself from destructive animals. Some have developed poisons. The number of such plants which may cause itching skin, distressed innards, crazy hallu cinations, distorted vision, or in crease the business of the under taker is large. Within Canada and the U.S. it - exceeds 500 plants and includes such well known ifritants as poison oak, poison ivy; some beautiful flow ering plants as rhododendron, larkspur, foxglove, lily-of-the-valley; and such wholesome vegetables as tomato, potato, as paragus and .carrot. Poisonous Leaves With some, like the rhododen dron, mostly, the leaves are poisonous; with others like the narcissus, the poison is largley confined to the bulb and when eaten for onions can be per manently disastrous; with the oleander every part is highly poisonous. Fortunately most poisonous flowers are not dangerous for the simple reason that they are not eaten. But plants which are mistaken for wholesome varie ties of food can take a high toll. Such a one and perhaps the worst offender is the poison ous toadstool. As for the tomato and po tato, related to the deadly night shade, the foliage contains traces of poison which if con centrated could be lethal but little or none is ever found in their edible parts. Yet, should the tubers of the potato grow in sunlight and turn green, -they may be quite poisonous.

Ua Streets See How Received riad industries, in fact, affect all of them, it is pointed out. Back in 1955, the record year for the automobile industry, when it turned out 9,169,276 vehicles valued at $14,473,844,- 000, the industry used 23 per cent of the nation's steel output; 56 per cent of the malleable iron; 10 per cent of the copper; 40 per cent of the lead; 29 per cent of the zinc; 21 per cent of the nickel; 71 per cent of the per manent mold casting aluminum; 65 per cent of the rubber; 71.5 per cent of the upholstery leath er, and 4 per cent of the cotton. Railroad Can And this not to mention the vast number of railroad cars, ships, and trucks to carry the cars to their destinations. And also the income for the dealers, the service people and thousands of others in allied lines. This ' Edsel is in the medium price brackets and it's Ford'i ammunition in a new war that is anticipated in the automobile industry. General Motors in its 50th an niversary year is building up ammunition of its own. Chrysler isn't going to stay out of the fight. Even the two little fellows of the industry, Studebaker Packard and American Motors, are shooting for their share of the business. Main Street and Wall Street are waiting to see how the pub lic receives the new automobile models notably the Edsel. By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Some poisonous plants have served man well. Primitive hunters in South America and South Africa still use arrows whose points have been tipped in poisons to help them kill their game. More important, many plant poisons are incor porated into man's drugs today to name a few: atropine, digi talis, ipecac, morphine, quinine and strychnine. Given in con trolled doses they can - save lives. '.
