'Philatelic Poisons7 Topic
For Southern Oregon Club
The program for the South'
ern Oregon Stamp club at the
meeting on June 5 was pre
sented by Mrs. Eric de Place,
who spoke on philatelic poi
sons. Quoting from an article
written by Melvin Jean An
drews, a member of the Am
erican Topical association,
which appeared in a maga
zine called The Stamp Digest,
she said the poisons spoken of
appear on various stamps of
the world.
. The poison shown on more
stamps than any other is to
bacco, containing nicotine. Be
sides Bulgaria, many South
American countries show to
bacco on stamps, as does
Cuba.
Belladona, or deadly night
shade, is shown on'the Bui
garian medical plants issue of
1953-54; as is stramonium or
Jimson weed. Digitalis, from
the plant foxglove? used fit
heart cases, is found on post
age stamps of Belgium, Swit
zerland, and Bulgaria. Helle-
Daisy Sale

Officials of the city of Med
ford have granted permission
to the Blue Star Mothers of
America to sell daisies on the
streets of Medford, Friday and
Saturday, June 13 and 14.
. This is an annual event and
the only means the mothers
have to finance their efforts in
behalf of the wheelchair mem
bers of the Camp White dom
iciliary. "In the past, the citizros of
Medford have been generous
in their donations to this
worthy cause, and we hope
you will continue to help us
help the handicapped at Camp
White," the committee in
charge stated.
Three to Take
Island Vacation
Miss Martha Boshears, 404
South Grape street, her neice,
Miss Ruth Ann Marshall, and
nephew, Don Marshall, chil
dren of Mr. and Mrs. James
S. Blaylock, 412 South Grape
street, will 'leave Thursday
for a two weeks vacation in
Hawaii.
Miss Marshall was gradu
ated from Medford HigS
school last week. Mr. Marsh
all will be a seqipr this fall
at the school.
The trio will fly from Med
ford to San Francisco where
they will leave for Honolulu.
On the return trip they plan
to visit in San Francisco be
fore returning to their homes.
While on the island they
plan to visit Miss Boshears'
nephew and his wife, Navy

Harbor.

sociated with mystery and
evil throughout the ages is
shown on a stamp from Neth-
erland. It is better known to
day as the Christmas Rose
Opium, mentioned in the
Papyrus Ebers, one of the
earliest records of medicine,
was known by the Egyptians
about 1550 B.C. It is believed
that it was introduced by
Arabs into both India and
China. According to the ar
ticle, opium smoking does not
appear to have been practiced
in China until the latter part
of the 17th century, but with
in 100 years it spread like the
tentacles of an octopus over
the entire empire. The opium
poppy is found on several
stamps including Belgium,
Hungary and the United
States.
Other poisons mentioned
were "arnica (leopard's bane)
on a Belgium stamp; alpine
clematis, on Switzerland; Eu
phorbia poggei of the Spurge
family) on stamps of the Bel
gian Congo and Belgian East
Africa; the Aristolochia con-
golana (trumpet flower), also
on the Congo and East Afri
can series.
Animal secreting certain
poisons found on stamps in
clude the salamander; shown
on stamps of Jugoslavia and
Trieste, Zone B; and the platy
pus, shown on an Australian
stamp.
Stamp designers have not
forgotten antidotes for poi
sons, and stamps from Austria
list three, cyclamen, gentian
and sweet violet. Cylamen is
also shown on a stamp of San
Marino.
It was decided the club will
not hold a meeting in July; it
will meet again on August 7,
when children of the members
will be special guests of the
club.
Guests at the meeting were
Mrs. Elmer Blanck and son,
Bob, of Ashland. Refresh
ments were served by Mrs.
Mamie Bloomfield and Mr.
and Mrs. Prentice Petty.

and its synagogues like the

the famed Alcazar, once a
Roman palace. We visited a
factory where the world fa

Toledo jewelry is produced by
skilled craftsmen.
"The dinner hour does not
begin in Spain until 9 p.m., so
we drove on to Cordoba. It
was a very famous town from
the 8th to the 11th centuries.
Its beautiful mosque is said
to be the greatest masterpiece
of Arabian architecture. Al
though Spain is terribly pov
erty stricken, the pride and
spirit of these people are un
crushed. The most humble
village is sparklingly white
washed. You see none of the
depressing little villages prev
alent in France.
Trees In Bloom .
"As we neared Sevilla, we
noticed the air was perfumed
by the aroma of orange trees,
on both sides of the road. '
"When we reached the bor
der, it seemed strange to see
several (English) Bobbies offi
ciating, in contrast to the
Spanish attendants. Gibraltar
reflects its British nature in
the names of her streets and
public places. It is a fair port,
and one can purchase any
thing from oriental slippers
to French perfumes at very
low prices. Gibraltar being
the ideal stepping' stone to
North Africa, we boarded a
ferry to Tangier, which took
2V2 hours.
"Half of the population in
the city offered to show us
the intrigues of the Kasbah
before we even had a chance
to check into the hotel. Tan
gier is picturesque, situated on
seven hills surrounded by an
azure sea. It has a very large
European population and
quite an extensive American
colony, boasting a fine school
and beautiful club. We se
cured a guide and toured the
city. We visited the Sultan's
palace, sipped mint tea, en
joyed the warm sunshine tnd
the - wide beach, which was
filled with peddlers selling
their wares. Our 10-day stay
in Tangier was during Rama
dan, the most significant re
ligious observance of the year
for the Mohammedans.
Roads Better
"As we drove on south
from Tangier, we noticed how
superior the Moroccan roads
were in comparison to the
Spanish roads.
"Our first stop was Rabat,
the capital of Morocco. We
saw the sultan, in his coach,
driving to the royal mosque to
pray, ine coach was given
him by Victoria of England.
We had the pleasure of being
entertained by Sir Charles
Duke, ambassador to Morocco
from Great Britain. We
watched him play in a polo
match.
"Our next stop was Casa
blanca, and then on to Marra
kech, the capital of the south.
Parts of the Alfred Hitchcock
film, "The Man Who Knew
Too Much" were filmed there.
We made arrangements to
stay at the same hotel and
dine at the same Moorish res
taurant that were featured in
the film. We stayed at the La
Mamounia, said to be the most
beautiful hotel in Morocco. It
is situated in the center of a
large orange grove. Its gar
dens were a paradise of blos
soming orange trees, palm
trees, geraniums, bougain
vilela, snapdragons and a host
of other plants. Marrakech
has a bewitching charm. It
was built in the middle of the
11th century.
"We started north again
and drove through Fez, the
most ancient city in the em
pire. Fez is a city of art, with
its palaces, fountains and gar
dens. Meknes is just a short
distance from Fez. It is en-

walls, the remains of which
are an imposing sight. Stand
ing by the ornate gate "Bab
el Mansour," one can see a va
riety of picturesque charac
ters clad in colorful native
costumes. Leaving Meknes,
we returned to Tangier for a
brief stay and then on to Se
villa again. It is beyond all
description. The gaiety and
color of its fiestas, the charm
of its songs and dances and
aristocratic character of its
citizens all contribute to make
it a paradise for the traveller;
"We hated to leave Sevilla
with its lovely climate and
charming people, but school
was calling. We drove through
Granada with its great variety
of views, and saw the Alham
bra, famous throughout the
world for its many architec
tural treasures, as the su
preme wonder of Granada.
"Our next stop was Valen
cia, situated in the heart of
orange groves, rice fields and
flower plantations. The high
way along the Costa Brava
and the Spanish Riviera is
rich in scenic splendor. The
almost-too blue of the Medi
terranean never fails to de
light my eyes. As we crossed
the border back into France
we carried with us many
memories and mementoes of
six glorious weeks, over 4,000
miles of travel in several fas
cinating countries. A spring
vacation that will be difficult
to surpass.
"Our next adventure will
be the world's fair in Brussels,
w h i e h we . are anxiously j
awaiting. Everything one
reads has something to say
about the fair."
