Stamp 18 for Shoes Must Last Through October 37 WASHINGTON, June 12 (P) The office of price administra tion (OPA) announced today that the new shoe ration stamp which becomes valid next Wednesday must last civilians through Octo ber 31. The stamp Is No. 18 In the sugar-coffee book. Stamp 17, first of the shoe ration stamps, expires Tuesday night. The new stamp will have to last for four and. one-half months, which is 11 days longer than stamp 17. However, OPA said that the dates were in line with the policy of providing an Deadly Hemlock Cultivated As Ornamental Plant Here Poison hemlock, a deadly poi son when taken internally, has been reported to be growing in town and in outlying districts by the county agent's office. The ferny, dark green weed is some times grown for ornament around houses, Bob McCam bridge, assistant county agent, said. Poison hemlock, also known as poison parsley, poison stink weed, wode whistle, snake weed, or deadly hemlock, has been re ported in this area for several years. Two years ago a calf died from eating some of the weed in a suburban area. At this time, the weed is about four feet high. It has alternating fern-like leaves, and white flow ers. Because of its ornamental appearance, poison hemlock is quite often cultivated around houses and is frequently spread when cuttings are passed for cul tivation. The weed should be cut down as soon as it is discovered be cause children frequently play with the weed and make whist les or bean shooters from its hollow stem.

As In the case of stomp IT, stamp 18 will be transferable within a family so that, for in stance, a parent who does not need his stamp may use it for child. The announcement disposed of unofficial reports that OPA would encourage the use of the No. 18 stamp for the purchase of white summer shoes. While OPA has no objection to anyone buying any kind of shoes he pre fers, it made it plain it is not providing any extra stamps for such a purpose. Conium Maculatum, its botan ical name, can be controlled by keeping down the growth and by keeping the seedlings, which appear each year, cut out. In about two years the condition should be remedied. Although it has been reported around homes in Klamath Falls, the weed usually grows at the borders of fields, meadows, road sides, and in waste places.. It usually grows in rich, gravelly, or loamy soil. McCambridge stressed that the weed is dangerous, a deadly poison, and should be recognized and destroyed immediately.

Penney company, as chairman of the retail trade com mittee of the chamber of com merce. Rudy Jacobs was selected vice chairman of the same committee. - and This Is It!
