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.

average of three pairs per person
per year.
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.
