The time is running short
again with Homecoming just
around the corner. Many
interesting events are being
planned this year with great
Stress on the History of
Bastrop. Exhibits depicting
Bastrop from many years back
will be of great interest to the
visitors during Homecoming.
Tours, Art Shows, Antiques,
Square Dance Exhibition,
Parades, Rodeos, Barbecues,
and Class Reunions, will be
headlining the show. Floats
from nearby towns will be the
great attraction for the Grand
Parade on Saturday. We feel
that this will be one of the
finest parades yet and we want
to urge that everyone go out
and sit under the shade of a
targe trw and watch! Go and
visit with your old classmates
and discover all of the things
that you have always wondered
about.... this is the time to
BY MUCAHT PKKff FTR MANAGE* _
compare grey hair and wrinkles
.... and a time to remember
all of those good foolish things
that happened those many
years ago .... just a wonderful
time to be alive ....
The float is being renovated,
and I do mean renovated! Ray
has it down to the bare boards
and seems that we will be
almost starting from scratch.
You probably won't recognize it
as it goes thru the parade, but
it is the same ole base.
1 understand that the
ADVERTISER will have a
Bicentennial HOMECOMING
EDITION so that you will have
something to keep with your
souvenirs.
Had the pleasure of visiting
with Helen Marie Waugh
Leatherwood on Saturday. She
was in town visiting brother
Alex and relatives. Seems that
she has big plans of renovating
the old home place. Hope that
she will come again before too
long.
SEE YOU AT HOMECOMING!
Swimming classes start the
Monday after Homecoming. Be
sure to get signed up.

Chances of a poisoning within
the home increase with the
advent of every new household
chemical, but there's one
danger which has remained
constant ~ common piants,
trees and shrubs.
While vegetation in its various
forms helps sustain life, many
varieties are potential killers,
warns the Texas Department of
Health Resources. Potential
sources of poison thrive in
backyards and gardens all
across Texas. The little known
sources of these poisons are
common, garden-variety plants.
Most piants are harmless.
Many are poisonous under
certain conditions. A few are
poisonous under nearly all
conditions. More than 700
species of plants in the United
States are known to have
caused death or illness. Each
year, about 12,000 children in
this country chew or swallow
potentially poisonous piants.
Parents need to be especially
watchful of small children,
especially on picnics and
outings, since they come in
contact with many plants.
The poisonous nature of a
plant is caused by the presence
of one or more kinds of
substances. There are some
substances which are them-
selves toxic to animals: an
alkaloid, for example, is the
toxic principle in poison
hemlock. Other substances are
initially harmless but may
decompose to form toxic
products soon after being eaten
- an example is glucoside, a
sugar produced in wild cherry
which changes to form the
highly toxic prussic acid. Some
substances are formed by the
action of micro-organisms on
plants: a fungi on moldy hay
forms decomposition products,
some of which may be toxic.
Still other substances are
absorbed directly from the soil
and stored in harmful quanti-
ties in the tissues of certain
plants: selenium, for example,
may be found in some species of
locoweeds, or potassium nitrate
may be present in oats.
To the average person, the
term "poisonous plant" sug-
gests one that poisons upon
contact, causing a mild or
severe dermatitis or skin
irritation. Texas certainly has
its fair share of the plants
known to be capable of causing
such irritations, say State
Department of Health Re-
sources officials. Possibly the
most familiar are the leaves,
bark, and fruit of poison ivy and
poison oak.
But did you know that hairy
leaves and stems of parsnip and
lady slippers, the milky juice of
spurges, and the leaves of the
cultivated primrose are also
causes of dermatitis? Lily bulbs
and stalks, stinging nettles, and
vanilla beans likewise have
toxic qualities, and are capable
of producing severe skin
irritations.
Most poisonous piants are
harmful only when they are
eaten In the case of
nitrate containing plants, the
nitrate content is reduced to
the toxic substance. This
substance then enters the blood
stream and changes the red
pigment of the blood in such a
way that it is incapable of
transporting oxygen to body
tissues. The result is suffoca
tion.
Poisonous mushrooms,
mostly toadstools, cause more
than 100 fatalities in this
country each year. Daffodil
bulbs, larkspur seeds, lily of the
valley flowers, and jasmine
berries are all harmful if eaten.
So, too, are the leaver of the
poinsettia and oleander bush,
and all parts of buttercups,
rhododendrons, and laurels. In

some plan's, only particular
parts are toxic. A classic
example is the rhubarb which
has a perfectly edible stalk, but
contains a deadly poison in the
leaf.
Contact poisoning can be
prevented best by learning to
recognize the plants and
avoiding them. Of course, it is
always prudent to wear
protective clothing such as
leggings and gloves when
venturing into areas where
poisonous plants are known to
flourish.
If you are exposed to a
poisonous plant, immediately
wash the contact area with
laundry soap and water to
remove toxic resins.
Measures can also be taken
to prevent the accidental eating
of plants. Keep children away
from plants and teach them not
to chew plant stems or to put
plant parts, such as berries or
bulbs, in their mouths.
If your child does eat a plant,
and you are uncertain whether
it is poisonous, immediately call
a doctor. He, in turn, will
contact one of the 21 Poison
Control Centers near you for
emergency medical and anti-
dote information. Take your
child to the Emergency Room
of the nearest hospital, and if
possible, bring a piece of the
suspected plant with you so it,
can be analyzed for possible
toxic substances. The Poison
Control Centers are located in
Abilene, Amarillo, Austin,
Beaumont, Corpus Christi,
El Paso. Fort Worth. Calves
ton. Grand Prairie, Harlingen,
Laredo, and Lubbock: also in
Midland, Odessa, Plainview,
San Angelo, San Antonio,
Tyler. Waco, Whaton and
Wichita Falls.
TIP TO MOTORISTS
Some motorists go along as 11
they thought reckless driving
was a demonstration of skill.
The news is scarce this week,
no one has called in but we will
try to tell what we hear by the
grapevine.
The L.B.A.V.FD. Auxiliary
met on Monday night July 14th.
We have had no report, only
that it was a business meeting
and only four members were
there. There was a misunder
standing and some of the ladies
had thought that a meeting was
to be or was he'd at the July 4th
picnic. However we did not get
the word to announce the
meeting for the 14th so we
failed to get it in last weeks
column. Some of the ladies tried
to call the word around, but due
to so many being on vacations
and part of the time phones
were out of order it was
impossible to spread word on
quick notice.
denta: work done and she was
having a check up on her foot
with the doctor who did the
surgery on it several weeks
ago. They then did some
shopping
Mr. Charles and I spent
Thursday browsing around in
the Hill Country area. We love
to ride in the hills, it u so very
pretty this year. The streams
are clear and pretty. We spent
some time in Johnson City.
We see lots of campers going
to the camps and boats going to
the lakes and parks from every
direction. This is truly a pretty
summer up to now for camping.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kring
spent Wednesday and Thurs
day in Austin. He was having
mi
etc. The Wiess family and the
Charles took a trip up Dripping
Springs way on Monday to fish
in a lake where Wiesses own
property. It was lots of fun to
spend the day in such a nice
place to fish.
