POISON IVY Summertime is also poison ivy time for campers, picnickers and families working on home grounds Since these poisonous plants are found in practically all parts of the country, it’s a good safety measure to know them on sight. One thing to watch is the leaves — only one three-parted leaf leads off from each joint on the stem. They never appear in pairs along | the stem. Plants on home grounds should be eradicated, either by chemical or mechanical means. | Read The Citizen Daily Christina Sanchez To Wed In Spain Next Month Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Sanchez are announcing the engagement and approaching marriage of their daughter, Christina, to Jose Mon- tero of Vivero, Spain.

Having had a serious interest in birds from her childhood, it is not at all surprising that Margaret Hanskell Hundley should turn to drawing pictures of them. And be- cause she has spent many years observing behavior, attitudes, form and color, we now have in the Au- dubon Room at East Martello Gal- lery five bird paintings, which bring out distinctive features that few artists have been able to ‘ac- complish. While this is Margaret’s first try at birds, she has done seascapes and scenes of beauty about her home on Deer Island, off the coast of Maine, and has watched famous artists at work; including her sis- ter, Marian Hanskell, who, she says is the artist of the family. Or- nithology and natural history are her main interests and, as in true of most of our gifted artist-na- turalists, she is very modest, . This up - and - coming artist’ is the wife of Lt. Cmdr. D. Wright Hundley, at present attached to VX-1, Naval Air Station, Key West. Despite her housekeeping .respon- sibility, she has spent a great many day-light hours getting ac- quainted with the bird life here since their arrival last September. Margaret had her first training, B. S. and A. B. degree, at Ham- line University, St. Paul, Minn., and later a Master of Arts degree at | the University of Maine She is listed in “‘Who’s Who in the East.” Of the five paintings on exhibit at the Gallery all are of birds ob- served right “here on Key West, with the exception of the barred owl. She has done her best work with the reddish egrets, where she has shown a keen insight and memory for detail, as well as ap- preciation of the mannerisms of the bird, as he leaps about in pur- suit of small fish; lifting his feet higher than would seem necessary. In commenting on the barred owl she said she watched this bird per- form in the Everglades National Park one evening just at sunset. He sat on a limb with his back to her and to satisfy his curiosity he turned his head completely around, in true owl fashion, without moving his body. He must have made quite an impression on her. She said he has brown eyes. This ex- Perience has come to life on can- iy in a very realistic wide-eye owl, She painted the roseate spoonbill and great-white heron in their na- tural surroundings here, as she found them. She has the rare beauty of the black - masked common yellow + throat and the Painted bunting — said to be the most. colorful bird in North Amer- ica. Those who are qualified to judge believe that, im s0 far as being ornithologically correct, Margaret | Hundley’s work measures up to that of other modern painters of birds, such as Menaboni, Sutton Dick and others well known in the Kushmans Off To Wisconsin And Illinois Vacation Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Kush- man and son, Rick Allen, of 321 Peacon Lane, left at noon today by bus for Miami. There the Kushmans will leave tomorrow morning Eastern Airlines for Peshtigo, Wisconsin, where they will spend a month’s vacation with Mr. Kushman’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Kush- “The Kush m ie Kushmans will al: isit | with Mrs. Kushman’s HON set family, Mr. and Mrs. John Car- done and two children, in Chi- cago, Illinois. \ Friday, June 18, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Girl Scout Board Approves Plans For Day Camp During August Preliminary plans for a Girl Scout day camp were made at the meeting board of directors of the Florida Keys Girl Scout Council} at the Wesley House last night.
