Leaflets hang out with us

Castaways were ignored. After the war, somebody remembered Anatahan, so leaflets were airdropped on the island, informing its Japanese that the war was over and directing them to surrender. However, the castaways refused to believe that Japan could have surrendered.American authorities did not deem it worth the trouble to send in US forces to root them out, so the castaways were left to their own devices. From time to time, an airplane would be sent to drop leaflets over the island, repeating that the war was over and directing the Japanese to surrender. However, the castaways deemed the leaflets fake news, and so matters remained, for years.In 1950, Kazuku Higa sighted a passing US vessel, raced to the beach, flagged it down and asked to be taken off the island. It was only then that the Americans discovered that the Japanese on Anatahan did not believe that the war was over. That information was relayed to Japan, where the holdouts’ families were contacted. They wrote letters to their relatives, letting them know that it was not fake news: the war had, indeed, ended years earlier.The letters, along with an official message from the Japanese government, finally convinced the castaways. They surrendered in 1951, and were shipped back home, where their story became a sensation, featured in books, movies, and plays. Kazuku Higa was nicknamed “The Queen Bee of Anatahan Island” by the Japanese press. She found temporary fame as a tropical temptress, selling her story to newspapers and recounting it to packed theaters. However, her fifteen minutes eventually ended, and public interest waned. She fell into prostitution and abject poverty, and died at age 51 while working as a garbage collector.

Difficult to avoid seeing staghorn sumac. It is a frequent inhabitant of stretches along the roadside where the soil is dry. Because it spreads to form massive colonies, you usually do not see a single plant standing alone. This gives us another contrast with poison sumac, a solitary specimen of which you may very well find growing in a swamp. But there are also a few identification features that you should know to help you tell the two plants apart (at least at certain times of the year). The berries (drupes) provide the most obvious clue. Poison sumac sports groups of separate berries (not fused together) that droop down from small stems. The shape of the berries is flattish. They mature to an off-white color in the fall. But the berries of staghorn sumac are red. They are packed tightly together in soft, cone-shaped tufts that grow upright. But the plants will have leaves for more months of the year than they will have berries, and they will have twigs (the youngest branches) year-round. So learning the differences between their leaves and twigs is even more helpful. Both poison sumac and staghorn sumac have compound leaves, made up of individual leaflets. Happily, their leaves differ in a few ways, so you should have no trouble telling them apart. Even in winter (when there are no leaves), you can tell the two apart by inspecting their twigs: The leaflets of poison sumac have smooth margins; those of staghorn sumac are toothed.A staghorn sumac leaf will have at least 9 leaflets on it (up to 31). A poison sumac leaf will have at most around 13 leaflets (usually fewer).The twigs on poison sumac are smooth; those on staghorn sumac are covered in tiny hairs.
