CLINGS TO SPAR BY

per asked me if I thought we could
make it, and-God forgive mel
told him yes it was smoothing
down so.
"Just as we cleared the break
water. two great waves came along
hitting us in the bow. We sheered
of to the north, but after those
breakers, we couldn't steer any
more"
THE ship was listing to the star
board when the sea seemed to break
all over Us, filling the life boat on
that side with water.
THE pilot house and superstruc-
ture all went overheard, and we
were sinking further down. No one
could launch the life boat because
it was so heavy with sea.
Then We turned over, the ship
coming up keel first.
Christ was the first to get
knocked off. He must have known
he couldn't last any longer. I re-
member him yelling that he didnt
want to die, and he was gone.
"After that I don't remember
much. 7, too, was buffeted, and
tried swimming until I bumped into
the piece of hulk they found me on
1t was sort of like an uneven bar
rel, and every time wave would
strike me I would go under.
It do not think any other men
are drifting out to sea on wreckage.
I hollered until I thought my lungs
would burst open, and got no an
SWer."

hour battle against a heavy sea,
Jorgen NJ. Greve, believed the only
survivor of the sunken schooner
Brooklyn, told from a hospital cot
today how he saved his life by
clinging to pieces of wreckage after
the vessel went down.
Given up as dead by all except his
wife, Greve, first mate of the vessel
that foundered last Saturday, was
pickle up five miles off the Eureka
coast late Tuesday. Half-drowned
and dazed, he was clinging to a
fragment of wreckage that inter
vened between him and the fate Of
his seventeen comrades.
Greves body was ripped and bat
tered from his long contact with
the gale-swept waters. His nails
literally were torn from his fingers
by long and frantic clutching az the
wreckage.

when the boat arrived" he said. Il

of times. 1t was hardest Sunday

shore and still had no strength to

farther out, and I gave myself up

Page One, Column One

Here is theme for the mOralZers: When Alex
Rossi, pioneer saloon keeper of Tucson, died, the
news OF his passing given the most favored posi-
tlOn IN the paper page one, column 1t is the posi-
ton we should have given it, and we are convinced
that it accorded with the pubics sense of fitness
that it is the publics belief that he had in life earned
it,
Reared in the Italian tradition, Alex Rossi never
at any time in his life handled container Of cheering
stlmuant with consciousness that it SOed his hands
or that he owed anyone excuse or an apology But
that fact negative and we cite it only to account
for seeming paradox It was his weaving of charity
and Samaritanism into the pattern of his daily life
throughout the forty years Of his dwelling here that
earned him, "a saloon man" the confidence and re-
spect of his fellows and caused him to be rated as
"good citizen"
Rossi, it has been said, "gave away fortune"
He suffered himself to be deprived of another by
trusted friends but to the end his life was an ex-
emp1flcatlon Of that degree in the lodge of human
brotherhood. Had ROssi bequeathed to charity in
lump sum at his death, the money with which during
his life he had succored distress, it would have been
a sum to humble with awe and respect, but Rossi
kept his accounts with his conscience from dav to
day.
On one Of his return trips to his native Italy the
ship On which he was travelling was caught in ter
1Ole storm When it seemed that the vessel would be
overwhelmed his fellow passengers each according to
ms bent, began making preparations for eternity
Some prayed, some sang hymns But Rossi ordered
OOtte OF his favorte red wine and slipped it. It was
not an act OF indifference of scorn of peril He
simply reconced himself to the fact that his account
with life was about to be cast up by the Gver of Life
and, being unafraid of the calculation he was minded
to make the going pleasant. (Tucson Citizen)

More Farmers Serued

In one important field Of progress there has been
nc no slowing down this year in spite of generally I'm
fav0rable conditions During the first six months of
l93O electricity was made available for the first time
TO o0oo2 farms, as compared with about $4,000 dur
Ing the same period last year.
Recently Geo. W. Kable, in an address before a
66ody OF agricultural engineers, pointed out that the
1st systematic efforts to adapt electricity to the
needs OF the farmer were begun only seven years
up to June 30 Of this year electric service has been
tended to serve 627, ,105 farms
organized research in farm identification start
ed WITH the Red Wing Mimi, project in 1928 Shortly
thereaIter beginning was made in Alabama under
the JOINT auspices Of the state experiment station and
the Alabama Power Company, with the cooperation of
farm organizations and individual farmers Now more
than 5000 farms of the state are served but owing to
the tenancy system whereby the number of families
averages about three to farm, nearly $4,000 farm
families are actually served
A Great progress is being made in other states, for
