Smokestack Worker Is
Happiest When Highest

AUBURN, IND.-Despite the fact
that he has had a few close calls,
Frank Kuhlman of Auburn would
rather work on 170-foot smoke
stack Cor even higher if possible)
than one on the ground.
Kuhlman has been building stacks
from Connecticut to Florida and
west to Alberta, Canada, for the
past "a years. He has worked on
more than 500 in all.
But he has never forgotten the
time when he was working on 225-
foot stack and was accidentally
bumped by a tender (helper or top
mani. Over he went; but the tend
er caught him by the suspenders
and pulled him back.
When working on stacks no one is
permitted to make any sudden
noises or EXPLANATIONS, Huffman
said. Every move is timed and one
fast move-or false move-might
mean death to someone.
The tallest stack on which Kuhl-
man has worked was the 350-foot
stack at Rochester, N. Y. His next
job will be on a 140-foot stack at
Baltimore.
