Lindbergh Assailed
BY Harold Knutson

1t has been a long time since a
radio talk has evoked so much
comment, favorable and unfavor-
able, as did Colonel Lindbergh's
observations on the international
situation. Some with whom I have
spoken resent the Colonels pre-
sumption in speaking on foreign
affairs. They seem to think he is
too young and inexperienced, but
it is mainly New Dealers who hold
that view. I thought he delivered
a most timely talk that was sound
and to the point; moreover it was
courageous. Colonel Lindbergh Is
not a boy by any means. He is 38
years of age, and it must not be
overlooked that he grew to man.
hood under the guidance of an un-
usually intelligent father who re-
presented the Sixth District in Con-
gress with distinction and fidelity
for ten years. The Colonel Is five

New Street Lighting
Arrangement

There has been Encouragement
of street lights in certain sections
of our town, at the suggestion of the
Electric Company, we are told.
We do not know what the result
has been as a whole, but as far as
Cherry street is concerned it was
never as poorly lighted at night as it
is now, since the change has been
made.
1t is so dark between the widely
spaced lights on this particular
street, that you can hardly recog-
nize people when you meet them at
night.
Reminds one of the old days, when
coal oil lamps lined our Streets
you could see the lights, but not the
people.
The originator of this improved"
lighting scheme will get no gold
medals from the residents of Rising
Sun.

Fire Destroys Barn

Fire that originated from feed
grinding machine, totally destroyed
the barn on what is known as the
Cassaus Childs farm, near Row
landsville on Monday evening.
The blaze was discovered in the
hay NOW about 4:3O o'clock and
was thought to have been smothered
out with buckets of water, but broke
out again, and was beyond control
by the time fire equipment from
Rising Sun had been summoned and
reached the scene.
The feed grinding mill of White
Brothers had just been set up out
side the barn and was in operation,
when a spark was noticed in the
hay NOW. A desperate fight was
made to prevent it's spread, but
without avail. The barn, together
with a quantity of hay, straw, oats
and wheat, was soon a seething
mass of flames, and was totally de-
stroyed.
Some pigs in nearby pen were re-
leased in time to save them, and
there was no other livestock in the
building or barnyard.
The property had recently been
sold by the George A. Logan estate to
Mr.. Gustave Slack, of Connecticut,
who had just taken possession and
was making extensive repairs. 1t
had been farmed for some time past
by Samuel E. McCauley, who lost
the crops stored in the barn.
