The answer is evidently stricter
medical supervision of the jockeys,
coupled with a move by racing as
sociations 10 provide employment,
perhaps in the mutuel depart
mentS. for riders who are barred
from riding because further reduc-
ing might endanger their health.
The widespread adoption OF
jockey insurance during the past
year is likely to bring much more
thorough examination of tn c
riders than has been customary.
Insurance companies and racing
associations which must pay bene-

action because of their own selfish

he was sent 10 right field and
now 1t would take an armored
division TO get him out of there.
Getting a late start, he hes de-
clared himself into the home run
race and is now hot on the heels
of the leaders.
Not only has his hitting been
sensational all season but his
fielding showed great improve
ment. BatterS hitting the ball
against the right field wall have
been surprised TO see Bruce play
it perfectly and hold them to
singles.

Kill the Jockey,

Kill the jockey!
Maddened racing fans have
loosed that shout more than once
when they've seen the favorite
beaten by an apparently bad ride.
But don't be vindictive: the
jockeys are killing themselves.
No wild mob scenes are needed
to bring death TO the riders at the
race tracks. Daily regime followed
by hundreds OF these youngsters
is bringing many of them to I'M
timely ends years before they have
reached their natural life span.
They are killing themselves with
the help Of racing officials and
turfmen who insist on a scale Of
weights which forces jockeys TO
do everything but cut off arms and
legs 10 make the weight.
For every jockey who is killed

Pneumonia Victim

The death OF Jockey Raymond
Hightshoe in Chicago from pneu-
monia and Septicemia has provided
the latest example. This 23-year-
old youngster who had brought
home $238,480 in winners in six
years on the turf had so weakened
himself by a strenuous reducing
program that he had no vitality
left when pneumonia brought him
down.
Hightshoe didn't need to ride for
living. The householder from
Greenwood, Neb., had fat bank
book. He'd saved and he had some
good chunks to save. One of his
biggest financial scores was made
several years ago on the West
Coast when he bet 500 on one OF
his mounts that won at $50 10 ],
for which he collected $l0,S00.

NATIONAL DEFENSE WEEK

Thursday is sign-up-for-defense
day in the target areas the civilian
defense counsels are signing up vol
unteers for various assignments. In
county such as ours, it is import
ant that every one should help meet
our goals in the Foodfor-Defense
Program.
Friday is health and welfare day.
We should realize that only a nation
that is fit can properly defend it.
SELF So it is very important that
we protect our physical well-being
by proper exercise, nutrition, and
medical care.
Saturday is day to designate the
functions for each unit in the civ
ilian defense corps Again this is
more important in the target area.
Sunday, Nov. 16, is freedom day
We are asking the cooperation Of
the churches in reaffirming our
faith in the fundamental freedom,
and to emphasize that a nation
founded upon these essential free
doms must defend them.

Union With Christ, John 15:1-10,
for Sunday, November IS:
Here is a small section of Christ s
profound teaching his last week. 1t
is practical philosophy on making
a success of the Christian life.
v. 1. II am the true vine ,and
my Father is the husbandman. :"
There are many vines but there is
only one true vine'." We may be at
tached to friends and carry out
their ideals, but even then we may
fail. Since Christ did not fail, un-
ion with him will assure us of sue
cess. Back of Christ is God to
whom we are related as his chill
dren through his son, Christ.
v. 2. ''Every branch in me that
beareth not fruit he taketh away;
and every branch that beareth fruit
he purgeth it, that it may bring
forth more fruit" A useless Chris
tian in time dies spiritually; and,
since all dead branches are pruned
away, it follows naturally that a
useless Christian is cast aside. The
very best Christian needs an inward
cltan.ins by which motives, de-
sires, and impulses are purified.
y. 8. Now we are clean through
the werd which l have spoken unto
YOU Gods word is the cnrrying
instrument through which the Holy
Spirit operates to do the office work
of cleansing. One believes Christ
only in the measure that he believes
the Word of God. The world is
ing
v. ''Abide in me and l in you.
As the branch can not bear fruit or
itself, except it abide in the vine;
no more can ye, except ye abide in
me-" A successful Christian life
calls for a constant effort to main
tain right relations with God
through Christ. To keep going is
as important as to get started in
the Christian way Of living. One
needs daily fresh Christian exper-
fence to which he can witness with
telling results.
v. S. II am the vine, We are the
branches; he that abideth in me,
and I in him, the same brlngeth
forth; for without me ye can 10
nothing" The purpose Of a Chris
tian life is to bear fruit; hence, the
more and the better the fruit, the
greater the honor both to our Lord
and to ourselves. We can not al
ford to live trifling lives or to tr1fie
away time, money, talent, influence,
etc.
V.6. eff a man abide not in me,
he is cast forth as branch, and is
withered; and men gather them,
and cast them into the hre, ana
they are burned" If through neg
lect or sin on our part our fellow
ship with Christ is broken, then we
become spiritually dead and fruit
less. such a result is the greatest
disaster that can befali a person.
