TRUCK TRAPPED
BETWEEN GATES
AT CROSSING
Safety Gates Shut Down At
Hayward's Crossing Catch
ing Truck Load OF Piling

An accident occurred on Tuesday
last at what is known as "Hayward's
Crossing" on the N. Y. P. and N.
railroad, about half mile north OF
this city, which might have caused
a life, but fortunately no such fatal
ity ensued.
A truck loaded with long piling
was halted at the crossing by the
automatic gates, these being down
at the time. When the train had
passed, the truck proceeded, but it
was Immediately caught between the
gates by a train rushing by on the
other track.
The driver, had he known, could
have driven into the gates on the
other side of the track and they would
have yielded without much resistance
to his machine and he could have
passed on safely. But he considered
flight the better part of valor, and he
leaped from his truck before the
crash came. The machine was wreck
ed and the load scattered and broken.
Not much damage was done to the
locomotive and no lives lost.
The truck was owned by Mr.. Ed
ward T. Taylor, of near this city, and
was driven by Mr.. Taylor himself.
The accident occurred about 1 o'clock
P. n.

Well, Sir, what was said in this
column last week about the car park
ing problem brought me letter from
somebody who had read the wonder
full ideas I promulgated as to pos
sible solutions of the puzzling prob
lems. I wish 1 could publish that
letter in its entirety, right in this
space; but can't do it. The writer
didn't sign any name, and these
anonymous contributions are the bane
Of a newspaperman's life.
Why, that letter would make bet
ter reading than anything I've at
tempted for many a moon. It's ad-
dressed to "Chirps", but "Chirps"
takes off his hat to this would-be
contributor. And if he (or she) will
Just send in the correct name of the
author, I'll try to produce it just as it
was written, and I know the public
will cry for more-IH soon find my
self out of job.
Now, this writer said-hold on,
can't repeat any of it. I've just said
the communication was anonymous,
and it will have to stay that way.
But I'll bet a dollar to mill that it
contains some curiosities of compost
ton that would interest the most
casual reader. But I'll have to fore
go the pleasure.
You know, there are two individuals
who meet up with many phases of hu-
man oddities druggist and the

"Chirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, l wish somebody would
tell me what's going on in the little
state of Delaware. I was told 1t IS
actually fact that one has to grow
wings now before one can travel on
the highways of that sanity section
of American territory. l am rella-
ably informed that the haze one
meets with now on the Dupont road,
is star dust, and the piece of concrete
known by the name of that great
Delawarean has been transformed in
to the Milky Way.
The report is prevalent that before
one can proceed to cross the Della
ware line, one has to dismount, say
q little prayer, and watch for the
signs when this has to be repeated. If
a man thirsts, it's Adams ale he must
imbibe; and if he hungers, he must
wait to be fed as were the Chill
dren of Israel, by mamma dropped
from benevolent clouds. Ii his I'M
godly motor vehicle runs out OF
Juice and he pulls up to gas pump
he'll find the cards stacked against
him-well, 1 don't mean that exact
Nv to describe the situations in Del
aware now on the Sabbath Day; per-
haps it would be better to say that
st. Peter keeps the keys and there's
NO Moses to tap that iron casing so
that the fluid should run out.
They want me to believe that the
oar radio is now considered as work
of the Devil; that it smacks OF the
oldtime witchery; and if one is caught
listening to its mysterious communl-
cations on a Sunday and in Della
ware, one is threatened with the
ducking-stool, the whipping post, or
confinement in the old-time pillory.
don't know whether it's true or
not, but people who attend church
must sit as of old--women to one side;
men on the other; and if country
swain should take peep at his sweet
heart across the aisle, he must fast
for ten days and nights and look
only upon hags and hogs. I am told
that if a minister of the gospel uses
a radio broadcast, he is an accom-
plice of the Devil himself; an en-
sourager of worldly pursuits, and
q disgrace to the cloth.
People, when you cross now, on
Sundays, into Delaware, you must
remember you are entering into the
Holy of Holes; you must take the
shoes from off your feet, because
you stand on holy ground. You must
tune your voices to the melody OF
"Old Hundred" instead of the every
Little Movement Has A Meaning All
It's own" You must sing Coward
Christian Soldiers, instead OF
tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys
Are Marching;" and be careful your
muffler doesn't burn out, because you
will be mistaken for Satan himself
snorting his way through regions
here below, and the ethereal police
will soon have you cooped for many
a twelvemonth and a day. So, be
ware of the Blue Hens Chickens
when they herald the dawn of the
Seventh Day or the Sabbath. Selah

HUNTER BREAKS
 FOUR LAWS IN ONE
 SHOT AT DEER
Three WrangeII Fishermen Hailed Into Court for
 End Time Thisyear

A rather expensive piece of veni- son will probably prove to be the leer shot near Wrangell yesterday y Carl Messenger, fisherman aboard the boat ARB-7.
 Messenger was arrested by Fl. R. Sarber and Ray Renshaw, Fish and Wildlife Service men cruising the Wrangell region in plane. According to charges of the two, Messenger shot the deer from a boat, the deer was doe, Messen- ger. had no hunting license and he attempted to mutilate the ami mad so as to destroy evidence of the sex.
 Sarber and Renshaw also picked up three men on the fish boat Slab, of Wrangell, on the charge of illegal fishing in restricted area of Port Beauclerc, at the south end of Kuiu Island.
 It was the second time this year that the crew of the Slab have ,een charged with illegal fishing. Captain Bill Lewis, Elgie Frisbie
 nd Garland Bennett. of the boat, were taken into Wrangell to be arraigned there this afternoon on the charge

HIGH POINT, N. C.-Anne Ross, l7-year-old Brooklyn girl mak- ing her debut in the outdoor championships, was a serious threat to diving queen Marjorie Gestring in the national A.A.U. swimming meet here.
 Marjorie, pretty Los Angeles miss, won both the springboard and the platform diving laurels in the l940 outdoor competition. Miss Ross has been in two indoor meets and won the national one-meter crown in March in Buffalo. Helen Crlenko- vich of San Francisco, who won the indoor three-meter honors, may also perform here.
 Miss Ross, shown above doing a running forward double somer- sault dive in pike position, believes that dancing has helped her div ing. She has divided her spare time between diving and ballet dancing for several years.
 She recently graduated from a Brooklyn high school with hign honors and will enter Bernard Col lege, New York, next fall. Right now she has hopes of becoming a physical education teacher. She has long dark hair.

INFANT AND CHILD
 HEATH POSTERS ON
 DISPLAY THIS WEEK

An infant and child health dis play has been arranged at the Seventh-day Adventist Mission by the Juneau Public Health Center. The posters were made by the eighth grade home nursing class in the Petersburg Public School last spring, and were displayed there in the Public Library for Child Health Day.
 The Territorial Department of Health requested the posters for display in Juneau. The nine girls in the class were taught by the Petersburg Public Health Nurse.
 The purpose of this arrangement is to demonstrate that the key word in the care of infants and children is regularity. Much time and effort was spent in the prepar- ation of the posters. They refer to the following habits: feeding schedule, diet, toilet habits, bath- ing, exercise, sleep, weight and growth. and suitable types of beds for infants.
 Accompanying each poster is a composition containing further in- formation studied on the particu- lar poster. Due to limited space, half of the posters will be shown this week, and half next week.

$50 MORE FOR

1t the loan price and benefits which are giving the American far mefs a return for wheat far above the world price. The House of Rep lesentatives has passed bill to give relief to the cooperating farmer with partial crop failure,
 Jy allowing him to sell up to nor nal yield on his allotted acreage.
 That would affect only a few. And besides, it is not yet a law.
 AS Lo what caused Is percent, of the farmers to refuse cooperation, there are just guesses. Ofrlcials say some farmers, remembering the g and $2.50 wheat of the World War days, undoubtedly figured it would zoom there again. In other cases. it may have been lack of under standing of the, law or just plain rebellioti
 The one complaint most often heard from the minority is that the quotas were not announced ,efore the crops were in last fall. That is true. says the department, but since the acreage allotments were announced and since the quotas are based entirely on those allotments, it doesn't matter.
 stAs
 LOAN RATE INCREASED, TOO
 Another complaint is that the penalty has been increased from IS cents to 49 cents (one-half the .oan price), since crops were plant ed. That's true, too, but here again AAA officials point out that the loan rate was upped from GA to 98 cents a bushel. That means, they say, that the guaranteed price for wheat was showed up 34 cents-:n d year when we were raising bumper crop and building up an available supply of approximately ,325, ,OOO 900 bushels oi wheat-al- most enough to take care of our average annual consumption 0r 7O0.OO0,00O bushels for two full years.
 That the Department of Agri- culture considers the marketing quota system generally huge success is seen in the fact that they already have announced ita will be carried through next year but that in view of the huge surplus, there will be a l2 per- cent general reduction in acreage.
