Farm Labor Shortage
Serious

While not as serious as in counties
where defense plants are drawing
on all available manpower, there is a
definite shortage of farm laborers in
Putnam county.
This consensus of farm leaders
was obtained in a checkup Thursday.
1t was their opinion that the real
"pinch" of the shortage will come
when the heavier work of harvesting
crops arrives later in the summer
and early fall.
Women are doing more of the
heavy tasks while younger members
of the family are taking on more re-
sponsibilities around the farm than
ever before to help avert the labor

Prompt Action Saves
Man From Fire

Quick thinking and prompt action
of Mrs. Mary Bucher probably
saved her father-in-law, William
Metcalfe, of Delphos, from serious
burns when gasoline splashed on the
front of his clothing and caught fire.
Mrs. Bucher seized blanket from
an auto and with Metcalfe on the
ground smothered the flames.
Scorched eyebrows and spoiled cloth
ing were the extent of his injuries.
Mrs. Bucher was assisting Met
calfe to fill a tractor tank with gas
oline when the fluid spilled over
onto a hot manifold, causing the
blaze, and splashing gasoline on the
front of Metcalfe's clothing. The
tractor was badly damaged.
