It used to be news when a
man bit a dog. But in 1916 a
dog shot a woman.
And that's not all. A kanga-
roo shot a man. So did a rab-
bit. A deer took a gun away
from a hunter. A fish chased a
fisherman off the road by
sneezing in his face. A bee, goose,
a grasshopper, a mouse and turtle
got into the act, each in its own
quaint way. And an ice cube knocked
a woman cold.
All this, and more, was turned
up by National Safety council In
it's annual roundup of odd accidents.
And if you haven't already begun
to suspect that things were little
wacky in the year just past, read
on!
The Ice COmeth.
Miss Jeanette Esslinger was
standing on the sidewalk in St. Louis
when anEice cube fell out OF hotel
window. 1t hit her squarely on the
head and knocked her colder than
the ice cube. At the hospital they
treated her with-an ice pack!

that they are smarter than foresters
when it comes to judging trees.

ala the marines, in the nick Of
time. Halstead not only lost his gun
he also lost two bucks!
Same Old Story.
Put a mouse and a woman in the
same car and something has to
give. So when Mrs. Orson Rheingold
of Albany, N. Y, found she was
sharing her car with a travelling
field mouse. she just did what came
naturally. The car smacked into a
pole and the field mouse returned
to, the field.
Gustav Riebow of Milwaukee is a
kindly man. So when he and his
wife found a turtle in their back
yard, they put it in box on the
front seat of their car and started
to take it to nice honey place in
the country. The turtle, confused or
just plain ungrateful. slipped out Of
the box, crawled up Riebow's leg
and bit him good and hard. Riebow
turned turtle and so did the car

Chips Pay Off.
After that, anything must seem
dull. But the case of Pete Bird
of Shelbyville, KY, may be worth
recording. When mere boy, BIZ ]
was chopping log on a farm WHEN
chip flew up and struck him in
the eye, bringing a cataract and
blindness. In 1946-just AZ years
later Bird again was chopping
wood. Again chip flew up and hit
him in the eye, tearing the cataract
loose and restoring sight.
Then there was the case of the
sultry pocketbook. 1t belonged to

salmon. James Mantakes of La
Grande, Ore, caught the salmon,
tossed it in the rear of his car and
started for home to show the
folks. AS the car chugged along,
desert dust blew into the salmon's
gills, and it sneezed. Yes, it did.
This startled Mantakes. He
glanced back, saw nothing but a
fish and shrugged off the sound. An
other sneeze Mantakes Whirled
around, this time to see an angry
salmon on the back of the seat,
glaring balefully at him with
bloodshot eyes. AS if that weren't
enough, a grasshopper chose that
moment to come flying in through
the window. The salmon abandoned
Mantakes, lunged at the grasshop-
per, missed and fell back in the
lap of the now thoroughly disorgan-
lied driver.
Mantakes gave himself over en-.
tirely to subduing the salmon. The
car went crashing off the road. The
salmon sneezed spitefully once or
twice more-and succumbed.
Victims of All Ages.
Youngest victim of an odd acci-
dent in 1916 undoubtedly was baby
girl who was shot before she was
born. Her mother, Mrs. Arthur
Laughton. was shot in a hunting
accident at Winthrop, Me-, and the
baby was born prematurely, bull
let wound in her left thigh.
When most people were desper-
ately trying to find auto tires, STAN
ley Yanick of Chicago just stood
still on the sidewalk and one came
rolling right up to him. Unfor-
tunately. it had wheel attached,
and it fattened him. The tire was
the wrong size anyway.
When Mrs. Ralph Gilmore of Phil
adelphia heard a certain program
Arizona sun., 1946-12-13

More understandable was the
strange case of the kangaroo that
shot the man. This happened in Aus
tralia when Arthur Crosbie shot
kangaroo through the hind legs and
it fell on its back. Crosbie reloaded
the rifle and put the butt on the
kangaroo's neck to pin it down. The
kangaroo reached up, twineda a fore
paw around the trigger and shot
Crosbie through the arm.
Prompted by the same motive of
self preservation, a rabbit that lived
just outside Louisville, KY, resent
ed the activities of William Humph-
rey, a 16-year-old hunter. He stuck
out a paw from Humphreys game
bag, pulled the trigger of Humph-
rey's gun and shot him through
the foot. Humphrey now carries a
rabbits foot for luck when he goes
hunting. Guess what rabbit!
Edward M. Brown of Beverly
Hills, Calf, saw active service in
both the European and Asiatic the
aters without a scratch. He de-
cided to relax by going hunting. A
companion shot a goose. 1t plum
meted down, struck Brown smack
in the chest, knocked him fiat,
and inflicted injuries that kept him
in the hospital As days.
Many bee has caused a traffic
accident, but a super-busy one in
Hammond, Ind, cracked up three
autos by merely stinging the driver
of one of the cars. The driver,
Walter Sohl, drove into another car,
which then crashed into a third ma
chine.

THE PAY-OFF IN CIVIL SERVICE

THE Unions have warned those who flocked tC
the over-publicized safety" Of civil service
jobs in Army and Navy warehouses and other
establishments that they were being fooled. Now
that the date for the payoff has arrived, and the
government establishments are reducing then
staffs the dsillusioned workers can see the truth
Washington's congressman say they are receiving
many reports of disturbing nature.
Civil service employees, without any Union
protection whatever, are being fired right and
left. Many who are nearing their retirement
time, are being shown the gate The pretty prom
ises that were made when the workers accepted
the jobs, which almost without exception pay less
than Union jobs, are turning sour.
Well, that's government-in-business Instead
of being the ideal employer, and setting the good
example for private business, government usually
is the dictatorlal, unreasonlng unfair employer
AS government takes over business that should
remain in private hands the working people get
the worst Of the deal. Oh, the promises and the
civil service propaganda were lovely-but the pay
off is something else.
A great many toilers are learning, the hard
way that those who work for private employers
under Union contracts, are far far ahead of their
civil service brethren who draw government

COMMIES ON A SPOT

RUSSIA wants to borrow from the United States
a little matter Of Sc billion to put her people
back on their feet after long, hard war, in which
she did herself proud and had no small part in
Ipersuadng Hitler to give up and disappear.
1t is difficult, however, to get ourselves IN a
giving frame of mind while Stain insists in main
tanning standing army of 100000 men, with
about 5000 agents scattered all over the world
to report on what's what in other countries. While
we Of course are willing and expect to help feed
the distressed people of Russia and other stricken
countries, find it extremely difficult to con-
vince ourselves that we should provide funds to
maintain military regime which might be used
to destroy American boys and even American
cities.
And that brings up the subject of Commun-
lists in this country, some of whom are willing to
admit their connection with the Russian govern
ment. Even some Congressman are alarmed about
the large number of Commes employed by the
federal government in the departments in Wash
ngton some of them in high places where they
could give aid and comfort and even vital informal
tion to an enemy
These Communistas and most of them are
known, would be in tough spot in the event OF
war with Russia They would promptly be gather
ed up and concentrated inside heavy wire fence,
but by that time the damage would probably have
been done.
These known Commes, in order to accept en-
poyment by our government, were, like all other
federal employees, required to take the oath of
allegiance. 1t might be $64 question to ask: Did
they take it with their tongue in the cheek with
reservations in view of their sympathies with
Moscow?
