CLEANUP DRIVE UNDERWAY

The cleanup campaign which has
been started in the city comes at ripe
moment. Immediately after the election
Mayor W. W. Demeritt and other commits
sioners began a drive which gained great
deal in cleaning up vacant lots in the
city.
a week ago Willard B. Gibson. city
sanitary engineer, and other city forces
instituted a renewed campaign to get the
vacant lots cleared off. All last week local
residents could be seen at work on their
vacant lots getting the high weeds off. A
great deal has been accomplished.
Dead grass and weeds. old tree limbs,
old and rotting lumber all have begun to
be piled up and much moved away. 1t is

ROPE LOOPS FALLING MAN

From Chicago comes something of an
amazing story, telling of workman who
fell off scaffold at the sixteenth floor
of building and was saved from death
by the quick action of a fellow-worker,
who quickly seized rope, twirled it in
wide circle and jerked, creating loop,
which closed around the body of the fall
ing man.
While the hoop did not hold, it helped
break his fall and effected what police
pronounced a one-chance-in-a-millio res
cue.
This is one case in which man was
literally snatched from death. When the
worker swung out on the rope, attempting
to lower himself to a fourteenth floor
window, he lost glove and slipped. His
body began to drop and at that instant,
his chance to live was probably less than
one in million.

EVERYBODY CAN GUESS

The people opposed to CONSUMPTION
or universal service in time Of peace evf-
IDENTIFY believe that there will be no more
wars or that, if one comes, the nation
will have year or two in which to train
fighting men.
They overlook, we think, the fact that
the United States was helpless, from a
military standpoint, in 1910 when the
Germans were threatening to invade the
British Isles. Had the Nazis taken the
little islands they could have sent couple
armored divisions to this country and oc-
cupied the land of the free which would
have been the grave of the brave.
The next war, according to other
thinkers, will start with bang, The bang
being an atomic attack. delivered sud
denly and without warning. Thereafter it
will be up to the manpower left and if it
isn't trained, you can imagine what will
happen.
