annual property loss of approx
mately 80 million dollars.
Removing the cause of fires,
whether it be trash or gasoline
stored too close to a building, is the
best way to prevent fires. Benefits
of an emergency water supply and
of non-smoking rules around farm
buildings will be stressed. Regu-
lar inspection of heating equipment,
lightning rods and electrical equip

The end to be attained in the 1947
observance of National Farm Safe
ty Week, according to Maynard H..
Coe, farm director of National Safe
ty council, is to have every farm
family learn three things:
l. What hazards menace them
at home, at work and on the
highway.
2. What each member of the
family can do to eliminate as
many of these hazards as pos
sible.
3. That carelessness on the
part of any member of the FAM

Days Of Big Log
Rats Recalled
BY Rough Mill

McGREGOR, IOWA. - Memo
ries of the old days when rafting
pine logs down the upper Mississippi
from the vast forests of the north
was a tremendous business have
been revived with establishment of
trough" mill on the river bank
here.
Log RATS again are being used at
the mill, which is being operated
by Pierce Lumber company. The
RATS, small compared with those of
long ago, are handled with motor
boats instead Of sternwheelers as in
the old days. Last of the big RATS
went through the railroad pontoon
bridge here in 1912.
Bottomlands along the Yellow riv-
er, which joins the Mississippi five
miles north of McGregor, are heav-
lily forested. However, transporta-
ton by truck or tractor was i'm
possible because the land is marshy
and there are no roads. The only
way remaining to get the logs out
was to "snake" them into Yellow
river and form them into small
RATS that could be taken down the
Mississippi.
AS in days of yore, old-time river
men and youngsters line the river
banks to watch the log RATS float by.

LOST Colony Presentation

In the summer of 1887, the in
habitants of Manteo on Roanoke
island off North Carolina gave a
series of performances of The Lost
Colony, a play written for them
about the English colonists who
mysteriously disappeared soon
after settling there in 1887. The
play was so successful that it has
since been presented annually, ex-
cept between 1912 and 1915. In the
six summers, 100000 people spent

What Can Be Done?

Sport is the basis for handling all
juvenile delinquency programs-it
is the one program we have left in
which the public at large has COM
plete confidence, complete faith.
And yet. here are all these thieves,
crooks, chiselers and murderers
moving in-the slime of creation
and no one seems to know Just what
to do about it.
Just what should be done about
this present sport situation is quite
problem.
Starting from the president of the
United States on down through vari-
GUS governors and their commits
slons, no one seems to bother much,
for sport is supposed to take care of
itself. Yet those who are handling
sport directly find themselves faced
with situations they are unable to
combat. They know everything ex-
cept the answers. They see the un-
derworld moving in, and they give
out statements which mean moth
ing.
The players so far, have been the
main bulwarks that sport knows.
But, who is going to take care of
the thieves and the crooks?

Observance To Focus Attention
On Tragic Farm Accident Toll
Need for Safety
Measures During
Year EMPHASIZED
WNU Features.

One out of every four farm
families in the United States
will be visited by an acciden
this year - accidents like these
from the files of National Safe
ty council:
l. Farmer A of Kansas was
loading hay with the help of his
two hired hands who stood on
the rack above him. Farmer A
called for his pitchfork. One
Of the men handed it down and
the farmer began forking hay.
But the other helper threw down
another fork, working end first.
The tines struck the farmer in
the back, killing him within a
few minutes.
2. Mrs. B, Montana house.
wife, slipped on a broken step
on the back porch stair that had
been left unrepaired for eight
years. She suffered fractured
hip and spent six months in
bed. Doctor and hospital bills
totaled 5000. Lumber to fix the
step cost Is cents, plus five min
utes Of her husbands time.
3. Farmer C of Wisconsin
tossed the last cornstalk into
the shredder before calling 1t a
day. But his right hand was
caught and dragged between the
rollers. A half-hour later his
hand was released. Doctors
managed to save his fingers.
The cost? Well, the medical
bills were $500. Milk produce
ton dropped 10 per cent, a lit
ter Of pigs was lost and $500 in
wages had to be paid to a hired
hand who carried on while the
farmer was recovering limited

These are only three examples o
the 100000 injuries farmers re
ceived in accidents last year. An,

Governors, senators, congress-
men, leading bankers and lawyers,
industrial leaders, heads of labor
unions, can be indicted and jailed,
and a good part of this is taken for
granted.
1t would be interesting to show
you the long list of those named
above who have been indicted and
convicted. This means those who
have been proved to be crooks,
thieves, chiselers, even murderers,
who held high places in public life.
AS a rule, or general average,
most of these convictions have been
accepted with public yawns.
The public trust in politicians, So
called statesmen, bankers, indus
trial leaders and labor leaders has
never been too strong. Look at the
record. Many of these were expect
ed to go wrong. But it has been diff
ferent in sport.
Sport, amateur and professional,
has been the main public trust. Let
the governors and the senator's and
the industrial leaders, plus labor
head delegates, turn crooked, as so
many have. But sport must be
clean, all the way through.
Crooks Muscle In
The trouble is that sport hasn't
been as clean as it should be. Too
many smart and crooked hangers
on have been chiseling in through
the last 20 years. The crooked,
stupid and cOwardly underworld
has been looking for the open gaps.
This applies to racing, football,
baseball, basketball and any sport
that commands the public interest.
The underworld has been looking
over sports rich pastures too long.
They have seen the harvest that
could be taken over. And too many
Of them have taken over-espe-
cially in racing and boxing. The
crooks expect to have even better
luck with baseball and football.
And nobody seems to know Just
what they can do about it. For the
crooks, as rule, are smarter than
the honest people. At least they
know their goal, and how to get
there. And not even the government
of the United States has the faintest
idea of how these thieves and
crooks can be handled. So they are
permitting this country's major in
terest to take its major beating, too
deeply interested in politics. which
seldom has been on the level.
Boxing has been packed with
crooks. So has racing. These are
the two sports that need most care,
and neither is getting the protection
that it needs.

claimed each year by the President
of the United States.
Eliminate Hazards,

Since more accidents are caused
in farm homes than at farm work,
all farm residents will be urged to
correct obvious hazards, such as
pouring gasoline or kerosene on a
wood fire, climbing on a weak lad
der or faulty electrical connections.
The value of good housekeeping
around the farmstead and in the
outbuildings as well as in the home
will be stressed.
Positive action to eliminate haz-
ards will be encouraged, the council
believes, if the whole family sets
aside day during National Farm
Safety Week for a thorough safety
inspection of every farm building.
Such an inspection, National Safe
ty council feels, will have lasting
results on year-around farm safety.
For example, building guard rails
around hay chutes, repairing steps
and removing litters of, glass,
barbed wire and junk are perma-
nent steps in the right direction.
Equally important is the elimina-
ton of unsafe work practices. Thou
sand of farmers each year gamble
the loss of life or limb to save the
few seconds required to fasten or
place the power take-off shield in
position. Some farmers continue to
crank tractors while they are in
gear. Others drive too close to the
edge of bitches or fail to slow down
enough for turns.
Dangerous Practices.
Many other unsafe practices will
be attacked during National Farm
Safety Week. Among them will be
the practice of permitting children
to drive tractor or to ride on it;
the practice of jumping off moving
tractors; the age-old custom of STEP
ping over or reaching through NOV
ing belts; the time-honored but de-
cidedly unsafe habit of standing on
the tongue between a team of
horses; the habit of passing reins
and lines around the body or wrists.

ing was an entirely new job to most
farmers when the war started, but
before it had progressed many
months, scores of them had become
old hands at the "fix it up, make it
do" trade.
Thus a war-taught talent enters
the peacetime picture with increas-
ing popularity. Experience showed
that many broken parts could be
welded satisfactorily without having
to remove them from the machine
and that such equipment then could
be returned to the fields promptly
especially when time-saving weld
ing jobs were done on the farm.
Also, farmers soon learned that they
could use their welders to construct
new equipment out of scrap parts
and modify present equipment to suit
their particular needs, as well as
make necessary repairs.

The earlier pigs intended for mar.

they are easier to handle, the
wounds heal more quickly and the
pigs are usually under closer super

watched closely. Incisions should be

and to give the finished barrow =

this season, are among the best, and
are really very reasonable in price
compared to what they have been

When you make jam, jelly, butter

This takes less time and allows for
less failure. Cooking in small guam
tity also saves the color of the fruit,

jam as is its eating quality.
If you want some good spreads
