TROUBLE SHOOTER
BY CAMERON DOCKERY
Chapter l


LIE was lost.
With a snort of disgust
Doug Andrews sat down on a
fallen log and ,fumbled around
in his leather wind-breaker for
his pipe. After sucking on it
noisily until the dottle caught, he
leaned back and surveyed the
area near him. He was in a silent
pocket of the forest. Inch-thick
moss and maiden hair fern
sprouted from the rotting hem
lock on which he sat. Overhead
Washington cedar, fir and pine
met in dense canopy which al
most excluded sunlight and
sound. The ground was. spongy
with generations of droppings
from these same trees.
He shifted the air appreciative-
ly. For the past five years his
nostrils had been assaulted by an
unremitting series of unpleasant
odorS-cordite, burning rubber,
blood, sweat and the fetid suffo-
eating smell of decaying tropical

him and he grinned wryly as he
recognized the course. He had
been following the blazes, think
ing them a trail. guide; only now
did he realize that they were all
on ancient trees marked for fall
ing.
Well, he wasn't completely lost.
He could retrace his steps back
to the skid road or even if he
kept on he'd eventually come
upon some trail, but his actions
could hardly be considered aus
picious for a man who was play
ing his first role as trouble shoot
er in a timber outfit.
Leaning against a broken
branch he shut his eyes and re-
viewed the events that had
brought him here. A few lances
of sunlight escaping the massed
greenery above, speared down
lending a cleaning coppery patti
ma to Andrews brown hair and
widening the white scar high on
his right cheek bone. Even in re-
pose his face bore an energetic
determined look.

rived in Seattle after being re-
leased from the Army on the cas-;
coast. It had seemed strange t.

The Buckeye Story"
BY REED X. MELLON

Editors Note - This is the
second in a series of articles
written on the activities of the
Ohio State University and the
students from Noble county at
tending the University.
The Ohio State University started
life as an Agricultural and Mech
anical College in 1870. Some years
later'the present University was de-
veloped and is now composed of
nine colleges with seven schools in
cluded within these colleges. Today,
the Agricultural college is far more
developed than in its beginning
days.
As is true with any technical vo-
cation, one may engage in the farm
ing business without going to col
lege. However, it is well known
fact that a college training win
greatly increase the chances for sue
cess and greatly increases the COM
pensation resulting from a real
understanding of what is being
done
Many tough jobs may be avoided
in farming by a knowledge of sci
entific principles. Physics and chem
istry are involved in almost every
thing that we do. The science of the
soil is broader as time goes on and

is attracting some Of the best sci
entific minds. A knowledge of rural
economics is the basis of securing
satisfactory money returns in farm
ing. Experience is a great teacher,
but is also very expensive, making
1t logical to assume that college
training is short cut to experience.
A broad college training having
offered by the College of Agricul-
ture. A student in this college gets
general reputation for almost any
field of practice. 1t offers work in
the following departments: agricul-
tural chemistry, agricultural educa-
ton (teacher training), agricultural
engineering, agricultural extension,
agronomy (soils and crops), animal
husbandry, dairy technology, school
of home economics, poultry hus-
bandry, and many others. Even
these departments are broken down
into several divisions. In no other
type of college can a person secure
a training that is broader or which
| will prepare home for wider range
of useful activities.
My purpose in presenting these
statements regarding the useful
training that may be secured at the
Agricultural College is to direct
your attention to the Importance of

A new football ticket sales plan
for Ohio State was announced re-
Gently following a meeting of the
Board of Trustees. The plan was
formulated to make the most fair
distribution of tickets next fall. The
plan is based upon five classified
tions of ticket priority. In order of
priority, these groups are: Cd stu
dents, 10000; (2) faculty and en-
ployees, 5000; (3) alumni associa-
tion members and benefactors of the
University, $4,000; (4) visiting team
supporters, 10000; (5) general pub
lie, $4,000. Sales to the general pub
lie will begin August l. There will
be a limit of four tickets to per-
son.
At a meeting of Civitas, mems in
dependent school organization, on
May 6, Coach Wesley Fesler talked
on the possibilities of Ohio State in
the coming football season. Coach
Fesler remarked, 'T want you to

Bible as they apply to his partic-
ular case.
St. Paul, in his Epistle to the
young man Titus, wrote, unto
the pure all things are pure: but
unto them that are defiled and
unbelieving is nothing pure; but
even their mind and conscience is
defiled. They profess they know
God; but in works they deny
Him, being abominable and dis
obedient, and unto every good
work reprobate." AS man thinks
in his heart, so is he. Rotten
fruit is enjoyable food to worms
