cross picket lines to report for work
constitutes participating in labor

plentiful than last year and game of.
ficials are fully expecting the numbe:
of hunters in the woods to number up
wards of 5000, depending to a large
extent upon the weather.
Last year is was estimated 1000 or

Lightning Protection

Now is a good time to take pre-
cautions against lightning strikes.
Fires set by lightning are listed as
one of the major causes of farm
fire losses. The annual farm prop
erty loss to lightning approaches 30
million dollars. More than 500 farm
ers are killed by lightning each
year. Old and improperly installed
rods do not provide perfection and
sometimes increase the danger
of damage from lightning. Rods
should be made of copper or gal
vanized iron and conductors should
have a strong contact with perma-
nently moist earth. Wire fences
should be grounded every $50 feet
to protect livestock.

eating. Traces Of radioactive mate
rails placed in fertilizers taken up
by plants can be traced with a

the treated fertilizer the radio

were assisting employees of the Carter
Fabric Corp in forming a local of
the CIO-TWUA," Mr.. Payton wrote
Gov. Tuck

that word from you would put an
end to the un-American, anti
