Kentucky Man
Is Inventor
For Inventors

In a cornfield near Burlington, KY,
lives Frank Sinton Milburn. whose
claim to distinction is that he oper-
ates one of the most unusual plants
In all the Middle West. This is true
for many reasons, but probably for
the chief reason that Milburn is
the sole worker in the plant.
The building which houses the
industry has a puzzling collection
of complex tools and machinery.
dies, jigs and other items. It does
practically no manufacturing, this
strange industry-in fact the less
production required, the better Mr..
Milburn likes it.
It is difficult to describe the
operation as a business; it is more
like a profitable hobby.
Milburn likes engineering prob
lens, so he has found his occupa-
ton in solving the problems of big
and little people who want help.
Helps Other People
For IS years now, Milburn has
been wrestling with other peoples
problems. He has his shop at Bur-
lington because he likes the soli-
tude; he sympathizes with folks
who have to work in downtown Gin
cinnati.
His business, essentially, Is to
take on the engineering Of ideas OF
embryonic inventors.
His contact media are two-line
classified ads in such magazines
as Popular Mechanics. These bring
in problems from all sorts Of in
ventors. And they are interesting
stories he gets.
81 have seen more rat traps and
combination salt and pepper shak-
ers than anybody in the world" he
observed with a broad grin.
About 80 per cent Of the inquiries
are Of questionable usefulness. but
the other 20 per cent contains use-
full and potentially worthwhile
ideas for new products, or improve
ments Of existing products.
He was in earnest when he
pondered the sad plight Of many
worthwhile items or gadgets. The
inventor may have a practical idea;
Milburn may be able to engineer
the product satisfactorily for pro-
duction; but the inventor generally
20 u;fbo,, tho roaJi,,p, Sor hr;p oipo
it before the public.
eff we could put across the ideas
of these 20 per cent it would make
jobs and generate business" he
observed.
Needs Many Tools
Hence, the business is principal ,
ly an engineering one This requires
a multitude Of tools, dies, jigs and
fixtures. But even in this field, the
business is different from the engi-
neering firms which function a.
service units to large business o n
Germs.
Milburn is conscious of the linn
tied resources Of the people who
come to him with ideas. So he uses
all sorts of mechanical improviza-
to hold costs to a minimum.
Yet, all his customers are not
inventors. He has done
some rare precision work for
a watch company to facilitate that
company's wartime production Of
precision measuring instruments.
He has a rare assortment Of watch
makers tools and jigs. He did con-
engineering and produc-
ion on a tiny item that went into
engines built by Wright
aeronautical corp. And he answers
he call Of many manufacturing
companies around the country for
engineering work.

Red Cross Spent
$4,000 in County

Preparedness is one of the most
economical forms of insurance and
nowhere is this fact more true than
in the field of d aster relief,
George v. Christie, Chairman of the
Maricopa County Chapter of the
American Red Cross said today, in
pointing out the disaster relief act
ivities of the local chapter during
1913.
1--WE in Maricopa County were
indeed fortunate in facing no major
disaster operations and responsible
litieS such as occurred in many
other sections of nation caused by
floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and
the most recent blizzards in North
ern Arizona which affected serious
ly the welfare of the Navajo and
Hopi Indians, and for whom Nation
al Red Cross gave food and medical
supplies m oun nting to over
Arizona sun., 1949-03-18

meet the constantly recurring de-
mands on it's resources in this field
that Red Cross is seeking nation
ally to raise $6O.OO0,OO0 during this
months fund campaign, and locally
is seeking s2o1,157 in Maricopa
County.
Christie recalled the procIama-
tion in January of Governor Dan
E. Garvey, designating the Ameri-
can Red Cross as the official re-
lief agency for the state of Arizona.
Other Red Cross programs for
which funds are sought include SER
vices to the armed forces--counsel-
ing, financial and communications
assistance and other help with per-
sonal and family problems for the
men serving at home and overseas
services to veterans, and the other
education programs aimed at pro-
noting health and safety in the
home and community.

burned. The Red Cross helped this
family back to as normal a life as
possible, under these tragic circum-
stances.
In another case, a jet plane
crashed into a home at Higley,
destroying the home and killing the
pilot. The plane also struck park
ed car, injuring two persons. hTe
Red Cross assistance to the two in
jured persons; and gave concrete
aid ITO the widow, with five chill
dren, whose home was destroyed in
the crash.
He cited another case in which
eight families comprising ex-G.I.'s
and their families, were hit by fire
which destroyed the dormitory
building which housed them on the
grounds of the Hassayampa Flying
Field. With all their clothing and
personal e f fe C IS destroyed, Red
/ Cross gave emergency and rehab-
ilitation aid.
Foresighted planning on the basis
of known hazards to the individual
community, backed by the resour-
ces of a nationwide organization
with nearly seventy years of ex-
perience in disaster relief opera
tions to its credit, have made the
Red Cross tn e source to which
people instinctively turn for help
when disaster strikes, Christie said.
Emergency medical and nursing
care, facilities for feeding and
sheltering the homeless and provis-
ion of clothing and other necessities
are the principal functions Of the
Red Cross during the immediate
emergency phases of a disaster,
Christie explained. BY far the
greater part of Red Cross disaster
relief work Games later, however,
when victims whose homes busi-
ness and farms have been Destroy
ed or damaged and whose resources
are not adequate to the task of
economic recovery are helped to-
ward restoration to their normal
way of living. Such help by the
Red Cross is given strictly on the
basis of family and individual need
rather than on the losses they sus-
tain, Christie added.
Disaster relief is one of the most
important, if not the most import
ant, function of the American Red
Cross organization, and it is to

$18,0O0," stated Christie. However,
our local disaster service has carri-
ed out the obligation of meeting
the needs of .142 families in the
county totaling 430 persons, needs
resulting from fires wind and
storm damage which required q
total Red Cross expenditure OF
$12,628.18 this past year."
Single disasters totaled 80, and
involved from 1 to 8 families each,
asserted Christie 13 Maricopa
County communities were affected
by single disasters and included:
Avondale 3, Buckeye 3, Chandler
3, Gila Bend 1, Gilbert 2, Tempe 7,
Glendale 2, Litchfield Park 2, Mesa
2, Peoria 5, Phoenix 81, Tolleson S,

The bulk of the disasters was
caused by fire. Here Christie re-
called one disaster which took place
at Gila Bend in which the home
was destroyed by fire, two babies

"Lost Dutchrnan"
Trek Sunday

The LOST DUTCHMAN GOLD
TREK to be held Sunday, March
20, is an exhilirating, interest pack
ed day spent in the tabled Super
stition Mountains in the very vic
Unity of the famous lost mine. The
Trek was started many years ago
by the DONS when they began 60
ing into the mountains checking on
the clues to the Lost Dutchman
mine.AS more and more folks be-
gan to ask to go with us into the
SuperstitionS, the annual Trek fin
ally formed. Obviously, it is impos-
sible for more than a thousand
people to explores gold clues! It has
been necessary, therefore, to alter
somewhat the purpose Of the Trek
and it has been made into day in
which everything possible in the
way of Spanish, Indian and Wes-
tern entertainment and folk craft
has been packed.
At night will come a show of
western and Indian origin, staged
under the stars and the brilliant
Western mon. Here will be told
the story of the old Dutchman and
his long lost mine. The show closes
with brilliant and beautiful fire
fall from the towering cliffs rising
four hundred feet behind the plat
form, to fit ending to a full and
satisfying day.
All of this is included in the
price of your ticket, $500, plus
federal tax. There are NO extra
charges. All you need to bring are
warm coat for evening and per-
haps flashlight. Cameras are well
come, for this is wonderful op-
portunity for you to- get some of
the finest color shots in the world.

Fishing in the Zambesi
For Tiger Fish.

Excitment and thrills await all
who fish African rivers. Probably
no other river can offer so much OF
this sport as the great Zambesl
which winds it's broad uninterrupted
course through bush and plains
between lush ravines across the
southern part of the continent.
OF all the Zambesi fish, and there
are many. the voracious tiger fish Is
king. He is a beauty, with longi-
tudinal stripes, orange and red tail
and fins, and a fearful array OF
sharp teeth.
The favorite haunts of the tigers
are usually at the heads OF rapids
or in racing waters around the
bends where they lie facing up
stream. They must be ever alert
for here they are in company OF
partially submerged crocodiles who
are not at all adverse to tiger fish
for dinner. The tigers keep an eye
on their foes. The slightest move
from one sends the swift-movlne
tigers out of reach.
You fish for the tigers from the
bank or canoe. In a boat you have
paddler and if you are steady or
your feet you are tempted to stane
up to fight your tiger for he is likely
to weigh 20 pounds. The tiger car
be captured with bright trolling
spoon and will rush for piece OF
red rag with as much vim as If Il
were hunk of red, juicy meat.
Realizing he is hooked he makes
