THIS PETTY PACE

nR. SHAKEWELL, this columns
- medical and psychiatric con-
sultant, received this week the fol-
lowing letter from Miss Adelaide
Mopish, Baleful Gap, W. Va:
Remember me? When I wrote for
advice recently, l was about to
lose my job as vinegar faster at
the pickle plant, because my glum
leers were casting a sour atmos-
phere over the other employees.
You advised me to be a merry
vinegar faster who looked like she
was just pickering to play a happy
air on the piccolo. You said, Smile
and the dills smile with YOU
Well, I took your advice, / or
dered book on smiling with pic
lures showing every gay twist of
the features known to man or
monkey. There were faint smiles
appropriate for jokes you've heard
before, false smiles to wear when
a crowd comes barging in for the
week end, sardonic grins to greet
people who insist you owe them
money, broad grins to encourage
people who insist they owe you
money. In the appendix, l found
wry smirk for vinegar tasters and
folks who read this column.
MY BOSS PROMISED to put me
on probation if I could manage a
faint shipper during pickle bot
Ting. So I put in long hours of
practice upon anybody could cor
ner. l smiled, simpered, smirked,
grinned, laughed, and never let
sulky look cross my mug. Pretty
soon / could taste vinegar and
look like / was listening to a radio
comedian. (MoSt people listen to
a radio comedian and look like
they're tasting vinegar.)
This put me in four square with
my fellow employees, and even
the cucumbers were smiling back.
Then l made the fatal mistake of
attending Cousin Epworth Mop
ish's last rites at the Glotz Funeral
Parlor.
THE BOOK said a single melan-
choly thought could undo weeks of
arduous practice. / resolved not to
let a fourth cousins passing turn
me back into glum chun. To for
tify my spirit, l began to smile out
loud, to litter in unison with the
parsons eulogy. The louder he
-eulogized, bringin tears all
around, the louder l Uttered.

and other meadow grasses reach
peak yield of protein per acre a
little before the first bloom" ap-
pears on the heads. Usually, the
protein content of the hay de-
creases slowly during the bloom
stage, thereafter drops sharply to
low value.
The harvest of legume hay should
should be delayed until too late
in the season. From the standpoint
of quality and yield in both the
first and second cuttings, con-
tinues Haynes, the second week in
June is usually the best time for
making the first cutting of alfalfa
and red clover in Ohio. Mammoth
red clover, which normally makes
only one cutting, should be cut at
the full bloom stage-usually the
third or fourth week in June. Lad
ino clover has no sharp peak of
forage quality which controls the
harvest date. However, the suriv-
al of Ladino clover in meadow
mixture is considerably improved
by making early hay harvest. .
On many farms the haying OPP
Grafton is started just about the
time plants are passing the stage
of peak forage quality SO that
much of the hay is overripe by
the time the first cutting is COM
pleted over the entire farm. Where
weather, labor, and machinery
permit, it is generally advisable to
start meadow harvest a little in
advance of the time the plants
reach peak quality SO that the bulk
ofthe haying operation occurs
when the crops are at the best
stage of development, advises
Haynes.

er roads than ever"
Gen. Reybold, whose long car
eer in the Army Engineers, of
which he was wartime chief, in
cluded vast experience with un-
ruly waters, likened the skyrock-
citing number of motor vehicles to
a FLOOD threatening to inundate
the country's out moded highway
system completely" The official
of ARBA, Americans oldest ma
tional good roads organization,
continued:
More cars travelling faster and
more miles each over highway
system adequate for traffic
weights, speeds and density of an
patent explanation for the heavy
Memorial Day holiday traffic toll,
as well as for the annual high
way carnage that wipes out the
equivalent OF a city OF $4,000 pop
ulation and Injuries as many
people as lived in say, prewar
Detroit or Los Angles"
Referring again to the Bureau
of Public Roads report crediting
private automobile registrations
(totalling &C., ,,272, ,7O3) with the
greatest gain (92 percent) in
1949 over the 1948 registration
(33, ,261, ,454.) Gen. Reybold said:
Our expanding economy. winch
aims to distribute more things
among more people each year, has
made possible these production
miracles in the economically vital
automotive industry. That such
phenomenal output is in higher de-
mand, proves once again that we
are truly a nation on wheels. Sim
liar ingenuity is required to fin
ance commensurate highways for
the use of these automobiles,
which are symbolic of the Ameri-
can way of life"
Ascribing the plight of what he
called the country's highway
crisis" to ''inequitable distribution
of the $50 billion spent annually
on highway transportation" Gen.
Reybold said:
This imbalance, which finds 80
cents and more out of every dollar
being spent on the vehicle and its
operation and less than 10 cents
on the roadbed, must be adjusted
To use only one item-the vehicle
as an example, conservative
price tag of $1,000 on new motor
vehicles purchased last year
places the cost of these vehicles
at nearly $40 billion. In highways
by contrast, we invested only 81
billion in 1949. The longer we de
lay adequate capital investments
in our highways, the worse our
traffic jam will grow, and the
more We'll continue to waste in
near-futile maintenance costs and
extravagant vehicle operation
costs"

Claim FishinQ
Good In Ohio

The creel census takers of the
Wildlife Division last week found
fishing to be good in most lakes
and streams checked.
A take of one fish per hour per
fisherman is considered good fish
ing and many lakes exceed the
average.
Seneca Lake in Noble and Cue
cnsey counties reported catch
of lis fish per hour made up of
1870 crappies and 14aS bluegills.
A Turkeyfoot Lake in Summit
county fishermen averaged Is
fish per hour About 1870 were
bluegills Mosquito Reservoir in
Trumbull county produced catch
of II per hour with crappies maxi
ing up 83eS of the catch. Leesville
Lake in Carroll county produced
1s fish per hour. Bluegills ac-
counted for $50 of the catch and
crappies, 41%6. Clouse Lake in
Perry County opened to fishing
just last year reported 1.3 aver
age made up of 500 bullheads,
22%d bluegills and 1870 crappies
AT Indian Lake where fishermen
averaged 1.04, crappies made up
500 of the catch and at East Re-
servoir in Summit county a catch
of 1.3 was reported including 44fo
bluegills and 26G6 crappies. Most
water temperatures have remained
around 20 degrees. Fishing waters
generally have been reported as
low for this season of the year
and unusually clear which, by
veteran fishermen, is considered
detrimental to good fishing.
