POEM.
fFrom E. c., WdShington.)
In answer to D. j.. Mount Rain
ier: There is furnished below
copy of one of the poems request
ed. There is a Fountain Filled
With Blood" which appears in the
hymnal of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church as revised in the year
1892.
There is fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emanuefs veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Loose all their guilty strains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may l, as vile, as ne,
Wash all my sins away.
Dear, dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Till ali the ransomed church Of God
Be saved to sin no more.
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme.
And shall be till ! die.

When this poor. lisping, -stammering tongue

Can some reader who has had
experience growing gardenia house

should it be cut? ANY other in

RUG MATERIAL?
KIDNEY BEANS?
From Mrs. p. M. c., Alexandria,
Has any one ever bought cotton
material from a mill, suitable for
making braided rug? I suppose
it would be sold by the pound, and
I have no idea how much to buy
for small rug. Is it expensive?
Does it come in strips, ready to
braid, or must, 1t be torn at home?
Where can I write to find out
about this?
Before the war, we used to buy
canned kidney beans that were
very large and very dark. I>have
tried several brands, and have not
found that kind recently. I know
you cannot mention trade names
in RICH. but perhaps some kind
reader would write and tell me.

Tells Of Trip On
Mexico S Newest
Circle Highway

Information regarding the new
Mexican highway from Ell Paso,
Texas, to Mexico City may be OBJ
tained from Walter v. Kemp
thorne of 1869 North Lockwood
who recently returned to East
Cleveland from San Francisco, via
Mexico City.
A veteran traveller of over 35 900
miles through 25 states in the past
5 years, Mr.. Kempthorne was one
of the first Americans to drive
over the modern all-weather road
which now permits tourists to vi
sit Mexico on a circle route, en-
tering at Laredo, Texas and leav-
wing at Ell Paso. Just completed
five months ago, the highway
passes through sections of Mexico
hitherto impossible by car.
Mr.. Kempthorne's two-week stay
in Mexico City included a visit
with the family of Diego Rivera,
famous Mexican muralist, and the
honor of being the fifth American
to view a screening of the Bru-
nuel documentary film about the
Mexico City slums, "Los Descone-
cidos," the much-discussed foreign
movie which will have its New
York premiere in December. His
original itinerary included trip
to Key West, Florida, to visit his
college roommate Pat Hemingway,
son of the author, but lack of time

There has been much favorable
comment all season regarding the
excellent performance turned in
each week by the six pert and
lovely majorettes who "front" the
Shaw band. We certainly don't
want to ignore the fine work of
Drum Major Wayne Carlson and
his assistant, Tom Shafer, as we'll
as the superior brand of music
which the band produces, but
everyone seems to notice the ma
jorettes more than anything else.
Since the majorette policy was
adopted locally a few years ago,
the white satin uniforms, plumed
helmets, high boots and twirling
batons have been a welcome addi-
tion to the fine Cardinal musical
organization which performs so
efficiently each week.

tank in Cleveland in 1914 Sight-seers from
other parts of town rushed into the devas-
tated area, and some met the same fate as the
onlookers at Texas City.
Curiosity stands at the top of Maurice
Reddy's list of the dangerous reactions pro-
duced by unexpected disaster. Gullibility
runs a close second. Rebuilding programs
were delayed for weeks after the Charleston
earthquake of 1886 because rumor swept
town that local prophet who had predicted
the exact date of the tremor had announced
the imminence of second and even more dis
astrous quake.
Two Oxdeals
RESIDENTS of Rutland, VT, whose fortitude
had already been tested when large reservoir
broke and inundated the town, underwent
another and entirely unnecessary ordeal when
rumormongers prattled that another reser-
voir was about to give way.

adversely. But there's also
a seamy side to this pic
ture. The same calamity that
destroys an outstanding citi-
zen's home sometimes dis
torts his judgment and integ-
rity. Reddy has seen persons
who, under normal circum-
stances, would never think of
trespassing on their neigh
boris property, walk next
door, enter a friends house

and help themselves to his valuables What's
wrong with that?" they would ask. Cant
you see that his door has been blown off and
his roof has caved in?"
Reddy was in the small town of Haysi, Va,
when the local hardware store caught fire.
I'VE all pitched in and helped the poor
owner drag his merchandise out into the
street," he recalls Then one fellow picked
up two new shotguns from the pile, tucked

shouted the hardware-store owner.
Your guns? pulled EN- out Of the fire.
didn't I? That makes 'em mine"
Reddy, an old hand at handling such quar-
rels, talked the man into giving up the guns.
Maurice Reddy was born on farm near
Mason City, Iowa, 81 years ago. II might be
said that disaster was looking for him
even before he arrived, for tornado
destroyed the family home several years
before his birth and permanently i'm
jured his mother. After finishing high school
he left the farm to take job as cub reporter
on the Rockford. ILL.,, Republic and was
working there in 1909 when spark ignited a
pile of straw in coal mine at nearby Cherry
Valley. Two hundred fifty-nine miners were
killed in fires and explosions. Twenty were
rescued. Two widows of lost miners settled in
his neighborhood, living on funds provided by
the Red Cross This was his introduction to
the service.
Race Riots Are Hardest
LATER as a volunteer worker for Red Cross
chapter in Chicago he showed so much en-
thusiasm that the authorities persuaded him
to accept fulltime staff job. Reddy received
his baptism of fire in the disaster service dur
ing the Chicago race riots of 1919. He still
maintains that race riot is the most difficult
of all disasters c'because you can't heal the
wounds of the injured with medicine''). Ex-
cept for a temporary assignment as head of
the Chicago chapter, he's been in the disaster
service ever since.
The trouble he's seen has not warped
Reddy's personality. He laughs easily. enjoys
game Of bridge, his rose garden and the
sports pages But he never waves good-by
to his wife without wondering if it will
be one, or 20, or 100 days before he secs
her again. He may arrive at his Office at
national disaster headquarters in downtown
Washington, D. c., Office building and receive
orders to take the first plane for Florida, plant
himself directly in the path of hurricane and
begin distributing aid as soon as the high
winds die down.
News of fresh disasters sometimes arrives
by Teletype machines or via short-wave
radio station. Usually. however, the first fash
is received by telephone frpm the local chap
ter closest to the scene Colin Herrle, veteran
administrator of the service, assigns one of his
IL ace disaster fighters to swing into action.
Biggest jobs usually land on Reddy's desk
since he has had the most experience in the
field.

City Shares
In Amateur
Day. Stadium
BY Bob Keefer

Thanks to the generosity of the
new owners of the Cleveland Base
ball Club, East Cleveland baseball
fans will be afforded the opportun-
ity to contribute to the local recrea-
ton fund and, at the same time, see
the Amateur Day program at
Cleveland Stadium on Wednesday,
July IL.
The Cleveland Baseball Fedora
ton, sponsors of the annual dia-
mond classic, has evolved a plan
this year which will enable all rec
ognized amateur baseball organi-
cations in the Cleveland area to
derive financial benefit from the
net proceeds. Each group will be
permitted to sell $1.50 reserve seat
tickets for the Amateur Day pro-
gram and retain $1.O0 of that
amount for their own organization.
Thus the Amateur Day program
has become an All-Ohio affair this
year instead of solely a Cleveland
event. The Cleveland Baseball Fed
Grafton has netted between $150,O0O
and 100000 for the sandlot base
ball fund since 1886, and this year
it was decided to permit neighbor-
ing localities to share in this
worthy cause. The response to date
has been excellent and it is hoped
that the 1948 record crowd of
64,877 will be surpassed next month
when the Cleveland Indians and
