Dangers Lurk In
Barns on Farms

Danger turks behind every barn
door-but sometimes you have
to be looking for trouble to find
it!
If you invited w. E. Stuckey,
farm safety specialist at Ohio
State University, to visit your
farm, he would start looking for
trouble-and chances are he
would find it in the barn.
Finding and correcting the dan
ger spots, he says, will make
barn chores safer and easier. To
help you locate these hazards, he
makes these suggestions, all of
which have been endorsed by
the National Safety Council.
Check your barn for loose OBJ
jects or things that my cause
falls-high door sills, abrupt
changes in floor levels, weak
boards, protruding cleats or other
tripping hazards. Do some house
cleaning and set things in order
if the alleywayS or work areas
are obStructed with feed, tools,
harness, feed carts or other OBJ
stacles. See that dangerous cor
ners and work centers are we'll
lighted. Avoid storing loose ma
terialS overhead and keep forks
and other equipment in safe
places.
Loft doors, feed chutes and
ladders need special attention.
A stairway that is hand-railed
and kept clean provides the SAT-
est and easiest passage to hay
mows. Stairwells used as feed
chuteS are dangerous because
loose hay or straw makes foot
ing uncertain. Separate feed
chutes with guards above the
loft floor are desirable.
If ladder is used, see that il
extends we'll above the loft floor
1t should also have well-spaced
stout rungs that are placed far
enough from the wall for secure
footing.

Accident Prevention

Paul Hoffman, president, The

There was far more corn from

berry falling and breaking a leg.
Being true horsemen. they never
considered the lives and limbs of
the cutter occupants.
Both men underestimated Lin
ny's strength and skill. She ham
died the black beast like Dave
McClary and kept him in the road
until he began to tire. Fortunately
they met no one. When Black
berry showed an inclination to
slack off, Linny urged him on.
Finally, when he frankly tired.
she gave him the whip. Five miles
north, at Checkered Tavern, she
turned him in the circle and
started back, forcing him all the
way. When they reached the Brew
sters' house, Blackberry stood for

fanks steaming and his chest
heaving. There. said Linny with
satisfaction. you'll have no more

ceit away, that first five miles,"
she had taken the conceit out
of Father, too. Father meant every
word of it when he told her Good
night" J."
How did you know. sir. that
Linny is like she is?" Father asked
Cap, most respectfully. You've
never said so much as hello to
her in your whole life"
She's horsewoman, my boy.
Better than ninety-fve per cent
of the men,
"Yes, sir" said Father, still
puzzled.
Never marry horsewoman.",
Caps eyes twinkled. "A man is
something like a horse, only
smaller. If you have a wife who
can handle a stud horse, depend
upon it, she'll have a curb bit be-
tween your teeth in two jerks of a
kicker's tail"
That, of course, was what my
mother meant about Captain
Crittenden risking his most valua-
BILE and priced possession to stop
Father from making a terrible
mistake.
And as for Mothers sister, my
Aunt Linny married three times
and was divorced three times, in a
generation when divorces were
scarce as two-minute trotters. But
Aunt Linny made a great success

Linny ignored her. please, Mel.
We could have just a little ride,
so can say I've been behind
Blackberry. Mel! You know |
don't ask favors very often"
She silenced Abby's protests,
with a few words which Father
didn't catch. Abby had to 60
along, because that was Judge
Brewster's rule. While the girls
went for their fur capes. Father
brought Blackberry and the cutter
from the stable.
As they came out to the horse
block, Linny noticed that Abby
was carrying the big cutter UNI
brella. Take that thing back"

Nonsense. It's cleared up"
Il can feel sleet on my face
right now. If l can't have an UNI
brella. l won't CO."
"Oh, for heavens sake! Keep it
then. But hurry or Mother won't
let US 60 at all.
FATHER noticed that Blackberry
shifted and snorted as the girls
climbed into the cutter. But he
was so occupied in tucking his
plush-lined, deer-skin robe about
their feet that it never occurred to
him that this was new experience
for the stallion. Blackberry had
hauled no woman passenger be-
fore. Cap had owned him since he
was foaled and the horse regarded
women with the suspicion of
father superior of a monastery.
When the girls were tucked in,
Father naturally took his place on
the right of the cutter seat, Linny
was in the middle with Abby on
the outside. Father turned the
horse toward Nairn.
What can he do?" asked Linny.
Father gave the stallion his
head.
ANY idea what he's clocking?"
Perhaps an even three" lied
Father. With that load and treach-
erous footing, the stallion couldn't
hope for three.

1T doesn't seem as fast as l
expected" said Linny in a disap-
pointed tone. So, against his bet
ter judgment, Father spoke sharply
to the trotter.
A moment later a strong gust of
north wind showered them with a
lashing of hail and sleet. Abby
sighed and raised her umbrella.
Blackberry was twelve years
old. Until that moment. an UNI
brella had never been raised be-
hind him. With a leap, which
jerked the umbrella from Abby's
hands, the stallion bolted.
FATHER knew he was in trouble,
but he hung on, saving skillfully
at the single snaff1e bit, confident
that he could bring the animal
back under control. He had his
favorite audience beside him and
figured it was a good time to
demonstrate his horsemanship.
But. in an emergency, Linny
trusted no one but herself. For the
first time in her life she was
thoroughly frightened and, in a
moment of mad panic, she reached
over and grabbed the reins from
Fathers hands,
Scared out of her wits. poor

The black horse rushed through
the village like something from
the Apocalypse. A wild-eyed youth
burst into the Wiley House bar
to inform Captain Crittenden.
"Blackberry's run away"
The captain shuddered and
tossed off a measure of stimulant.

"A woman's driving him."

"If it cures my boy of his wild

Negro Korea Troops
By the Assoeiased Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-Praise
for Negro troops in Korea came
yesterday from President Truman
in message to the convention OF
the Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car
Porters, AFL.
"All America is proud of the
valorous performance Of our fight
ers in Korea" said the President s
message. delivered by Secretary Of
Labor Maurice Tobin.
Their high courage and skill
and morale will give a new i'm
petus to the measures we have
undertaken that American forces
will be the most democratic in the
world"
Mr.. Tobin, speaking for himself
said their loyalty proves that
American Negroes have resisted
the "subversive allurements Of
Communist propaganda"
In another address, A. Philip
Randolph, president of the Negro
union, spoke strongly against the
lilly white" policy Of other rail-
way brotherhoods.
White railway unions, 98 pei
cent of which have color clauses
in their constitutions, claim demo
cratic rights for themselves, but
they use every ounce of their eco
nomic power to deprive coloreo
workers of economic advancement
in the industry" he said.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-The spirit

ist government Of China is bring
ing about "a release from social
evils too long and unheedingly ac-
icepted."
DR.. Geoffrey Fisher. the Arch
bishop Of Canterbury. assailed
"atheistic and imperialistic COM
munism," and accused the Catho-
lie church Of making impossible a
common Christian front against
communism. He spoke before a
meeting of the synod of the Con-
vocation Of Canterbury.
In reference to Communist
China he said Chinese Christians
acknowledge that the present re-
gime is morally and socially pre-
ferable to the corruptions and in
efficiency and explorations Of the
regime it replaced" He added:
zone must not dismiss the ten
sions created by communism
merely by denunciation. We who
can see the black tyranny of its
creed fully revealed naturally de-
nounce it. But we must frankly
realize that In the Far East it
can easily be seen not as q
tyranny but, at present. as .

the steel supply and needs had
been surveyed and indicated that
the squeeze on consumers will not
be anywhere near as severe as ii
was in World War II.
He said the steel industry was
producing now at near capacity
and had agreed to figure out
means of increasing production,
In addition. Mr.. Sawyer added,
heavy demands that marked the
early part of World War II will
not have to be met now.
Ships, both of the Navy and
maritime categories; airfieldS. fac
tories and many other facilities
which made heavy demands on
steel in the early months of World
War II are now available" Mr..
Sawyer explained. For this rea-
son, the problems will be different
and we hope easier to solve"
Mr.. KnudSon, who was named
transportation chief, was desig-
mated to that post by the Inter

man, asked to be relieved of those
duties. Mr.. johnson headed the
