Good Ladders Can
Save Your Life

Dependable ladders are neces-
sary fire fighting equipment" says
William G. Sloan, Assistant County
Agricultural Agent.
Single ladders don't cost much.
and are easily made. A number of
them should be kept just for fight
ing fire.
Mr.. Sloan suggests that all lad
ders should be long enough to reach
the roofs of one story buildings,
and second story windows on other
buildings. One ladder should be
tall enough to reach the roof Of the
tallest building on the farm.
Ladders are most convenient for
fire fighting if they are hung on the
outside walls of buildings. Or put
ladders in the same place that
buckets, ropes and fire extinguish-
eFs are kept. Ladders hung on the
outside should be protected with
oil or varnish instead of paint, for
paint hides cracks and other weak
nesses.
Ordinary ladders can be convert
ed to roof ladders by putting on
iron hooks.

The part Of Magnolia in M-G-M's
TechnicOlOr version of the great
Jerome Kern Oscar Hammerstein,
II, musical play, "Show Boat
meant far more than just another
screen role for Kathryn Grayson.
The famous "Show Boat" tunes
have played a vital part in her
career. In fact, "ShOw Boat" sail
ed Kathryn straight before the Hol-
lywOOd cameras.
She sang MAKE Believe" at the
concert at which she was origin
ally discovered. She. sang "Why Do
/ Love You" for her initial motion
picture test. She sang Make Be
lieve" again for one of her early
stellar roles in the "ShOw Boat"
sequence of "Till the Clouds Roll
By" She sang the haunting "You
Are Love" and audiences at the
London Palladium fairly shook the
rafters with applause.
"ShOw Boat" has been lucky for
Kathryn Grayson. It also estab-
lished records for other stellar
personalities.
Norma Terris, the original Mag
nolia, played the first engagement
in New York for 572 performances
and a revival several years later
for 180 performances. Laura La
Plante introduced Magnolia to the
screen as a silent heroine, and
Irene Dunno was the talking
screens first "ShOw Boat hero
inc. Several years ago, the role of
Magnolia in another Broadway re-
vival sky-rOcketed practically un-
known Jan Clayton to a spot as
the toast Of New York.
The current M-G-M production.
however, does have two "firsts" for
Miss GraysOn. She is the first Mag
nOlia to be photographed IN Tech
nicolor on a Cotton Blossom capa-
able of paddle-wheeling itself down
a river. a quarter of a mile in
length.
Kathryn also claims the honor
of being the first Magnolia that
ever had to be hOisted to the top
deck of the Cotton Blossom in a
bo'sun's chair. 1.-THE hoop skirts
were too. hOOped for the compan-
iOnway!" she says.
"Show Boat" comes to the New
