FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

WARNING: During his play
ing days with the Detroit Tigers,
Ty Cobb was a fierce competitor
who antagonized opposing play
|ers with his rough and tumble
tactics.
One spring, the Tigers were
playing a series of exhibition
games with the Giants. Every
Giant player hated Cobb's CUTS.
His cockiness and his taunts
made them see red. Only one,
however, showed any inclination
to tangle with the irascible
Georgia Peach, who was as
tough as he was talented. That
was the second baseman, who
more than once had come off
|second best with Cobb.
During one game, when Cobb
was on first, the Giant second
sacker dared him to steal Sec
ond. Cobb went down on the
next pitch. He came into the
bag with spikes flashing and cut
a huge cash in the others foot.
A moment later, the two were
on their feet, trading punches.
That night. the Giant infielder
challenged Cobb to a fight in the
llatter's room. He was no match
for the Detroit star, who could
throw a punch with the best of
them. After a few minutes, he
was sporting a black eye, a swol-
len lip and lacerations. Finally
he was too battered to continue.
But his pride was intact and he
kept his head high.
Ok" he mumbled. as he
staggered to the door. Next
time you keep your spikes down. !"

sion occurs. The FERDs do not
"mind" being guinea pigs in crash
tests because they were designed
to Withstand high acceleration and
shock loads without failure. At
the same time, their dimensions,
weights, and centers of gravity
match human measurements.
FERD I is five feet nine and one
half inches tall and weighs $50
pounds, while F'ERD II stands six
feet tall and tips the scale at 200
pounds. The heads of the dunn
mics are made of cast aluminium
with plastic covering. Each head
holds an accelerometer, a device
which measures the inertia forces
on the head during the crashes.
Ford engineers also mount accel-
erometers in the abdominal cav
tiles and place aluminium foil on
the foreheads of the dummies, the
inside of each crash car windsield
and on each instrument panel. If
the aluminium foil on the dunn
mics heads touches the foil on
the windshield or instrument
panel, an electrical circuit is clos
ed and the times and points of
contact are recorded automatical-
ly. A contact switch on the
bumper of each crash car records
the exact time of the crashes.
When dummies are restrained in
place, devices called tensiometers
measure the load placed on the
restraining fastenings during the
collisions. In its crash injury eff

TEST DUMMIES
In ACCIDENTS
Life-Like Plastic Dummies
Being Used to Learn More
About Auto Hazards
CONDUCT CRASH TESTS

FERD 1 and FERD 1.-two life.
like plastic dummies-are helping
Ford Motor Company engineers
learn more about auto-accident
hazards. With electronic instru-
ments for brains, the dummies
play the role of passengers in ac-
tual full-scale crash tests conduct
ed at Ford Engineering Staff's
Dearborn Mich.) test track. Many
of the crash-test findings provided
by the dummies will be made pub
lie at the company's two-day Ma
tional Safety Forum and Crash
Demonstration in Dearborn Sep
tember 7-8. The two FERDs
(named from the first letters of
Ford Engineering Research De-
partment) have steel weldments
for skeletons. Their bodies are
covered with tough plastic for
muscle and a softer plastic to
simulate skin. The FERDs' joints
are patterned exactly after human
joints. Tension in the joints can
be controlled so that the dummies
are either rigid = as a person
might be in gracing himself for a
crash or limp as a human
would be if relaxed and unaware
of an impending accident. Equip
ment concealed in the head and
abdomen of each dummy sends
electronic messages to an instru-
ment car at each crash-test scene.
The instrument car carries senti-
tive recording devices which re-
ceive the messages from the crash
cars. The messages reveal move
ments of the dummies within the
cars and the forces of the impact
upon various parts of the bodies.
High-speed cameras also are used
to catch the movements of the
dummies within the cars at the
moment of collision. Each dummy
wears a white union suit so he
will show up better for photo
graphic purposes. In a typical
test, Ford engineers place the two
FIERDs in a crash car, which then
is towed into a stationary car to
simulate a real-life traffic colli-
sion. Ford engineers use mostly
late-model vehicles in the tests.
Each test requires two crash cars,
as we'll as an instrument car and
a towing car. The towing line,

TALK ON SALT
Woodrow w. Moore Tells Of
$4,000 Uses for Salt at
Meeting Thursday
PICTURE OF PRODUCTION

The Smyrna Rotary Club heard
a talk on salt" by Woodrow w.
Moore, sponsored by the Interna-
tional Salt Company, at their
meeting on Thursday. Pictures
showed how salt is produced, and
1T was told that there are $4,000
uses for salt, which is used in al
most every phase of industry, as
well as in the home. Salt for ami
mails is a necessity, he stated.
The sea contains about three and
one-half percent of salt, and the
great Salt Lake furnishes large
amount. Salt is mined by the hy-
draulic system, and underground
systems of mining salt were
shown. Methods of shipment of
the salt, by rail, ship, and truck
were also pictured, as well as the
refining of salt for dmestic use,
together with packaging and
methods of distribution. Nelson
Everhart responded. The song
leaders were Reynolds Pratt. Le-
roy Sayers, and Nelson Ever
hart. Robert Reed was accom-
oanist. Edward Wilson, vice pres
dent, presided. The Smyrna Rot

a gunshot wound in the calf of the
left leg as the result of the firing
of gun by his father-in-law, Ed
Parker. The incident occurred
Sunday at approximately $50 pm.
$3.50 p. m.
The alleged cause leading up to
the shooting, according to Parker,
was the disturbance caused by the
gunshot victim. Mitchell entered
the formers home, demanding
Parker's daughter return with him
to their home. She had left him
recently. When Parker attempted
to get him out of the house, Nit
chell refused to do so. 1t was then
Parker brought out the gun. When
Mitchell was outside the door, Par
ker fired several shots in the air,
with the intention of frightening
him away. One shot clipped the
fleeing son-in-law in the leg.
No charges were preferred
against Parker, although he was
later picked up carrying conceal
ed weapon.

= Grandfather" Clause
Ruled Out As Illegal

Resident fishermen of Alaska,
and those who have operated gear
in Alaskan waters the past five
years, will not be granted discrim-
inatory fishing rights to territori-
al waters, as outlined by the Fish
and Wildlife Service. The so-called
Grandfather" clause has been de-
clared illegal by Interior Depart
ment solicitors.
This ruling deals a death blow
to the FWS plan to restrict fish
ing next year to only fishing gear
that has been used in these waters
the past five years. The plan was
being instituted to bar outside
gear, thus curtailing fishing opera
tons in order to increase escape
mentS of salmon.
"The new ruling means the FWS
will recommend strict area licens-
ing throughout Alaska be estah-
lished in the 1856 regulations, :,
Fisheries Administrator Donald
McKernan said. FWS Director Far
ley'S wire said in part: Solicitor
advices preferential treatment may
not be shown Alaska residents in
issuance of licenses for fishing
boats and gear operations" ii
Limitation of licenses to boats
of historical record also contrary
to existing law He added: How
ever, limitation operation of one
district or area should be possible
with slight changes in registration
requirements.
Under area licensing plan fisher
men will be required to declare at
the time they register gear which
area they plan to fish. They then
will be restricted to that area
only.

Meany is perhaps not as opti-

he does think Americas economy

that are not SO good, such as the
farmers plight, and indications
that BODYBUILDING has been drop

There is some question, too,

He believes if taxes are cut, they
should be for the lower income
brackets. He predicts wages will
go up in 1856, fringe benefits to
the workers will be revised and
increased. A shorter work week is
in prospect, due to greater change.

Construction Will Begin
Or The New Post Office

Actual construction of a new
post office for Kodiak will begin
as soon as weather conditions will
permit, according to word just re-
ceived from SIG. Schwartz, Region
al Director, Post Office Depart
ment, Portland, Oregon.
The bid of Donnelly & Acheson
Company has just been accepted
by the Department and calls for
a 15-year lease with two 5-year re-
newell options.
The present building housing
the Post Office has been outgrown;
has an insufficient number of lock
boxes, provides no parking ac-
c0nodations, and occupies but
Zoo square feet of space, stated
Mr. Schwartz.
The new quarters will be located
within block of the Kodiak Bank
and specifically situated on the
west side Of Main Street between
Boring Way and the Donnelly &
AcheSon Docks.
Some 4145 square feet will be
used for the new post office with
200 square feet to be occupied by
the dock platform and another
6720 square feet to provide ample
off street parking space for both
postal employees and patrons of
the office
Reinforced concrete will be used
in the construction of the new
building, which is scheduled to
have two Iobbies. One will contain
the finance section, having the new
low or bank-type fixtures; and the
other lobby will feature an ample
number of lock boxes.
New lighting fixtures, heating
equipment and plumbing will
make this new post office modern
in every pect, stated Mr.
Schwartz, and provide better work
ing conditions for employees and
more efficiency in the handling of
the mails.
Maurice L. Briggs is Postmaster
of the Kodiak Post Office.
