Years Best Story
BY PAUL r. NICHOLSON

President Eisenhower's heart at
tack was the landslide choice of
editors as the biggest news story
of 1855.
Never has there been such unan-
unity of opinion on the years top
story in the % years the nations
top newsmen have been voting in
the annual Associated Press poll.
At years end, reports and specula-
tion of the Presidents condition
still was the biggest news, leaving
to be answered the single question
that is sure to produce the mo-
mentous story of 1856:
Can and will Ike run for and
win reelection?
1t was early on the morning of
Sept. "a that the President, visit
ing his mother-in-law near the
summer White House in Denver,
was stricken. His attack, shocked
and grieved nation was told, was a
moderate" one-somewhere be-
tween mild and serious. After only
one Slight setback, he rallied and
improved under the care of emin-
ent specialists, who said his SUI
perb physical condition had saved
him.

Wildlife Districts. The course is
designed to encourage by actual

Investigation and more research
finally proved to most scientists
satisfaction the Salk vaccine was
as generally effective as first
claimed. The great difficulty, said
pharmaceutical manufacturers was
that some early patches manufac-
tured last spring contained live vir-
us and so caused the disease in
children first inoculated. AS i'm
proved, safe vaccine finally was
manufactured, a leader in the
pharmaceutical field explaned:--
1--WE never had a tougher product
(Salk vaccine) to make. That is,

more than 200 lives and caused in
calculable damage in Pennsylvan-

Rhode Island.

Hunting Casualty
List Reaches 88

According to figures just releas-
ed by the Ohio Division of Wild
life, there were SO hunting casual
ties during the 1855 season just
closed. The report bears out fur
ther that most of the accidents
were the result of carelessness and
could have been prevented.
While no one knows exactly how
many people hunt in Ohio each
year, it is estimated that the fig
ure is in excess of 100000. The to-
tai of SO hunting casualties when
compared to the annual highway
toll, however appears rather small.
Beginning with the squirrel sea-
son, which opened in September,
and running through the water
fowl, deer, rabbit and pheasant
seasons which closed January 2,
1856, Ohio showed % fatal casual
ties g by heart attacks) and go
non-fatal casualties.
Following the same pattern as
for previous years, most accidents
were caused by youthful hunters,
in fact 500 of all hunting acci-
dents during 1855 were caused by
10 year olds or under. Hunters in
the 20 to 40 year old bracket caus-
ed $3.50 of the accidents with hunt
ers 40 years or older being respon-
sible for the remainder.
Pointing up the necessity of an
adequate program for the training
OF. our youth in the proper hand
ling of firearms, the report shows
that 37e6 of the total hunting cas-
ualties were caused by hunters
having less than one years actual
hunting experience in the field.
With the rabbit being Ohio's
most popular game animal, it is
reasonable to expect that most
hunters would be injured while
hunting this species. (47). Squir-
rel hunting took its toll likewise
with 19 hunters becoming casual
ties during this season. Six casual
ties occurred while hunting pleas
ants, with the balance taking place
while hunting for waterfowl, rae
coon and grounding. During the
three day cunning season for deer
there were two casualties, one fat.

ing any of Ohio's recent deer hunt
ing seasons.
OF the SO total casualties, 35
were caused by the accidental dis
charge of loaded weapon. Head.

tial to safe hunting
While a number of youth groups
in Ohio are now taking the Hunter
Safety Course, sponsored by the
National Rifle Association, and
the League Of Ohio Sportsmen, the
casualty report for 1855 seems to
indicate additional effort must be
put forth if hunting accidents are
to be pared TO a minimum

Sc Will Be Year
For Trenchermen

We will eat well again in 1856.
That is the way the food picture
sizes up in the opinion of Madison
County Agent John Moore.
He bases his prediction on fig
ures released by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. These figures
show an outlook for food supplies
the coming year just about the
same as in 1855. That is 1870
above the average supply for the
five year period 1858.
AT the same time, Moore says,
the demand for this supply of food
will continue strong, too, because
consumer incomes are expected to
be at or near record levels during
the coming year. So long as people
have money, points out Moore,
they can and will buy.
In fact, he suggests the posi-
bility of u. S. people spending
somewhat more for food in the
year ahead There seems to be a
growing demand for processed
foods. This trend has been espec-
tally strong during the past ten
years.
Some reasons for this trend in
clude the shift in population from
farm to non-farm areas; improve
ments in food distribution process
es; the more uniform quality and
the convenience of using processed
foods; and the general availability
of these foods throughout the year
at prices that do not show much
change from week to week.
There is but one failure, and
that is, not to be true to the very
best one knows.

Congress Passes
 Heroin Bill, Sends 1t to White House

WASHINGTON, R-Congress has sent to the White House a bill prescribing stiffer penalties, including death, in the hope of discouraging the peddling of mar cotics.
 The measure is expected to be signed into law by President Eis- enhower since it carries out rec concentrations made early this year by a Cabinet committee.
 The bill, passed by the Senate and House Monday, would in- crease present penalties for nar- cotics law violations and permit the death sentence for persons who sell or give heroin to chil- dren under Is. The death penalty would apply when recommended by juries in states permitting capital punishment.
 Without a jury's recommenda- tion, the penalty for the heroin law violation could be 10 years to life, even for a first offense.
 In addition, the bill would out law heroin in this country except for research and require all her oin to be turned over to the Treasury Department within 120 days.

WILLIAM A. HESSE, IN NOME 1900 TO 1907, DIES IN LA. AT 78

William A. Hesse, who lived in Nome from 1900 to 1907, died in Los Angeles June 5, 1856. He was 78.
 Hesse's entry into Alaska via Nome in 1900 marked the begin ming of 45 years that he spent in the territory. There may not be many persons in Nome or there abouts who remember William A. Hesse when he had surveyors office there from 1900 till 1907, but if there are some who recall those hectic days of judges and lawsuits, they may also recall tall youth of 22 or 23, who spent his time making surveys and maps of some of the very mines which were causing so much all tercation.
 After his sojourn of seven years in Nome, Hesse moved to more central location, Seward, where for four years he had surveyors office.
 Hesse was territorial highway highway engineer from 1881 to 1945. He was the first to hold that office by the vote of the people of Alaska; hitherto, the position had been one of appointment by the governor. As evidenced by the large electoral vote he received at each of the four elections-the first term was for only two years, the other three terms were for four years-he knew Alaskans and had friends all over the ter ritory.
 Hesse joined the Mount Me Kinley Lodge of Masons at Cor dova in 1918 and was 32-degree Mason.
 He leaves a wife, a son, and granddaughter, his name-sake, William A. Hesse, in Boise, Ida.

Propeller Tears Loose, Kills Plane Passenger, Injures 10 Others

WINDSOR, Ont, R-A propel- Tor tore loose from a four-engine Trans-Canada airliner Monday and disintegrated while the plane was flying at 5000 feet over Michigan. One blade ripped thru the cabin, killing a woman pas senger and injuring 10 others.
 The turbo-prop Vickers Wis count, which carried 30 passen- gers, was about 35 miles south west of here when the accident occurred. The pilot made an emergency landing at Windsor Airport on two engines.
 Trans-Canada officials said it was the first serious mishap the line has had with the speedy British jet-prop airliner since it was put into service in North America Is months ago.
 Killed when the blade cut thru the fuselage was Mrs. Robert J. Lippert, 3l, whose husband is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
 Mrs. Lippert's two sons, Rob- bic, 3, and Richard, IA months, suffered shock and were among five persons taken to hospital.
 Five others were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
