HUNT BUT SURVIVE

The hunting season is here, and each year millions OF
Americans look forward to it. Wheather it be deer, duck,
pheasant, quail, or other game, it is always good to enjoy the
cooler weather, and outdoors, when the hunting season rolls
around.
Unfortunately, hunting accidents in recent years have
multiplied to an alarming degree mainly because the num-
Der of hunters has increased. This editorial may not seem too
interesting to the down-toearth hunter, but it could save
someone's life.
Hunting accidents usually occur through carelessness, and
when they involve %shotguns, it is often a case OF carrying
loaded guns in cars, crossing fences with loaded guns, etc.
When rifles are used, in deer hunting, this is especially true,
and extremely dangerous.
And, in bird hunting, it is a good rule to hunt in parties
of two. When more than two hunters are following the dog,
and fire on the birds rising, there is considerably more danger
involved than when only two persons are firing.
There are many other rules about hunting, and many
hunters are better versed on safety rules than this editors
however, those tips mentioned above might prove valuable,
and the general idea that great care should be used in the
handling of guns, is sound advice.
In short, we hope all hunters will keep in mind this advice
for the 1959-6O hunting season, and survive to see many more
roll around.

PRICE RISE HALTED

The Consumer Price Index de-
clined by one-thenth of l per cent
in August after having risen for
four consecutive months.
The normal late-summer decline
of food prices, sharper this time
than usual, was responsible for the
slight drop in the overall index.
There were increases in most other
major c~omponents - housing, ap-
parel, transportation medical and
personal.

of the kind used by sheet-metal
workers to heat their soldering
irons. The talk was desultory
Charlie teased me a bit, saying
that he doubted if a college boy
could do the work without
"white-eying," a phrase used to
describe being overcome by heat.
I told him that once, when was
about thirteen and was spending
the summer back on my grand
mothers farm, / had white-eyed
pitching hay into loft on a very
hot afternoon. My uncle had told
me the phrase had come into use
because when person collapsed
from the heat the eyes rolled
back until only the whites show
ed. Charlie asked me few ques-
tons, and I told him | wanted to
get my legs and back IN shape
for football. He chuckled and
said, Imagine that" | went on
to tell him l had played guard as
a freshman and explained how
important it was for 1ineman to
have good legs. He found this
amusing, chuckling over it. And
I guess, in retrospect, he had a
right to be amused.
The first job was to roof a new
house, a single-story one and not
too large. Charlie backed the
truck up close by the house. Then
he and two of the other Negroes

my departure on the Dixie Flyer.
1t came through around midnight
and Charlie insisted he would
bring the old truck out and take
me and my trunk down to the
station. He came about ten thir-
ty. My parents and were sitting
on the front porch, waiting. Char
lie was wearing neat, dark suit
of what certainly was not sum-
mer material He spoke to my
mother in an old-fashioned Ches-
terfieldian manner, and then he,
and I carried the trunk out and
into the truck. He waited there
while | went back and babe my
parents good-by.
I climbed into the familiar front
seat, with the old smell of tarred
composition roofing about it, and
we went to the station, saying
little. We checked the trunk and
then stood outside talking, since
the waiting rooms were segre-
gated. Mostly we recollected
amusing things about some of the
jobs and some of the near-acci-
dents.
The train came, backing in as
it did at Chattanooga old Union
Station, and it was time to go.
We walked over by the gates. I
looked at him and he at me. Sud-
denly he moved up and put his
arms around me and ] put mine
about him, feeling, with a sort of
shock, the hard thrust of the
hump on his back. Don't forget
me-, he said. ''rll never forget
you, Charlie" I said. "You are
one of the, finest men I've ever
known"
He stepped back, reached in his
inside coat pocket and took out
an envelope. r
Don't you open this till you
get on the train," he said, and
it's out of the station"
We shook hands, with the peo-
pie who. were waiting for arrivals
looking on curiously, and / turn
ed SO he wouldn't see my eyes
and walked hurriedly up the
train to my car.
When the train was out of the
station, I opened the envelope.
There was a folded five-dollar
bill and a scrawled note "For
my helper to spend at school," it
read. 1t was then / Wept.
I wrote Charlie and thanked
him, and later | wrote him about
making the first football squad.
I told him the legs were strong
from climbing ladders. My father
wrote me that Charlie read the
letters to his crew and made his
new helper, a young Negro, I'M
happy with stories of his college
helper.
During the Christmas holidays
l went to see him, disturbed to
hear he had been sick during
November with pneumonia but
had gone to work. He was bright
and gay and pleased with the
present I had brought. His wife
had baked a chocolate cake for
me.
In January I had a letter from

days later of second attack of

have thought l was fool talk
ing about working to strengthen
my legs. Late that day he said to
me, as started to climb, ''This
sorta thing will help yo' legs" /
looked down at him, but his face
was impressive. That night when
we came in, Charlie walked over
with me toward my father, who
was looking at us inquiringly.
''This young man." he said, she
is goin' to be good helper, yes
sir, a good one"
I think l was. I began to look
forward to the days and my ride
out to. the jobs beside Charlie.
We talked endlessly. At noon we
ate our packages of lunch togeth-
er. He talked to me about the
trade Of roofing as if he believed
l would follow it. He had a
strong, honest pride in his work
because he was expert at it.
The worst part of the work for
me was the tar and gravel roofs.
They meant pulling up huge
buckets of gravel and smaller
ones of pitch with block and rope.
The COOKER" a dirty monster
coated with glistening tar spilled
on it from past jobs, had to be
set up, fired and filled with
Jumps of tar cut from their con-
tanners.
The roof first had to be cover
ed with a composition material
which had feltlike texture and
smelled of tar. It came in rolls.
Once it was down, the whole
thing was covered with hot pitch,
spread with mops. In the worst
rags of old work shoes to be
found, our feet wrapped in sack
ing, we toiled like demons in the
smoke and heat, spreading the
hot pitch. There could be no de-
lay. Nor could the pitch be too
thin or too thick. Charlie,
hunched, black Mephistopheles
with his own mop, tarred and
sticky, was everywhere, directing
here, giving a spot there a need
ed touch. The gravel had to be
spread into the first coating of
still soft tar. And that, too, was
fast and demanding. And then
came another pouring and spread
ing of tar. 1t was furious, back
breaking, arn-wearing work,
and the heat was sometimes
dreadful. But none of us white
eyed, not even in August when
the thermometer was around
ninety-five in the shade.
BY midsummer I realized I had
become very fond of Charlie and
he of me, Neither Of us express
ed it, but we knew that each Of
us understood. Two or three
times when we were too late
getting in from some distant. job
to go into the shop, which would
be closed, Charlie took me to his
house. His wife was a large moth
erly woman who always had a
pitcher of iced tea and graham
crackers waiting. They had no
children. We'd sit on Charles
small front porch, with the sum-
mer dusk about US, and drink the
tea, grateful for the end Of the
day and the departing of the sun.
There were houses crowded close
on either, side, and their occu-
pants, too, were on the porches
seeking GOODNESS. 1t always seem
ed to me that Charlie talked
little louder than usual, to be
sure they would hear. He would
talk of the job, and he never fail
ed to brag nightly about me, de-
claring I was the best helper a
mar. could have. l had caught on
quick, he vowed, and could make
a good roofer if l wanted to. He
never mentioned my legs, after
the first day, and l was grateful
for that.

In recent release from my Congressman, William IA.

I'VE are deeply concerned with respect TO the tendency
of the U.S. Supreme Court oveUe state laws and TO enact

And under the heading: TIE SUPREME COURT OF THE

there should be vested the Supreme Court Of the United States
power legae power to dstort the plain language OF the
Constitution power interfere with matters of purely state

I'VE are seriously concerned the present tendency
of the Supreme Court TO egsae the acqueence of the Exc

TO yield certain of its legislative powers to the Supreme Court.
These attitudes destroy the system Of checks and balances which

Well suppose it's interesting sort OF. While know
nothing of the law and every and again have TO engage

nose out of it. But seems TO the Farm Bureau may have
missed minor point somewhere along the way If the

not have been necessary for the Supreme Court to override GER

though father were so 6ghting-mad
that he wanted to sue, there would be
almost no chance of haling the peddler
into court, and less chance of proving
damage. The parents only course is to
work with the Post Office Department.
Here is the first thing to do if your
own home is invaded by obscene mail:
Send the material, plus the envelope,
to your local postmaster. Write
letter Of complaint and state, if you
con, hoe your child's name might
hare got onto a mailing list. Might
he have sent away for perfectly inno-
cent item, such as an airplane model,
stamps, or a course in muscle building?
Mailing lists are gold to the 6lth-ped-
dler. He'll buy, borrow or steal them.
Argument for oefion
As a matter of fact, legitimate mail
ing-list brokers are very much worried
about this situation, and are co-operat-
ing fully with us in trying to keep lists
out of the photographers hands.
When your postmaster receives your
complaint, he will send it Immediately
to the Postal Inspection Service. Do
not hesitate to make complaint about
obscene matter merely because you
fear that it might reflect on your fam
lily. Most of the filth comes into the
home unsolicited. Your child is prob
ably not to blame - it is only by mis-
fortune that his name has fallen into
the grasp of the 6lth-peddlers. And if
you do not report to your postmaster.
the chances are that he'll be plagued
with all sorts of low mail-order rackets
for years to come.
