Mr.. McLaughlin's reelection

Commissioner in June, 1855, he

This was an allusion to the
fact that the length of his term
as Commissioner may depend on
whether the Democrats or the
Republicans capture the presi-

migratory workers and 512 tons
of freshly picked corn crashed
at the bottom of a steep hill
yesterday, killing two of the
workers and injuring eight, six
of them seriously.
State police tentatively iden-
titled the dead as Daniel
Fletcher. 81. and Londro Jeffer-
son, Al. both of Baltimore.
State Trooper Kenneth O.
McAllister said the truck Ca
reened out of control down
Maryland 67, slid on its side
across U. S. $40, went down a
small embankment and rolled
across three tracks of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad.
The trooper said the brakes
apparently failed.
Three of the men were in the
truck cab. The others were
sitting atop the 512 tons Of
corn which had just been
picked.
The accident happened about
noon at the little town of Wev-
erton in Washington County,

THERE WAS A TRAY ir

THERE WAS A TRAY in
side with grooved slots and
little compartments for the
contents, beautiful pencils,
already sharpened. The trade
name of Eberhardt- -Faber
comes to mind. There was a
ruler, and some of the elab-
crate boxes-they cost up to
so cents-contained a COM
pass. s
There was a little pencil
sharpener and a red and
gray rubber eraser-red for
pencil and gray for ink
erasers. There was a spen
holder and steel pen points
with both a blunt and round
point design. And there were
pen cleanerS-several small
squares of chamois bound to-
gether not much bigger
than postage stamps.
These were the pens with
which we were expected to
make the spiral ellipses of
the Palmer Free Hand
Method right across a lined
sheet of paper without blot
ting.
The old copybook method
in which copper plate ex-
amples of the letters ap-
peared at the top of the page
so they could be carefully
initiated on the lined space
below, was being abandoned,
The new method which be-
gan with making whorls and

down his throat to ease his

Consciousness Regained
He finally regained conscious
ness. He improved rapidly and
by midnight was in fair condi-
ton, DR.. Fuchs said.
DR.. Fuchs explained the near
tragedy this way: Mr.. Kahn
was suffering violent allergic
shock" brought on by a SUBJ
stance formed when the in
Sect's venom came in contact
with anti-bodies formed by a
previous sting. He compared
it to the violent reaction some
people suffer from a second
dose of penicillin.
The reaction is swift, DR..
Fuchs said, and in this. case
came even more quickly because
the insect thrust its stinger di-
rectly into vein.
In persons suffering from this
allergy, each succeeding sting
causes a more violent reaction,
he said. He will try to immu-
nize Mr.. Kahn to prevent a re-
currence, the doctor said.
He explained that the recent
combination of hot weather
and rain has stimulated in

Bee Sting FeIIs Man;
Fast Work Saves Life

A medical team worked fran
tically for two hours yesterday
/ to save a Chevy Chase Md
man near death from a bee
sting.
Joseph J. Kahn, 40. showed
no signs of life when brought
to Suburban Hospital after the
insect stung him on the wrist
about 4 pm. while he was
trimming bushes at his home,
1912 Shepherd street.
His family physician, DR..
Marvin Fuchs of 6912 Marbury
road, Bethesda, Md, said Mr..
Kahn showed no perceptible
pulse, heartbeat, breathing or
blood pressure. and was in "ex-
tremely critical" condition.
Mr.. Kahn, who had suffered
similar but less serious al
lergic reaction two years ago,
first tried to treat himself, but
then collapsed in his bathroom,
the physician said.
Heartbeat Detected
The Bethesda Chevy Chase
rescue squad, summoned by
Mrs. Kahn. rushed him to- SUBJ
urban. where doctors detected
a faint heartbeat with a cardio-
gram. But for that, DR.. Fuchs,
said. the doctors would have
had to open his chest and mas
sage his heart.
For two hours. DR.. Fuchs,
DR.. Robert G. Brewer of the
hospital staff, a nurse, two
technicianS and an intern
battled to save Mr.. Kahn.
He was given adrenalin.

IN THE OLD DAYS it
would have been unthinkable
to send the child back to the
primary grades without buy
ing him a pencil box.
Not that we had to be
bribed to go back to school,
we really welcomed it. After
10 weeks of vacation we were
getting a little tired of idle
ness and looked forward to
seeing boys from other Sec
tions of town. But we feigned
reluctance and loudly pro-
tested.
1t was the same in Shake
speare's day. There prob
ably was no validity in
Romeo's famous equation:
LoUe goes toWard loUe as
SchoolboyS from their
books,
But loUe from loUe, to-
WGrd school NTH heavy
looks.
1t was necessary to get
junior a new pencil box. Last
years had lost it's pencils, its
hinges and cover and prob
ably itself.
He made the selection with
his nose pressed against the
plate glass of the stationary
store as he studied the new
models.
They were beautifully
made, a triumph of the cab
inetmakers' skill. They were
of birch, solid wood-no
plywood or veneers. They
were dovetailed in at the
corners, the hinges were in
the inside and neatly coun-
tersunk.
They were lacquered and
polished to a high onyx or a
brilliant red finish. On the
cover was a scene of beauty,
the falls of Yosemite or the
Niagara or Minnehaha.

The
Rambler
-. Regrets Posing
Of the Pencil Box
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Idling in a chain drugstore
yesterday while a prescrip-
tion was being filled, The
Rambler examined the coun-
ter devoted to school sup
plies.
There have been some
changes in these hardy per-
ennials since his school days.
One change is that chill
dren will go back to school
this week carrying a non
leather imitation of the ex-
ecutive briefcase. Very con-
vincing ones which officers
would not hesitate to carry
into the Pentagon are on
sale for 50.
The little lunch boxes
with comic strip characters
on the cover, all contain
small thermos bottles. AL
though mothers will pack
them carefully, they won't
last long. The thermos will
be broken and the box itself
will. disappear after it has
been left at school a few
times. Then junior will be
back to brown paper sacks.
Ball point pens were priced
at Is cents to $3.50.
Unsharpened yellow pen
ellis with eraserS we're by the
dozen in cellophane display
cards.
But the most important
item of school supplies seems
to have gone by the board.
This was the pencil box.

SHOALLY INLET SITUATION
RESULTS in LOW WATER RUN
OF 14MILES TAKING 3 HOURS
Experimental Course S+aked Out by Engineer
Monday Tried tuesday; Short Run Continues
When Tidal Conditions Permit Relief Meas
ures May Be In Sight.

Ferry boats plying Oregon In
let's slfoally waters tried a new
run Tuesday morning, following
several days of badly disrupte'
service. Several hard northwestern,
winds have recently built the
shoals, blocking the regular chan
mel. Tuesdays experimental run
which has since been accomplishe'
several times, took better thar
three hours, and it is the observa
tion of some that this type o.
crossing offers little reward TO,
weary travellers.
The long run of some Ia miles
taking so much longer crossing
time, actually results in little saw
ing of time, because the trip j
made only at low water, the mos
difficult period lasting only three
or four hours. A normal run acros
this inlet between lower Nag
Head and the northen tip of Hat
teras Island takes 20 minutes.
District Highway Enginee
George Mack of Elizabeth Cit,
said, 81 wouldn't recommend it
a regular thing, but we will con
time to use the new route wher
we are forced to by low water.
Mack staked out the new course
Monday. 1t runs from the Bodie
Island landing out Old House chan
mel to the new Davis Channel in
Pamlico Sound and then back 10
the south landing on Hatteras Is
land a distance of about Ia miles
Mack said, The regular crossing
is two or two and a half miles.
The ferries have been plagued
by sand washed into their regular
crossing by recent northeast
storms and by the fact that tides
have been running lower than nor
mai recently There has been NO
regular way on or or Hatteras
to the north for nearly two weeks
Tuesday the boats ran of sche-
dule until 9:40 am. and resumed
the short route about ! pm. In
the meantime, one boat with II
vehicles aboard successfully ran
Mack's longer route.
"She bumped bottom two OF
three times" Mack said, "and if
the tides get any lower we'n have
to abandon the long route, too"
Wednesday regular schedules
were maintained until $3.50 and re-
s,Hned in the afternoon.
A survey team has been on the
scene this week studying the sit.
uation, and highway officials have
been considering dredging the
shoally areas, but no definite
course has been announced.

Wldfowl and shore birds have
been one of the biggest attractions
for tourists visiting Cape Hatteras
Medicinal Seashore recently. Easiest
to reach area where the fowl may
be seen without difficulty is Bodie
Island in lower Mays Head.
Rarest and most unusual wild
fowl at present are some 5000 or
more Greater America Snow Geese.
These fowl which spend the winters
at Pea Island National Wildlife
Refuge or in the Bodie Island flats
have started their northward ni-
gratory flights. much later this
years than usual.
Noticeable too in the National
Seaahore region at this season are
the purple grackle, redwing. black

and heron. Many of these birds re-
main here the year around but
most are migratory and will be
