Calif.-A re tired, real estate man is the first -person ever to climb the 67 highest peaks in the United States. He is John D. Graham, an athlet ic 53, who claimed the record after scaling North Palisade peak in California, and Grizzly peak in Colorado in a one-week expedition. His goal for 15 years. Graham said in an interview, has beer to conquer every U.S. mountain high er than 14.000 feet. He listed 67 such pinnacles. The World Almanac lists • only 62. He has clambered up all 14.000 footers in Colorado, California and Washington. Graham said, the only states In which the giants are lo- icated.

It was small, but the experience was a challenge. “It gave me an unusual feeling to be able to see such great distances and such inspiring scenery,’’ he said. Originally from New York city.

He said that while he lived j- Colorado Springs and Den ver before World War II he became the eighth person to climb all 52 of the 14,000 foot peaks in that state. “Mountain climbing finally gets to be a competition and a chal lenge.” he said. “It’s the same feel ing of accomplishment you notice •after a good score in golf.

When the vineyard brought forth wild grapes, the owner ceased his care and it went to waste. After gaining the people’s atten tion, Isaiah applied the story of the vineyard to the life of Judah. The nation was going to waste. The forming of vast estates at the ex pense fo the common people would bring disaster to the greedy owm- ers. The mighty would be humbled. Social injustice would bring ruin to those who perpetrated it. ■ A terrible sin of the time was in dulgence in strong drink. The con dition of Judah may remind us of the condition in -our own country. The roadhouses, night clubs, cock tail lounges, and liquor stores are filled wuth men and women who are like unto those in Judah who tarried late into the night till wine inflamed them.

Watch Footings Russians Claim It Was • They Who Invented Tank MOSCOW.—The Russians were at it again—claiming discoveries made by other countries. This time Pravda, official publication of the Soviet government, claimed the Russians invented the military tank a year and a half before the fight ing machine appeared in Britain. Not only that, was the claim, but Russians now have created tanks that have no equal anywhere in the v.( rid. The articles were published as the Soviet Union celebrated “tank cay As a further observance of the day, all papers published large portraits of Prime Minister Stalin and the text of an order of the day by Alexander M. Vasilevsky, armed forces minister. This order de manded new successes in the de velopment of armored and mechan ized armies. The article in Pravda. the Com munist party s organ, was written by Semyon Ilyich Bogdanov, mar shal of armed forces. It said: , i he facts show that the first tank designs appeared in Russia considerably earlier than 1 people started to work on these questions abroad, and the first models of Russian built tanks were con structed a year and a half earlier than similar machines appeared in Britain.’’ He said the date the first tank was made in Russia was May, 19!5. FOUNDATION UNDERMINED. NO FOOTING that made Buick Famous Ballroom Hula Requires No Grass Skirt Routine CHICAGO. ILL.—In the first place, a ballroom hula doesn’t re quire a grass skirt, yet, to be a big bey on a ballroom floor these days, one has to know how to do the hula. The Chicago national dancing master’s association is au thority for the statement. Despite its name, the association is composed of hundreds of dancing instructors from all over the United States and Canada. All of them are practicing what they call the "ballroom hula” so they can teach it to their custom ers. They don’t say you have to wear a grass skirt to do it, but even in a nice, conservative suit, undulating hips are going to look odd if they are undulated hv, say a businessman who has eaten net wisely, but too well—and whose contours show it. Howard Turner, of Tulsa, Okla savs iitterbugging must still b P contended with, only they are cal' ing it “swing” again. Ballroom devotees might as well be on the lookout for, the “shuffle- board shuffle.” the dancing maes- tros say, but none had the courage to explain just what it is. Farmers should always be on the alert to the danger of run off water washing away foot ings under foundations, partic ularly on outbuildings where such caution, norniatH\ might not be exercised. When run off water washes away footings under foundations, the building settles. I F you want to know what’s “the newest thing” in automobile engines, look at the Buick engine pictured here, and you’ll see the words “valve-in-head.” need for maximum power from every drop of fuel—and every maker of internal combustion air plane engines adopted the valve* in-head principle. Reduced Grain Growing Brings Seed Hold Need Prospects of reduced grain-grow ing, ijiduding corn and wheat in 1950 and following years should cause farmers to consider saving more grass and clover seed, says a statement from the college of agriculture, University of Kentuc- i ky. The seed, it was pointed out, will be needed for the sod crops that are to take the place of grain. The bureau of plant industry at Washington says that grain reduc tion will mean at least 25 per cent more grass and hay. Barren Land Reclaimable With Fertilizer, Know-how Under proper management, worn- out land can be converted into grass legume pasture capable of carrying one cow and a calf to each one and one-half to two acres. | Three acres of good permanent and supplementary pasture will carry a cow and calf through the year. Principal requirements are fertili zer, willingness to grow something beside the immediate money crops ind a knowledge of livestock. But it happens that this isn’t new with Buick. As a matter of fact, the valve-in-head engine was in vented back in 1902—U.S. Patent No. 771095 —and immediately, Buick adopted the principle, w hich became the first in a long string of “Buick firsts.” Not everyone went for the idea- then. In spite of the fact that this engine “breathes” more freely — gets fuel in and exhaust gases out more easily — others hung onto their pet ideas. Then came the airplane, with its And more recently—with the hope that higher-octane fuels will be come available —a lot of automo tive engine designers are taking a new look at the valve-in-head idea. ratios as fast as better fuels came along. So perhaps you’ll want to re member, when you hear the term “valve-in-head,” that this is the type of power that made Buick famous. If others want to climb on the bandwagon, we say “more power to them”—and no pun is intended. B ut just for the record, we’d like to point out that Buick got there first. And ever since, Buick has gone steadily ahead, building up a name as “valve-in-headquarters.” Buick engineers reshaped pistons to put Fireball wallop in these engines. They stepped up compression But Buick has been doing more with valve-in-head right from the start. And —we might add —it stands to reason that Buick is not through making this type of engine better and better. MO*£ CICAXLY THAN £Y£R ! ' . .
