"Iron Horse" Of
Baseball Dead
Sew York, June 2?Lou Gehrig,
great 11 rat baseman of the New York
Yankees for 14 years, died tonight
after (wo years illness of a rare dist.aSo
that everyone except he himself
bslieved incurable.
The "Iron Horse" of baseball, Who
WUul(l have beeu 38 years old Juno
1?>, passed away at his home In the
presence of his wife after a critical
spun of only three weeks. He did not
]os0 consciousness until Just before
death at 9:10 p. m. (EST).
The disease which erased Gehrig
from the lineup of the mighty
Yankees on May 2, 1939 was diagnosed
as "amyothropio lateral sclerosis",
u hardening of the spinal cord which
> caused muscles to shrivel. *
Ho wasted away sharply in the
final weeks and was reported 25
pounds underweight and barely able
to speak shortly before he died.
Ho had served for a year and a half
as a member of the New York City
parole commission and visited his
office regularly until about a month
ago, when he decided to remain at
home to conserve his energy. .
In his playing days Gehrig was one
of baseball's greatest stars, but was
most famous for his great physical
feat in playing 2,130 consecutive reglarly
scheduled American league
gam08 in 14 years.
He twice was chosen the most valuable
player In the league and over
a yea* ago was voted a place hvbaseball's
Hall of Fame, Joining a score of
the game's immortals.
He participated in 34 world series
games and piled up numerous batting
records of various kinds.
Throngh all the years Gehrig was
known for his clean habits and affable
disposition and these factors made
him one of baseball's best beloved
players. - ?
They also helped him stand off the
ravages of his diseases after others
had given up hope.
Gehrig refused to believe that hi*
disease was incurable and as long a*
possible maintained a normal routine.

Auto Vacuum Aids Anglers
To many the call of the open road also means the call of the open water.
The automobile and good roads have brought thousands of beautiful lakes
and streams within reach of the vacationist or the week-ender. Fishing seasons
throughout the country are opening, and these young people were among the
first to seek their favorite stream. They carry their own boat, lashed to the
top of their Chevrolet, and held securely with a new vacuum-grip holding
device actuated by vacuum power from the motor. Note the tube connecting

KUDZU A3 A GRAZING CROP
The present extended dry spell has
caused practically all permanent pastures
to fail. Many of them even on
comparatively low and usually damp
areas are covered with badly parched
grass and are furnishing very little
grazing. Warren Duncan, Work Unit
Technician, states, "Several farmers
have stated that unless the (drought
is broken at an early date they will
be forced to feed cattle that would
ordinarily be supported by the pasture
alone."
Since kudzu Is a deep rooted plant
and produces a heavy moisture-conserving
mulch, established stands of
it are affected very little by extended
dry spells, even on sandy or badly
eroded soil. This plant furnishes an
abundance of high quality succulent
grazing. If not needed for grazing,
the kudzu can be cut for hay. Yields
of two tons of cured hay per acre are
often secured from a good stand of
this perennial on real relatively poor
land even when little or no fertilizer
is used.
Any farmer would be making a
sound investment to establish an
acreage of kudzu great enough to
meet the hay and emergency grazing
requirements of his farm.
For information as to how the
Lynches River Soil Conservation District
can help you establish kudzu,
contact Warren Duncan, Work Unit
Technician, or W. C. McCarley, county
agent.
American Youth Hostel
Founded by Two Tcachera
In December, 1934, two American V
school teachers and scout leaders?
Isabel and Monroe Smith?founded
in their home town of Northftcld, F
Mass., the first American Youth
hostel. Borpwed from un idea
widely developed in Europe, it was
a recreational venture whereby the
American people could investigate
their own country at little cost, by J<
bicycling, hiking, horseback riding a
or sinking over carefully selected g
trails. u
Last week, American Youth IIos t
tels, Inc., was beginning Its sixth ^
spring and summer season of operation.
As it did so, statistics were
produced to show how widely the 1
movement had spread. 1
In 193S, the first full year of operation,
there were only 35 hostels, all in
New England. In 1939, thete ,
were 209, in all sections of the coun- (
try. In 1935, only 1,750 AYH passes t
were issued: last year, 11,140.
The "hostel" itself Is a place
where the sightseers are permitted 1
to stay overnight by showing their 1
AYH pass (cost: $1 for those under i
21, $2 for adults) and by paying 25 t
cents each, plus five cents or ten ,
cents for fuel. Chartered by AYH, t
Inc., the hostels may be school dor- ^
mitories, barns, farm homes, or
country churches, and are usually 1
spaced 15 or 20 miles apart. Separate
sleeping rooms are provided
for girls and boys. In each hostel j
there is a "houseparent" to super- ]
vise the activities of the hostelers. |
Today, there are loops of hostels i
in nine regions of the United States; ,
in the New England region alone
there are 73 stopping places. Hostelers,
who can be anyone from "4 1
to 94," can travel over one of these i
trails (marked by white triangles) ,
or all of them, at a total cost of
about $1 a day. Bunks, mattresses,
blankets and heavy cooking equipment
are furnished by the hostels.
The hostelers furnish their own
sleeping sacks and eating utensils,
cook "their own meals, make their >
own beds and wash their own dishes
before they depart. ?? ;.v
AYH, Inc., also sponsors hostel
trips abroad. In 1939, the number
i of American youth hostelers who
1 traveled abroad totaled i.fctft.

i Operations Necessary
For Making Lowly Pin
Here is how the ordinary pin is y
made. A stiff pin-wire is drawn
into a machine from a large hank
1 and the first operation takes all the
kinks and twists out of the thin
wire,, after which a head is struck
on the end by a header which strikes
a series of rapid blows. After the
head is formed the wire is cut to
the desired length and a series of
files points the Other end.
After the pins come from the machine,
they are placed in a revolving
barrel filled with sawdust where all j
oil is absorbed and the pin emerges
clean and bright. They are next '
put in a blower where the remaining 1
sawdust- is removed, after which l
they go into a huge boiler. They i
are boiled for live or six hours in a
copper boiler, containing layers of j
tin, in a solution of argol or bitartrate
of potash. This leaves them .
with a covering of tin, and gives \
them a bright shiny appearance.
Again they are cleaned, washed
and dried and are ready for the '
sticking room where they are put 1
in paper folders. 1

Much Sweets .Produces Decay ,
Sugar is a potent dietary factor (
in the production of decay in teeth,
Dr. Philip Jay, research associate (
professor of oral pathology at the j
University of Michigan, told a group
of dentists recently. i
Reporting on experiments conducted
at an orphanage, Dri Jay said
that evidence was found to indicate (
dental decay is a manifestation of .
malnutrition. "It may be prevent- (
ed by feeding adequate diets, or
sweets definitely restricted," he ]
said. 1
Decay activity was increased in I
children, his report disclosed, solely i
by raising the sugar intake while <
they were receiving a diet ef opti- ,
mum nutritional adequacy. f
Million Trees for Protection '
Land wasted either through ero- 1
skm or intensive cultivations will be <
rehabilitated in the Dust Bowl re*
gkm, if plans of the government are successful.
The government is 1
planting 1,300,000 trees and shrubs j
as pest of its drive. Already 7,500 fl
acres of farm land have been plant- d
ed as protective windbreakers since
the program started in 1935. Essen- r
tial for the successful growth of the *
trees, a government official stated, a
is careful preparation of the tree l<
site,?supply of additional water o
through diversions, frequent cultiva- <j
tion and protection from damage by b
live stock and rabbits.
B
Glassware Better Today 9
Glass was more precious than r
gold in the days of ahcient Rome b
but the more than 7,000,000 glass con- b
tainers sent to market in the United d
States every year?which are today .
as common as paper bags and economical
to use?are a far better v
quality, lighter and more durable man
the priceless glass objects of
the ancients due to modern American
manufacturing procaines.

18 THERE NO HUMAN WAY TO
AVOID 8TRIKE8?
?To me the' word "s-t-r-i-k-e" has
become the meanest, ugliest, dirtiest
and most despicable word In the English
language. I hate to see it. It
upsets my equlnlmlty. Every time I
pick up a newspaper almost the first
Items that appear to my vision are:
"West Coast shipping is tied up by
a strike.... Six airplane plants stage
a walk-out... .The billion-dollar defense
shipbuilding program halted by
strikes", .^.and it's _ strike, strike,
everywhere. (Old Joe of Russia
knows his business).
?The publio knows that at least 99
percent of the workers of America
are loyal, law-abiding citizens.... and
they would like to work if the Communistic
racketeers would let them.
Less than 100 men can tie up a 50
million dollar Industry. These few
eaders don't care anything about the
workers or their country. As a mat:er
of fact.... they want to tear
lown, destroy, disturb, binder, and
Hate. They are not real people:
They are a kind of wild animal that
must have its way.
?We can't fight a war with such con*
lltion8 surrounding us, and we can't
?et ready to defend our country with
he mania for striking running rampant
in every manufacturing center. ? -rLess
than 600 men in the United
States are causing all of our trouble
ind worry. What to do with them
>r what to do about the situation is
i big question. We are a democracy,
:hat is?we still think we are. But
it'a a great pity that a democracy
isn't deal with these heinous, hateul
disgusting pitiful, heart-rending
circumstances that have engulfed us.
-It should not be. much of a task io
ceep labor satisfied, but It Is an impossible
thing to keep labor leaders
altefied. They enjoy a riot. They
lelight in bringing about a cause for
aurder, hunger and suffering. They
re not usually Americans. If they
re native-born, they have been misf>d
by foreign elements, or bought
ver with money sent In or grafted as
oes. . ..such dues, in many cases,
elng forced upon over 76 percent of
he workers. I wish I might never
ee the word "strike" in print again,
r even hoar it mentioned. Strikes
epresent the rot and poison spots
i our civilisation... .and they have
ecome a stench in the nostrils of
ecent, law-abiding people. After all
k said and done. Hitler might not (at
resent) be our worst enemy. .
