The Newberry Sun
By Ted Kesting
Vibrations caused by fast run
ning water, waterfalls or traffic
on a road, carry much farther in
the ground than they do through
the air. Sound, which is soon
cushioned by the action of the
air, is often detected through
ground vibrations. This natural
telephone is explained by W. H.
G. Johnson, outdoor writer.
Sometimes you wish to know
whether you are approaching a
rapid stream, railroad or high
way. You can detect these sev
eral miles away if you stick a
knife firmly in a tree and hold
the solid handle to your ear.
Another method is hold the blade
of the knife in your teeth. This
often gives the best results, but
care should be taken not to cush
ion the vibrations by touching
the blade with your lips.
It is the fact that the sound
reaches one ear a fraction of a
second sooner than it reaches the
other that gives a person a sense
of sound direction. Listening to
the ground vibrations is like list
ening in a telephone receiver. It
is clear, but not directional.
By testing occasionally, you
can tell whether you are drawing
away from the object to which
you are listening or approaching
it, by the strength of the vibra
tions. You will also know wher
Farm Training
Unhampered
Veterans in institutional farm
training under the G. I. Bill will
continue to receive full subsist
ence, subject to legal limitations,
it was reported today by Edward
B. Turner, manager of the Veter
ans Administration regional of
fice in Columbia.
These limitations provide that
total earnings, plus subsistence
payments, may not exceed $175
per month for veteran trainees
without dependents ,or $200 per
month for veteran trainees with
dependents.
Trainees in the farm program
receive regularly scheduled
classroom instruction while en
gaged in operating a farm. The
classroom instructor visits the
farm of each trainee regularly to
inspect the progress of practical
farm work.
Payment of subsistence under
the farm training program had
been jeopardized because the ac
tual numbers of hours spent in
the classroom is less than that re
quired for full subsistence. A
new law excepts farm training
from the usual classroom time re
quirements by giving credit for
supervised work done on the
job.
In South Carolina, 7,340 veter
ans are participating in the farm
training program.

you are travelling parallel to th
sound, because the vibrations will
be constant in strength.
Placing your ear against a
rock sometimes gives good re
sults, but a well-rooted tree car
ries the vibrations excellently.
Always drive the knife blade in
to solid wood and choose a tree
that does not have a heavy lay
er of bark on it. The bark has a
tendency to cushion the sound
and the blade does not penetrate
into enough solid wood on a large
tree. A sapling is not rooted deep
ly enough to give results, so you
will have to select your listening
tree with the experience of a few
tests.
Often the movements of any
quantity of large game can be
detected by a listening tree, long
before the animals can be heard.
Try listening in on this natural
telephone and you will be sur
prised at how much goes on
around you that you never hear.

Fire Prevention
Week Proclaimed
The week of October 5-11 has
been designated as Fire Prevention
Week by President Truman. His
proclamation setting aside that
week as a period to emphasize fire
prevention comes at a time when
fire losses in this nation are
heavy. This is shown by the fact
that the President’s conference on
fire prevention reported 10,000
Americans were burned to death,
and property valued at $562,000,-
000 was destroyed by fire last
year.
The National Fire Protection As
sociation s ays: “A preventable fire
breaks out somewhere in the na
tion every 20 seconds. By the
time the sun sets today, over 1600
building fires will have killed 28
Americans, destroyed nearly 1000
homes, 140 stores, 80 factories, six
churches, six schools, five theaters,
three hospitals, and so on. Direct
ly or indirectly, every American
is affected by these fire losses. Of
the more than 10,000 lives lost last
year, 3500 were farm folks and the
farm property loss was about $85,-
000,000.”
