Fanner Finds Blower
Effective Hay Dryer
Mounted on Cart, It's

Easy
. Wet springs and early frosts
aren’t the headaches they once
were to a growing number of farm
ers. For they have discovered that
, immature grain can be cured just
»s effectively in storage buildings
as in the field.
The average farmer will find that
mechanical drying of hay and grain
Is not as expensive as it would ap
pear. Hay and grain saved will soon
pay for equipment.
Equipment for mechanical dry
ing of grain is simple, and present
farm structures can be converted
•asily, quickly and inexpensively
to handle this newest of farm pro
duction chores. Farmers, who
have hay curing equipment, will

can be used for both drying grain
and finishing forage crops.
The accompanying illustration
shows what can be done in the way
of Inter-changing hay curing and
grain drying equipment. When the
hay curing season is over, this
farmer mounts his fan and motor
<m a cart and hauls them to a crib
where they are put to use blowing
moisture out of his immature corn.
An outlet, into which he plugs his
five-horsepower motor, is located
in an adjacent building.
When double cribs are used, as
In the case shown, the air blast
enters through one end of the
driveway. The opposite end is
sealed up, and heavy paper placed
on walls of the crib from the peak
of the roof to the top of the corn
layer. Openings around the fan
and in the floor also are closed. In
single cribs, wooden ducts or “A”
frames are layed down the center
of the floor and the air blown di
rectly into them.
Drying is successful without sup
plementary heat when the temper
ature is 60 or above and the rela
tive humidity 65 per cent or be
low. If heat is used, buildings
should be insulated and properly
ventilated. Warm air is blown into
storage sheds by motor driven
fans. Thermostats and other con
trols automatically keep the tem
perature and the flow of air at
efficient drying levels.

Ghosts Haven't Ghost of a Chance in Manhattan
But This Haunting Story Gave New Yorkers Pause
By BILLY ROSE
We men of Manhattan are an undaunted and unhaunted lot—
or at least think we are—and so ghost stories seldom stand a ghost
of a chance in this town.
The other night, however, a real estate man buttonholed me coming
out of “21” and told me a chiller about a deserted house in the Flushing
section of Queens, and on the off-chance that your scalp can use a
tingle or two, I’d like to pass it along ....
On the night of the big snow three
Billy Bose
winters ago, a doctor in Queens an
swered his doorbell and found a
smallish man in a
faded mackinaw
standing on the
stoop.
“My wife is very
sick,” he said. *T
hate to ask you to
come out on a night
like this, but it’s
only a few blocks.”
The doctor fol
lowed him to a
large wooden house
near the intersec
tion of Vine street and Broadway,
and when the man unlocked the
door the physician could see by the
glare of an unshaded droplight that
the lower floor was empty except
for a few kitchen chairs and a
length of carpet.
“THIS IS NO PLACE for a sick
woman,” he said. “You ought to
have some heat in the house.”
The man led him up a creaky
set of ttairs to the second floor,
and in the front room an emac
iated woman was lying in an old
four-poster bed. She kept cough
ing into a blood-flecked handker
chief, and though the doctor went
through the motions of an ex
amination he knew at once it was
an advanced case of tuberculosis.
“I can give her something to re
lieve the congestion,” he told her
husband, “but she’ll have to be
moved to a hospital first thing in
the morning.”
He then wrote out a prescription.
“I’ll get it filled right away,” said
the man, and showed the doctor to
the door.
Next morning, wondering how
the woman was getting along, the
physician stopped by the wooden
house, but there was no answer
when he rang the bell. Moreover,
there were rio tracks in the snow
to indicate that an ambulance or
any other vehicle had pulled lip in
front of the place.
Puzzled, he went to the office of
a real estate agent on the next
street and asked if he could get
some information about the resi
dents of the house.
0 0 0
“THAT’S A FUNNY sort of ques
tion,” said the agent. “There aren’t
any residents and there aren’t like
ly to be any. The house hasn’t been
occupied in 15 years, and though
it’s always been on my list, no
body’s ever wanted it.”
“Do you think squatters might be
living in it on account of the hous
ing shortage?” asked the doctor.
“Could be., but I doubt it,” said
the agent. “There’s been a lot of
queer talk about that house, and the
last family that moved in during
the depression could only stand it
for a few weeks. The husband and
wife slept in the front room on the
second floor, and to hear them tell
it they were kept awake night after
night by the sound of a woman
coughing. It finally got so bad they
packed and left.”
“I know its sounds absurd,” said
the doctor, “but I examined a sick
woman there last night, and if
you’ve got a key I’ll walk over with
you and prove it.”
•
When they got to the bouse,
it took the agent quite a while to
get the rusty loch open, and when
they entered there wasn’t a stick
of furniture in sight. "I could
have sworn I saw some chairs
and a carpet down here Ukst
night,” said the doctor,
“Maybe you've got this house
mixed up with another one,” the
agent suggested.
“I still think it’s the same place..
Let’s look upstairs.”
On the second floor they went into
the front room. It was also empty.
Empty, that is, except for' a piece
of paper on the window sill—the
prescription the doctor had written
the night before.

W ILLIAM HOLDEN made quite
a record in 1949—he did five
pictures at four studios; this year
promises to be equally busy. His
role in “Sunset Boulevard” is one
of his favorites, though he had to
figure a bit over just what to do
after Gloria Swanson shot him.
That very effective bit of acting
came after long stud^ of the
WILLIAM HOLDEN
tharacter he was playing. His per
formance is really tops. In private
life his severest critic is his daugh
ter Virginia, who reads all his
scripts; of this one she said, “Why
do you play such heels?” His
young sons walked out on a recent
picture of his to look at an old
Western on television.
Gloria Swanson, after her sensa-
tibnal come-back in “Sunset Boule
vard,” plans to star in another
picture, which she will co-produce
with William Dieterle. She has
plans to make it in Istanbul, with
partial Turkish financing. *The
story sounds perfect for her—it’s
about a’woman who is in love with
a man younger than she, who can
not save her from death.
Rhonda Fleming, star of “The
Eagle and the Hawk,” is fea
tured in the June issue of Holi
day magazine in a color por
trait shot at Malibu; she was
chosen as “being typical of the
1950 feminine figure in a bath
ing suit.”
Walt Disney studied the appear
ances and careers of notorious pir
ates of history before camera work
started on “Treasure Island.” The
famous Blackbeard, the ruthless
Israel Hands and dthers appear as
Stevenson characters.
Fred Uttal, anouncer on “Mr.
District Attorney,” has two boys,
Bro and Lyn, aged 2 and 1 re
spectively. He says that if he and
his wife has a third one he’ll call
it Ook—“Put them all together and
they spell Brooklyn.”
Lew Ayres began his career as a
dance band singer, but in his years
in pictures he’s done everything
but sing. At last, in RKO’s “The
Capture,” he’s a singing cowboy—
has bne scene where he plucks a
guitar and sings “Git Along Little
Dogie.” But Ayres ran into diffi
culty; he has a true ear, and had
to practise bard to learn to sing
off-key.
Melville Cooper and Elsa Lan-
chester were a vaudeville team 25

CORNER
By Richard H. Wilkinson
T>ART HODGES had lived in the
city for two years and was
getting tired of it. Countrj^bred,
he longed for the smell of sweet,
fresh air, the sound of roosters
crowing and
cows lowing.
H e wanted to
go to bed to the
tune of crickets
cheeping and
bullfrogs jug-a-rumming.
It wasn’t as if the city hadn’t
been kind to Bert. It had. It had
taken him to its bosom, and he had
prospered. Nor had he been un
happy. He loved the lights, the
noise, the hustle and bustle. And
most of all he loved a girl.
Tonight, lying on the divan In
the living room of his apartment,
Bart was troubled with an annoy
ing thought. He wondered, strange
ly, which he wanted most: Sabina’s
love or the country.
It was at this particular moijaent
in Bart’s speculation that the tele
phone rang. A strangely familiar
feminine voice answered.
“Hello, there. Bar t,” the
voice said. “This is Sadie
Blake, fresh in from the old
home town. Come down and
talk to one of your forgotten
friends.”
Bart’s pulse leaped. Sadie! His
boyhood pal! Sadie, whom one day
he expected to marry! Sadie, in
the city. Here! Now! Fresh from
Centerville, with news and notes
of the old home town galore. ‘
At that moment Sabina Good-
now was forgotten. There was just
one girl in the world for Bart. And
that girl was Sadie Blake. He felt
suddenly ashamed he had neglect
ed to write, to remember her at
Christmas . . .

with good health and freshness.
Her name was Sabina Good-
now, and she adored him.

“Hello, pal," she cried. “Look
ing just the same. Thinner, may
be. But otherwise old Bart him
self.”
“Sadie!” Bob stared in open
admiration. “Sadie! How good
it is to see yon. Tell me, how
are things in Centerville? How
are the folks? Tell me every
thing.”
“Same old town, Bart. Your
folks are fine. Your dad owns a
new tractor. Polly, the horse, died,
you know. But I suppose they
\frrote you that. The voters decided
to run town water up to William’s
Hill at the last town meeting. Not
s* much danger if fire breaks out

Evans’ wife. She came back two
weeks ago, and Bob took her in.

T HEY TALKED for hours. By
evening Bart was fully ap
praised of all the events and hap
penings in Centerville during the
past two years, and assured that
his folks were welL
He took Sadie out to dinner, and
delighted in showing her around.
She seemed a little awed by it all,
and more awed by Barfs indiffer
ence to the many wonders.
“You get used to it after a
while,” he said indifferently, and
stood gazing thoughtfully at the
many lights along Broadway. He
felt enlightened and no longer
homesick. Strangely enough the
noise and bustle associated them
selves in his mind with Sabina. He
was glad to be a part of it alL
He gazed furtively at the comely
Sadie and pictured her in the rural
setting of Centerville.
They attended a theater and
dined afterward at an exclusive
night club. Sadie would have liked
to go back to her hotel, but she
wanted to please Bart.
“Bart,” she said, when at
last they stood outside the door
to her room. “When are yon
coming home? When are yon
going to give up all this and
come back where yon belong?”
Bart looked down into her eyes
and saw something that two years
ago he had longed to witness. He
sighed deeply.
“Sadie, it’s been just great see
ing you. Just what I needed. A sort
of tonic.” He smiled at her gently.'
“I’m not going back just yet, Sa
die. There’s something keeping
me here, something that before I
never knew existed. I know now
that it’s something greater than—
anything. Some time I’m coming

This Is
Your Paper
Those 'Changed'
News Items
By William R. Nelson
**tI?HENEVER I bring in a news
item, why do you always
change it all around?”
That questibn is one of the most
frequently asked in every home
town newspaper office in the coun
try. Sometimes it is asked in con
siderable exasperatioft.
The_ answer is, of course, that
news stories are easier to read,
better understood, take less space,
when they are written to conform
to aseomewhat flexible pattern. That
style, developed over the years, is
fairly uniform in all newspapers
because it was designed to evaluate
the, facts for their news value and
tell them quickly and clearly.
A well writ-
'Lead* ten, straight
Is news story pre-
Inclusive sents its out
standing infor
mation in the opening paragraph,
or lead. What follows after that is
amplification, additional details.
There are excellent reasons why
news story style is best, among
them: (1) The reader can quickly
read the lead, and quit there if the
story fails to interest him or her.
(2) It permits cutting or reducing
the length of a story, to get it into
a particular place in the paper, by
eliminating from the bottom. As
these bottom paragraphs contain
less important details, their re
moval will not seriously reduce the
information the story is conveying.
The editor tries to pack his pa
per with as much news as he can
get, written in clear, readable style,
and arranged to give the paper a<
varied and attractive appearance.
Yet he cannot prepare the entire
content of an issue in an hour or a
day.
Because writ-
Written I n g,, editing,
to Fit setting type.
The Space putting the type
in the page
forms, and printing, addressing and
delivering take time, they must
start early enough to conclude at
a specified time each issue. If news
stories are not written so they can
be made to fit the space assigned
to them, much time will be lost and
the paper will contain fewer stories
and be less interesting.
The editor is a specialist whose
stock-in-trade is an understanding
of what interests people. He wel
comes news and does his best to
present it in accurate, readable, in
teresting form.
Next time you bring in a news
item, and it is “changed all
around”, remember that it was re
written into news style to help you
make it of ^interest to the greatest
possible number of readers.

^^ Movies Failure
As Propaganda
By Lawrence Gould
Do movies affect public opinion?
Answer: Very little believes
Dr. James E. Hulett, Jr., Univer
sity of Illinois psychologist and
public opinion expert. Question
naires and interviews before, dur
ing, and after the run of a propa
ganda-entertainment picture in a
local theatre showed it was “un
expectedly ineffective” in influ
encing popular judgments. Apart
from the film’s imperfections. Dr.
Hulett feels “most people do not
attribute accuracy and serious
ness of purpose, to films shown
commercially.” I suspect that
films not meant as propaganda
may be more effective.
Should you “make yourself at
'aome” with married children?
Answer: You may hope to be a
velcome guest in their homes, but
jnless you live with them, you
should never forget that you ARE
a guest and not “one of the fapa-
ily.” To assume the right to drop
in uninvited tor a meal, for in
stance, is to show lack of consid
eration for a person who is, after
all, your hostess, even though sha
is your daughter or your son’s
wife. It’s the rightful privilege of
every married^ couple to be master
and mistress 'in their own home,
and the more fully you recognize
this, the more they’ll enjoy your
visits.
&
Are some “inner conflicts”
- unavoidable? ✓
fa '
Answer: In their primary form.
Yes. From his first day In school,
for example, a child’s wish to
have the other children like him
conflicts with his wish to have his
own way and boss everyone around.
And this conflict between “social
will” and “self-will” can’t be
settled by allowing either one to
crush the other since both are imr
perishable parts of human nature.
The nearest to peace of mind y
can come is by compromising, or,
through ffndjng where our wishes
coincide with those of others, man
aging to gratify both urges at
once.

B KEEPING HEALTHY
Brain Stroke and Blood Pressure
B ECAUSE so many middle-aged
and elderly men and women
die of heart stroke (coronary
thrombosis), we do not read or
hear so much about brain stroke
(apoplexy), which, like heart
stroke, may cause death on first
attack, or may consist of several
strokes.
The first or following strokes
may cause paralysis of limbs or
other parts of the body. Both brain
and heart strokes are caused in
the great majority of cases by
high blood pressure and the break
ing down or clogging of a blood
vessel supplying the part.
In “The American Heart Jour
nal,” Drs. S. P. Hicks and B. K.
Black report their study on the
role of the failure of heart and
blood vessels to do their work
properly, thus causing apoplexy.
There were 155 cases of apoplexy
confirmed by examination after
death in 99 men and 56 women.
It was found that high blood
pressure (hypertension) was pres
ent in nearly 90 per cent of the pa-
By Dr. James W. Barton
tients. Now having high blood
pressure does not mean that you
are bound to have a brain stroke
or a heart stroke. Thousands of
men and women with high blood
pressure live and enjoy good health
year in and year out. In the care
of the family physician, they per
haps never think of their Illness.
From time to time the physician
examines their blood pressure, and
aside from some advice as to diet
and rest and occasionally a quiet
ing drug, no treatment is necessary
to prevent a brain or heart stroke.
In the study of the 155 cases of
apoplexy, Drs. Hicks and Black
report that a spasm, probably due
to some emotional disturbance, ap
peared to be an important factor
in most cases, while the high blood
pressure, aside from spasm, was
responsible for just a few of the
deaths. x ,
The lesson is plain for those with
high blood pressure. By keeping
the mind at rest, by help of re
ligion or philosphy of life, a brain
stroke may be prevented.
Unfortunately the causes of
some forms of heart disease are
not known, and it is research on
these diseases that requires so
much money, if they are to be pre
vented and controlled. •

'every other day in summer. Do
not stand bread boxes near heat
units in the kitchen, such as

and clothes dryers. On the other
hand a cold pantry will cause the
bread to stale faster. Bread boxes
should not be too airy unless the
