Farm Safety Week
Observance in July
Fifteen Simple Rules
Of Safety Outlined
National Farm Safety Week will
be observed in the United States
during the week of July 23-29.
The annual losses represented by
farm accidents and fires are esti
mated around one billion. To re
duce this enormous loss, 15 simple
rules are outlined for Farm Safety
Week:
1. Keep walkways and steps in
good repair, unobstructed and well
lighted; 2. Keep ladders in good re
pair and easily accessible in case
of emergency; 3. Always stop a
machine before unclogging, oiling,

or adjusting. Keep all machine
guards and safety devices in place;
4. Don’t wear loose and floppy
clothes around machinery; 5. Start
tractors smoothly and turn corners
•lowly—avoid ditch banks and soft
ground—always hitch to the draw
bar; 6. Speak to animals when ap
proaching them. Keep them calm
by acting with calm self assurance
yourself; 7. Always keep bulls in
safe bull pens. Never handle bulls
unless they are properly restrained;
ft. Know and obey all traffic laws;
ft. Keep your back straight and lift
heavy loads with your leg muscles;
10. Use the right tools for the job-
make sure they are in good condi-
tion—keep them in a safe place; 11.
Give prompt attention to even minor
Injuries; 12. Keep guns unloaded
except when actually using them;
IS. Don’t use kerosene to start fires;
14. Don’t smoke around the barn;
15. Never swim alone. Never dive
into water without first determining
the depth.
Boe Safer Than Spray
For Gardens, Report
The U. S. department of agricul
ture advises against using a chem
ical weed killer in the home garden
to avoid more damage than gain to
the vegetable crop.
In a recent bulletin, the depart
ment reported spraying with chem
ical weed killers is effective and
a work-saver if do\e with care to
avoid injury to vegetables.
In the home garden^ rows are
close and several of the favorite
garden crops—tomatoes and beans,
for example—are highly sensitive to
weed killing chemicals.
In a family-sized garden the job
of using a hoe or cultivator would
probably take less time than to
spray with a weed killer since the
chemical must be precisely meas
ured and mixed and the equipment
thoroughly cleaned afterwards, the
department pointed out
Back-Saving Brush
One of the hardest jobs of the
housewife is scrubbing, as it
necessitates her getting on her
knees. Use a labor-saving helper
and obviate that everlasting scrub
bing floors on the knees, it is made
at an ordinary 2% by 10-inch fibre
brush by attaching a block of wood
to Hie top. The block is inches
thick and 2% inches wide and 0
indies long at the bottom and bev-
eled to 7 inches at the top. The cor
ners are rounded. After the block
is planed it is attached to the brush
at both ends.
Learn, Obey Farm Safety
Rules, NFSW Theme
The background for National
Farm Safety Week, to be observed
July 23 to 29, is a picture blacker
than it need be. It indudes an an
nual 17,500 fatalities from accidents,
and 1,500,000 disabling injuries. Al
so about 35,000 buildings are de
stroyed by fire. The annual loss,
much of it preventable, is estimated
at about one billion dollars. “Learn
and Obey Farm Safety Rules’* is
the theme.

Jury Duty Chance for Front-Row

This Is the third of a series of 10
articles from the booklet “Good Citi
zen” published by The American Her
itage Foundation concerning the
rights and dnties of an American.
The second promise of a good cit
izen: I will serve on a jury when
asked.
When you receive a notice of
jury duty, your first reaction may
be, “Brother, how can I get out of
this?” It interferes with your work
or leisure. It’s a lot of trouble. The
pay is chicken feed.
Yet anyone who dodges respon
sibility or jury duty digs his little
spadeful away from the foundation
of one of our country’s broadest
freedoms.
The obligation to serve on a jury
is the reverse side of the right of
trial by jury.
When you sit in a jury box and
look at the accused on the stand,
how can you fail to say, “There,
but for the grace of God, go I?”
Or, when listening to the two sides
of a damage suit, how can you fail
to say, “What if I were in the
same fix?”
A jury of 12 impartial, open-
minded men and women, a little
cross section of the community,
under oath, is every man’s protec
tion against injustice, individual
prejudice, intolerance and perse
cution.

JURY DUTY is a chance to have
a front-row view of how our demo-
By INEZ GERHARD
I LONA MASSEY, has had exper
ience in playing a beautiful spy;
she did it in two movies, “Inter
national Lady” and “Invisible
Agent.” So her role in the new
NBC Monday night series, “Top
Secret,” is right up her alley. It
is based on the actual experiences
of a spy whom she knows, but who
could not possibly be so beautiful
as Dona. You’ve heard her sing
in “Balalaika” and “Rosalie”;
she has fun as a comedian in her
latest picture, the Marx Brothers’
“Love Happy.” By the time you
read this she may have publicly
announced that the marvellous new
ring she wears on her left hand
means that marriage is in the of
fing; as yet she hasn’t admitted it.
Porter Hall, the character star,
has a nice, meaty role in Para
mount’s “Ace in the Hole,” starring
Kirk Douglas and Jan Sterling.
Laid in Albuquerque, N. M., it is
the story of a big-time newspaper
reporter who hits the skids, then
sees a chance for a comeback while
covering the story of a man impris
oned below ground. Hall plays the

Bandmaster Paul Lavalle and
his “Band of America” will make

cratic justice is administered.
You may have wondered why jus
tice moves so slowly and why so
much expense is justified in some
times minor cases. From your seat
in the jury
box you will
gain a new
and com
forting real
ization that
the system
of pleas,
rules of evi
dence, ob
jections, ex
ceptions and
legal briefs and arguments, com
plicated as it is, gives time and op
portunity for the slightest ray of
possible innocence to shine out—
for the truth to prevail beyond the
shadow of any reasonable doubt.
Lack of familiarity may have
given you a distorted view of court
room procedure, and a fear or dis
like of courts in generaL Jury
duty gives you a new insight into
the reasons for the many happen
ings of the courtroom which can
not fail to send you home a better
citizen.
There are three kinds of juries
on which you might be called to
serve:
The grand jury’s function is to
hear complaints of the commission
of an offense and to inquire, by aid
of testimony presented by the dis
trict attorney, whether there are
“prima facie,” that is, “at first
view,” grounds for criminal pros
ecution. It functions, therefore sole
ly in criminal courts.
• » •
IN A FEW states the grand jury
may be done away with, even in
murder cases, and the charges may
thus be brought by the prosecutor,
to avoid delays incident to grand
jury hearings.
A trial jury, petit jury or com
mon jury is used in all cases except
when the accused elects to be tried
by the court or is charged with only
a “petty offense.” It functions only
after the grand jury has returned
an indictment against the accused.
Witnesses are presented both by
the prosecuting officer in the behalf
of the state or commonwealth and
by the attorney for the defendant.
THE PETIT or common jury is
employed in civil cases, except
where the issue is one of such a
nature that the case may be de
cided by the court (judge) without
a jury. The procedure is much the
same as in a criminal case, except
that the district or state’s attorney
has no connection with it. Private
citizens, and not the state or com
monwealth, are the prosecutors in
a civil suit, except where the state
has a civil interest, as in a tax case,
for example.
A coroner’s jury is impaneled by
the coroner to help decide facts
surrounding death of one or more
persons when there is cause to
believe that death may have re
sulted from a criminal act. The
coroner acts as presiding judge,
has the power to call witnesses and
may place suspected persons under
bond to await grand jury action.

THE
FICTION
CORNER
WIND FOR THE MILLS
By Richard H. Wilkinson
r WAS THE FAMOUS wind storm
of 1935 which lasted three days
and which nearly devastated the
town of Mapleridge that gave Silas
Kent the idea of selling his wind
mill to the town. The heavy gales
practically ruined the mill as a use
ful farm ap
pliance, a fact
which was, ac
tually. unimpor
tant, as Silas
had installed
town water three years before. But
it gave him the idea nevertheless;
it was either a matter of paying to
have the thing repaired, or sell it,
and as Si was a hard-shelled old
New England Yankee of the first
water, the idea of paying for any
thing went against the grain.
He waited a month and then
dropped over to his neighbor, Asa
Gardeners.
“How’s that?” said Asa, regard
ing Si in astonishment. “Sell the
town that rickety old windmill? Sell
it? Why, you blasted old highway
robber! It’s a wonder we ain’t got
out an injunction agin you long
ago fer defacin’ the landscape. ’
SI reddened to his ears.
“Rickety old windmill! Yon
callin’ my windmill rickety?
Dang yon, Ase, you’re plumb
onromantic and onsentimeatal.’*
“It’s time it was torn down and
drug off then,” said Asa. “It’s clut
tering up the scenery.”
The next day Si went down town
and tackled other prominent citi-
BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET
Uncle Charlie, Delancey Street Machiavelli, Sets a Trap
By BILLY ROSE
My Uncle Charlie is a man like this: Do him a favor and you’ve
got—or are stuck with—a friend for life.
For instance . . .
Forty years ago when Charlie married my Aunt Frieda and moved
Into a flat on Allen street, things were so tough that they seldom knew
where their next boiled potato was coming from, and the couple would
have gone hungry many a night had it not been for a kindly baker on De
lancey street named Schultz who occasionally slipped them a bag of stale
bread.
Later, when my uncle got a Job
and began bringing home a fairish
buck, he kept up his' friendship
with Schultz, and to this day if my
aunt so much as
buys an onion roll
from another bak
er he’ll shout, “In-
gratenik! You’re
nipping the hand
that once was feed
ing us!"
A couple of
months ago, Charlie
finally got a
chance to square
up his long-stand
ing debt when a
Viennese gentleman named Dunkel-
meyer opened a bakeshop a few
doors away from Schultz’s run
down establishment. It was quite
a layout—newly-fixtured, complete
with chromium counters and, as if
that weren’t enough, an hermetic
ally-sealed display window out-
Billy Rose
lined with neon tubing.
* » *
SHORTLY AFTER ne opened,
the Viennese began to spread it
around that his competitor used
unsanitary methods and that the
raisins in his cupcakes sometimes
had wings. This, of course, was
hitting below the breadbasket, but
It brought results and, as of s few
weeks ago, the old baker’s shop
was as deserted as • nightclub at
noon.
"What you’re needing to stop
this Jakie-Come-Lately,” my Un
cle Charlie told his friend one
day, "is public relations.”
"Won’t do no good,” said
Schultz. "Even my private rela
tions are buying from DunkeL
meyer.”
“Then advertise,” said Charlie.
“I am recommending Battstein,
Bartstein, Durstein and—pardon
the expression—Osborn.”
“Four fellas for one job?” said
the old baker. “Who could afford
it?"
“Besides, you should fix up your
window. For instance, lay out the
bagels like an American flag.”
“Waste of time,” said Schultz,
“but I got another idea. This Dun-
kelmeyer is using, machines to
mix his dough and maybe your
wife, Frieda, could talk it around
that on his rolls he is sprinkling
metal filings instead of poppy
seeds.”
“Too big a risk,” said my uncle.
“Dunkelmeyer could answer back
that there is fingernails in your
pumpernickeL”
“So what?” said Schultz. “Bet
ter a fingernail than nuts and
bolts.”
• • •
THE NEXT EVENING as the
old man was closing the store.
Charlie asked to borrow his keys.
“Maybe with the cellar key,” he
said, “1 could get into Dunkel-
meyer’s basement?”
“On this block,” said Schultz,
“the locks are mostly the same.
But what business you got in his
basement?”
“It came to me a thought,” said
my uncle, “but don’t worry, I’U be
delicate like a ladyfinger.”
That night happened to be
Saturday and Delancey street—
the Champs Elysees of thi East
Side—was a-hop with window-
shoppers, and around 10 a crowd
began to mob Dunkelmeyer’t
window. And small wonder—
two mice were mbbling at the
groom on top of a seven-layer
wedding cake, while a third
peeped in shy ecstacy from be
hind the bride’s wedding dress.
When the gogglers were 10 deep,
Charlie elbowed his way to the
window. “Is on account Dunkel
meyer has his mixing machines
in the cellar,” he explained to the
crowd. “In them the mice are
building jnests.”
Well, that did it, and a few days
later when my uncle breezed into
his friend’s shop, the Dutchman
kissed him on both cheeks.
“Dunkelmeyer is kaput,” he
said. “It wasn’t ethics, but tt
brought back the customers.”
“Up-to-date public relations,”
said Charley modestly.
"How you drilled a hole from the
cellar up to Dunfcelmeyer’s win
dow I can understand,” said
Schultz, “but where did you get
the mice in such a hurry?”
“Simple,” said my uncle. T -set
a cage-trap in your pantry next to
the cheese strudeL”
“How’s that?” said Aaa, re
garding Si in astonishment.
“Sell the town that rickety old
windmill?”
zens. But he was too late. Asa
Gardener had, apparently, thought
Si’s idea about the best joke he’d
heard in years, and had proceeded
to let every one in on it. Worst of
all, Mapleridge’s citizenry saw eye
to eye with the selectman. They
were easily amused.
Si came home in a rage. He
was seriou4 in his idea about
erecting the windmill on the village
green. Why, they were even talk
ing about getting a court order to
make him tear it down. H they
succeeded it would cost him some
money. The thought was griping.
It is necessary to note that
coincidence played a big part in
the events that transpired during
the next week. For it was coinci
dence, most assuredly, that caused
J. Allan Brown, philanthropist,
public-spirited citizen of Boston,
Mass., to pen the letter that set all
Mapleridge agog. The letter was
directed to S. Kent. He opened it
in the postoffice, with half a dozen
curious citizens standing idly by.
Within an hoar every resi
dent of Mapleridge knew that
the great J. Allen Brown had
spotted Si Kent’s windmill, and
wanted to buy It for 51500 to
add to a collection of American
relics he was making.
TT TOOK MAPLERIDGE about
^ half' day to grasp the signifi
cance of all this, and then thing!
began to happen. A special town
meeting was held. Speeches were
made to the effect that Si Kent’s
windmill was certainly a landmark
and it would be a shame to have
it moved off to some museum.
Why, Si himself had suggested
erecting it on the village green.
A committee was appointed to
see Si the very next mofning.
“What?” said Si. “Give yon
My windmill? After the way
yon talked? Dang yon, get off in
my property! Git of fin it afore
I have yon throwed off!”
The committee withdrew to the
sidewalk and consulted.
Presently they returned. Bert
Englewood, a lawyer who was con
sidered quite an orator, made a
speech. He wound up by offering
$2000 cash for the windmill, and
Si weakened.
Triumphantly the committee with
drew and Si went back into his
house. He closed the door and be
gan to laugh, which was almost a
phenomenon. Sara, his wife, looked
at him in astonishement, and Si
said:
“It’s nothing, Sara, nothin’. Only
it’s a lucky thing fer me them folks
didn’t insist on me showin* ’em that
letter from J. Allen. Why, there
wan’t nothin’ on it but a lot of serib-
blin, I done mysef.”
Carp
A channel catfish bait that is be
coming increasingly popular is the
so-called cut, or chunk bait.
It is made by filetting carp, cut
ting the fillets into strips two to
three inches long and about an
inch wide.
The carp strips are put into a jar
and let stand two or three days in
cool weather, or a few hours in hot
weather.
Channel catfish find this bait t»
resistible.

Tips to Anglers
When you catch that big one this
summer you probably will wonder
what procedure you should follow
to have it mounted A few simple
precautions can be taken by you
which will insure a perfect speci
men hanging on the wall of your
den or living room.
First of all, most taxidermists
prefer to receive a fish unskinned
so they can make a cast of it.
There are times, however, when
this fe not v possible so the best
thing to do is place your fish on a
piece of paper after it’s caught and
run a pencil around it carefully to
obtain an accurate outline. Be sure
to make note? on color.
Next step is to cut open the side,
not the belly. If you have made an
outline the skin can be removed. Be
very careful about this operation.
A little patience will pay big divi
dends. Fins should be separated at
the base from the body with a
sharp knife or other instrument.
Grease should be scraped off and
then the skin can be spread and
rubbed down with salt on the inner
side only. Let the skin lay until
the next day then roll it up in a
piece of paper and ship to tne
taxidermist in a box or tin can
with air holes. The specimen also
will keep for several weeks in thi*
manner. Remember to enclose your
notes and sketch with the ship
ment.
AAA
Hooking Earthworms
' There are several effective meth
ods for hooking earthworms to
entice trout, and it’? a matter of
individual preference by the fish
erman which he uses. All methods
that take trout leave most of the
worm free of the hook so that the
bait has plenty of wriggle. One
of the most effective methods is
to hook the worm by passing the
point and barb just beneath the
skin of the unsegmented band (cli-
tellum), which is located about a
third of the length of the worm
from the fa^ad end. This band is
somewhat greater in diameter than
the remainder of the worm, which
makes hooking in this manner
quite easy and the worm remains
lively longer than when hooked
deeply. v
When a fisherman has small
worms and the trout seem to pre
fer a banquet, two worms can be
hooked in the above manner, one
from the head end and one from the
tail end of the clitellum. Short
shank hooks with a round or
“model perfect” bend with straight
point have been proven better than
the rolled-in point style hooks so
popular with bait fishermen.
AAA
Swimming Safety
Lakes and streams furnish recre
ation for thousands of fishermen,
boatmen, and swimmers, but they
are also the scene of almost daily
drownings, mostly caused by care
lessness.
The American Red Cross sug
gests the following hints on water
safety: Wait an hour or two after
eating before going in swimming.
Don’t stay in water after becoming
tired. Swim only in supervised
swimming places. Don’t overesti
mate the distance you are able to
swim. River currents are danger
ous; don’t try to buck them. Use
the safest method possible to res
cue a person in trouble in the
water; use a boat or throw some
floating object if possible.
AAA
Nightcrawler Care
Nightcrawlers or “dew worms,”
the granddaddy of all our angle-
worms, are easy to catch but hard
for some fishermen to keep for
long periods.
To do that, place a tight wooden
box or tub in a cool place, pre
ferably a basement. Fill the tub
with dry, florist’s moss (inexpen
sive and obtainable at most green
houses), throw in a handful of dry
commeal or oatmeal, dump in a
gallon or two of nightcrawlers, and
your worm problems will be solved
for the entire summer. With this
little care, the worms may be held
in perfect condition for late sum-
rper fishing.

Another new Atlantic record has
