THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C.
L/Vf STOCK EXPOSITION
51st International Live Stock
Show Opens in Chicago Nov. 25
mmm pkziie
T«
All roads lead to Chicago every
year when the International Live
Stock Exposition is on in the in
ternational amphitheatre at the Chi
cago stock yards. And this year
will be no exception when the big
show, world’s leading event of its
kind, begins its second half century,
November 25 through December Z.
Show window of America’s great
est single industry—agriculture—
the exposition attracts world-wide
interest and attention.
It not only brings approximately
200,000 farm folk to Chicago, but
the greatest news and radio cover
age in the world carries the story
of the exposition to people around
the globe.
William E. Ogilvie, secretary-
manager of the exposition since its
revival after World War II, believes
that the coming 51st edition should
set new precedents in scope and
quality.
He points out that increased prize
money for the show should help to
encourage the exhibition of the very
tops of livestock from both the
United States and Canada. Espe
cially outstanding are the increases
subscribed in the cattle department
which it is anticipated will attract
record entries.
Pyizes for all cattle classes will
be $61,370, the largest total *ver
offered. Many prize increases made
in other breeds to mark the occa
sion of the golden jubilee show are
retained this year. v
.Two years ago the horse show,
which highlights the entertainment
program with 13 performances, took
on a western flavor with the addi
tion of a “cutting horse contest’’
for quarter horses, so named as
being the fastest horse over a quar
ter mile and ideally adapted to
ranch work. This contest, in which
the horses “cut” a calf out of a
drove of cattle, just as he is re
quired to do in his work on the west
ern range, proved so popular that
it has been installed as a perma
nent fixture, similar to the sheep
dog act which is a perennial favor
ite with all exposition audiences.

T HAT popular daytime serial.
“Portia Faces Life", has gained
new importance through its new
public service feature. Each Wednes
day Lucille Wall, “Portia”, salutes
“The Woman of the Week”, who
may be a housewife, a career wom
an, anyone who has contributed in
an outstanding way to her com
munity and country. Marguerite
Higgins, the famous woman war
correspondent, was the first one.
The second was Mrs. Anne Green
berg, a housewife who started the
New York association for the help
of retarded children. This is a move
to give recognition to women from
all over the country whose efforts
have not received the nation-wide
commendation they deserve.
CBS has terminated its deal with
“Lum and Abner” and has made a
settlement with the rural comedy
team for the remaining four years
of the six-year contract.
An Illinois farm youth shown
with his champion barrow at
last year’s International Live
Stock Exposition.
Dr A. D. Weber, of Kansas State
College, Manhattan, will return to
judge the steers again this year. The
only American to judge these class
es since the exposition departed
from the custom of having foreign
judges two years ago, “Dad” Web
er, as he is known among his stu
dents, is one of the most popular
cattle judges in the country.
THE EIGHT DAYS of the exposi
tion are packed with thrills for
agricultural visitors. But the real
high points of the show are when
the grand champion steer is selec
ted on Tuesday and when he is sold
on Thursday.
Last year’s champion, a hereford
named Judge Roy Bean, was pur
chased from his Pecos county, Tex
as 4-H club owners at a record
$11.50 per pound by Dearborn Mo
tors of Detroit,. Dearborn hauled
the steer in a special plane on a
10,000 mile tour of the country.
But the glamor of the steer show
in the amphitheatre, which houses
most of the livestock at the inter
national, does not dim in the im
portance of the great show of car
loads of fat cattle, sheep and swine
that goes on in nearby pens of the
Chicago market. Says Dan D. Case
ment, veteran Kansas cattleman,
concerning the carlot fat stock
show in the yards, “It would be
impossible to give too much credit
to the magnificent show of fat car-
lots that have invariably appeared
at the international during my life
time. It is undoubtedly the greatest
fat stock show in the world.”
Other features in connection with
the international that have become
familiar in the years since 1900 in
clude the grain and hay show, which
is recognized as the world’s largest
competitive showing of farm crops,
with exhibits from nearly every
state rfnd all provinces of Canada;
and the interesting and educational
meats show, first staged in 1924,
which provides a display window
for the final phase of meat produc
tion from packer to consumer’s
table; and the national 4-H club
congress held in conjunction with
the exposition.
Reviewing the first internation
in 1900, an early day writer said,
“Scarcely a feature of this exposi
tion missed the sensational. The
union of elements which gave it
birth, its magnitude, the charact
er of its exhibitors, the outstanding
quality of its stock, the contagious
enthusiasm engendered at its auc
tion sales, its record-breaking pri
ces for bullocks, the overwhelming
evidences of popular appreciation
—in these features it has built an
enduring monument. Great is the
livestock industry, and the Interna
tional Livestock Exposition is its
prophet.”

THE
FICTION
CORNER
BILL SWEARS OFF
By Richard H. Wilkinson
B ILL Clifford is #ff women for
life. Dagmar Fanchon is the
reason. It happened this way.
Carolyn, Bill’s sister, brought
Dagmar up to the Clifford camp on
Lake Winnepesaukee last June
after school closed. The two girls
had been roommates at Wellesley.
Bill’s mother and father and Bill
were all pres-
■“‘“'I ent Bill was up
3 - Minute from New York
f° r annual
Fiction two weeks vaca _
tion.
As a rule women didn’t interest
Bill very much. But this Dagmar
female bowled him over. She was
a brunette with dark brown eyes
and a petite figure. Bill took one
look at her and fell.
Even so, Dagmar, who rather
went for Bill also, had competition.
For Bill was a man with a hobby.
Fishing. He was nuts on it, and as
usual had planned to spend his an
nual two weeks frisking about in
coves and inlets and bays with rod
and line. It depressed him to think
he’d have to divide his time be
tween flirting with trout and flirt
ing with Dagmar.
"But en the second day the
situation was settled. For Dag
mar, after listening to one of
Bill’s fish stories, announced
that she thought fishing must
be fun and would Bill take her?
They set out the next morning
in BUl’s outboard. Bill produced
a couple of Whirling Duns and
BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET
Ineptness With Equalizer Evenf ound Among Gangsters
By BILLY ROSE
Because I sometimes tote around more than two dollars, and be
cause my house has demonstrated a tendency to get burgled, I have
a license to carry a revolver—and sometimes do.
But I certainly hope I never get into a spot where I have to use it,
because I doubt whether I could hit the back wall of a brewery if I were
20 feet away. ‘ ,
And it isn’t because I haven’t practiced a-plenty. There’s a make
shift pistol range back of my house up at Mt. Kisco, and over the years
I guess I’ve tl$cd up enough ammunitipn to keep a small Balkan war
going. But no matter how carefully
I sight and squeeze the baby gun
with the short noce. I’ve never been
able to do ihuch more to the bulls-
eye than glare at it. And two win
get you 20 that most
Dead - eye-
you read
about can’t do
much better. ,
The 'U. S. army
evidently agrees
with me about the
difficulty , in hand
ling this tricky bit
of mechanism effec
tively. Next time
you see newsreel
doseups of- the kids who are doing
the fighting in Korea, look closely
and you’ll see they’re armed with
rifles—Garftnds and Browning au
tomatics—but about the only place
you’ll see a six-gun will be in the
holster of a two-star general.
I FIRST LEARNED that expert
shooting with a revolver is more
bull than bullseye when I moseyed
down to Ft. Worth 14 years ago to
stage that city’s centennial expo
sition. One of the whoopty-doos I
put on, “The Last Frontier,” was
a wild west show, and 'the bast
included the best boss hands in ffye
business—Galahads in 10-gallbn hats
who had won prize money in evefy
rodeo from Pendleton to Madison
Square Garden. Naturally, I want-
of the ]
Dicks
Billy Rose
ed to include an exhibition of pis
tol shooting, and as a charter mem
ber of the Zane Grey club I fig
ured that almost any one of my
bronco busters could pop a clay
pipe out of a girl’s mouth at 30 feet.
Well, I figured wrong. There was
no one in the cast who could hit the
pipe without taking the mouth with
it, and I wound up having to im
port the national pistol champion—
a skinny kid from Brooklyn who
had learned marksmanship in a
Coney Island shooting gallery.
This ineptness with what Da
mon Runyon used to call "the
equalizer* is even more com
mon among gangsters. Sure,
the hoodlums of the ‘IQ’s pis
toled many a citizen, but almost
invariably the victim was in a
motor car, and the range a
couple of inches from the nape
of his neck. Whenever the
corpse-to-be figured to be more
than a few feet away, the kill
ers used sawed-off shotguns
with a three-foot spread, or
tommy guns which produced a
spray Uke a garden hose.
A few years back, an ex-bootieg-
ger—now vice president of a na
tional whiskey company—told me a
story about A1 Capone which illus
trates my point. It seems A1 was
tipped off that one of his body
guards was playing footsie with $
rival gang, so he threw a banquet
for 200 of his hired help, and after
the feed made some complimentary
remarks about the double-crosser
and asked him to get up on the
table and take a bow. As the guest
of honor was bowing, the 200 hood
lums reached for their rods and let
him have it. But when Capone—
always the good bookkeeper—count
ed the bullet holes, he found only
20 in the carcass—180 of the trig-
germen had missed.
YEARS AGO, I used to haunt the
42nd street shooting galleries, and
got so handy with a .22 rifle that I
could knock the dancing celluloid
ball off the stream of water five
times out of ten. And I was plenty
cocky about my marksmanship un
til one day when I went up to see
Ben Hecht at his place in Nyack.
Hecht, fed up with my big, talk
about small arms, suggested I shoot
it out with Charlie Lederer, the
screen writer, who was spending
the weekend with him.
"I’ve got nothing against Led
erer" l said modestly. "Let
him live."
"The target will ha a toma
to can at 10 feet," said Ben,
"and you and Charlie can take
turns with my 22 automatic
pistol"
We went out on the lawn and Led
erer, sighting carefully, hit the can
two out of three times. I didn’t
even nick it.
Last month while vacationing in
Hollywood, I lunched with Hecht
and reminded him of the debacle
which ended my career as a marks
man.
“I might as well have been shoot
ing blanks,” I said.
“As a matter of fact,” grinned
Ben, “you were.”
Very patiently Bill unsnarled
her line from an overhanging ^
bongh and explained how tho
thing was done.
proceeded to rig tackle. ”Fish are
sensitive to color,” he explained.
“On a day as bright as this a dull
fly does the trick.”
They entered a cove, cut the mo
tor and drifted. “We’ll be sure to
land something here,” Bill ex
plained.
He cast and Dagmar cast. Very
patiently Bill unsnarled her line
from an overhanging bough and
explained how the thing was done.
Dagmar nodded and tried again.
r lEY fished for an hour and
failed to land the big one Bill
promised. It grew cloudy and the
sun disappeared. “Ah,” Bill said,
“We’d better change to a bright
fly.” Dagmar suddenly said:
“There’s something pulling on my
line!” '
“You’ve got a bite!” he yelled.
“Start reeling in!”
He got up and stumbled over a
creel. When he looked up Dagmar
was holding her line clear of the
water. A ten-inch trout was dan
gling on the l^ook.
“No!” Bill yelled. “That’s not
the way! You’ve got to play him!”
But Dagmar didn’t understand.
She began swinging the fish Uke
a pendulum. Presently she caught
the line on the up swing and held
it, the 10-incher squirming on the
hook.
##T OOK out!” Bill yeUed^”You’ll
“lose him! Don’t do that!
You’ve got to play him! Bring him
in with a net!”
But Dagmar said: ”1 can’t
see what’s wrong with this
method. After aU, the idea is to
catch fish, isn’t it?” And she
dropped the trout, hook, line and
aU in the bottom of the boat.
Bill made a lunge at her rod,
but he tripped again, feU sidewise.
The outboard wabbled. Dagmar,
caught off balance, threw out her
hands to brace herself, missed the
gunwale and went sprawling over
board. Bill was already ixi the
water, and it wasn’t until he’d gone
down and come up again splutter
ing, that he remembered he could
not swim. He yeUed, splashing
around with his hands and ship
ping a lot of water. He went down
again and came up. Then suddenly
he felt a pair of hands grabbing
him underneath the shoulders. He
clutched at the hands wildly, and
something hit him a stunning blow
chi the jaw.
When Bill opened his eyes he
was lying on shore. Dagmar was
close by, wringing out her dress.
Bill sat up. “What happened?”
Dagmar smiled: “You tell me/'
Bill thought back, and the picture
his memory conjured was most
humiliating. Right then and there
he made his resolve that he was off
women for life. Unless, of course,
he marries Dagmar Fanchen.
Good Dairy Bam
Lighting Essential
Speeds Up Work, Aids
Sanitation Problems
Good lighting in the dairy barn
is not only convenient, but neces
sary. For it speeds up work and
helps the dairyman with his sanita
tion problems.
Farmers, therefore, are cautioned
by agricultural engineers to wire
their barns so that they have plenty
of illumination on the job, around
the job and going to and from the
job. For these purposes, it is rec
ommended that lighting outlets be
located every 12 feet on the center
line of the litter alley and every 20

feet on the center line of the feed
alley.
If more illumination is desired
than can be obtained from the above
plan, a second line of lights can be
placed in the litter alley over the
hind quarters of each row of cows.
Flood lights on the outside cor
ner of the barn, or conveniently
placed yard Ughts, will help pre
vent accidents by illuminating the
farmer’s path from the barn to the
house. If a milk house loading plat
form is used, it also should be welf
lighted.

The data was based upon actual

AILING HOUSE
— A
by ROGEftC. WHITMAN
Should a Stepfather discipline teen-agers?'
Answer: Not if it can be avoid
ed—the most he can wisely do is
to “back up” their mother. For
you cannot really make 4 child
obey you once he’s old enough to
go about by himself, and if be
does so at all—at least, when you
are not looking—it will be only
because he loves and trusts you.
The average adolescent longs to
find someone to whom he can go
for advice and will turn gladly
to a person he feels has his wel
fare at heart, but to give him
orders before you have won his
confidence will only spur him to
defy them.
Do men work mainly for
money?
Answer: No, report industrial
psychologists who have studied
labor-management relations. Re
search uniformly shows that “job
security” fs more important to the
average worker than high wages
and that once this is achieved,
what he wants next is “ego-satis
faction.” Morale and efficiency
are highest where the worker
feels his job is regarded as im
portant by the “higher-ups,” and
that hi^ ideas will receive con
sideration. A demand for mora
pay frequently is an unconscious
protest against being denied rec
ognition as a person.
Will “will power” cure
alcoholism?
. ^ , s;
Answer: No, maintains Dwight
Anderson, self-styled “dry drunk
ard,” in his comprehensive and
illuminating book, “The Other
Side of the Bottle.” “I don’t know
of a single dry alcoholic whb has
managed it by will alone. An alco
holic must be so profoundly con
vinced that alcohol is harmful to
him that he wil automatically re
sist the idea of taking a drink.”
Until s^d experience has brought
him this conviction, mere determi
nation not to drink serves main
ly to keep the idea of drinking in
his mind and give it “a glamour
that is almost irresistible.”

Noise, Hearing in Industrial Plants
By Dr. James W. Barton
/#
O FFICES ot an industrial plant
are always placed in quiet
parts of the plant and 'are often
sound-conditioned, but the worker
is continually subjected to noise of
an injurious level,” says Dr. W.
E. Grove, Milwaukee, in Industrial
Medicine. Because noise interferes
with work of any kind and con
tinuous noise is bound to affect the
hearing ability of the workers. Dr.
Grove suggests that an accurate ear
examination and hearing test should
be made of every person starting
on a new job. If this is done ac
curately and systematically from
year to year, management will
soon have a record of every per
son in the plant. Hearing specialists
from long experience have fdund
that some ears are more affected
by or susceptible to noise than
others.
If any workman has a hearing

If at the end of the week, there
is any noticeable loss of hearing or
if he has a continuous noise in his
ears, he should be shifted to some
less noisy joj) or, if this connot be
arranged, should wear some type
of ear protector. The wearing of
ear stopples (used to prevent water
getting in ears while swimming)
seems to reduce noise by 50 to 60
per cent.
In'the shops of one company em

posed to a noise level of 150-120 dec

with one or two .exceptions, pro
found nerve deafness that appeared
to be caused by the noise in the
shop. Ear specialists have known
for many years that despite some
being more susceptible to noise than
others, all ears will suffer from
noise of that high intensity if It is
continued long enough.
