Don’t try to remove the tape later, though, unless yoti’re get ting a new gasket, because the old gasket probably will come off with the tape. When the rubber-covered dish drainer or skeleton tray along side your sink gets old and sticky, apply shellac, varnish or ordinary paint. Let it dry thoroughly be fore you do the job (and after) to eliminate the sticking and pro long the life of the tray. When the stove begins to look <lull, * *but still doesn’t quite need new polish, you can brighten it up by rubbing it occasionally with waxed paper. To blacken or polish a stove, here’s a routine that gives it a good finish and makes it last. When rust and grease have been removed, rub the stove thorough ly with waxed paper. Then add a tablespoonful of strong leftover coffee and a few pinches of brown sugar to a can of your favorite brand of stove polish. Don’t mix them up; just take a dab of all three with your brush each time and apply the mixture to the stove that way. The coffee and sugar on top of the polish will probably give out before the polish does, but you can add more as needed.

Chapter Swine Judged Grand Champion The national barrow show was held at Austin, Minn., Saptember 12 to 16, with 2,560 hogs entered for 16 states and Canada. The grand champions of the show were a Poland-China barrow from Oklahoma, owned fcy the boys of the F.F.A. Stillwater chapter; a pen of three Hampshire barrows from the Bi-Line farms at Sobina, Ohio, and Pennville, Ind.; and a truckload The Poland China named grand champion at the national barrow show at Austin, Minn., guided in the auction ring by William Felton, Oklahoma as sistant supervisor of education. of 15 Berkshire barrows owned by 14 orphan boys who live at the Oklahoma state orphans home at Pryor, Oklahoma. In the carcass event of the show, 128 barrows were entered and the champion carcass came from a Hampshire barrow owned by the Bi-Line farms. It had the most yield of valuable cuts, and when every product was evaluated separately on today’s market, it lead all the 128 carcasses in total selling price. The national barrow show is lead ing the way in giving America a pic- ture of the kind of swine which best meets the consumer’s wants. The judges put the longish, meat-type hogs to the front Hobby Room Gives Added Pleasure to Farm Homes A farm home can become even more livable with the addition of a hobby room. It can be a corner in the basement where a boy can store his wood-working tools with just enough space to put the tools to good use. Or it can be a finished room where the children can have their 4-H club meetings or a get-together of the gang. Furnishings can be inexpensive by exercising ingenuity and imagina tion. Built-in furniture, such as book shelves, shelves for knick- knacks, cupboards, a wall seat with a hinged cover in which toys, games and odds and ends can be stored, can be economically made by the carpenter £>r by the gang of “future farmers’’ in one of their meetings. Other ideas for hobby room furni ture include a drop leaf table fast ened to the wall, a sandwich bar where hot coffee and other refresh ments can be dispensed, a bunk on which to stretch out and rest during the day. Farm living can be pleasantly improved with the addition of a hobby room. Star Farmer Forest Davis, Jr., 21-year- old Florida farmer, was named winner of the nation’s highest award of achievement by a farm youth, that of star farmer of America. Davis was presented a check for $1,000 from the Future Farmers of America foundation at the 23rd annual F. F. F. convention in Kansas City. 1949 Sugar Beet Crop Valued at $15 Million Nearly 10,000 midwestem farms are splitting a million dollar melon from the final payment on the 1949 sugar beet crop. Checks for the bal ance due on the crop have gone out or will be mailed shortly, the agri culture department reports. The total value of the crop in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, niinnlg and Wisconsin in 1949, including gov ernment payments, was about $19 million. RURAL HEALTH Health Councils Bring Better Medical Care to Rural Areas One of the brightest indications of progress in securing more doc tors and better health facilities for rural areas in this country is the recent announcement by the Ameri can Medical Association that com munity health councils in the nation have increased from 82 to nearly 300 in the last two years. ft I By INEZ GERHARD T>EN GRAUER, currently celebra- & ting his- 20th anniversary in radio, has no special classification at NBC—except as the man who can do everything, and do it well. The outstanding special events re porter of the air, he is also^ sports commentator, narrator, moderator BEN GRAUER and emcee. He has broadcast in 11 countries on four continents; he flew the airlift and reported from Berlin, was the first radio reporter in Israel to air the news when Count Berna- dotte was assassinated. His favorite fan letter—“Dear Mr. Grauer, You talk too much on the air. Don’t bother to answer this. Just shut up!’’ Hollywood has seen some gaudy cars, from Tom Mix’s, with steer horns on the radiator cap to some like the one Gloria Swanson uses in “Sunset Boulevard.’’ Bill “Hop- along Cassidy” Boyd has joined the parade; his has white leather up holstery. black and white leather accessories, and a silver radiator cap showing “Hoppy” on his fav orite horse. Eve Arden, now in “Goodbye, My Fancy,’’ says the best way for a girl to make a movie career is to stay single—^because if an actress is married to an actor he’s jealous of her career, but a non-professional is even more jealous. Park Levy, head writer of the “My Friend Irma** air show. Is the envy of aU radio row. He will write, direct and produce an airshow which he tailored for Gloria Swanson, whom everybody has been par- suing with contracts with no luck. ODDS AND ENDS . . . Wendell Holmes, radio actor featured in “The Road of Life” and “Young Dr. Malone,” leaves for Hollywood soon for his first movie role . . . Gloria Holiday, who plays “Gloria,” the PBX operator on the “Harold Peary Show,” formerly worked on the switchboard at CBS, Hollywood —that was before she became Mrs. Peary . . . Rumor has it that the script for Alfred Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train” is scarier than anything else he has done for the screen. These figures are based on a sur vey of the association’s council on medical service in which county medical societies were queried, Thomas A. Hendricks of Chicago, secretary of the council, reported. Local achievements of the com munity health councils in the last five years include construction of hospitals with the aid of the hos pital survey and construction act (Hill-Burton act); increasing avail able hospital beds; developing clin ics; securing more doctors, den tists, nurses and other needed per sonnel; development of fulltime lo cal public health services; health ex amination of children of school and pre-school age and correction of their remediable health defects; promotion of voluntary prepayment medical care and hospitalization; provision of medical care for the aged and chronically ill, and meet ing costs of medical service to fami lies unable to pay for hospitaliza tion and doctors* bills, according to Hendricks. In some instances community councils have been extremely help ful in cooperating with the national mental health program. Councils have matched government funds to pay mental health clinic personnel and conducted educational cam paigns to acquaint communities with the value and manner of op eration of the clinics. And although health councils have been organized in urban as well as in rural areas, they have been es pecially important in bringing bet ter medical care to the people in rural communities, Hendricks said. • • • THE A.M.A/s efforts to promote organization of community health councils to improve medical care for long neglected rural communi ties date back to the organization of the association’s committee on rural health five years ago. Since that time it has been actively en gaged in coordinating the efforts of farm groups and state jmd local medical societies in rural health. The committee is set up go that its representatives can be reached locally in any area. Doctors select ed by state medical societies serve as directors in nine regions and as state rural health chairmen in 45 states. Any organization wanting in formation on setting up a local health council or solving rural health problems may contact one of these representatives or write directly to the A.M.A. rural health committee in Chicago. • • • AS AN EXAMPLE of how the council plan works, suppose mem bers of an Ohio farm bureau wrote the A.M.A. that a community needs a doctor and does not have the facili ties to attract him. The community wants to build and staff a health clinic with aid from the hospital survey and construction act What happens? The information is referred to the regional director who takes the matter up with the state rural health chairman and the state med ical society. The state chairman and the medical society contact the farm bureau, a meeting is called, and the state chairman and repre sentatives of the state and local medical societies, farm organiza tions and civic groups get together at the community level to work out the problem. That the rural health problem is steadily being solved through coop erative community efforts was gen erally agreed at a conference on rural health in Kansas City, Mo. The conference brought together more than 500 medical and lay lead ers concerned with providing medi cal care to small communities.

Slouched in his saddle, one hand resting carelessly on his thigh near the butt of the six shooter, he watched from beneath the brim of his hat as the boy came toward him. “This Marc Newell’s place?” he asked. The boy nodded. “My brother will be back any minute. I’m Davie Newell. Axe you Mr. Du- mont, the cattle buyer?” Without changing his expression Jim Orson said: “Yeah, I’m him.” “We’ve been expectin’ you. Come on inside and wait It’s cooler.” ”1 noticed,” Orson remarked, “that you bad a rifle in your hands when you first opened the door. Expectin’ trouble?** The boy’s face clouded. “I was afraid it might be Jules Snyder. He’s promised to get Marc.*’ “Why is he out to get your brother?” Orson’s hand whipped to his hip and he shot at the exact moment lead sported from the horseman’s six-shooter. Faintly the sound of hoofbeats came to them. Davie set down the pan of potatoes and scurried to a window, turned back into the room, white-faced. Without a word he snatched up the Winchester rifle. The boy hesitated. “Because Marc quit his gang. Marc used to hang around with the Snyder bunch, but when they began rustlin’ and killin’, he quit ’em. “Right after Marc quit, a man named Tom Orson was shot and Jules let it out that Marc done it. The story spread an* nobody dared deny it because they’re afraid of Snyder.” Jim Orson thought: “The boy’s lying. He’s like his brother—a liar and a killer. It was Marc Newell who killed Tom, and it’s Marc Newell I’m going to settle with for the crime.** “You’ll like my brother,” Davie was saying. “He’s swell. He—” T HREE men had drawn rein be fore the gate. Halfway down the walk Davie was facing them de fiantly. “You git out of here, Jules Snyder!” The leader of the trio, obviously Snyder, said placatingly: “Put down the, gun, kid. We only want to have a talk with your brother.” “You want to kill him!” the boy cried shrilly. “I ain’t gonna let you. Marc never done nothin* to you.” Behind Jules Snyder one of the riders had drawn his gun. It was one against three, a boy against a trio of killers. Jim Orson stepped through the kitchen door. His hand was on his gun. BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Professional Blind Man Plays 6ag to the Very Finish , By BILLY ROSE Last night, in a mood for malt and malarkey, I stopped in to chin with Sammy Fuchs, proprietor of the Bowery Follies and hon orary mayor of that unwashed neck of the Manhattan woods. “What’s new and gruesome in your baliwick?” I asked mine host. “Nothing much,” said Sammy, “except that Faker Kennedy died last week and left his eyes to a bartender down the block.” “Come again?” I said. Accoraing to Sammy, the Faker was a professional blind man who had been rattling a tin cup on the Bowery for as long as he could remember. In spite of his calling, however, it was a standing joke around the flophouses that the cane- tapper could shoot off a bug’s ear at a hundred paces. “We used to kid Kennedy about his blindness,” said Sammy, “but h e never let on it was an act—if it was an act And we were never sure because no one ever saw the old coot without his smoked glasses. “Down at Gar- Billy Rose gan’s Bar where the Faker used to hang out after hours,” Sammy continued, “the proprietor had a kind of running gag at the bum’s expense. “ ’When you die,’ he used to say, ‘will me your eyes. Mine are get- tin* pretty tired from lookin' at the sawdust.’ “ T’ll leave ’em to ya, Gargan.’ was the Faker’s stock answer. ‘And they’ll come in handy if ya ever want to play marbles.* • • • “That’s about how the talk went until one night not long ago when a couple of stick-up-men walked into Gargan’s and lined the cus tomers up against the wall—all ex cept the Faker who didn’t budge from his usual place at the end of the bar. “After the punks had cleaned out the register and what little was in the customers* pockets, one of them walked up to the Faker and jabbed a gun in his ribs. ‘"Yon wouldn’t toko pennies from m blind man, would ye? said Kennedy. " 'Don't gimme that pennies stuff,' said the thug. 'You guys always got a roll on ya.’ “The Faker made out as if he was fumbling in his pockets, and then suddenly made a grab for the gun, yanked it away from the hood and bopped him over the head with it. Then, using the body as a sort of shield, he pointed the gun at the other punk. ** ‘Drop yer pistol,' he said, ‘or I'U shoot the cigar outta yer mouth.’ “Well, it so happened the thug did have a cigar in his mouth, and when he beard the blind man’s on-the- button reference to it he got pan icky and dropped his gun. A dozen guys jumped him, and a few min utes later he and his pal were in the precinct house. • • • “After that, of course, everybody on the Bowery was sure the Faker was a fake, but he never owned up. ‘They got me all wrong, ’ he once told me. The stick-up guy was smokin’ an Italian stogie and ya can smell them things a block away. And I guessed it was in his mouth by the way he talked.’ "A couple of weeks ago" Sammy went on, "Faker Ken nedy. got pneumonia, and the day after bis body was carted off to Potter's Field a package showed up in Gorgon's mail with a pair of glass eyes." “Sounds like the old man was telling the truth after all,'* I said. “Nobody is convinced, one way or the other,” said the Mayor of the Bowery. “Maybe the eyes came out of the Faker’s head, and then again maybe he picked them up in a hock- shop. You know, you never can tell about these cuckoos—he might have wanted to play the gag out to the end.*' w LL RIGHT,” he said. “This makes it more even. I’m backing the kid’s play.” Snyder’s eyes bulged. “Who the devil are you?” ‘T’lyi Orson, ^ i m Orson. Brother of the man yon killed, Snyder!** Snyder’s reaction was a dead giveaway. The man who had drawn his gun suddenly levelled it. Orson’s hand whipped to his hip. He got his own weapon clear and shot as lead spurted from the horseman’s six- shooter. Snyder swore savagely and went for his own gun. Orson shot again. Two of the horsemen were down, the third streaking up the road. Orson, smoking gun in hand, bent over the two still figures. The boy watched him, wide-eyed, awed. “Son, I’ll ride into town and get the sheriff. You stay here. When your brother comes back, explain what’s happened.” The boy nodded, choking. “Y— you’re not Mr. Dumont? You’re Jim Orson?” “That’s right,” Orson smiled and patted the boy’s head. “Come 200 miles on horseback to get a lesson in courage.” “You’re going back now?” “That’s right. I’m going back. You see, son, I accomplished what I come for.** Life Insurance Payments to American families by their life insurance companies were at e record $3,478,364,600 in 1949, some 40 per cent more than five years before. Mystic Finds Water in Dry Areas of India NEW DELHI, India—A 50-year-olc yogi, Jeevram Vyas, is solvinj India’s water problems. The min istry of agriculture says the mystic locates underground water sources with uncanny accuracy merely by closing his eyes and pointing. Now famous throughout India un der the cognomen of Pani Maharaj, which in Hindustani means “watei king,” Vyas has been made a mem ber of the Rajasthan underground water board at a salary of 500 rupees ($105) a month. Recently, when the tired yogi proposed to re tire to his former life of contem plation in the forest, the food and agriculture minister, K. M. Munshi, persuaded Pani Maharaj to stay on the job. Called National Asset Prime Minister Jawaharial Nehru, an extremely well-schooled and fair ly skeptical man, had Pani Maharaj brought to Delhi for a particular divining job, which the yogi per formed with spectacular success. This was at Faridabad, a refugee town near the capital, where it ap peared that water would have to be piped miles from the Jumna river at a cost of millions of rupees. Pani Maharaj went to Faridabad, look ed around, and showed where to dig. Today, says the ministry, eight tube wells on and about this spot are pouring out approximately 35,000 gallons of water an hour, making the costly pipeline unnecessary. Geologists are amazed^ The yogi works entirely without instruments, a ministry spokesman reported. “Sometimes he moves his hand across the map of a region, and pin points the source of water,” the spokesman said. “More often, sit ting in a room or traveling in a car, he ‘sees a cloud of haziness’ in the depths of the earth below, and with mathematical precision he indicates not only the quantity of water to be found but also whether it is sweet or saline.” Numerous Wells Found Numerous discoveries of under ground water by Pani Maharaj are fully confirmed by the government. One well dug at Samadri, in Rajas than, on the yogi’s advice, was said to be yielding 120,000 gallons an hour. The food and agriculture Min istry said he had located several sites for tube wells where the water- poor city of Jaipur could augment its supply. “In every case,” the ministry’s spokesman said, “water has been found.” Pani Maharaj first came into prominence when he began finding water in the dry, hungry-stricken state of Saurashtra, in far north western India. He moved to Jaipur and went about the great Rajputana desert, spotting new wells ms he went, it wasn’t long before the gov ernment, ignoring scientific, scoffers, took notice of him as a national as set. Where the yogi came from is un known, except that he spent many years practicing the arts of yoga in the forests of Girnar. Claims made by his admirers, who are legion now, that he can divine not only water but also oil and precious minerals deep in subterranean rock, are not confirmed officially. Vision Institute Reports TV Doesn’t Hurt Eyes ' COLUMBUS, O.—Doctors at the Institute for Research in Vision at Ohio university report you can stop worrying about television’s effect on your eyes. Dr. Glenn A. Fray and Dr. Arthur M. Culler, co-directors of the insti tute, report their findings after a survey of 2,125 doctors in eight states served by 37 television sta tions. “There is no widespread belief that television is contributing to changes in the static refraction of the eye, the status of muscle bal ance or to the development of such disorders as glaucoma and cataract, or to any serious impairment of the function and structure of the eye,” they reported. Some doctors said that a few pa tients complained of eye strain from television. That total averaged about 3.41 per cent. But most of the troubled television viewers complained soon after they got their set and their difficulties tended to disappear with continued use.
