Grandma’s Sayings
Every American boy should learn
to shoot a 22 caliber rifle, says
Jack Lacy, famed marksman and
gun tester who has taught thou
sands of youngsters to shoot safe
ly. With summer coming along,
thousands of boys will soon have
the oportunity to learn if they have
help from Dad, thinks Lacy.
Learning to shoot a rifle safely
in youth is an investment that will
produce lifelong benefit and pleas
ure, according to Lacy, whose
avocation is testing high-accuracy
target rifles for the Winchester Re
peating Arms Company division of
Olin Industries, Inc., New Haven,
Conn.
With education in gun handling,
gun accidents are minimized.
Knowing how to shoot a gun safe
ly gives any youngster, regardless
of size or strength, the opportunity
to shoot competitively on an equal
basis with almost any other boy
of any size or strength. Thus, says
Jack Lacy whose thousands of pro
teges have never had a gun acci
dent.
If Dad is a shooter, a boy’s prin
cipal hurdle—getting proper instruc
tion —is overcome. If Dad doesn’t
know how to shoot, it is still Dad’s
job to make sure the proper course
of instruction is made available and
followed.
One of the best sources for in
formation is the free material from
the Sporting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers’ Institute, 343 Lex
ington Avenue, New York 16, N.Y.
This tells how and where to build
a rifle range indoors or out.
Of course the best short cut is
to join a rifle club. Write the Na
tional Rifle Association, Scott Cir
cle, Washington, D.C., for the loca
tion of your nearest rifle club.
Whatever you do, says Lacy, a
boy’s first step in learning to shoot
is to know the Ten Commandments
of Safety and then to put them into
constant practice. Here are the Ten
Commandments:
1. Treat every gun with the re
spect due a loaded gun. This is the
cardinal rule of gun safety.
2. Carry only empty guns, taken
down or with the action open, into
your automobile, camp, and home.
3. Always be sure that the barrel
and action are clear of obstructions.
4. Always carry your gun so that
you can control the direction of the
muzzle, even if you stumble.
5. Be sure of your target before
you pull the trigger.
6. Never point a gun at anything
you do not want to shoot.
7. Never leave your gun unattend
ed unless you unload it first.
8. Never climb a tree or a fence
with a loaded gun.
9. Never shoot at a flat, hard sur
face or the surface of water.
10. Do not mix gunpowder and
alcohol.

Keeping Fly Dry
Keeping a fly dry—good and dry
—after you start fishing with it is
quite a chore. Qne way is to make
a lot of false casts—and these are
pretty effective if you’ll pop the fly
at the end of a false cast—like
cracking a whip. Only of course,
you have to be careful not to pop
the fly so hard it comes off the
leader. Another way to dry out a
fly is to blow on it. Still another
way is to use a piece of Kleenex
like a blotter to soak up the water,
and then blow on the fly to fluff
out the hackles. All of these things
fail after you hook and land a fish,
because the slime from the fisn
gets on the feathers—and when that
happens, there isn’t any way I know
of to bring the fly back to its origi
nal fresh, fluffy appearance. The
best cure I've found for this is to
put on a new fly every time you
land a trout.
Maybe that’s extravagant—but
no more extravagant than shoot
ing a new shell every time another
duck comes over the blind. And
besides, new dry flies catch a lot
more fish than old, draggly ones.
That’s true because they float bet
ter.
With the line and leader all
dressed up and ready to float, the
next thing is how to cast it. And
this is just as important as the
dressing—if not more so. Every
cast of a dry fly should be made
with enough slack to permit the
entire line to float on the surface of
the water.
AAA
Worm Fishing
The easiest way to fish with
worms is to cast up and across
the stream. When you feel the bait
hit bottom, pull gently until you
release it, then let the current
carry it along until it hangs again.
This allows the worm to bump
along in a natural way. The cur
rent and the action you give your
tight line keeps it moving prop
erly. If a strike fails to produce a
hooked fish, try again in the same
spot.

IN DES MOINES, IA., seven
lucky Horizon Club members of
senior high school age, accom
panied by three counselors, last
summer paddled a 24-foot war
canoe 35 miles down the Dec
Moines river. Sandbars and rapids
added thrills to the trip which in
volved five steady hours of hard
paddling.
When an experienced camper in
Portland, Ore., reaches the ripe old
age of 14, she gets to live in a
unit of tree-houses.
An added zest goes with outdoor
cooking in Dickinson, N. D., where
Camp Fire Girls prepare frogs-leg
dinners from frogs they catch them
selves.
Even Blue Birds, who are seven-
to-ten-year-olds and the youngest
members of Camp Fire Girls, are
imbued with pioneer spirit. They
love to cook on tin can stoves or
on sticks over tin open fire. Their
pride in their own efforts produces
an enthusiasm that occasionally
far exceeds results. As one little
San Diego Blue Bird said last year
while she munched happily on a
badly “sunburned” bread twist, “I
wish my another could cook like
this.”
In a recent issue of The Camp
Fire Girl, Ernest F. Schmidt, di
rector of Schiff Outdoor Activities
in Mendham, N.J., gave Camp Fire
campers two rules to follow when
hiking.
. The first is to stop, look and listen
if they become lost: stop to collect
thoughts; look for landmarks, and
listen for sounds of trains, auto
mobiles or running water.
The second suggestion is always
to carry with them a Litepac Lost
Kit of emergency tools. The kit,
which each girl can assemble her
self, should include a small com
pass, snare wire and fishing tackle,
matches, bouillon cubes, paper and
pencil, and razor blade. All these
articles fit into a cigarette-type
plastic case, or a typewriter ribbon
box, either of which can be water
proofed with nail polish or shellac
cut 50 per cent with alcohol.

THE
FICTION
CORNER
O.K. BY HER
By Richord H. Wilkinson
T HE MAN who had rented Freda
the outboard motor told her that
any fool could run one of the things.
However, right now, drifting in the
wrong direction in the middle of
Mirror lake,
with the sun
beating down un
mercifully, she
would have giv- 1
en a good deal
to have the man’s neck between
her two hands. Just for luck she
gave the crank one more spin. The
motor went “chugurg, chugurg’’—
and died.
“Damn!” exclaimed Freda. She
was so furious she could have cried.
Instead she stood Up and began 1 to
wave wildly at a boat that had sud
denly appeared around an island
point. The boat kept serenely on
its course and Freda was about to
give up yelling and abandon herself
to fate when the other craft swerved
and headed in her direction.
Two minutes later a black-haired
youth was grinning up at her
pleasantly. “Trouble?” he asked.
“There’s not a thing wrong with
this motor,” said Freda, “except
that it won’t run.”
The young man climbed aboard.
He had a wrench in his hand. “I’ll
fix it,” he said.
Freda thought he was pretty
confident, but a moment later she
changed her mind.
“Strainer got clogged.” he said.
“I’m an expert on outboards. My
business is retrievin’ ’em.”
“Retrieving them?”
“Sore. Plenty of motors lost

Gen. Charles Dawes Served Nation in Many Ways
By Wright A. Patterson
T he late gen. Charles g.
DAWES was an interesting
character, a man of many varied
experiences. The general, and his
brother, Rufus, were almost wholly
responsible for the holding in 1933
Chicago’s Century of Progress ex
position. A group of the .city’s
wealthy men had proposed that such
an exposition be held at that time
—and then the depression broke.
The proposers objected to fi
nancing an exposition at such
a time. The two Dawes broth
ers insisted that, having been
announced, the show mast go
on. Daring the days it was held
I watched Gen. Dawes on many
occasions stand In front of a
numbering machine in the ad
ministration building as it
checked off the visitors, one by
one, as they passed through the
paid admission turnstiles. In the
end, there were enough such
admissions to enable the ex
position to pay ont. finder its
charter it could not make a
profit, bat there was enough
left after all bond'holders were
paid, pins interest, to rase all
the buildings, and to beautifully
landscape the five mile long
lake front park through which
rolls every day many thousands
of automobiles from within and
without the city.
That is one of Chicago’s beauty
spots, and for it the people of the
city can thank the Century of Prog-
reta.
Gen. Dawes served his country.
As a soldier, he was purchasing
agent of the American army in
France during the first World War.
As a civilian he served as vice
president, as ambassador to Eng
land, as first director of the budget
and comptroller of the treasury.
The Dawes bank. Central Trust of
Illinois, was the first big—$13 mil
lion-borrower of the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation, and every
doUar, plus interest, was fully re
paid. Through the years he spent in
Chicago he was a leader in the
city’s promotion. For many years a
man of wealth, he died compara
tively poor.
*
It is broadly rumored in Washing
ton that other heads than that of
Douglas MacArthur are to. fall un
der the blows of President Tru
man’s execution axe. Rumor has it
that J. Edgar Hoover, director of
the F.B.I. is included in the next
list of victims. Hoover and the
F.B.I. have beeq largely responsible
for the conviction of juch Russian
spies as Alger Hiss.
As political misadventure, the
removal of the" popular F.B.L
director would be second only
to thst of the now immortal
MacArthur. It would bo resented
by the American people, and
cause them to think. If not ex
press, their opinions as to which
side of the iron curtain the
President and his advisers, are
standing. Politically, it
complete the job so definitely
started by the summary re
moval of MacArthur.
It is possible the disasterous re
sults of the MacArthur decapita
tion may result in staying the hand
of the President in the case of J.
Edgar Hoover. His party cannot
afford another such result, especial
ly between now and the 1952 elec
tions. Should the people receive an
other slap in the face within the
next few months at the institaga-
tion of Dean Acheson, we might as
well save the expense of the next
election.

The administration at Washington
continuously insists we will offer
nothing that can be considered as
appeasement to' Communism, but at
the behest of England, the grand-
daddy of all appeasers, and the in
sistence of the socialistically in
clined Dean Acheson, the President
fired the one man more generally
feared by Stalin and his Red
hordes than any one else. That was
appeasement, and the American
people gave ample evidence that
they did not like it.
*
It would seem that it might be a
good thing for President Truman
that the recall system does not ap
ply to the presidency.
*
The day will come when Dean
Acheson will need a safe hiding
place if he la to escape the presi
dential hair brush.
Freda told Len Curtain her
name without even stopping to
think.
aud sell ’em. My name’s Len
Curtain. What’s yonrs?”
“Freda Brandon,” said Freda,
without even stopping to think.
“Freda Brandon, eh? You’re the
girl who’s going to marry Ray
Hubbard. Well, they say money
will do anything; but deliver me,
WeU. so long.”
Freda didn’t catch her breath
until she got back to camp. Her
mother had news.
“Darling! Ray wired he’s com
ing up! He’s arriving tomorrow.”
Freda’s spirits sank. “Goody,
goody,” she said sourly.
Freda set off in the outboard the
next morning 10 minutes before
Ray was due to arrive. Thirty min*
utes later she saw a familiar look
ing boat anchored in a cove and
camp up alongside.
“Hi!” grinned Len Curtain
“How’s things?”
“Fine. Say, look, what do you do
in the winter?”
“Oh, this and that.” Len hauled
in his grappling iron. “Falsa
alarm. Nothing here. How about
anchoring that scow and taking a
ride around with me?”
Ray Hubbard was waiting on the
dock when she got back. He didn’t
like the idea of her not being at
camp to greet him, but she didn’t
care.
T HE DAY after Ray departed
Len Curtain came into the dock
and Freda went down to see what
he wanted.
“It’s a funny thing, but I’m in
love. Will you marry me?”
Freda almost fell into the water.
“Goodness! I’m going to marry
Ray.”
“Pshaw! You don’t love Him.
Marry me and we’ll have fun.”
Freda caught herself won
dering if that wouldn’t be a
good idea. She laughed, sound
ing like a frog with a sore
throat.
“Marry you and fish for out
boards all summer—and do what
in the winter?”
Ray grinned. “There’s no fishing
in the winter. We’d get along. I’ve
just sold my grappling magnet in
vention to the Sea Demon outboard
people. That’s only the beginning
of the things I can invent.”
Freda blinked. Good heavens,
was he going to be as startling as
that all his life. ‘TU have to think
it over.”
“Give you five minutes. Hop in
and we’ll ride around in the mean
time.”
Freda heard of people being hyp
notized, and she guessed that was
what was wrong with her. She
hopped in and they rode around.
When five minutes was up Len
Curtain kissed her and she kissed
him back and that settled the
business. v'
HOME TOWN PUNT
Corn to Fowl
Switch
Big Dividends
INDEPENDENCE, Iowa — A
switch from com to chicken has
really paid off for the Independence
Canning Corporation—and for In
dependence (population 4,300).
It’s paid off for the company be
cause now the plant runs full steam,
the year ’round,. instead of for a
few hurried weeks during the sweet
com season. Business is good
enough to require two-shift opera
tion during part of the summer.
It’s paid off for the small town, be
cause 85 people now have year-
round jobs at the canning plant.
Four years ago, there were only 25
Jobs there.
“When we purchased the plant in
1946,” Darrel Forsman, general
manager, said recently, “we
thought we had a really good day
If we turned out 1200 cans of whole
chicken.” Now, according to Fores-
man’s best guess, the plant averfcg*
es 9000 cans of chicken and turkey
a day, besides preparing pan-ready
fryers, fowl for fricassee, and tur
keys done up in pliofilm bags.
Farmers Benefit
The plant has paid off for the
farmers of the area, too. During the
season, the company buys all their
poultry within 100 miles of Inde
pendence. When it slows up, they
reach out further.
At times they buy chickens from
as far as away as Tennessee, New
York and Texas. Each year it Ifn-
ports several carloads from Can-
a da. *
In 1946, the first year the present
owners had the plant, they canned
com and began to remodel the
property fox; canning poultry. The
next three years, they rapidly ex
panded the poultry volume, but
stopped to can com each season.
Then they realized the peak de
mand for poultry conflicted with
the sweet corn harvest Last year
they eliminated canned com from
their products, and began to devote
all their facilities to canning chick
en and turkey.
P, L. South, director of sales, re
ports it is remarkable the volume
of canned chicken business the firm
enjoys in rural Iowa, where fresh
chickens are available at all times
of the year. The firm’s largest vol
ume, however, is from large cities.
The firm also exports to several for-
eign countries. \
Products Go Overseas
The company’s chicken products
go overseas west as well as east.
Last winter, the company received
a letter from « soldier in Korea,
telling how much he enjoyed a can
of chicken in his Christmas .pack
age. (He was sent a case of chick
en, with, the company’s compli
ments.)
A sizable amount of the com
pany’s production goes to service
men through more conventional
channels. “We have filled several
army contracts, since the outbreak
in Korea,” the' manager reports,
“and we’ll do more.”
The Iowa Development Commis
sion, in a recent report on the
steady growth of the state’s indus
try, points out that the Independ
ence company is an example of
what industry in the home towns
can do for the community. It is an
example that could be followed by
many small towns now in search of
ways to provide their communities
with a balanced economy.

No More School Where
Mary Broke the Rules
SUDBURY, Mass.—No longer will
children study in the little school-
house where Mary and her little
