HERRIN, ILL.—Lester Ogden has
no legs but he's working a 70
acre southern Illinois farm.
The 37-year-old World War II am

possible trick with an assist from
two gadget-minded mechanics who
rigged a regular tractor so Ogden
runs it only with his two hands.
Ogden admitted a bit of difficulty
at first in operating the vehicle but
has no trouble now. He straps him
self to the seat with a leather belt
and, in his own words, "Lets her
go."
He held a technician fifth grade
rating as a radio operator and has
a Purple Heart and several battle
stars on which he is reluctant to
talk. He lost his legs on a Pacific
island in 1944.

artificial legs, he said.
Ogden also drives an automobile
especially rigged for him by himself
and his brother, Howard. He gets
around in a wheelchair that he takes
with him in the car. He has an
outboard motor boat for fishing, but
he takes a companion along to lug
the motor.
In addition to tilling the land, he
also is feeding 17 cattle.
Ogden plans to open an automo
bile service station.

The Picnic Was
a "Hug" Success!
Wi I
Our local Wild Life League went
on a picnic Saturday, and I went
along to cover it for the Clarion.
Monday, folks kept stopping me,
and saying: "Must have gotton out
of hand, that picnic!"
"Nonsens'' " I says. "It was
mighty pleasant and congenial.
Just beer and hot dogs, cheese and
cider." And then they show me the
headline reading: "WILD WIFE
PICNIC HUG SUCCESS."
Of course it was Elmer, my type
setter, who had made the misprints :
But is my face red! It's only be
cause folks are so temperate and
well-behaved in our town, that they
could afford to take the whole thing
as a joke.
From where I sit, even a news
paper editor's entitled to a few
mistakes. And since I reported
that they served a moderate bev
erage like beer, I'm sure nobody
thinks the picnic was the least bit
wild, or anything but a huge suc
cess—and I mean huge!
