Project Workman Dies
In Car Fire‘
Joel Daniel walker was born in
Texas, Jan. 18, 1911, and passed
away on June 20, 1943, the result
of an accident Saturday night.
Walker, with three other work
men on the Richlandproject, had
returned from town intoxicated.
He was left asleep in the car by
the others during the night. It is
thought a fire was started from a
cigaret. The car was destroyed
and the victim probably died from
fsuffocation. A broken arm led to
‘trfi belief of foul play at first, but
This theory has been discarded.

In ‘peacetime this mineral had

Suggest Six-Point Plan
To Boost Milk Output
The shortage of milk and milk
products resulting from huge new
demands by the army, lease-lend.
and civilians offers a direct chalo
lenge to (lan ,
To bring about the much-needed
increase in milk production. a six
point emergency program has been
suggested:
Increase the present cow popula
tion, especially on existing dairy
farms. by bringing in milking cows
and heifers from other areas where
such a situation is practical.
Breed the cows now on hand to
good dairy bulls and properly grow
ing out the heifer calves; aléo
give more emphasis to proper feeding
’and management.
Keep production records on all
dairy cows. x
Improve the old pastures and seed
new ones until at least 1% acres at
good pasture are available, for each
mature dairy animal. .
Grow more and better legume hay
on every farm. .
Maintain the present milk routes
2 and develop new ones as feasible.
Landscaping around rural homes
is a valuable aid in checking fire
hazards and reducing the appalling
loss 0! life and property exacted
yearly from farm homes. Broad
leat evergreen, shrubs planted to
form screens and borders often are 3
eflective barriers against grass fires
spreading from fields or pastures to
farm buildings». Broadleat- ever
greena when planted about the foun
dation. also may serve to stop a,
tire on the la'wn from spreading to
the house. Clearing away rubbish”
removing dead plants. trellises cov~
ered with dead vines. cutting'
away dead portions 0! trees or
slfi-übs. and stacking wood a' reason
able distance trom the house are fire
prevention measures which also help
to improve the landscaping.

The giant guns of modern battle
ships have a bore of fifteen inches.
Imagine a gun with .a bore of 'l2
inches-.-that is six feet! This was
the actual size of the now almost
forgotten rock canon of Malta. In
the days when the Knights Templar
had Malta they cut embrasures in
the cliffs. leaving in each a huge
block of rock. This block was hoi
lowed out into the shape of a gun.
It was loaded with a whole barrel of
powder, plugged with a wad of wood.
while the projectiles were iron can
non'balls or stones. weighing in all
a couple of tons. There were about
50 of these infernal machines. and

Thrills at Close Brush
With the Devil
; Shall we allow the carnivals to
come? Why not? So long as the
city dads wield their full authority.
lit should be no trouble to keep
them within the bounds of de
cency. Who doesn‘t experience sj
little thrill at those magic words:
“There‘s a carnival in town?" And
what child doesn't utter shrill
whooops of delight at the thought
of the merry-go-round. the terris
wheel and all the other attrac
tions that go to make up the show?
And. thought some of the adult
attractions may be, at times. on
the shady side of decency, yet
even the most Puritsnicsl-minded
of us secretly harbor a thrill of
satisfaction in having brushed so
hilariously and harmlessly close to
the devil. Let's have our little
carnivals.
