a demonstration on dust explo-
sions._
"Our survey showed that we
lose 10 to 20 barns a year through
dust explosions,. Loss of a barn
can mean loss of Income for that
year, and sometimes a farmer's
life," Wright built a small wood-
en box with, a glass window In

air, the resulting explosion blew
the box to bits,
"Dust explosions occur when

Ontario, we also lose 15 to 20

SPITE FENCES
In 1961, heavyweight champion
Floyd Patterson and his family
moved into a $90,000 house in
Yonkers, N.Y, becoming pioneer
Negro residents of a plush sec-
tion known as Beech Hill, Next
door lived a dentist who, as Pat-
terson interpreted it, went out
of his way to be unfriendly by
erecting a 6-foot fence between
the two backyards, Learning
that his neighbor planned to
move, Patterson last week paid
$300 to have the fence extended
to the front, where its jarring
presence might easily lower the
market value of the adjoining
house, The dentist fumed. "Touch
on my property," he warned the
fence-builders, "and you better
have a court order for It." When
he heard that, Patterson grimly
told the workmen: "If he touches
anything over here, he'd better
have an ambulance." How long
will the fence stayup? Patterson
said frankly: "As soon as the
new people move in, I'll take it
down."

Not A Publicity
Stunt, Jerry Says
For comedian Jerry Lewis, it
was no laughing .matter —' at
first. Missing from his Manhattan
hotel suite, Lewis told .
was $185,000 'worth of jewelry
which he and his wife had lugged
from Hollywood, The stuff was
insured, of course, "but you can't
measure what it was worth in
heart value." To a newsman who
tried to cheer him up with a
small joke, Lewis said somberly:
"I can't be whimsical or irrespon-
sible about a tragedy like this."
Then, too, his wife happened to
be "a very emotional Italian
woman who takes these, things
seriously." But network .time is
a great healer, and by the next
night trouper Lewis was gallant-
ly twitting his own loss •on TV,
as host of the "Tonight" show,
One thing he wanted to make
dear, though, was that the rob-
13ery was no publicity stunt. As
Jerry put it: "There are people
who think no real things happen
to people in our business. They
think eirerything is phony."

opinion of agricultural engineers,
would like to see legislation-
passed in Canada like that of a
recent United Kingdom law,
which forbids the operation of
tractors by children under 13,
He says, "Personally, I have
known farm people to be prose-
cuted and jailed for endangering
the morals of a child but I've
never known charges laid against
anyone whose child was injured
or killed operating or riding a
powerful machine made for the
use of adults."
Smith deplores the kind of ac-
cident which resulted in the
death of a two-year-old Mani-
toba boy. The child was put on
the tractor, alone, to amuse him-
self. His small, exploring fingers
accidentally pressed the starter
button and, as the machine had
been wrongly left in gear, it
lurched forward and hurled the
boy from the seat. "Adult ex-
ample and adult behavior have a
tremendous bearing on children's
safety," he says bitterly. "Con-
sider the little farm boy who
tried, to quicken a bonfire with
gasoline„as he'd seen grownups
do; he turned into a flaming
torch, dying in his tracks as he
ran around the yard." Smith is
by no means the only safety-
conscious official on the farm
scene. ,In Alberta, a provincial
safety council, with hefty sup-
port from the provincial govern-
ment, does a steady year-round
job of accident prevention.

LESSON Nowadays when Harley Street
regarded as the home of the
great medical specialists, It Is
hard, to associate the district with
a sordid murder.
But before This famous street
became exclusively medical, all
London was startled by the die.
covery of a body in a Harley
Street cellar, The occupant of
the house, a Mr. Henriques
'
a
very well-known and respected
individual, had lived there for
about twenty years and was quite
above suspicion.
The first sign that something
was wrong was a disagreeable
smell coming from the vaults
underneath the pavement, which
had been noticed for some eight-
een months or so,
Workmen came to re-lay the
drains, but this did not remove
the odor, which in due course
became so bad that a footman—
Mr. William Tinapp, a German
whose job it was to clean the
boots in the cellar — complained
to the butler, Mr, Spendlove,
Ile decided to investigate, Un-
derneath a large galvanized iron.
Cistern supported on a brick
staging he found a barrel that
seemed to be filled with empty
bottles and old paint pots,
When 'the barrel was pulled
out into the light and examined,
Spendlove received the fright of
his life — there was a body in it!
Police took the barrel and its
gruesome contents to the mortu-
ary, where Home Office experts
discovered that the corpse was
that of a woman of about forty
to forty-five, four feet nine
inches in height, and dressed in
cheap underclothes,
They estimated that she had
been dead. for about two years.
There was a stab wound near her
heart, and traces of chloride of
lime both on her body and in
the cask, writes Philip Gaute in
"Tit-Bits."
When police searched the cel-
lar„they'found a table-knife, two
old pokers; pieces, of rag and
some rope,
Inquiries revealed that a but-
ler named Henry Smith, who had
left the occupant's employment
in November, 1878,, had asked
the odd-job man, John Greene,'
to re-lay some bricks' in one of
the cellar floors, When Henry
Smith was called to testify at the
inquest, he appeared in the uni-
form of the 3rd• Surrey Regi-
ment, which he had-'since joined.
He stated that' he. had been dis-
charged for drunkenness about
three, years 'before the, discovery
of the body,
Actually, as evidence showed,,
it was only a little' over eighteen
months. '
Why had he wanted the,bricks
relaid? Well, he answered, he
had got a man to dig a hole in
the cellar,' but''-this was to bury
a, mass of stale bread.
A.Mrs.' Jewry, ,however, who
had :been cook at the' time, de-
nied that there was ever any

A email group of business
executives and professors of
business administration dined
together at the Harvard eltfb• of
Boston the other evening, and
lingered around the dinner table
until 11 pen.
The discussion topic that held
them op to that late hour was
"ethics in business,"
it was a private session among
friends, Many of them had gred-
uated together several years ago
'from Harvard Business School's
Advanced Management P r o,
gram, and were gathered in
Boston for a class reunion. 12a
the quiet, relaxed exchange they
probed for answers to a prob-
lem that usually seems gray and
ill-defined,
"Who of us is not, guilty of
giving gifts because a. eonepeti-
tor has done it?" asked one exe-
cutive,
"What do you do if a superior
asks you to do something you
feel is not completely honest? I
tried standing for my principles
and it got me into trouble," said
another,
Gordon Burl Affleck, pur-
chasing agent for the Mormon
Church in Salt Lake City, Utah,
and past president of the Na-
tional Association of Purchasing
Agents, had been invited by the
group to speak, He reported that
his church, which, he said, has
business interests in Many fields,
no longer accepts gifts from any
salesmen.
He said this had been welcom-
ed with increased respect from
the sales people involved, Fur-
ther, Mr, Affleck reported, a
survey published in Purchasing
magazine in December, 1957, in-
dicated that 75.6 per cent of the
purchasing people and 76 per
cent of sales people polled
"would like to see gift-giving
eliininated entirely,"
Sales and purchasing people
who have eliminated it have not
suffered, he said. "In most cases,
the vendors appreciated the at-
titude (against gift-giving) and
determined stand against this
unsound business practice."
According to the same survey,
Mr. Affleck said, business gifts
in the United States are esti-
mated at $500,000,000 to $1,000,-
000,000 a year. "And that is big
business!" the speaker exclaim-
ed.
Mr. AEC eel< lashed out at
' firms which disguise gift-giving
by informing a customer that a
gift to "a- worthy cause" has
been made in his name. Often
'the notification comes in a
,Christmas card "filled with good
will and high sounding words"
of the season, writes Richard
Neff' in the Christian Science
Monitor.
Whether the causes are
worthy or not, "I (cannot) see
why these firms should use my
name, your name, the name of
my firm and the names of your
firms to gain good will and
public acceptance by this devi-
ous method of making a gift. . .
The so-called 'givers' are not
contacted in advance, They do
not make the gift. . . The ven-
dor makes the contribution and
decides how much. He decides
"to whom it is to be given, when,
and how," he stated.
Mr, Affleok told of a well-
established purchasing agent

Between the hours of 10 am.
and twelve noon, five days a
week, the President and First
Lady are reminded that their
home is public property. On
Sundays the mansion is theirs;
on Mondays it is taken over by
the cleaners who prepare it for
the next week's onslaught, Dur-
ing the ten hours a week when it
is open to the public, the White
House is invaded by an endless
procession of tourists for whom
it is history, government, Wash-
ington, and patriotism all rolled
into one. At the height of the
season they number more than
,:',10,000 a day in a . queue that
winds outside the East Gate and
halfway along the eight-foot
steel fence that encircles the
grounds. The number of Ameri-
cans ,who tour the White House
each year is now greater than
the total population of• the
United States when the man-
sion was first tenanted.
These touring visitors repre-
sent the widest possible extremes
of Americana. They come in
mink coats and sweat shirts,
they come in Daks and blue
jeans and cashmeres, and they
come in sneakers, But however
different their dress, they have
a common , denominator in their
possessive pride and open awe.
Whether they be one-time -tour-
ists or nonpartisan' employees of
various administrations, there is
a lump in the throat of the most
sophisticated with the realiza-
tion that part of this is theirs.

The following is a continua-
tion of article "Death on the
Farm — the Crop That Never
Fails" by Thelma Dickman and
taken from the Imperial Oil Re-
view."
Sofar, at least three provinces
are providing a well-rounded
program of accident prevention
for farmers Alberta, Ontario
and . Saskatchewan. The pro-
grams differ, because local con-
ditions differ, but the objective
is the same.
Saskatchewan's Christian
Smith lists' four needs in. the
fight for farm (and-urban) acci-
dent prevention.
1. Comprehensive and detailed
national accident statistics, by
age groups, sex, place and type
of accident and occupational '
groups. "You can't light a prob-
lem without understanding it
fully," Smith says,
• 2. A-national voluntary safety
•organization with a comprehen-
sive 'program for ,all accident
prevention, similar to the, Na-
tional Safety Council of the U,S.
(Not all'provinces agree on .this,
however. Some feel that the pro-
gram must be geared to local
conditions and that, in the, final,
analysis, safety must become a
family. project.)
3. Support and leadership by
the Canadian government,
through health and agriculture
departments.
4. Provision of safety educa-
tion materials, films, national
TV and radio programs about_
accident prevention, not just
traffic accidents. (Imperial Oil
now distributes Farm. Tractor
Safety: a Family Affair. The film
portrays dramatically how one
farm community got together to
combat accidents.)
Smith, Who gets hopping mad
when he describes sloppy- safety
practices, was the moving power
behind Child Safety Day, start-
ed in Saskatchewan in 1954. It's
held on the first Sunday in May.
Last year it was adopted as a
national day in Canada, Some
'U.S. organizations think it should
be held internationally.
A few years ago, Smith and
his department saw from their
hospital insurance statistics that
50 per cent of all farm accidents
in their province happened in
barnyards — and half of these
accidents indicated poor house-
keeping. For instance, a four-
year-old, left to play alone in a
tbolhouSe, knocked over a liar Of
weedkiller that was more than
60 per cent carton tetrachloride.
Two Weeks after inhaling „the
poisonous fumes, she Was dead.
Smith's department promptly
instituted an annual spring
farmyard cleanup campaign, - *
Realizing that farm mothers,
With more responsibilities than
most city mothers, are often too
busy to oversee young children,

farmers free sketches of inex-
