HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1949-11-9, Page 2Don't Take Risks With Your Fuses "Mary, didn't you like the phy- I k e class today?" "Oh, it was all right. John, look at the lovely colbre in that cloud." "Electricity is a wonderful thing, brut we have to learn how to use it right." Jahn, let's go for a drive tonight down by the river." "O.K. Now, as we learned today, you have to have right size fuses fn each circuit or you might burn out the equipment or cause a fire I'1] bet a lot of fires are caused by using the wrong fuse." "Oh, bother!" "What? No, it isn't much bother. Just use 15 -amp fuses for all light circuits and check with the elec- trician on other circuits. I'm going to check on our fuses tonight," "Oh, John, how about our ride?" "We'll take a ride after I check on the fuses and do the chores." When John reached home, he asked his mother if the fuses in their light circuits were the right size. "1 suppose so. They haven't burned out for several years." "That may mean they are too large." "Don't worry. They did burn out several times a year or two ago, but Dad got some new ones. He said they wouldn't burn out." "I remember that. I'm going to check on them now." John ran out to the back porch where the fuse box was. He opened the box. "Tlhe circuits are marked. That helps. Let's see now: Here's the electric range. Wheel That's 35 amps. I'll have to check with the electrician an that once. "Now for the light circuits. Gosh! They are 30 amps. No wonder they never blew out." John pulled the main switch, I'm going to look at the wiring here in tlhe wall." The wall on the porch was part of a cabinet, with the light circuit wires going across the back—but easily seen when the cabinet doors were open. As John took hold of one of the wires, the insulation crumbled and a section of bare topper wire shone Though, No, there bad been no fire in John's home. But one could have started any time. It's impossible to say just when over -fusing will eause a fire. That depends on the amount of the overload carried in the wire and the frequency of that overload. But it is well to remember that a fire could start even at the time of the first overload. Usually, how- ever, it doesn't happen right away. So you figure the large fuse is Bate enough to use a little longer. After 4hat, you decide all the worry over fuses is poppycock—and the large fuse is there to stay. There is just one rule on fuses for light circuits. Always use fuses of 15 amperes ar less. Color In The Bahama Islands In the Bahamas is color of a magnificence unequalled elsewhere. The St. Lawrence River is mighty with its autumn -clad banks; Egypt is roofed with mother-of-pearl, and the Mediterranean is blue. But all these tones and tints are to be found in the Bahamas and a thousand morel Color in these islands never ceases its outpouring. Sky, flower, sea and fish are now flaming, now delicate, now bold, now soft in col- oring. Even the houses are washed in salmons, grays, creams and pinks. The roads are white .. . !."oder closer examination, the details of the picture prove as richly painted as the whole, Among the birds, the tall flamingo is feath- ered rose, and the humming birds are t•ameos of irridiscence. A score of butterflies caper down each gar- den lane, the most conspicuous clad in yellow silk with black facings. That large tree, the Pride of India, becomes a cloud of lavender poised ..Dove a lawn, when in flower. The frangipani has enamel leaves and slink, windmill blossoms. The cro- ton has orange leaves; the bougain- villea is a shawl of purple wherever 5t clings and the corallita a veil of rove. Honeysuckle, jessamine, night blooming cereus, morning glory, passion flower, each mingle color end fragrancein its turn, and in sone gardens poinsettias grow, —be limestone cays of the Ba- hamas are fringed with coral reefs and shoals. These rest upon white sand under water orystal clear, So transparent is the sea that a penny sould be discerned under 10 fath- oms. The sun, caressing the waters, weaves them into strands of em- erald, ochre, mauve and blue, From' the brown coral heaps rise sea flans, some yellow and others pur- ple, Among the coral swim Ash fan- tastically hued. A parrot fish has green teeth sand its body is plum and blue-green; the cow -pilot has black' and yellow bands; one grunt alas blue and gold stripes and an- other is covered with blue and yel- low lines, Other fish may pass, ver• si illion units, or blue, or green. Such is the gift of color which the Bahamas contribute to the beauty and culture of this planet, It was as 1f Borne apecimett of each shade of coloring painted by nature throughout the world had been collected and brought to These fair islands,—From "Bahamian Leta," lye Fobatt A. 'Curry, Copyright 3928, Short Shorthorn—Gene Holter shows off Ferdinand, one of the herd of dwarf cattle he found in a secret "lost canyon" near _Jamestown, N.D. Ferdinand is 28 inches high and weighs 225 pounds. Veterinarians say he's a perfect dwarf Hereford, about two years old. At that age, Ferdinand should be an excellent source of minute steaks and short ribs. THEFARM FOM When people drive past your farm today, they might say, "That's the Soanso place. Best farm in the county," But did you ever wonder what they'll be saying about it 10 or 15 years from now? * * * Recently, the editors of Wallaces' Farmer, published in Iowa, have been looking over a number of places that once were considered the "best farms in their comenuni- 'ties." This is what they report— "Borne of them look terrible nowt Buildings are run down. Soil la getting thin, Often, there is a one- year tenant on the place." * * * What happened? Did a to:ne.y strike or a drought hitt Nc. Did low prices wipe out the opera -sr? No, prices have been good. All that happened was this. The farmer who owned the place held on to it until his death. Then it was divided among several children. • * That is the customary way for farm operators to handle their prop- erty. It also—in some cases—is a good way to ruin a good farm. Take John X,,for example. We don't dare call names and counties in a case like this, But John is like a dozen other farmers we know. John died in 1928. One of his boys bought out the two girls and the other son, That started the boy on the farm with a heavy mortgage. He lost the place in 1932. The farm has been rented since. The community has lost a first-rate fasin family. The farm itself has gone downhill. John's boy, now farming else- wlhere, and getting along, had a hard time getting over his hart start. Bucky's 13ack . ,an 1ey "Bucky" Harris smiles broadly as he signs a three-year con- tract in Washington to manage the Washington Senators base- ball team, It will be the third time as the Senators' manager for Bucky, whose most recent job was with San Diego in the Pacific Coast League, Are there better ways to handle the job of passing on a farm from one generation to the next? We think so. There are two major points to watch: - 1. Get the settlement made early so that everybody will know how things are going to work out. Don't leave it to the executor of your estate. He's no smarter than you are. 2. In any disposition of the farm, use ar. appraisal based on 30 -year average yields and prices, Don't put ar infiate: ..-sate on the place. layi.e John X, 6c, calls the four children in. and says: "Your me and I art going to quit farming. I've had the farm appraised. If prices to next 30 years average out the way they have been the last 30 year;. it's :north about 820.100. We'll sell for that. Who warts it 10 live on' If only one of the ::ii; ren warts the farm, that makes it easy. If two. want it, they may have to match coins. But don't split it up unless it is plainly too big. If it is a good working unit naw, leave it that way. What terms? John X goes on: "I'll sell the machinery and live stock for cash. You can have the place on contract. I'll make you a rate of interest just a little below the land bank rate. "But you'll have to keep books and pay me one-half of the net in- come of the farm each year. That applies on the principal and interest. "If you have a bad year, your payment will be cut down accord- ingly, And I'll have to draw on my bonds to get along. But you won't be wrecked by heavy pay- ments.in a bad year." r * * It might be still better if John X, at 50, has his boy coming to work the farm on shares, And for John to say then: "Fifteen years from now, I71 probably retire. When I do, this Is the kind of deal I want to make with you. And I'll fix my will so that if anything happens to mc, that deal will start at once." 0 * * It's hard to ask outright. about things like this, A boy can't say, "Pop, some day you'll be hauled off by the undertaker. What happens to me and the fares then?" Yet a boy, working on the home farm, has a right to know wheat's ahead. Definite plans should be made for disposition of the farm when the father quits or dies, All amen are born equal. How they finish depends' on what they're equal to.

Of course fight gates have been "off" .for many months; but that was put down, by sports writ- ers and other "experts" as largely due to the sad lack of colorful and reasonably workmanlike leather heavers, especially in the "heavy- weight division, * * * But now the folks who set in cash at the box -offices are staying away from football—both the col- lege and honestly professional var- ieties—in increasingly large and painful quantities, Stadion sellouts, which were the rule during wartime and immediately post-wartitlte days, are the exception now. In sport, as in many other lines of trade, they're having a buyer's rather than a sell- er's market. And the colleges and promoters who went clean over- board building huge arenas and vast stadiums are beginning to worry more than a trifle. k V * Take the l: nieersity of Pennsyl- vania, for example. In Franklin Field, Penn has one of the biggest stadiums in the States, seating more than 78,000. Last fall they had sell- outs for practically every home game, with a total attendance of over 460,000 in seven contests. Their first two opponents this season were Dartmouth and Columbia, both gen- erally big drawing cards. Yet in the two games the paying clients numbered only around 70,000 all told. And that with a winning team! * * * This is merely one example, taken from many; and the reason we reten- tion it is not because we think that both our readers are especially in- terested in United States football, but because sports trends here have a way of following those south of the border. What is happening there is liable to be duplicated, before too long, right here. When that day conies, the reactions of certain pro- moters, in danger now of becom- ing round-shouldered from patting themselves on the back, will be worth watching. And hearing. From the first we have contended that major league hockey was more or less smacking easy -to -please cus- tomers in the face by cutting out the overtime, and allowing teams to settle for a draw. But, "Just look at the sellout crowds and mobs beg- ging for tickets" was the only reply we ever got. * * * Well, as already stated, what hap- pens in the States can, and frequent- ly does, occur right here. And if certain hockey bazzaars should some day be begging for patronage, instead of turning it more or less politely away, in our opinion the tie -game farce will have had no little to do with bringing about such a condition, • * * The National 'Hockey League season is still young, As we pound out these lines a total of twenty-six games have been played. And of those twenty-six, exactly ten—al- most forty per cent—have ended in draws. * * * Boxing bouts used to be—perhaps still are — advertised with a line reading something like FIFTEEN ROUNDS TO A DECISION, * * * If things keep up as they are going, we suggest that professional hockey games ahould be billed SIXTY MINUTES TO NO DE- CISION.'
