HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1949-10-13, Page 2Lightning Struck Once -Jeweler B. E. Walzel sincerely hopes
the old adage that lightning never strikes twice in the same
place is true. Because, the place where lightning struck once
was \'\ alzel's head. The bolt passed through his body', stripped
a watch front his wrist -the shattered parts of which Walzel
examines above -and cane out his heel. The only injury was
. a slight burn on the heel,

Barts don't blow down -accord-
ing to a well-known building spe-
cialist -they blow up. And the
reason they do so, he says, is be-
cause they haven't been properly
anchored to the ground; Just in
rase some of you plight be inter-
ested, I'm passing along certain
recommendations made by J. C.
Andros, the aforementioned spe-
cialist.
* * *
He claims that there's no real
trick about anchoring a building
properly. The whole trouble is
that, because the building seems
heavy enough to stay in place by
itself, some builders get a trifle
et reless-to their later regret.
* * *
For concrete walls, he recom-
mends anchor bolts six feet apart,
and extending down 12 inches into
the wall. For concrete block or
tile walls, sink the anchor bolts
down through at least two courses
or the blocks. And make certain
that you fill the holes around the
bolts with concrete.
For frame buildings, Andros re-
commends the 'triple -grip" type of
framing anchor. With this sheet
metal connector, you can connect
the joints at sill, plate and ridge:
It's blade of zinc -coated sheet steel,
18 -gauge, and comes proivded with
nail holes, Follow these sugges-
tions, Andros claims, and your farm
buildings won't blow up -or down.
They'll stay in place.

"Why do boys leave the farm?"
is a question almost as ancient u
the one about "How old is Ann?"
-and is the subject of an interest-
ing survey recently made among
several hundred land owners in the
Middle West.
* * *
And, when you come to think it
over, there's few questions of more
vital importance to our nation. How
many young farmers, for example,
in your neighborhood are operating
the very sante farms their fathers
did a few years ago? And of these,
jr*sat how many have stayed on the
land -except for time at school or
In the armed services -since boy-
hood days?
* * *
Not very many, you'll probably
discover Yet, according to one
commentator, we act as if it were
the usual thing for a boy to grow
tap on his father's farm, learn how
to work it, and take his father's
place. In actual practice, there are
a lot of things that can upset this
pattern.
* * 'k
Sometimes the farm is a one-man
farts. The boy, grown up, can't
stake a living on it unless the old
man gets off. And the fold man,"
at 40 or 50 years old, isn't ready to
step out for a young man of only
20 or 30.
* * :k
Sometimes the farm is a second-
rate rented farm,, with the father
not doing too well. So the boy
looks for a better job in town,or
in working for a more skillful or
more lucky farm operator.
* * *
Sometimes the farm is big
enough to support two families.
And, the boy is urged to stay on
the farm. But he leaves anyway.
* * *
Among several hundred land-
owners surveyed, over half worked
in town for some time before they
became owners. Others, who event-
ually returned to the house farm,
worked or rented away from the
home farm for years before they
same back to buy.
* * *
When the farm is big, when both
father and son can find room for
their energies on the place, why
can't father -son plans be worked
out?.
We hear of plenty of reasons.
Here are two:
1, No definite plans for transfer
of ownership or control. Too much
talk like this: "You stay with me,
Jahn, and I'll see you don't lose by
R." That's no substitute for a defi-
nite contract.
2. The old man bosses too much,
is too resistant to new ideas. That's
what the boy thinks. The boy is
too brash, wants to try too many
"fool new ideas." That's what the
old man thinks. The two can't get
along.
For one reason or another, many
boys rent away from home, come
back only when the old man is will-
ing to give up control and move to
town.
Two generations on the same
farm stili have trouble living to-
gether.
* * *
Maybe we need ways to train
boys from poor farms for good jobs
in town or on farms. Then help
later to start some to farming. For
boys _from good farms, maybe the
problem is to show old men and
young men how to get along to-
gether.
* * *
That's quite a job, Adam's boys
left home because they couldn't
stand the old man bossing them,
And Adam's great -great -great -etc. -
grandchildren still act in the same
Way.

Every Sunday our esteemed con-
temporary, The New York Times,,
publishes a sort of country -wide
"round -up" made up of dispatches
from special correspondents.. The
purpose of this feature is to picture
for its readers .lust what the people
of "the greatest country on earth"
are thinking and talking about. It's:
always mighty interesting reading
and seldom more so than the latest'
sample which we saw, dated Oc-
tober Second.
* * 'k
,i Before passing along to you a
few, excerpts' from this piece, we
would remind you of a coupe of
matters. During the previous week,
the people of the U.S.A. had just
become aware that Mr. Stalin and
his boys were possessed of the atom
bomb=possibly the most devastat-"
ing bit of newsto break in half
a century or more, Also, there
loomed on the horizon -and not too
distant a horizon at that the steel
and coal strikes, threatening to tie
up the affairs of the entire con-
tinent tighter than Harry Houdini
was ever tied,,
k * '
So here, 'according to The New
York Times,'was what occupied the
minds of the citizenry at such a
juncture -and a similar survey here
in Canada would probably have
brought similar results.
* * *
"New England. The attention of
New Englanders was occupied this
week with television and radio
broadcasts of the American League
pennant race to the virtual exclu-
sion of all other topics: People
appeared almost unanimous in their
opinion that if Russia had the atom
bomb, there was nothing that they,
individually, could do about it. A
more immediate, pressing concern
was whether Ted Williams, of the
Boston Red Sox, would . hit any
more home runs against the. New.
York Yankees."
* *
"The Deep South. The battle for
the two major baseball league pen-
nants temporarily overshadowed in-
terest of this section of the South
in such problems as control of
atomic weapons, devaluation of the
British pound and labor disputes.
Baseball fans clustered about
radio sets bringing play-by-play
descriptions of gashes involving the
four pennant contenders. Racism
manifested itself among the fans in
some sections. Thousands of South-
erners are rooting for the 'Card-
inals to beat out the Dodgers simp-
ly because of the presence of Negro
stars Jackie Robinson, Don -New-
combe and Roy Campanella on the
Brooklyn club. The Red Sox were
the favorites in the American
League"
* *
"The Central States. While Cen-
tral Western sports fans sat on the
edge of their chairs before radios.
and television sets this week, root-
ing for their favorite teams in the
major leagues' hot pennant races,
industrialists uneasily scanned their
diminishing soft -coal stockpiles and
wondered whether John L. Lewis
would let them replenish their coal
bins."
• * *
"The Pacific Coast, The spectac-
ular battle between the New York
Yankees and the Boston Red Sox
for the American League' baseball
. pennant and a different kind of bat-
tle, involving attempts to unload
Hawaiian pineapples on the West
Coast despite picket lines and.
cracked heads, gripped attention of
late last week."
These matters overshadowed
news of Russia's achievement in
atomic energy, word of which had
claimed priority for about two days
late last week,
* * *
We have no apace and no desire
to publish more of this, although
there's plenty. And our only com-
ment is this: If we were to come
out flatfooted and state that this
fs undoubtedly a cockeyed world,
no dopbt there would be plenty of
customers write in to the editor
prepared to argue the point.

ANCIENT CAPITAL
One of bhe most interesting
places in the world is Cuzco, the
ancientcapital of the Empire of the
Incas. In the days of the Spanish
Conquest of Peru it was the largest
city in America, On a hill back of
it is a very old fortress, a place
of refuge for centuries. The north-
ern wall of that fortress is perhaps
the most extraordinary structure
built by ancient man in the West-
ern Hemisphere. In fact, as an
achievement of engineering, it
stands without parallel in American
antiquity. The smaller blocks in the
wall weight ten or twenty tons.
Larger blocks are estimated to
weigh two hundred tons, A few of
the largest weigh three hundred
tons! And yet they are fitted ac-
curately together. There are no
clamps. There•was no cement .used
in constructing the wall The
gigantic polygonal blocks cling so
closely together that it is imposible
to insert the point of a knife be-
tween them. And they were brought
from quarries more than a mile
away where they were fashioned
by people using, stone tools. They
were moved over an inclined plane
by levers. The Incas had no iron
or steel, but they had bronze crow-
bees of great strength. They had
no derricks or pulleys or wheels,
but they had thousands of patient
workers. The determination and the
perseverance of the builders stag-
gers the imagination.
Can't Cooperate
With The Reda
Every calendar day brings new
proof that cooperation with Com-
munist groups is dangerous to all
that gives life value -belief in God
and the possibility of higher spir-
itual life. Denying this, communism
stripe the human being of dignity
and rejects his individual respon-
sibility.
Individual responsibility and the
right to make decisions affecting
one's own life do not fit in with
the aims of the Politburo; hence
the churches, which uphold the
moral responsibility of each human
being, must be brought under con-
trol of the Politburo. When the
church resists, force and intrigue
are employed by the ` Communists
to the end that religion- may be
abolished. •
Free trade unions were one of
the first groups to, learn that they
could not cooperate with Commun-
ists without becoming tools to serve
totalitarian ends. This was the
meaning of therecent conference in
Geneva of representatives of 47,-
000,000 workers of free lands who
were determined to organize a new
world federation of labor along
democratic lines° • and free from
Kremlin control, That conference
agreed upon the kind of organiza-
tion that could serve free trade
unions and appointed _a committee
to draft a constitution. -William
Greed, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
