Zurich Herald, 1949-09-08, Page 2SERENADE TO SEPTEMBER
Let's be honest, kids, let's face It;
Summer hasn't• been so hot.
Here's the month we start to tire hts
It's the start of school, Remember?
.OR, THAT OLD, SAD SONG
�: ry, liar ztui .
Fishing, swimming, boating, loafing,
Picnics, baseball ---all that rot.'
Sharpen tip those brains and pencils;
Wait with joy the teacher's bidding,
. kkabo,.
Let's forget that dreary August;
Meet the joys of ooy September.
Give threeclfeers for, .. well, for. Aw
Who in heck do we think we're kidding'
Pi- ;ably the only man that ever
made money out of rats was the
poet who wrote that thing about
"The Pie -eyed Piper of Hamilton,"
os whatever it was; and the rates
paid for poetry being what they
were, and are, we doubt if his take
was great, at that.
* * *
But to most of us, rats are just
an ever-present pest, although most
of us don't realize just how much
destruction they actually do. Any-
way, I'm not going to apologize fol
reminding you about this menace
once again, or for handing along
these four steps which, if carefully
followed, should be a big help in
ridding your farm of rats.
* * *
FIRST—Clean up. Get rid of all
trash, lumber, posts and so forth
which make nesting and hiding
places for the rats. Pile posts in
racks at least a foot off the ground.
* * *
SECOND — Pre -bait. Set out
weighed portions of unpoisoned
bait for a few nights. (Ground horse
meat is good for this purpose). This
will show you about how many
rats you are harboring. One pound
of bait makes a night's meal for
100 rats.
* * *
THIRD—Poison. Mix red squill
or antu with the same amount of
meat the rats cleaned up the pre-
vious night. Lock up all live stock
and pets! Put your poisoned bait
on short lengths of board, as this
makes the uneaten bait easy to.
pick up in the morning. V-shaped
board covers placed over the bait
will protect your live stock from
getting at the bait, if any of your
animals should happen to be run-
ning loose before the bait is picked
• *
up.
FOURTH--Rat-proof your build-
ings. Repair and patch all old holes
in foundations and sills. Line door
jam ,e, sill: and door bottoms with
sheet metal. Put metal collars
around all pipes and wires by which
rats may enter your buildings. If
you have corn cribs, line them with
hardware cloth topped by strips of
sheet metal.
* *
So there you have it; and even if
it sounds like a heap of bother, take
k from those who know, you'll find
it time and labor extra well spent,
* * *
Now, with cold weather just
sound the corner (we seem to be
!nest full of happy thoughts today!)
might not be amiss to pass along
(some expert information about an -
ether .roost important matter, name -
its, your chimneys.
* * *.
For even the best in home heat -
keg equipment will perform in ratio
to the effective structural design
rind capacity of the chimney or
vent pipe to which it is connected.
For a chimney or vent pipe is, first
send foremost, a venting device
which is supposed to carry the
waste products of combustion to
the outdoors, and nothing, either
decorative or structural, Should be
incorporated in a chimney design
which will prevent it, to the slight-
est degree, from performing this
function.
* *
Poor chimney construction is one
of the chief causes of all home fires.
It is vitally important to the home
owner that no combustible material
be in contact • with a chimney.
There are definite specifications for
the clearance between smoke pipes
and vent pipes and near -by com-
bustible material such as joists,
wood lath, plaster and wooden par-
titions.
All such surfaces ought to be
adequately protected with fireproof
material. It's the cheapest form of
fire insurance you can find. (Still,
this doesn't mean that you should
neglect to carry fire insurance as
well—enough to cover you, and at
present-day replacement prices).
* * *
In certain areas where soft coal •
is burned for hone heating, chim-
neys and smoke pipes are bound to
accumulate a layer of soot, so it is
necessary to have such chimneys
cleaned out regularly, Otherwise,
chimneys will "burn out" — the
soot will catch fire — and scatter-
ing sparks from such blazes can
ignite combustible roofs, especially
in dry weather.
* * *
Besides that, if wooden members
of your house framing happen to be
touching a chimney, internal fires
can result from a flash fire in a
chimney.
* *
Make certain that a short, direct
and well -supported pipe connects
your furnace with the chimney,
This will do away with a collection
c'haanber for soot. Sections of the
smoke pipe should be fitted to-
gether with metal screws, not
merely shoved into place, and the
smoke pipe should be securely hung
fr'oni the overhead joists with metal
straps, also cemented into the flue
opening of the chimney and so built
that it can withstand any "puff -
back."

All These Things
Come From Fish
Hair -clasps and jewelry, gelatine
and glue, lubricating oil and leather
softener, soap and cooking fats—
all from remains that were once
thrown away. It sounds like a fish
story, and so it is. The "poor fish"
is poor no longer. He is contribut-
ing to our comfort and health in
many spectacular ways.
Codfish livers started it. It was
found that oil extracted from these
contained deposits of Vital gin .,
which strengthens our resistance to
disease, But codfish did not hold
the monopoly. Halibut, swordfish,
sturgeon and albacore also had vita-
min -rich livers.
The fortunes that were made by
processing fish livers and market-
ing the oil, prompted industrialists
to take a closer look at the fish to
see if anything else besides its flesh
and oil could be turned to account.
They took a tip from the Chinese
and began to manufacture a tasty
soup from the fins of the shark.
Then somebody discovered how
to make glue from fish skins, a
process which has been so much
improved that today a ton of fish
skins yields 60 gallons of liquid
glue.
Quite apart from the oil in fish
liver, it was found that sharks, her-
rings, sardines, salmon and mack-
erel all provide an oil which is now
used in the manufacture of paints,
in tempering steel, in making lower
grade soaps, and in the tanning
industry to make leather more plia-
ble for gloves and handbags.
Guanine, a substance obtained
from fish, is processed into the
lovely pearl essence used by mak-
ers of artificial jewelry.
From the air bladder of such as
the sturgeon, carp, catfish and cod,
isinglass is obtained. This is used
in making jellies, imparting gloss
to silk ribbon, and for making cer-
tain glues and plasters. It is highly
valued by brewers and wine manu-
facturers because is clarifies their
brews and vintages.
Enterprising one-man firms 'are
fashioning trinkets and ornaments
from the peculiarly shaped bones in
some fishes' heads.
He Knew
The wedding presents were on
view. Displayed in a prominent
position was a cheque for $10,000,
the gift of the bride's father.
"I say, who is that chap laughing
at your father's chequer exclaimed
the bridegroom, feeling annoyed.
"Oh, that's his bank manager!"
said the bride.
ISSUE 37 -- 1949
by .� SwEsiTC•1 re.
Now swimming meets—unless
they happen to include Esther Will-
iams in Technicolor—are a type of
sports event which we can either
take or leave alone, principally the
latter. We recall sitting about half-
way through one such meet, many
years ago, and then announcing that
we were going to ask for our money
back on the grounds that not a
single record had been broken.
(We only 'desisted from making
this laudable attempt when some-
body remineded us that, as we had
conte in on a "skull," it mightn't be
quite ethical to demand the return
of our admission fee. But if you get
the point we are trying to make,
swimming records are a dine a
dozen or thereabouts, and it is a
very unusual meet that doesn't see
several of them] broken.)
K * *
But this 21 -year-old Hironoskin
Furuhashi seems to be something
really out of this world; and he fair-
ly knocked the folks out in Los
Angeles, where they take their
swimming very seriously indeed, for
a whole series of loops with the way
he churned up the water recently.
Vv hen word came out of Japan as
to some of the things Hiro - - - -
shucks, let's just make it H. F. and
let it go at that—was supposed to
have been doing, it raised peals of
scornful laughter among prominent
U.S. swimming coaches, who think
that they wrote the entire book so
far as the natatorial pastime is con-
cerned. But they soon changed their
tune when they saw the young Nip
really go to work,
Here, in a couple of nutshells, is
what H. F. showed the folks. He
started off by doing the 1500 meters
in 18:19—just 39.8 seconds lower
than the former mark made 11
years ago. Then, in the 400 meters,
he hit 4:33.3 which is just 1.9 sec-
onds faster than Alex Jany's record
made in 1947.
That same evening that he broke
the 400 meter nark he anchored his
Tokyo Swim Club team to victory
in the 800 meter free -style relay in
8:54.4—which is six -tenths of a sec-
ond faster than the mark the folks
south of the border made such a
fuss about when the United States
Olympic Team set it last year,
K * *
Not satisfied with that, he topped
things off with a 9:35.5 in the 800
meters, which lopped 15.4 seconds
from Bill Smith's record, which had
stood for 8 years.
For those of you who may be in-,
terested in the style, he used, H.F.,
and the rest of his Japanese team-
mates swam with a very choppy,
short arni stroke with a revolution-
ary four -beat, instead of the cus-
tomary six -beat, kick for every two
strokes. On the last two strokes the
Nips rest their legs.
*
Furuhashi carries this new style
to its zenith. His arms rotate like
a churn, apparently without pause,
and he obtains maximum power
from extra -strong back muscles.
That, according to the experts, is
the big difference between Japanese
•
swimming and what we are accus-
tomed to on this side of the Pacific,
The Japs use their backs, while our
lads and lasses are trained to use
mostly the arms and shoulders.
* * . .K
But, just in case some of you are
thinking of going and changing
your own style overnight, and set-
ting out to bust a flack of records
on your own, here's the catch. It
takes training—real, gruelling train-
ing—to make a swimmer such as
Hiro-whoo-zit. He commenced
swimming as most Japanese kids do,
when he started public school. And
by the time he was eleven—that's
ten years ago—in an all -Japan com-
petition he set records which are
still standing. * *
Personally, we think an outboard
motor is a whole lot less work; and
even speedier, if it doesn't act up
and refuse to start.
