HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1949-10-06, Page 2"Pals, Dear Old Pals" — Maybelle, the three -gaited mare,
puckers up for a kiss after Polly, the parrot, broke the sad news
.that the two pals must soon part. They're fellow thespians,
members of the Railroad Fair, but soon they'll be auctioned off
for less glamorous roles.
"There's nothing sure," according
to the old saying, "but death and
taxes." Maybe so. But I wouldn't
mind making a small wager that
there are at least a couple of things
almost as sure as the certainties in
the saying.
* *
First is that along about next
December, if ycu were to listen
carefully to your radio, you would
hear somebody singing "I'm Long-
ing for a White Christmas" or else
"Holy Night." Possibly both.
* * w
Second — that if you scanned
all the Farm Columns published
throughout the land, along about
this season you would find some
advice about how to store fruit and
vegetables for winter use. Now that
you've been warned, you can either
read on or take a second look at
our Fall Fair pictures. The advice
which follows is that of D. V.
Fisher, a Federal Department of
Agriculture specialist.
x s a
Freshness and flavour can be re-
tained. and wastage reduced to a
minimum by careful attention in
providing the correct temperature
and humidity conditions necessary
for good storage. A room that can
• be held at approximately 40 degrees,
and at a relative humidity of 80 to
90 per cent provides generally satis-
factory storage for most fruit and
vegetables.
If the homeowner is fortunate
enough to have a cool frost -free
basement or a cool provision room,
he can store his winter supply of
potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips,
onions and apples -with a minimum
of care. This room should prefer-
ably be insulated from the rest of
the house and placed on the north
side of the building with a window
which can he opened and closed.
* *
The room should contain a ther-
mometer and in fall and spring
weather, the window opened at
night and closed in the day time
to obtain the advantage of cool
night air. In the winter time the
window may be slightly opened or
kept entirely closed as required to
keep temperature from dropping be-
low about 38 deg. F, which is as
low as potatoes should be stored.
* * *
Even with proper control of tem-
perature, commodities such as cab-
bage, carrots, beets, turnips and
apples suffer severely from wilting
if not protected from low humidity.
The humidity of the storage room
can be maintained at a fairly satis-
factory level by keeping damp peat
moss or sawdust under a slatted
false floor.
* * ,
However, even under these con-
ditions carrots, turnips and beets
suffer from shrivelling and these
vegetables should be placed in boxes
and covered with slightly damp
sand or peat moss so as just to
cover the top layer. Stored in this
way, carrots may be removed in
fresh, bright turgid condition in
May. The window in the storage
room should be darkened as muck
as possible to prevent sprouting
and greening of potatoes, onions
and carrots.
* * .,
For the city apartment family
who buy their vegetables only a
few days ahead of use, the refriger-
ator vegetable crisper should be
used freely to maintain freshness
of leafy vegetables Carrots, beets,
turnips and cabbage should be left
in as cool a place as possible, and
enclosed in cellophane bags or
other fairly moisture proof con-
tainer to reduce shrivelling to a
minimum. Proper care of fresh
produce redues waste and improves
palatability,
P.S.: I don't know what "Turgid"
means either, but that's what the
man said,
REAL SERVICE
A man boarded a train at New
York and told the porter: "Now,
porter, here's $5. I want you to
wake me tomorrow morning and
get me off this train at South Bend.
I sleep heavily, and I'll fight you
and tell you anything to go on
sleeping, but get me off this train
at South Bend.
The porter thanked him and
promised the man he'd get him off
at South Bend for sure. However,
the next day the man woke up in
Chicago, with South Bend far be-
hind. He stormed up to the porter,
who was talking to the conductor,
and told him off in no uncertain
terms before he went to get a train
back to South Bend.
"My, that man was angry," said
the conductor.
"That nuthin'," said the porter.
"You should of heard the man T
did put off at South Bend."

kee: See the bulletin board for the

Three years ago Rocky Graziano
was banished ---on account of various
delinquencies, misdemeanors and so
forth --from New York Rings, Fight
fans whose memories travel back
that far will probably recall that, at
the time, it looked very much as
though the banishment would be
permanent.
* * *
For there wasn't the slightest
doubt that Rocky had been a bad,
bad boy. His record in war and in
peace, in the ring and out of it, was
—to put it mildly—pedicular. Ex-
cepting
xcepting for one quality, Graziano
had about as much chance of ever
again appearing before a Menhaden
fight mob as—well, as Joe Stalin
has of being elected president of the
Canadian Manufacturers' Associa-
tion,
:, *
But that particular quality hap-
pened to be exactly the one which,
in the fight racket, covers all the.
sins in the entire calendar. Rocky
Graziano could always draw the.
cash customers in highly -paying
quantities; and what between a suc-
cession of sour fights and an in-
creasing number of boxing bugs
who preferred to take the sport in
comfort, over the teleo waves, char-
acters of his ilk were badly needed.
So nobody at all familiar with the
screwy happenings of sportdom, es-
pecially the pugilistic section there-
of, was too greatly astounded when
the word cane tha, between Rocky
and the New York boxing colons,
all had been forgiven and forgotten,
(Perhaps "forgotten" is going a
trifle too far. We, personally, have a
suspicion that if Rocky had failed
to draw a gate, or given a poor ac-
count of himself, he might again
have found himself on the outside,
looking wistfully in.)
* * *
But this, like all proper sport tales
—except a few that the late Ring
Lardner wrote—has a happy ending.
A week or so ago, as he strode ring -
wards in the Polo Grounds, his head
swung from side to side, and his
beady black eyes seemed to be—and
probably were—engaged in the good
old custom of mentally "counting
the house."
What those eyes saw must• have
been reassuring, For there were just'
a few short of thirty-two thousand
sports lovers, and the shouts whi
rang in his ears were,.on the 'whole;
friendly. Thirty-two thousand.., are ,,
a whole lot of people to, attend,. tt
non -title fight of any kind these
days—and that was what Rocky was
engaged in, his opponent Charlie
Fusari belonging to another stratum
of boxing society, the weltt•re.eight
division.

Rocky's three years of exile hadn't
dewinded the balloon of his self-
confidence to any noticeable degree.
"I'll take care of the salami in one
round or less" was his boast, and
he tore out of his corner with a
scowl on his countenance as though
he expected Fusari to jump the
ropes from sheer fright,
* *
Fusari, however, just plain refus-
ed to scare. And for the biggest part
of the first nine rourids Mr. Graziano
looked as though he had forgotten
to pack his fighting ability along
with the self-confidence. Most of
his swings missed Fusari by at least
a foot; and once he lunged so
clumsily at his shiftier opponent that
he fell flat on his face.
* * *
All the while Fusari was doing a
neat job of pinking on the Graziano
features, scoring with left jabs and
opening eye -cuts with solid right
hands. Going into the final round,
the officials' score cards showed
Fusari out in front and, in all prob-
ability, a decisive winner on points.
* * *
And then—well, either Fusari just
plain ran out of gas, or else Rocky
managed to get a refill from some-
where. Graziano, with his bleeding
mouth wide open in that old familiar
snarl kept boring in, hurting Fusari
now, finally slaloming Charlie into
the ropes and clubbing him to the
floor,
*
Fusari gamely got up; but by now
Rocky had too much strength. He
kept Charlie trapped against the
ropes, wedged into a corner and—
according to some observers—liter-
ally choking him with one hand
while banging him unmercifully with
the other. (He might very well have
been disqualified— but somehow or
other, those crowd -drawers and
mob-pleasers don't appear to dis-
qualify as readily as less roirlrftll
boxers.)
So the fight was etoppcd, and
victory given to Graziano, with
fifty-six seconds still to go i11 the
tenth round, Rocky's reaction to
victory was typical of the man,
"Don't I do a real job on them
welterweights'?" he crowed delight-
edly—completely overlooking the
fact that he, as a middleweight, had
enjoyed a 12 pound edge in the
weights, and that it was the referee
that had stopped the fight, nett he
that stopped Fusari.

Perry. Ont.
Then later, when reporters asked
Rocky how he thought he would do
against a man his own size and
weight — Champion Jake LaMotta
for example, Graziano somehow or
other seemed to lose his cockiness.
"After all, me and Jake LaMotta is
good friends" was his reply, Just a
big, sweet, lovable kid—more sinned
against than sinning, is probably the
best thumbnail description you could
dig up for Rocky Graziano, we sup-
pose, unless you had five seconds
or so to think up a better one.
* * *
But as we promised you earlier,
this is a proper fight tale, the kind
with a happy ending, Charlie Fusari
lost nothing, not even prestige,
through his defeat. Matter of fact
he'll probably be in line for better
bouts, more lucrative purses, be-
cause of his showing. And as for
our hero—well, Rocky Graziano is
in line for "the important dough"
once again, We haven't heard, as
yet, of any Hollywood studio ready-
ing a picture "based on Rocky's life.
But,, judging of the future by the
past, it shouldn't be long now.
Ancient Redwoods
Hundreds of seedlings of the
Dawn Redwood, the ancient cousin
of the California Redwoods recent-
ly discovered in China, have been
planted along the Pacific Coast
from Alaska to Guatemala by Dr.
Ralph W. Chaney, who has just re-
turned from a fossil -hunting ex-
pedition to Oregon and British Co-
lumbia. Dr. Chaney last year went
to China to convince himself that
Ivietasequoia, as the Dawn Red-
wood is known to scientists, thought
to have become extinct 20,000,000
years ago, is still thriving. He stu-
died the living trees in China's in-
terior, and brought batik four seed-
lings and thousands of seeds.
Fossils of the tree unearthed by
Dr. Chaney and others indicate that
it once ranged from !Alaska to
-California,
High -Speed Scales
An electronic scale that weighs
livestock at public markets with
high accuracy and speed has been
developed. The weighing is done
through electrical impulses. When
certain buttons are pressed, the
weight, number and type of animal,
name of the weigher and selling
agency, and the date and time of
weighing are automatically printed.
The scale is accurate to within five
pounds on loads up to 32,000
pounds.
