Zurich Herald, 1950-04-27, Page 2s THIFAIM FRONT P4%�;�Aonk i =. The Spring cleanup season is here again, and it's time for burning dried grass, leaves, trash, brush and all the other odds and ends that gather around a place during the winter. But before you start, give a thought to this-1f0W MANY PEOPLIi WILL IIE'ET DEATH BECAUSE OF SUCH CLEAN- UPS? I haven't the full statistics for Canada, or the United States either, But I dict see recently that last spring, in the State of Iowa alone, no less than fifteen people met death through these Spring bon- fires; also, that most of such vic- tims were children under ten years old, or adults over sixty. To get the trash burned up with- out undue risk of life or limb, it will pay to follow the.stt simple rules. •k :r :k ONE: Don't leave bonfires or brush fires unattended. TWO: Burn trash or rubbish in covered wire enclosures, or in in- cinerators. THREE: Start open fires ONLY in the center of large cleared areas. FOUR: Keep your fires small by adding -only shall amounts of trash at a time. ; FIVE: Don't start grass or rub- bish fires on a windy day. SIX: Don't start bonfires late in the day, or around mealtime, when you can't be there to watch them. SEVEN: Never use coal oil, gas- oline, or any other infiamnlable liquid either to start a fire or to help keep it going. # � e EIGHT: Always stand on the up"yind side of a fire. If your clothing should happen to catch fire, DON'T START TO RUN. Instead, roll on the ground and keep your head upwind. A blanket, sack or coat may be used to smother flames. And now, something of interest— I hope— to those of you who raise chickens. Last year, out in the mid- dle west, demonstration flock owners were divided into two groups; those that crowded chicks by allowing less than half a square foot per chick up to eight weeks old, and those who allowed that much or more. The crowded group averaged 15, per cent mortality; the uncrowded group lost only 6 per cent. Cost of production in the first group was 39y2 cents a pound; in the second it was only 31 cents. Com- ment is unnecessary; the facts speak for themselves. If your chicks shote a tendency to pile or crowd at night, your brooder house may be to blame. W. R. Whitfield, writing in Wal - laces Farmer, has some worth- while comments and suggestions regarding this. Improper temperature conditions cause most crowding o- piling. The trouble usually shows up when chicks are from a few weeks old ftp to roosting time. And the dan- gerous time of day is about sun- down, or when chicks no longer can see to eat, If all your brooder house win- dows are in the south wall, you are more likely to have crowding trouble. The old-fashioned string of south windows make that side of the house cooler and keep it lighted longer. The light encour- — Look, No Hands—Tony Rocca, one of the grunt -and -groan set's more versatile performers, disdains the use of common- place headlocks and toeholds, preferring to flatten his opponent with an indelicate flying kick to the jaw. Z'ictim of the unorth- odox treatment in this snatch is Ali 13aba, who 'Nvould have done better with the aid of his Forty Thieves•—he lost the bout. ages chicles to collect near the windows for late -in -the -clay eating. Then the coolness causes them to pile up when darkness falls. The trouble is worse under warm -room brooder conditions— when oil or coal brooders are used. Crowding doesn't often happen with electric brooding, probably because lights usually are used with that kind of brooder. The brooder light seems to cut down on crowd- ing, even when housing conditions aren't so good. Piling seldom is reported in a brooder house which has the right number of windows in the right places. In one up-to-date experi- mental brooder house, for in- stance, there is just, one window in each of three walls—east, south, west. That means there is little difference in either light or tem- perature over the entire floor area. So chicks don't crowd to one side to eat just before sundown. They're scattered over the Douse to finish their eating; so when darkness comes they can sense the hover's heat and field their way back to a warm spot for their night's sleep. # # +k If you have piling -up trouble be- cause your brooder House is old- fashioned, you can fir things up in a hurry. Just remove all but one window on the south side (and cover roof windows), their add one to both east and west walls. Your house will be a lot safer for brood- ing in any kind of weather. If you're suspicious of this idea, try this test: Cover the extra south windows with cardboard. If you have four, five or six windows on the south, cover the middle ones and Ieave just those on each end in use. If that improves the situa- tion—as it probably will—then you can go ahead with a mor perman- ent rearrangement of windows. Present Iowa State College re- commendations call for not more than one window for each 10 linear feet of wall space in brooder Houses.

Most of us fire satisa• fied to pick the teams use think will finish on top or, at the most, those that will be first, second and thigd. +k # However, there are some real - sporting bugs who go right down the line from first to eighth—in baseball, that it. And if you imagine. this is an easy thing to do v; a might say that the odds against predict- ing the exact order of finish in either major league are 40,400 to 1. The odds against picking both of them correctly 1,625,702,400. (If you doubt the correctness.6 either of the above figures, get out your slide rule and dope it out. yourself—or else put in a beef to Arthur Daley of The New York Times, from whom we swiped them.) * �` All this serves as notice that we are about to make our annual Na-_° tional and American League pre, dictions, and if they conte to you a little. bit late we apologize and hope you'll be able to catch up on any sleep you may have lost await- ing them. We shall not try and pick more than one in each loop, finding it hard enough to get .two into the correct slots, let alone a dozen or more. (Last year we picked Boston Red Sox and Brook- lyn Dodgers, but had the first men- tioned knocked off in a last-minute photo finish, as some of you may recall.) 'I' k In„ the American League our sentimental choice. would be either the Philadelphia Athletics or the Detroit Tigers; and when Nye first began peering into our mach bat- tered crystal ball, it appeared as though the latter must get the call. But the more we studied the respective strengths of the respec- tice clubs, the more it looked as though we would have to settle, once again, for the Boston Red Sox. On paper they looked invincible, in spite of the sneaking feeling that some of their key men show a slight tendency to choke up when the chips are down and the going tough. In fact if they should happen to get away to a good Start— something they have failed to do in the past seasons—they might win the Junior League by as far as that proverbial strong country boy can throw the proverbial red apple. Yes, as we said before, we had definitelydecided on Mr. McCar- thy's Red Sox. And tb,en—and then —we happened to read about solihe doings which kicked our carefully compounded dope every whi'chway, and then some. These doings concerned a gentle- man of the name of Joseph Di - Maggio, who will be 36 years of old age come November,—which is plenty of age to be carrying 'on ode's shoulders in big league circles. In addition, Mr. DiMaggio has been so troubled with aching gangs that it was uncertain that he would even get to the barrier in this season's race. So here are just a couple of things which that poor over -aged cripple did in his first Yankee Stadium appearance—an Exhibition game with the Brooklyn Dodgers. "In the fifth inning he raced some 100 feet and fobbed Brooklyn's Roy Campanella of a triple, and possibly of an inside -the -park -homer, with the most amazing catch witnessed in the Stadium since DiMagglo's job on a drive by Hank (Weenburg C L SI 'IED ADVER"NSIN AGENTS WANT181) �svw;",Garden Trnetors very Solid for literaturLimited, 'West 11, Ontario, IIAIIY UIIAUIifi 1w1iF.N You can buy proven perform why settle for less?

"The cheers, which were deafening, .had hardly died away gvhen DiMaggio 'came up to the plate a minute or two later and, after working Roe to a 3 -and -2 count, propelled, a terrific drive into the lower left field stands. The ball landed about twenty rows up and, needless to report, the recep- tion which accompanied his leisure- ly trot around the paths was at least equal to: the one he got for his incredible catch." Well, when we read those lines —and we only wish we had been there instead of trying to find excuses for not starting to do a little gardening—we smashed the crystal ball, chucked out the tea - leaves, and started over. We know that the New York Yankees don't . figure to beat the Boston Red Sox; of-, for that matter; to much more than squeeze past Philadelphia Athletics for third place. We know that they pulled a miracle last season, and that miracles, like lightning, seldom strike twice in the sante place. Still—they're our pick..

And if they shouldn't chance to come through— we'll just charge the two dol- lars, tip to sentiment, What about the National League, you say? Well, if the l.rookiyn Dodgers don't win by at least ten to fifteen games, there just isn't any justice. They should outclass all the others by so much that the race might be all over by July the Fourth. Philadelphia Phils might be second, and St, Louis Cardinals are third. But the Dodgers appear to be the biggest cinch to appear in sports since the days ofMan O'War. He was the horse, you might remember, who once ap- peared to be home free; and fin- ished second to a thing called Upset. Lost Liberty Much human suffering is due to the failure of early diagnosis—and this is no less true in economics and politics than in medicine. Early symptoms often go unheeded. They may pass; they may mean any one of many things; they do not sub- stantially impair—these are typical human reactions to early warnings. But it is a fact that for countless millions of people, liberty has been lost—lost for the rest of their lives and perhaps for the lives of their children. These people have often failed to recognize the early syrup - toms, The promises of statism, of more government intervention, of more planning, are,alluring.
